All That Glitters Ch. 37

Junelliya bowed to the conductor and took her seat as the orchestra began to play many pieces of classical music, including Vivaldi's Four Seasons, Mozart's the Magic Flute, Beethoven's Fifth, and other pieces.

Finally, the great organ opened its lungs and began to play, the first three notes of Johanne Sebastian Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor rang through the great cathedral shocking the members of the Interspecies Community with its power. The musical piece rang out for a full nine minutes mesmerizing the Interspecies members as they sat in wonder, listening and feeling the music reverberate around and through them. At the end, they all stood and applauded with the remainder of the audience.

Junelliya stepped forward and bowed to the conductor of L'orchestre philharmonique de Paris, and to the organist for his masterful playing of the Toccata and Fugue.

"Please remain where your are as the dignitaries file out," she asked of the audience, bowing her head to the Kumar-Pair, who were lead out of the church by their Kumir-Rai/Ro, followed in reverse alphabetical order by the remainder of the Interspecies Community, and finally by Fayad, Junelliya, and her students to thunderous and continuous applause throughout the departure from the standing audience.

Outside, they were accosted by a sea of news reporters, the various ambassadors wading in to give interview after interview before everyone finally entered their shuttles for the return to Denders Resort. They left Paris at midnight and arrived at 18:00 hours at Denders, after a one hour sub-orbital flight, just in time for the evening meal.

The Beach, Denders Resort, Terra

Junelliya and Hanalei were taking a late night stroll along the beach, enjoying the relative coolness of the night air, when they spotted something odd a little further down the beach from them.

They moved toward two Byandi, standing on the beach near one of the airconditioned tents, giving out something to other Byandi, who then entered the tent.

Junelliya recognized Meela.

"High, Meela, late night subterfuge?" Hanalei asked.

"Hello, Hanalei, Junelliya. This is Doctor Marla," Meela replied, identifying the person with her.

"Is that Yogurt covered candy, Meela?" Junelliya asked, identifying the bag of white treats, giving Meela a significant look.

"Nuts actually, but yes, we are conducting an experiment," Meela answered. "We did not know how to get your yogurt to our home space, and then one of our people found these in a shop at the resort."

"These are much easier to transport than the yogurt cups. They do not require refrigeration and they seem to be just as effective," Marla stated.

"Seem to be?" Junelliya asked.

"That is what we are assessing. The yogurt covering is not consistent, so we need to find a company that can make it so I think. This study is to determine the effectiveness and reactions to the different consistency of the coatings," Meela told them.

Junelliya peaked inside the tent and saw a dozen or so Byandi couples laying around, each getting frisky as the yogurt took hold. She giggled to herself.

"We'll leave you to your 'study' then," Hanalei informed them as the moved away from the group.

"I need our husband," Hanalei whispered to Junelliya, as they started to walk away.

"I heard that," Meela called out from where she was standing, causing the ladies to giggle as they strolled on.

Piscium Villa, Denders Resort, Terra

The ladies found Fayad sitting on the couch, throwing treats into the air for the Cats. They slid onto the couch on either side of him, while the three Cats made a sound that Fayad had heard before. He was trying to remember what that particular sound meant when he felt Hanalei's hand on his upper thigh, gently rubbing it and sliding inwards toward his now attentive cock.

Oh, yeah, that's what the sound meant. He thought with a smile as Hanalei gave him a sweet kiss. He had attributed the sound to mean 'mama's horny', as the Cats only made it when one or more of his wives decided they wanted to play.

"Something happen out there that got your motor running?" Fayad asked.

"Meela was conducting experiments with yogurt," Junelliya told him. "We didn't see much, but we could hear the Byandi getting frisky. That made Hanalei realize it had been some time since she has played with you."

"It has been awhile since we have played, too," Fayad said to Junelliya, giving her a tender kiss of her own.

"Yes, but it has been less than a month since the baby was born. I am still not ready for sex, though I am more than happy to help out," she said with a tender smile as she touched her husband`s cheek.

"Why don't we go look at that rather large bed?" Hanalei asked, taking her husband's hand and pulling him to the fixture in question.

She tugged the threesome into the bedroom while the Cats gave out their distinctive 'goodnight' call, getting giggles from the ladies. The Cats always knew when their human partners needed alone time and never begrudged them this need.

Junelliya pulled Fayad's t-shirt up and over his head while Hanalei pulled his board shorts down. That left him in only his sandals, which he flipped off before laying on the bed.

Fayad reached out and pulled the string of Hanalei's bikini top from around her neck, he then pulled the string in the middle of her back and her breasts came into view. As both she and Junelliya had been taking advantage of the more open atmosphere here, both of their breasts were sun kissed and beginning to earn a proper tan.

Fayad began to rub one of her breasts while he suckled on the other, getting a taste of her milk. Junelliya pulled the strings on her own bikini but dipped down to take Fayad's growing tumescence into her mouth, making sure he was ready for Hanalei. It didn't take long for him to become rock hard.

"I see what you mean by helping," Fayad murmured to Junelliya, getting a giggle from Hanalei.

"Oh, shush," Hanalei said with a grin. "She's doing what she can."

"And very ably, too," Fayad admitted, happily, getting more giggles from his wives.

Junelliya reached over and pulled the strings on the left side of Hanalei's bikini bottom. Seeing the movement, Fayad pulled the strings on the right side. The bottoms fell away and Fayad's fingers found her sex, toying with her in a way he had learned would get her wet fast.

Now, only Junelliya had her bikini bottoms on but she didn't intend to participate much this night. A touch to her nether regions had confirmed that she was still not ready for sex yet.

Already heated up by the events, with Fayad fondling one breast, sucking on another, and his fingers working her nether regions, it wasn't long before Hanalei was more then ready for her husband.

Junelliya rolled her over onto Fayad, then reached beneath her to find and hold onto Fayad`s manhood, pointing it upward for Hanalei to descend upon. Junelliya watched, fascinated, as the large head breached Hanalei's sex and slid gently into it.

Hanalei moaned as the familiar feel of Fayad's cock penetrated her, and groaned again as he gently pumped his hips, forcing his cock deeper and deeper into her welcoming body.

Junelliya slid down and licked at Fayad's balls as he moved ever further into Hanalei. The sounds Hanalei was making were becoming increasingly strained as they moved together in the age old actions of men and women in lust.

Already primed from the events of the evening, Hanalei didn't last long. Her overwhelming orgasm, was expectantly early, causing her to rear up and throw her head back, almost crushing Junelliya's head with her ass.

Junelliya slipped out from under her mate and grabbed her from behind, slipping her hands over Hanalei's breasts, squeezing and kneading them, pulling on her nipples, as Hanalei's orgasm raged through her body. Trying not to wake the babies, Hanalei strangled her orgasmic cry, or at least attempted to, as a lot of the sound got out anyway.

Already primed by Junelliya's blowjob and with Hanalei's pussy gripping his cock, Fayad could not hold out and he came not long after Hanalei, his frothy batter shooting deep inside his wife, causing her orgasm to extend even longer as she felt his warm load being deposited inside her.

After a time, Hanalei collapsed to the side, bringing Junelliya with her. Fayad winced as his cock was wrenched sideways until it was suddenly pulled free of Hanalei's body, swiftly deflating as his spent seed slowly leaking from inside his wife.

The three of them fell asleep like that to be wakened later that night to the sounds of the babies cries. Though they were a little embarrassed as they rose to tend to the little ones, there were no regrets from their earlier play...

Plaza del Sol, Denders Resort, Terra

War Dragon, Minister Kloä> was once again passing the Plaza the following morning, this time, he not only had his four staff members with him, he also had his eldest male offspring, Guro<.

Kloä> noted that there were more participants exercising in the plaza this morning. That brought a smile to him, the fact that she had bested an Asocan had obviously gotten around.

He moved around until he was near to where Kim was instructing and waited patiently to be noted, bowing to Kim when she acknowledged him.

"Fierce Warrior Kim, this is my eldest, named Guro<. He is, unfortunately, a lazy male. I would like to have him train with you while we are here, if you would do so," Kloä> explained.

"Patriarch, why would you insult me like this, passing me off to mere humans for martial training?" the sullen male demanded.

"Do you see the two fresh scars on my face, 'Gurg'? (a young Asocan with more zeal than brains)" Kloä> snarled at him. "Who do you think put them there?"

Guro< turned a look of confusion on the tiny female, then gave his patriarch a look of disdain at having been bested by such a creature.

"Show him," Kloä> said to Kim, bowing to her.

Kim took two combat sticks from one of her students and threw them at Guro<, picking up another pair and facing him. Guro< gave out a roar and rushed at Kim, only to have his initial attack blocked and then to have his blocks struck hard by several impacts from Kim's sticks.

The young male tried to block her attacks but he felt each impact of her sticks on his from his hands all the way up his arms. Guro< was amazed at the power such a tiny creature could project.

Worse, was her speed. Asocan were not slow in combat, however, this human's speed was much faster than he could anticipate. In mere moments, he was disarmed and thrown to the ground, the human sitting on his chest, the crossed sticks forming an X around his throat. Had these combat sticks been blades, he would now be dead.

A shadow loomed over him and Guro< looked up into the angry eyes of his patriarch.

"Had you observed before you said anything, you might not be in such an embarrassing position now, Gurg," Kloä> stated. "I suggest you use your time with this 'female' to improve both your observation skills and your martial techniques."

Kim had retrieved her swords while this discussion was taking place.

"Look there on the right hip of this female," Kloä> instructed of Guro<. "That is the blade she used on me to give me one of the new scars on my face."

Kim drew her Tanto from it's Saya and, holding it in the approved manner, flicked her finger against the blade, causing it to 'sing' it's unique sound. Guro<'s mouth fell open when he heard the sound of the metal. Guro< was thinking of apprenticing with the metalsmith guild, so when he saw and heard the blade he was entranced.

He watched as Kim replaced the blade, her method was unusual, precise, clean, and swift. His patriarch was correct, he should have observed this female first, he could tell with the practiced moves she made that she was an accomplished blade user.

Kim stepped back two paces, then drew her Katana and made three swift strikes, one vertically as she drew the blade, one vertically in the reverse direction, but on an angle, and one horizontally, all so fast that the blade was nothing but a blur. Guro< heard the rip of the blade through the air, the hiss of certain death. His opinion of the female went up many times on seeing her using her swords.

Kim held the blade as she had the Tanto and made the blade sing. Guro< was hooked. She held the blade in both hands, showing it to the Asocan. Her eyes were fixed on the young male. Kim was certain he knew blades and metal.

Guro< was transfixed by the blade. It was an exquisite work or art, functional death in a beautiful form. He had never seen anything it's like before.

"The creator of these swords is one Tatsuya Hajime, Master bladesmith and weapons maker who uses a blend of traditional and modern techniques to make theses blades," Kim told him. "His workshop is in the Capital.

"If, and that is a big IF, you show me that you are diligent, and worthy of my trust in you, through you dedication to your instructions this week, I will arrange to take you to see his shop. That means, however, that you work hard, don't complain, and excel at everything that I throw at you.

"Do we have a deal?" Kim asked.

Like the Pod-Drran, the Asocan used a circular motion of their head to indicate 'yes' as opposed to the nodding motion that human's used. Guro< circled his head so fast, it would have popped off his neck had it been less securely attached!

Kloä> rumbled his laugh, grinning openly at his child's antics. This female knew how best to cover the gauntlet with the fur mitten! (Akin to the human use of the carrot and stick method). He had no doubt that she would get the best of the stubborn Guro<.

Denders Conference Room Gold, Denders Resort, Terra

Fiona Marsh, the Interspecies ambassadors, Kad-Hal Kumir-Sai-Rai, the head of the Kumir-Rai, Daniel Logan, head of security for the President of the Union, Juanita Invierno of the UDC, Carolynn Justine of the IPPF, Cynthia Stewart of IPNS, the four Union Ambassadors Michelle Halten, Millenia Lapotnikov, Charles Demoiné, Michael Renders, Sylvie Triand of Denders Resort, Hanalei, Fayad, Junelliya, Vangeliya, Mind-Ur, Raymond, and Liea were all in the Gold Conference Room for the morning brief on Monday.

"As the first group to have made contact with the Union, the Pod-Drran will be the first Ambassadors to present their credentials this afternoon at 14:00 hours. This will be a little bit over the top as all of the senior delegates and ambassadors of the other species have requested to be present for this historical event. We also have the Kumar-Pair and their contingent to deal with for both the move to and from the Capital and for security.

"Incidentally, the President has waved the restriction of weapons for the Warrior Class of the Pod-Drran, however, Presidential Security has requested a Peace Bond on all of the Kaldar. This would be a wire that can be broken but not easily," Juanita informed them, giving Mr. Logan a significant look.

"This will not be necessary," Nar-Tre stated formally. "The Kumar-Pair have indicated that no Kaldar is to be drawn by any but the Kumir-Rai/Ro who will make a ceremonial salute to the Kumar-Pair and the President of the Union. Any others who draw their Kaldar will be summarily executed."

"Ah, yes...I see. I will then wave the requirements for the Peace Bond for the Pod-Drran," Logan informed them, surprised by the vehemence in the voice of Nar-Tre and the level of threat to the Pod-Drran who would draw their Kaldar.

"As well as the delegates and witnesses," Juanita continued, "Raymond, Liea, Fayad, Hanalei, Junelliya, the members of the House of Ur, Kome-Nar and Nar-Tre, and our Ambassadors Michelle Halten, Millenia Lapotnikov, Charles Demoiné, Michael Renders, have been specifically requested by the President.

"I am to inform you that all of you named shall receive the Presidential Gold Medal for your work in bringing the Pod-Drran and the Union together, with the exception of Hanalei," Juanita informed them, gaining surprised looks from all the named persons.

"Hanalei Anar will receive the Presidential Gold Medal for Distinguished Service to the Terran Union for her personal capture of one of the senior members of a pirate syndicate and for her work in bringing down the criminal Wassim Andjuran," Juanita explained.

"Mr. Logan?" Juanita turned the brief over to the President's Head of Security.

"Thank-you, Juanita. We will begin moving the delegates to the capital starting at noon. The Kumar-Pair and their security entourage will be moved at 12:45, arriving at 13:30, as the President would like to speak personally with the Kumar-Pair and the Pod-Drran ambassadors prior to the presentation ceremony.

"Immediately after the Presentation of Credentials, will be the investiture of those receiving the Presidential Gold Medal. Then there will be an informal question and answer period with reporters before the VIP's are invited to speak together at an informal get together. We will begin returning the delegates at 16:00 hours.

"Any questions?" he asked. There were none, so he turned the floor back to Juanita.

Juanita called up the shuttle schedule and advised the members present to ensure that their entourage would be ready and on time at the resort's collection point for the brief trip to the shuttle point. Sylvie Triand would be responsible for getting all to the shuttles and back to Denders afterward.

All the delegates were again advised to not be late for their respective timings as that would only backlog things. Juanita then gave the floor over to Sylvie Triand, who confirmed the timings at the Denders collection point.

"Denders is pleased so far with the Interspecies guests at our resort. They have not caused too many issues and have, overall, behaved themselves, or at least not exceeded the expectations of wild behavior that we would see from humans being at a resort for the first time," she stated, getting laughter from all present.

"We were surprised at the number of children brought for this occasion and had to hire many nannies and child-care workers for our daycare, which the children seem to love, as it is so different from anything they have ever been involved with before.

"One of the big concerns right now is the Byandi going out into the ocean. I know that the Byandi are excellent swimmers, however, the area of control for Denders ends with the channel islands seventeen kilometers offshore, I would ask that the members of the Byandi do not go further than those islands or they could run afoul of fishing boats and other hazards out there that would not be good for the health concerns of the Byandi. I would not want to report the accidental death of anyone at this resort and especially not those of the Interspecies Community, so please stay to the resort side of the islands.

"The Byandi have asked about taking fresh fish and shellfish from the ocean. Denders does have fishing rights in the waters between us and the channel islands, but not for the mass numbers of the Byandi. However, you may take all the shellfish you find in the shallow waters as they are not commercially fished between here and the islands. We ask, however, that if you eat the shellfish raw, you not leave the discarded shells where other bathers could accidentally step on them.

"One other item of note, several members of the Interspecies Community have already received minor injuries. Our clinic is not set up to receive any non-human clients, however, Raymond has set up several medical tents near the beach. Look for the tents with a large red cross in a white circle. Your medical people will be given a place within the tents to function as a clinic. As well, if there is a need for hospitalization for the interspecies clients, additional tents can be set up as required. Clients will enter from the south side and be seen by their respective medical representatives as required.
