“Clearly I shouldn’t have done that. It was way too early for me to have done that. It really felt good at the time, and it still feels good inside... but... Perhaps I shouldn’t have acted like that.”

“You feel guilty? Trust me, Alex, there is really nothing to be guilty about. It was... well, I can’t find words for it, except really, really, really good.”

“You two. Back to sleep.”

“Yes, Miss Kylie...”

“Yes, Miss Kylie.”

“Oh god, he is insufferable. Is he always like this afterwards?”

“No... But he never has done something like that.”

“He hasn’t?”

“Nope. When I saw his erection for the second time, we all were very surprised.”

“He must have felt extremely... pent-up, nervous, stressed, aroused, all of them? I don’t know.”

“Perhaps all the conversations about sex triggered him?”

“Or the stress of adapting to all the changes at once?”

“Or both?”

“Look, I am at loss for explanations just as you are. All I know is that he wasn’t his usual self. He has spent a ton of energy in a short amount of time...”

“Not that short... I came several times watching it...”

“... in a relative short amount of time, burning him out completely, leaving him sweating, steaming even, and for that time he was shivering like hell. Kate was almost completely outspent by him. She orgasmed multiple times before he finally climaxed.”

“So did I. Could he...?”

“No, Sophia, you can’t expect him to do that again. Look at him. He’s still on the edge of sleep, awake and in pure bliss. Last time he was like that, I remember before we intervened he was extremely stressed, others were complaining about him, he accepted our help, and afterwards he was in a bliss for almost a day.”

“A day?”

“Yes, Sophia. A day. I thought Kate had overdone it, but she hadn’t. Probably it has something to do with his stress levels at the moment.”

“He builds it up.”

“Yes. For various reasons I think. Worrying about our safety, thinking he is not good enough, thinking he might have forgotten something that might kill us in the end. Always preparing and building in contingencies. He is very analytic in his mind. He is very empathic. And he is very smart. All three combined makes him like...”

“Oh... like that guy of prison break, trying to free his brother out of maximum security. But ended up freeing a lot of people, falling in love with the prison doctor, and so on...”

“Hmm... perhaps exactly like that. As I remember that character couldn’t stand injustice, other people suffering and when the circumstances **** him to act, he planned everything very, very carefully...”

“But Alex hasn’t always done everything according to his preparations. In my case, he simply whisked me away from my section, gave me my name, on pure instinct. And in your case...”

“Yes, and in Kate’s brother’s case, he didn’t even know he had saved him until after. He simply pushed a stranger out of the lane of strafing bullets.”

“A bit **** of him. Sounds like he doesn’t care if he lives or dies, as long as he has done everything in his might to save someone in need.”

“Yes... I worry sometimes about that. He acts sometimes so fast that he might end up killing himself.”

“Perhaps... He wants to prevent those impulses now?”

“How so?”

“Him knowing we love him so much, he tries preventing all possible dangers before they arrive. So he wouldn’t need to act on reflex.”

“Which makes him worry a lot more than before...”

“Which makes his stress levels higher and faster than before. And since he doesn’t want his stress to have an effect on us...”

“He can’t express it. And in his mind he needs to continue searching for better protection, so his mind keeps working at the same level.”

“Like a boiling kettle.”

“But during the war, he wasn’t like that. Okay, sure, the steam escaped a few times and we... eh solved it fairly easy. So how is it that now, he simply placed all his stress into one sexual release?”

“Perhaps he has a problem with being here as well?”

“No... he told me he can perfectly withstand being **** to stay in one location.”

“Wait... No... I think being locked up has an effect on him... I just can’t lay my finger on it. But perhaps it has something to do with him giving away his love so freely. More like a release. That instead of him needing sex, he likes giving his love away. And now... that we are here... He can’t give more of his love away freely to others, so instead he gets... really, really pent-up with stress, but since he can’t release through love, he needs the usual way.”

“You lost me, Kara.”

“Me too, Kara.”

“Okay, think of Alex as a machine.”

“He certainly acted like one a few hours ago...”

“Please, hear me out.”

“Sorry.”

“So... Alex is a machine. A machine that creates love. In tiny neat packages. Let’s name them Love Boxes. The Alex machine has a conveyor belt that delivers those love boxes to anyone needing those. On that same machine there are two exhaust pipes. One with heat. One with stress. The heat goes back into the machine to make the love boxes. The stress goes to... either the heat pipe or to the machine to make better packages. But when the conveyor belt stops turning... The machine produces more boxes that are kept in the machine. The machine overheats. And overstresses. The stress goes into the machine as usual, but is returned back to the exhaust in one loop. The stress also goes to the heat pipe, fueling the machine even further. And so on. So the machine gets hotter and hotter. The only safety measure left is a third exhaust pipe leading to sex, releasing the heat in one fell swoop.”

“Oh god, Kara, you lost me with the overheating part.”

“Me even before that.”

“I couldn’t help listening... but she might be on to something. Every human wants to do two things: to love and to fuck. If we can’t, we do something else. If we can’t even do something else, we want to love more or fuck more. But since we are all here... He can’t go out. He can’t give his love away to more people. His morals stop him from giving his love to the rest of us. So if he can’t love more, if he can’t do anything else, he will want to fuck more. But since more sex isn’t in his vocabulary he fucks only once, giving everything he’s got in that one fuck.”

“Now, that I can understand. Thank you, Ella.”

“So... eh... how are we going to prevent him from doing that again?”

“Perhaps.. we shouldn’t?”

“No, Sophia. I thought he was going into cardiac arrest. He’s not used to this. He needs to level up more slowly.”

“Can’t we just tell him? Just for this period we are here.”

“That as soon as he feels stress, he needs to ask for a blowjob?”

“Not stress, but in heat.”

“His heat levels just exploded.”

“Perhaps this time. But the stress will lead to heat. And we have the same problem. More than him.”

“A lot more.”

“And since we can predict it now...”

“And since he will feel it now...”

“So, as soon as he feels stiffening up then?”

“Might be possible.”

“But will he ask for it? We can’t simply put him naked here, see if gets a stiff one, then tell him to get release.”

“Hmm... him naked all the time... here...”

“Stop it, Sophia, we are trying to get a conversation here.”

“And if we induce it?”

“By happy accident? All the time?”

“No, no... But like you said, he exploded. He had to adapt to way too many different things at the same time. Stress went through the roof. All into his sex drive.”

“You want to keep him horny, but at lower levels.”

“Yes. Spread over the different periods of the day. Not like yesterday evening in one go.”

“Ah... and then, if he feels in the mood all the time, it will build up.”

“For a few times a day.”

“To then ask us for release.”

“He happy, we happy.”

“But will he go along with it?”

“He will have to. I don’t want see him like this anymore. I was worried sick at the moment of his release. Kylie jumped on him like he was almost dead. You even froze.”

“I didn’t, I was still too exhausted. It was a long day for me too. And when he came asking for that blowjob, then lying down next to him, feeling him, pushing my pelvis on his leg...”

“Alright, alright, I get it... Fuck... Getting in the mood again. And the sad thing is... this is no way to set up a night of romance. Not for him, not for me.”

“Drop the blanket rule and just wait for it.. Perhaps it will be the first time you have vaginal sex with him in the romantic setting, but nothing should stop you from giving him a throat-job, if he knew he could ask. In return, he might give you a session with his magic fingers.”

“Or his magic tongue I heard so much about...”

“Ella... I am so sorry for you...”

“You’re sorry for me? How about Ambra?”

“Oh god, Ambra... She...”

“She has never loved a man before. And now she has fallen for the one man, so ethical, that he can’t bring himself to even look at her stunning body, being afraid to hurt her by making her into a lust object.”

“She certainly has restored quite well.”

“And she has an incredible mind.”

“And extremely protective towards Alex.”

“Knows remarkably well how to restrain herself not to hurt Alex.”

“Which is the reason I am here. Her pain-arousal levels are through the roof now. But she knew she couldn’t approach Alex in her state, so she sent me, to check up on him.”

“Right, then... at least tell her we have come up with a decision and will solve this soon.”
