tasted it.
‘51 illion!’ Lati whooped. ‘But, hey look at this,’ she cried, doing a double-take. ‘There appears to be a spot of seepage.’
Indeed. A small pearly drop had oozed up through the glans of Jake’s cock. ‘Hello!’ it cried. ‘It’s me, Pre-cum!All systems are go! The balls are in position, the shuttle’s all set for launch. We’re starting countdown,
now.
Ten. Nine…’
‘It
talks!
’ exclaimed Lati. ‘
Cool
.’
Baby stopped fingering her neck. Jake raised his head and eyeballed his talking cock with alarm.
Fully
trippy.
‘Eight.’
On a whim, Lati opened her mouth and bent over.
‘Don’t touch it!’ cried Doll, waving the
Whole Earthling Catalogue.
‘It says here it’s necessary to build up a tolerance to Earthling bodily fluids over a period of time. It says here—’
Baby dived at Lati to shove her aside before she could touch her lips to Jake’s cock. If anyone was going to do that sort of thing to Earth boy here,
she
was. He was
her
Earth boy, she fumed. Who was the leader here anyway?
Too late. They were both too late.
CHICK-A-BOOM!
It wasn’t entirely clear what happened, but next thing they knew, Lati lay panting and dishevelled on the floor. Her t-shirt was twisted around her torso as though she’d dressed in a tornado. A lemon-yellow aura pulsed over the surface of her skin, heat poured off it in visible waves, and her form oscillated for a few seconds between Nufonian grey and Earth girl. A smell like that of jonquils filled the room. Her antennae vibrated and hummed. ‘Wowie zowie,’ she murmured. ‘Atomic electric.’
Baby was paralytic with jealousy. Typical fucken Lati, jumping in like that. God! That girl really pissed her off sometimes.
Of course she does, Baby. That’s because she’s actually as wild and free as you just like to think you are.
Huh? Who’s there? Is that you, God?
No, it’s Will Smith. What d’ya reckon? Of course it’s Me, God. The One and Only.
So, God. You don’t think I’m wild and free?
Don’t go putting words into My mouth. I merely said you’re not as wild and free as Lati. But you’d like to be. Of course, the problem here is also that you’ve become rather bizarrely attached to this Earth boy. Get over it. Abduction isn’t the real thing, Baby.
But—
Look, I’d love to stay and chat but I’ve got to see an oracle about a prophecy. Hooroo for now.
Hoo-what?
It’s an Australianism, Baby. If you’re going to stay in Sydney, get with the lingo.
Hooroo to you too, then.
‘Countdown temporarily suspended,’ announced what was left of wee Pre-cum with a sigh. Jake wasn’t feeling quite so robust as a moment ago. In fact, he was feeling rather disoriented. ‘Mum,’ he croaked. ‘Mum. I wanna go home.’
ZzzxxxsssssZZZZT! The PA system crackled into operation. The response came in tinny cyber-syllables: ‘Come. in. Gal. gal. Mum. here. Please. con. firm. re. quest. to. go. home.’
I will never take drugs again, Jake promised himself, palpitating, sweating, clutching the sides of the table. I can’t take this shit.
Baby grasped Jake’s flagging cock possessively while addressing the PA. She’d deal with Lati later. ‘Negative, Mum. Operational error. Go back to sleep. Over.’
‘Night. Night.’ Zzzzzzzzt.
The Foo Fighters sang on.
Under Baby’s warm green fingers, Jake’s shuttle wassoon ready for launch once more.
Lati was still lying motionless on the floor. Doll sprang to her side. She shook her shoulders and stroked her cheeks. ‘I bet this wouldn’t have happened if we’d started with an Earth girl,’ Doll grumbled. ‘Baby, leave it alone for a second and come over here, will you? I’m not sure that Lati’s all right.’
Baby reluctantly turned her attention to her mis-demeaning mate. ‘You okay, Lati?’ she asked, secretly hoping she was suffering for her sins. She was
out of fucken order,
that girl.
They were both attending to Lati when a bevy of anxious squeals and
