Chapter Six

Being on the receiving side of things, it took Ario a bit more time in the shower to reach a comfortable level of cleanliness, especially after the second time.

His body was still tingling, his mind still in awe. How long had it been since he felt a release of any kind without extreme discomfort to outright pain? And now here he was popping off orgasms like the world was coming to an end today. It was a sensation of freedom that he had not felt in too many years to count.

He was in an extremely good mood when he wandered into the master bedroom and saw his giant leaning against the windowsill, sashes thrown open to the warm, sticky night air and chattering to a squirrel.

He jerked to a halt and blinked his eyes, but the vision remained. Cailte was having a conversation with a squirrel and, of all things, a bat.

“Friends?” He shook his head at the oddity of having an animal speaker as a lover.

“Just setting a watch.” Cailte chuckled as the animals scurried away. “And they brought you something, lad.”

Ario stepped closer and watched as Cailte opened his hand to produce Ario’s missing cell phone.

“They said it belonged to you, lad, and that it had been making noises and disturbing the peace of the night.”

“It still works?” Ario was amazed. He had hurled the thing so far he had been sure it was lying against a tree somewhere, a pile of broken parts. He retrieved the phone and pressed a button on the side to display the calls missed. Then he resisted the urge to hurl the damn thing against a wall.

“What does it do?”

Cailte’s question pulled him out of his growing funk. “This is a cell phone,” he explained. “You may not believe this, but this device allows me to have a conversation with just about anyone from anywhere.”

“Right,” Cailte snickered. “Next thing you are going to say is that people are calling to their loved ones who live on the moon.”

“Actually, we have gone to the moon, Cailte. And it is cold and vast and you need a lot of machines to breathe and survive there.”

Cailte froze. His eyes were so wide it was almost comical.

“And the sun, lad?” he asked, his voice breathless. He didn’t look upset over the disclosure. If anything, the man was beginning to look intrigued.

“Too hot for us to go there and too far away. It took weeks of traveling by rocket ship to get to the moon alone. We are not capable of traveling and surviving a trip to the sun yet.”

“Yet, he says,” Cailte shook his head. “Are they trying?”

“Not really.” Ario chuckled. “It would take too much money. But we are not speaking of economics. We are speaking of this cell phone.”

“Conversations over a long distance.” Cailte shuddered. “The thought of it, lad. So many times in my past trials would I have given a finger to be able to relay information to my fellows.”

“We use it for everything now, old man.
