Chapter 4: The Decision

---

Contains a bit of scat, M/F

Liana had brought Jake to a quiet place near the mountains, out of town. She had said that explaining the Joining to an alien was not easy, and she wanted to be in a place away from the others for that.

"Have you heard of anglerfish?" Liana asked, after they found a place to sit down.

"Huh?"

"I have studied the data files you brought, there is a species called anglerfish on your home world."

Jake thought for a second and said: "Ah yes, I think I learned about them in a biology lesson years ago."

"Your data files describe the 'unusual' way anglerfish reproduce," Liana continued, saying 'unusual' in a way as if she disagreed with it. "Anglerfish males are much smaller than females, they actually attach to females like parasites and then they can reproduce. Anglerfish are an interesting species, because the Kbraxi reproduce in a somewhat similar way."

This wasn't anything like Jake had expected. He replied: "Wait, but don't parasitic anglerfish males dissolve until nothing but their sperm-producing organs remain? So they basically become brain-dead?"

Liana said: "Don't worry, love! I said 'somewhat similar'. Kbraxi aren't your brainless anglerfish. If we Join, we will become one physical body. But your consciousness will certainly live on - just much closer to me than you could possibly imagine, even knowing what you know now."

Jake looked doubtful. He wanted to stay with her for the rest of his life - but losing his body? Was that worth it? And how did he know Liana was telling the truth about him living on. He looked at her and said: "... I need some time to think about this."

Liana nodded. "I understand. It's okay."

Jake got up and started walking. He had a difficult decision to make. How could he know what the right choice was? At least he now understood why Liana didn't want to tell him about Joining before. To a Federation citizen, it would sound horrible to lose your freedom like that. He wasn't ready to hear about it. But now... he'd been away from the Federation for so long. And he loved Liana more than anyone he'd met before. He did want to stay with her... and if Joining was the only way to make that happen, maybe he had to do it. Besides, there must be a reason she trained him to eat her shit. Hi figured that whatever would happen during this 'Joining', he'd probably enjoy it a lot.

Jake also knew that while Liana had kept certain things about her species secret from him, she'd never actually lie to him. He had no reason to think she'd lie about this. She loved him as much as he loved her, Jake was sure of that.

And with that sorted out, he walked back to the place where Liana was sitting and told her he wanted to Join with her.

Of course Liana was happy to hear that, and to celebrate, they fucked right then and there, under the mountains and the clear sky.

They didn't have a good way to clean up out there, so Liana thoughtfully offered Jake only her piss and he happily drank it.

Compared to the horny, heavy, bitter taste of her shit, her piss tasted light and pure. It reminded Jake of how he first expressed his love for Liana.

On the way back to the village, Liana told Jake about the traditional way Kbraxi males announced they wished to Join with a female. It made Jake quite nervous, but he promised her he would do it.

In the village, Liana said: "I need to go see the doctor, I need to arrange some things for our Joining." And with that, she walked off to the medical building.

By the time she returned, it was getting dark and the Kbraxi village party was starting. Liana set the music system to a dancing track, and before long, she, Jake, and quite a few other Kbraxi were dancing away.

During a particularly danceworthy track, Liana whispered in Jake's ear: "Ready?"

Jake nodded nervously.

At the end of the track, Liana muted the music system with a voice command, and asked for everyone's attention. She put a chair in the middle of the dance floor and sat down on it.

Jake came over, sat down on Liana's lap, and closed his eyes. Now for the hardest part, he thought. Jake grunted a bit, and started pushing. His asshole slowly opened up, and he started pushing out a log of his own, right into the seat of his pants.

Liana put her legs apart a bit, giving him a bit more space. Jake was acutely aware of all the Kbraxi around him staring at him and Liana. But, with the extra space she created he managed to push out some more, and suddenly a load of soft shit flooded his pants.

Jake opened his eyes, and looked at the crowd who had gathered around them. He saw that the Kbraxi women closest to him were starting to notice the smell of his shit.

They started talking to one another: "He isn't?" "No, he can't be" "Really?"

At that point, he got off Liana's lap, got down on one knee, facing her (and giving the Kbraxi behind him a perfect view of the bulge in his pants), and said out loud: "Dear Liana, may I Join you?".

Before Liana could answer, the other Kbraxi started talking loudly: "This is unheard of!" "He is an alien!" "They couldn't Join even if she wanted to!".

At that point, the doctor appeared from the back of the crowd, and went to stand next to Liana and Jake. "PLEASE STOP! LISTEN!" she shouted. The doctor was highly respected in the village, so everyone did stop talking.

"Listen to me," she continued, "I have examined the stranger, and to my considerable surprise, he seems to be fully compatible with Kbraxi anatomy. He could as well BE a Kbraxi male, nobody would notice the difference. I don't see any reason they couldn't Join. Now, Liana, do you accept?"

Liana, with tears of happiness in her eyes, said: "Yes... yes I want nothing more."

At that moment, the Kbraxi villagers looked at each other and seemed to come to the conclusion that it must be fine. They all congratulated Jake and Liana. One very drunk lady even slapped Jake on the ass (flattening his shit against his butt cheeks) as she congratulated him.

As Jake came to understand later, apparently the doctor's explanation made them consider him one of them, perhaps from a long lost branch of the species or something.

In any case, as the party was winding down, Liana and Jake quietly went to their quarters, where Liana took off Jake's clothes, grabbed the shit in his pants to cover his dick, and fucked him until they both fell asleep.

The next morning, Jake asked Liana "What happens now?"

Liana replied that they'd have to go to the Kbraxi home world. She'd asked the doctor to arrange transport and it would be there to pick them up by the end of the day.

Jake said: "I thought no strangers were allowed on your home world?"

Liana explained that he was one of them now, a true Kbraxi. Besides, Kbraxi Prime was the only place with the proper facilities for a good Joining.

The transfer to Kbraxi prime was short and uneventful, but Liana did explain the next steps of the process to Jake. There first would be a small ceremony, and then the true Joining would happen. After that moment there was no way back, but it would take several more months for their bodies to become fully Joined.

On Kbraxi Prime, Jake and Liana were brought to a large building, that on one hand looked like a warm, inviting place, but on the other hand also had a little bit of a hospital vibe. This was the Joining Center, Liana explained, and here they would be spending quite some time.

The ceremony turned out to be similar to an Earth wedding ceremony. Someone wearing formal-looking clothes asked both Liana and Jake to confirm several times that they truly wanted to Join. Liana's family was there too. When meeting them, Jake couldn't help thinking of his own family back on Earth. It was a bit sad that they couldn't be there. Well, they wouldn't have understood or be able to accept what he was about to do, anyway.

After the formalities were over, Jake, Liana, and her family went to a large table where they got served a huge dinner. Liana told Jake to eat as much as he could - this would be their last meal before the Joining and he'd need the energy. Liana filled her plate with Brzbo beans, while Jake enjoyed the wide diversity of Kbraxi food and ate a bit of everything.

As dinner was winding down, Liana and Jake, who was starting to get a stomach ache, were led down a corridor and into a room. The room was small, but cozy. The walls were covered in warm, brownish red tapestries, but the most defining feature was the large bed.

Once they were alone in the room, Liana said: "Are you ready to do this?"

Jake nervously chuckled and said: "More than ever, I think. What do I do?"

Liana instructed Jake to strip naked while she did the same. They got on the bed and started kissing. "Don't worry. You won't have to do much, just leave it to me and relax. Now, get up!"

Jake stood up, clutching his bloated stomach. Liana also got up and stood next to the bed, bended down towards the bed, sticking her sexy butt out. "Jake, I need you to fuck me like this!"

That didn't need saying twice - Jake approached her from the back and mounted her, doggy style. As Jake started fucking Liana, he saw the spots down her back getting wetter than he'd ever seen before. It made him very horny and he kept pumping away, with Liana moaning loudly after every thrust. As he came in her, he noticed that her spots were now positively dripping her horny liquid.

"Jake... mmm.... Jake... kiss... my back" Liana managed to say. Jake put his mouth on a large brown spot in Liana's neck. The touch made her spray some of her fluid right into his mouth, which in turn made him feel very calm and sleepy. Jake dozed off within seconds, still with his mouth in her neck and his dick in her cunt.
