The Last Son

"What's that?" Mary asks as she sits next to me.

"Uh..." say as I try to think, something I've become incapable of doing whenever she is around. "Transmission box, but a more advanced one," I say with my back hunching as I try my best to modify it.

"Whatcha gonna do about it?" She asks plopping her chin on her fist, still looking at me intently.

"Well... we need it to help us navigate to our destinations, and for communication as well, as radar... and many other things, I need to fix it so it won't notify the UG when we start the ship,"

"Okay, and then?"

"Then I will put it back and go to the next one, this ship has four different navigators and eleven transmitters. Then, I need to test run the engines, we need to clear the soil from the top, and oh, I need to cover our track, I need to erase this planet from the—"

"Can I touch your butt?" She asks grinning.

"W—what?" I look up at her confused.

"You look so cute concentrating on your box there," she stands up and starts massaging my shoulder from behind.

"Mary, I need to finish this—"

"Yes, I know," she lets out an exaggerated huff, "I'm just bored and your bums are sticking out,"

My eyes open, trying to reply to that sentence.

"Argh! You're cute!" She squeezes my cheeks together and kisses my pucker lips. "Fine, you better finish these things quickly, I want to spend some time with you,"

"Oh? Yeah? Where?" Spending time with her is always a good idea.

"I'm taking you out on a date,"

I frown, "On a date?"

"Wine and dine, baby,"

"I don't... I don't drink," Nat and Dom drank once, and Lor's wrath even put Ana and me in fear for a decade we had no will to touch alcohol throughout our teenage years.

She kisses me and smiles, "You will when I pour it between my chest,"

The sudden commotion between my legs is the only answer she needs. "I'll pick you up for dinner!" she says walking out of the spaceship, leaving me alone breathless and now bothered. I can't wipe off the image of the sweet, tangy flavor of fermented fruit running down her body.

I look down at my penises, "I have no control over myself," I mumble.

"What's that?"

In the afternoon I have company, John and his twin Judas and their father, Luxor.

"It's the navigation system, this one is specifically to detect any vehicle with a communication device, including long-transmitted missiles and weapons alike." I see John nod as Judas keeps looking around.

"Are these working now?" Judas asks as he nods at the navigation boxes I laid on the table.

"No, they are off, I just reassembled them and inactivated their main program," I also put the program Dom and I built as best as I could, so both of us could detect each other. This ship isn't as advanced as the one my brother built, and I'm afraid when we cross each other path, he might think I'm an enemy.

I don't want him to accidentally shoot me.

"What are these? Are these finished? Are you going to turn on the engine anytime soon?"

I look at the men and frown.

"Is there anything you want to ask me?" I ask them suspiciously.

Luxor folds his arms on his front. He and his sons looked at me with a hard look. "What can we give you to forbid Mary to come with you?"
