He moved toward me and backed me up against the shower wall.  He got down on his knees in front of me and he lifted my left leg up by my knee.  “I need to taste you,” he growled.  I watched as he leaned forward and licked at my core with a long thin tongue.  I shook with pleasure.  I was purring.  He put my right leg up on his shoulder to support my weight.  He licked at me again, eliciting the same reaction.  I heard a deep groan come from him that sounded kind of like a chuckle.  He began licking at me ferociously.  I felt his tongue enter me, evoking a deep moan from within me.  “That is it,” he rasped, “come for me.” I was almost there, then he stopped.  I heard a whine come from myself.

He sat back on his feet and pulled me down to his lap.  I felt him poke and rub at me.  I sighed.  “I want you inside me,” I whispered in his ear.  He shook.  I trembled as he entered me.  I wrapped my arms around his neck and held on as he grasped my hips.  He began moving me up and down, back and forth and from side to side.  He moved me slowly at first, then faster, where he caught a rhythm.  “Don't stop,” I moaned, arching my back.  He sped up his rhythm.  I could feel the orgasm coming.  He caught my mouth in a searing kiss, but I had to break from it to gasp for air.  “Please,” I whispered.  Then a wave of pleasure crashed into me as I fell over the precipice.  I shook with the force.  He kept going, and with each thrust, I felt myself falling farther.  He kept going, at a slower pace, until I felt him explode within me.  I heard a loud growl.  He thrust three more times to finish, then stopped.

We just sat like that for a little while, me on his lap, panting, with my arms wrapped tightly around his neck.  “Jade, are you okay,” he asked, strain in his voice.  I looked at his face.  He was back to normal, pale faced, pale haired Aris.  “That was spectacular,” I told him.  I felt him start to pulse inside me again.  He hadn't pulled out yet.  He smiled, “Are you ready to go again?” he asked, “but slower this time and in bed?”  I nodded my head yes.  “Can you get up?” he asked.  I got up off of him.  He slipped out and I felt an ache at his loss.  We washed off with soap, got out, put robes on and twisted our hair up in towels.  I noticed that I was back to normal me too.  I wished that I had gotten to look in a mirror before I changed back, to see what I looked like.  A picture flashed in my mind of a female version of what Aris had looked like.  “You were beautiful,” he whispered.

We both brushed our hair, then discarded the robes and climbed into bed.  We made love again, slowly and with the gentlest of touches and caresses.  Afterwards, I put my head on his chest, exhausted, prepared to fall asleep.  I let my hand roam.  It landed right next to my face.  I looked up into his eyes.  Noticing tears on his cheek, I asked, “Aris, what is wrong?”  “I just love you so much my heart hurts,” he told me, “I am afraid that you do not return it, or that if you do, you will stop.”  I kissed his tears away, “I do return it and I won't stop.”  He took my hand in his and brought it to his mouth, where he kissed my fingers.

“I think that I am ready to have your child,” I told him.  The exhausted in his eyes turned to light, “Are you sure?”  “I am,” I whispered, “but I am to exhausted to do it again right now.”  “Me too,” he told me, “It is okay.  What we just did was create a child.”  “Really?  How?” I asked.  “I just know,” he answered, “I felt it within you.”  “So, I am pregnant now?” I asked, confused.  “Not yet,” he answered, “I just fertilized the egg.  It will be a few days before we know if it took, or not.”  “Does this mean that I shouldn't with Ripley until we know?” I asked.  “It will be fine,” he answered, “your skin will only allow me to fertilize an egg right now.”  “Is there anything that I should or shouldn't do?” I asked.  “Just go on as normal until we know,” he answered, “eat healthy.  Eat more. Drink more water.”  “Point taken,” I groaned.

I went to put my head on his chest.  He pulled me back and gave me a kiss.  “The red and black one only comes out if you are ready for a child,” he explained to me.  “So you knew before me?” I asked.  “No,” he answered, “You knew.  You just hadn't voiced it yet.  It was a surprise to me.  I started changing in the kitchen, but you were not.  Then when I got to the bathroom you still had not changed.  I got in the cold shower thinking it was a mistake.  But then you got in with me.  When you started to change, I knew that it would be okay.”  “What did you mean when you said you would hurt me if I didn't change?” I asked.  “You are too small to accommodate me in that enlarged state,” he explained, “I would have torn you up inside.  That is if I could even get inside of you.  You stayed right there with me though, trying to make it better.  My size did not scare you.  You are so brave.  I feel so lucky.”

“I am the one who is lucky,” I told him, “I have you and Ripley, Lia and Max, the rest of the guys, the kids, and now Nathan too.  I feel like we are all family.  The family I didn't have.  And now we are going to have a baby.”  I felt a tear trickle down my cheek.  “Nothing would make me happier than to give you a child,” he whispered, a tear slipping down his cheek.  I kissed his tear, “Nothing would make me happier than to give you a child.”

“Do you want a boy or a girl?” I asked.  “It does not matter,” he told me, “I just want a healthy happy baby.  My heir can be Male or female.”  “I don't care which either,” I sat up, excited.

“Jade, you are starting to turn red again,” he was staring at my breasts.  I looked down.  I was turning cherry red.  “Oh no!  What do I do?” I started to panic.  “Just let it happen,” he answered, “It will be fine.”  I laid down on my back so that I could watch in the mirrors over the bed.  I was already red all over except for my face.  The red creeped up from my neck to my cheeks, then my mouth and nose, then my forehead.  My hair was slowly changing to black.  My tiara was visible. The stone on it glowed green along with my eyes.

When I was fully changed I put on a forest green nightgown.  “Come with me,” Aris took my hand and led me to the bathroom.  I thought that he was going to want a cold shower, but he went past the bathtub and shower and straight to the closet.  I glanced at my hand again.  It was turning sky blue.  He moved the shelves aside and put his hand on the control panel.  The door to the safe room opened and he entered.  I followed looking at a handful of my hair.  It was lavender.  “Aris,” I tried to stop him, “I have changed again.”  “Look at the monitors,” he told me, “they can not find us because the cabin is invisible right now, but they can smell you.  The only ones that can find us are Ripley and Lia.”  I looked at the monitors.  There were men milling about as if they were looking for something.  “They smell me?” I asked, “Do I stink?”  “No,” he answered, “you secrete pheromones.  You smell really, really good.”  I looked back at the monitors.  There were more coming.

“What can we do about it?” I asked, creeped out.  “I can suppress you, or I can mask the scent,” he answered, “Ripley will be here soon.  I want him to see you, so, for now, I am just going to mask your scent.”  “Okay,” I agreed.  We watched as the men outside started to leave.  We waited until they were all gone, then we went downstairs.  The doorbell chimed just as we reached the bottom.  I waited while Aris went to let Ripley in.

“Where is Jade?  What is going on?” I heard a worried Ripley.  He rushed into the room, coat part way off, worry etched into his features.  He saw me and smiled, “Jade, you look beautiful.”  I looked down at my hand.  It was the color of peaches.  I had changed again.  My hair was colored chestnut brown.  He hugged and kissed me on the forehead, “I was so worried.  I could smell you in the main cabin.  I looked outside and all of those men were looking for you.”

“I thought that you might like to see her in her shifted state.  This one is for love.  She changes colors,” Aris explained, “She was blue skin and lavender hair for me.  For you she has peach colored skin and brown hair.  I am suppressing her scent now because I wanted you to see her.  I will go back to suppressing her ability to shift now.”  My skin of my hand started turning back from peach to white.  “Jade you are beautiful no matter what color you are,” Ripley told me.

“Aris, how do I mask my own scent?” I asked.  “I will share that with you,” Aris came and took my hand, “you do it the same as if you were going to change your clothes.  Ripley and I are the only ones who see your colors.  I will continue to suppress you until after your shopping trip tomorrow.  Then you can practice masking your scent.”  “Okay,” I agreed.

“Ripley, Jade has agreed to give me a child,” Aris announced.  Ripley looked into my eyes, “Is this true?”  I nodded my head yes.  “This is wonderful,” he kissed me.  He turned and looked at Aris, “Is she already?”  “I have fertilized an egg,” Aris answered, “now we wait and see if it took.”  “So the pressure is off now,” Ripley said, “How are the cravings?”  “Much better,” Aris answered, “She said she wanted to sleep some before we make love again.”  “That is an improvement.  So her heat has probably ended,” Ripley said.  “Yes,” Aris agreed.  Ripley turned back to me, “I would still like for you to demand it from me occasionally, though.”  My cheeks burned with embarrassment.  “She demanded sex from you?” Aris asked.  “Yes,” Ripley answered, “it was such a turn on.”  I can't believe that they are talking about this.  What happened to not kissing and telling.

“So, how about that snow,” I changed the subject a little too loudly.  They both looked at me confused.  After a minute of confused looks, Ripley said, “I should probably go and let you get some sleep.  I want you well rested for tomorrow.  Shopping with Lia can be a very grueling experience.”  “Okay,” I acknowledged, cheeks still burning.  He hugged and kissed me then released me.  “We will come to the main cabin for breakfast, so that you can get an early start,” Aris told him.  “Sounds good,” Ripley said as he walked out the door.

Aris turned and walked to me.  He took my hand, “Let's go get some rest.”  I followed him up the stairs, not sure if I could sleep now.  We got in bed and I laid my head on his chest.  He took my hand in his before it reached it's destination.  I felt his other hand smoothing my hair away from my face.  He kissed the top of my head, then sighed.  I felt him relaxing.  I felt myself relaxing along with him.  Just before I closed my eyes, I saw a shadow move across the room.  I startled awake.

“Jade, what is wrong?” Aris asked.  “I just saw something,” I told him, sitting up now.  “What did you see?” he asked.  “Something moved,” I answered.  I heard a child's giggle.  “Did you hear that?” I asked him.  “Hear what?” he asked.  “A child laughing,” I whispered.

“Jade, it is nothing to fear,” he told me, “you are seeing your future child.”  “What?” I asked, confused.  “Your mother would often see and hear you before you were born,” he explained, “do not worry.  You will get used to it.”  “I don't know if I can get used to this,” I laid back down.  “Can you tell if it's a girl or a boy?” he asked.  “No,” I answered.  “You will before long,” he told me.  “I don't know if I can sleep now,” I told him.  “I will help you sleep,” he pulled me up to where I was facing him.  “Are you going to sleep?” I asked him.  “I do not know,” he answered.

“Would you like a cigarette?” I asked, “Can I even smoke?”  “Yes, to both questions,” he answered.  “It won't hurt the baby?” I asked.  “No,” he answered, sitting up.  I got up and followed him to the hot tub room.
