John sat with his back against the headboard and Alyssa, Sparks and Cra sat on the bed in a semicircle in front of him, watching as he began his tale. Jadey curled upfortably on her side, her beautiful dark green body rippling with the ethereal bands of light that were radiating out from her swollen belly.


    “Now gather around little girls and let me begin…” he said in creaking voice, as though he was a wizened old storyteller.


    The three teenagers giggled and the room echoed with the beautiful melodic cadence of femaleughter. The wonderful sound made John feel happy to be alive.


    “Jade here is what is known as a Nymph.” He began.


    “I thought they were just fictional creatures in fairy tales?” Cra asked sceptically.


    “Yeah they are. Nymph is just a nickname, like the Ashanath are nicknamed Greys.” he exined.


    The girls all nodded their understanding.


    “Do you remember I told you how humanity started taking previously imed worlds from the Ashanath?” John asked, receiving nods of confirmation from his lovers.


    “Well one of those systems that the Terran Federation acquired, was orbited by a called Lenarra. This was sparsely popted by Lenarrans, who were an exclusively female species and lived in a primitive hunter gatherer society.” he exined.


    “Why do you keep using the past tense?” Alyssa asked curiously.


    “One of the quirks of Lenarrans, is that they possesstent psychic powers. They are naturally able to read the desires of males and then shapeshift to exactly resemble what that man finds most attractive”. He paused, making sure he had their attention.


    “What did Jade turn into when she read your most heartfelt desires?” Sparks asked John inquisitively.


    “Me.” Alyssa interjected quietly, embarrassed.


    “Aww that’s so sweet!” Sparks replied, hugging her friend affectionately.


    “You don’t mind?” The beautiful blonde asked tentatively, worried at hurting her friend’s feelings.


    “We know how much he cares for us, but it’s obvious you two are made for each other.” Cra grinned at Alyssa, perfectly at ease with the reality of their situation.


    This prompted lots of hugs and kind words of endearment. Eventually they all settled down again to let John continue his story.


    “So when humanity first discovered the and the Lenarrans started shifting into whatever form men most desired, you can imagine what happened next.” he went on.


    “A Nymph based gold rush?” Sparks asked quietly.


    “Exactly. Pretty soon the entire popce had been wooed, or forcibly kidnapped from the. Now there’s not a single Nymph left on Lenarra.” he said sorrowfully.


    “So what happened to the ones taken from the?” Cra asked curiously.


    “Not many are left.” John said, his voice tinged with sadness.


    “Nymphs can’t breed with humans and although they are incredibly long lived, most died off through idents, murder and the like.” he said, his face filled with regret at the doleful behaviour of humanity towards this species.


    “When did all this happen?” Alyssa asked.


    “Around 300 years ago.” John said, shocking the teenagers to the core.


    “Jade is 300 years old?” Cra said in stunned amazement.Material ? N?velDrama.Org.


    “At least 300 years old, yes.” John replied.


    “You would never guess. She doesn’t look a day over 200!” Alyssa joked, good naturedly.


    “How do you know all this stuff?” Sparks asked in amazement.


    “Well you’ve probably guessed by now I’m not entirely human.” he said, smiling at her gently.


    Sparksughed good naturedly. “And, I’m constantly thankful for it!” she grinned.


    “Well my mother was human, but I have no idea what species my Father was. I spent a good 15 years or so researching all I could about every alien species known to man, trying to find any kind of clue, but I found nothing.” he said, sighing.


    “But as a side effect of that, you know a lot of history about a lot of aliens?” Cra asked.


    “Yes, basically.” John nodded.


    “Handy fellow to have around then.” Sparks said, grinning at him.


    “Yes I agree. Ladies, I think we should keep him” Alyssa said imperiously, which led to a furious round of tickling by John.


    “So what’s happening to Jade’s tummy?” Cra asked with concern, while Alyssa gasped for breath once John had released her.


    “She’s got to be reacting to your cum somehow.” Sparks surmised.


    “Yeah, but reacting how?” John asked, concerned for the green alien girl.


    “We’ll just have to ask her when she wakes up I suppose.” Sparks shrugged “She might be able to tell us more.”


    “I guess we don’t have much choice.” John said with a resigned expression on his face.


    “Hey, don’t worry so much!” Sparks said, smiling at him happily. “Look what it did for us three! I can’t imagine it will do anything bad to her.”


    Cra nodded eagerly, remembering how quickly her terrible wounds had recovered under John’s tender ministrations.


    “I wonder why she talks the way she does?” Cra asked curiously. “Is all the ‘master’ talk some kind of fetish thing?”


    “Oh no, that’spletely sincere. Nymphs are unquestioningly obedient to whoever they imprint themselves on. Desire to abuse that was one of the things that led to their effective envement by humanity.” John exined sadly.


    “Which was why you were initially reluctant with her?” Alyssa asked perceptively.


    “Yes.” John replied simply.


    “She’s the first Nymph I’ve met, but I’d heard all the legends. I was hoping to somehow free her, but it’s obvious to me now that’s just the way she is.” he said with regret.


    “So she’s unquestioningly loyal and obedient?” Cra asked.


    “Sounds like us.” Alyssa grinned.


    “She’ll fit right in.” Sparks giggled.


    Johnughed along with them, but something nagged in his mind suddenly. A kernel of truth in the girl’s statements that seemed to resonate within him. Shaking his head at the odd sensation, he ignored it and it went away.
