Chương 736: Chapter 737: Andrew’s request

"Ugh, I bet I can guess what this is about," Lorelie grumbled from the other side of the curtain.

"What's wrong?" Adam asked.

"Becky keeps trying to call me again," Lorelie replied.

"She called me almost immediately after your stream ended because Queen Riniya wanted to speak with Eytelis; however, since neither of you were back yet, I told her to try again later."

"She probably wants to question me on my kidnapping and arrange my return to Solarian Prime," Eytelis replied before taking another drop of blood.

"Just message her and say that you're busy," Stacey advised.

"This is the Solarian Queen we're talking about, Stace; you don't just message her and be like, 'Oh, I'm a bit busy right now, let me call you later," Lorelie replied.

"It would be humorous if you did, though. I wonder how she'd react?" Rowena asked in amusement.

"Probably in shock," Eytelis said with a grin.

"Then just explain to her that Eytelis is currently undergoing a medical checkup," Adam advised.

"I guess that's the best option. I mean, even the Queen would want to make sure Eytelis is fine," Lorelie replied before typing out a message to Becky.

"Besides, she'll probably be too distracted by what's happening to the great tree," Eytelis said with a smirk.

"I take it Adam's blood is affecting it?" Rowena asked.

"Indeed, even more buds are starting to appear all over the great tree's branches," Eytelis answered. As Adam listened to Eytelis' answer, he received a message on his uniband, which he had trouble reading since one of his arms was strapped down.

"Err, Stace, a little help," Adam requested.

"No probs," Stacey said happily.

"Is something wrong?" Lorelie asked as she peeked around the curtain.

"No, I just got a message, but I need some help viewing it," Adam replied.

"Why didn't you just use the voice command function, silly?" Lorelie asked with a smile.

"That's a thing?" Adam asked in surprise. This time, it was Lorelie's turn to be surprised as she asked, "You didn't know?"

"I had no idea, but then again, whenever I needed something done, I usually just asked Spector," Adam replied.

"So why did you ask Spector this time?" Lorelie asked, but then noticed the way Stacey was leaning over to help him.

"Oh, I see, carry on," She added before disappearing behind the curtain again.

"Pervert," Stacey muttered as she shot Adam a flirtatious smile before opening the message. [MercheadAnderson: Hey! When are you going to call me already? I mentioned it two streams ago.]"Oh shit, I forgot that Andrew asked me to call him after a previous stream," Adam suddenly recalled.

"So give him a call," Rowena suggested.

"I guess I'm not exactly rushed off my feet, am I?" Adam replied.

"Allow me, babe," Stacey offered as she once more leaned over to help.

"Thanks, babe," Adam replied as he once more admired her cleavage that was right in front of his eyes. The call connected almost immediately, with Andrew appearing on a holographic screen above Adam's uniband.

"About time, I…" Andrew began before stopping partway and asking.

"Are you in a medical bed? Are you ok?" A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.

"Fine, fine, just some routine medical checks my ship's AI wanted to run on me to make sure I'm still faring well after leaving Earth," Adam lied dismissively.

"So what's up?"

"If you say so," Andrew replied before broaching the main reason he wanted to talk.

"So I need your help with something."

"Not sure I can help since I'm no longer in the Sandanar Galaxy, but what's up?" Adam asked. Andrew smirked in response before saying, "Well, that's not really an issue for you, is it?"

"Haha, I guess not," Adam replied after laughing.

"So err, yeah," Andrew replied while rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly.

"Hmm?" Adam asked quizzically as he saw his awkwardness.

"There's no easy way to ask, so I'm just going to come out and say it," Andrew said before taking a breath.

"Lizzie wants you to join us in the bedroom in the future."

"Excuse me?" Adam asked in surprise while Stacey and Rowena, whom Andrew couldn't see, wore similar expressions, as did Lorelie as she stuck her head around the curtain once again.

"Yeah, this is as awkward as I was expecting it to be," Andrew said before laughing nervously.

"Then why even ask?" Adam shot back.

"It's something Lizzie wants since apparently sex with Frank is getting stale," Andrew replied.

"Lizzie's fucking Frank?" Adam asked in disbelief.

"And you're ok with that?"

"We have a… special relationship," Andrew replied as understanding filled Lorelie's eyes as she remembered what Liluth had told her.

"What, like a threesome or some shit?" Adam asked.

"More like… what's that Earth term they used in the chat before?" Andrew asked thoughtfully.

"Oh, right, it's more like cuckolding."

"Seriously?" Adam asked as his surprise increased.

"Ok, sure. I never expected you to be into watching your wife with other men."

"Haha, we all have our fetishes," Andrew replied after laughing nervously. Adam nodded before asking, "So, just to confirm, I understand you. What you're asking is that I have sex with Lizzie while you watch?"

"Basically, though I'm sure exceptions can be made for your girlfriends to watch or even join in," Andrew replied. Adam frowned before saying, "Sorry, but unlike you, I'm not into letting other men see my girlfriends naked." Stacey, Lorelie and Rowena all smiled upon hearing his possessive response, while Lorelie even glanced back at Eytelis, who had been listening in, with a wink.

"Sorry, my bad, I didn't mean it that way," Andrew replied as he quickly apologised.

"As long as you understand," Adam replied before sighing.

"So what do you think?" Andrew asked.

"I'm gonna have to decline," Adam responded instantaneously before adding.

"Even if I were interested in doing this, I wouldn't cheat on my girlfriends. The only way I would agree would be if all three of them gave their approval, and even then, there would have to be a special reason, like as a form of revenge or something." They had all expected to see Andrew's disappointment at Adam's refusal; however, instead, what they saw was a look of excitement as he asked, "So what you mean is that as long as Lizzie can persuade your girlfriends, you'll do it?"

"What?" Adam asked in surprise.

"Where the fu…" However, Andrew didn't seem to be listening and interrupted, "Great, I will let Lizzie know. Thanks, Adam." As he finished speaking, Andrew ended the call, leaving the med bay in a stunned state of silence. Eventually, the silence was broken by Rowena's raucous laughter before she said, teary-eyed, "Well, that was something?"

"Like fuck it was," Stacey retorted. Adam looked up at the girls before asking in a bewildered tone, "What the fuck just happened?" Galamedees Galaxy, Solarian Prime.

"What the fuck is going on with the great tree?" Queen Riniya cursed in a form that was far out of character for her. The three Terrans and four Solarian women stared at the large holographic screen in shock as it showed the great tree. However, instead of the bare branches it would normally have at this time of year, the great tree's branches were covered in buds that appeared to be on the verge of flowering.

"Can someone please tell me why the great tree is suddenly on the verge of flowering in the middle of winter?" Riniya asked. Liluth gently placed a hand on Riniya's arm before saying calmly, "Mother, calm yourself."

"You're right, you're right," Riniya said before taking a deep, calming breath.

"Forgive my loss of composure, Princess Tessa."

"It's perfectly understandable," Tessa said with a smile.

"I'm sure Mother would react in a similar fashion if such a strange event occurred on Terran Five."

"That's polite of you to say, but we both know that's not entirely accurate," Riniya replied.

"We Solarians are much more in tune with nature than yourselves and many of the other races."

"Perhaps, but do you honestly have no idea what's causing this?" Tessa asked.

"None," Riniya replied.

"Something like this has never happened before."

"It's probably Adam's doing," Becky interjected while pouting.

"Oh, please," Andria replied while rolling her eyes.

"Just because you have the hots for him doesn't mean you can go around thinking everything amazing that happens is his fault."

"Pardon?" Riniya asked.

"You believe Adam is responsible for this?" Tessa sighed before saying, "Don't mind her, Your Majesty; my cousin's just jealous that Eytelis gets to travel on Adam's ship."

"I am not," Becky retorted.

"Oh, really?" Tessa asked.

"Then why don't you explain your reasoning to the class?" Becky coughed slightly before looking away while adding, "It's not something appropriate to discuss in front of royalty."

"Oh, and what am I then if not royalty?" Tessa asked.

"You know that's not what I mean," Becky replied.

"Please go ahead and explain, Lieutenant Starlover," Riniya said politely while Liluth tried to hold back a smirk.

"I'm keen to hear any possible explanations for this." Becky shuffled slightly before saying in a low voice, "I was just thinking that it could be because she had taken in Adam's bodily fluids."
