Ninovan (Hypernaturals 10)

Stay Here

I have always known there was going to come a day when I was going to have the tables turned. Where another man would enter my relationship at some level. I recently thought it was going to be DeWayne, Morgan's ex-lover. He and his fiancé are close to our family, and Carol has made no secret about not being averse to joining our Polycule.

I don't know DeWayne that well yet, but I could deal with that. I like him. He was Morgan's lover for a long time, and it is hard to find a higher recommendation than that.

I do not like Alexander, and that was before he found a way into Jessica's sexual graces. They say a guy should just keep asking women for sex because eventually one of them will say 'yes'. I always thought that would take a massive ego to do that, and Alexander did not prove me wrong. He kept after my group until he got a hit. His ego is unsurpassed.

I am in the town that time forgot. A free-love hippy commune that has been going on for millennia before the hippies in the 1960s made it cool. Populated by a group of people that are a mix of human, Siren, and Vampire.

I should love this place. It is every open-minded thing I aspire to. Not only that, but it seems likely my fertility as a Vampire is not in any way unique. What if an ancestor of mine came from long ago here? Generations and generations ago. Maybe Alexander's father is my long lost many greats grandfather?

I learned here that I am not a mutant. Only a lost tribal member, it seems. Perhaps. Who knows how the genes flowed? They had ten millennia to do so. I don't even know if they came via the vampiriophage or to my baseline DNA. I don't have to be from here in any way. Fertile males may be as old as time. But I might be. Some part of me. My ethos aligns with here, right up until Jessica folded it into corners and shoved it up my ass.

As teachable moments go, this one is a nightmare.

After that disaster in the community center, we Vampires ran back to the truck. I needed the run and wished we had parked it much farther away.

Despite my issue with the place now, its existence and its learnings need to be shared. We drove up into Cell phone signal range and called Helen. We told her what we found, each taking turns relating things. Stunned amazement is too mild a phrase for her response.

"You are bloody shitting me." was Helen's first response to the news.

At the end of the report, Jessica said to her wife, "We are going back in to spend the night and learn more."

"Of course. I'll let Victoria know about this. This is mind-boggling. There must be so much more to learn!"

Helen is genuinely excited. I see the larger picture. What Alexanders' existence means. What cross-species fertile implies.

Jessica had the grace to look a little embarrassed when Helen mentioned 'learning' since the learning is also going the other way and she is going to be teaching the fertile asshole.

"You might say that." Jessica replied.

She did not mention she is "Going Native" and so neither did Morgan or I.

We talked for a long time with the girls. Promised we are almost done here, that we solved Mommy Angel's mystery, and are headed home soon.

I think it's us that will leave. Angel and Vera have reasons to stay. Does Jessica? Jessica used to be attracted to a different kind of man than I am. It's hard to believe Alexander is that type though. Pretty he is. Self-confident. Yes. Macho? I do not see it.

Fuck.

Nakoma held on to the call for the last.

"Dad? Mom found out what happened? Really?" Nakoma asked. Gods, I am happy to be able to focus on my daughter.
