The cold, hard floor of our hiding place pressed into my shoulders.  I wasn't
sure I wanted to do this.  The Red Ape grinned down at me, his big hairy, hands
gripping my ankles, holding my legs up his chest, his second penis pressing my
backside.

"How will you stop me,?" he asked again and shifted his weight to press into me.

I looked desperately for something to distract him.  Around us, the robots of the
ancient Forerunners hung in storage alcoves; the black spider walkers in cubby
holes, and the double-sphered Guardians hanging on the walls.  Wex's cock head
bulb widened the tight ring of my anus.  An eye on the nearest Guardian swiveled,
extending from its housing.  Its iris dilated.

"It moved!" I cried.  I suddenly wriggled free of the Ape's grip.  "That
Guardian!  The eye moved!" I remembered my dream -- all those eyes watching me. 
My heart thumped.

"Don't play games with me," said Wex.  He grabbed for me, but I jumped to one
side.  The eye tracked to follow me.

"No!  Really!  Look!"  The Guardian's eyes sank back into its socketand stared
straight ahead, as if it had never come alive.

Arms wrapped around me, Wex looked.  "I see nothing."  He blew into my ear.  "You
are playing games with me."

"Not me.  That thing is playing dead.  "My fears of him were forgotten.  Now, my
heart tripped along, running infront of other worries.  "What if there are
Forerunners, or some ancient computerhiding somewhere in Yalva?"

"Hah!"  The Red Ape released me and went to the Guardian hanging on the wall.He
tapped the milky glass dome of the eye.  "Are you alive?" he asked it, smirking.

Suddenly, the eye looked up at him.  "Yaaa!"  He jumped back into a crouch.

"You see!" I said.

He growled deep in his throat, his head casting side to side. "Oh, for a
weapon!"he moaned.

Both of us were stark naked, hiding in an alcove with only one entrance.  Ifelt
completely helpless and regretted struggling against Wex's embrace a fewminutes
before.  The challenges I faced there seemed minor compared tobeing discovered by
the Green Men or hidden Forerunners.  I craved warmarms around me once more.

I could only think of one thing to do.  "We've got to leave," I said. 
"Maybewhatever is watching us, hasn't gotten to the door yet."

I grabbed Wex's hand and pulled him down the short corridor to the exit.I laid my
hand on the panel.  The door opened.

Before the doorway stood the thick green form of Hukh, his penis extended to a
full, throbbing nine inches.  He grinned at me. "Still trying to hide fromHukh?"
he said.  "Hukh knows all places to hide in Yalvadosh!"

This guy was a jinx -- a loose canon. Well, a rather large canon, actually.I
remembered how I had finally accepted him last night.  Now, my bodywas electric
from Wex's attentions.  If Hukh only wanted my body, I would happilyparticipate. 
A quick look over his shoulder revealed nothing more thana lone Guardian,
floating a few paces from the door.

Wex pushed past me, flexing his hands.  "I'll tear you to pieces you -- "

I slapped his arm.  "Don't be an idiot," I said.  I looked Hukh in the eyes and
rocked my hips.  "Do you want what I think you want?" I asked.

He nodded vigorously.

Hand on hip, I frowned at him.  "You're not going to turn us over to yourGreat
Gooloo and that lot?"

Hukh wrinkled his nose.  "No!  Hukh will help you!  I will help you escape."He
pointed to a pile on the grass. "See!  I brought your cloak and weapons!Hukh help
you!"

I grinned and licked my lips.  "You see," I said to Wex.  I felt like
laughing.Gooloo hadn't given the little guy much reason to be loyal.  He would
latch ontoanyone who showed a little appreciation.

"You were watching us!" Wex said.  "Twisted pervert."

I stroked the red hair on Wex's huge back.  "He doesn't look so twisted to me,"I
said.  I felt very naughty and excited.  "Why don't -- " sudden shynessdropped my
voice to a husky whisper -- "Why don't we all go inside?"  I felt a surge of
wetness between my thighs and had to wiggle in response.

A grunt was Wex's only reply.  His strong arms swept me up and carried me back
inside.  "Oh my!" I laughed, happy to surrender now that danger had passed.  Both
these men might have seemed ugly to me once: Wex with his thin, thin lips and
slight muzzle; and Hukh, with light green skin and features compressed by
dwarfism.  But both had beautiful, sculptured male bodies, and offered an avid
attention that thrilled me.  Their strange faces became exotic and sexy.

Hukh snatched up the pile of clothing and weapons and capered along behind. 
Inside, the door, I cried, "Wex, let me close the door!"  But he carried me
onwards.  Looking over his shoulder, I saw Hukh press his palm against the panel.
 It barely fit, but it did the trick.  The door slid shut.  I realized I had been
wrong to think none of the Green men hand hands small enough to open the door. 
Oh well.

Back in our hidey hole, Wex stooped to lay me on the floor. "Wait!" cried Hukh. 
He spread my cloak and Wex set me down on it.

"You are a gentleman, Hukh," I said.  I offered him my hand. The four-armed dwarf
took my hand in his and stroked the back of it with another.  His erection
swelled even as his touched me. "My, you are excited," I said.  I slid a hand up
his thigh and grabbed the bobbing rod.  He moaned and jerked and his cock spurted
white fluid that impacted on my nipple.  "Very excited!" His cock spurted more
semen, ten or twelve pulses, splattering my breasts.

Even while this was happening, Wex spread my legs and pressed his lower cock into
my naked pussy.  I groaned and twisted my hips to sink him deeper inside me.  As
he fucked me, I smeared Hukh's come over my breasts and belly, stroking his
softened organ with one hand.  "That was fast," I said to him.

"But Hukh get hard again soon!" he said.  I kept pulling his organ it did indeed
perk up again.  Meanwhile Wex hammered into me, grunting and my clit got taut and
I felt my orgasm coming. I grunted and moaned, thrusting my hips up to him.

Just as I was on the verge he pulled out.  "Now," he groaned. "I want both inside
you."  Before I knew what was happening, he flipped me over onto my knees and
pressed a cock bulb against my anus.  Excited, I decided to try it, but my heart
beat rapidly and I tensed.  His fingers played through my vagina and around his
cocks -- lubricating himself I hoped.  Then he pressed into me.  There was a
moment when I though I'd be too tight, but he worked his organ in.  I felt a kind
of pleasure mixed with pain and groaned.

"Oh my!" I said.  "fill my pussy too!"  I reached back between my legs and caught
his lower cock.  On his out stroke, I directed it between my wet folds.  He trust
in, both his organs filling both my holes.  Orgasm welled up from inside me and
exploded with surprising intensity.  "Oh, yes!"

I dropped to my elbows, clutching my hands spasmodically as he screwed me.  I
came again and again in waves.  Finally, I heard Wex's breath shuddering.  He
growled and grasped the flesh of my hips in his big hands.  I reached back and
stroked his working thighs, my throat pouring breathy, wordless encouragement.

"Arrr!" he cried, driving both rods deep so I felt both sphincters stretch even
more.  Heat and wetness squirted inside me.  At the thought of his twin organs
shooting semen into me, I came once more.  Finally, he slumped over me, wrapping
hot arms around my body and pressing his sweaty chest against my back.

"My that was something else!" I said.  I stroked his thighs a moment longer, then
became aware of Hukh's hot cock head bumping my cheek.  "I forgot you!" I said. 
I grabbed the dwarf's thick organ.  "Come on.  I want you too."  Wex collapsed
onto my cloak, murmuring sleepily, as I slipped out from under him and pulled
Hukh's organ into my mouth.

"Joan sucks well!" said Hukh.  He pulled my blonde hair around my eyes, then
slipped his hands down to pull on my hanging breasts.

I did suck well.  I slipped my tongue over his organ, tasting the bitter
saltiness of come.  I tightened my lips around his shaft and bobbed my head up an
down.  Then I broke for breath. "Hukh is rock hard!" I said, poking his organ so
it waggled back and forth.  What a nice, curved banana it was!  I wanted it
sheathed between my labia.

I rolled over, and reached out for Wex's broad back.  "So much warm male flesh,"
I said.  I pressed my body against him, breasts and belly rubbing his muscles, my
buttocks propped in the air.  He murmured again but barely moved.  I looked back
and wiggled my behind at Hukh.  "Make me a sandwich," I said.

He probably didn't understand the words, but he understood the motion.  Pushing
my knees apart on the cold floor, he crawled up and pressed his penis into my
slick vagina.  I cocked my hips to open myself wider, putting my weight on Wex
and loving the press of skin to skin.  Hukh leaned over me, pressing his belly
against my buttocks and grabbing my shoulders.  His rod slid deep, spreading my
labia with a wonderful surge of warmth. "Mmmmm!  Yes!" I groaned.

He pulled out to the tip, then plunged back in, grunting.  His thick cock speared
me repeatedly, until my pussy again swelled with pleasure and I began to gulp for
breath.  "Hukh fucks well!" I gasped.  "Oh!  Fuck well!"  I began to push back
onto him and my orgasm broke, throbbing from clit to womb.  Hukh thrust
frantically into my clenching pussy, driving me farther on to Wex's back before
he too exploded.

Some time later, we untangled ourselves and began to dress in gentle silence,
body's occasionally brushing together, hands occasionally touching warm skin.  I
pulled on my boots first, the buckled the harness, checked my sword and hooked on
my damp cloak.  I hesitated, then used the cloak to wipe away the slipperiness
between my thighs and buttocks.

I felt happy, even if my behind ached.  Back on Earth I had never been an object
lust -- here on Mars I had the body male's drooled for.  I liked the attention.

Perversely, that reminded me of Shodu.  "What are my friends doing?" I asked
Hukh.

The dwarf was inspecting one of the Guardians hanging on the wall.  He shrugged. 
"They looked for you many hours, then gave up.  Great grubby Gooloo said he look
for you and keep you without harm, they should go on to Ape city.  So they go."

Wex snorted.  "A surprise awaits them!" he said.

"What do you mean?"

He grinned teeth and fangs.  "Only that the Princess Tona needs no rescuing.  She
is our Queen."

"What!  I thought she was a Princess of Nudalla."

Wex held up a hand and gathered himself, posturing like a storyteller.  "Xoltesh,
my city, is built around an ancient temple -- a place where the demon Su-bu-tek
pushes his head up from the earth.  His body stretches like a great worm into the
heart of Mars.  When he is angry he shakes his tail and the world rocks. 
Su-bu-tek demanded blood sacrifice.  Everyday he required living, intelligent,
beings dropped into his jaws.  To feed him my people warred and warred until our
own numbers dwindled.

"Then, three years ago, from the sky appeared, a woman.  A woman in a great
feathered cloak, with many jewels woven among the fronds, and she had a flying
disk -- not like your ships of the air -- and it obeyed her and struck down
opposers with lightning.

"'Follow me, and I shall quiet Su-bu-tek forever,' she said. And she entered the
Temple of the Great Worm in the Heart of Mars, and she sang into the Jaws and
Su-bu-tek was quiet!"

Lowering his chin, Wex lost his formal posture.  "So we made her our Queen."

"Hukh remember shaking of the earth," he said.  "Many years ago, when Green Men
lived above ground."  His face twisted in fear. "Mother was killed by falling
rocks," he said.  He rubbed his nose and sniffled.  I petted his shoulder.

Was Su-bu-tek really a monster, or just another Forerunner device like Yalva or
the subway?  What could it be, and how did Tona stop it?  I put away those
questions for more important ones.  "What will she do to my friends when they try
to save her?" I asked.

Wex shrugged his massive shoulders.  "Kill them?  Perhaps she will keep the
Prince as her slave toy.  I know not."

I pressed a hand to my mouth.  A little slavery might do Shodu some good, but I
knew Tlay and Zhok were risking their lives. In fact, the thought of any of them
dead hurt me.  I straightened my harness and checked the draw of my sword.  "We
have to stop them, before they get into trouble," I said.

I strode down the exit corridor and Hukh and Wex loped along behind.  At the door
another thought occurred to me.  I spun around and asked "Why the heck did you
guys kidnap your own Queen?"

Hukh almost plowed into me, and Wex jerked to a halt behind him. He frowned.  "I
can only guess she meant to lure men and ships from Toruda.  Even as we speak,
one of her allies may be attacking your city.  Perhaps Tona has doubled back in
the flying disk and is this minute raining death upon Toruda."

I remembered towers of Toruda, set against the yellow grass of Mars and the
nearby lake.  A beautiful place with thousands of people.  Were lightning bolts
blasting into it right now, killing   men, women and children?  What could I do
about it?

"We still have to help my friends," I said.  I pressed my hand against the panel
and the door opened onto the artificial forest of Yalvadosh.  "Come on!"
