Deep Space – The Alien Ship
... With the weapon rock steady in his hand, the First Officer sat staring at the shaking Captain. There was a long pause before the First seemed to make up his mind. “Hmmm, I meant to just show you how easy it would be to kill you, but after thinking about it for a bit, I think it might well be the best approach just now. Practically everyone on this ship hates your guts. Most would believe your ‘suicide’ without question. In other words, they would not give a shit. Yes, the more I think about it, the more I feel it is time for you to die for real – past time – and this is a perfect opportunity to kill your sorry ass and get away with it,” he ground out as he centered the sights on the Captain’s left eye.
Suddenly, there was a bad smell in the ready room and the Captain closed his eyes, shaking while mumbling, “Please.”
“Bang,” the First Officer yelled again, then grinned as the Captain screamed like a female before he finally realized he was still alive.
“I’ll...” the Captain began, but the next word didn’t seem to want to come past his lips.
“That is twice. Want to try again? Of course, my finger might slip and press the firing stud a little too firmly next time. It only takes the faintest push. Or maybe, I will just go ahead and kill your sorry ass. As I have said on many occasions, I do not want to be the Captain of this menagerie, but if you continue to push me, it will happen and ... I will get away with it.” After a pause, the First went on, “Since you seem incapable of making logical decisions, I will tell you what to do. You will inform the Paladin Commander that a team of engineers will access and remove vital parts of the scout’s warp engine, rendering it incapable of functioning. You will also inform him that this is being done because of the danger to this ship and its personnel that his irresponsible technician has subjected all of us to. You will not ask. You will tell the Commander that this will happen. We all know it was done deliberately, but we will give the Commander an out and let him pretend it was an accident – for the time being.
“When the Chief Engineer is satisfied that the scout’s engine is inoperative, and ... he has the ship’s warp coils in tune again, we will resume our journey. Or ... the next time, I will, indeed, fire my weapon when I draw on you, and then we will accomplish what I have laid out. And again, if there are any attempts on my life, I will assume that you are behind them and simply kill you without warning. I have just proven – twice – how easy it would be.
“Now ... as far as I am concerned, no one will hear of anything that has happened in this meeting other than that you have agreed to have the Chief Engineer render the scout’s warp engine inoperative. Are we clear on this?”
During the time he was talking, the weapon remained rock steady while continuing to point at the Captain’s face. There was a weak nod from the Captain, and the First stood, looked hard at his so-called superior as the First dropped his weapon back into its holster. “Remember, there will be no further warning – just a killing that will be recorded as a suicide. Also, keep in mind that I have some very intelligent people under my command that will – shall we say – rewrite history as far as the recording of your demise is concerned. Too bad about your suicide, and so forth.” The First paused to sniff obviously. “You stink,” he snarled out with contempt. “Change your uniform and notify the Paladin Commander that the Chief and his crew, accompanied by you and me, of course, will be on the flight deck, shortly. And remember, should things go awry, there is a good possibility that I could kill the Paladin Commander, you and a couple of his people before they could draw their weapons. Whether I survive a gunfight or not, I can absolutely guarantee that you will not. You might keep that firmly in mind as you make your decisions.”
Back on the bridge, the First Officer gave the primary bridge crew the highlights of the meeting.
The Science Officer caught the First’s eye, and at his nod, activated a program. “We can talk freely now, Sir.”
The Second Officer spoke before the First had time to. “This could be a trap, Sir. I am going with you. You need someone to watch your back.”
“No,” the First said after a moment to think. “I certainly appreciate your offer, but I need you here – all of you.”
The Science Officer finally had a chance to speak. “I have devised a way to override the main airlock controls to the flight deck as well as the other airlocks in the Paladin area. If you are killed, I will space the whole Paladin fleet.”
“That would be a bit hard to cover up, I should think.”
“Maybe not. We could fake a stray shot hitting the instrument panel and shorting everything out. Who gives a shit? If they kill you, we would make sure they all die, one way or another, then go rogue.”
“Are you certain that your shutting down the recording will not be noticed?”
“First, you almost insult my capabilities. We have discussed this before. I assure you that no one will be able to know that we had this or any other conversation that we want to keep from the High Command.”
“Well, I appreciate all your efforts and loyalty to me,” he said, addressing the whole bridge crew. “Now, turn the recording back on and let me get things started.”
A moment later, the First was on the line with the Chief Engineer. “I suggest you select two of your best sub-engineers and meet the Captain and me in his ready room. After he contacts the Paladin Commander, we will go to the Flight Deck to secure the scout’s engine as you suggested. Obviously, we will all go armed.”
“It would be a lot simpler if we just shoot the Commander,” the Chief grumbled.
“We might have to do that, but we will try diplomacy first. That means that we will not make any accusations. I had rather get this done without having to kill anyone – or get some of us killed. So, please, keep your mouth shut and let me and the Captain do the talking. Agreed?”
There was a pause before the Chief Engineer reluctantly nodded agreement on the screen. “But do they realize how close we all came to dying with what that idiot did?”
“They know and I will reiterate it. But please, Chief, keep your mouth shut.”
“For you,” he said with a sigh, “if the Paladin Commander keeps his mouth shut as well.”
“Just let me handle it. I had rather that we get to this Earth without having a full-out battle on board. Our mission is to find and conquer planets, not start a war among ourselves.”
The Prison Planet
The newlyweds had made love a total of three times during the night, all full-length sessions with multiple orgasms for each. In the wee hours, Jasmine had broken out the pussy cream that Diana had left for them. When she had thrown the furs back just after daylight, Morales dick was somewhat red, but standing tall, yet again.
“Now that we’re married, I can ask.” Blushing and with a giggle, she continued, “Does that thing ever go down?” The question was coached as a joke, but she was mostly serious.
“Well, not in the mornings before I’ve drained it,” Morales responded with a chuckle. “And with your breasts showing – never,” he finished.
When he reached for a breast, she avoided him. “I’m sorry, Baby, but I’m way too sore, and I have a full bladder, too. If you want, I’ll give you a blowjob when we get back from the outhouse, but right now, I really, really need to pee.”
“Yeah, me too ... Wife,” he said before he grabbed and kissed her.
She kissed him back, hard, for a couple of seconds before she broke away to scramble into her fatigues. He was still in the process of pulling on his pants when she pulled on a coat, grabbed her rifle and hurried outside, the wolves leading the way.
Morales trudged halfway to the porta potty under cloudy skies and with a light snow falling before he decided to stop to pee on a tree.
When she came back out of the outhouse, he was waiting partway down the hill. “I didn’t hear the door of the porta potty open and close, so I suppose you must have used a tree, hmmm? Men have it so easy.”
“Well, I could have used the porta potty or... the other seat in the outhouse,” he said with a chuckle, bluffing.
“As far as your using the other seat, I suspect I’ll be waiting a long while for that,” she finished as she pulled his head down for a quick kiss. Putting an arm around him, they started back toward the cave entrance, “Baby, I loved our wedding night, but I’m really sore. How about you?”
“Well, I guess that I’m aware of it, but I’m not really that uncomfortable, I suppose, but I can certainly understand your being sore, though. You were really tight, and you never did loosen up that much. If you hadn’t already told me otherwise, I would have been certain you were a virgin.”
Frowning slightly, she said, “Right now, it feels like I’ve had something way too big stuffed in there.” She, for some reason, didn’t tell him that she had been practicing Kegel exercises for years. Di says that between the pussy cream and the accelerated healing from the enhancement, she and all her sister-wives are usually ready by the next night. I don’t know how big Jeff is, but I seriously doubt he is any bigger than you,” she said as he pulled the door open for her and she turned into his arms. “I suppose that the two guys I picked to try must have had fairly small penises, because even with my being a virgin for the first one, it barely hurt at all, and it surely did not stimulate me. The second guy seemed about the same size as the first, and it wasn’t even slightly uncomfortable that time. Of course,” she said with a laugh, “neither made me even think about coming; I had to do that for myself. I guess they didn’t care much for foreplay. They basically did little more than just rub my ... button for a moment or two – with too much force, incidentally – then each just pushed it in and started hunching.”
“Baby,” he said as he kissed her forehead while fighting the jealousy that tried to flare up after hearing her describe being fucked by other men, “obviously, they were assholes. I’m sure they had enough to allow you to enjoy it. They just didn’t take the time to get you in the mood first. I worked with a guy once that was only about five feet five and certainly not built up a lot. Hell, he even bragged that he had a little dick, but he always had good-looking women around him. And ... they made no bones about his being a great lover. I guess there are size queens out there, but he proved that size didn’t matter, at least to the women he dated.”
“Well,” she said, looking up at him coyly, “all you have to do is look at me and I’m in the mood. But ... all I can offer right now is a blowjob. Not that I’m complaining, you understand, because I love to do it. Ready for one now?” she asked with a smile.
He pulled her to him and tenderly kissed her. “What about a sixty-nine, instead?”
“Sorry,” she said while still hugging him. “I didn’t realize how sore I was until I went to pee. My clit is really sensitive this morning, but I would love to do you. Remember what I said about being addicted to sperm?”
Morales chuckled as he hugged her tightly. “Let’s just wait until we’re both over being sore. Maybe Diana was right with what she told you, and we’ll be ready to go by tonight.”
She pushed back to stare him in the face. “You sure? I wasn’t kidding about loving the taste of sperm – at least your sperm – and in case you didn’t notice, I sometimes have a small orgasm while I’m sucking you.”
Morales’ smile grew bigger. “Yeah, I did notice, and it’s a real turn-on for me, but I’ve already had far more orgasms than I’ve ever been able to have in one night. Let’s rustle up some breakfast. I’m bigtime hungry.”
“Bacon, eggs and toast?” she asked.
“Hmmm, how about steak, potatoes, eggs and biscuits? I’m really hungry.”
“Yeah, me too,” she admitted. “Steak, potatoes, eggs and biscuits it is then.”
They fell into their pattern working together as they always did, but today, there were a lot more innuendoes, giggling and laughter. As soon as the cave was warm enough, Jasmine unfastened several buttons on her fatigues to give her husband flashes of her breasts as they bounced and jiggled while the newlyweds went about preparing breakfast.
Later, while eating, both on their second steaks, Jasmine frowned. “I hope Diana is right about our not gaining weight, even though our appetites have increased. We’re eating, basically, twice what we normally do.”
“Jeff said the appetite would slack off after a few weeks, but we would still eat a lot more than before.”
“Yeah, I know what they said, but if they’re wrong, I’m going to be a blimp from eating all this food.” Smiling, she looked over at the chickens as they attacked their bigger breakfast. “I think we have plenty of grain for the chickens, but the wolves eat, basically, what we do ... except more of it.”
This story illustrates a risk of sex under hypnosis. It could be called rape. This story builds on ‘Arlene Gets Hypnotized,’ my previous story. * * * * * I was sitting in my office at the University when Arlene walked into my open office. ‘Professor, are you busy?’ I probably was, but Arlene was a delight to look at and to have around. Especially to a 58 year old psychology professor who was pretty much reduced to dreaming about what had been and might have been. ‘Well, I was deep in...
At eight on the dot, he carried a laughing Jennie into an instantly quiet kitchen. Still in his arms, Jennie kissed him. Turning to the other wives, she gave the proclamation, "I'm full of come," then followed with, "but ... I'm broken." That started the usual scramble, but they had the pussy cream in the kitchen this time, and Jeff insisted that he carry her to the hot tub. He kissed her tenderly, then was shooed away by Diana, who kissed him and whispered. "That glow on her face...
The Retreat Arlene and Ann finally managed to get Jeff reasonably alone for a couple of minutes. After kissing him passionately, Arlene transferred Little One to the Prime’s shoulder, where she made her way under his collar to her usual resting place spread across his back. As soon as she had settled in, he told her how much he loved and missed her before giving her a brief account of the trip. Little One told him how much she missed him and shared the happenings in Germany. All of this was...
THE RETREAT: LATE THURSDAY NIGHT Arlene and Selina sat on Selina's bed, their backs propped against pillows as they played with Billy. Arlene slid her hand back and forth under the sheet as Billy pretended to stalk a terribly dangerous prey. He held his body and his head very close to the bed, occasionally lifting his head slightly to peek at his target, the tip of his tail twitching continuously. Then, he would jump as high as he could, coming down on Arlene's hand, tussling with it...
A shaking of Ann's shoulder accompanied a discordant buzz from her watch. "Plebe, you have thirty minutes to shower, dress and get to your first class. You don't have time for breakfast today, so ask the AI for a couple of energy bars." Ann, bleary-eyed, shut her alarm off and swung her legs out of her bed as the Class Lieutenant, already immaculately clad in her uniform, stepped back to give the smaller girl room to stand. "Thanks, Arlene," Ann mumbled as she came to her feet and...
The Mission Hours later, Arlene and Ann, tired, eased to the edge of a high rock bluff overlooking the massive power station in the distance. “Well, they sure don’t bother to conserve energy, at least with their lights,” Arlene sarcastically remarked as they stared at the brilliantly lit station. Worried that they might be discovered, both young women had employed their sensors over the edge to gather information before proceeding with their mission. “Just how are we supposed to get from...
The women had pushed the two kitchen tables together. Frank Wainwright stood looking at them as Jeff, Kayla, and Diana came in. "We either need to get a bigger table in here, or start eating in the dining room." "Bigger table," Jeff and Diana said at almost the same time. "The dining room is too formal," Diana continued. "We want to be a family, and with all of us for three meals a day, it's a lot easier to serve in here than taking the food into the dining room. The kitchen is...
Ship ...”We were still here all the time?” Kathy got out with amazement. “Ann told me that Ship’s training was very realistic, but this is beyond...” she finished as her voice trailed off. Bill automatically put an arm about his wife as he cast a look around the room. “Arlene and Ann had something they needed to do, but they will meet you in the lounge,” Ship told them. Bill, Kathy, Arlene Ann and the two crews that had flown the training mission with them were all sitting around a big...
During breakfast in the dining room, Diana stood and tapped a spoon on her orange juice glass. When the room quieted, "Most of you already know, but for the ones who don't, Frank, Margaret, Tina, Bill, Kathy and Jill will be back from the island this morning. Margaret called me late yesterday from their hotel suite in Los Angeles. She said they were anxious to get home and would leave really early for the last leg of their trip back. I would appreciate it if all of those of us who will be...
The Retreat ... The Sheriff and his family had left. Jeff and Joe Martin were sitting in the living room talking while the women had gone somewhere, probably to the bathroom. “So, how’s the honeymoon going?” Jeff, at a loss for a topic, asked uncomfortably, not wanting to get into the subject that he thought Arlene should take care of. “Great. I’m still amazed that she actually married me. Sir, the woman brought some polish along and polished her wedding ring – a brand-new wedding ring. I...
... Ann raised a foot from the muck to shake off something that wiggled and flopped about as it tried to use its teeth and suckers on the near-impervious suit. But the skin suit sluffed off the creature’s actions without much notice, and she stomped it into the muck. A few minutes later, they were out of the water and on a long peninsula of muddy land that extended partway through the swamp. Tired, the two stopped for a breather. Turning, Ann started to make a comment, but instead screamed...
... Ann looked at the screen in front of her. “See that?” “Yeah,” Arlene said with a sigh. “Continental shelf. Our world is going shallow. We’re almost there.” “Chances are that very shortly we’re going to be brain dead for real,” Ann quietly said as she began yet another check of their systems. A few minutes later, they came to a halt in water no more than fifty feet deep. “I don’t see any signs of our intruder on my screen. How about yours?” Ann shook her head, then realized that...
Jeff had gotten a bid from the dealer on the Internet and there wasn't a salesman involved. The sales manager handled the business. "How long to prep the black one?" The manager grinned. "After I talked with you on the phone, I went ahead and prepped it, just in case. All I have to do is gas it up and it will be ready." "Fine. Do it, and we'll get the paperwork out of the way." A little later, the paperwork was done, and Jeff swiped his debit card. The sales manager seemed to...
Diana came back with a washcloth and helped her mother put it between her legs, and also helped her get her panties and shorts back on. Susan was still mostly out of it, her motions and actions slow and somewhat uncoordinated. "You really blew her away," Diana said to her husband as she sat and pulled her mother into her arms. "She really blew me away, too," Jeff said as he touched Susan's cheek. "I was aware enough to support most of my weight on my forearms, but all I wanted to do...
In the hallway, Susan threw a load of wet towels on the cart, then a moment later came back out of the suite with the vacuum cleaner she had been using. Muttering to herself, her face red, she hung the vacuum on the side of the cart and started for the next suite. "What's wrong, Meemi?" Arlene asked as she caught up to her grandmother. "Two people. Two people in there and they used up all the towels we left for them, plus extras that they demanded last night at 9:00 o'clock, then they...
... Jeff had also heard the door close, and shoved Helen into Diana's arms, causing Diana to stagger, Laura grabbing Helen to help. He pulled his .45 from his waistband and started down the hall, but even as he did so, he saw Arlene at the intersection of the hallways and knew he was too late. Jeff figured one of the mercenaries had to be in the hallway, and was probably doing the same thing Arlene was. (Slicing the pie at the intersection.) He also knew he would never make the...
The Retreat Diana frowned prettily. “That reminds me. We need to go back to 2214 to see if Jasmine and her sister-wives have caught up with their canning yet. We should do that tomorrow.” “Yep. And they need to get back into training as soon as possible too, but we can’t leave to visit them until the Sergeant and his crew have completed their investigation.” “So, how long will that take?” “As long as it takes,” Jeff responded to her frustration. “Look, Sergeant Higgins is in charge of the...
Diana parked in front of the art supply store. Hope, sitting in the second seat with Ann, started to open her door, but Ann put out a restraining hand. "Let Security do their thing first." "Are we really in that much danger?" Diana spoke up from the driver's seat. "We didn't go into details when we told you about the attack, and no, we don't expect it to happen again, but we didn't expect that attack, either. And, yeah, it's an irritant having to have Security everywhere we go,...
When they parked in the back, the door of the Retreat opened and all Jeff's younger wives, who had stayed home, came hurrying out accompanied by Selina. As Hope and Arlene exited the SUV with the puppies snuggled under their coats, Arlene pointed to an area just past the pavement near the side of the Retreat. "Mrs. Kimbrel said we should walk them as soon as we got home," Arlene told the others as she and Hope opened their coats enough to give everyone a peek at the baby...
The Retreat ... The young wives looked at each other before Arlene turned to her husband. “As per your orders, I’m continuing to schedule crews for patrol missions. Of course...” “But that’s not where you just came from,” Jeff interrupted to say. The two young women exchanged a look. “We might as well tell him and get it over with,” Ann said. Arlene stared at her partner, then with a sigh, agreed, but as she opened her mouth, Ann began to speak. “We know that the General has made every...
Hope held one of the outfits up as she repressed a giggle. "Dogs can see color, can't they?" Arlene grabbed Spike, who had apparently figured things out and was sneaking off. "Oh, no you don't, Big Boy. You get to try on your new snowsuit." Then answering Hope's question, "They can see colors, but I've read that the colors they see probably aren't as intense to dogs as they are to humans. They have fewer cones in their eyes, and humans have several different types of cones that...
... Arlene motioned to their forward screen and the rippling, wavering, blurry image there. “I can’t see worth a shit because of the burning atmosphere, and the sensors have packed up from the heat. But I think I’ll go to full shields right about...” A geyser shot hundreds of feet into the air as the craft hit the water with a sound that could be heard many, many miles away. Even at full shields, some of the shock bled through and, had it not been for the gravity field of their seats,...

Laura woke him the usual way, and she almost went too far. When Jeff grunted and his cock started to swell, she jerked her mouth off. It was a near thing for a few seconds. "I guess I almost went off while I was still asleep," he groaned. "Wow, I'm really horny." "Sorry, Jeff. You usually go forever. I wouldn't mess it up for Diana for the world." "It wasn't your fault," he said, finally regaining control. "It's just the stress of the day. Of course, I've had two of those damn...
In their bedroom, dressed in pajamas, the girls flopped into bed. Terry grabbed the remote and dialed the lights down, then turned to her sister. "Arlene said that we wouldn't have any more periods until Little One turns them on for us again. Boy, I can sure live with that." Alice got a look on her face and responded, "Well, as you know, I've only had one, but it sure was icky – not to say anything about worrying if I were bleeding to death. If that's what it takes to be a woman, I...
Jeff and his women had showered and were in bed only moments when Ship announced that Arlene's scout was minutes away. Since the family was still using their suite on the Ship, they were quickly dressed – well partially anyway – and waiting for Arlene as she maneuvered her scout through the outer bay door and onto the flight deck. She didn't go all the way to the scout's bay though, but stopped in front of her family. An instant after the scout came to a halt, its belly hatch opened and...
The Waterfall Campsite ... Dessie straightened up and stared at Ann. “I have eaten pheasant, fish and rabbit until they’re practically coming out my ears. I’ve had MREs while backpacking and wasn’t in love with them all that much, but I think I would love some now, no matter what the meal consists of.” “We have an assortment. I noticed a Brisket Entreé, Chicken something or other, and a Beef Stew, with whatever goes with them, and several more besides. We just grabbed some at random in...
JUST OUTSIDE A SMALL NORTHWESTERN TOWN Once again Nichols sat worrying in front of his boss' elegant desk. Rich, wealthy, words don't describe the extreme category the older man fit into. Nor can you describe how evil this man is either, Nichols thought, his face devoid of expression as he waited for Mr. Moreau to end his phone call. Nichols dreaded that. When the call ended, Moreau would ask questions that Nichols didn't have acceptable answers to. The town council members think Moreau...
Jeff, Diana, Dave and Evie sat in the living room, waiting. When the phone rang, Diana checked the caller ID and answered. "Glad you guys are back." "Diana, I..." The voice chopped off, then Carla cleared her throat and tried again. "Diana, our dreams..." Carla's voice stopped again, to be replaced by quiet sobs of joy. "I can't..." "You just did," Diana said softly. "You're on speaker, so all of us can hear you. Jeff, Dave and Evie are here with me and listening. And, you're...
...”See that tree that has the broken limb hanging down?” “Yes,” Aiko gasped out. “We’ll jog to it, then we will walk for a hundred steps.” “I don’t know...” “Yes, you do. You know you can. I’ll bet it’s even less than a hundred steps. Let’s count them,” she finished as she began counting their steps aloud while they slow-jogged. Soon Aiko added her voice. “Ninety-two. Told you it was less than a hundred. Now we’ll walk for a hundred steps, and rested or not, we will jog starting at...
The Retreat As Charlotte and Diana sat at the bar in the kitchen watching the other women, Selina stopped by. "Want to help?" the little genius asked the young woman. Worried, Charlotte answered, "Everything is happening so fast that I barely know what's going on." "Oh, you will get used to that," Selina said as she reached for Charlotte's hand. "Well, I'll be glad to help if I can." Charlotte glanced at Diana, who nodded with a smile. "No better way than to just dive...
They were high up and soon over the ocean, having left the continent behind. They passed the terminator and continued into night, still headed west, the myriad lights of the cities twinkling as the Earth seemed to slowly spin below. But before the view could become boring – if it ever could -- the horizon seemed to shift downward on the big screen as the Ship gradually pointed her nose away from the planet, the full moon drifting down toward the center of the viewscreen. There was a...
Jeff met with Kei, Edi and Alesha on the updated design that they were working on for the new ski lodge, then stopped off in the living room to watch the late news before eventually winding up in his suite. After a shower where he "played" with Jennie and Melissa, he walked into a strangely quiet bedroom. Looking around, he began to wonder. "What?" he asked, then suddenly it hit him, "Where's Ann?" Arlene caught his eye. "We've looked for her, and she's not anywhere in the Retreat....
The Castle ...”Certainly,” Arlene responded, “but please don’t either of you touch it. The AI can become quite persnickety, and he has the means to back up his displeasure.” “You have a functioning artificial intelligence?” Karl asked. “Please don’t mention it around him. I think he is trying to find a way to become a citizen,” Arlene returned with a chuckle. “Uh, I won’t,” Karl responded, not quite sure if Arlene were kidding or not. Both Karl and Fischer thanked Arlene and hurried off...
Jeff had stopped by his office to pick up a few pieces of printer paper. Alone in the living room a couple of minutes later, he wadded up a sheet of the paper into a loose ball. If I screw up with this paper ball, air resistance, if nothing else, should keep its flight slow enough to prevent me from tearing up things. With Arlene's encouragement while on the Ship's range, he had gained a small measure of expertise as he mentally moved a steel ball around and caused it to spin, but he still...
The Mission ... Both were tempted to use their suits’ drive units, but they knew that would alert the Throme if anything would. Scrambling down, they were soon in the water. A hundred meters out, they saw a glint of movement coming toward them just under the surface. “Let’s go home,” Arlene said to her partner. As soon as the hatch closed and even before they were out of the airlock, the AI had them moving away from land. “Oh, I so want to get out of this suit,” Arlene grumped a few...
The Retreat Shortly after lunch, Arlene went out to the Ship expecting to sit in one of the command couches and be swept away by the simulator to another very realistic space battle, but she froze as soon as she passed through the hatch. Jeff had called Kayla and Art to his office, intending to ask them to begin training in the Ship's simulator. Before he could begin, the AI turned the TV on to show Arlene jogging back from the Ship. The AI didn't say anything, but apparently thought...
The Retreat After breakfast, Arlene, Ann and Selina gathered enough food to last them the rest of the day. “Should this not be the correct castle and we continue the search, we will need something to drink with our lunch,” Selina said as she opened a refrigerator. “There is water available at each station on the interceptor. As for soft drinks, please bring only what you are sure you will drink. Storage space is at a premium,” Arlene told the seven-year-old. “Bathroom?” Selina asked as...
Jeff had just dialed his next door neighbor who lived a mile down the road. "Steve Sperman here." "Hi Mr. Sperman. This is Jeff. How's it going?" "Hmmm. Didn't we have a discussion about that Mr. thing?" Jeff chuckled. "Yeah, I guess we did, Steve. How's Marcie doing?" There was a hesitation. "You know, that's a funny thing, like I mentioned before. Seems like after the night we spent at your place, ol' Uncle Arthur (arthritis) suddenly got much better. Odd that both of us...
The Prison Planet Ship had received permission from her Prime to go back to Earth long enough to pick up Arlene, Ann and the other aviators, then take the Wing to orbit for its launch. The trip to Earth and back would only take a few minutes. Giving the interceptors a ride to orbit and their launch would take only a few minutes more. The interceptors normally remained in their bays on Ship’s flight deck, so she would have to go back anyway. Also, she would have to return to Earth again when...
Deep Space "Question is, are they going to notice us?" Ann asked as she watched as one of the alien vessels came from behind a large chunk of moon and headed straight for them. Ann knew she could not warp out without her drive trying to take some of the debris field with them, which would probably result in the destruction of her warp drive, and/or her ship. In addition, she strongly suspected that the aliens would pick up her inertialess drive's signature, should she use that with them...
“Despite our AIs actually doing the flying, I want every pilot to have his or her hands on the controls at all times when we do this for real, and when we practice as well. Ann and I have put together a rough outline. Everything seems to work in the simulation, but we haven’t done it for real yet. There could very well be glaring errors that only show up when actually flying the patterns. Bottom line: be careful and think about what the next step is. Does the current process make sense with...
When they left the suite a few minutes later, they saw Melissa at the far end of the hall. She seemed to do a double-take, then turned and rushed around the corner, probably heading for the kitchen. A little later, when they walked through the door, she was already setting out two more plates. Jeff pulled Ann tighter against him, and they stopped just inside the kitchen. I know Ann is blushing. Damn, I thought I was too old to blush, but my face feels like it’s on fire. Everyone was seated...
EARLIER IN THE MORNING AT QUINTON TATE'S HOME After his morning shower, Quinton, dressed in his uniform and still buckling on his gun belt, walked into the kitchen. Before he could sit down, the phone rang. "Quinton," he said, putting the instrument to his ear as he finished securing the belt with the keepers. "Well, good morning. Are you planning to go somewhere on your little impromptu vacation?" his Captain asked, cheerily – a little too cheerily. "What vacation?" Quinton joked...
"We still have a problem," Diana said. "I doubt if Billy has ever used a litter box. So how are we going to train him to use it and not pee on the carpet? Since there aren't any pet stores in Winter Park, I guess we can order a kennel on the Internet and have it overnighted, but as late as it is, it will still be day after tomorrow before it gets here..." "Yeah, we were lucky the grocery store even had litter boxes. But we're ahead of you about the kennel," Jeff said. "Arlene had an...
The Retreat ... Charlotte and Ada sat for a moment as Diana's words sank in. Both mother and daughter were clearly skeptical as they furtively glanced at the other three women. Diana let out a chuckle. "You can say it; we won't get mad." Ada hesitated. "This is no joke? You're actually telling us that Susan is your mother and Arlene is your daughter?" "Got it in one," Diana said with a grin. "But..." Ada began. Then, after studying Susan's and Arlene's faces some more, she...
Jeff sat in his usual place at the head of the table. Frank Wainwright sat to Jeff's right as the family (minus four who were eating with Margaret and Tina in their suite) ate lunch. All the Alphas ate a lot, and Jeff usually ate more than most of them, but today, he was hungrier than usual. He had gone through his first plate and was already started on his second one. "Looks like you're a bit hungry today," Frank tactfully said. "I didn't see you after breakfast. What did you do to...
Joyce, Caitlin, Jennie, Melissa and Ann came in with the latter two pushing serving carts. Soon, the table was set and food arrayed in front of Arlene, Diana, Susan and Jeff. The wives' efficiency was not lost on Susan, but she refused to acknowledge it due to her sour mood. Each time she had talked to her daughter or granddaughter on the phone lately, her suspicions that something was going on had increased. Then the introductions in the living room were almost more than she could...
Everyone except Matt and Courtney was waiting in the living room. The new SAC and his wife had borrowed an Escalade and driven down to Winter Park. "HELICOPTER APPROACHING FROM THE NORTH. SECURITY HAS CLEARED IT TO LAND ON OUR PAD." Margaret had called earlier to say that everything had gone without a hitch and they were on the way home, but Angel had been beaten and was in need of medical attention. "Let's go," Jeff said as he started out the door of the living room with Little One...
Aboard Ship, Arlene, Ann and Selina are teaching the Morales family how to field strip, clean and reassemble a pulse rifle. ...”Very good, Mr. Morales. That’s a whole lot better than I did the first time,” Arlene blatantly lied. “Okay, Jasmine, do you know what’s next?” “Well, I did until you scrambled the parts,” Jasmine said with a chuckle, “but I think it’s that thing over there — a modulator, I believe you called it.” And the process went on. The next time they field stripped the...
The Prison Planet As the group neared the second area that was obstructed by boulders, Jeff said with a sigh, “Sorry, Ladies, but I still have a headache from moving the last bunch. No way am I going to play bulldozer just now.” “It’s getting colder in here,” Tosha said as she zipped her jacket, took her gloves out of a pocket and pulled them on. “Is it just me, or is the path sloping downward more?” Kei asked as she and the others followed suit – other than Jeff, who only zipped his light...
Kayla very briefly told everyone what had happened. Just as she was finishing up, Sheriff Tate, who had been eating with the team, walked into the hallway to chat with the others. "I helped the guys move the bodies out. We found a roll of black plastic in the basement and covered the pile of them." "That piece of plastic over there on the floor," Jill said, motioning down the hallway near the theater door, "is that where one of them..." "Yeah," Kayla said. "General Whitworth has a...
As everyone walked down the hall toward the theater, Selina hung back. When Diana turned and caught her eye, Selina, with purpose, walked on past, turned the corner and went on to her suite. If I do not ask, then the answer cannot be no, she thought. Waiting four minutes by her internal clock, she walked back out of her suite, down the hall and peeked around the corner in the direction of the theater. There was no one in the hallway. Shortly, she slowly opened the theater door the tiniest...
With the Alphas at Security headquarters studying the pulse rifle and the women apparently all in the basement, Jeff wandered through the Retreat at a loss as to what he should be doing. Deciding he would work in his lab to pass the time, he returned to the basement. Poking his head in one of the rooms, he got a smile from Kayla who was leading an exercise class – push-ups for the moment. His position allowed him a view of erect nipples on several of his wives, and a couple of the other...

Arlene grabbed Jeff's hand. "Come on, Daddy. Let's go back to our suite. Mom and Selina will be back ... uh sometime." Jeff frowned as he turned back to the others, "Yeah, that's what I'm worried about – the sometime. It's not like Diana to run off like that." Laura put her arm around his waist to get him started toward their suite. "Well, you were the one who kept pushing Diana to go through the academy. I have been through only the first six months there, but all that discipline...
Bobby put her hands on her face and took a breath trying to stifle a giggle. "We're acting like whores," she said, while desperately trying not to reach for Art's cock. Sandra hissed in a breath. "Art, I don't know what's happened to us. Honest, we don't act like this. We've each had one guy — once, and that was just to get rid of our cherries. But it's like we've been given an aphrodisiac. I want you so bad that it's hard to breathe," she finished, not knowing that Art was...
The Colonel’s Office Aboard Ship ...”And Worthington. Hear this! If something happens to my wife, I’ll kill you without a second thought. Now get out of my face before I change my mind and do what I know should be done.” Without saluting, Worthington spun on his heel and stomped out. Jeff sat thinking. Should I tell his Commander why I’m sending him back? After a moment, he shrugged. On second thought, I asked for his best aviators to give them a chance in my unit. No one, other than us,...
