Ticonderoga – Episode 4 Shattered Dreams

I am sorry this one took so long to come out. I have been busy writing my latest novel – “Saving Mouse”. It is now available through Amazon and Smashwords. You can look it up by searching for Sean M. Campbell on those sites. If I get a lot of comments asking for it I will post the first three chapters of “Saving Mouse” here for your perusal.
I now give you the next episode of Ticonderoga.
———————————————————–
We were drifting through a dark nebula. We could not use our drives here because the gravitational wake could cause the dense material around us to collapse unexpectedly. The way through was simple. Find a straight line path through the cloud. Get a running start. Cut the engines before you entered. Then you just coast until you come out the far side.
We had buckled down for the three day coast and then went for it.
Mighty Mouse was learning the navigation duties. This was a good time for her to do that. She could not hurt us if she made a mistake. I had the engine cut off routed through my chair. They could not be engaged until I unlocked them.
“Sir, we have an incoming message from command.” Phonecall said softly from her communications console.
“Rout it to main screen,” I said and waited for the admiral to appear.
A face I had never seen before swam into view. “Good day, Captain Graves. I am Admiral Westland. There have been a few changes in commands around here, mostly due to your newest crew member. I am currently in charge of the deep program.”
“I am please to meet you, Admiral. May I ask where Admiral Tigrat has been posted?”
“He is currently in charge of a project to erect a power tower. We have a new group of psionic cadets passing through the academy now. The strongest of them will be stationed at the tower to take advantage of the ability to transport items through the wormhole.”
“I assume this unscheduled call is not just social?”
“No, I have a mission adjustment for you. We have lost contact with the Sequoia. Our updates place your ship as the closest responder. I am marking their last reported location on your navigation screen. They should be just on the other side of the nebula from you.”
“Good fortune smiles admiral. We are currently on our second day of drift through. We should breakout in thirty-two hours. I just have one question. We all come out here knowing there is no rescue. Is there going to be a change in that policy?”
“Phillip, this is a special case. Captain Furllow is president Furllow’s son. His life is your first priority. His crew was on the last year of their tour. We will make arrangements to have a deep transport rendezvous with you to bring any survivor’s back. Phillip, if your crew pulls this off you will all be heroes. You will be the first ship to ever pull off a deep rescue.”
“We will do our best, Admiral. Do we have any intel on events?”
“The last report was they had found an earth-like planet and were sending down a landing party. That was during their last report, ten days ago.”
The communications was closed. I called a meeting of my senior staff in the primary conference room. When everyone had arrived and was seated, I started my briefing. “We have been placed on a rescue mission. We have a last know position for the Sequoia, and a crew list. I would say let’s go by the book on this but, we have no book for rescue operations. When we get out of the nebula, I am going to need one hundred percent from ship and crew. You currently have thirty-one hours to get all diagnostic checks and maintenance completed. Are there any questions at this time?”
Jazz Hand’s second engineer raised his hand.
“Fumble, we are not in the academy any more, just ask your question.”
“Sir, due to our lack of solvent the injector system is not getting as clean as it needs to. We are currently working at about ninety-eight and declining.”
“Okay, we need to synthesize the solvent we need to do the job and no more. Jazz Hands, are you going to be okay if we have solvent on hand?”
“Sir, you know my wife’s and my problem. It would be best if neither of us was around the stuff.”
“Fumble, make the solvent and move into the nacelles with it. Jazz Hands, stay in main engineering during its use. We will keep it away from you.” I dismissed everyone to their tasks. The ship would be abuzz with maintenance for the next day. Unfortunately I would be pretty much useless during this time. I found my feet headed for the lounge. I wasn’t really stressed but I needed to clear my head.
I sat down at the bar and ordered an iced tea. I knew I needed to keep my wits about me. Something just felt wrong. I couldn’t help but feel I was flying into a trap. It had all the earmarks. I felt a hand touch my back and looked up into the eyes of Dolly. “What’s wrong, captain?”
“We have been ordered on a rescue mission.”
“Deep rescue? That is a little odd; we all come out here knowing the risks.”
“This one is special. The president’s son is the captain and we are in the area.”
“It sounds to me like you need to relax. The rain garden is free.”
I turned to look fully at the redheaded bombshell that was offering her companionship to me. She was dressed in a stunning green corset, with garters and hose. She had come here to relax and had singled me out to help her.
Being the gentleman that I am I took her drink from her hand and motioned to the bartender to refill it. “Just what did you have in mind?”
“I was thinking maybe a little fun in a rain shower might help you to think things through.”
“That it might,” I reached behind me to gather our drinks they now had lids. Then I stood and took her arm as we headed for the rain garden.
When the door slid open I could smell the rainstorm in the air. After handing her the drink in my hand I touched the control panel to set the rain temperature and force. It would start light and build to a tropical depression in strength. I then guided her to the grassy rise in the center of the room.
In the middle of the room I took our drinks and set them down on the lawn. Then I began to slowly caress and undress the woman in front of me. Her skin was a soft as silk as she began to flush with her excitement. By the time the corset fell to the ground at our feet she was already moaning softly. I leaned in and took one of her breasts into my mouth. As I nipped at the nipple she wrapped her hands around my head and pulled me tighter to her.
Her hands began to work my uniform off, as I continued to suckle and caress her breasts. She soon had me naked and was guiding me down onto the grass. The first drops of rain touched my skin as she worked her way down and took me into her mouth. As the rain splattered against our skin she began to hum with my cock in her throat. It did not take long for me to climb to the edge of bliss. “I am going to cum.” I said with a throaty growl.
She pushed me deep into her throat and began to swallow. The pressure on my cock drove me over the edge as my orgasm exploded into her. As she felt me release she pulled back and caught the rest of my flow in her mouth. I could feel her swallow greedily as I pumped burst after burst into her.
As I came down from my rush I looked down to see her lovingly cleaning me. I sat up and pushed her backwards. Before she could even relax back completely I buried my face in he soaking wet pussy. I was an animal as I took her flavor and consumed it. She began to moan with passion as I pushed a finger into her pussy. Her pleasure rose to the level of screams as I pushed a finger into her ass. She was grinding onto my hands as my tongue played with her clit. I saw her reach up and begin to pinch her own nipples. Then her legs slammed shut on my head like a trap. He fingers twined into my hair and tried to pull me away but I kept my face and hands locked into place.
“Please, you have me so sensitive.”
I flicked her clit with my tongue and she screamed out and her legs vibrated. With every touch she would convulse and try to pull away. Her own legs locked me in place so I continued to lick and nibble. I pushed a second finger into her pussy and her ass as she begged me to let her relax. The sudden scream was as loud as the peal of thunder that range through the room. Then she fell back and her legs flopped limply away from my head.
As she tried to recover I worked my way up her body. She wrapped her arms around me as she felt my cock bump against her entrance. With one savage plunge I pushed into her and listened to her moan out. Then I began to pump myself in and out of her with animal passion. She was jerking and thrusting with me as she rocked into another orgasm. I felt her body continue to vibrate as I pushed in and out of her. Soon she did not even have the strength to keep her arms around me. The force of the rain against our skin had increased until it felt like we were in a waterfall. The thunder echoed our cries of passion as I rose into those heights. She felt me began to get erratic and pulled her arms back up. Wrapping them around me she cried out as I felt her explode one last time. Our orgasms rushed through us as I filled her with everything I had.
We lay in the softening rain afterward. She was lazily cleaning me with her tongue and mouth as I thought through the mission we had ahead of us. I had to lay my suspicions to rest.
I was sitting in my chair on the bridge later that day. “Marijuana, I need to you to open the records on the Sequoia and look for anything odd in their reports over the last few weeks.”
“Yes, Sir.”
“I don’t care how small it is, I want to know anything out of the ordinary.”
“Yes, Sir.”
I sat in the chair for the next hour bored out of my skull. I could not shake the feeling that we were flying into some kind of trap. Something just felt wrong. “Phonecall, try and raise the Sequoia. Maybe there long range is out.”
A few minutes later, phonecall reported back. “Sir, I am showing that the signal is being received but they are not opening the channel so I cannot establish a stable wormhole.”
This news just made me feel more uneasy, what Marijuana said next made me even more nervous.
“Sir I have established something a bit unusual for the Sequoia. One of the crew members received several private communications from earth over the last few weeks. I have not found a name yet.”
“Mighty Mouse, I need you at the library console, I want a cross reference on the crew of the Sequoia. I need to know who could have gotten those calls.”
“Yes, Sir,” Mighty Mouse replied as she stood from the navigation console and moved next to Marijuana.
I knew I was going to drive my crew crazy. I left the bridge and headed for engineering. I needed to find something to pass the time. Drifting through space even on a known course made me feel helpless. It reminded me of the results of our first planet fall. A cold shiver ran down my spine as I thought about the damage twenty Cock-Biter Rats had done to this ship.
I walked into engineering to see Jazz Hands talking with one of his men. “Jazz Hands, progress report.”
“The primary and back up injectors on nacelles two and three are complete and reassembled. We will have nacelles one and four completed by end of shift. The drift has made this easy we did not have to wait for cool down time.”
“Have second shift run a full system diagnostics on the drives. Let’s use the time as long as we have it.”
“We have teams running diagnostics on every system on the ship. We should be in top shape by break out tomorrow night.”
I left engineering and headed for my quarters. My shift was over and night watch would be reporting. I caught Mountain in the hall as I passed his quarters. I exchanged reports with him and turned over the chair.
My night was restless, even my wife ended up kicking me out of the bed because I was keeping her awake. I could not shake the feeling and the longer it lingered the deeper the feeling became.
We made it through my next shift in the seat without anyone losing their head. I left orders that I was to be awoken when we made break out. Our ship was working at one hundred. I was awoken in the night by the com unit on the wall. “Sir, we are twenty minutes from break out.”
“I will be there shortly.”
Mighty Mouse fell in step beside me as I headed towards the bridge. “Captain, I found something that could be interesting. I was running the data on the crew of the Sequoia when I came across the personnel file for the second in command and his wife.”
“Spit it out, MM, I need either to confirm or break my suspicions.”
“The second in command, William Kines, is married to Janet Kines. Sir, her maiden name is Tigrat.”
I froze in my tracks. When I turned to look at Mighty Mouse I already knew the answer to my question. I also did not need to ask.
“She is admiral Tigrat’s daughter by his first marriage. Her specialty is security, and tactical.”
We were in trouble. I knew without a doubt we where headed into a trap. “Mighty Mouse, we need an edge. I think we are headed into a trap but have no way of proving it. Give me some kind of advantage.”
Mighty Mouse stepped in front of me stopping me from walking. She looked up into my eyes before she spoke. “Pig, we already have an advantage, we know it is a trap.”
We continued onto the bridge, as I took the chair from Mountain I called out my orders. “Let’s get ready for our restart. I need all systems online and functioning five by five in twenty minutes.” I thumbed the com panel on my chair to life. “Engineering, are we a clean go for restart?”
“Yes, Sir, we are five by five and on standby for injector initiation,” was the answer from the night chief.
I turned to see my wife join us on the bridge, and then looked over to our science and scanner stations. “Might Mouse, is your filter tuned and ready?”
“Yes, Sir, I am fully ready for restart.”
“Slow Ride, give us a smooth comfortable start up.”
“Yes, Sir,” Slow Ride answered as she initiated the restart sequence. I felt the slight vibration that always accompanied the start of our main gravity turbines. We all watched the main view screen as system statuses started to move towards the green.
“Wrong Way, lay a course in for the last planet the Sequoia was investigating. Science and Tactical, initiate long range scans lets see if we can gather any information.”
As the bridge began to bustle with activity, I waited for the engines to finish the cold start cycle. When the engines showed green across the board I gave the order, “Engage the drives.” I felt the smooth transition into powered flight. It felt good to be commanding a starship again, instead of a drifting hulk.
Phone call interrupted my good mood with an announcement. “Sir, I am receiving a short space distress beacon. It is coming from the surface of the planet we are on course for.”
“Is it a message?”
“No, Sir, it is the auto beacon from a life pod.”
“Send out a hail to it and let’s see if we get a reply.” I looked up at the navigation display. It was about a light year and a half to the planet. That meant ten days to travel there. It also meant about ten minutes for a short space message to get through. Long range scans would only give us information on bodies of planetary size at this distance. We would have to be within a light day to detect something as small as a ship.
The twenty minutes for a message to make the round trip seamed to drag on into days. I received a shock when we actually received a reply.
“This is Captain Furllow, of the UPS ship Sequoia. We have been stranded planet side after an altercation on board our ship. It’s good to hear a friendly voice, Ticonderoga, is there any chance of a pickup, we have twenty crew members surface side.”
“Phonecall, fire up the wormhole generator, I need to talk to Captain Furllow and this wait will drive me nuts.”
“Link established, Sir, talk when ready.”
“Captain Furllow, this is Captain Graves of the Ticonderoga. I am glad to hear you are alive and well. Can you give me a situation and status report?”
A moment later a distinguished looking gentlemen appeared on our main view screen. “You have no idea how glad we are to hear from you. I am not really sure what happen. I turned my command over to my second in command at end of shift then my bridge crew and I retired to the lounge to relax for a bit. We were going to make planet fall the next morning. We had a couple of drinks and I suddenly got very tired. We woke up in an escape pod in mid planet fall. My ship and crew were not on sensors. It is my feeling we were drugged and abandoned.”
“I have reason to believe your second in command has taken control of your ship.”
“Captain Graves, I need my ship back. My crew only had three hundred and fourteen days before our tour was over and we could head home.”
“We are on our way to pick you up and we will discuss options at that time.”
After the communications was cut, I turned towards Mighty Mouse and Marijuana. “Do we have any information?”
“Nothing out of the ordinary is showing up on scans,” my wife replied.
The waiting was driving me crazy. We were only a few hours away from the planet and still our scans had shown nothing. We had managed to verify the presence of the life pod on the planet. That was the only news we had received. We had maintained an open channel for Captain Furllow. His life pod did not have the communications upgrade.
I motioned to Phonecall to un-mute the channel, “Ticonderoga to castaways.”
“This is the castaways, Lieutenant Dotty speaking.”
“Dotty, please let Captain Furllow know it is time to pack your bags, we will make planetfall in four hours.”
“I will tell him immediately, Sir.”
As I was getting ready to sign off there was a massive lurch throughout the ship. This was followed by the sound of an explosion. Reports started coming in from all around the ship. Our number three nacelle had taken a direct hit from a torpedo. We were now spinning out of control. As we came around I saw the Sequoia looming over us. She must have hidden behind the gas giant and attacked when we passed.
“Target that ship and fire!” I barked out. We had come in with gunners in position. “Shields on full! Helm, get us under control!” We had gone from rescue to fight for our lives in less than a second.
Our first volley of torpedoes caught the Sequoia broadside. I looked over to see Mighty Mouse plugging in her monitor wire. “Mighty Mouse, wait until we establish communications.” She must have ignored me as I watched her slump forward against her console. “Phonecall, open a channel to the Sequoia and copy broadcasts to high command. Gunners, pound her shields until she signals her surrender.”
The ship that had attacked us was nearly twenty years older than ours. We had a good chance of crushing it completely. But I wanted the second in command and his wife alive. I also did not want to crush the ship if I could help it.
What happen next caught me completely by surprise. The impact of the torpedo on our opposite side rocked the ship. Our shields held but just barely. My tactical screen told the story. The Sequoia had three shuttles out and armed with torpedoes. The rigged launch tubes were slung under the craft. I watched a shuttle fire one of the torpedoes as Bumpy put us into a roll. I watched the screen as the torpedo skimmed along the bottom of my ship and headed straight for the Sequoia.
When my eye connected the path of the torpedo with its target I knew there was no other end. The torpedo went straight into the open shuttle bay of the Sequoia. The results were spectacular to say the least. The body of the craft was opened like a melon. How she remained intact enough to function at all was a miracle. She was no longer capable of any actions on her own.
My tactical station started barking maneuvers to deal with the shuttles. The fight had gone out of them. They were already signaling their surrender. Forty-five seconds into the fight and it was over.
Now, we had to clean up the mess. We had High Command and Captain Furllow both screaming for status reports. I watched on the screens as two of the shuttles started moving towards us and the third started to move away. My brain just managed to register the fact that something was wrong when my ship’s drives kicked in.
I spun to look at Mighty Mouse’s monitor. She had hijacked the computer and taken control of my ship. What was she doing? Then at the same time every monitor on the ship started flashing the words “Hold on”.
The snort drives suddenly powered to wide open. I could feel the ship protest as the drives were trying to rip her hull apart. Then my world turned inside out. The positions of the planets around us seemed to suddenly shift.
As I recovered my equilibrium, I looked up at the main screen. There was nothing but a wall of light back the way we had come from. I was watching the blast wave from a matter/anti-matter explosion. “Tactical, Report! How long before that blast wave reaches the planet?”
“Thirty-six minutes, Pig. I am also tracking the last of their shuttles. It is seven light seconds in front of the wave and running like its ass is on fire.”
“Its ass is on fire! Phone Call, send a sit rep and logs to High Command and open the channel to Captain Furllow. He has to lift off his people now. We have to scoop them up and run for our lives!”
“Sir, they will achieve orbit in twenty-two minutes.”
I slapped my com panel and called out to engineering. “Jazz Hands have the tow beams ready for an emergency grab. We are going to have one shot at this.”
“Sir, this is Goodwrench. Jazz Hands is not available. We will have those beams ready.”
“Where is Jazz Hands?”
“He is in the generator room, Sir.”
“Get those beams ready.”
“Yes, Sir.”
I closed the channel. If Jazz Hands has been nipping at the solvent again, I was going to strangle him. I fumed over that for a few minutes before I heard the report that the evac pods were lifting off from the surface of the planet. “Bumpy, plot us an intercept course to the shuttle. Keep us in front of the blast wave. I want the occupants of that shuttle alive.”
The first of the evac pods reached orbit. I opened the channel to engineering again. “Get those pods on board as fast as possible.”
“Yes, Sir.”
As I closed the channel I looked over at Mighty Mouse. She was still jacked into the console and out of body. I had no idea what she was doing but I hoped she knew.
As soon as the last pod was inside the shuttle bay, I gave the order. “Bumpy, get us moving now!”
I watched the throttles pushed forward and there was a moment of hesitation from the engines. Then we were moving on course to intercept the shuttle. Why had the engines hesitated? They had never acted that way before. I opened the channel to engineering again. “What is going on down there?”
“Sir, this is Goodwrench again. I need to report a casualty. Jazz Hands was in the core room when the engines engaged. I am registering no life signs.”
“What was he doing in the core room?”
“When the engines engaged at full power earlier without moving, it burned out the main transfer couplings. Jazz Hands was replacing them sir.”
My blood ran cold. I had lost one of my crew. I knew it would happen eventually but I was not ready to lose anyone. How can the captain of a ship ever be ready for that? “Why wasn’t I informed of the problem?”
“Jazz Hands ordered us not to inform you. He knew it would take him ten minutes to climb out after the couplings were replaced. If we had waited we would have been there when the blast wave hit.”
I sat back as the ship moved to intercept the shuttle. My mind was recoiling at the thought of telling his wife. Then a voice cut through the fog in my head.
“Captain Graves, I am pleased to meet you in person.”
I looked up to see Captain Furllow standing over me. I stood and took his hand. “I am glad we could be of assistance. Right now we are trying to catch that shuttle before the blast wave does. They are losing ground rapidly and are only a few seconds ahead of the wave.”
“Captain, I want the people on that shuttle as much as you do, I would not risk my ship and crew for their capture. Let the blast have them.”
Behind us the planet was roasted as the wave swept over it. The atmosphere boiled away and every living thing on the surface experienced temperatures in excess of a million degrees. “Those people are the only mutineers still alive. Their mutiny cost you your ship and crew. It cost me a member of my crew I considered a friend and family. Now they have cost a planet its life. I will have them or I will die trying to bring them to justice.” The intensity in my eyes made him draw back.
Bumpy broke the tension with his announcement. “Captain, we are pulling in front of the shuttle and will be in tow beam range in one minute.”
As soon as he finished speaking the ship seemed to lurch slightly and then the words “Go Now!” appeared on the main screen.
“Bumpy, pour on the speed! Get us out of here as fast as you can!”
As the ship accelerated to maximum speed Mighty Mouse spoke from behind me. “Captain, the prisoners are in the brig and Jazz Hands is in the medical lab.”
“Thank you, Mighty Mouse.” I said, then as what she said sank in I turned to look at her. She was smiling.
“Sorry, Captain, I did not have time to inform you. I teleported Jazz Hands out of the core room when the engines engaged. He has slight radiation burns and will need to be treated.”
“Thank you.” I said softly, as it sank in that this young woman had saved the life of my crew and crew members several times during this encounter. I then turned to Captain Furllow. “Captain, I believe we have some prisoners to interrogate. Would you care to join me?”
“I await the pleasure of this interview.”
A few minutes of time found a small group of us standing in front of the brig cell that contained the prisoners. It consisted of Captain Furllow, Mountain, Mighty Mouse, and myself. I looked into the cell to see William and Janet Kines sitting naked on the bench.
“Commander Kines, I am glad I get this chance to meet you. It seems we did not have a proper introduction when we first encountered each other. I am sure I do not have to inform you of the penalties attached to a charge of mutiny.”
William Kines looked up at me and smiled. “You cannot make a charge of mutiny stick. I was acting under orders from high command.”
“It seems your orders came through an unofficial channel. High command had no idea about your orders.”
“My orders came straight from the mouth of Admiral Tigrat himself.”
“Admiral Westland, did you get that last transmission?”
“Yes, Captain Graves, several MPs and I heard it.”
“Then I guess this interview is over. Captain Furllow, would you and your wife care to join us for dinner?”
“It would be an honor, Captain.”
Later we were all sitting around the Captain’s table in the dining area. “Captain Furllow, what are your plans for now?” I asked as I we waited for our dinner to be brought.
“That is an interesting question. I was looking forward to heading home. We only had a year left and then a long trip home. Now we either spend several years asleep in a short space pod or we stay as part of your crew and remain out here for fifteen more years. Captain, you will pardon me and my crew if we are a little down about this.”
“Mighty Mouse, do you think you can do it?”
“Yes, Sir, but we will have to have the couplings disconnected before I power up the engines.”
“Captain Furllow, what would you say if I told you we could get you home very quickly?”
“What do you mean by quickly?”
“That we will show you tomorrow.”
“This is painful, my crew and I were going to be the first successful return from going deep. Now we get to return home in disgrace, just another failed mission.”
“Your mission did not fail, Captain, it was betrayed from within. I am sure High Command will take that into account on your return.”
I was sitting at my desk in our quarters. Mighty Mouse and I had a plan. Now we just had to clear it with Admiral Westland.
“Captain, this is Nightwatch, your scrambled call to the admiral has gone through.”
“Transfer it to my quarters please.” It only took a second for the call to connect to my desktop monitor. “Admiral, I am aware it is highly unusual for us to place a call directly to you at your home. I need to explain what we are going to try tomorrow.” After a lengthy conversation the Admiral agreed that it was the best solution. The twenty extra people would put too large a strain on my ships supplies. We had to get them home.
After the communications was terminated I moved over and put my arms around my wife. “Baby, I love you.” I said softly and felt her melt against my chest.
“I love you too, Phillip. Take me to bed.”
“With all my heart.” I said as I scooped her up into my arms and carried her to our bed. I laid her gently in the bed and began to caress her through the silk nighty she wore. Her skin felt so smooth under my hands. I could hear the light sighs and moans that escaped her as she enjoyed my touch. I began to untie the bows that held her gown closed. With each small spreading of the silk I kissed the skin it revealed.
I could feel the heat of her skin rise as her passion began to burn. The aroma of her arousal began to fill my senses. I slid her nighty apart after untying the last bow. Then I caressed my hands down the skin of her sides and stomach. The light moan of passion that came from her built me higher. I began to kiss and lick her from head to foot. Every touch of my tongue would elicit a new sound of pleasure from her. In the weeks since we had admitted our love for each other our passion had grown. We were like newlyweds on our honeymoon. Every night we made love. That is what it was between us now. We both sought other companions for stress relief, but together we made love.
As my kisses and caresses intensified, she entwined her hands in my hair. I could feel her guiding me to what she wanted. I ran my tongue lightly along the lips of her pussy and listened to the inrush of breath into her lungs. No matter how hard she pulled my head towards her all I would give were fairy light touches and licks. I lifted her legs upward allowing me full access to her treasures. Then when her moans started turning into frustration I licked from her puckered rosebud to her clit.
“Oh God, Phillip!” She moaned out as she began to shudder and quake. Her nectar came to me in a flowing stream of sweetness. Her taste was like the purest ambrosia. I sucked her clit into my mouth and nipped at it lightly. Her small orgasm skyrocketed into the clouds. Her moans became cries of passion. When she started to relax I pushed my tongue deeply into her entrance and curled it upward. Several flicks of my tongue started her up that hill again. Soon she was moaning out my name and begging me to push her over. When I heard these pleas, I pushed my tongue deeply into her ass and she once again fell over into bliss. I rode the waves of her climax until she was starting to slow down then I pinched her clit between my fingers and stroked it with my middle finger. I could feel her start to stiffen again. When the rush came on her again, I pushed my tongue into her entrance and a finger into her rosebud. She went over into a cataclysmic climax. Her legs tried to clamp onto my head as she began to buck and try to get me off of her sensitive pussy. I held on and forced her to keep orgasming. She began to plead for me to release her. I began to stroke my finger in and out of her ass, as I worked her clit with my fingers and her pussy with my tongue. Within seconds she was pulling my hair and crying out. Then with a force of will strong enough to move mountains she spread her legs and grasped my ears. She knew I could not stay locked while she pulled on them. I gave up my feast as she pulled me up her body. We locked into a kiss full of passion and power.
I was in the perfect position. I felt her sudden exhalation of breath into my lungs as I thrust fully into her. Then she pulled her head back and moaned out her pleasure. My thrusts became urgent as I pushed her again into orgasm. I could feel her nectar running over me as she rode the tidal wave of our love making. Our passion had us kissing and thundering towards our conclusion. She pulled back from my kisses, then began to cry out, “Cum with me, Phillip! Give me your essence! Give me your passion!” I began to tense and my thrusts became erratic. We both were moaning out as we approached our climaxes. Then with one final thrust I buried my cock as deeply into her as I could. My cum flowed into her in spurts and waves as she cried out her orgasm.
In the afterglow of our lovemaking we snuggled and kissed. It felt so wonderful to be in her arms and to have hers around me. Somehow it made the place we were in so much more bearable. We talked through our days and relaxed. Then when we were both ready and cleaned up a little I walked over to the communications panel. After thumbing it to life I called the Med Lab. “Melons, is there any change in Jazz Hand’s condition?”
“No, Sir, he will finish radiation decontamination at zero-eight-twenty-three tomorrow.”
“Contact me if there is any change.” I then switched the channel to Mighty Mouse’s room. “It is clear for entrance.”
“Thank you, Sir.”
I had barely climbed back in the bed when Mighty Mouse entered our room in her pajamas. She climbed in the bed between us and we all wrapped our arms around each other. Just before I drifted off to sleep I heard my little mouse whisper. “Good night, Dad. Good night, Mom.”
We both mumbled, “Good night, sweetheart.”
“Admiral Westland, it is good to see you this morning. I see you have the command admiralty with you. May I speak freely?”
“We are the only people in the room. Speak freely.”
“What we are about to attempt must remain a secret among the admiralty right now. I am sure they understand the reason for it. Captain Furllow has volunteered to be or first subject. He refuses to risk any other member of his crew. M.D. Roberts has successfully short range teleported our entire ship on two occasions. This will be the first time she has tried a person through the wormhole link.”
“How sure is she that it will work?”
As admiral Westland spoke I heard the engines wind up. Then Captain Furllow disappeared from my office. It seemed like forever that we waited. Those two ticks of the old clock on the wall sounded like Thor’s hammer in my ears. Then just as suddenly the good captain was standing next to Admiral Westland. Everyone spoke at once. “Please, one question at a time.”
“Do you realize just what this could mean for our exploration efforts?” Admiral Westland asked softly as the others just stared at me through the view screen.
“I am well aware of what this can mean. It will now be possible to re-crew ships in deep space as well as give them supplies. The problem I have is that a certain Admiral has a grudge against me personally. This same admiral is in charge of the effort to build a psychic transport station. If he finds out that he can send people through, he could well send a boarding party directly to my ship. I wish the admiralty’s permission to blackmail him.” As I spoke the remaining crew members of the Sequoia began to disappear from the office and reappear one hundred and twenty six light years away in the command building.
“What do you mean “Blackmail” him?”
“The two leaders of the mutiny aboard the Sequoia that survived and were captured are his oldest daughter and her husband. Under our current command and law system I am autonomous while deep. That means I am the law onboard my ship. These two people are guilty of treason and mutiny. Those crimes carry some pretty stiff penalties. I will offer to suspend these penalties for his early retirement.”
“If we give you permission to do this we can have no knowledge of it.”
“Then we have an understanding. I will ask to speak to him alone. At the end of that conversation I will expect him to turn in his resignation letter.”
“We have not agreed to this. We need to know why we would want him to retire.”
“I will forward the logs from the Sequoia’s computer and some other communications between myself and the admiral. We can reconvene in two hours when you have had time to review the logs. If Admiral Tigrat is with you I will know your answer.”
The logs were sent and we closed the channel. After it was closed I contacted security and had them bring the prisoners to my bridge office. It only took a few minutes for them to be brought. Both were wearing shackle restraints. I watched as they were brought into the office and sat on the couch. I had them placed there so that they would be fully visible to the view screen. “Are you two both aware of the severity of the crimes you are guilty of?”
“As I said before, you cannot convict us of anything. We were acting under the orders of an admiral from High Command.” William Kines said with more than a little bit of arrogance in his voice.
“You seem to have forgotten something. We are deep, I am captain of this vessel, and therefore I am the law. I have more than enough evidence to have you both executed. Now all I need to do is decide the method of your punishment.” I watched as the fear suddenly set into Janet’s eyes. “I believe I will have Commander Kines executed via explosive decompression. Then as for Lieutenant Commander Kines, I will have her stripped of rank and used as a sex slave aboard the ship until we tire of her. Then I will use the matter recyclers reduce her to energy for our use.”
William tried to jump up from his seat on the couch. Before he could get fully to his feet, Mountain triggered his restraints. I watched as he fell and writhed on the floor as electricity arced along his body. When the device finished discharging I looked at Mountain. “Please place him back on the couch.”
Mountain roughly jerked him up off of the floor and pushed him back down onto the couch. I walked over and stood in front of them. “You abandoned the captain of your vessel on a planet with no hope of rescue. You attacked my ship without establishing communications or announcing any charges I was to be brought under. You also nearly cost a member of my crew his life. Give me one reason why I should be soft on you in any way?”
Janet was in tears. “Please, can’t you just put us in a short space pod, and send us back to Earth?”
“I would be better off abandoning you on a random planet with no communications! You almost killed a member of my crew! I should have you both thrown in the core room and the engines brought to power slowly! You expect mercy from me?” I stormed out of my office leaving the two of them there to think about what was going to happen. I had a crew member to be there for. Mountain and Everest would keep them in line.
My feet soon had me standing in front of the sickbay. Mighty Mouse had followed me and was only a step behind me. “Pig, you wouldn’t really do that to them, would you?”
“No, I wouldn’t do that to them, but they have to be afraid if this is going to work. You have a bad habit of eavesdropping.”
“I can’t help it. I can hear everyone on the ship’s thoughts all the time.”
I turned to look at her slowly. “Can you hear what the prisoners are thinking?”
“Yes, she is terrified and he is trying to plan how to kill you and escape.”
“What I am about to ask is very important. Can you talk to us with your mind?”
“I have never tried.”
“Try it with Mountain. Warn him about William.” She nodded and seemed to lose focus for a moment. Then she looked at me.
“I startled him a bit, but he knows now.”
“Thank you.” I turned and we went into the Med Lab to find Melons and Jazz Hands. As I approached his bedside he looked up at me.
“Captain, how did I get here? I expected to wake up in the last great unknown.”
“You had a guardian angel looking out for you. She yanked you out at the last instant.”
“How did she even know what I was doing? I gave all the engineering crew orders to keep you clueless until it was over.”
“You don’t want to know, and if you ever give that order again I am going to give you extra duties.”
“Yes, Sir.”
“For this infraction I am giving you three days off. You saved the ship, now go get some rest. When you get back your first duty is to redesign the main couplings. I want to be able to disengage them by remote from the bridge. We also need to be able to fire up the backup generators and leave them uncoupled. I want Mighty Mouse to have all the power she needs at command.”
“Yes, sir.”
“Good, now as soon as the doctor releases you, you are to take a three day vacation with your wife. Yes she gets to share in your punishment.”
“Yes, sir, and thank you.”
“I am not the one you should be thanking.”
Jazz Hands turned to look at Mighty Mouse. “Thank you, I am truly grateful.”
“You are more than welcome.”
I was sitting in my office again. William was lying on the floor with fresh bruises just starting to show. Mountain had reported that he had tried to attack them. I figured the bruises would look good for my little act. Then the call came in.
“Captain, the admiralty is on channel and waiting.”
“Thank you, Phone Call, please forward it to my office.” I waited the few seconds it took for the screen to become active. I almost jumped for joy when I say Admiral Tigrat among them. “Good Morning, Sirs. I have asked for this conference to inform you of my decision regarding the charges of Mutiny and High Treason against William and Janet Kines.” I watched as Admiral Tigrat paled in the background. “It is my decision that William is to be executed in one hour in the method of explosive decompression. Janet will serve an indeterminate sentence as sex slave aboard this ship until we tire of her. Then she will be executed by total energy conversion.”
“You can’t!” Admiral Tigrat started to say but was cut off by Admiral Westland.
“I am afraid he can. He has autonomous power while deep. It is his right and power to uphold the laws as he sees fit. I assume you have evidence to support the charges?”
“Yes, Sir, I have the logs from the Sequoia. They detail the contact between these two and one of the admiralty staff. They also detail the events of the mutiny and our own logs detail the events of the attack on this ship.”
“We will expect a full report with your weekly check in.”
“It will be forwarded, Sir.”
“It is customary for the condemned to get a last visitation with family. May we ask this mercy from you?”
“I would not consider myself a captain if I was cruel about this sentence. Might I suggest you step out of the room so that Admiral Tigrat can say goodbye to he oldest daughter and her husband?” I watched as the admiralty stepped out of the room leaving Admiral Tigrat at my mercy. Once they were clear of the room I spoke openly. “It seems, Admiral Tigrat, that you have misjudged me and my crew and now your daughter and son-in-law are going to pay the price.”
“Please, Phillip?”
“Please what? Please spare them from your attack? Please spare them from the crimes they committed in your name? Why would I do that?”
“Phillip…”
“I am Captain Graves to you. You have no right to call me by my first name.”
I watched as he seemed to swallow and nearly choke on the words. “Captain Graves, please put them in a pod and send them home to me.”
“What do I get out of that? Then you will just contact some other loyal clown and send them after me. I am tired of watching over my shoulder for your traps. As long as your daughter is on my ship we will be safe from your attacks. Besides, I have not had the pleasure of this daughter. I am sure she will be a most attentive slave. Imagine those lips wrapped around my…”
“Please, I will do anything.”
My mind jumped in elation. I had found his weakness. His family was his Achilles heel. “So if I return your family to you then you will tender your resignation? I want to see you resign in disgrace.”
“I… I….”
“Mountain please escort Mister Kines to airlock one. Everest please take Missus Kines down to the lounge and outfit her with her collar.”
“Wait! I will do it.”
“Sit down and type up the letter of resignation, now. Hold it up to the screen, when you are done, so I can read it. If it leaves the camera view after I have read it, I will terminate the call and proceed with the punishment.” I watched as he typed up his letter. In my mind I was dancing. I had Tigrat over a barrel. If he refused he would lose his family forever. I would let his daughter contact them and tell them he refused her safety for his career. If he did it his career was over.
The Admiral finished his letter in only a few minutes then held it up to the screen. I read through it and found it all in order. Then I invited him to ask the other admirals to return to the room. “Oh and, Admiral, you might want to note that the recording station is off. So any claim of duress for your resignation will have no support.”
I watched the admiral growl as he called out to the others. Within seconds they were standing in front of the view screen again. “It seems that Admiral Tigrat has offered his resignation to spare the lives of his Daughter and Son-in-law. I have graciously accepted. I am afraid Admiral Tigrat I will have to forgo my promise of being there at your retirement party.”
It was Admiral coffee that spoke first. “You do realize Admiral Tigrat that if we accept this it is irrevocable. You also will only retire on half pension.”
“Yes, Robert, I understand. I would do anything to ensure my family’s lives.”
I interrupted the talk at the far end. “May I make a request?”
“Certainly, Captain, What is your request?”
“I would like to have the admiral’s resignation refused, and he allowed to retire in the normal course of time with full pension. I do not believe his family should be made to suffer.”
All of the admirals looked at me in surprise.
“Maybe I should explain. I feel I owe my present position to the trust the admiral showed in me when he promoted me and gave me the command of this ship. As such I feel the admiral should be forgiven for any part in this and allowed to continue his duties. It is my understanding that the Liskian home world is in need of an ambassadorial presence. It is my belief that he will fit that position admirably.”
I waited as they all absorbed what I had said. Then Admiral Tigrat spoke softly. “Why?”
“Admiral, I am not a vengeful man. I just want you to let me do my job and explore. We had an agreement at one time. Please allow me to die my bloody death at my own hand.”
I looked upward and called out. “Mighty Mouse, send them home.” Within seconds the engines had wound up and the two prisoners disappeared. I then turned to the view screen again. “Admiral, I and my crew are in enough danger out here. Let us face it. I cannot speak for Captain Furllow, he may well still wish to press charges for the loss of his ship and crew.” As I spoke the two people appeared among the admiralty.
Admiral Tigrat looked at me through the view screen. “Captain Graves, I believe we have an understanding.” He then turned to the other admirals. “I would accept the post as Liskian embassador, if it is offered.”
After Mountain and Everest had left my office, Mighty Mouse entered. “May I ask a question about why you did not press your advantage on the Admiral?”
“You can ask.” I said with a small smirk. She stood there waiting for my answer then she started to giggle.
“Why didn’t you press your advantage? You had him nailed to the wall and he knew it.”
“If I had pressed it he could have called duress. Even without logs for evidence the facts would have been compelling. There is an aspect of this though you are forgetting.”
“I understand that Captain Furllow may press the issue.”
“You went through the crew roster. Who is Captain Furllow’s father.”
“He is the current president of the United Planets.”
“What exactly do you think is going to happen to Admiral Tigrat when the president gets word that the admiral tried to have his son abandoned on a planet?”
“Oh my!”
“Exactly, I do not believe that the Admiral is going to be an ambassador. It is a lot more likely he is going to be In charge of garbage disposal or sewage system maintenance.” I said as I headed for the door to my office.
I walked onto the bridge. “Bumpy, what is our next target of opportunity?”
“There is a habitable world around a star four light years away.”
“Point and click, Bumpy.”
“Yes. Sir.”

CAW 17 entry – Drifting

The ship rocked in space. I had no idea what was happening but the evacuation alarm had been triggered. I was running for the life pods for all I was worth. Again that rocking sensation this time so hard it threw me to the floor. Then the deck started to vibrate and shake as if we were in a planet quake. People ran and screamed around me. Then the sound of an explosion pealed through the hull.
It took everything I had not to panic. I was an officer in the navy. It was my duty to be strong for the enlisted men. My assigned life pod was only a few hundred feet away. I had to get there to make sure everyone was on board, and it was not launched early.
I could see the life pod door a few feet in front of me. I tried to keep my head as I climbed to my feet and moved towards the door. Once there I climbed inside and began to strap myself into the pilot’s chair. The rules of naval service said the first one in the pod had to start the checks.
As I was running through the checks a young blonde woman sat in the copilot’s seat. “Lieutenant, I have green across the board,” she said in a calm voice.
“We are a go for launch, as soon as we fill up.” I said as the launch doors slid open in front of us. These pods were designed to support twenty people for thirty days. They had very limited drive capabilities. They could make light speed but out here in deep space light speed was not very fast. Distances between stars would take years at that speed.
I looked up into the rear view as people started to move towards the entrance to the pod. Then suddenly there was a roar as the hallway opened to space. The auto doors slammed shut and the pod self initiated launch. I could hear the woman next to me scream as the realization of what had happened sank into her soul. Then mind numbing acceleration accompanied by a rocking sensation as the lifeboat struck something on the way out. The ship had used its booster engines to launch us out of the birth. That would only happen if life had been detected on the pod and the attaching hallway had been compromised.
The small pod rotated lazily as we were propelled away from our ship. I watched in horror as the ENS Scotland came into view. She was burning in space. The drive section was nothing but debris. The launch deck was in ruins. The worst thing I could see was we were the only life pod streaking away from the ship. I held hope that the ship would remain intact enough to save some of the crew. Then the explosions started along the seven mile length of the great carrier.
The Scotland was ripped into pieces. There would be no other life pods. I turned to see the young woman beside me, she was a buck spaceman. She was also crying openly and wailing. “Tighten up, recruit!” I ordered quickly.
She pulled her hands away from her face and sat at attention, “Yes, Sir”
“We have to run through the post launch checks and gauge our situation. There will be time for grief while we wait for the rescue ships.”
“Yes, Sir,” she said as she started to go through the copilot’s checks.
Slowly the attitude jets brought our rotation under control and the ruin of the Scotland was left behind us and out of view. We were drifting at ejection speed. That would put ten kilometers between us and the wreckage every second. We would travel thirty-six thousand kilometers every hour.
I started through my post launch checks. The engines reported some odd numbers but they were nothing to worry about now. Energy reserves were perfect and holding. Pressurization was stable. Atmospheric scrubbers reported at full function. Each system I checked was reporting functionality until I got into communications.
I was staring at my monitors in disbelief. The communications array had not responded to my checks. I used the outside cameras to check for damage. What I saw made my spine go numb. The array had been torn off by whatever we had hit. We had no way of even telling people we had survived. I did the only thing I could think of. I could not let her know we would die out here after a long drift through space. She had to keep hope as long as possible. I activated the solar collectors and as they deployed they hid the damage from the cameras.
I waited for her to finish the copilot’s checks, she had all the internal supplies and functions. She did report a few of the narcotic level drugs had been pilfered. This was actually pretty typical. No matter how secure you made the life pods, someone found a way to get in and steal a few items for recreation. The secondary catch could only be accessed after launch and it was intact.
I turned to her when we were done. We were going to have to get comfortable around each other. “My name is Jonathan Kraken, My friends call me John. May I have your name?” I asked as we finished our checks.
“Regina Wilder, Sir. My friends call me Reggie.”
“Well, Reggie, we are going to be alone together for at least a month while we wait for pickup. So I think we can be friends. We need to maintain military protocol for survival but, I think we can dispense with the sir and recruit stuff for now.”
“Thank you. This was my first trip out. I only joined to save money for college and now I am going to die out here.” Her grief rolled to the top and she again began to cry.
I unbuckled myself and moved over to her chair. I could not remember any protocols from the officer’s handbook on how to handle crying recruits. I did the only thing I could think of and put my arms around her. She suddenly clung to me as if I was her lifeline. “Reggie, we will be picked up soon. You made it and you are alive.”
She cried against my chest for what seemed like hours. When her sobs and tears started to taper off, I looked down into her eyes. “Now we need to take stock of our situation and get changed out of our uniforms into survival suits. I will turn my back when you change.”
“I don’t think that will be needed, we are going to be together here for a while and modesty is going to have to go out the window. We have one room, I am sure we are going to see each other at our worst in the next month.”
“As a gentleman, I would not feel right seeing you naked unless the situation called for it. I am going to insist on giving you as much privacy as I can. Now let’s get changed into our survival suits so the pod can monitor our life signs and keep track of them.”
I did turn my back but unfortunately that put the rear monitor mirror right in my line of sight. At the risk of losing my gentleman standing, she had one lovely rear. I couldn’t help but watch as her body came into view. She removed her uniform and folded each piece as she stowed it in one of the lockers. Her blonde hair ran down her back like a silken ribbon. When she removed her bra, her breasts stayed firm and high on her chest. They were just pleasantly large. I nearly gasped when her nipples stiffened from the cool air in the room.
When she dropped her pants, to reveal one of the laciest pair of thong underwear I had ever seen, I nearly moaned out loud. Her legs were perfectly muscled. They were the legs of a person that loved to dance. Then she turned as she adjusted her panties, I was treated to the sight of a perfectly groomed patch of blond hair. I could only think of it as a patch of heaven. I had to turn away from the mirror and close my eyes. If I didn’t, I was going to make a noise and give my voyeurism away.
I waited patiently until she told me she was dressed. When I turned and opened my eyes she was dressed in the black tight fitting survival suit. Her bright blue eyes were almost smiling. She moved past me into the copilot’s seat and sat so I could change.
I stripped down completely and folded my uniform to place it in storage. I turned to gather my survival suit out of the locker and looked into the mirror. She had adjusted the mirror so she could see me. I could see her blushing cheeks as she grew embarrassed at getting caught. I simply smiled and went back to putting my suit on.
When I finished changing she moved over to me and we started going through the inventory. We had the energy to run the matter reorganizer for three hundred days. Food would be no problem. The life pod was designed to support twenty people for thirty days. We had enough supplies and equipment to last two people three hundred days. The only thing we had to do was occupy ourselves.
I could not bring myself to crush the hope she felt. I could not tell her our beacon was destroyed and there was no way for the rescue ships to find us. The only thing we had was our on board short range radio. It was meant to communicate from pod to pod. It weighed heavy on my mind. The fact that in a little less than a year we would be memories was too dreadful for her to hear. Our families would hear of our deaths long before we saw them.
I sat in the pilot’s chair for hours just scanning to see if any other short range radios were calling out. All I received was dead air. Not a peep was out there for us to hear. After a simple meal and some small talk we retired to sleep. I pulled down two bunks while she gathered blankets and pillows out of the lockers. We made our bunks ready for sleep. I felt a little self conscious as I stripped down to climb into my bunk. I did not even bother with underwear. I started to move to the sonic washer to clean up before bed. When I turned I came face to face with a naked blonde goddess. “Sorry,” I mumbled as I turned to look away.
“John, you might as well get used to it. We are going to be here for a while and we cannot spend all that time being shy and refusing to look at each other.”
“I am trained to be an officer. It is un-gentleman-like for me to see you. I will wait until you are finished, to use the sonic.”
“Thank you,” she said softly as she moved towards the small booth. Once she had the door closed I relaxed and started to move about the cabin again. We had a lot of extra blankets and supplies. I took the time to string some blankets up around the two bunks so we could have some private areas. This was more for my peace of mind than hers. If I had to see that body day in and day out for the rest of my life I was going to go crazy.
She looked at me quizzically when she stepped out of the booth. “You are trying to be a true gentleman. Thank you.” She said softly as I headed for the bunk. I stepped into the sonic and adjusted the controls for standard clean.
Finally I unpacked a mouth attachment and used it to clean my teeth and breath. As I was putting my attachment in my designated spot in the rack I noticed the female’s attachment in her rack. The very thought of where that had most recently been caused very un-gentlemanly vision in my head. I was going to have a problem if this kept up. I may have to take some of the drugs designed to decrease libido.
I lay quietly in my bunk trying to sleep. Too many things were running through my mind. I was trying to figure out how to send a signal. One good thing had come from my thinking things through. Since I had deployed the solar collectors we would have more energy and be able to live longer. If that one thought could actually be considered a good thing.
As I lay there I heard Reggie sigh and sob. She was upset. I could understand that. Everyone she had served with was dead. I lay there listening to her cry and the man inside me demanded I give her some comfort. I quietly got up from my bunk and crossed the cabin to her curtain. I paused, still listening. Would she think I was trying to hurt her? Would I cause her fear if I entered? Not once in my thinking did the fact that I was naked come to my mind.
Finally I had listened to her pain enough and I had to try and sooth it. I pushed the curtain aside and moved to her bunk. When she felt me lift the blanket, she stifled her sobs and tensed. “I am not here to hurt you,” I whispered into the darkness. “I only offer my arms as comfort.”
I saw her turn in the darkness. She looked up at me then moved back further onto the bunk. I climbed under the blanket and took her into my arms. She sobbed quietly against my chest late into the night. Finally I felt her breathing even out and her sobs softly fade as she drifted into sleep. I would not find sleep so easily. I had the same grief she did and an armful of the most attractive woman I had been in bed with, ever.
I woke in the morning with her still in my arms. She was smiling up at me with an honest smile of gratitude. “Thank you,” she said softly as she snuggled down and placed her head on my chest.
“We really do need to get up and run our morning checks. Then we need to do our exercises and eat breakfast.”
“I know. I just feel so safe here. Just give me a few more minutes.”
I lay there with her in my arms trying very hard not to think of her nearly naked body pressed to mine. The heat from her body was so inviting. Her leg intertwined in mine felt like the touch of silk. Her breath blowing across my chest felt like a liquid wind. I could imagine the heat of her silky pussy wrapped around me as I slid in and out. I had to pinch myself to change my train of thought. My thoughts were starting to become evident in my reaction. I was shocked at myself. We were in a life and death situation and I was having thoughts about an enlisted rank person.
I climbed out of the bunk and moved over to start putting my survival suit back on. I was mentally berating myself for my thoughts. I had to gain control over these lustful feelings. She did not need me to take advantage of her vulnerability.
The day passed without any incident. We were adrift in deep space — what could happen? I checked the star charts against our position. Our maximum speed was light speed. The nearest star system was four years away. There was no sense in even firing up the engines. We would be long dead and out of energy before we got to the system. All it would do is, shorten our lifespan.
Reggie came and sat in the copilot’s seat. She looked over at me; I guess I don’t have a poker face. “Tell me the truth, John. How bad are we?”
I looked at her; the truth was something she deserved. “Our communications array was smashed during our launch. We do not have the energy to get to the nearest star system. We have enough energy to live for another two hundred and ninety-nine days.”
“You showed me not to give up hope. Now it is my turn to show you the same thing. They will come and they will search for survivors. We will be rescued and we will go home again.”
I looked into those eyes. Those deep eyes that were made to capture a man’s soul and enslave him. “You’re right, let’s make our log entries and then we can retire for the night.”
“You get to use the sonic first tonight,” she said with a little bit of mirth in her voice.
I stepped out of the sonic to see that the curtains I had rigged were gone. I started to say something but she stopped me. “If we are going to sleep in the same bed the curtains are really kind of useless.” Then she squeezed past me and into the sonic.
I moved over and lay down on the bunk. I had not intended to sleep next to her again tonight. I was not sure my heart and body could take it. I did have to admit that her body felt good, spooned against mine. Again I cut my thoughts off. This was leading me into a line of thought that would end up embarrassing both of us. I started thinking about anything ugly so I could halt the reaction happening in my groin.
I heard her step out of the sonic and then the lights in the cabin turned low. I felt and heard her as she climbed into the bunk beside me. She smelled so fresh and clean. Her scent was like dew kissed flowers in the spring. I could only imagine what the scent of her arousal would smell like. Again I slammed a lid on my thoughts. The next few months were going to torture me.
When her body spooned up to mine I could feel my cock rub along the crack of that heavenly ass. That caused me to tense up. She had no panties on. There was no barrier between her and I. I could not stop my thoughts this time. I could feel the stirring.
I felt her push back against me as she spoke softly. “Does the comfort you offer stop with sleep?”
“I can’t. I have to remain an officer. If I take advantage of you, I end my own honor.”
She turned over and looked into my eyes. This made my situation worse. Now my rapidly hardening cock was lodged between her legs. I could feel her pussy caressing the top of my staff. “John, we are going to be here a while. I am going to want the comfort of a man. When we are rescued no one will ever know anything happened between us. Please take me in your arms and make love to me.”
“Please don’t ask me that. I do not know how my willpower will fare if you are willing.”
“John, please make love to me as long and as often as you can.”
My will crumbled into pieces on the floor. I pulled her face to mine and took her lips into my possession. Her mouth opened to accept me. I pushed my tongue into her mouth and tasted the sweet breath of an angel. I could feel her moisture building where my cock was pressed under her sweet pussy. She wanted this as badly as I did. I reached my hand to her breast and began to caress and massage it. I could feel her moan in my throat as she enjoyed the pleasure of my touch.
Then I felt her dainty hand wrap around the base of my cock. She lifted her leg and began to rub me along her clit and lips. The sensation had my precum leaking like a river. She was so wet and ready I could have pushed into her right then and she would have accepted me with ease.
She began to push me over onto my back and I went willingly. I watched in awe as the body of this young goddess moved over the top of me. I could feel her hands positioning me for entrance. We were both so wet with our need that our joining was going to be smooth. The amazing sensation of her tight pussy stretching to accommodate my cock filled my senses.
She rose and fell with very short strokes only allowing the head of my prick to enter her. The sensation was driving me crazy. In a sudden movement she dropped onto me. I was driven halfway into her as she suddenly froze and bit her bottom lip. The incredible heat from her loins had me wanting to drive into her with abandon. I looked down to where we were joined as she slowly started to rise. The dark stains on my cock suddenly screamed volumes to me. “You were a virgin?”
She nodded as she dropped her weight onto me again embedding me fully inside her. The whimper of pain tore at my soul. I had caused this girl pain, the one thing I never wanted to do.
“You should have told me.”
“You would have stopped me. John, I don’t want to float through space for an unknown time, maybe even to my death, and die without knowing the pleasures of a man.”
I felt her rise and fall again, just a little. This caused her to make a light growling sound in her throat that almost sounded like a purr. It also caused her to try it again. Soon she was thrusting up and down on my cock as if it was the only thing she ever wanted. I felt her start to quiver lightly and could tell she was headed towards an orgasm. I wet one of my fingers and slid it down to caress her clit. That one touch set her off and she suddenly screamed out her climax. She writhed her pleasure out and leaned back arching her breasts high in the air. I reached up as she started to relax out of her orgasm and pinched one of her nipples. She let out a moan like a wounded animal and immediately rocketed back into her orgasm.
When she came down this time she collapsed onto my chest and sobbed. “That was incredible.”
I smiled up at her and began to rock my hips. I put my hands behind her head and pulled her in for a kiss. I was going to do as she asked and make love to this woman. This little goddess would become my lover for as long as we had. Within a few thrusts I could feel her panting into my mouth. Her hands entwined in my hair and she started to hold me to her as tight as I held her. Again I felt her body begin to quiver and she started to moan into my lungs. I felt her pussy clamp down onto my cock as we both rocketed into our orgasms. In my twenty-eight years of life I had never had such an intense orgasm. It felt to me like I had released a gallon of cum inside her hot body. As our orgasms subsided we continued to kiss and hold each other.
We kissed and made love several times that night and many times over the next few days. A week after the accident I was sitting naked in the pilot’s chair checking our energy monitor. The solar collectors were actually helping us out with energy. Though we were four light years from the closest star there was a large cluster behind us. The combined light was regenerating our energy as fast as we used it.
If the pod had been full this would only extend us a few days. But the low drain on the power cells from two people was less than the collectors collected. Was this good news or bad? At our drift speed we were centuries away from the system ahead. But maybe just maybe there was a chance. If we could fire the engines just long enough to get us to light speed and then shut them off we could coast for months before needing to fire them again. I started running the calculations.
“Baby, I think there is a way for us to maximize our chance for survival.”
“How?”, she asked as she looked up from making us dinner.
“The solar collectors are collecting energy. If we use the energy in short bursts to drive the engines, we can make it to that system in seven years and still have the energy to survive that long.”
“I will start the engine checks after we eat.”
Reggie was going through the engine checks and doing a visual inspection with the cameras. We both saw the damage to the drives and knew what it meant. “If we fire them up they could explode.”
“Yes, Baby, they could. They could also throw us so far off course we could never recover.”
“What do we do?”
“We wait until we have been drifting for sixty days then we decide again.”
Days passed. Amazingly boredom did not set in. Reggie had a way of making up things to do. She was adventurous as hell when it came to sex. We even shut the gravity off and made love in zero-g. By the time thirty days had passed we had made love on every surface in the cabin.
I woke up on the morning of the thirty first day to find Reggie crying softly to herself in the co-pilot’s chair. “What’s wrong, Baby?”
She held the health scan report out to me and I looked it over. The consequences of our actions slammed home. She was pregnant.
“My implant failed. When I realized I had not cycled this month I ran a check. I am so sorry, John.”
I don’t know how she expected me to react. I could see the fear in her eyes. I reached out and scooped her into my arms and started kissing her. She had just given me the ultimate reason to run the risk of the engines. I would take any risk to save our child. I kissed her and she started to giggle.
“You’re not mad.”
“No, My Love, I am definitely not mad. But now I have a serious question to ask you.”
“What?” She asked as the fear crept back into her eyes.
“I wanted to do this right,” I said as I started rummaging through the tools and supplies. I found a coupling ring that was the right size and it was the best I could do. I turned to her and dropped onto one knee. “Regina Wilder, would you consent to take my hand and hold it for the rest of our lives?” I extended my hand, with the coupling ring in it, out to her.
She looked at me in shock. “You know that your career will be ruined when we are rescued.”
“I don’t care. I will spend the rest of my life following you like a lost puppy.”
She dropped down onto her knees and extended her hand out. “I love you, John. I would be happy to give the rest of my life to you.”
I slid the ring onto her finger and then we fell into an embrace. Our kisses rapidly heated and my excitement rose. Then she pushed me backwards and started kissing her way down my chest. When her hot mouth reached my raging cock I nearly jumped. The touch of her lips felt like heaven. I was not going to last long as her tongue caressed the underside of my head. I felt her push her head downward, impaling her mouth on my stiff shaft. Then she started to hum deep in her throat. That pushed me rapidly to my peak. My release flooded into her mouth as she swallowed. The rhythmic pulses of her throat kept me going much longer than ever before. I felt weak when she finally let me out of the delightful prison of her mouth.
I lay there and recovered as she snuggled against my chest. When my strength returned I stood and scooped her up into my arms. I moved us to the bunk and lay her across it. I did not wait; I was way too ready for that to be a possibility. I just dove, face first, into heaven. I began to kiss her pussy lips and lick her clit like an animal. My tongue explored every part of her front and back. She was quivering and shaking constantly within minutes. Then she locked her hands in my hair and started to scream out her pleasure. I felt her body go rigid as she started trying to push me away. “Please! Oh God please!”, she cried out as her body started to convulse. I felt her hands knot in my hair as she tried with all her might to pull my lust filled mouth away from her. Then she screamed out and convulsed as her legs slammed shut on the sides of my head. “John!”, she moaned as she lost control of her body and writhed. Soon she was whimpering with the slightest touch.
I stood and she looked up at me with a mixture of fear and lust in her eyes. I lined my cock up at her entrance and plunged into her depths with one stroke. She screamed out as she felt herself completely full instantly. Then I let myself go and started to pump into her depths for all I was worth. Over and over she cried out as her over sensitive pussy bore my assault. She quivered and shook with every thrust as her body stayed in a constant state of orgasm for the next ten minutes. I was so lost in her sounds and begging that I took forever to build to my release. Then with a cry like an enraged animal I thrust into her and pumped my seed until it flowed out around me.
We lay in the afterglow of our loving as she slowly relaxed. I was not aware of what I was going to do until after she fell asleep. I moved off the bunk and headed for the airlock. I gathered one of the space suits and tool bags out of the locker and got dressed for my spacewalk. I had to see if the drives could be repaired. I was no engineer but I had to try.
I worked in the silence of space for a couple hours as I tried to get the broken module to come loose.
“John, what are you doing out there?” Reggie’s voice asked in my helmet.
“I am checking the damage and seeing if I can repair it.”
“I will be out to help you in a few seconds. Let me finish suiting up.”
I continued to work, I had the module ready to disconnect. I slid the tool under the part and started to disconnect it. Electricity slammed through my body and I jerked. The last thing I remember seeing was my tether wire burning through as I bounced away from the pod. My last clear thought before my mind fled to the blackness of space was that my wife and child would have longer to live now.
“John! Can you hear me?”, a voice kept yelling in my ear. I reached up to remove my helmet to try and get the buzzing out of my ears. “John! Stop! The airlock is still cycling. Do not remove your helmet.”
I froze as memories started to flood back. “How?”
“I was coming out of the airlock when you were electrocuted. I just jumped after you and grabbed you. My tether held and I hauled us back into the airlock. There is no way I am letting you out of being my husband that easily.”
I tried to smile up at her. The inner airlock door opened and she started to remove my helmet. “We need to get you onto the med couch and do a scan. You suit was damaged pretty badly but I think it took the brunt of it.” She helped me out of the suit and when I stood I saw what she meant. The outside of the suit was blackened and all of the electronics were fried.
She moved me to the med couch and helped me to lie down. The med couch scanned me and recommended muscle relaxers and bed rest for ten days. Reggie started laughing with relief. “Don’t you ever do that to me again. If I didn’t wake up when I did, you would be lost right now.”
“Yes, ma’am,” I said with as sheepish a look as I could muster.
She looked at me, “I am not kidding, do not make me ditch the ship to come looking for you.”
The next ten days passed in a haze of muscle pains. Reggie took care of me until she was exhausted. I woke on the eleventh day a bit stiff but able to move around. Reggie was asleep in the copilot’s chair. I made breakfast for her and gathered it on a tray. I fastened it to the armrest before I woke her up. “Drink your coffee and eat, Love.” I said softly as she opened her eyes.
She smiled up at me then giggled as she said, “If you keep doing things like this you are going to spoil me.”
“You need to be spoiled.”
“What are we going to do if we are rescued? I will be relieved of duty because I am pregnant and they will know you are the father. I don’t want you to lose your career.”
“We can cross those bridges WHEN we are rescued.”
“John, we have to face reality. It has been forty-one days since the explosion. They give up the search after sixty days. Command is probably already doing the paperwork to declare us dead. Because of the solar collectors, we can live here indefinitely. We now have a child to worry about.” The weight of our situation tumbled down on her and she began to cry.
I took my wife in my arms and held her to my chest. “Baby, the one thing we cannot do is give up hope. There is a shipping lane that passes through that system. In a few more days we will decide if we are ready to risk the engines and start the process.”
“I don’t want our son to be raised in this little cabin. That is not the kind of life he deserves.”
“Then we have already decided, on day sixty-one we fire up the engines and make for that system.”
It was now day number sixty. The long time ahead of us was starting to set in. We talked late into the night and reaffirmed our decision. We were going to fire up the drives in the morning. We made love late into the night and fell into the sleep of the exhausted.
“This is the Angel of Mercy, calling Scotland pod zero-one-four. Scotland pod please respond.” The short range radio crackled as we slept. It repeated this message several times before falling quiet.
I woke in the morning and made breakfast for my wife before I woke her. Once we had eaten and went through our morning exercises, we started the morning checks. I could tell the time was weighing on us. We had quit double checking all the supplies. Who was going to take an extra ration of something? If something disappeared we both would know who did it.
We both used the sonic this morning because we wanted to be fresh and clean for what we were going to do. No man should face their death with racing stripes in his underwear. We sat down and watched a movie to relax and get our minds ready for that one single switch we had to flip. I had already pre-programmed the firing sequence for the drives. Once I flipped the switch we would either accelerate towards that star in the distance or we would go out in a blaze of glory.
Our designated hour came to us. It had now been exactly sixty-one days since our evacuation. The search had been called off twenty-four hours ago.
We moved to the front of the ship to get ready. Both of us were quiet. We knew the risks. So many things could go wrong. I leaned in and kissed Reggie as we arrived near the seats. I did not want to let go.
We were sitting in the chairs ready to engage the engines. We had started the pre-flights and had the power feeds on-line. I was about to initiate the pre-programmed sequence burn when I saw the radio contact light flashing. At first I just sat there staring at it. The flash looked like a heartbeat of hope. A tear threatened to come to my eye. That was the first thing I had seen in a long time that made the deepest part of my heart actually dare to hope.
Reggie looked over at me and saw the moisture in my eyes. “Baby, we have to do this. For good or ill we cannot float out here forever. She started to reach over and flip the drive switch. I reached out with my hand and captured hers. Then with the wonder of a child I pointed to the little light.
Flash!
Flash!
Flash!
Flash!
Reggie made a sound in her throat that sounded like a strangled whimper. I could see the tears flow into her eyes and the hope and fear that played there. Like me she was afraid to touch the switch and call out. If it was a false reading we would both be crushed. Our newfound hope would crumble into dust and take our souls with it. It hurt physically to lift my arm and reach for that switch. I so wanted this to be real.
Flash!
Flash!
Flash!
Flash!
I reached past Reggie and flipped the switch to broadcast. “This is Scotland pod zero-one-four, is someone out there?” As I waited and nothing came back from the silence of space I realized that the light had quit flashing. My hopes were dying with that light. It had been a false alarm and I had fallen for it. I turned back to my console filled with doubt. This felt like an omen of what was going to happen when we flipped the switch to start the drives.
My hand hovered over the switch as Reggie cried softly next to me. I lifted the safety cover and turned the safety key. Just one more push and it would be over.
“Scotland pod, this is the Angel of Mercy. It is good to hear from you. We are about eight hours from your position. That was one smart move deploying the solar collectors. We never would have found you if they had not been reflecting the sunlight from the cluster.”
At first I sat there in shock, was my imagination playing tricks on me. I looked over at Reggie and her eyes were screaming out her joy even as they were flooded with tears. She had heard the voice of an angel as well. I closed the safety cover on the ignition switch and locked the key back. Then with deliberate care I reached over and held the talk switch up to transmit. “Angel of Mercy, it is really good to hear from you. Please tell me this is not a dream and you are really there.”
“We will make link up with your pod in just over eight hours. How many survivors do you have on board?”
“We have two survivors, Spaceman Regina Wilder and Lieutenant Jonathan Kraken. I am transferring our logs. I need them relayed to command for disposition.”
“They will be relayed. Command is anxious to speak with you. We have been ordered to take you directly to station one-nine-zero as soon as we have you on board.”
“We will be waiting.”
I shut off the transmitter and looked down at my angel. She had questions in her eyes. “Why did you forward our logs?”
“I do not just want you as my wife here. I want you as my wife forever. I cannot have that in secret.”
“Those logs will end your career.”
“A career without you would be meaningless.”
She looked up into my eyes with tears in hers. I was so afraid she would now reject me. Then her hand slowly reached out and took mine. She pulled me down and began to kiss me with a passion so fierce it was awesome. We were still lying in our bunk when the airlock opened and the commander of the Angel of Mercy stepped on board.
“Lieutenant Kraken, Spaceman Wilder, I have orders to take you into isolated custody and transport you to the station. Admiral Tanner is in a hurry to speak with you. Would you please follow me?”
We stood, put on our uniforms, and followed the commander onto his ship. I expected us to be shown to brig cells. “Commander could you please have your medics check on my wife, she is pregnant and needs to have a physical done.”
“I will have the doctor come to your room as soon as possible.” He said without any tonal inflection I could detect.
We were shown down the main hall until we came to a door. The door opened and there was a stateroom. “I am going to have to ask you not to be among our crew for the trip. The admiral was quite insistent that you must be isolated until he can talk with you. Your meals will be brought to you here.”
The next ten days were spent with us both worrying and trying to comfort each other. I knew that the only way to not face charges of abuse of rank and fraternizing was to resign. I had my resignation completely ready when we docked with the station.
We waited in the stateroom for more than four hours after we had docked. Then there was a knock at the door. I opened the door to see six men in military police uniforms. “Lieutenant Kraken, if you and Mrs. Kraken would be so kind as to follow us we will take you to the admiral.”
“Thank you, Sir,” I replied as Reggie stepped up behind me. We followed the MPs through empty hallways all the way to the admiral’s office. This was a station. There were thousands of people on it. Where were the people?
The MPs led us to the admiral’s office then opened the door and announced us. Once they were done, they turned and left without a word leaving us alone with the admiral. I stepped forward and stood at attention, “Sir, I wish to tender my resignation from the military.”
The admiral smiled and then folded his hands in front of himself. “Lieutenant Kraken, I am afraid we will not be able to accept your resignation at this time. Please sit and I will explain the situation.”
We both moved over and sat in the chairs in front of his desk. “Sir, I was unaware that you could deny a resignation request.”
“If you still wish to resign after our conversation I will accept it. I feel you need to be fully informed before you tender it though. Three months ago, when your ship was in port, it was outfitted with a new experimental form of missiles. Part of your ship’s mission was to test fire those weapons and report on the results. We were at first mystified as to the cause of the explosion that destroyed the Scotland. As we investigated we started finding log recorders and flight recorders among the wreckage. The investigation was led down a path we really did not want to walk.”
“Sir, are you saying one of the weapons caused this?”
“No, I am not saying that and that is the point. You can never tell anyone anything about what happen out there. The results of our investigation have led to the retirement of four fleet admirals and nine members of the ministry of defense. We have however managed to keep the whole thing out of the reach of the media.”
“I am not sure why that would be used to stop my resignation.”
“I have been authorized to offer you something. If the media gets wind that the only two survivors from the Scotland resigned when they were rescued it could blow this whole thing into the media like a circus.”
“Admiral, I think we need to know what really happened before we can make our decision.”
“I really don’t think,” the admiral started to say when a voice cut him off from the shadows.
“Tell them,” a man dressed in a black suit said as he stepped out of the shadows. “They need to understand how important this is.”
The admiral nodded before he continued. “The Captain of the Scotland was a member of a group called the friends of fate. They are a group that believes the human race has not grown mature enough to handle our own technology. He was under orders to transfer one of the weapons to our enemy, the Il’lbar. In the act of trying to secure the weapon for transfer to one of the enemy ships, he set it off. It destroyed the drive section of the Scotland and set off the other weapons on board. Our investigation led us to find out this group of people has members throughout our military, many of them in high positions.”
Reggie spoke softly, “That would mean we have the enemy within our own number.”
“Our point, exactly. We have been authorized to offer you both a position on a special investigations team to help us find and gather these members. If you accept this position you will both be given rank to accommodate the new position.”
“I don’t know anything about flushing out traitors, sir.” I said quietly. I was a little overwhelmed by what was happening.
“We can teach you the skills. What we need are people we can trust.”
“How do you know you can trust us?”
“When you were found, you immediately forwarded your logs so you could not be accused of hiding anything. You even mentioned in your logs about making your marriage official when you were rescued. I want you to know your marriage has already been made official. I forwarded the paperwork to command this morning.”
“How can we help, Sir?” we both asked at the same time.
“Just go with this man, he will arrange for your training and your assignment.”
I looked at the admiral with an expression of worry on my face. “Sir, my wife is pregnant. I am sure she will not be able to handle the physical demands of any training.”
The gentleman wearing the black suit stepped forward. “Do not worry, son. She will not need to fight. Your job is going to be to help us find them. Once they are located we have teams to deal with them.”
“How are we supposed to find them?” Reggie asked trying to clear up the confusion.
“You will use interviewing techniques and psychological profiling. Now, if you will please follow me we have a ship waiting…”

———————————————————–
We were approaching a planet with a lush Earth-like biosphere. We had entered over a dozen stellar systems in the last few days. This was the first with a habitable planet. “Are we detecting any anomalies that point to higher life forms?”
“No, sir, there are no unusual electromagnetic radiations. Also there are no abnormal pollutants in the atmosphere. We are however detecting a single point radiation source in orbit at approximately thirty five thousand four hundred kilometers from the surface. The planet is earth size and mass, that puts the object in geosynchronous orbit.” Millishia said as she looked over her console.
“Does the database give any information on this planet from old astronomical observations?’
“There is none, Captain.”
“Let’s move in on the object in orbit, it may be a beacon from another race. Close to one thousand kilometers and hold position.”
A few minutes later our navigator, Lieutenant Wickwire, spoke, “Sir we have reached the designated distance. The object is on screen.”
“Thank you, Bumpy,” I said as I looked up at the screen. The object lazily turned in the sunlight from the star. It was definitely a ship of some kind. There was damage to large sections of the ship. One of its drive sections was barely attached. The area the cockpit should have been was missing completely. As it continued to rotate, markings came into view. Written in large letters on the aft section was, “ESA Saint Elmo”, then in smaller letters “ESA-00017”.
“Those letters are earth normal. Look up any information on that ship in the database, Marijuana.” I said, this was exciting, we might have found one of the missing deep vessels.
“Accessing the information now, sir.” Millishia said as she continued to look at her console. “Pig, that is an Earth vessel, it was launched three hundred and twenty-five years ago. It is an old Ice Box Colony ship.”
“Do you mean there might be some frozen people on board that thing, still?”
“It is very possible, Phillip, this ship was launched towards a suspected earth like planet, in the direction of the constellation of Orion. Earth lost contact with its computer system twenty five years after launch. It was presumably lost with all personnel and passengers.”
“We need to go on board and see if we can salvage the computer core. The information could be valuable. Bumpy, have your wife meet us in shuttle bay two. Marijuana, you and Mountain are with me; gather Melons, Demoness, and Buster and meet up in the shuttle bay.” I left the bridge without looking back.
As we boarded the shuttle I spoke to Ensign Lena, get as close as you can, I doubt the docking rings will match our standards. Everyone else suit up. The ship probably lost atmosphere when the hull was breached. Once on board Buster, Mountain, and Marijuana go to the core room and see if we can pull the computer core. Melons and I will go to the sleeper hold to see if there are any active pods.”
Millishia spoke as she headed for the suit locker. “Captain, there were over four thousand colonists on the passenger manifest, if any large portion of them are still alive back there we won’t be able to house or support them on the Ticonderoga.”
“Understood, if there are too many of them we will plant an Evac beacon and get the UP to send out a transport for them.” I watched breathlessly as we approached the derelict ship. It was massive, over five kilometers in length and a kilometer wide. “Light her up, Wild Ride,” I ordered.
Lena touched a couple of the control and the external floodlights burst to life. With the added light the amount of damage to the ship became clearer. It was cratered with micrometeorite impacts. The damaged drive section was hanging on by only a few wires and conduits. There was enough space dust gathered on the surface to make identifying any windows impossible.
The first docking ring we came to, was damaged beyond any hope of access. The next two looked better but still I was hoping for an intact one. Millishia called my attention to something as we passed one of the four sleeper modules. “Philip, The separation locks for the sleepers have been fired. The chambers have been launched and reconnected.”
“Why would they return from the surface if they launched? Only an emergency code from the ship could have brought them back.”
We came across another docking ring this one was intact enough to clamp on to. Wild Ride rolled us over and brought us into perfect alignment with the ring. I operated the clamp claws and extended our walkway. Two minutes later we were moving across the walkway through open space. “Remember your suit protocols, one foot in contact with a surface at all times. No one floats away on my watch.”
I moved across to the docking ring and brushed the dust off of the control panel, there were no lights. “She has no power, Buster, help me with the manual crank.” We struggled with the crank for several minutes before Mountain reached in and spun the crank like it was a top. “We must have loosened it for him,” I told Buster.
Once inside Mountain shut the outer door and opened the inner one. The hallway in front of us was as dark as a well digger’s ass. It was as I suspected there was no air inside. I thumbed my suit lights on and looked down the hallway. As the others popped their lights on I heard Demoness give a small gasping sound. She pointed ahead of us there was a set of small human footprints in the dust. They came up to the door and stretched up on tiptoes. Then they went back down the hallway with a larger gap between them as if the print maker had been running. They were also the impressions of bare feet.
Have you ever heard that little voice in your head that says stuff like, “Get the fuck out of here!”, “Danger Will Robertson!”, and “Oh fuck I’m going to die!”? I ignored it. Damn I wish we had brought a couple of people in red shirts.
“Change in plans, you three still go after the core, weapons at ready. Demoness and I are going to look for the creator of those footprints.“ We split up at a branch in the hallway; the footprints went aft towards the sleeper pods.
The footprints came to a doorway, there was no evidence that it had been opened recently but the footprints just ended there. I popped the manual panel and started to crank the door. Thank the stars this one didn’t need a mountain to make it move. The door slid back smoothly and I shined my light down the new passage. Then I screamed like a little girl, a figure had loomed out of the dark as my light slid across it. It was the inert body of one of the robot flight crew. Why had they chosen to make the damn things look like skeletal people?
I could hear Demoness trying to stifle her laughter, as I explained that I had just been startled to the rest of the boarding party. Somehow I knew Tigrat had set this up. He must have gone back in time just to make them redesign those damn things.
We looked for the footprints in the dust, there were none. But scrawled in the dust on the wall was the words “Nya, nya.”
We continued aft ward to locate the sleeper pods. Three hundred feet later we found the footprints again. This time they were in a random pattern as if the person had stopped to dance for a while. “This is very strange sir, it is like a child playing games,” Demoness observed.
Before I could reply Mountain came on the com, “Sir we have reached the core room, it looks like it will take about an hour to disconnect the computer.”
“Very good. Wild Ride, retract the walkway and secure your outer door, there is something very odd going on here.”
“I already did that when I heard you scream, sir.”
“Planning on abandoning us?”
“Nope, not until someone else screamed. I know you startle easily.”
“Smart ass.”
We encountered the footprint several times during our journey to the sleeper pods. I was beginning to get the heebie jeebies. It was like we were being toyed with by a ghost, on a ghost ship. The more I thought about it the creepier it was.
We finally found the control console for the sleepers and I checked it. The emergency power was still on here. I checked the controls and found one couch out of four thousand that was occupied. What had happen to all of the others? “We have one survivor, we are moving to check out the condition of the sleeper couch.”
“Very good, sir, we will join you in a few minutes we have the core.” Millishia replied.
“Negative, take it back to the shuttle and wait there. Something stinks in here and I have not gone to the bathroom in my suit.” We worked the access hatch and entered the sleeper pod. Couch one hundred and seven was fogged over. “There is our survivor, lets see if we can transport the couch to the shuttle.”
“I don’t think that will be a problem sir, the shuttle could just fly in the hole in the pod and pick us up.” Demoness said quietly.
I looked up to see the entire outward wall of the pod missing. She was right, the shuttle would fit easily. I checked over the couch. It was fully functional but the backup battery pack used to power the couch during transport was damaged. “Check and see if a backup can be taken from one of the other couches.” I told Demoness as I started preparing the couch to be disconnected. “Wild Ride, bring the shuttle around to pod three. I will leave a light on for you.”
It took the better part of an hour to get the couch rigged for transport. As I was disconnecting it a small object hit my helmet. I looked over to see a plastic ball rolling across the floor. It was a child’s plaything. I shook my head and went back to work. This ship had me in a full blown case of the creeps. I bent down to loosen the final connector and the ball hit me again. “Demoness, quit fucking around.”
“Sir, I am on the shuttle getting the connections ready.”
My spine started trying to crawl up into my helmet, “You left me out here alone?”
“Yes sir, you are in hard vacuum, nothing can get to you.”
“Tell that to the plastic ball that has been thrown at me twice! Get someone out here to watch my back or I am going to demote the whole fucking crew to Seaman Recruits!” I was close enough to panic out here without being alone.
Five minutes later Mountain was standing next to me, “Sorry, sir.”
I had to giggle to myself when the plastic ball hit him in the head a minute later. The thought came to me that with the power on in this section we still had artificial gravity. “Buster, get out here with a couple of antigrav pallets. I don’t want to carry this damn thing.
As we loaded the couch into the cargo hold on the shuttle I noticed a duffle bag on the floor near the shuttle. I opened it to look, it was full of toys. There were dolls, balls, blocks, and a jump rope. I set the bag aside and helped to secure the couch in the bay. We were underway ten minutes later.
The return to the Ticonderoga was uneventful. Once we secured the shuttle I was helping to unload the couch. “Get this thing in isolation and let’s get the core hooked up so we can check the auto logs. Do not defrost or open that couch until after we know what is going on.”
When we floated the couch off I noticed the duffle bag sitting in a corner of the hold. “Who loaded the duffle bag?” No one would admit to loading it so I took it off the shuttle and locked it in a storage locker. Then I set a priority lock on it so only I could get it open.
I thumbed the com panel on the wall near the lockers. “Bumpy back us away from that ship. Give us about fifty thousand kilometers.”
“Will do, captain,” Bumpy replied.
I moved to the bridge as the techs rolled the couch to containment. It was time for the second shift to take over and I needed to do my pass down report. I was looking forward to some downtime with my wife. That ship had really given me the creeps with a capital K.
Twenty minutes later found me walking into our quarters. Millishia was setting plates and glasses on the table. I walked up behind her and put my arms around her waist. I buried my nose in her freshly showered hair, making her giggle. “You need a shower love, you smell like the inside of a space suit.”
“You know how to flatter a guy, babe.”
She turned around and gave me a deep passionate kiss. “Why don’t you take a shower while I get dinner ready? Then maybe I will think of something special for dessert.” She smiled a devilish smile as she pinched my ass.
“Keep doing that and I will forgo the shower and just throw you up on the table right here.”
“Now that, sounds like a vicious punishment, captain.”
I moved to our delta shower striping of my uniform on the way. I stepped in and touched the controls starting the cycle. The sonic waves brushed across my body loosening all of the dirt and grime from my skin. Then a warm mist of water was sprayed out flowed by a stiff airflow. Finally a mist of skin care and moisturizers was sprayed across me. It was not as fun as a good old fashioned shower, but it got you squeaky clean.
I stepped into the clothier and dialed over to my casual selections. I chose the silk lounging outfit and touched the controls. The energy solidifier activated and I was clothed in a set of lounging pajamas. Then I stepped out and threw my days uniform in the energy recycler.
I moved out to the combination living/dining/bedroom area to find Millishia placing the food on the table. Energy solidified beef stroganoff, with energy solidified baked apples; boy did that sound good, Yeah right. I would give anything for an actual apple, this stuff may be good for you but it tasted artificial.
We ate in silence for a while, until I got the nerve up to ask, “What’s wrong? You are very quiet tonight and that usually means you are mad at me.”
“It’s not you this time. There were just some weird things that happen on that ship. They have me a little spooked.”
“What kind of things?”
“When we were trying to disconnect the core, I could have sworn I felt someone playing with my hair. I was in a space suit for the stars sake. Nothing could touch my hair, not even me. Then a little later, Buster’s suit settings got changed giving him too much oxygen. If I had not seen it with my own eyes I would have thought someone was crazy. The knobs on his chest pack just turned, all by themselves. Mountain wouldn’t say anything but, he kept getting jumpier and jumpier the whole time.”
I could tell she was really bothered by this. She had tears forming on the edges of her eyes. “Babe it was an old derelict ship. It was open to space and it was a bit creepy. I am sure all of that combined to just give us all the creep out syndrome.”
“Phil, if it had just been those things, I would think you were right, but the doll, even an over active imagination could not make that happen.”
“What doll?”, I asked thinking about the dolls in the bag of toys.
“It was a very old doll, like the ones made out of rags that were so popular. You know the ones, the collector’s item dolls. Anyway it was lying in the corner of the core room when we entered. Then when I turned to get Buster’s tool bag, the doll was on the table next to it, I even looked in the corner, the doll there was gone. When we finished, I was helping Buster put his tools back and the doll was in his bag. We tossed it out and headed back to the shuttle. When we were moving the shuttle to come get you, Buster was checking his tool bag. The doll was back in it again. We both made sure it got flushed out of the airlock when mountain came out to cover your back.”
I did not want to tell her I had seen a doll just like the one she described in the bag of toys. I knew her talking this out would make her feel better, but it was scaring the crap out of me. “I don’t know what to say babe, maybe Mountain was playing a trick on you two. He does have a wicked sense of humor.”
“Phil, Mountain couldn’t laugh at a joke if it would save his life. He was also scared shitless of that doll, he wouldn’t even get into the airlock with it. We had to flush it first. When can we get out of here? That ship gives me the creeps.”
I moved over to my wife and held her in my arms. “Whatever is over there is safely on that ship, and we are a long ways away from it.” She clung to me. She was terrified of whatever was over there. I wouldn’t say I was terrified, but it definitely had me on edge.
Once she calmed down she looked up at me with tears still drying on her cheeks. “Look at me, I am a fool, big bad space officer scared of a few oddball occurrences. At least we know there are no cockbiter rats over there.”
Now I shuddered, “Don’t even mention them, I can’t believe twenty rats damn near killed us all.”
She looked up into my eyes. “Thank you.”
“For what, babe?”
“Just for being here.” As she spoke she reached up and kissed me deeply. In the whole time we had been married, she had never kissed me the way she did now. My initial shock wore off quickly and I warmed to the woman in my arms. “Take me to bed, my husband.”
I picked her up in my arms and touched the floor stud that caused the table to go into hiding. When it was gone, I touched another stud to make the bed appear. You think the captain’s cabin would have at least a separate bedroom. At least we had a private bathroom instead of the community one the enlisted couple’s quarters enjoyed.
I placed my wife into the bed and kissed her neck on that sensitive spot just behind the ear. Tonight I would make love to my wife for the first time. We had had sex before but we had never made love.
I caressed her stomach and legs as I started to bite the buttons off of her lounging blouse. Her light giggles were music to my ears. Our marriage had been loveless, now I could feel the change in her. I had loved her from the moment I saw her, but our marriage had been one of convenience, she wanted to go deep, and I had too.
When I spit the last button away, I moved my face downward and licked my way from her stomach just above her pants to the smooth valley between her breasts. Her light sigh was music to my ears. I did not remember ever hearing anything so beautiful. Then the smell of her arousal hit my nose. That smell took me from erect to rock hard before it even fully registered. I slid my hand down the front, inside of her lounge pants. I found the moisture there more desirable than any woman I had ever been with. She moaned as my finger found her clit. I teased and played with her as I closed my mouth around the nipple in front of me.
She ran her fingers through my hair and moaned out my name. The sound of her almost made me explode early. That tone of voice was so full of desire and love. I kissed my way down her body as I climbed onto the bed. Once I was to the barrier of cloth over her lovely legs, I ripped them away with both hands. Within a second she was bare before me. I had to taste her. The aroma of her was making me crazy. I ran my tongue along her pussy taking in the moisture that had collected on her lips. The flavor was like the sweetest honey to me.
I pushed my tongue into her tight cunt. The moans and sighs from her played a chorus on my soul. I felt her hands entwine in my hair, trying to push me deeper into her. I obliged her efforts by burying my face as deep as I could into her cunt. With every touch of my tongue her legs would twitch and shake. I move my face downward and pushed my tongue in to her tight ass. Her legs instantly clamped onto my head, as she screamed out my name and quivered in her ecstasy. When I felt her legs start to relax I moved my head upward and nipped at her clit. Her legs closed on my head like a bear trap. She again screamed out her orgasm. She nearly convulsed when my fingers slid into her ass and cunt at the same time. Her back arched upward and she began to beg me to stop.
I let her relax as I moved up her incredible body. She smiled at me when she felt my cock bump against he molten hot pussy. Her legs wrapped around my hips and she pulled me into her. The passion of her embrace had me ready to explode. I began to thrust my hips with abandon as I locked my lips to hers. Our passion rose on wings of love as we both rocketed towards our orgasms. I felt her pussy tighten around my cock. The sensation pushed me over the edge and we moaned out our orgasms together.
The only thing I could say as I rolled off of her to lay next to her in the bed was, “Wow!” She moved up to my side and placed her head on my chest. My arm found its way around her and I kissed the top of her head. Then I felt her lips twist into a smile.
With a smooth sensual move, she slid her head down my body to take my cock into her mouth. I nearly jumped out of my skin as the sensitive head slid into her throat. Her talented tongue quickly reversed the direction my erection was headed. In less than a minute she had me at full hardness again.
My moan of disappointment, when she pulled her mouth off of me, made her giggle. “Another time, my love, I want this in me again.” She straddled me and I felt her hand guide me to her cunt once again. She began to pound her body onto me with an abandon that surprised me. She was like an animal made of passion as she rode my cock.
I felt her start to lose her rhythm as she moved towards another orgasm. She suddenly howled out and collapsed quivering onto my chest. As she relaxed I moved her off of me. Then I stood up and pulled her to the edge of the bed, on her stomach. She looked back over her shoulder and smiled. I watched as she spread her legs until she was doing the splits on the edge of the bed. Her beautiful round ass was a perfect display as I stepped up. With one hard thrust I began to pound into her cunt with all of my passion and fire. In seconds she was moaning her way up to another orgasm. I wet my finger and pushed it into her ass. I felt her tense and shake. I ground my cock into her tight cunt as she Moaned and begged for more. I lost count of the orgasms she had before I was near my release. With one final hard thrust I slammed my seed into her.
All of the video monitors in the room came on showing an animated show of teenage kids being chased by ghosts down a hallway. “Scooby-Dooby-Doo, Where are you? We got some work to do now.”, it was screaming at full volume.
Do you know what it is like to get startled out of your wits, mid orgasm? I jumped to my feet roughly pulling from my wife as I was still spraying. She jumped up at the same time and flew across the bed, screaming at the top of her lungs. It took several minutes for my heart to beat again. Then when it did it went off like a sledgehammer. The pounding in my chest was only magnified by the throbbing of the arteries in my head. Then I was hit by a human body running at full speed. My wife was in my arms and crying before I could even register a coherent thought.
I reached over to the nearest com panel, “Bridge, What the fuck is going on up there? Shut that fucking thing off now!”
A voice came back that I could not recognize over the din of the cartoon show. “Sir, we are trying. Every monitor on the ship is playing it. Most of the consoles won’t let us access them.”
“Pull the fucking plug on the entertainment database!”
“Yes, sir!”
Thirty seconds later the only sound that could be heard in our room was the beating of my wife’s heart. It was louder than mine. When my hearing returned, and our heartbeats slowed down, I guided my wife to the bathroom. There we stepped into the energy solidifier booth and I dialed it for our uniforms.
We left our room and headed for the bridge. That was where I was run over by a Mountain. That black skinned behemoth came out of his and Everest’s room at full tilt, running backwards. I managed to push my wife out of the way just before I was body slammed into the wall by a huge black butt.
I squeezed out of my predicament to see Mountain pointing into his room. There at the foot of his bed was a very old Raggedy Anne doll. Its evil smile was one of the scariest things I had ever seen. My wife apparently agreed because she screamed at the top of her lungs as well. “It’s that damn doll, it followed us!”
“It is just a doll. Someone got it out of the locker and is playing as joke on us.” I told them. I was not sure if I was trying to convince them, or myself. I walked into the room and picked up the doll. It took all of my willpower to put my hand around its scrawny little body. Then I deliberately stalked out of the room and towards the bridge.
The three of us arrived at the bridge a few minutes later. “What the hell is going on here? Whose idea was it to put cartoons across the ship network at full volume?”
The watch commander stood up out of the command chair. “Sir, no one here did it. The communications watch was not even in the room when it happened. They had left to use the bathroom and suddenly every monitor on the ship started showing that damn show and singing that song. The video even locked us out of most of the consoles by covering up the interface icons.”
“Start an investigation; I want to know by morning which console on this ship was used and who did it.”
“Sir, may I ask why you are carrying a doll?”
“It keeps big black butts out of my face.” I turned and left the bridge, I was headed for the lockers in bay two. I needed to see who could, and did, override my security code on the locker. “Mountain, Marijuana, you two go get some sleep.”
“Not a chance, sir,” Mountain rumbled in his deep voice, “I am staying where I can see that death totem in your hand.” Millishia just nodded in agreement.
“It is just a doll, don’t try and make it into something ominous.” We arrived at the locker and I accessed the log data. This confused me, the locker had been open an hour and a half ago by me. Then I had sealed it with my personal code. Twenty five minutes later it had been opened again. There had been no bio signature, no code entered, and the most puzzling thing; there had been no scan data of a person in the area. The shuttle bay had been empty at the time.
I opened the locker to find the duffle bag missing. I quietly placed the doll in the locker and shut the door. I set an alarm code on the locker. If anyone opened it, including myself, it would give me an alert, anywhere on the ship.
The three of us left the shuttle bay and headed down the hall. When we reached the lift, the com panel next to it sounded the captain’s attention tone. I touched the panel and the computer spoke. “Locker two zero five has been opened, captain.”
I turned and sprinted back to the shuttle bay. The locker was closed and locked as before. We had passed no one and there was no one in the bay. I opened the locker trying to not let my hand tremble. The locker was as empty as a lawyer’s soul.
Oh well, there went any chance of me getting sleep tonight. I was seriously creeped out now. I walked over to the com panel, “Jazz Hands! Have you made any progress getting that computer core hooked up to a console yet?”
“Actually, yes I have. I couldn’t sleep so I came down to engineering.”
“Why couldn’t you sleep?” I asked, not fully wanting an answer.
“The wife and I kept hearing a little girl playing in the hall outside our door. For some reason it was making Leafa jumpy. Though I have to admit, it got to me a little too.”
We will be down in about five minutes. Have that damn thing ready for me to look through the logs.” We left the shuttle bay. All of us kept looking over our shoulder. When we arrived in engineering, Jazz Hands was sitting at a console. It was standard procedure to hook any retrieved core to an autonomous console. If it had gone buggy, you didn’t want it to talk to your core.
I pushed Jazz Hands aside and sat at the console. It took me a few moments to access the logs but they were intact.
The ship had left Earth orbit on May 5th of 2065. Its target had been a planet around the star Betelgeuse. It was confirmed habitable and had an Earth-like length to its year. The voyage was expected to take one hundred and twenty-five years. The ships travel speed had been twice the speed of light. Due to the length of the voyage the ship was automated and all passengers and crew had been asleep in hibernation couches.
Twenty five years after launch the flight control deck had a meteor rip through it. The backup system taken over but the navigation track had been lost. The ship had been thrown off course and flew a straight line until it reached this system.
Once here the systems detected the earth like planet and assumed this must have been its destination. It then launched the sleeper pods.
Seven days later the ship received an emergency evacuation request from the planet below. It recalled the pods and when they attached the ship found the only passenger on board was one Millany Denise Roberts, a seven year old passenger. She had been allowed to apply because of her extreme intelligence and the fact that she was an orphan. She was still asleep and her couch showed no signs that it had ever been opened. The ship tried to set a course to return to earth but as it started the main drives one of the chemical igniters, did. The resulting explosion ripped the starboard engine off of the ship and rendered its generators dead. The only power, the ship had, was to the sleep pods.
An automated ship, without power, is called space junk.
Well that answered some questions, not any that I was asking however. I wanted to know what had been on that ship. What was now on my ship?
I looked up the little popsicle in the passenger manifest. She was a young girl of African American decent. She had graduated Harvard College at the age of five with four PhDs. At the age of six she had invented the, chemically ignited matter decay engine. “Oh my god,” I said under my breath.
“What?”, everyone around me asked, at the same time.
“That little girl frozen in our lab is none other than MD Roberts. That is the girl that invented the first faster than light drive.”
“You mean the little engine that blew the doors off of every ship they built it into?” Jazz Hands asked.
“Yes, she invented the ‘FTL Bomb’. We have found an honest to goodness celebrity out here.”
I moved away from the console. “We need to go down to the planet and see if we can locate any sign of what happen to the colonists. Jazz Hands, see if you can get us any drop coordinates from that thing. It’s a big planet when you are looking for an individual.”
As we left the engineering section the com unit on the wall gave the Captain’s notification beep. I thumbed it on, “Captain Graves.”
“Sir this is Melons, I wanted to report about the freezer in the isolation chamber. It is fully functional and the passenger is fine, but I am getting some odd reading.”
“What kind of odd readings?”
“I am tracing Theta and gamma waves from the freezer. As if the occupant is dreaming and thinking.”
“She is frozen, Melons, she can’t be dreaming. It may be an effect of the old freezer systems. Double check the system diagnostics and let me know if anything else turns up.”
“Yes, Sir.”
“One more thing, Melons, Why are you in the lab, this is your sleep cycle.”
“Buster and I couldn’t sleep. Our Music system kept turning itself on. It has us both a little spooked.”
“We have been having a few odd experiences since we came back.”
I don’t know if this counts as odd sir, but a duffle bag is laying next to the freezer in the containment area. It wasn’t there a few minutes ago.”
“That definitely counts as odd. I will be right there.”
I moved to the lift at a dead run, the missing bag had turned up in the one room it could not have turned up in. We were in the med lab two minutes later. I could plainly see the bag. It was sitting next to the sleeper couch. I moved to the lock panel. Only med personnel or myself could open the door once it was sealed.
The door control report indicated it had been opened, by no one. The door had just opened and closed with no command to do so. I stood up shaking my head. “Leave it in there. If it moves again let me know. Try and get some sleep, none of us are going to do any good if we are too tired to think.”
I took Millishia’s arm and started back towards our quarters, “We are off to get some sleep, I suggest you do the same, Mountain.”
It was deep in the night when I turned in my sleep, there was a warm little body snuggled up between my wife and I. My eyes instantly snapped open as I reached back to turn on the light. After a few blinks to adjust I looked between us and there was nothing there except for that damn doll. I swear, I tried to move it before my wife was awoken by my movement. Her eyes came open and focused on the doll between us.
Her scream would have made a vampire die of fright. “How the hell did that get in here?”
I got off the bed carrying the doll. Without bothering to change clothes I left the room headed for the med lab. When I arrived I checked the log tapes of the room. It happened about twenty five minutes before I woke up. The door opened, and the doll floated out of the room. I thumbed the com unit to life, “Jazz Hands, report.”
“Yes, Sir,” he answered just a few seconds later.
“Have you got a landing site yet?”
“Yes, Sir, they have already been fed to the guidance computer for shuttle two.”
“Good man. Demoness, Wild Ride, Mountain, and Everest, report to shuttle two in five minutes, we are going to the surface.”
I ran to my room to change into a uniform, pajamas just wouldn’t do. Millishia was sitting wide eyed in our room. “We are going to the surface to see what we can find there. I want to know what they sent back up to that ship.”
“Can I go with you, please, whatever is on this ship, is scaring the hell out of me.”
“Get dressed.”
She was behind me as we headed for the shuttle bay. I looked down and realized I still had the doll in my hand. Whatever was going on here was tied to this damn doll. I was not going to let it out of my sight until I knew what it was.
The shuttle cleared the bay over the blue-green marble below us. I could see the reflection of that ghost ship in the distance. It had all started when we went on board that derelict. My answers had to be on the planet.
I watched the horizon as we drew into the atmosphere. We were almost half way around when the landing zone came into sight. We would have about an hour of daylight before we had to leave. I was not letting anyone stay downside here until I knew what the danger was.
We made a slow pass over the landing site. There were few signs of habitation. A couple of the prefab huts still stood. Then I saw what I was looking for, there was the downfall computer and communications pod. They had been standard equipment since the very first colonists had left Earth so long ago.
We landed and Millishia did a scan of the area. “There are a couple of large animals in the area, everyone better carry arms. I detect no signs of human life.”
We gathered our Inducer pistols and rifles. While I armed myself I laid the doll down, when I turned to pick it up it was gone. “Damn it,” I mumbled under my breath.
The others turned at the sound of my mumble, “Where is the death totem?” Everest asked and I could see the same question burning in everyone’s eyes.
“I set it down and it disappeared. It is just a damn doll.” I said as I headed for the hatch. “Stay in groups of two at least. One set of eyes always on the lookout. Report anything that isn’t normal.” When the hatch opened a small possum-like creature scurried away from us. Then it stopped and tucked its head in between its legs and rolled away at high speed.
Demoness looked at me and said quietly, “Sir, I would like to report a creature that stuck its head up its own ass and rolled away.”
“Thank you, Dumboness,” I said as I walked down the ramp. “Millishia, Everest you are with me. Demoness and Mountain sweep the area. Nobody gets bit by wild Raggedy Anne dolls.” I headed for the computer pod.
It seemed that every animal on this planet liked the idea of sticking its head up its ass. It seamed an efficient way to travel if you didn’t mind the smell.
We reached the pod and I activated the console. It took it a couple of minutes to wake up. Then I started checking the logs. The videos of the Captain started smoothly.
“Day one colonist report, Captain Jim Stacco Reporting. We made planet fall today. We had no malfunctioning bays. The systems all check out within operational parameters. The unloading of the quick huts went well. It was decided that the couch containing MD Roberts would not be triggered until after the initial set up is complete. She is still young enough to be a distraction to the colony as we work. It was found that the Rollerbies are not a viable food source, there blood contains a poison that is deadly to humans. A group will be sent out in the morning to establish animals that can be hunted for food.”
I manipulated the controls to display the next entry; so far this had not been promising.
“Day two colonist report, Captain Jim Stacco Reporting. We had some strange occurrences during the night. Several of the colonists reported hearing a child playing in the camp. It is also believed there may be a native race in the vicinity. Several of the personal effects of MD Roberts were found scattered about the camp. Inventory of the items showed nothing missing. A new creature has been sighted in the area. Lieutenant Jaxum named it a ballcat. It appears to be a large predatory cat like creature. In its extended shape its camouflage is nearly impenetrable. While in its ball form it can move at over one hundred KPH. They appear to be large and dangerous. We will be setting the security screens in place this afternoon.“
“Supplemental report: Three colonists were attacked and killed today by the ballcats. We did not see them until they were in the camp. They move like a ghost through the tress. Our security fences are not going to be high enough to protect us, I am setting extra guards during the sleep shift. Casualty list: Marcus Randal James, David Lee Fairmount, and Robert Aaron Wade.”
I called out to the others walking around the camp. “Watch out for large predators, they may be well camouflaged. Demoness, get the portable motion scanner from the shuttle.” I proceeded to the next entry.
“Day three colonist report, Captain Jim Stacco Reporting. We set over a hundred guards during the night watch. This morning they are all missing and presumed dead. I have ordered the huts be fortified with extra armor. To accomplish this, the colonists will be doubling up. We will not set any guards tonight all colonists will lock themselves in their huts at nightfall. Casualty list: Stephen…”
The report listed all of the missing colonists. I was shocked by the number of dead on the second night. They should have pulled out then. At that kind of death rate they would not last forty days. After the list, the computer continued.
“Self initiated supplemental report number zero-zero-zero-four dash one. Alarm system triggered at space standard time zero-zero point two-five. Explanation: unknown. Triggering personnel: unknown. Status of colony: unknown.”
I turned to the rest of the crew, “Let’s tighten it up. These creatures are very, and I repeat very dangerous. Wild ride, get the shuttle ready for emergency lift off.” I continued with the log entries.
“Day four colonist report, Captain Jim Stacco Reporting. All hell broke out during the night, someone managed to trigger the alarm on the colony computer system. I am glad they did. We lost over four hundred people during the night. The ballcats attacked in force, at one point there were more than a hundred of them inside the compound. They seem to be immune to plasma rifle fire. I have issued projectile weapons to all colonists. They only seem to sting them but at least it drives them off. Casualty list…”
I fast forwarded through the list, which would take hours to go through. I could not figure out why they had not pulled out. The planet was obviously not hospitable. They needed better weapons from the ship.
“Self initiated supplemental report number zero-zero-zero-five dash one. Alarm system triggered at space standard time zero-zero point three-seven. Explanation: unknown. Triggering personnel: unknown. Status of colony: unknown.”
When the captain again appeared on the screen he was in rough shape. He had a bandage on his head and a sling over one arm. He had obviously been roughed up during the night.
“Day five colonist report, Captain Jim Stacco Reporting. We lost over a thousand people when the ballcats hit last night. We will be rearranging the huts tonight to build one long barracks, with heavily armored walls. I am the last of the military men sent as escorts. The colonists are refusing to leave, they believe we can tame this planet if we learn how to deal with the ballcats. I fear we may find out soon what hunts these creatures. I will not enter a casualty report at this time all hands are needed for the barracks construction.”
“Self initiated supplemental report number zero-zero-zero-six dash one. Alarm system triggered at space standard time zero-zero point two-nine. Explanation: unknown. Triggering personnel: unknown. Status of colony: unknown.”
“Self initiated supplemental report number zero-zero-zero-six dash two. Alarm system triggered at space standard time zero-one point three-one. Explanation: unknown. Triggering personnel: unknown. Status of colony: unknown.”
“Self initiated supplemental report number zero-zero-zero-six dash three. Alarm system triggered at space standard time zero-two point three-three. Explanation: unknown. Triggering personnel: unknown. Status of colony: unknown.”
There was no report on the sixth day. I was pretty sure that the colonists had not made it through the fifth night. On the seventh day there was one report.
“Self initiated supplemental report number zero-zero-zero-seven dash one. Emergency evacuation call triggered at space standard time one-one point five-one. Explanation: unknown. Triggering personnel: unknown. Status of colony: unknown. Pods lifted off at space standard time one-two point one-zero. System initiating self power conservation mode.”
Then there was the report for my activating the console. I filled in the missing data and then turned to Marijuana. “Let’s get this into the ship, we will download all the data and send it back with the reports.” As she was about to answer, there was a roar from the edge of the clearing. I turned in time to see mountain go down below a large armored cat looking creature. It looked like an armadillo crossed with a tiger, but no stripes.
I drew my inducer pistol and fired, my excellent marksmanship paid off. I managed to kill the shit out of the tree behind them.
Everest drew her force mace and slammed it into the creature’s head. The cat rolled off of her husband as it recoiled to the side. Mountain rolled to his feet and drew his energy mace and inducer pistol. I could see the nasty cuts across his chest.
I leveled my inducer pistol to fire again but Demoness pushed my hand down. “You are a lousy shot captain and those two would never forgive you if you killed one of them.” As she spoke, she fired her inducer pistol at the ballcat. The reaction was instant. The great cat thing screamed and rolled itself into a ball. Then it rolled away at high speed.
“Move everyone to the long hut! We need to get out of the open as fast as possible!” I shouted while II turned to take stock of the others. Marijuana and wild ride had just finished loading the console onto the shuttle. I motioned for them to head to the long hut.
Demoness asked, “Why head for there, we need to get in the ship and lift off.”
“I still need answers, and I am not going to find them topside.”
“I advise against this, Captain, we are in a compromised security situation. We should leave and return with better armament and armor.”
“We will call from the hut for backup.” I said as we entered the hut. The hut was heavily armored and still sturdy after all this time. It should give us some protection while we investigated. “Demoness, contact the ship and get us some back up. Tell them to come in battle suits and with heavy inducer rifles.”
“I don’t have a hand com, sir.”
“Everest, contact the…”
“I didn’t grab one either, sir,” Everest said with a rueful look on her face.
“Did anyone grab a hand communicator?” I asked as I looked at the group. I got a bunch of heads shaking “no”, and a lot of “fuck me were going to die” looks. “Everest, Demoness, Mountain; find any holes in the armor of the building and plug them. Wild Ride, Marijuana; look for any weapons we can use.” It was too late to get mad about our own stupidity, now it was time to do something about it.
As I searched for weapons I flipped over a piece of fallen metal. Under the scrap lay an old Raggedy Andy doll. It had obviously been lying there a long time. When I reached for the doll it suddenly floated up into the air and started twirling about as if someone was dancing with it. Then I saw a child’s lip prints appear in the dust on its face. Then it all clicked, I knew the answer I was looking for. I knew who the ghost was and what needed to be done about it.
I stood and turned to see mountain staring at the doll with open fear in his eyes. “Don’t worry, Mountain, it is not a death totem, it is just a doll and a young girl is very happy to see it again. Get the others ready, we are going back to the ship.”
“How?”, he grumbled under his breath.
“The five of you are going to cover me while I run for the ship. I will then swing the shuttle over and park it right in front of the door. Once you are on board it will be a nice quiet ride back to the ship.” As I spoke I moved over to the door, I opened it just a crack to look out. There were about thirty or forty small mounds around the hut that had not been there when we came in.
I pulled my pistol and fired at one of the mounds. It did not even react as the web of energy played across it. Apparently there armor plating made them nearly immune to energy weapon fire. I was going to have to run the gauntlet hoping my crew could hit the creatures before the rose up to attack me.
As they positioned themselves the Raggedy Andy doll floated up in front of me. Then it seemed to try and thrust itself into my hand. I looked down about where the girl’s eyes should be. “Do you want me to take it with me for luck?”
The doll shook its head no.
“I need to run to the ship, and I have to have my hands clear.” I said softly.
The doll again shook its head no.
“I have to; we will all die if we stay here.”
One more time the doll shook its head no, then it dropped to the floor at my feet.
I turned to the others, “set your weapons to kill and wait till I get my nerve up.” I was waiting for them to ready themselves when I heard the shuttle engines fire up. I looked out the crack in the door just in time to see the shuttle start to lift off. The mounds lifted up revealing the cats under their armor.
The shuttle started to turn in the air and then the slug cannons underneath opened fire. The first few shots went wide and ripped into the building only about thirty feet away from us. Now I was scared, if the cats didn’t get us an inexperienced ghost girl would. Then the cannons opened up again and started ripping into the ground between us and the ship.
I watched as the cannons ripped holes in the ground causing the ballcats to scatter. Then as they ran the cannons started ripping into the creatures themselves. When the cannons stilled again I grabbed the doll at my feet and shouted. “Now! Make for the shuttle!”
We ran like our feet were on fire and our asses were catching it. Over our heads we heard the cannons open up again. With a cyclic rate of a thousand rounds per second those cannons almost seem to purr. As we ran under the shuttle headed for the rear ramp, the inducer cannons opened up. I could hear the ballcats screaming in pain as the inducers hit.
I reached the ramp and Demoness tossed me up to Mountain. One by one we boarded. When Demoness, the last on-board, jumped up, I closed the ramp. “Wild Ride, get up front and take over for Mighty Mouse.”
“Who the hell is Mighty Mouse?”
“None other than Miss MD Roberts herself,” I said as I motioned for her to take over the shuttle. Wild Ride ran to the front and a few moments later I held out the doll. It was lightly taken from my grasp. “Thank you, Mighty Mouse, you saved our butts back there. I need to ask you a few questions now and it can’t wait till we get back to the ship.”
The doll shrugged.
“First you have an option, we can put your freezer couch in a rescue shuttle and send you back to earth. It will take about two years to make the trip. Or you could stay with us and explore this side of the galaxy. Do you want to go back to Earth?”
The doll shook its head no.
“There are a few things about going deep you need to know before we wake you up. On the ship I am the first last and only voice of authority. Do you have any problem with following my orders?”
The doll again shook its head no.
“There are also some sexual freedom rules you will have to live with when you come of age at sixteen. Yes I know you are over three hundred, that doesn’t count.” I then explained the sexual rules of the ship. “Do you have any problem with living a free lifestyle? No one will force you; you just have to be open to the requests of the others.”
The doll seemed almost to think for a while, then it shook its head yes.
“Then my young friend, I will shake your hand and welcome you to the crew when you wake up. My first order to you is, no playing in the halls in ghost from while you are supposed to be sleeping.”

To My Wife

A love poem…third post from the point of view of my older friend Gary (aka 67Goat)

love is a whore

Although this is not my first time on this site, it will be my first
time posting. By the way I almost tagged this poem first time, I
thought that was for first time writers. How stupid of me. I don’t
like rules so I didn’t follow any. As I said, this is my first time
posting so please don’t jerk me around. But you can jerk off using
this poem…
He arrives home from work
Fuck is what he says first
His pants bulge
And he kisses me with his hand in my butt
But…but. My speech is abruptly cut
As he curbs my mouth with his tongue
He turns me on, my nipples are hard
He removes my skirt
We’ve been doing this for months
And I seldom cum
Yet I can’t resist what’s about to come
He injects his fingers into my cunt
He then put them in his mouth and slowly sucks
He throws me on the sack
He removes his pants
Exposing his cock, wet with pre-cum
And yes, I hate that it’s large
It always makes my cunt hurt after we fuck
I remove my panties and bra
And he thrusts his giant into my snatch
He fucks me rough
And twat feels every thrust
My tits feel every single touch
Hoping he will last long enough
Long enough to make me cum
Not a chance, he cums too fast.
He always cums first
And I will always put him first
I hate this love.
His tongue prods deep into my twat
My clit gets large, hoping to get sucked
Not a chance, he doesn’t even know where it’s at
He gets bored and grasps my ass
He turns me over so I lay on my back
He spreads my ass cheeks with his hands
He forces his cock in my tiny ass
Fucking it as hard as he can
I scream and moan, not because of fun
And here I thought we were making love
I always cum last
And it’s so sad that I use my hand
I look at his eyes as he cums
They are always filled with lust
Mine are filled with love
A love I wish I didn’t have
He fills my face with cum
And then he commands me to suck
I get dressed and I leave
He does me as he please
Pleasing me is what he does least
We fuck like jack rabbits
Until sometimes cum is all I see
And yet I love him still
Pleasing him is not easy
He even forgot I had a clit
All he sees is my slit
I think am not the bitch, he is
I never wanted this
I wanted a man, an Adonis
Not a rude jerk with a penis
I wish I could control my feelings
I wonder why I love him still
He comes to me naked and touches me
I try to resist, my emotions overpower me
Damn fuck, why am I tripping
God, why am I stripping?
I get down on my knees
He pushes his cock hard down my throat
Not caring even if I choke
He pulls my hair and pinches my nipples
He fucks my mouth till am soar
Tears flow down my face and fall on the floor
Why does he treat me like a whore?
He plays with heart, now it’s broke
He fucks my body mind and soul
But somehow I like being a whore
And I want more and more.

Urban Renewal: A Cautionary Tale

Urban Renewal: A Cautionary Tale
By rutger5 (An Original Story – Copyright 2012)
We’d always wanted to live in the city, my wife Julianne and I that is. Coming from the suburbs right on the outskirts of New York we already spent a lot of time there going to events and shows plus I worked at a Fortune 500 company located downtown. There were only two problems I saw with moving there.
One it is astronomically expensive to buy in NYC. Depending on the neighborhood just an apartment can easily set you back more than a million which was certainly beyond our price range. Plus we wanted more than that and at a minimum we needed two bedrooms as we had a daughter, our little angel Mia.
She was the main reason I was hesitant to move to the city. Things had greatly improved in our lifetime as far as crime rates and things like that went but I still worried about her growing up in the city. We’d both been raised where you had a backyard to play in and kids could ride their bikes in the street and I wanted that for Mia. But Julianne persisted in wanting to live in the heart of the city. She felt it would be such an incredible experience for Mia to grow up with all the city had to offer including museums and the like.
So we continued looking but only if the home matched all our criteria would we go any further when one day my wife called me. Our real estate agent said she’d found the perfect property but due to its below market price we’d have to act fast. Julianne’s mother watched little Mia so she could travel to the city and after work we met the agent at the address.
It did have a lot going for it. It was a brownstone and because it was about to be foreclosed on the seller was very motivated putting it in our price range though just barely. I did have a few reservations though. It looked like it needed some work and it was located in Bedford-Stuyvesant which is a somewhat sketchy neighborhood but the realtor pointed out it was by the Clinton Hill border which was a little more gentrified. It wasn’t going to become Park Slope or Williamsburg overnight but it was improving and there was no way we could afford a brownstone in those pricier areas.
“We should really move on this honey. It won’t last long and if we’re going to move to the city it makes sense now before Mia has started first grade in the fall” my wife said with a hopeful expression.
Julianne made a lot of sense there. Mia was finishing kindergarten now and it would be better if she was able to be in the city schools in time for first grade. So we put in an offer and before we even made it home we got a callback saying it had been accepted. It wasn’t going to be easy I told Julianne and we’d really have to scrimp and save especially since she wanted all new Sub Zero appliances as well as having the outdated kitchen totally remodeled.
She had worked before having Mia but had since quit as we both wanted our daughter to be raised by family and not by daycare or a nanny. So I’d have to work as much as possible and take on any extra project at work that I could get. But hopefully it would pay off for us in the future. I’d suggested that at least for now we could rent out the second floor for the additional money as it was now divided into two units but Julianne wouldn’t hear of it.
“ No. There is no way I’m having renters living in my house even if everything is separate” she said with an expression that promised no compromise.
In the back of my mind I hoped her position might soften but in actuality I knew she could be resolute and honestly even stubborn when the mood struck her. From the way she set her chin I doubted she would waver on this. So we lined our ducks in a row and within eight weeks we were the proud owners of a brownstone. We almost didn’t make it as an issue came up during the home inspection that we were forced to correct as the owner didn’t have the money available to do so.
My parents loaned us ten thousand dollars as all we had was already going toward the down payment and the closing costs. In fact we’d also arranged to sell our beloved Volvo to save the money we spent on its registration, insurance and maintenance. Plus keeping a car in the city was a luxury we couldn’t afford under our new financial circumstances and with the subways we’d still be able to get around.
That night after the closing Julianne and I went to our new house now that it was really ours. We tenderly made love on the wooden floor which wasn’t normal for us as Julianne was usually somewhat reserved. Raised by an Irish Catholic mother she could be surprisingly modest and old fashioned in attitude when it came to sex though she certainly did enjoy having it. When it was over she lay in my arms with her head resting on my chest as I stroked her soft brown hair and her petite body snuggled against mine. Little did I suspect that this moment was the high water mark and things would only get worse from that point on. But at the time I was unaware of what awaited me and felt blissfully happy.
We continued living in the suburbs for the next month as the kitchen was redone and things didn’t go smoothly. There was some rot in the walls which added to the cost while putting us deeper in the hole and delaying our moving in by another week. But we managed to enroll Mia in the local public school so she could begin first grade in September and friends and family pitched in to help us move when the time came so we could save money there.
We were exhausted that August night but we had managed to set up and decorate Mia’s room. On all the walls murals were painted of Disney princesses as that was what she loved the most and she wished to be. In a way she was since she was her daddy’s little princess. After tucking her in we collapsed onto our own unmade bed and fell asleep still dressed and in a way that was the pattern that continued. Obviously we didn’t sleep in our clothing every night but between the long hours I was now working combined with Julianne fixing up and decorating the house while taking care of Mia, on far too many nights we were too tired for sex.
Even when we had it we just went through the motions a lot of the time. Often in the past Mia would spend the night with one set of her grandparents during the weekend. On those occasions we’d have marathon lovemaking sessions that would stretch into the next day but since we had moved to Brooklyn they became just a distant memory. There were times Julianne would get in little digs at me for not doing my husbandly duty enough and sometimes I’d respond in frustration to her barbs.
I felt she should have more understanding as I was working late just about every night now. Plus on the weekends I was trying to fix up little things in the house to save money though I was no handyman. It especially bothered me because it had been Julianne that had really pushed for us to buy now and it was her wanting the kitchen remodeled with expensive appliances that had put us into such debt. She also refused to agree to rent out part of the building to help us defray the mortgage so I was forced to work excessively.
It’s true she looked after Mia and the house but it just wasn’t the same and I hadn’t gotten upset with her anyway. If we could survive like this for a while then things would become much easier in the future I felt. The brightest spot during this period for me was my little daughter. She was so excited about starting first grade – real school she called it. We brought her together on her first day and that morning I went in late to work so I could witness it. We took pictures of Mia in her new outfit with her princess backpack and she was very brave and not scared at all. She was already introducing herself to her schoolmates and I knew she’d be making friends in no time.
In the coming days in order to keep herself busy Julianne became something of a class mom and she spent a lot of time going to PTA meetings and volunteering for school activities and basically helping out where needed. This was a good thing I believed as a lot of the children came from single family and broken homes with no parental encouragement of any kind. In fact many of the parents never did a thing to help out even if it would have benefited their own children. So in no time she knew all the teachers and administrators as well as any parents that actually cared about how things went in the school.
Meanwhile Mia did very well in class as she was an intelligent girl and she already read years above her grade level so she helped some of her classmates who didn‘t. Because of this she was extremely popular and had many friends but she had a special friend, a girl named Essence Taylor. Essence was a sweet, little African-American girl and they had bonded over both loving to watch princess movies, ponies and the like.
I’d met her parents at a school function and it was obvious that they doted on their daughter. Her mother Jada in fact was a teacher at another city school while her father DeMarcus had driven a city bus until he was forced onto disability due to a chronic bad back. The two girls became inseparable and were virtually joined at the hip whenever they had the chance. In fact every time I saw Mia, which wasn’t as often as I wished due to my working late every night, she had some story about Princess Essence as she called her bff.
As we approached the beginning of winter we had settled into a routine of sorts. I’d wake Mia before then walking to the subway to catch my train to work while her mother would dress and feed her before bringing her to school. Julianne spent the day doing housework or helping at school until classes were done for the day when she’d bring Mia home. Often Essence would come with them and the girls would play until she would be picked up by one of her parents at which time ‘my girls’ would eat dinner without me.
I would usually get home late and reheat my dinner while doing more work on my laptop until I was unable to keep my eyes open. Then I’d kiss my sleeping angel good night before staggering off to bed. On the weekends I tried to come up with activities we could do as a family as it was our only chance to do so. Julianne was less enthusiastic but went along with it as the three of us rode the subway to different museums and explored all over the city.
Things had improved a little between us or at least we’d adjusted to the circumstances I believed. Julianne was no longer taking cheap shots at me and I tried my best to do little romantic things for her when I could. We still weren’t making love as often as we used to. In fact recently there had been some nights when I’d attempted to be romantic and I was rebuffed due to my wife having a headache. Julianne could get severe migraines so I was always understanding when this happened. Still we were trying to get back to where we used to be I truly believed.
Then one evening I managed to get home earlier than usual. I was still too late for family dinner but Mia was awake so I was able to give her a bath and then tuck her in. I read her Cinderella and made voices for all the characters which delighted her to no end. It was such a nice moment for us both I didn’t want it to end. Since she was still awake after the story finished I started to talk to her about how things in her life were going. Of course she told me happily all about school and Princess Essence and how she loved her new backyard and that she wanted a puppy. Then she said something that seemed a little odd to me.
“I like playing in the backyard Daddy but yesterday I was playing with Princess Essence there and Mommy locked us out of the house.”
“Why would she do that sweetie? Are you sure? Maybe you made a mistake.”
“Oh no Daddy. Cause Princess Essence had to pee pee and we tried to get in but we couldn’t. Then we knocked on the door loud and finally she let us in and said she was sorry.”
“Okay Princess Mia, well you girls came inside then so no harm was done.”
“Well” she answered in a quiet voice “Princess Essence couldn’t wait so she peed in her pants and her daddy had to take her home right away. He got mad about that but Mommy said he had to bring her home.”
“So he came and got her then?”
“He didn’t have to come cause he was already here. But I’m not supposed to say that, Mommy told me not to. Sorry, am I in trouble Daddy?”
“No, of course not sweetie. Just don’t mention it to Mommy that you told me and I won’t either. Now its getting late and you need to go to sleep and dream nice dreams until you wake up. Can you do that for me?”
She nodded and I leaned down and kissed her good night before shutting off the light and leaving her room. What she’d told me was strange for sure but I didn’t want to read too much into it though I admit I had a bad premonition. I waited until later that night when I had the right opportunity where Julianne was relaying something about what Mia and Essence had done in school that day to broach the subject.
“Mia told me earlier that they were accidentally locked in the yard the other day” I said in a nonchalant fashion.
A look crossed her face but just as quickly her expression returned to the placid one she had before I’d spoken.
“That silly girl. They weren’t locked out. For some reason they had trouble opening the door is all. Poor Essence had a little accident which probably upset them further. I had to call her house so she could be picked up early” Julianne replied.
During our conversation I wasn’t directly facing her but from the corner of my eye I saw her furtively looking at me as she talked. When I let the subject drop and changed it to something else she appeared relieved. A little later that night before I had a chance to approach her romantically Julianne informed me that she felt one of her headaches coming on and she was going to bed early. That made me even more apprehensive than I’d been. Another night where we didn’t make love and all I could think about was either Mia was mistaken about more than one thing in regard to the day before or that Julianne was hiding something.
My sleep was troubled by nightmares that night and I felt even more like a zombie the next morning than I had recently. After waking my little girl I headed downstairs to head out to work. Julianne was in the kitchen sipping coffee so I went to kiss her goodbye. I noticed she was wearing makeup and perfume and seemed very upbeat and full of energy.
“How are you feeling this morning Jul?” I asked.
“Good, the headache has gone away. Sleep is the only real cure dear. I feel so good I think I might go shopping after I drop Mia off” she told me in an offhand way.
“Well don’t spend too much – we can’t afford it” I replied with a hint of annoyance in my voice.
“I know that Sam, really sometimes you can be impossible” she said while making no effort at hiding her displeasure.
That morning seemed to be from a nightmare. The A Train was late and when it arrived it was jam packed with the polyglot mass that was New York City. My head pounded from the clanking of the train and ached from the multitude of voices as I was jostled and buffeted during my short ride into downtown Manhattan. And through it all one thought burned in my brain. My wife, the sweet girl I had fallen in love with, was being unfaithful!
I seethed with anger and I literally saw red. The world seemed to be washed with blood to my tired eyes. Every rider appeared sinister in look or intent to me but I knew it was just my own black mood. While I climbed the stairs up to the street I managed to calm myself and my anger was pushed just below the surface allowing me to function normally. Because I’d remembered something. In order for lower insurance rates I’d installed a security system with digital cameras. I could simply go onto my computer and check the day in question to see if Essence’s father was there earlier than my wife said and I prayed Julianne was telling me the truth.
My face outwardly displayed none of the turmoil I was feeling as I approached my desk. I returned the greetings from my co-workers like any other morning but all I cared about was getting on my computer to see. There was no pretense on my part once I logged on of checking my e-mails or for anything work related. Immediately I accessed the security site and signed in. Once there I pulled up the surveillance footage from two days before and ran it from the early morning. I watched the image of myself leaving for work and a little later saw Julianne and Mia head off to school.
It felt like a kick to my stomach when less than an hour after leaving Julianne returned and she wasn’t alone. Towering over my petite wife was Essence’s father DeMarcus. He hovered behind her, his large hands resting on her tiny upper arms as she unlocked the front door. They disappeared from sight as the door closed behind them. It took only seconds in real time but it was over five hours in actual elapsed time when they emerged outside again.
When Julianne had entered the house earlier she’d been wearing skinny jeans and a sweater under her leather jacket. Now to go along with her bubble jacket she had on her VS sweatpants professing her love of pink. It was strong evidence though circumstantial, not that it mattered. With no-fault divorce both parties were treated the same whether guilty or innocent. If that’s where we were headed she could get a sympathetic judge who’d order me to move out and pay all her bills while living on the street for all I knew. Not that such a possibility was my primary thought at the moment.
No, all I was thinking about was escaping the black chasm of hurt and pain I found myself in. The place I’d been transported to by what I’d seen. But even under that crushing burden some of my idiosyncrasies remained. In my mind not an iota of doubt remained but somehow I needed more proof and I knew how to get it. The security surveillance system was high tech and expandable. Right now all that was connected was a camera located at both the front and back doors but it had the ability to have four more cameras linked without any further upgrades.
Searching online I found where I could obtain a set of four compatible wireless cameras for around one hundred dollars total. I ordered them immediately and paid the extra money for next day delivery as well as having them sent to my office. We’d been planning on going and staying at Julianne’s parents during the coming weekend and I saw my chance.
On Friday night I mentioned that I wasn’t feeling well and if I didn’t recover by the next morning then it would be better for me to stay home and rest. The toughest part was saying goodbye to Mia that morning. When she heard I wasn’t going she volunteered to stay home and keep me company but I dissuaded her, as did her mother.
“Don’t worry Mia. Daddy will be fine. If you don’t go Nana and Papa will be very disappointed. This way Daddy can rest so he’ll feel better Monday and not have to miss any work.”
When she said that I almost bit my tongue to stop from answering her. What’s the matter I thought, can’t have me home sick for even one day where you’ll have to go without. But somehow I held my tongue even after she kissed me goodbye on my cheek to avoid my ‘germs’.
The first thing I did after they left was to log on to the security site. Randomly I checked a number of days over the past month and on every day but one DeMarcus was there during school hours. Still I’d always been one to flog a dead horse so I continued forward with my plan. I hoped that by literally seeing what they were doing would be the last nail in the coffin that had been my love.
One of the cameras I placed in the living room on top of the entertainment armoire. It was a tall armoire and I knew that Julianne wouldn’t see it up there. She was barely over five feet in height, in fact she always joked she was five feet and a quarter inch which I used to love about her. Maybe if she was cleaning on top of the armoire then she’d see it but where would she find the time to clean with all her recent alley cat behavior.
Next I went and examined where in our bedroom would be the best location to place a camera. It had to get a good view of the bed while being hidden. Finally I settled on a closet shelf where I could conceal it partially behind some of my shoe boxes. It might work as the closet door had louvers but I wasn’t sure. So I put a second camera under my dresser with the lens pointing at an upward angle. Neither might get a perfect shot but it wasn’t like I was making a movie just trying to get incontrovertible proof.
After they were set up I logged on so that I could see if they worked. While none was perfect I was able to see the rooms in question good enough. Since I had one camera remaining I decided to put it in the kitchen since it was there that the door to the backyard was located. Now that the work was done I would just have to be patient and wait until the following week.
Being alone with nothing to do and in a bad state of mind I began to drink some. These days I didn’t often partake as in the past I enjoyed it a little too much but since Mia was born I had greatly cut down. But right now it was just what the doctor ordered I reasoned. Of course the more I drank the angrier I became and bad thoughts now filled my brain.
The sanest idea I had was to try and figure out a way that I could take Mia and disappear from New York and start a brand new life elsewhere, just the two of us. But I knew it would never work though it was nice to imagine. I knew my little princess would never do anything to crush me as her whore mother had. My other thoughts were dark and violent and frankly that surprised me a little as I’d never been that kind of person. Hell, I didn’t even support the death penalty and here I was fantasizing about the most extreme and violent deaths I could inflict on Julianne and DeMarcus.
Somehow none of them seemed excessive enough though. My favorite ones were inspired by some classic Hollywood celluloid. What I thought about was a foolproof way to kill Julianne and then frame DeMarcus for the crime. The thought of that made me smile and chuckle in my sorry mental state. But even drunk I realized that in all probability it would never work. I’d somehow mess up and leave some evidence and it would be me ending up in prison leaving Mia an orphan and I couldn’t bear that thought.
While dreaming of violent revenge made me feel a little bit better I also knew that wasn’t the real me. Still it helped me make it through Saturday night and into Sunday. On Monday I would get proof positive so none could deny it and proceed from there. For I was determined that if Julianne continued with her inappropriate conduct that I would get custody of Mia. There was no way I’d let her have Mia while carrying on with a married man.
The girls didn’t arrive until early Sunday evening and somehow I acted like all was well as I didn’t wish to upset Mia. Soon enough her young life would be thrown into turmoil by the sins of her elders. Before I left for work Monday morning I forced myself to be as nice as possible to Julianne. Maybe if she’d said or done something like the old Julianne would have it might have changed events but it was obvious that she couldn’t wait for me to leave. No doubt she was already thinking about the fun she’d be having later as I toiled to make it all possible.
When I arrived at the office I somehow put these thoughts out of my head and got right to work. Last week I hadn’t pulled my weight due to what I was going through mentally and I knew in the future there would be plenty of distractions and probably many days I’d have to take off. So I really bore down and worked straight through the morning and into mid afternoon before finally stopping for a break.
Unfortunately once I did all my troubled thoughts rushed back to the fore. In spite of my best efforts to resist I found myself again logging onto the security site. Taking a deep breath first I then began to watch the front outside camera feed from early in the morning on fast forward. I saw myself head away from the house followed soon after by Julianne and Mia. Unsurprisingly Julianne returned with DeMarcus shortly after and the two of them hurried inside. I switched to the living room camera right afterwards and even with knowing what was coming it still shook me to the core of my being when actually witnessing it.
There before me on the computer screen, recorded only a few hours earlier was my wife, the woman I’d pledged eternal love and devotion to, acting like a common slut. No sooner did they enter the living room then DeMarcus slapped Julianne on her small, cute ass causing her to turn back to him and smile. She then put both of their jackets on a chair and immediately after that sank to her knees in front of him.
Julianne’s small hand started rubbing against his crotch while her other was already undoing his baggy jeans. He pushed them down once she successfully unbuttoned them freeing his half hard cock as he wasn’t wearing underwear. Julianne immediately reacted and took his cock with her hand and held it steady so she could wrap her lips around it. Once ready she took as much as she could fit in one smooth movement. After which she rapidly began sliding her mouth along its length in an effort to harden it fully.
DeMarcus ran a hand through her silky hair as she worked his piece deep and he seemed to be greatly enjoying her efforts as he swiftly hardened. She pulled her mouth off him and then started to run her pink tongue the length of his cock from the bulbous head all the way down the long, broad shaft until reaching his big, heavy balls. She actually worked one into her mouth and sucked on it for a moment before releasing it and then licking back in an upward direction.
Her right hand cradled his balls as she again swallowed his head and what she did next really hurt me deeply. As I watched her bob her pretty head on the top half of his hardness her left hand began to stroke the lower half. What stood out to me the most, even more than the contrast between her milky white skin and his dark ebon erection, was watching her wedding and engagement rings on her ring finger as she jerked him. They were supposed to be symbols of our eternal union but instead they mocked me for my misguided trust in her.
As this went on I watched him pull his shirt over his head and toss it onto the couch after which he appeared to be speaking to her. Julianne pulled her head from his cock which appeared to be coated in her saliva before she unlaced his sneakers. DeMarcus stepped out of both them and his jeans as my adulterous wife stood. He directed her to the couch and followed behind her as she moved there.
She knelt on a cushion facing the back of the couch and once she had Julianne unbuttoned her own jeans and worked them down to mid thigh. She then wiggled her small ass to encourage him as he moved right behind her. With the location of the camera where it was in relation to the position of the couch I observed as much of his hard cock disappeared inside her in one thrust. Her lovely face turned sideways so that she was now unknowingly facing the direction of the camera and I could see that her eyes were closed and her open mouth formed an O as she moaned. Not for the first time I was glad that there was no sound to go along with the video. If I heard what was going on I believe I might have lost my mind.
I knew Julianne’s pussy had to be soaked in order to swallow that much cock with no foreplay. But she took it deep and judging by her reaction she wanted even more. Her hips went backwards as she fucked him and her hand grabbed a hold of his upper leg to gain leverage. For the next couple of minutes my wife maintained a rapid pace of backing into DeMarcus as deep as her tight little pussy could take while he stood there and enjoyed it.
I observed her saying something to him after which he leaned forward a little and started lifting her shirt. She had to release his leg so that he was able to remove it from her and once he did I saw she was wearing a fancy black Agent Provocateur bra. It didn’t remain on her for long though as his big hand unsnapped it allowing Julianne to slip it off freeing her pert breasts.
They were small, barely more than bumps with juicy mouth watering pink nipples on top but as I knew they were extremely sensitive and responsive. He must have known it too because once they were free he reached out his big hands and took hold of them and squeezed them roughly. Again her mouth opened in a moan and now DeMarcus took control of their coupling.
Where before he’d been content to let her set the pace DeMarcus now fucked her hard. With his large body turned sideways in regards to the camera position I watched his big ass pumping rapidly as he drove deep into Julianne’s pink paradise with each thrust. He kept hold of her breasts as he did so preventing her body from moving in reaction to the pounding she was receiving.
Finally after it appeared that they’d never stop he released her breasts and took a step backwards. His long cock popped free and it was slick from her vaginal juices. With one hand he grasped his shaft while his other wrapped in her brown hair. Slowly and unsteadily she climbed off the couch at which time he pulled her head down to his crotch. Julianne extended her tongue and swirled it around the head before opening her mouth wide and engulfing him.
DeMarcus then fucked her face for a minute before pulling her off him by her hair. He motioned to the couch while saying something after which Julianne positioned herself on her back on the couch. She kicked her sneakers off after which he yanked her pants from her. Her pussy was right at the edge of the couch and she held her legs up in the air and spread wide for him. He crouched down with his legs spaced far apart and brought his cock to her entrance. It appeared as if she was begging for cock but instead he rubbed it against the outside of her lips teasing her.
Unwilling to wait Julianne released one of her legs and grasping him just below his head she guided it to her waiting hole. With a cocky grin he pushed it deep inside her as he grabbed both her slim thighs and lifted them higher. Now that her body position was to his liking he sped up his rhythm to a fast pace. In spite of this he showed no signs of slowing or stopping. I had to grudgingly admit that he displayed remarkable sexual stamina but that only made the torture worse for me.
Finally though even he must have reached his breaking point as he had yanked Julianne partially off the couch so half her body was in the air. As he continued banging her suddenly with no warning he stopped as his body stiffened and tensed and for a minute he didn’t move except for slightly hanging his head. Julianne on the other hand now wrapped her slim white legs around his thick waist and hooked her feet. She also stroked his head with her left hand again flashing her rings to my hurt eyes.
They stayed like that for a minute before DeMarcus slid one of his large arms under her lower back while she twined her much smaller ones around his thick neck. Placing his other hand against the couch for support he stood upright taking her with him. Once standing his hands grabbed her ass cheeks and began to raise and lower her sexy, petite body onto his still hard cock. In this position the contrast in their body sizes really stood out. Julianne was so tiny in comparison to him. She barely weighed one hundred pounds and was thin while DeMarcus easily weighed over double that and from his torso to his heavy limbs he was thick everywhere.
From the look on her face Julianne was loving it and in fact I could see she was using her arms to assist him. Her body bounced up and down as she rode him and this went on for a few minutes until DeMarcus began to walk with her from the living room and out of the camera’s range. Staring at my now empty living room I was torn on whether to switch to another camera. I already had all the evidence I needed and I’d never considered myself a masochist but somehow I felt I had to watch to the bitter end. Maybe that was what it would take to purge all positive emotions and memories I had of her. With a trembling hand I clicked the link to one of the bedroom cameras.
No surprise when I saw him lying on the bed, our bed – my bed, as the bitch knelt between his legs and her mouth again sucked his thick black cock. After a little while she stopped and moved forward so she was straddling him. Her small hand grasped him and unerringly guided him back to her pussy and once set she impaled herself on it.
It was getting to be too much for me to take so I hit fast forward. Though I kept the picture up on my screen I no longer stared at it. When I noticed that in real time she had been riding DeMarcus for over a half hour with him occasionally pinching or sucking one of her erect nipples with no signs of stopping I could take no more. Disgustedly I closed the window and stood and stretched my cramping muscles.
It was now well beyond my normal lunch hour not that I felt too hungry. Still I had to get out if just for some air. A couple of minutes later I stood on a crowded Manhattan street. Though late fall the sun was still shining and to most the world appeared the same but not to me. I began to walk aimlessly until I saw a bar across the street from me.
Five minutes later I sat inside at a table as I downed a Jameson in one gulp. I ordered a burger and fries though I was unable to force down more than a few swallows. The two additional drinks I ordered I consumed fully though so that when I left I felt a tiny bit better. On the way back to the office I came across a liquor store where I made a quick detour.
A little later I was back at my desk though all I did was stare vacantly into space. It was only at 6:00 P.M. when most people had left for the day that I roused myself again. Slipping the bottle from my coat pocket I cracked it and poured myself a stiff one. If I was going to confront Julianne tonight then I might as well get plastered first. As I sipped the whiskey I again logged on the site and decided to check what had happened later that afternoon.
So I watched as Julianne, DeMarcus, Mia and Essence arrived at the house. They settled in the kitchen first where she gave the girls a snack at the table. Once they were finished Julianne sent them one at a time to the bathroom and when they were finished the girls put on their coats as she ushered them into the backyard.
No sooner had she closed the door then DeMarcus who was right behind her nuzzled her slender neck as his hand reached for the backdoor lock. She broke free from him and turned and faced him and it appeared as if she was disagreeing with his plans. For a minute or two they talked and gestured and it seemed he wasn’t happy. Finally he threw his hands up in the air as if to say whatever. He then said something with an angry look on his face.
Julianne reached her hand out in a conciliatory manner but he pushed it away brusquely. She looked like she was pleading with him but it seemed to have no effect until finally I took it he got his way. DeMarcus smiled as he now locked the door and pulled down his pants. Julianne picked up a bottle of extra virgin olive oil from the countertop and unscrewed the lid. Pouring some on her hand she rubbed it onto his hard cock, especially on the swollen head.
He took the bottle from her and applied a little more to himself as she unbuttoned her pants and wriggled them to her knees. DeMarcus pushed her down so that she was bent over with her ass sticking out while her hands pressed against the door at her waist level. He dipped his fingers in oil and then pressed them against her tiny asshole and when he did I watched her slight body tremble.
Now this was the final insult to me. It was pretty obvious what was about to happen as he now forced two thick fingers into her backdoor. Since I’d first had sex with Julianne ten years ago there were certain things that she wouldn’t do or even consider. Assplay was number one on that list. On occasions when licking her sweet pussy or perhaps even just brushing it with my finger in passing she would physically recoil from any contact with her little rosebud.
Once during a drunken New Years Eve session I decided since she was tipsy to give it another try. So while performing cunnilingus on her I started to give her asshole a real tongue lashing. She pushed me away firmly and told me in no uncertain terms that ‘back there’ was not one of her erogenous zones and if I loved her I wouldn’t do that again. Being the sucker I now recognized myself to be I of course relented and even apologized to her.
And now as I watched it was obvious that DeMarcus was under no such restrictions. After a minute of him forcefully finger fucking her brown hole he appeared ready. Spacing his legs widely he lined up his big cock head with her tiny sphincter and began working it in. This couldn’t have been the first time they’d done this as his progress was too fast and easy for it to have been.
Steadily he slid further in until his big balls rested against Julianne’s pink pussy lips. Once buried he waited a few seconds before starting to move but once he began he didn’t take it easy. Immediately he pounded her hard and with each thrust I saw her petite body shake from the force. They hadn’t been going for more than a minute or two when he stopped moving. Twisting his body he reached to the counter and picked up a dish towel.
Julianne turned her face to look back at which time he handed it to her. She put it in her mouth and bit down on it and then put her hand back against the door. With her now ready DeMarcus went to town on my wife’s cute ass. He aggressively fucked her, in fact so much so that while he was pounding her Julianne’s body started to sink toward the floor even with her hands against the door. He pulled his cock out and pointed to the floor at which time she knelt on the tiles on the kitchen floor with her head right by the door and her ass sticking as high in the air as she could manage.
Keeping his legs spread wide he crouched down until he could again force his way into her ass. DeMarcus rested one hand on her butt and leaned on the door with the other at which time he resumed thrusting. Maybe it was the tightness of her ass or that the girls were in the backyard just beyond the door that spurred him on to completion. The rapid pace of his pumping must have also contributed for in less than ten minutes he pulled his big cock from her hole and I saw it was shooting cum as he did so.
The thick white fluid landed on her upturned ass but even as it did Julianne was moving. First removing the towel she then twisted her torso around and up so that DeMarcus could bring his still spewing cock to her mouth. He had shot most of his load by this time but the last few small spurts found her cheek before she could take him into her mouth. As she sucked and licked his spent cock I couldn’t help but observe that her face was streaked by tears and that her brown eyes were still watery no doubt caused by his hard ass fucking.
Love can turn to hate pretty quickly and it’s a thin line even in the best of circumstances really. And at that moment I felt real hate for her. Maybe there was still some love lurking somewhere deep inside me but the hate far outweighed it. Shutting down my computer I then sat there and brooded and drank and brooded some more. It was now almost ten at night as I dragged myself to my feet. Putting my laptop in its bag I next put on my long trench coat as I prepared to leave.
Seeing the half finished bottle of whiskey I slipped that in my inner coat pocket before departing. The subway station was empty by this time of night as downtown Manhattan is still mostly commercial and most area workers had long since returned to their homes. When the train arrived I unsteadily staggered on board though as it was approaching the platform I had a momentary urge to throw my body before it in the depths of my despair.
It was visions of Mia’s face as well as not wanting Julianne to defeat me that prevented me from ending it. There were only a few other people in the car I sat in not that I paid much attention in my condition. When I reached my stop I rose to my feet and exited the train. Walking slowly I passed out through the turnstile and headed in the direction of the staircase that would take me to the street above.
I was about to begin climbing when I heard someone approaching rapidly from the rear of me. Without warning a hand grabbed my shoulder and pushed me against the wall. Turning my head I found myself staring into the barrel of a gun not two feet from my face.
“Give me all you got muthafucker” the voice demanded harshly as I felt my laptop bag pulled roughly from my shoulder.
“Come on, come on, I want your fucking wallet” the thug demanded as he waved the gun “and your phone as well.”
Mechanically I reached into my pocket and removed my wallet which I handed to him before taking my Blackberry from my waist which he snatched. I’m not sure if it was my level of intoxication or maybe I was in shock but as this happened I felt calm and unafraid in spite of being threatened by an armed robber. Once he had my possessions the man shoved me toward the stairs.
“Now get the fuck out of here and don’t think about calling the cops” he yelled at me.
When he pushed me my momentum carried me in that direction but I stumbled and had to steady myself. By this time he’d turned away and was moving slowly back toward the station as he examined my wallet and he seemed to have forgotten I was there or maybe he was just overconfident.
At that moment something snapped in my brain and I acted without conscious thought. Pulling the whiskey bottle from my inside pocket I rushed at his departing figure. He must’ve heard me but before he was able to fully turn I was on him and with one powerful swing the bottle connected with his skull. Every bit of anger and rage I’d been feeling went into that blow, not only what I felt at the robber but also what was caused by my whore of a wife and her scumbag lover.
Glass shattered and flew in every direction as did the whiskey that’d still been in the bottle. The man fell to the concrete floor heavily where he also struck his head injuring him further. When he hit the ground the items he’d held scattered about the floor including the gun but at that moment I didn’t care. With one hand resting on the wall to support myself I started to kick the semi-conscious man. For the most part I kicked him in his body and he was so out of it he was unable to even try and protect himself.
It was only when I became out of breath that I stopped. He just lay there in a huddled mass whimpering in pain. In spite of my drunkenness the physical activity had cleared my head a little not that I was in my right mind yet. But my brain was working some so I realized it was best to get my stuff and get out of there. It took but a minute to recover my phone and wallet and pocket them. When I went for my laptop the gun was within my reach and guided by something I picked it up.
Now I was certainly no expert when it came to firearms but I had handled them before. A good friend of mine from back home actually competed in target shooting and on more than one occasion I’d went with him to the range when he practiced. I was no sharpshooter but I still had fired a gun many times and knew the basics.
The gun I now held was a Ruger nine millimeter semi-automatic and its serial number had been defaced meaning it was illegal and most likely stolen. Looking around first and seeing no one about I slipped it into my inner coat pocket then I picked up my computer bag and stood. With one final kick to his body I turned and hurried to the street above.
Maybe it was my near brush with death but I was in a better mood then I’d recently been in. As I walked to my house I actually whistled an off key tune as I thought. Maybe I wasn’t really thinking clearly but it seemed to me that the way things had just happened was fate. With all that had been going wrong in my life recently I was meant to do what I’d done which also meant I was supposed to have the gun.
When I arrived home it was silent and dark but it was pretty late. Not being able to bear seeing Julianne after what I’d observed earlier I put my coat and bag on the living room floor and sat in my recliner. Since he’d fucked her on the couch there was no way I could sit there so closing my eyes I made due with the chair.
When I awoke the next morning my back was stiff but remarkably that was the extent of things. My head was clear and I had no ill effects from my drinking or barely eating the day before. It was right around the time I normally got up so I headed to the bathroom and got in the shower. That refreshed me greatly and once I’d shaven I felt almost human.
I had to go into the bedroom to dress but Julianne was still under the covers and didn’t say a word as I did. Next I went to Mia’s room and stared at my little sleeping angel. She looked so adorable as she slept under her princess sheets and I waited to wake her for as long as possible. I just wanted to remember that picture in my mind always no matter what might lie ahead.
It was only when I heard Julianne stirring that I reluctantly woke Mia. When she opened her eyes I gave her the biggest hug and I told her I loved her more than anything in the world. While I was leaving her room I could feel the tears in my eyes. It was when I retrieved my coat and bag that the memory of last night really came back to me. My coat reeked of whiskey and I was very aware of the weight of the gun. Just as I was heading out the door I heard Julianne calling out to me but without pausing I closed the door quietly behind me. While I walked down the street I dialed my job on my cellphone and informed them that I wouldn’t be coming in to work.
Since I had to wait for Mia to go to school before confronting Julianne and probably DeMarcus I decided to have breakfast first. There wasn’t really anywhere nearby to go so I hopped on the subway and got off in downtown Brooklyn by Borough Hall. There I found a Starbucks and ordered breakfast then sat at a table while I had it. I had gotten a few strange looks due no doubt to stinking like alcohol but I ignored them. Though I wasn’t a fan of Starbucks particularly I knew they had wifi so I opened my laptop and logged on. Like clockwork Julianne arrived with DeMarcus shortly after taking Mia to school.
Since I expected that I wasn’t really surprised. So I shut down my computer and headed back home. It would have been better if I’d been able to wait closer but what can you do. Unfortunately that would give them plenty of time to get busy and I didn’t want to see that in the flesh but on the other hand it would be hard to deny when caught in the act literally.
Less than a half hour later I stood outside my front door. Maybe it was because I’d survived the crucible the night before but I felt eerily calm at the moment. I had stared down death and triumphed so what could hurt me now and besides I was in the right!
Taking a deep breath I unlocked the front door and quietly stepped inside shutting the door behind me. First I put my bag on the floor off to the side before heading straight toward my bedroom. The sounds they were making, or rather Julianne was making, could clearly be heard by me. In spite of being prepared for this it still made me stop a second to collect myself.
That was when I thought of something. It really didn’t matter that I was the wronged party. When I confronted them I had no idea how they’d react. Not good probably and DeMarcus was a big man, he probably had fifty pounds on me. Prepare for all eventualities I told myself as I reached into my coat pocket and removed the gun.
Realizing I hadn’t even checked if it was loaded I examined it now. First I pulled back the slide and saw there was a bullet in the chamber. Carefully I slid it back before removing the clip. It had at least some bullets in it so I snapped the clip back into place. The safety was off and it was ready to go. Keeping it in my hand, which I kept by my side, I walked forward and turning at the door I entered the bedroom.
She was on her hands and knees on the bed and he was behind her pounding her doggy style. She saw me almost immediately though he didn’t notice right away. She scrambled forward with a shocked expression on her face which caused them to become uncoupled and made him to turn to see what she was looking at.
“Oh my God! Sam!” she screamed “what are you doing here?”
“Hello dear. I decided to surprise you today and it looks like I have” I replied calmly.
DeMarcus appeared uncertain what to do initially and maybe if he had made the right decision it would have ended differently. But after blinking at me a few times he suddenly got off the bed and faced me with the worst part being his hard cock that had just been in my wife was sticking straight out in my direction.
“Now hold on man” he said holding his hands up “we can work this out. Why don’t you back up and we’ll talk.”
“You don’t tell me what to do in my fucking house” I shouted at him “and didn’t anyone tell you it isn‘t fucking polite to point.”
“Listen I don’t want this to turn out bad so calm down now before I…” he almost growled.
“Wait DeMarcus” I heard Julianne interrupt but by this point it was too late for talk.
I’d heard enough from him now. If it wasn’t bad enough he’d been fucking my wife every day in MY bed, but now he was going to tell me what to do while threatening me.
“Wrong answer” was all I said to him.
I raised my arm and once it was aimed in the general direction of his groin I pulled the trigger. I’d forgotten how loud gunfire could be and the bedroom wasn’t that large which made it sound even worse. He grunted when he was hit but he was still standing so I shot him again and this time he fell to the floor.
Julianne had been cowering on the bed but when he fell she suddenly rolled off it and rushed in my direction. In spite of her being the truly guilty party in all this I never considered hurting her as she was the mother of my child. With my free hand I just sent her sprawling back onto the bed with a push then stepped right next to DeMarcus who was writhing in pain on the floor. There was already blood pooling besides him but there was going to be more. A lot more. What I had reluctantly started I was now going to finish.
“Sorry about this but where the fuck do you get off with what you did!” I told him as I tried to aim near where I thought his heart was located.
“Please I have a family” he gasped.
“So do I, or did until you fucked my wife! Maybe you should have thought about that before you did this! Maybe you should have thought of your wife and daughter first and not your dick!”
I fired three or four more shots into him, I’m not sure which. He was making a terrible noise when I left the room. I went and sat on my chair in the living room. From the bedroom I could hear her crying hysterically. As I sat there I wondered if I should’ve shot him more times. There was a story in the newspaper recently where someone was shot nine times and survived. And DeMarcus was a big man. But I trusted in fate. Stupid, right?
It wasn’t long before there was the sound of a siren followed by pounding at the front door of my house, but not for much longer. Good riddance! Nothing but trouble!
I answered the door and was confronted by two of New York’s Finest standing on the door step.
“There’s a gun on a chair in the living room” I told them as I put my hands in the air.
The only thing I said after that was to ask for my phone call. Thankfully my brother answered on the third ring.
“Dean, listen carefully. I’m under arrest. I just killed Julianne’s lover. You’re the only one that can help me. Thanks I knew I could count on you.”
The lawyer he arranged for was able to get me out on bail with my parents putting up their house as collateral. I stayed there as well once I’d been freed. It made more sense that way. I’m not sure where Mia was, whether with her maternal grandparents or in hiding with her mother. Either way I was so sorry for what she was going through because of me.
In spite of that I did have a surprise visitor, Julianne’s mother Maureen. She and I had always gotten along great from when I first began dating her daughter. She told me that Mia was doing fine under the circumstances and she knew as little as possible about what happened. What she said then surprised me a little but like I say we were always close.
“Sam you know I love my daughter but you’re a good man I believe and just about the best father I’ve seen. The way you and Mia…” she had to stop briefly as she got choked up when she thought about it.
“Like I said I love my daughter but what she did to you was wrong. I’m not saying what you did was right either but I can understand why. That’s all I want to say.”
We hugged and cried and I begged her to watch out for Mia.
The lawyer Dean got for me was sharp. He wanted to go with a temporary insanity defense unless the prosecutor was willing to cut a good deal. All I cared about what was finding a way to have a chance to stay in my daughter’s life. I was willing to serve some time if I’d be freed while she was still relatively young.
They had all the evidence. The video of me coming in and shooting DeMarcus. But there was also the video of what he and my wife had been up to and how that had contributed to my mental state. Then there was the subway surveillance video. While it didn’t show the altercation it did show me drunkenly walking across the camera range and the thug hurrying after me. He’d been found unconscious where I’d said I hit him and he had a lengthy rap sheet including for armed robbery. In fact that was what he was out on parole for.
That only bolstered my case that I hadn’t planned on killing DeMarcus in advance. Don’t misunderstand me – I considered my actions rational and justified under the circumstances and I was glad that I’d killed him. But he was the legal expert so I was prepared to follow his advice. Just as long as I’d be free before my little girl was all grown up. That’s all I wanted.

I am a slut (A story about blackmail)

Author’s note: I thought about this as an idea for a story. I think I’d have to write it from the female’s point of view to achieve the effect that I want. I’ll write it in parts at a time. Please let me know how it goes.
