Three Square Meals Ch. 01

By: Tefler



John smiled as the mine owner plugged in an auth device to his Ship's logging manifest and pressed a couple of buttons confirming the transaction. John was right on the outskirts of the outer rim and currently landed on a mining colony known as Karron, a huge asteroid in the process of being hollowed out to extract the mineral wealth stored within. 

 John cast his mind back to that eventful day over 2 months ago. He had been back in the Core Worlds having a drink at a local bar, known for its tolerant attitude to the odd and eccentric. His companion was a drunk deep spacer he had befriended years before. 

 The gnarled old spacer was called Jonah, or 'Mad Jonah' to the other regulars in the bar, who strongly suspected the poor unfortunate had gone space crazy years ago. John liked the old timer though and would spend hours listening to his wild stories of incredible sights beyond the outer rim. On this particular night, Jonah had recently returned from his latest jaunt into deep space and had been recounting a lurid time spent in a brothel on Karron.

 "I tell you John, those worm girls have magic hands! I ain't never felt anything like what these pale skinned jezebels could do to a fella!"

 'Worms' was slang for the residents of mining colonies, who often received no sunlight for years. Living underground in homes with no direct access to the Sun resulted in most miners being pale skinned to the point of albinism. 

 "You should head over there youngster and see for yourself, tell Madame Trixie I say hi" Jonah said, coupled with a theatrical wink and a guffaw. 

 John nodded obligingly, having no intention of heading that far out on the rim. He had initially objected to being called youngster, having just hit 40 last month, but he supposed everyone must seem young to the octogenarian and let Jonah continue. 

 "Ahh if only I were a younger man, I would have stayed there longer, but I figured I best skedaddle before those strumpets were the death of me. The ticker isn't quite up to as much exertion as it used to be" Jonah added with a snicker. 

 Suddenly Jonah's booze induced stupor seemed to temporarily clear and he leaned into John conspiratorially. The old man's breath was toxic enough to be classified as a bio-hazard.

 "It might be worth your while heading there besides those worm gals, youngster. One night I was hanging out in Madame Trixie's parlour and a couple o' them miners came rollin' in havin' drunk up a storm. They were out celebratin' and lookin' to round out the night with some pleasures of the flesh. I got to chattin' with those fellas and seems like they had stumbled on a whole heap of Tyrenium".

 At this, John's ears pricked up. John already had pointy ears due to his unusual parentage, but his already pointy ears manage to prick up nonetheless. 

 Tyrenium was a key component of plasma cores, used to power top of the line military grade ship weaponry. It was sufficiently rare and in such huge demand that the price for a ton of the element was astronomical to the right buyers.

 John had stayed with his old friend for as long as could be considered polite before bidding him farewell. He sprinted back to the dock where his Freighter was parked, his heart hammering with excitement. He knew he had to move fast on this one. John dashed across the boarding gantry, quickly tapping the access code to the airlock to gain entry to his ship, 'Fool's gold'. His hands were shaking as he entered the navigation coordinates to Karron and he forced himself to take a deep breath to steady himself and make sure there were he made no mistakes when plotting his course. The route he was taking would take over 2 months and travelling this far to the outer rim held many hazards for the unwary... 

 The mine owner, Seb Mortimer, cleared his throat pointedly and John was brought out of his reverie. The deal was now struck and John shook the man's proffered hand. John had ransacked every rainy day account he had to fund this transaction, every last credit of his life's savings were now sunk in to this deal. 

 John had managed to purchase 10 tons of Tyrenium at a ludicrously cheap rate, but it was still expensive enough to bring a huge grin to Seb's face. John suspected that being this far out on the borders of known space, Seb was not aware just how valuable this element could be. Then again he undoubtedly didn't have the exotic military connections that John did. The two men shared an amiable drink of whisky to seal the deal, before John left the mine owner's office to oversee the loading of his cargo.

 John strolled over to the waiting trucks that had been loaded with his haul of Tyrenium and nodded to the driver as he climbed up into the cabin of the lead vehicle. The huge truck roared into life and John felt the thrumming of the powerful engine as they pulled away. 

 Karron was a bleak and inhospitable colony, being so far away from the centre of human galactic civilisation. The brief journey from the mine to the star port provided a grim tour of the dark, grubby and dilapidated slums that had built up in the hollowed out asteroid. John felt glad that he would be leaving this depressing place in a couple of hours. 

 He was in such a hurry to leave, that he never did get a chance to visit to Madame Trixie's and John wondered if the establishment really would live up to his old friend's claims. Mad Jonah did have more than a few odd tastes though, so he figured he probably wasn't missing much and certainly avoiding plenty of potential mishaps by giving the place a pass.

 The trucks promptly arrived at the star port and after a quick dialogue with the guards and the deck officer, the industrious miners had loaded the cargo of Tyrenium aboard the Fool's Gold. John waved the miners goodbye and sealed the cargo bay doors. After setting the controls in the Cargo bay for auto-decontamination, he strode purposefully to the cockpit. 

 John slumped in the pilot's chair and punched in the course for home before activating the auto pilot to disembark from the asteroid. The ship's engines roared into life and the old freighter seemed to groan in protest as it took off, John was finally able to relax. He felt twitchy, which he assumed was due to the adrenalin wearing off after the excitement of brokering such a life changing deal, so he stood and headed to his cabin to take a much needed nap. 

 John unbuckled the harness to his heavy pistol and carefully unholstered it and placed it on the rack of weaponry in his cabin. He pressed his thumb to the lock and the door on the weapon locker swished closed. Deep space could be a dangerous place, with marauding pirates and the occasional misunderstandings with aliens so it was sensible to be prepared in the case of a hostile boarding action. 

 The cabin was meticulously clean, courtesy of one of John's personality quirks. He liked to keep his ship obsessively tidy and couldn't abide leaving mess anywhere. The rooms and corridors of the ship were kept spotless, which was handy with avoiding contamination, but took plenty of hours to maintain. After a soothing shower to clean away the dust and stink of the colony, John collapsed onto his wide bed on crisp, pristine sheets and fell asleep.

 Several hours later after a nice relaxing sleep, John awoke feeling horny. He was hard as steel and ready for action. This was a surprise, as John had spent years meditating to avoid getting into these kind of states. With his parentage being what it was, he couldn't be too careful. He sat up and assumed a mediation pose, clearing his mind and focusing on being calm and at peace. The horniness abated as did his erection, so John got up, got dressed and went about his normal routine. 

 A couple of days passed, with John awakening each morning to a rock hard surprise. Each day it was getting more difficult to maintain his self control, but he went through his meditation rituals and gradually calmed himself. He had been travelling for four days now, having left Karron far behind and decided to check on the cargo. 

 The door to the cargo bay opened with a self satisfied clank. Down in the cargo hold everything seemed ok, but John felt on edge. Standing on the gantry overlooking the ship's hold, he felt alert, focused, pensive, wary, he had great instincts and they were all telling him that something was wrong. He backed out of the cargo bay and hurried to his cabin to collect some weaponry. John grabbed his broad muzzled auto shotgun, perfect for up close work in the confined quarters of a spacecraft and slammed in a clip. The autoshot hummed to itself happily for a few seconds as he flipped the power button on the grip and a holographic targeting grid appeared above the weapon. John turned back into the corridor and jogged briskly back to the hold. 

 Inside the hold, John flicked on Infrared on the scope and did a quick sweep of the hold with his shotgun. He could see nothing untoward in the targeting grid, looking for any telltale signs of red, signifying heat, and seeing only cool shades of blue. He turned to the adjacent panel and cranked the illumination of the hold up to maximum. Careful not to look up at the blinding overhead lights, John searched the room thoroughly. It was not until he returned to the doorway panel that he noticed the faint dusty scuffmark on the other side of the door. Having meticulously scrubbed that section of floor in an OCD fury before landing, he knew that someone or something had come aboard with the cargo at Karron.

 John resealed the cargo bay and began to sweep the ship. The Fool's Gold was not huge, having only the cockpit, his cabin, the hold, a secondary cabin, his recreation room and the ships storage. He found no signs of life in the cabins or cockpit and there wasn't anywhere to hide in the recreation room, consisting as it did of a dining table, a comfy sofa and a small but functional kitchen. That meant his interloper was in the storage room. John took a deep breath and readied himself for action before stepping into the doorway or the final room. The targeting grid depicted the room in expected blues, with the occasional red glow from the overheads until he turned to face a storage compartment near the back of the room. A telltale red glow was edging the door to this particular compartment, signifying a warm presence inside. 

 "I know you're in there, come on out!" John barked at the storage compartment, keeping a wary distance. He waited pensively to the count of ten, but there was no movement from the compartment.

 "Either you come out in 5 seconds, or I unload this shotgun and space your corpse!" John shouted at the compartment door. 

 He heard some kind of squeak from the compartment and the storage door swung open slowly. A dirty unkempt figure timidly stepped out of the compartment and into the bright lights of the storage room. It was obviously a miner's kid. Some mid teen boy he would guess by the look of him, scrawny and malnourished, wearing shabby grey overalls, a bulky tattered jacket and a cap pulled down low. Frightened eyes peered out at him from a dirt smeared face beneath that dog eared cap, watching John warily and awaiting his next move. 

 John sighed and lowered the shotgun. "Oh for fuck's sake. Now I'm going to have to turn right around, to drop your ass back at Karron and we are days out system by now" he muttered thoroughly pissed off. This dumbass kid's desire for adventure was going to cost John over a week on a pointless detour.

 "Please don't take me back to Karron!" the boy replied in an oddly high pitched voice. Perhaps this kid was younger than he initially thought John mused.

 "Why not?" John demanded. "There's no chance in hell I'm going to risk being done on a 'kidnapping a minor' charge and I don't for a minute think you have any money to pay me for the trouble. What's your name anyway boy?"

 The frightened stowaway looked down, momentarily breaking eye contact with John. "My name's Al."

 "Well 'Al', my name's John, its lovely to meet you." John snarled sarcastically. "Now we've made introductions, you still haven't answered my question. Why shouldn't I just take you straight back to Karron?"

 "Maybe I could work for you as crew on the ship?" The grubby figure suggested hopefully. 

 "Sorry boy, I work alone. Besides, what skills could you have that would be useful on a starship? No, I'm going to have to take you back". John turned and made to walk out of the storage room. 

 "No wait!" his unwanted passenger pleaded.

 John turned back to look at the urchin, as the kid drew a big sigh and seemed to make some kind of decision. Al reached up to the tatty cap and pulled it off revealing dirty blonde hair, that with a few quickly removed clips, tumbled down revealing shoulder length tresses. "I'm not a boy, I'm a girl and I'm not a minor, I'm 18. Maybe there's something else I could do to earn my passage?" Al asked, cautiously but with a clearly suggestive undertone.

 Now in John's defence, in normal circumstances he would have turned her down flat, but his perpetual horniness over the last few days had rapidly eroded his will power. At least his morning surprises were now explained, as he had been reacting subconsciously to her pheromones. Without relief, it was going to be a trying 4 day trip back to Karron if he decided to take Al back. 

 John cast an appraising eye over his passenger, but with the worn, bulky gear and all the dirt it was impossible to tell what the newly revealed girl looked like. Against his better judgement, John slung the shotgun over his shoulder and beckoned his stowaway out from the storage room. 

 "Follow me, I want you to get cleaned up before I make my decision" John said as he led the girl to the passenger cabin. "You can use the shower in there and leave all the dirty gear in the corridor, including your ID, I want to make some checks".

 The girl warily handed him a foldout ID that revealed the mystery passengers full name to be Alyssa Marant. John took the ID and then pointed out the shower tucked into the corner of the passenger cabin. "Thanks 'Alyssa', the shower is back there".

 John left Alyssa to clean herself up and walked to the cockpit to scan in the ID. It took a few minutes to make the connection to GalacticSEC but the brief readout from the computer confirmed the name on the ID, that his new passenger was 18 and that she was not wanted for any felonies. That information calmed most of his worries; he would be doing nothing illegal in letting Alyssa stay on his ship and any agreements between them would be strictly between consenting adults. He felt himself getting hard again, and his excitement levels rose. Maybe the trip back home didn't have to be so boring after all?

 John heard a small cough from the corridor behind him and saw Alyssa peeking around the door to the passenger cabin trying to get his attention. She pointed to the heap of filthy clothing piled in the corridor which made him shudder. "I've had a shower and that's all my gear. What do you want me to wear instead?" Alyssa asked cautiously.

 John tilted his head to the same angle as Alyssa. "If you were suggesting what I think you were, then you will be just fine as you are. Come on out so I can make my decision". John reached behind him and pushed a button on the console. This activated the internal security cameras and would record their verbal agreement. You can't be too cautious, he figured.

 Alyssa blushed, but took another deep breath then stepped warily out of the cabin. Now that she was scrubbed clean, John could see that Alyssa actually had a pretty face. She had piercing blue eyes, a cute nose and full lips that immediately made him think of one thing. The girl was obviously from a mining colony, her ghostly white skin never having had sun exposure. Her hair fell to just beyond shoulder length, but it looked thin and lifeless. She was about 5' 2" tall, about a 28A cup and painfully skinny due to what he could only assume had been borderline starvation on the desolate mining world. She had an unkempt sandy blonde bush that matched her hair colour. He figured a steady diet would do her wonders and there was no time like the present to get started.

 "Ok I have made my decision. You can stay, I won't take you back to Karron". 

 Alyssa jumped with joy, full of the exuberance of youth. "Oh thank you John, thanks so much!"

 John smiled at her unexpectedly cheery outburst. Had she forgotten their arrangement already? "Ok now that's decided, let's just lay out some ground rules about your duties on the ship".

 Alyssa's face fell but she tried to hide it. Bless her, she had forgotten.

 "Firstly I won't do anything to hurt you and I won't force you to consent to anything weird. I will make sure you get regular meals and you can have the passenger cabin as your own, but I expect you to keep everything just as clean as it is now. In exchange, I expect you to service me whenever I ask. Finally are you on birth control?"

 Alyssa looked thoughtful after John's little monologue. "That all sounds reasonable." She replied, and then looked a little bit uncomfortable as she then admitted "I'm not on birth control". 

 John shrugged. "Ok regular sex is out. I don't plan on knocking you up. One last warning though, I have pretty hefty equipment and I'll be needing your services several times a day."

 "Yeah, I've heard that one before... I agree" Alyssa smirked.

 John smiled right back and gestured behind her. "Ok then let's get started. Let's reconvene in the rec room, my balls need emptying" 

 That wiped the smirk from Alyssa's face and with a resigned expression she turned around and walked back down the corridor. Following behind gave John another chance to check her out, but this time from behind. Alyssa had a wiry but toned body from living a hard life on the colony. John's eyes travelled down her back past the dimples above her hips to her pert little ass. It was lovely, round and compact, two perfect hemispheres that just needed filling out a little. Her legs looked lean but toned, runners legs he mused.

 They walked into the rec room and John strolled over to the sofa. He took off his T-shirt and combat trousers standing naked except for his briefs that did nothing to hide the size of his bulging package. He turned to face Alyssa. At 6'2" he towered over her petite 5'2" form.

 "Now you can probably tell I'm not completely human from these" John reached up, tilted his head and pointed to an elongated, pointy ear. 

 "That's not the only difference, I'm slightly different down here too" he said, nodding towards his groin.

 Alyssa had an almost comic look of trepidation on her face as John inserted his fingers into the waistband of his briefs. He carefully lifted the cotton material over his equipment then dropped his underwear to the floor, unveiling his equipment in all its glory. Alyssa let out a gasp in shock. 

 "You're fucking huge!" she exclaimed.

 Overcoming her initial surprise, she looked closer at this startling revelation. John had an enormous cock, with girth thicker than her delicate wrist. John could see the doubt forming in her mind. "

 Don't worry, it will fit" he said reassuringly. He sat down on the sofa, spreading his legs and motioning her forward. "Kneel there please Alyssa".

 Alyssa took a nervous couple of steps and then sank to her knees. Face to face with his enormous cock, she licked her lips nervously. She looked at his swollen dick, standing tall above his 4 balls. 4 balls!!! "What the fuck!?" She gasped, gawping at the cluster of orbs. 

 "I did say I'm slightly different, I call them my quad" John explained helpfully. 

 Alyssa seemed to have overcome her initial surprise and was looking at his balls inquisitively. They looked like regular human testicles, only there were two pairs, one set in front of the other. Oh, and each was the size of an orange!

Alyssa had a number of questions, but John cut her off as she opened her mouth to speak. "No more questions Alyssa, It's time to get started. Now take the head of my cock in your mouth".

 With a resigned expression on her face, Alyssa tentatively brought her hand forward to hold the base of his enormous cock. Her small hand struggled to surround the impressive girth and she gasped as she touched his velvety hardness for the first time. 

 "It's so hot!" she exclaimed, as his cock throbbed in her hand. She cautiously tilted the turgid member down towards her face as a gleaming drop of pre-cum began to form on the swollen red crown.

 "Open your mouth wide and take in the head" John commanded.

 Alyssa leaned forward hesitantly, opening her soft pouty lips and touching them to his swollen mushroom head. The big dollop of pre-cum touched her tongue, and spread over her taste buds. 

 "It tastes sweet!" Alyssa exclaimed as she pulled her head back momentarily. 

 The pretty girl savoured the taste of his pre-cum in her mouth for a moment, licking her full lips to make sure she hadn't missed any and then moved back to engulf more of the head this time. John gasped with pleasure as Alyssa swirled her tongue over the eye of his cock. She had begun to apply gentle suction and was trying to get some more of his tasty pre-cum. John's swollen set of balls were happy to oblige and provided the eagerly sucking young woman with another small spurt.

 John was in heaven feeling Alyssa's hot, wet, silky smooth tongue slide over the head of his cock. It had been so long since he had last been with a woman and he luxuriated in the sensations. John watched enthralled, as he saw the girls throat move as she swallowed the precum he was feeding her. Alyssa leaned in further, opening her mouth into a wide O to take more of him in. John could only groan with excitement as her full soft lips finally engulfed the whole head of his engorged member into her widely stretched mouth. 

 Alyssa's eyes had started to glaze over as she continued to swallow his precum. He had seen this happen before, it seemed to be a side effect of his unusual parentage. The girl was pushing forward now, then pulling back, gradually taking more of his massive cock into her mouth as she bobbed her head further forward. Inch by inch she was making progress down his dick.

 "That's a good girl, take me in nice and deep" he muttered, as he gripped the sofa tightly with his hands. Every fibre of his being wanted him to grab her pretty face and stuff his cock down her gullet, but he knew he had to be patient.

 "Mmmmm" Alyssa hummed contentedly as she bobbed forward in a smooth rhythm. 

 Abruptly her progress was stopped as the engorged head met the entrance to her throat. The girl gagged for a moment before pausing and pulling back a couple of inches. His fellatrix seemed to visibly relax and then in a long smooth motion pushed her head forward, her lips nibbling up the shaft as she took him deeper and deeper. John felt tight pressure around the head of his shaft before something seemed to give way and with a loud swallow Alyssa took him into her throat.

 John groaned in ecstasy as the teen's body gripped his cock like a warm, wet, tight fitting glove. With her throat relaxed, it was easier for her to make progress and with regular breaks to breathe, she was able to swallow more and more of his tool. In what seemed like no time, Alyssa was taking his whole length into her obscenely stretched throat, her lips stretched taut around his girth. John looked down as her chin touched his balls, her nose brushing his stomach. He couldn't hold back any more and he felt an explosive orgasm building from deep inside him. 

 "That's right baby, time to fill your belly" John muttered, before throwing his head back as his climax began. 

 His cock seemed to swell even more and his balls rumbled as they prepared to unload. "Oh fuck, YES!!!!" he exclaimed as a massive surge of cum exploded up his shaft. 

 The thick, heavy cum slid straight down Alyssa's throat, settling in her slim tummy. The girl groaned and her legs began to tremble violently as she joined him in orgasm. Surge after surge of powerful spurts of spunk rapidly filled the girls stomach until she was forced to pull back until just the head was in her mouth, giving the teen a chance to draw a lungful of air. John continued to blast the girls mouth and she gulped down his thick loads of cum, desperately making room in her mouth for more.

 His multiple balls finally emptied, John collapsed back into the Sofa. Alyssa let him slip from between her swollen lips as he stopped filling her mouth and with a delicate finger she caught the dribbles of cum that had escaped her lips and swallowed them too. John looked down at the young woman kneeling in front of him. Her mouth was still hanging open as she panted for breath and he could see that he had painted the inside of her mouth white. He could even see his cum dripping from her tonsils where he had hosed down the entrance to her throat.

 Alyssa leaned backwards, finally sitting up straight. She hadn't lost the glazed look in her eyes as her hands moved down to stroke her grossly distended belly. She was a thin girl anyway, but the several pints of thick, sperm rich spunk he had just fed her made her look several months pregnant. Numerous drops of cum had dripped from her mouth when she had been blowing him, and Alyssa moaned as her hands glided over her swollen stomach, rubbing his spunk into her glistening skin. 

 After taking a few moments to recover his wits, John stood and then scooped up the girl in his arms. He carefully carried her back to the passenger cabin, laid her out on the bed and then gently tucked her under the pristine white covers. Alyssa seemed to have fallen asleep the moment her head touched the pillow, so he quietly backed out of the room so as not to disturb his new guest. 

 As he was carefully backing out of the room, John nearly tripped over the pile of soiled gear in the hallway. He quickly scooped up the offending items and made his way to the airlock to blast the tattered and filthy gear into space. John watched through the airlock window and shuddered with relief as he saw the sad scraps of clothing sail off into the black. Returning to the rec room he dressed quickly before collecting cleaning gear to battle the mess in the hallway. He sighed happily as he got to work, enjoying the dull ache in his freshly relieved balls.



Three Square Meals Ch. 02



John reclined in the comfortable embrace of the Pilot's chair in the cockpit to the Fool's Gold. He had purchased this chair specifically for its well designed ergonomics. Knowing how many hours he spent here in the cockpit, he figured that paying top dollar for this marvel of form fitting handiwork was worth every penny. Considering the fortune in doctor's bills some of his freighter pilot friends had to shell out in fixing bad backs, it was a wise investment! 

He glanced occasionally at the oval display for the long range scanners, but there was nothing unusual showing. This far out in deep space it was rare to encounter other ships, but in John's experience, those encounters could turn nasty very quickly. Deep space was a lawless and dangerous place, light years away from the commonly travelled space lanes and the accompanying Federation patrols.

John was reading the Holonet to keep up to date with Galactic events. Tensions were high between the Terran Federation and the neighbouring Kintark Empire, with reports of numerous border incursions from both sides. The Terran media all favoured the Federation line; that they were responding to unwarranted aggression from the Kintark, but John had enough independent contacts with neutral alien trading partners to know that there were two sides to this story.

Besides, he had traded with the Kintark about 5 years earlier and he found them to be reliable trading partners. The reptilian race could be unsettling with their emotionless, sibilant speech, but if you could overcome humanities instinctive fear of the unknown, they were a straightforward species to deal with.

John's mind drifted though and he struggled to concentrate on the Holonet story. His thoughts kept returning to his guest and he wondered how she was doing. Alyssa had been asleep for just over 14 hours since their session in the recreation room and the last time he had checked in on her, the girl was slumbering soundly. Just as he had made up his mind to check on her again he heard a rustling from the passenger cabin. 

John spun the pilot's chair to face the corridor as Alyssa stepped through the cabin door. She had wrapped herself in the bedsheet in an impromptu toga and was making her way into the cockpit.

"Please could I have some water, I'm feeling really thirsty." Alyssa requested politely as she moved to sit in the co-pilots seat.

John got up from his chair and went to the water dispenser in the cockpit. He moved to the side so that she could clearly see how he was operating the machine and pressed a couple of buttons. A glass slid out and the dispenser gurgled happily as it filled it up with sparkling clear water. Condensation immediately began to form on the delightfully chilled drink and John handed the glass to his guest before he sat down again. The two sat in silence, studying each other as Alyssa took small sips, soothing her parched throat.

"How are you feeling?" John asked pleasantly, breaking the silence. "Did you sleep ok?"

Alyssa paused a moment, looking thoughtful before answering. "I don't remember the last time I slept that well. How long was I asleep for?"

"You were out for 14 hours" John explained. "I checked on you a couple of times and you seemed ok".

"14 hours!" Alyssa exclaimed. "I normally only sleep for a couple of hours at a time. On the colony you had to sleep with one eye open".

The girl put down her glass on the console and then stretched languidly. "I feel amazing!" She sighed happily. "If only I'd known I'd feel like this after getting a good night sleep!" 

As she straightened her back and stretched her arms out overhead, her makeshift outfit suffered a wardrobe malfunctioned. The sheet tied around her chest slipped loose and dropped into a pool in her lap, revealing her slim upper body. Alyssa flinched and hurried to restore her modesty before stopping suddenly, catching John's gaze and leaving the sheet where it was. Her stomach seemed to have reverted back to its normal size, her body absorbing the huge meal he had happily donated yesterday. The girl also seemed to have lost some of the painful skinniness that defined her ribs so clearly yesterday.

"What happened last night?" Alyssa asked with a puzzled look on her face. "I remember us going to the rec room and you introducing me to your equipment" She blushed for a moment. "I especially remember the Quad" She added with helpful air quotes. "After that it's all a blur".

"Well... do you want the romanticised, obfuscated version or the brutally honest version?" John asked playfully.

"Give me the brutally honest version please, I'd like to know what I'm dealing with" Alyssa smiled back. "Besides, I have no idea what obfuscated means!"

"Well you sucked my cock like a pro, then I filled that lovely little belly of yours with several pints of cum." John explained. "Then I tucked you up in bed to sleep off your meal".

Alyssa blushed deeper, looking embarrassed.

"Don't be embarrassed honey, you did a great job." John reassured her comfortingly. "I couldn't be happier you decided to stow away on my ship".

The cute teenager absorbed John's words and seemed to visibly grow in confidence. John saw a playful smile form on her pretty face as her eyes dropped to his groin, then back up to look at him. "I'm feeling hungry John, what have you got for breakfast?" she asked coyly.

John grinned back and unbuckled his trousers. Alyssa stood, leaving the sheet behind on the co-pilots chair and walked towards him as he dropped his trousers to the floor. His huge cock stood up past his belly button and throbbed expectantly. The petite teen stood between his spread thighs and dropped to her knees. 

Alyssa reached out and grasped two of his balls, one in each hand. She cupped them gently, feeling the orange sized orbs in each sack. John watched the girl as she explored his body. She moved from the front set of balls to the set behind, cupping each in turn, feeling their heavy weight.

"They are just so big!" She exclaimed in wonder. " How do you even walk with all these between your legs?"

John laughed out loud. He had never been asked that before. "It does get a bit tricky when I'm full up and turned on" he admitted with a smile.

"Well its good I'm here to help you out then" Alyssa grinned back at him.

The perky teen leaned forward and swabbed the top of his manhood with her tongue. She moved one of her hands from his balls to caress his turgid shaft, before wrapping her slim fingers around his girth. John watched intently as her ghostly pale hand slid up and down on his cock in a smooth rhythm. Alyssa leaned forward and her soft lips spread invitingly over the engorged head of his pulsing cock. She maintained eye contact with him as her tongue danced over him, warm, wet and silky smooth. The petite girl had managed to take the entire head in her mouth, her lips spread obscenely wide to welcome him into her. He looked deeply into her brilliant blue eyes as she sucked on him, finding it impossible to break that piercing cerulean gaze. 

"Oh my god, that's so good" he groaned, as he watched her enraptured.

The corner of Alyssa's mouth seemed to twitch, wanting to smile. There was just no way to do so with his massive tool spreading her lips so wide.

John's balls seemed to rumble contentedly, as if they knew there was a receptive female happy to provide a new home for their contents. Alyssa was sucking strongly on the head of his cock and John began feeding her pre-cum as his excitement levels rose.

The pretty teen's eyelids began to get heavy and that sharp, perceptive gaze began to lose focus. Alyssa closed her eyes and then began to take more of his meat into her mouth. Her head began to move in a smooth bobbing motion, matching the same rhythm of her hand. The teen was on a mission now, to take his whole cock into her throat. 

"Shluck, shluck, shluck!"

Looking down, John watched as the blonde haired girl took more and more of him into her mouth. Alyssa paused with his swollen cock head at the entrance to her throat. She took a deep breath and then slid forward, enveloping him in the tight warm confines of her body. Staring intently, he cradled her head and guided her forward as her throat relaxed and accepted his whole massive length in one long, smooth motion.

"Uggghh!" John moaned incoherently, unable to form words at the incredible sensations he felt along his shaft. 

Alyssa's tongue glided along the underside of his cock as she withdrew and then plunged forward again, easing his passage in and out of her body and heightening his pleasure. John was only able to groan in appreciation when the girl took in his whole length and then that dancing tongue snaked out to lap at the top of his balls. He marvelled that she was able to take him so deep in such easy, fluid motions.

The couple maintained this lustful rhythm, Alyssa kneeling submissively and stroking his cock with her talented mouth. She swallowed occasionally, clearing the saliva from her mouth and massaging his cock with the strong muscles in her throat. John could only moan appreciatively as the talented girl deep throated him time after time. 

"Uhn, Uhn, Uhn" he groaned in time to her bobbing head. This blowjob was amazing, even better than last night. The girl seemed quite determined to milk his balls. John recalled a vision of Alyssa stroking her swollen belly yesterday and struggled not to come instantly.

Alyssa seemed to be reading his body perfectly and sensed the rising ecstasy growing in the man she was servicing so amazingly. Her throat gripped him comfortingly as he throbbed in her mouth, her lips soft, yet insistent as they travelled down to his root time and time again. Subconsciously sensing that he was ready, the girl drew back, clearing her windpipe and allowing her to take a deep lungful of air. Her body rejuvenated, she slid right back down his length again, her body promising him relief.

The change in sensation was too much for John and he gripped the armrests of his chair in a fierce grip as he threw his head back and exploded.

"Oh fuck me! I'm coming!!" He bellowed, as his quad prepared for action.

Massive spurt after spurt of gloriously rich spunk blasted up his shaft and into the welcoming pit of Alyssa's stomach. John's hips thrust forward in rapid reflexive motions as he desperately unloaded his cum into the willing girl prostrate before him. Alyssa's soft full lips cushioned his thrusts as she leaned forward, eagerly sucking on him and taking his huge load. 

The pretty teen's slim belly soon began to round out as John filled her with heavy spunk. Alyssa's throat throbbed in sync with his cock as his jism race up his huge shaft and pulsed into her body. Her mouth and throat fitted his length like a hot, tight, pussy and John's body did its best to inseminate her. The young woman's body trembled as she joined him in mindless orgasm, her body revelling in being used so completely.

Eventually John's mind blowing orgasm abated. Alyssa pulled back, letting his cock slip from the tight confines of her throat until only his head remained in her mouth. He could only shudder as she sucked powerfully on him one last time and his spent balls desperately tried to feed her more cum. 

"She looks like the cat that got the cream" John thought to himself, as he sighed with relief. Alyssa let him go and leaned back, a self satisfied smile on her face.

Speaking of which, his cream had filled out her tummy nicely. The petite waif was stroking another bellyful of the rich, semen laden cum that had settled warmly in the welcoming new home of her stomach. The massive load had given her another swollen belly, just as large as that of the previous night. On her slim body it looked obscene.

Alyssa's eyes were heavy lidded and still glazed over, so John got up, scooped the slim girl up in his arms and carried her back to the passenger cabin. She sighed contentedly into his chest as he walked back to her room. He marvelled at her light weight, despite the extra load he had just added to her midsection and was able to carry her effortlessly. He gently laid her out on the bed, returning a moment later to cover her slim form up with the sheet.

John busied himself with routine maintenance in the ship. After relieving his baser urges, he was now able to concentrate again and he hummed happily to himself as went about his chores. Some power cabling resealed here, an overhead light fixed there, time seemed to disappear as he worked on the ship. Several hours passed and John had just finished cleaning the recreation room when a noise behind him brought him back to full awareness. 

"Ahem" Alyssa announced her presence. "What did you do to my tummy?" she demanded, as he turned to face her. 

Alyssa was stood, hands on hips in the entrance to the room. As she strode towards him, he saw that the object of her indignation had reduced in size somewhat from when he had initially filled her up. Unfortunately her body had not had enough time to absorb the heavy, protein rich spunk and the petite girl still looked several months pregnant.

"You look amazing Alyssa" John reassured the girl as he moved towards her, momentarily regretting his pledge not to knock her up.

He gathered her smoothly in his arms, leaning down to kiss the surprised teen full on the lips. She sighed a breathy moan as her soft, pouting lips parted to let him push in his tongue. They kissed passionately for several moments, her own tongue moving to duel his in her mouth. John moved to the sofa, gathering the girl in his lap as he sat down, maintaining their kiss and fierce embrace. 

The couple paused for breath and leaned back, studying each other. John moved his big masculine hand to the teens stuffed belly and stroked her gently. Her stomach felt firm and full. His heavy spunk had blown out her waistline, forcing her slim tummy to accommodate his load. He thought about the millions of sperm swimming around inside her, desperate in their futile task to impregnate the slim teenager and he felt a stirring in his loins.

"I explained that I fed you several pints of cum last night. This is what it looks like." John caressed Alyssa's engorged belly pointedly.

"I thought you were exaggerating" Alyssa mumbled, embarrassed.

"Don't worry, your body will absorb it all and you will be back to normal in no time" John reassured the worried girl.

"How do you know? Have you done this before?" Alyssa asked.

"Yes, I've been with a woman before." John laughed.

"What about the memory loss then, the blackouts?" Alyssa insisted.

"Yes, that's normally what happens". John confirmed reassuringly. "I cum, the girl gets a huge belly and is comatose for a while. She wakes up after a good long sleep, none-the-wiser and feeling great, then we happily part ways".

Alyssa looked thoughtful for a moment. "No long term relationships then? That sounds lonely".

John was taken aback by the abrupt shift in conversation topic. "Well, yes, I guess" he stammered, unprepared for this line of questioning. "Considering I'm not exactly normal, I figured it was probably for the best".

Alyssa now wore a sympathetic, understanding look on her face. She looked up at him intently and reached up to stroke the side of his face in a gentle caress. She pulled his head down and kissed him passionately, her soft lips feeling amazing against his own. They kissed and made out like teenagers, which was unsurprising considering one of them was actually only 18. 

The kissing grew more passionate and John ran his hands over Alyssa's nubile form. His hand slid over her swollen stomach, slipping down between the girl's thighs. Her teenage skin felt so soft and smooth under his fevered touch and Alyssa spread her legs invitingly as his hand moved further between them. John could feel how turned on the girl was when his hand moved higher and his finger slipped between the lips of her pussy. She was slick and inviting as he cupped her pussy and slid his finger deeper inside. 

"Oohhh!" Alyssa gasped, as his questing finger burrowed in.

John finger fucked the moaning girl for a few moments, enjoying the exquisite warmth and tightness. He could only imagine what it would feel like to penetrate her young body with his massive cock. He maintained the forceful thrusting of his finger inside her, delighting as she moaned responsively.

"Unh, Unh, Unh" Alyssa moaned in time to each thrust. 

John undid his trousers with his free hand as he probed the teen with the other. He lifted her easily and placed her down in his lap, so that each cheek of her pert little ass rested on either side of his reawakened cock. Alyssa's wonderfully firm round ass felt amazing pressed to his groin and the slippery fluids she was providing from her excited little twat was adding plenty of lubrication to his cock. He rocked her up and down on his shaft, enjoying the tight firmness of her cheeks, whilst maintaining his finger's insistent stroking in and out of her snug young pussy.

Moving the other hand down, John began to stroke the girl's swollen clit as he added a second finger to her deliciously tight pussy. Alyssa squealed as the second finger slid in against the first, widening her young hole and increasing the intensity of her sensations. John curled his fingers up, looking for her G-Spot and then began to rub the sensitive little area in sync with the stroking he was giving her clit with the other hand.

"Ohhh my god!!" Alyssa wailed as her body arched and thighs spasmed. The trembling teen came long and hard, her pussy rewarding his fingers with a delightful massaging sensation. 

John revelled in the sound of the teenagers breathy cries and gasps and just as she was calming down, he massaged her body hard and fast, forcing another toe curling orgasm from the primed girl. "Good, she's multi-orgasmic" he thought to himself and her body convulsed hard from the intense pleasure she was experiencing. Finally having mercy, he pulled his soaked fingers from Alyssa's pussy and held her in a warm embrace as she calmed down and relaxed against him. 

"Thank you John, that was amazing!" Alyssa said as she turned to look up at him. "I've never come twice like that before, I didn't know it was possible!" she exclaimed breathily. 

John just nodded agreeably as he held the teenagers hips in his hands. He was rocking her gently on his pussy slicked cock, and her firm little ass felt incredible straddling his length. Her tight little pussy was warm, wet and only inches away. John was fighting an internal struggle not to lift the petite teen up and then slide her snug little body onto his eagerly awaiting rod.

As if sensing she was only moments away from potential motherhood, Alyssa slipped out of John's grasp and slid to her knees in front of the sofa. 

"Let me take care of that for you" she purred seductively as she opened wide and covered the swollen mushroom head of his cock.

This time John felt no resistance at all as the petite girl smoothly swallowed his engorged girth into her throat, and then engulfed his entire length in one ball trembling move. It was like her mouth and throat were custom designed to fit him perfectly. A warm, wet, massaging tunnel that was designed purely to empty his balls whenever he needed.

"Uuunnnhhhhh" John groaned in wordless happiness as the teenager knelt in front of him, taking his full length time and time again. He had never experienced pleasure like this before, and he lost track of time as Alyssa worked him to orgasm.

John was suddenly overcome by the unstoppable urge to unload and he grasped Alyssa's blonde head as he exploded down her throat. Her tongue massaged the underside of his cock, coaxing out each blast of spunk, welcoming it into her body. His hips thrust forward mechanically, trying to force himself deeper, but Alyssa's full lips were already tightly encircled around the root of his shaft, her nose rubbing his stomach. Surge after surge of heavy cum was added to the previous load she had swallowed and her tummy gurgled contentedly as it expanded to house his essence. The teenagers distended belly touched the floor as the girl leaned over, eagerly sucking down every last spurt of cum.

Eventually he was spent and with a "Shhlockkkk" Alyssa slid John's cock out of her throat and mouth. The heady pheromones from the potent load she had just ingested had rendered Alyssa insensate. This time she just leaned forward and rested her exhausted head on his thigh as she breathed deeply. This meant she could comfortably rest her bloated belly on the floor, her thighs splayed wide to accommodate her semen packed stomach as she knelt before him.

John soon recovered and as before, fell into what had become their routine. He scooped up the wiped out girl, cradling her in his arms. Alyssa mumbled something incoherently into his chest as he carried her to the passenger cabin and tucked her in to bed. The teenager rolled to her side, facing him and he could see slight movement under the covers as he realised she was stroking her overloaded belly comfortingly in her sleep.

"Well she won't ever go hungry again" he smiled to himself, as he stretched contentedly. His shoulders and arms popped gratifyingly as he stretched, before he looked down at the slumbering girl. John enjoyed the feelings of protectiveness and satisfaction he felt when looking at his young charge and congratulated himself on his choice to let her stay on board.



Three Square Meals Ch. 03



The water cascaded over John's face in a soothing waterfall, washing the sweat and grime from his body. He stood still for a moment, face tilted upwards, enjoying the warm gentle streams of water from the shower as they splashed over his head. He had just spent the last several hours cleaning out one of the engine filtration units and the caked up layers of dirt were now swirling down the plug in the shower floor. He really hated doing that job, there was no way of avoiding getting absolutely filthy cleaning out the carbon build up in the filter. Still, it had to be done and in his euphoric post-orgasmic state he hadn't really minded so much.

"Tap, tap-tap, tap"

A light tapping on the shower door brought John out of his soothing reverie. The door opened tentatively and Alyssa's tousled blonde head appeared through the steam.

"Mind if I join you?" She asked with a mischievous grin.

"Be my guest!" John smiled reassuringly and pushed the door open wider to let her in.

The young girl stepped forward into the roomy shower, as the door swung closed behind her, the steam swirling in her wake. She moved closer, invading his personal space but not actually touching him, their bodies only an inch or so apart. The pretty girl's face was tilted upwards to look at him, the playful smile never having left her lips and now joined by a raised eyebrow that seemed to challenge him to initiate contact between them.

John laughed and brought his arms around the petite girl in a welcoming hug. Alyssa's giggles were muffled in his chest, but the lovely melodic sounds of female laughter reverberated around the shower when he tickled her for her cheekiness. He eventually had mercy, and Alyssa's arms encircled his ribs returning his hug. They stood like that for several moments, both enjoying the closeness and physical intimacy.

"Well we better get you cleaned up" John said to the teenage shower intruder.

He uncoupled one of his arms from behind her back and cupped his hand under the cleaning gel dispenser. 

"Shhlup!" The machine responded helpfully, as it plopped a dollop of soapy gel into his waiting hand.

John stepped back from his young guest and lathered up both hands, before bringing them forward to glide over her shoulders. Her skin felt delightfully soft and warm under his heavy hands. He massaged her shoulders briefly before moving around to her neck. Alyssa tilted her head back to keep her hair out of his way, exposing her throat trustingly.

John cupped the back of the girl's head supportively with one hand, as he stroked the soapy gel down her slender neck with the other. With her head tilted backwards, it was easy for them to maintain eye contact and an unspoken conversation seemed to pass between them.

"My cock belongs in here" his gently massaging hand implied.

"Yes, whenever you want" her eyes confirmed.

John's cock rose to full firmness, like a sleeping behemoth awakening from its slumbers.

Still supporting Alyssa's head with one hand as she gazed up at him, John brought his other hand lower, gliding down over the girl's chest. He enjoyed the feel of the soft flesh of her tiny breasts, and the pert hardness of her erect nipples as his hand explored her upper body. It might have been a trick of the light in the shower, but the girl's skin didn't seem to be quite so ghostly pale any more, having adopted a much healthier pinkish hue. He figured it must have just been her skin reacting to the warmth of the shower.

His hand slid lower, skating down the girl's chest over her ribs. Her body felt firm, youthful and full of vitality, no longer the emaciated waif he had met initially. John's hand stroked her slim tummy which had now reverted back to its normal size and he admired the expanse of perfect, blemish free skin.

"Now it's time to do your back" he murmured, as he rotated the teenager away from him to face the wall. 

Alyssa looked over her shoulder at him, her gaze heavy with lust. She placed both hands against the wall, and spread her legs slightly before turning to face the wall as she stood waiting expectantly.

John lathered up both hands again as he loomed over the submissively postured teen before him, the difference between their physical size quite pronounced. He placed both hands on her shoulder blades, before running his hands down her back, following the path of her spine. The comfortably warm gel let his hands glide effortlessly over her body, as he gently massaged her soothingly.

John sank to his haunches behind her, bringing his face level to the girl's lower back. Alyssa's bottom seemed to have also filled out nicely, forming two perfectly spherical globes that sat proudly above her toned thighs. The water cascading from the shower ran down her back and then slid between the two wonderfully pert orbs. John reached out to take a cheek in each hand, feeling the firm, pliant flesh beneath his fingers. He massaged her with his strong hands, eliciting contented sighs from his young companion. The sighs turned to an excited gasp as John spread those delicious cheeks apart, exposing her to his greedy eyes.

The girl's nether hole was tightly closed, looking pink and virginal as he gazed at her lustily. Below, the neat labia of her pussy had parted slightly, looking wet and inviting. He was sure that wetness was not just from the shower.

John relaxed his strong grip on her cheeks, letting them move back into place and obscuring the tantalising view from sight. He let each hand slide out and then down, following the outer contours of her body. Alyssa's legs had filled out too. They felt wonderfully muscled and firm under his exploring touch and the skin of her creamy pink thighs felt incredibly smooth under his sensitive fingers. He finally reached the end of those legs, his hands moulding over her shapely calves. He could see her tiny feet shift underneath her, her toes gripping the shower floor to try and retain her balance under the sensory overload of his touch.

John raised himself back up to full height again before moving slightly around to the girl's side. Alyssa tilted her head to her left to watch his face, as his right hand cupped her bottom again, while the left hand slid around and over her tummy. 

"Yessss!" the teenager hissed as his left hand slid lower, his finger parting the lips of her pussy. He brushed her clit with the base of his index finger triggering a gasp from the girl. John massaged the lips of her pussy, 'accidentally' gliding over her clit from time to time. 

"Ohhhh" Alyssa moaned as John's right hand slid down from her trembling buttocks, to replace a finger in her tight young pussy. John began to strike up a steady rhythm of in and out strokes with the finger of his right hand, whilst circling and gently rubbing her clit with his left.

Alyssa panted, the trembling in her nubile young body growing more pronounced, until she threw her head back and came hard, her eyes squeezed tightly shut.

"Aaaaahhhh!" She screamed explosively as John worked her to fever pitch, her back arched in a perfect, graceful curve. 

John supported her in his arms as the trembling girl gasped out her pleasure. He enjoyed feeling her body grasping his finger tightly, as her pussy convulsed around him. He slowly withdrew that finger from her snug hole, before moving it an inch higher and gently encircling the teen's rosebud.

Alyssa looked up at him nervously. "I've never..." she blurted out between laboured breaths.

"Shhh, it's ok, I'm not going to hurt you" John replied reassuringly.

Alyssa nodded tentatively, giving him permission and John moved his finger slightly to massage the entrance to her back passage. He began to apply gentle but insistent pressure to her anus and with the help of the unctuous lubrication from her pussy, he was able to part the tight muscles of her sphincter and slide in the tip of his finger.

The girl's body was rigid with anticipation, so he stroked her clit again and whispered to her comfortingly. "There we go, just relax, I'm not going to hurt you".

Focusing on his soothing voice, Alyssa made a visible effort to relax and the tension dissipated from her rigid shoulders and back. John maintained the distracting stroking of her sensitive clit and the girl began to moan again in pleasure. Taking that as a good sign, John applied a little more pressure with his right hand and his finger slid an inch deeper into her body.

"Ohhhh" Alyssa gasped, feeling him invade her unplundered depths.

"Is that ok?" John asked.

"Yes, it just feels a bit... weird" Alyssa panted, her young body distracted by the smooth rubbing of her nubbin.

John slid his left hand further under her, slipping his index finger into her now vacant pussy. Alyssa's eyes bugged out, feeling her body being double penetrated for the first time. The two fingers provided a steady unrelenting rhythm, which the teenager was helpless to resist. John's hand brushed her sensitive and swollen clit as the finger of his right hand pushed into her ass past the second knuckle. Alyssa's legs were trembling violently as he stroked his fingers in and out of her primed young body.

"Oohhh my god!" she shrieked, as the thrusting fingers brought her to an explosive orgasm. John's finger puppet grasped his invading digits in a fierce grip, as he stroked her to an intense, mind melting climax.

John allowed the girl's laboured breathing to return to normal as she recovered from cumming so hard, before he gently removed his fingers from the secret places in the teens body. He held her in a comforting embrace, stroking her back gently.

"That was amazing, I've never felt anything like that before" Alyssa sighed happily into his chest. She tilted her head back and parted her full lips invitingly for a kiss. John was happy to oblige and the two kissed passionately under the unrelenting flow of water.

"Come on, we better get out of here before we turn into prunes" John said, as he smiled down at the happy girl.

Reluctantly breaking apart their embrace the two left the shower, with the autosensing jets turning off behind them. John reached up to a locker to the side and brought out two luxuriously soft and fluffy towels. The locker was designed to gently heat its contents, so the towels felt deliciously warm and cosy as they wrapped themselves up in their downy softness. The couple moved into John's cabin and dried themselves off.

Alyssa sat on the bed drying off her hair, as John used his towel to finish drying off his legs. She was watching him with a smile on her face, as he straightened up and placed the towel back in the locker now he was finally dry. He turned to face her, his massive cock untended and forgotten, still throbbing with need.

"Oh John, I'm sorry!" Alyssa gasped. "You made me feel so good, I forgot about you".

John smiled back, waving away her concern. 

"Come over here" Alyssa beckoned him with her finger, making a come-hither motion. She moved back on his big bed, making room for him to join her. 

John settled down comfortably, grinning the grin of a man who knows he is on to a sure thing. He folded his arms behind his head, and spread out his legs to clear a space for his teenage companion. Alyssa slid smoothly over to kneel between them, before throwing him a mocking salute.

"Ship's cum bucket reporting for duty sir!"

John doubled over with laughter and Alyssa's musical laugh joined his own. She eventually pushed him back so he was leaning against the pillows again. Joking around was fun, but it was time for serious business. She leaned forward, grasping his mighty shaft with her delicate hand and tilted him towards her mouth. Her plush lips opened invitingly and enveloped his broad head.

"Aaahhhh" John sighed contentedly as his chuckles were brought to an abrupt end. 

His cock felt very sensitive after the extended foreplay in the shower and her tongue felt amazing as she swirled it over the powerful maleness filling up her mouth. Alyssa made no move to take him any deeper, she just focused on the head, licking and then sucking eagerly. The pretty teen looked up at him, maintaining eye contact as she watched his reaction to her oral attentions. 

Gearing up for action, John's balls helpfully provided the young girl with a sweet tasting surge of pre-cum. Alyssa's throat bobbed as she swallowed it down, savouring the sweet tingling aftertaste on her tongue. Her eyes began to glaze over, her lovely blue eyes beginning to hide behind her eyelids which had begun to feel unbearably heavy. 

Suddenly Alyssa leaned back, releasing his throbbing scarlet crown from her mouth. The young girl shook her head with a furious shake as if to clear the fogginess from her mind, her blonde locks making a soft swishing motion around her face. She smiled up at John before moving back to envelop him again in the warm, wet confines of her mouth. Her piercing blue eyes transfixed his own eyes hypnotically, watching for his reactions to her lips and tongue.

"Well this is new!" John realised with a shocked start. He couldn't ever recall a girl shrugging off the irresistible effect of his pheromones before.

Alyssa momentarily closed her eyes, breaking eye contact as she tilted forward and swallowed his entire length down her throat in one long, smooth motion. Abruptly her eyes flew wide open and she tried to stare at the root of his cock, which was softly being massaged by her own pouty lips. This resulted in a hilarious cross eyed expression, which would have caused John to laugh out loud, if the girl hadn't rocked back on her heels, his cock swiftly abandoned by the comforting sheath of her throat.

"What the fuck!" Alyssa gasped loudly. The teenager wore a look of puzzled amazement. "I've never been able to deep throat before, my gag reflex was too strong!" She eyed his cock suspiciously "but now I'm able to suck down this monster effortlessly". 

John's appendage throbbed angrily in front of her, annoyed at the cessation of activity.

"Ermm... muscle memory maybe?" John stumbled for an explanation, having never really thought about this before. "You had no trouble the last few times, maybe your body remembered how?"

Alyssa stroked her neck with her free hand, a thoughtful expression on her face. She leaned forward, her cherubic lips opening in a perfect oval before she engulfed him down to the balls in one long fluid move. She massaged his whole length wonderfully in the snug embrace of her throat, her lips kissing his groin. John watched as her hand moved to touch her neck, feeling where his swollen girth had forced her throat to stretch out wide to accommodate him.

The girl drew back again, slowly this time, as if savouring every mouth stretching millimetre of him.

"That was awesome!" She grinned ecstatically. "No wonder you were happy to have me aboard!" Alyssa smirked with amusement. 

"Does every girl you've been with end up 'sucking your cock like a pro'?" her lips formed an obviously fake pout, as she quoted his comment from this morning back at him.

"Can we discuss this later please?" John pleaded. "I'm finding it hard to concentrate at the moment".

Alyssa nodded agreeably. She reached out to gently stroke his painfully swollen balls. "I'm sorry boys, you were waiting to give me dinner and I rudely interrupted" she purred.

"After all, that's what I'm here for isn't it? To keep you drained dry?" She looked up at John with a lust filled expression on her face. He could only nod in wide eyed amazement.

"You want to fill my tiny belly up again, don't you? Force me to swallow down a huge load of cum?" Alyssa enquired eagerly.

John could only nod again mutely, struck dumb by the new level of confidence in the excited teen kneeling before him. Alyssa moved forward to put her new found skill to good use. Moments later he was sliding deep into the silky smooth, snug embrace of her throat. Her tongue massaged him on the way down with its wet velvet caress, promising ecstasy at the end of his journey.

"Oooohhhh Fuck!!" John groaned out helplessly, as the teenager massaged his whole length in the muscular grip of her throat.

She had been correct earlier. All girls who gave him blowjobs had been able to eventually deep throat him before he fed them his cum. However this was wildly different. All the other girls had felt great, but there was a comfortingly familiar sameness to their blowjobs. Alyssa had shrugged off the dazing effects of his pre-cum and was now an active participant. The sensations he was receiving from the eagerly sucking teen felt wonderfully new, unpredictable and intense.

Alyssa had rocked back a bit and John found himself going from half sheathed to fully embedded over and over again. He was literally face fucking her, whilst just lying there having to do nothing other than enjoy the exquisitely tight grip around his cock. His incredible fellatrix paused on the top of her backstroke, looking him in the eyes again. Her pouting lips were stretched obscenely wide around his girth, but she was still able to provide an incredibly insistent sucking action. 

Alyssa's eyes were lusty and inviting. He could sense her hunger, her eagerness to see him cum. How could he resist such a siren call?

"Aaaaahhhhh!!" He bellowed, as his back arched and his orgasm blasted out of him. 

If the pretty teen wanted to drain his balls dry, they were happy to accept that invitation and they kicked into overdrive. Long, heavy spurts of cum shot out of his balls, up his shaft and down the sucking teen's throat. Alyssa could feel each blast pass her lips, as his urethra expanded with each rapid evacuation of his balls. His spunk felt warm and filling as it settled in her stomach, quickly giving her the feeling of having eaten a huge meal as she swallowed what seemed like an endless explosion of cum.

"Uuummpphhh" Alyssa moaned excitedly, her throat stuffed with his cock. Her hand moved down to feel her rounded stomach as she felt her body making room for his enormous load. Her steadily inflating belly edged her hand lower, so that her fingers brushed her clit. It felt like she was on a hair trigger as she joined him in orgasm, her body trembling in ecstasy as he filled her up. 

Finally John's orgasm abated and he collapsed back on to the bed, struggling for breath. He had never cum that hard before, not even close. Alyssa let his deflating cock slip from her mouth with a wet plop, a string of cum temporarily extending the link between his glans and her lips.

"Wow!" Alyssa gasped with wonder as she stroked her hugely inflated belly. 

It looked like the girl had swallowed a beach ball. Her slim waistline had been blown out so much, a casual observer would be forgiven for thinking she was 9 months pregnant and rapidly approaching her due date. Her soft fingers traced the beautiful gracing arc of her swollen stomach down to her belly button. She was astounded to find it had popped out, as her teenage tummy had been forced to home his rich, sperm laden spunk and had run out of room. 

John opened his arms invitingly, rendered speechless in the afterglow of such a stupendous orgasm. Alyssa waddled forward, weighed down by her gravid belly, before collapsing at his side and laying her head on his shoulder. John rolled them both so he was spooned up behind her, his strong masculine hand stroking her engorged belly possessively and protectively. Alyssa breathed a long sigh of previously unknown contentment before the couple fell into a deep, restful slumber.



Three Square Meals Ch. 04



John slowly opened his eyes, as the fog of the night's sleep began to fade from his mind. He was about to perform his normal stretching routine when he felt a strange weight on his left side. He looked down to see a mass of blonde hair resting against his shoulder and the previous night's events came flooding back to him. He half turned, careful not to awaken his sleeping companion as he wrapped his arm around her again. This was a new experience for him and he savoured the feelings of protectiveness he felt for his young bed mate.

John's hand began a careful and gentle exploration over the nubile girl's body. Alyssa's tummy had shrunk back to normal size again, her body voraciously consuming the high protein feast he had fed the pretty teenager the evening before. The gloriously smooth skin on her toned stomach felt incredible to his sensitive finger tips. His hand roamed upwards, cupping one of her breasts which nearly filled his hand with warm, pliant flesh. He decided not to do any more exploring for fear of waking her, so he settled down for a nice lie-in and waited for the young girl to waken on her own. 

John didn't have to wait for long, as only 10 minutes later Alyssa stirred as well. She seemed to initially flinch when feeling another body surrounding her, but as she regained full consciousness she sighed happily and snuggled in to his embrace. She raised her hand to brush the wayward blonde locks from her face and twisted in his arms to look up at him. John studied her lovely fresh young face and realised he would have to stop thinking of her as pretty and more accurately describe her as beautiful. Alyssa's skin seemed to be glowing this morning and she looked radiant. Her piercing blue eyes were sharp and focused, watching his every movement intently. The wide, full smile on her face lifted his spirits and he felt a strange feeling of contentment and happiness that were most unusual for him.

"Do you know what I'd like to do today?" She asked him quizzically.

"I'm fascinated to find out" John replied, genuinely interested.

"Have breakfast in bed!" The exuberant teen answered, before ducking below the covers.

John could only moan appreciatively as the eager girl zeroed in on his stiffening shaft and engulfed him in the warm, wet softness of her mouth. He leaned back, fingers interlocked behind his head as he enjoyed the insistent sucking sensation that felt so wonderful on his cock. He could see no sign of Alyssa, just the bobbing mound under the covers, but he could hear the delightfully debauched sounds of her slick mouth as she slid up and down his length.

He lost track of time as his enthusiastic companion worked her magic on him and before he knew it, he was gasping in pleasure as his balls gave up their sweet tasting reward. He came long and hard, serving the teenage girl her first meal of the deal. Alyssa appeared from under the covers a few moments later, licking her lips suggestively. 

"Mmmm, that was a hearty breakfast" She purred contentedly as she sat up and stroked her convex tummy.

John got up and kissed the beautiful young woman squarely on the lips. "Thanks Alyssa, that was a magnificent way to start the day". 

"You're welcum" she replied.

"I am indeed!" riposted John as he swaggered to the shower. He stepped into the roomy cubicle and the autosensing jets of water began a rhythmic pitter-patter as he relaxed under their warm caress. He was able to finish his shower uninterrupted, which left him feeling just slightly disappointed, hoping his lovely companion might have joined him.

He reached up for a towel as he left the shower, rubbing himself dry as he walked back into his cabin. The sight before him stopped him in his tracks. He almost had to pinch himself to check to see if he was dreaming and he marvelled at the sight before him.

His bed was a vision of orderly perfection. While he had been in the shower, Alyssa had made his bed for him. He took in the crisp clear lines, the smoothed out pillows, even the 8" strip of sheet folded back over the cover. 

"That's how you like it, right?" She asked cautiously.

John picked the young woman up in a tight hug before swirling her in a circle around him. She laughed gaily, delighted at his reaction. He planted a big smacking kiss on her lips before placing her down lightly on her feet again.

"Thanks honey, that was very thoughtful" He smiled down at her appreciatively. The girl basked in his praise and grinned up at him. John considered getting dressed, but then decided to embrace the new 'clothing optional' dress code aboard his ship.

"Is there anything else I can do to help around here?" Alyssa offered enthusiastically.

"If you could bring me some breakfast and meet me in the cockpit, that would be fantastic!" John replied. Having a crewmate was turning out to be most useful indeed.

Alyssa nodded eagerly and bounded out of the cabin. He followed the teenager out of the door and then turned right and headed into the cockpit. "I wish I still had that much youthful energy" He thought to himself as he eased himself into the Pilot's seat. 

John checked the ship's performance readouts and the long range scanner for any activity. He then moved on to track the progress the ship was making on the route home. He was so engrossed in the system charts that he hadn't noticed that Alyssa had returned, an assortment of food placed carefully on the console. She sat quietly, quite fascinated, as she watched him follow their projected path through the holographic representation of the upcoming systems.

"Which system are we travelling through now?" The inquisitive girl asked, snapping him out of his preoccupied state.

"This is Carilan-Prime" John pointed at the glowing red orb in the centre of the holo-display. His hand made a slight sweeping gesture and the display moved on to centre on a fiery orange orb surrounded by the arcs of its satellite planets. "and this is Iridani-Major, we will be travelling through here next" he said, as his finger traced the blue path of their intended course.

"I like learning about stars. Stars are pretty!" Alyssa chirped, her face a picture of wide eyed innocence.

John looked at her incredulously, before her expression broke suddenly and she dissolved into peals of laughter.

"Ok you had me there for a minute" John grinned good naturedly.

"I'm sorry John" The teenager smiled apologetically. She reached out and touched his arm. "Please continue, I'd love to know more".

John launched into a beginners guide to Astro-Navigation. Alyssa was a remarkably quick study and was able to rapidly grasp the concepts of gravity wells, flight vectors and directed thrust. He soon found himself moving on to more complex topics and was pleasantly surprised that she was able to process and understand those too. They spent a few hours covering as much as he could recall off the top of his head, before he turned her loose to practice using the ships navigation system. He was delighted with her progress as she plotted a potential course through a sector, using a sling shot manoeuvre around a gas giant to increase the ships velocity.

"That was excellent, Alyssa! Are you sure you've never had any kind of training on this before?"

The girl shook her head, beaming at the praise.

"Keep this up and we'll make a first class navigator out of you in no time!" John grinned encouragingly, waving her back to the console to continue practicing what he had just taught her.

He reached over to the food she had brought him and tucked in, savouring the fresh tasting apple and then chewing his way through the protein bars. He watched his eager new student as she cycled through the stellar charts, experimenting with navigation routes and flight trajectories. The teenager had a quick and agile mind he realised, as he forced himself to re-evaluate his young companion. He pondered on what a tragic waste her growing up in such a bleak environment had been. He felt sad thinking about how many other bright young lives had their potential wasted in such a manner. 

Alyssa seemed to sense the change in his mood and looked over at the downcast expression on his face. "Did I do something wrong?" She asked, worried that she had upset him somehow.

"No, No, of course not, you've been doing great!" John replied quickly, snapping out of his dark introspection. "Sorry, my mind just wandered a bit".

"Maybe I can help distract you" Alyssa replied, as she rose from her chair and walked towards him. 

The sultry young woman held the back of his chair and gracefully swung her shapely leg over his thighs, before carefully lowering herself to sit in his lap facing him. It was a move John had seen exotic dancers perform before and Alyssa executed it perfectly. She cupped his face in her hands and then moved in to press her full lips against his. They shared a number of tender kisses like this before the girl's mouth parted and she delicately licked his lips with the tip of her tongue. Her tongue brushed over his lips as it darted into his mouth, as she began to escalate the passion of their encounter. She kissed him fiercely, before he responded and began to duel her darting tongue with his own. 

John's body responded accordingly and his manhood grew thick and hard as the teenager kissed him passionately. Her small breasts grazed over his chest, her pick nipples excited and erect. He moved his hands to hold her fantastically firm ass cheeks which caused the girl to moan into his mouth. He lifted her slightly, then repositioned her, so that her labia were centred over the shaft of his burgeoning cock.

"Ooohhhhh" She gasped, as he rocked her body along his length, her lubrication easing the way.

Alyssa opened her eyes and stared intently into his matching gaze. Her mouth was slightly parted, her lips glistening after their kiss. John's strong hands held her firmly and he stroked the teen's body along the underside of his cock, the warm wet velvety touch felt amazing.

"Unh, unh, unh" she moaned breathily, her face mere inches from his own as he rocked her in his lap.

The girl's clit was in constant contact with the firm heat of his shaft and her thighs began to tremble as her body revelled in the stimulation. Alyssa threw her head back, her hair billowing out behind her as she rode him to climax. 

"Ohhhhhhhhh, I'm coming!" She wailed, as her body reacted to the overwhelming sensations from her clit. 

She arched her back, her tummy pressed against him as she came hard, her hips making tiny rocking movements as she thrust against him. She rode out her orgasm, before collapsing forward to rest on his chest. He stroked her back comfortingly as her panted breath tickled his neck. Eventually her breathing returned to normal as she sat up and thanked him with a soft and tender kiss.

Alyssa lifted herself off his lap, smoothly dismounting and standing to his side. He already began to miss the silky smoothness of her body where she had straddled him. She turned towards the doorway, looking over her shoulder with a lust filled, heavy lidded glance and held out her hand for him to take. John rose behind her and reached out to take her small hand in his much larger one. The beautiful young woman turned back to face the door and led him back to his cabin. He could only follow behind mutely, transfixed by the hypnotic movement of her hips and the way her perfectly rounded ass cheeks seemed to sway enticingly.

They entered his room and Alyssa let her hand slip from his. She turned to look at him coyly over her shoulder, as she climbed on to the bed, arching her back suggestively. She waited patiently as his roaming eyes drank in the delicious curves of her body, before he locked eyes with her again. Never dropping eye contact, she smoothly rotated her body so that she was lying down on her back on the bed, her head towards him. Alyssa let her eyes drift close, then moved back just enough so that her shoulders were resting near the end of the bed, her head tilted slightly backwards. Her mouth slowly opened, her full succulent lips forming a welcoming oval. Her pink tongue darted out to lick her top lip suggestively, before waiting for him invitingly.

John's realised he had been holding his breath, transfixed as he was by the erotic and sensual display. He took a deep breath to steady himself, before walking towards the prostrate girl in front of him. She was offering her body to use for his pleasure and after feeling her spasming along his length only a short while before, he was desperate for his own release.

He hefted his massive cock in his hand, bringing the swollen mushroom head to rest on Alyssa's wonderfully soft lips. Her tongue snaked out, licking daintily at the tip, leaving him glistening in its wake. He saw her chest rise, her lungs filling with air as she took a deep breath, before she opened her mouth wider and engulfed the throbbing head of his dick. John leaned over the girl, placing his hands on either side of her torso, his body dwarfing hers.

The urge to thrust forward was irresistible and his hips pushed forward. His mighty cock slid smoothly to the back of Alyssa's mouth, before finding the familiar entrance to her throat. He stopped to savour the warmth of her hot little mouth surrounding him, as she sucked eagerly, beckoning him deeper. Taking the hint, he drove forward, impaling the teenagers welcoming body until his balls rested over her nose. It was fascinating to watch her slim neck bulge outwards as his invading tool forced her tight throat to accommodate his girth.

"Aahhhh" he gasped with relief, feeling the warm, snug grip as he was embedded to his full length again. 

"Mmmmmmm" Alyssa moaned contentedly, the vibrations feeling incredible as she sucked him, as he rested deep in her gullet.

His balls ached for release and he could feel them trembling with anticipation. He slowly and cautiously withdrew the entirety of his male sword from its female sheath, until the head cleared the wanton teens lips. He paused for a moment, his heavy tool throbbing forebodingly above the teenagers head as she leaned up to plant soft sensuous kisses along his shaft.

Alyssa's mouth opened into that inviting oval for him again and he took up that invitation, gliding into her proffered throat with one long satisfying thrust. He began to drive his cock into her encouraging and welcoming mouth, truly face fucking the beautiful girl for the first time. 

Alyssa revelled in being pinned to the bed under him as he pounded her mouth and throat. She used her lips to maintain a tight seal around him and sucked encouragingly whenever he paused in his smooth thrusting action. She looked up at his four swollen balls as they swayed back and forth above her face. Soon their contents would be blasting into her slim young belly, forcing her body to expand and home their delicious cream. She could hardly wait.

John drove forward again and again, his breathing becoming laboured as he got closer to his peak. He pulled out completely so that Alyssa could breathe, but she grabbed his ass and pulled him back into her enticing throat. Her clear excitement and lust was the trigger for him to climax and his body spasmed powerfully as his balls raised up to deliver their cargo.

"Aaahhhhhh!" He bellowed with relief as the orgasm washed over him, thick heavy spunk blasting out of his cock to fill the waiting girl below him. He could only stare starry eyed at her rapidly moving throat, as she sucked eagerly to get every last drop of his cum. Surge after surge of semen filled the young girl's stomach as her tummy desperately tried to house the warm, heavy meal. John watched in awe as her belly rounded out and rapidly inflated as he unloaded his spunk into her. 

"Mmmmmppphhh!" Alyssa moaned out her own orgasm as her thighs trembled in time with John's.

The powerful pulses of cum eventually subsided and John pulled his spent cock from the girl's lovely lips. He pitched forward and collapsed on the bed to her side as he laboured for breath. Alyssa bathed in the afterglow of her orgasm and stroked her swollen midriff contentedly, loving the fantastically full feeling. She covered John with the sheet where he lay comatose on the bed and snuggled in behind him, hugging the broad expanse of his back. She sighed happily as she waited for him to return to the land of the living. 

John gradually recovered from the explosive orgasm, his balls feeling satisfyingly numb after energetically delivering their load. He turned to face Alyssa, where she was lying behind him and kissed her softly. 

"That was amazing" He thanked her appreciatively. 

Alyssa returned his kiss on her lips, then rubbed the tip of her nose against his in an eskimo kiss, before smiling broadly.

"Help me up would you handsome?" the teenager requested holding out one of her hands, while the other rested on top of her sperm bloated belly. 

"Sure thing, beautiful" John replied as he gallantly took her hand, assisting the unbalanced girl to her feet. 

Alyssa looked hesitant for a moment. "Is it ok if I continue learning about astro-navigation?" she asked shyly.

"Go right ahead" John answered, pleased that she was so keen to learn. "Just let me know if you see anything on the long range scanner".

His enthusiastic student nodded eagerly and set off to the cockpit, humming happily to herself. John worked through a mental checklist of maintenance chores that needed completing, before coming up with a number of tasks that would keep him busy for a few hours.

This provided a pattern for the next week, with John working on various jobs around the ship, while his young guest spent her hours learning as much as she could absorb. They met up regularly for mealtimes before he would send her on her way with a nicely rounded out tummy.

John awoke on one particular morning, slowly opening his eyes to see Alyssa's excited face watching him closely. 

"Oh goodie, you're finally awake!" She grinned exuberantly. "Come on, I want to show you something!" The perky teenage bubbled, her excitement contagious.

"What is it?" John asked groggily, still not quite fully awake. The beautiful young woman swung lithely over him before pivoting gracefully and landing nimbly on her feet. 

"Come and see!" She called to him over her shoulder, as she skipped out of the room.

John roused himself and followed the girl out of his cabin. He strolled into the cockpit and sat down in the pilot's chair, spinning it to face her. Alyssa suddenly seemed nervous, as though she was apprehensive about revealing her surprise now he was there and waiting. 

"I plotted a new course to the core worlds" she said hesitantly. "Please take a look and see what you think".

John nodded agreeably and turned to look at the holo-display, curious to see what his protégé had been up to. The display sprung up before him, clearly showing their current path through the upcoming star systems highlighted in blue. The computer helpfully displayed an ETA next to his blue course, the digits indicating 15 days. Alyssa reached over and her fingers flickered, summoning up the overlay showing her proposed course highlighted in green. He looked over at the summary for the green course, wondering how Alyssa had got on and was shocked to see the result... 10 days.

"There must be some kind of mistake" John thought to himself as he double checked the summary. No, the course was definitely plotted from their current location to his intended core world system. He began to zoom in to the system charts, looking at the route in more detail as it wove its way from star to star. 

He was able to follow the calculations for a while, before some things didn't look right. He was about to point out what he believed to be several mistakes when he suddenly remembered that the Navi-computer had confirmed the girl's course was valid. He turned to look at his young companion and saw that she was nibbling on one of her nails nervously, awaiting his verdict.




Three Square Meals Ch. 04



"This is absolutely incredible Alyssa" He smiled at her in wonder, shaking his head in disbelief. A huge grin broke out on the beautiful young woman's face.

"I must admit I couldn't follow what you did here" John pointed to a key location on the course.

"Oh I did some research and tried something new! It's called warp tunnelling!" She answered animatedly. "You can create the effect by oscillating the hyper-wake..." Alyssa launched into a complicated explanation of Astro-Physics that went way beyond his layman's understanding of the subject.

John turned and pushed a button on the console, confirming that her newly plotted course should be laid in for the ship. 

"I'm in awe honey, you seem to have surpassed my navigation skills" He admitted honestly. "I'll let you plot our course from now on!"

"Yay!!" Alyssa clapped excitedly. 

The teenager was suddenly nervous again as she reached behind her and picked up her ID. She passed it over to him, a pensive look on her face.

"What is it Alyssa, are you ok?" John asked, surprised by her abrupt change in mood.

"Please scan it" Alyssa requested cautiously.

"Your ID? I don't understand..." John replied, somewhat confused. He turned to the console again and scanned in the girl's ID. He waited a moment for the readout to confirm her details. 

"Alyssa Marant"

"Age 18"

"No outstanding warrants"

"Navigator First Class"

John blinked twice before reading the display again. The glowing green text confirmed it for him: Navigator First Class.

"What... how did you...?" He blurted out astonished. These IDs were not forgeable, at least not without millions of credits worth of very illegal equipment.

"I've been staying up late and studying. I took the Astro-Navigation exam last night when you were asleep" His young ward explained cautiously. "You aren't mad are you?" Her young face was wary, watching for his reaction.

John's mind whirled, trying to process this astonishing turn of events. The girl must be some kind of genius to have mastered this subject so quickly. It normally took months of study and years of practical experience to qualify at that high a grade. With a First class Navigator's license, Alyssa would be able to command a hefty salary with a wide choice of ships clamouring for her skills. She really did have a blazingly bright future ahead of her.

John had a catch in his throat and he had difficulty speaking. "This is amazing Alyssa, I'm so proud of you" he congratulated her, his voice thick with emotion.

Alyssa had been waiting for his reaction with trepidation and when he spoke, he saw her eyes well up with tears. She got up and sat in his lap, hugging him tightly.

They sat like that for a few minutes, overcome for a moment with the heady emotions. John stroked the young girl's back reassuringly before she released him from her fierce hug and pulled down his face to kiss his lips tenderly. Their kisses grew more passionate, before John stood suddenly, scooping up the young girl in his arms. 

"Let's move this to our cabin, It's time for a proper reward!" he smiled down at her.

John might not have picked up on his subtle renaming of his cabin from 'my' to 'our', but Alyssa noted it straight away. She smiled back at him, feeling a giddy lightness in her chest. She couldn't ever remember feeling this happy before.

John spread the beautiful young woman on his bed and then mounted the bed himself, hovering over her. He leaned down and gently kissed the swooning girl on her full, sensuous lips which she returned passionately. He moved from her welcoming mouth, trailing kisses along her well defined jaw-line, before moving up to plant some more along the outside of her left ear. 

"Ooohhh" Alyssa moaned breathily as shivers ran down the length of her body.

He moved down, as the girl arched her back, tilting her head back and exposing her throat. Her graceful neck received more kisses before he worked his way over her sternum to her firm, proud breasts. They stood up from her chest, full, round and luscious, her soft pink nipples pointed upwards and demanding his attention. He took each one into his mouth in turn, gently sucking as her body reacted to his touch.

"Oooohhhhhhh" Alyssa moaned again louder and longer, as he ran his nails around the tender, sensitive skin on the soft side swell of her breasts. Her tits felt wonderful as he cupped them in his strong hands. They were each just slightly larger than his eager hands could hold and her flesh felt warm, soft and firm under his excited touch. Something tickled at the back of John's mind, but he ignored it to focus completely on the writhing teenager beneath him.

John moved lower, planting gentle kisses along the girl's skin, her chest thrust upwards as she gasped for breath. The top of her stomach formed a perfect arch where it met her ribs, and he admired the incredible curves of the female form. He moved further down, his lips parting slightly so his tongue could flicker out to taste the wonderfully soft skin of her stomach. His hands moved down, following her contours, from her narrow slim waist to her flared hips. 

Alyssa parted her legs widely to give him plenty of room to kneel in front of her. His questing lips kissed lower over her abdomen before veering to the side to take playful, gentle nips at the silky smooth skin of her spread thighs. He copied the movement on the other leg, avoiding her pussy and causing the gasping girl to arch her back with need.

Finally having mercy, John moved back to her centre and began to carefully kiss around the outside of her pussy. As he kissed along the side of her labia, he noticed that Alyssa's blonde downy hair was missing and she was now completely exposed to him. Liking the new look, he took advantage of her exposure to kiss and explore her body. Her skin felt soft and supple, like she had been waxed completely smooth. He began to lap at her pussy, licking either side of her lips before moving forward with his tongue to seek out her clit. He gazed up over the acres of toned, tanned skin of her slim tummy to watch Alyssa's reaction, but with her back arched and the perfect spheres of her firm breasts pointing upwards, he couldn't see her face. 

Again John's mind seem to itch, as it struggled to grasp hold of something. The slippery thought proved elusive however, so John concentrated on giving the girl pleasure.

His strong hands slid under the girl's back, feeling the toned muscles beneath his fingers, before he moved them lower to cup her pert little ass cheeks. Alyssa moaned again as he worked on her clit, just focusing on licking the sensitive little organ with the tip of his tongue. He alternated between that and long sensuous licks using the flat top of his tongue and the alternating sensation drove the teenager wild with lust. Her thighs trembled violently as she got closer to climax.

"Ooohh, ohhh, ohhh!" The gyrating girl gasped as he lapped away at her pussy. Her breathy cries sounded amazing and his massively swollen cock was a testament to how turned on he was.

Working the beautiful young woman to a crescendo, he captured her clit in her mouth, sucking at her, before stroking her with his tongue. This was the trigger that finally allowed her to cum, and Alyssa exploded in orgasm, her body twisting and turning as though to escape his eager mouth. John kept the helpless girl pinned in place and licked, nibbled and sucked her to three escalating orgasms before he finally released her. 

John watched the girl's chest heave as she struggled for air. Her gasps and moans having left her quite breathless. He moved to her side and laid a trail of soft kisses over her stomach, between her pert breasts and finally to plant a gentle kiss on her mouth. Alyssa's eyes opened slowly and she kissed him back, her lips moving in silent gratitude. 

The beautiful teenager took a long breath, which she let out with a sigh. John rested comfortably beside her as she rolled over on her tummy, her head resting on the pillow. Her piercing blue eyes heavy with lust as she gazed at him languidly.

He reached out to caress her shoulder, gently brushing aside her lustrous blonde mane. His hand followed the sculpted muscles of her back as his fingers brushed down her spine. His hand coasted over the lower part of her back, feeling the slight dimples above her bottom. He then moved that hand lower, to cup and stroke her lovely derriere. Her ass was pert, the muscles taut under the probing touch of his fingers. He massaged one cheek and then the other, admiring its rounded firmness.

"I often think back on that time in the shower" Alyssa purred suggestively as John explored her body. She watched and waited for his reaction.

John smiled as he recalled the lustful memory and let his hand slip lower between her cheeks. The girl spread her thighs a little, to let his searching fingers collect moisture from her soaked pussy. He moved his finger back upwards and caressed her rosebud again, re-enacting the moves from his memory.

"Mmmmm, that feels good" Alyssa sighed, encouraging him to continue.

John applied some gentle but insistent pressure and he was able to slide his lubricated finger into the wonderfully tight hole. Her snug little anus gripped his finger tightly, only letting him push in past the first knuckle. He paused for a moment, letting her adjust to the intrusion. The young girl closed her eyes and moaned softly.

"Do you like that honey?" He whispered into her ear, as her body relaxed and let him push in further, this time past the second knuckle.

"Mmm-hmm" She moaned back seductively. "But it feels like I need something bigger..."

John slowly withdrew his finger to get a second digit well lubricated in her pussy. He added that finger to the first and then gently pushed the pair at her now slippery nether hole.

"Oooohhhh" Alyssa gasped as he stretched her tight little ass wider than before, his fingers sliding inside her. She managed to stay relaxed and her body was able to welcome the full length of both fingers as he slowly and carefully penetrated her.

"Mmm, that's a bit better" she purred. Her body seemed to grasp his fingers in a hot, tight embrace as her hips rocked back and forth a few millimetres at a time. "It feels like I need something bigger though... Something hot, hard and long". 

Barely able to believe his ears, John eased his fingers from the girls tight embrace and then knelt in front of her, his huge, engorged cock leading the way. Alyssa opened her eyes when she felt his heat at her lips and looked up at him lustily.

"That looks perfect" The girl said before licking his throbbing crown. "Now let's make sure he's wet enough to slide right in" She parted her lips and took in his head, sucking strongly at him to urge him in further. John cupped her blonde mane in his hand, and then stuffed inch after inch of his wide girthed length down her throat. He stopped pushing forward when he felt her nose against his stomach and her chin resting against his balls. Alyssa's throat seemed to massage his whole cock before he slowly withdrew, her slick tongue making sure he was well lubricated with saliva.

She kissed the end, then lay her head down on the pillow again, waiting expectantly. John moved down the bed, moving so that he was astride the prostrate girl. His gaze moved down her smooth, muscled back until it fell on her perfectly round ass cheeks. The cleft between the rounded spheres was dark and inviting, hiding the treasures within.

Supporting his weight with one hand, and guiding his throbbing cock with the other, he brought the swollen head up to nudge between her pert bottom. The girl reached back with both hands to spread her cheeks, exposing the pink, tight little knot of muscle to his burning gaze. He nuzzled up against it with the broad head of his shaft, blocking it completely from sight. 

John pushed forwards with his hips, applying insistent pressure. The tight ring tried its best to refuse entry, but eventually the lubrication and the undeniable pressure proved to be its undoing.

"Unnnhhhhh" Alyssa groaned as her anus unfurled, the heavy, blunt head of John's cock forcing it's way inside. The tight ring was stretched wide open, enveloping him like a second skin. For a moment Alyssa panicked that he was too big and that her ring would tear, but then it snapped tightly over the rim of the mushroom head, offering her slight relief.

"Ooohhhhh" The exposed girl moaned through gritted teeth as she tried to relax and accommodate the huge invader.

John held still, to let the quivering teenager adapt to the stretching her body was experiencing. He waited until the tension left her arms and she looked over her shoulder at him. Her gaze was heavy lidded with lust, as she nodded imperceptibly at him to continue. Supporting his weight with his arms, he began to flex his hips slightly, pushing a few more millimetres of his burgeoning length deeper into the compliant young woman. The slick saliva eased his way into her hot tight passage and he was able to push further in, until half his cock was buried in the girl's ass.

Alyssa hands tried to spread her quivering buttocks further apart, to ease the way for his thrusting shaft. John was able to push even further inside her colon, her rectum stretched wide by his huge girth. Alyssa moaned and panted with every inch he gained inside her until her snug anus was wrapped tightly around the base of his cock. Her firm, round little cheeks were pressed right up against his groin and their trembling felt magnificent as he rested, fully embedded inside her.

"So full..." Alyssa groaned, feeling his turgid weight deep in her belly.

"That's a good girl, you took my whole length" John whispered in Alyssa's ear comfortingly.

His swollen balls were pressed right up against her pussy and he could feel her excited heat beneath him. "Can you feel my heavy balls resting on you?" He enquired. The girl could only nod that she could. "They are packed full of cum... and where does that cum belong?" he asked.

"In... my tummy" She gasped, her senses overloaded.

"Yes, that's right" he crooned in her ear "Such a good girl". 

John began to slowly pull back, leaving her bowels feeling vacant and empty as he withdrew. Alyssa hissed at the bizarre feeling of being voided in this way. He pulled his hips back until just the head was still inside her, her tight anus refusing to give up its clenching grip under the helm of his cock. Reversing direction, John pushed back into her, his passage much easier this time.

"Uuuufffff" Alyssa gasped out loud as she was suddenly shoved full of meat again. She had never felt this stuffed before. Her internal organs having to rearrange themselves to find room to fit this enormous intruder.

John began to establish a steady rhythm, sliding his broad cock deep into her ass time and time again. The girl could only grunt and groan as he stroked into her snug fitting anus.

"Unhh, unh, unh, unnnnhhh!" She moaned as he thrust away at her.

John rested on her back, kneeling to either side of her legs, her smaller body completely covered by his own. He gripped the end of the bed in a firm grasp as he rocked back and forth, fucking her smoothly in the ass. The teenager had arched her back, her skin glistening with perspiration. Her head was thrown back, resting against his shoulder and her eyes were squeezed tightly closed. The beautiful teen's mouth hung open as she gasped with pleasure, her lips swollen with passion. Alyssa's hands came forward to cover his own, and they interlaced their fingers, gripping each other tightly.

"That's it baby, you're so fucking hot!" John hissed in her ear, as he pounded her firm taut cheeks under his hips.

"Do it harder" She grunted in reply "Show me who's boss!"

John kissed the panting teenager fiercely, which she returned with passion. Her sweat slicked hair flew around her face as he rutted into the clenching grip of her ass, fucking her furiously. He couldn't remember ever feeling this turned on before, his body surrendering to the pure animalistic lust as he buggered the beautiful teenager splayed out beneath him. Eventually the vice like tightness of her anal passage milked him to the point of release and he thrust hard into her as his balls exploded in climax. John was seeing spots before his eyes as cum rocketed out of his cock and blasted into the teens bowels.

"Ohhhhh I can feel it inside me... It's so hot!" Alyssa gasped as he gave her a cum enema. 

She joined him in climax, her excited young body bucking and convulsing beneath him as he rode out his long explosive climax. With his weight pinning her place, she was forced to accept each long surge of spunk, her stomach rounding out beneath her as he filled up her intestines.

"Ohh fuck!" she groaned helplessly, as her waistline expanded to house his thick, heavy cum.

"That's it baby, got to fill your belly" John grunted, as his balls lurched again and again.

They stayed locked in place, his cock balls deep up her ass, as his hips drove her into the bed, trying to force his spunk as far inside her as it would go. Alyssa could only hold on tight as the firm, supple skin of her tummy stretched to home all his cum. His jism felt warm and heavy as it filled her up, comforting her as he used her ripe young body.

Eventually John's orgasm abated and he rolled over to the girl's side so that he wouldn't squash her with his weight. His deflating cock slithered from her ass, which sealed up tight behind him. They cuddled together as they both panted for breath, as he gently stroked her cum packed belly.

"Oh John, that was amazing" Alyssa gasped. "I felt so submissive, so helpless, like I had surrendered all control". The satiated young woman sighed contentedly "It felt so... intense".

John could only nod mutely in agreement, not quite yet able to speak.

Their breathing eventually returned to normal as they relaxed in the afterglow of a truly tremendous climax. Suddenly Alyssa lurched upright, a funny look on her face, before she dashed to the bathroom. She returned a few minutes later blushing cutely, her tummy now returned to its normal size. John didn't comment and just opened his arms, inviting her back to his embrace. They relaxed together, enjoying the comfortable silence.

"Grrrumble" John's stomach protested loudly, breaking the moment.

Alyssa laughed, the melodic sound filling his cabin. "You poor man, let me go fix you some breakfast!" she volunteered obligingly. He watched entranced at the alluring sway of her hips as she padded out of the cabin and headed towards the rec room. John marvelled at his good fortune. 

"What could I have possibly done in a previous life to have got this lucky?" He thought to himself as he closed his eyes with a big grin on his face and waited for Alyssa to return. 

He was missing something important however and the unknown mystery tingled in his mind, dancing tantalisingly out of reach. He was developing strong feelings for his young shipmate and it was clouding his reasoning.

John sat up and adopted his meditative pose. He breathed long deep breaths for several minutes, calming himself and trying to centre his being. The rapid blur of events over the last couple of weeks seemed to fade away and he felt sharp and in control once again.

A few minutes passed before his keen ears picked up the soft measured tread of Alyssa's feet as she walked back to their cabin. The beautiful young woman stepped smoothly into view, carrying a tray in her hands that supported a varied selection of fruit, some pastries and a couple of chilled glasses of water. She posed her shapely body for him coquettishly, before her lithe long legs carried her into the room.

"Breakfast is served!" She smiled at him, flashing sparkling white teeth, before sitting at the end of the bed and placing the try between them.




Three Square Meals Ch. 04



John was amazed at how hungry he was as he devoured the fruit and pastries in no time. Alyssa watched him eat, just plucking the occasional grape from the bunch and popping it between her succulent lips. He eventually finished the morning feast, feeling contentedly full and replenished. 

His new found clarity let him drink in the appearance of his breakfast companion for seemingly the first time, the fog shrouding his mind finally clearing. He couldn't believe the huge transformation she had undergone in such a relatively short period of time. He had a sudden brainwave and rose to his feet. 

"Thanks for a wonderful morning" He thanked the beautiful young woman before leaning in for a kiss. 

Alyssa beamed up at him happily before she began to tidy up their room. John strode purposefully to the cockpit and sat in the pilot's chair before rotating to face the console. He pressed a couple of buttons, searching for the recording he had made a couple of weeks before. He found it a few moments later and reviewed the footage.

The video camera reinforced what he had suspected, but his mind had oddly seemed to ignore. The ghostly white girl in the footage was about 5' 2" tall, a 28A cup if he guessed correctly and painfully skinny, suffering from malnutrition. John turned to the doorway.

"Alyssa, could you come here a moment please" He called to the cabin, hitting the record button on the internal cameras again.

Alyssa came into view, her slinky walk reminding him of a catwalk model as she glided over to see him. 

"What's up John?" She enquired politely as she sat in the co-pilots chair, her posture erect and self assured. 

His eyes lingered over her succulent form before he tore his gaze back to the console. He pressed a couple of buttons causing a nearby monitor to blaze into life and play back the newly recorded footage. 

The beautiful teen sauntered into view on the screen, before he paused the recording. The stunningly attractive girl filling the image was about 5'8" tall, her 32 D breasts appearing huge on her slim athletic build. Her tanned, flawless skin seemed to glow and her hour-glass curves were the epitome of feminine allure. Golden blonde hair cascaded down past her shoulders, thick and lustrous, it framed her exquisitely beautiful face perfectly.

Alyssa cast her eyes towards the monitor, intrigued by the image. "Wow, she's gorgeous John! Who is that, an ex-girlfriend?" The teenager teased him playfully.

"It's not just me under this spell" John mused to himself.

"Look again honey" John asked quietly, as he hit a couple more buttons. The adjacent monitor flickered to life showing a still of the previous recording. The stark comparison between the pale, skinny waif and the tanned vibrant beauty could not be more glaring.

Alyssa pouted when she saw the picture of herself. "Hey, that's harsh. We can't all be as beautiful as this mysterious goddess" She said, pointing at the other image, her feelings hurt.

"You are the goddess, sweetheart" John smiled reassuringly.

"That's kind of you to say" Alyssa mumbled, clearly not understanding and thinking he was just being kind.

John laughed, this wasn't getting them anywhere. "Come here" he commanded, holding his arms open in a clear invitation for her to sit in his lap.

Alyssa got up and then sat down obediently, still not understanding the situation.

John reached around the confused girl and cupped her round, firm breasts. This evoked a contented sigh from the teenager as she enjoyed his tender touch.

"Look at the pictures again, honey" he whispered in her ear. "Which of those girls has delicious breasts just like these?" He punctuated his comment by gently squeezing the taut flesh of her firm, pert chest.

John watched the girl's face as shocked understanding hit her suddenly. 

"Holy fuck!!" She profaned animatedly as she leapt to her feet, her hands moving up to cup her own breasts. The shocked girl gawked at the proud tits filling her hands and then back at the image on the screen.

"What... I... How is this possible?!" She gasped. 

"I'm not sure" John replied honestly. "I've never seen or heard of anything like this before".

Alyssa seemed to be trying to look at the monitor and examine her body at the same time, a look of stunned disbelief on her face. He waited patiently and let her acclimatise to her ravishing new form.

The lovely teenager eventually sat down demurely in the co-pilots chair her head tilted to the side as she scrutinised the two images in front of her. He could almost see her mind whirring as she processed this change.

"You said you had never had any long term girlfriends before" She asked directly "Was it all one night stands?"

John nodded tentatively. "Yes. With my unusual parentage, I figured it was probably for the best" he answered, repeating his earlier explanation.

"So you have never fed this amount of your cum to a girl before?" Alyssa probed him pointedly.

"No, never" he confirmed.

Alyssa sat, studying him shrewdly for a few minutes, her mind turning over possibilities, constructing theories. Eventually she seemed to make her mind up on something and a big beaming smile formed on her luscious lips.

"Well thanks for choosing me as your test subject!" She giggled cutely.

John laughed along with her. "You're welcum!" he joked, eliciting peals of laughter from the girl.

She came over to him and kissed him soundly. "I mean it John. Ever since I was a little girl I wanted boobs and it looked like I was never going to get them." She hefted her impressive rack in both hands. "These are awesome!!" she said, grinning at him.

"They really are!" John grinned back, her enthusiasm contagious.

The happy moment was suddenly cut short by a klaxon wail from the console, causing the couple to jump in surprise. There was something on the long range scanner!



Three Square Meals Ch. 05



"What was that?" Alyssa gasped.

"We're picking up an emergency distress beacon" John replied over the din of the klaxon. He pushed a button reducing the volume to a much more subdued level.

John looked at the monitor for more information. "It looks like it's a freighter experiencing engine trouble. They need a tow or spare parts."

"Are we going to help them?" Alyssa asked, excited at this unexpected turn of events.

"It could be a trap" John frowned.

"They might be genuine though!" Alyssa replied, eager to ride to the rescue.

John tapped his chin with a finger, looking thoughtful. "Ok, let's be cautious. We can approach under minimal power, so we won't appear on scanners. If they look legit we can help, if not, we pass them by"

Alyssa's eyes shone with excitement as she clapped her hands happily. John smiled at her and rolled his eyes theatrically. "We can't stroll in there naked though, we will need to sort you out an outfit" he said to the delightfully nude teenager.

"Unfortunately someone blasted my outfit into deep space!" She grinned at him.

John smiled right back "I doubt it would have fitted you any more anyway!" he said, admiring her pert bust and shapely curves.

Alyssa arched her back and thrust her chest out, her perfect D cup breasts standing high and proud with no sag whatsoever. "Perhaps so..." she smiled at him, enjoying the attention.

They had a look through John's spare gear. Most of his outfits were much too large for her, sized as they were for his broad shouldered 6'2" frame. They eventually found a form fitting body sleeve, that he would normally wear under a space suit. It hugged the contours of Alyssa's body in most interesting ways, but at least she wouldn't be completely naked.

John then turned toward his weapon locker. "Have you got any experience with firearms Alyssa?" he asked the nubile young woman.

"I've never fired one before, sorry" The teenager replied apologetically.

He pressed his thumb to the lock and the locker door rolled backwards to reveal the racks of weaponry. He looked through the guns trying to decide what would be the most sensible to give to her. He eventually settled on the auto shotgun and made sure it was unloaded before handing it to the girl.

He pressed a couple of buttons on the grip to increase the auto-damper, which would reduce weapon recoil. "It's still going to kick some if you fire quickly" he warned her "so be careful!"

They went through reloading and clearing jams, the best way to hold the weapon and how to use the infrared scope. Alyssa was an eager student and after an hour of intensive training, he felt reasonably confident that she wouldn't shoot him accidentally.

John grabbed a dangerous looking assault rifle and loaded the bullpup magazine with hollow point ammo. You had to be extremely careful firing weapons inside spacecraft, as one stray round punching through the hull could depressurise the ship. Using armour piercing ammunition was asking for trouble, so he hoped they didn't come across anyone unfriendly in tactical armour. He held the high tech weapon to his shoulder and looked through the integrated scope to check everything was fully operational. He donned his own combat gear which consisted of a Kevlar weave jumpsuit with ceramic composite plates to protect his limbs and chest. 

They headed back to the cockpit and powered down almost all of the ship's subsystems to keep as low a profile as possible. John let Alyssa plot the course and the darkened ship crept towards the source of the distress beacon.

An hour later and they were close enough for visual contact of the ship transmitting the distress signal. A large old freighter filled the viewscreen, but it seemed that John and Alyssa were not the only ones to respond to the signal. They could see a sleek Terran Federation Corvette had also docked with the troubled freighter.

"Oh, they beat us to it" said a deflated Alyssa.

"Hmm" John replied as he took in the scenario in front of them. "Something isn't right over there".

His finely tuned senses and years of ship to ship combat experience were all warning him that there was danger ahead. John had learnt to trust these instincts, as it was usually his subconscious picking up tiny details that all pointed to something being wrong. As he studied the scene, he realised what had been bothering him. The navigation lights on the Corvette had not been set for a docking manoeuvre, which would be unheard of, considering how most Federation Captain's were real sticklers for protocol. Unfortunately that meant the Corvette was in trouble and John had a certain number of obligations to the Federation, in exchange for some useful privileges. He blew out a deep breath in a long sigh.

"Ok. We're going to have to investigate and I'm sure there's going to be trouble" he informed his young shipmate.

Alyssa nodded in reply, looking wide eyed and apprehensive.

"Don't worry Alyssa, we'll be ok" he said reassuringly. "Just stick close behind me and I'll keep you safe".

John set up the docking solution to connect on the opposite side of the Federation Corvette to the freighter and the Fool's Gold slid silently into position. He led his young companion down to the cargo bay which housed the ship's airlock and they performed a final weapons check before he opened the door seal.

They stepped inside the airlock and John produced a small chrome device from a container on his belt. He hooked up the device and it hummed happily to itself when he placed it on the airlock door to the corvette. After a few moments there was a dull "Thunk" from the door in front of them and the sturdy airlock door rotated upwards, granting access to the ship. He retrieved the device and stashed it back on his belt.

John led the way and it didn't take long to find the first corpse. A Federation marine had been shot in a brief fire-fight in the adjacent corridor. They stepped carefully over the body and headed further into the ship.

The corvette interior wasn't large, consisting of a dozen rooms or so and it only took them 10 minutes to finish the sweep of the ship. They found 15 more dead crewmen and evidence of looting in most rooms. It looked like the crew had been caught by surprise and most of them had been killed during a hostile boarding action.

The only really interesting find was the ship's armoury. This room was sealed behind robust locked doors, which were scarred with the evidence of a number of attempts to blast them open. John hooked up the chrome device again and after a few moments of contented humming, the doors swung open smoothly. Alyssa looked on with a raised eyebrow as he uncoupled the device from the opened portal. 

"It's legit, I promise!" John whispered defensively, before leading them in to the armoury and locking the door behind them.

A quick glance through the contents provided some interesting results. They found a number of suits of standard issue Federation body armour, which the crew had not had time to equip. John searched through the suits until he found one in the right size and had Alyssa don the protective gear. He also found some grenades which he carefully loaded on his combat webbing.

They left the armoury and headed to the cockpit. John was looking for the ship's roster and was also interested in finding some more clues as to what had happened, hoping that the answers might be found in the Captain's log. Unfortunately the cockpit had been badly damaged in a fire-fight, the grenade that killed the Captain and the pilot had also ripped through the command console, rendering it a broken charred wreck.

They backtracked to the ship's medical bay, Alyssa following closely behind him. "Why are we going to medical?" She asked curiously.

John had stopped at one of the computers in the medical bay and was tapping away at the keyboard. "Well if I'm lucky.... Yes! I've found the crew's medical logs. This will give us a list of actively serving crew members".

The personnel roster confirmed his fears. There were 18 serving crewmen aboard this Corvette, which meant that three were missing. Almost all the dead Federation crew they had found were men and after a quick scan of the crew listings, the missing crew were all women.

John turned to his young companion. "It looks like they took three women as prisoners" He confirmed, with a grim look on his face. "I've seen what happens in these kind of scenarios before and it isn't pretty. Are you up for mounting a rescue operation?"

Alyssa looked up at him with wide eyes and she nodded her head vigorously. 

"This could get very dangerous, so follow all my instructions to the letter" he ordered.

The young girl threw him a quick salute, her face set in a determined expression.

"Ok then, let's move out" he instructed. "Stay behind me and cover our backs. If you see anyone, try and let me know before you start shooting"

They left the medical bay and moved quickly and quietly to the airlock on the other side of the Corvette, the one that was connected to the Freighter. The connecting doors had been left unsealed, leaving the way into the grubby interior of the other ship yawning wide open. The battered Freighter was in a terrible state of disrepair, with wall panels discarded on the floor and exposed power cables showing evidence of crude patching efforts. The corridors were filthy, which made John's lip curl with disgust.

He moved forward, carefully checking each intersection as they moved further inwards. This Freighter was old and battered, but it was also big and it would be easy to get lost in here. He motioned Alyssa to hug the wall a moment and the two crouched in the shadows. He tapped at the computer built into the vambrace on his left arm and a schematic of this model of freighter popped up on the screen. With a few more clicks he marked their current position and the route they would need to follow to leave. John nodded to his young companion and they set off again. 

They had still not encountered anybody and John was beginning to wonder where everyone was, when he began to hear the sounds of some kind of commotion up ahead. They moved closer, listening to the sounds of many raised voices shouting raucously. John turned a corner and saw that the corridor to his right opened out to the top level of some kind of cargo bay. He could see dozens of dark figures on the overhead gantries, leaning over railings to look at some scene below. These men were clearly pirates and the baying mob were drinking booze and laughing at the evening's entertainment. 

John held his hand palm upright to Alyssa indicating for her to stay right there, before he turned and crept closer to the cargo bay. As he approached the entrance to the room, he was eventually able to see through the transparent gantry floor. The dim flickering from the overhead lights illuminated a hellish scene below. 

John could see two broken and violated corpses on the cargo bay floor, while a brutish hulk of a creature lurched around, it's back to him. He watched for a moment as the hulking shape moved to the side and a much smaller figure came into his view. The figure was a woman, clearly terrified, as she desperately tried to ward off the threatening creature with a short metal pole she was using as a makeshift spear. 

The Largath, for thats what it was, was slobbering lasciviously while circling the missing crewwoman. Its rippling muscles flexed in its shoulders as it reared backwards and roared, cheered on by the pirates watching from above. The roar revealed that the creature was naked, a burgeoning, bright red, two foot long cock jutted out angrily from its groin, clearly intended for the unfortunate victim it was trying to corner.

John darted back to Alyssa, his presence unnoticed by the distracted pirates. "Two of the women are dead" He briefed her rapidly "We have to move fast if we want to save the last one".

Alyssa nodded silently, awaiting his orders. 

"I'll use flash grenades to stun the pirates on the gantries, then I'll take out anyone still moving" he said, outlining his plan quickly. 

"I want you to shoot the beast below with your shotgun. It's a big target so should be easy to hit. Just watch out for the woman".

The teenager raised her weapon to her shoulder indicating she was ready and John turned back to face the cargo bay again. They approached quickly in a crouch and he let his Assault rifle dangle on its strap around his neck as he grabbed a flash grenade in both hands. He depressed the timer on each grenade before rolling one along the gantry to the left and another to the right. He had just enough time to grab a third grenade which he lobbed in a graceful arc to land on the gantry opposite. 

The pair ducked down, closing their eyes tightly as the three grenades seemed to detonate simultaneously. The room was suddenly filled with different sounding screams as the men reacted to the searing light from the explosives. John took in the chaotic scene before him. Two pirates had stumbled over the barriers and had fallen the 30' drop to the cargo bay floor below. A third was desperately hanging on to the railing to avoid a similar fate. Most of the rest were rolling around on the gantries, clutching their faces in pain. One however was still standing, a burly looking guy with a bulky cybernetic eye. He raised an ugly looking pistol in John's direction as John levelled his own rifle back at the figure.

John's assault rifle chattered, as his three round burst hit the cyborg pirate square in the chest. The figure keeled over, red fountains of blood spraying out behind him. The heavy slug from the pirates pistol hit John in the arm, staggering him slightly. The round hadn't penetrated his armour, but it would leave a nasty bruise. John heard the bark of the shotgun from behind him as his young companion announced her presence.

Alyssa had kept her head down, waiting for the sound of explosions as John had instructed earlier. After the grenades went off, she moved forward to find her target. The Largath was roaring in defiance, it's four eyes blinking rapidly to try and shrug off the sudden blindness from the grenades. She looked through the infrared scope, picking out the cowering form of the woman they were trying to save as she huddled in the corner of the cargo bay. Alyssa focused her attention on the Largath, seeing the blazing bright two foot phallus in her heat sensitive scope. 

In the excitement of combat Alyssa made a rookie mistake, holding down the trigger on the shotgun and unloading the entire clip on the target. The recoil made the broad muzzle climb and half the shells sailed harmlessly over the Largath's head. Unfortunately for the hulking creature, the first few rounds had been viciously accurate and its groin was now a mangled red mess. The brutish creature keeled over on its front, squealing in agony.

John shot two more pirates as they struggled to regain their footing, the hollow point rounds painting the walls with copious amounts of blood. He looked over the railing and made eye contact with the terrified Federation crew woman. "Move!!!" He barked, pointing to a stepladder built into the wall to her side. The woman managed to gather her wits enough to stumble over and begin climbing the rungs of the ladder. 

The pirates were beginning to shrug off the effects of the grenades and several of them had drawn pistols and were firing wildly in the rescuer's direction. John dropped to his knee, taking careful aim before punching the tickets of three more of the brigands. The last he dropped with a headshot, the man crumpling backwards as his head exploded.

Alyssa could see the woman was struggling with the torturous climb, exhaustion and injuries taking their toll. She was about to climb down to help, when she saw that the Largath had stopped its mad thrashing on the floor and was struggling to stand. It's four eyes focused on the climbing crew-woman, both sets narrowing with hate.

The scared teenager popped out the spent magazine on the shotgun and slapped in another with shaking hands. She realised that if she didn't do something, the crewwoman had no chance. She leaned precariously over the railing, to make sure she had a clear line of sight on the furious beast below. The Largath's heavily muscled arm flailed around, attempting to grasp the climbing woman's leg. Alyssa's finger pulled the trigger as she took careful aim at the creatures head, It's narrowed eyes exploding under a rain of shotgun shells. The beast tottered over to the side, it's ruined head a shattered pulpy mess.

Unfortunately Alyssa's jubilation was short lived as she was hit in the chest by a slug from the pirates. The round deflected off the armour, but the blossoming pain of the impact was enough to make her lose balance and she began to topple over the railing. Just when she thought she was doomed, she was hauled back by a firm grip on her shoulder. As she rolled backwards, she saw John firing his assault rifle one handed at her assailant. The wild spray of rounds caught the pirate across the chest and he was flipped backwards by the impact of the bullets.

Hearing laboured panting coming from just below where she lay on the gantry, Alyssa reached over to grab the exhausted crewwoman. She pulled her up and over the ledge on to the gantry, the woman groaning in pain. 

"Help her back to the ship" John ordered from somewhere above, "I'll cover you". He crouched to her side, loading a fresh clip into his rifle. 

The trip back to the ship was the stuff of nightmares. The crewwoman was exhausted and badly injured, which meant that Alyssa had to heavily support her as they staggered back along their previous route. They were hounded by the furious pirates and John paused at each corridor intersection to temporarily hold them back with bursts from his rifle. Stray rounds from the pirates ricocheted down the hallways making hugging the walls a deadly mistake.

They eventually reached the Corvette and John sealed the airlock door. "That should hold them for a few minutes" he said, before turning back to Alyssa and the crewwoman, who was leaning against the wall, labouring for breath.

John studied the crewwoman for a moment. She was favouring her left side, making him think she might have some broken ribs.

"Come on, we need some supplies from medical" He stated, before moving forward to gently scoop up the crewwoman in his arms. She moaned into his chest as they headed to the medical bay at a brisk walk.

"Grab that trauma kit please Alyssa" he asked his young companion, when they swung into medical. The teenager darted over to grab the satchel of medical supplies, which she slung over a shoulder. She also grabbed a half opened doctor's bag in her free hand, whilst carrying the shotgun in the other.

John led the way back to the Fool's Gold and they just arrived at the interconnecting airlock when the dull rumble of an explosion reached their ears.

"They must have blown the other airlock" John guessed. "Time to leave". 

The trio entered his freighter and he set the wounded crewwoman on her feet, steadying her with one arm. He hit the button on the airlock to seal the door before turning to Alyssa "Help her to the passenger cabin, I need to get us out of here!".

Alyssa moved forward to help the woman as John raced off to the cockpit. He stabbed the button that would disengage the docking clamps and their freighter drifted free, uncoupled from the Corvette. He brought up engine power and the Fool's Gold blasted away into the blackness of space.

John strode into the passenger cabin to see what he could do to help the injured woman. The woman was sitting on the edge of the bed, being supported by Alyssa. John moved closer to see the extent of her injuries. She had deep lacerations on her back, probably from a whip. He gently touched the side of her torso, causing her to gasp in pain, confirming his suspicions about the broken ribs. Finally she had a broken nose and two newly forming black eyes where some evil pirate had smacked her in the face.




Three Square Meals Ch. 05



John crouched in front of the woman, looking under her shroud of dark hair into her pain dulled brown eyes. "My name's John, this is Alyssa" he nodded to his companion. "You're safe now, no-one will hurt you again" The woman began to weep softly, overcome with emotion. 

"What's your name?" He asked gently. 

"Calara Fernandez" the woman replied between broken sobs.

"Ok Calara, we'll clean you up and treat these injuries" he explained comfortingly. The traumatised woman could only nod her acceptance. 

John and Alyssa worked on Calara for the next hour, stripping off her torn clothing and cleaning and disinfecting her wounds. John gave her a strong sedative that put the woman into a deep, restful slumber. 

They left her dozing, lying front down on the bed and backed quietly out of the room.

"She needs medical treatment and I'm only really qualified in combat first aid" John whispered. "We need to get her to a Terran Federation facility. If I give you the location, could you plot the course?" He asked his young companion. 

"Of course John" Alyssa replied. They walked into the cockpit and Alyssa plotted the route to Port Heracles in the Nerus system. The Navi-computer provided an ETA of 2 days.

The exhausted pair then headed to their cabin to strip off their armour and get cleaned up. John placed the rifle and shotgun back in the weapons locker as Alyssa removed the last of her combat gear and headed to the shower. Unbuckling and unzipping his armour, John eventually followed the teenager to the shower cubicle. He found her standing under the hot shower, her arms around her shoulders as her body shivered violently.

"It's your body reacting to the adrenalin" He explained, as he wrapped his arms around the beautiful young woman. He held her comfortingly and the pair let the soothing streams of water wash over them, cleansing them of the days events.

"Why can men be such utter bastards?" the troubled teenager looked up at him, searching for answers in his calm gaze. 

"Not all men are like that" he replied.

"I know" she smiled at him, reaching up to stroke his face with her delicate hand before kissing him softly.

They left the shower, dried themselves off and collapsed on the big bed. After what happened today, neither of them was feeling at all amorous, so they soon dropped off into a comforting sleep.

John checked on his injured passenger a couple of times during the night, but she slept on under the blissful haze of the sedative. He eventually awoke to find his head resting on Alyssa's lovely, yielding chest, her skin feeling soft and smooth against his cheek. She ran her fingers through his hair, stroking his head comfortingly. He lay there for a while, listening to her strong heartbeat and getting an up close view of the bruise on her chest where she had taken the hit from the pirates bullet. It looked like it hadn't been as bad as he feared, the light purple bruising already beginning to fade.

He leaned up on one elbow so that he was looking down over the young beauty sharing his bed. Her beautiful face looked up at him from the golden halo spread on the pillow, her lovely blue eyes watching his face. He leaned down to kiss her, feeling her lips form a smile before she kissed him back.

"You were brilliant out there yesterday" he commended the teenager. "I've seen people buckle under the stress of combat, but you handled yourself like a pro" he went on, sincere admiration ringing in his voice. "We saved that woman's life, you should feel proud of yourself".

Alyssa grinned up at him, glowing with his praise. "It feels awesome knowing we helped someone like that" she smiled happily.

John moved in for another kiss and they made out for a couple of minutes, before her small hands pushed him insistently on to his back. Alyssa rolled with him until she was straddling him, looking down imperiously from her high perch. She leaned down to kiss him again, her full round breasts felt warm and firm as they touched his chest. John returned the kisses from the beautiful young woman, enjoying the feel of her lustrous blonde hair as it gently brushed his cheeks.

The girl moved her head to the side so that her full lips were only millimetres from his ear. He could feel her soft breath tickling him, which sent shivers down his body.

"You saved my life yesterday as well John. In some cultures that means you own me now..." she whispered to him seductively. "What can I do to please my new master?" she purred into his ear.

John's arms encircled her youthful toned body as he tilted his head towards her, searching for her lips. Alyssa moved her head back so that she was directly above him again and locked eyes with his as they kissed passionately. It felt like he was looking into her soul, as those piercing blue eyes held his gaze. The girl's dilated pupils were like two black holes, and they pulled him in with their inescapable grasp. He had never felt this connected to another person before and the feeling was intense, even if slightly unsettling.

She eventually had mercy, blinking slowly and breaking that connection. She moved downwards, trailing kisses along his jawline. He tilted his head back, exposing his throat trustingly, which was rewarded with more gentle kisses along his neck. She moved further down his body, kissing his broad chest, her tongue flickering out now and again to taste his skin. John's body felt hyper sensitive as he awaited each kiss on her exploratory journey.

The beautiful teenager trailed kisses across his stomach down to his groin, her silky blonde hair brushing over his body as it followed in her wake. Alyssa began to kiss and then lick each of his balls in turn, each one feeling full and primed. Her soft lips promised sweet relief to his swollen orbs and he could only groan in pleasure as her tongue gently massaged each bloated sphere.

Those lovely lips began to plant kisses at the base of his shaft, before working their way up to the head. Her lips parted and her tongue darted out to swab the throbbing crown. Pre-cum had begun to build up and the beautiful girl sucked and licked him to try and obtain more, until she eventually opened her mouth into a wide oval and enveloped his head. John could only stare wide eyed as her velvety smooth tongue glided over him, easing the way for her to take the rest of him inside her throat. 

The girl was well experienced with his equipment by now and her lips were soon encircling the base of his cock as her slender neck massaged his length in a tight grip. Alyssa began to swallow repeatedly, the muscles rippling along his cock, feeling like he was being stroked by a dozen eager young hands. John grasped the beautiful girl's head, groaning at the unexpected and incredible sensations he was experiencing.

"Mmmmmm" Alyssa moaned in satisfaction, enjoying the feeling of being controlled by him. 

John could only gasp and writhe as the young woman's throat rippled around him, her heated moans adding more vibrations to the coaxing massage. Eventually it became too much for him to resist and his body trembled with anticipation as he balls rumbled in preparation to deliver their cargo.

"Unnhhhhh!" John grunted wordlessly as a ball shaking orgasm overtook him. A long, heavy spurt of cum blasted up his shaft and then down into the kneeling teenagers belly. This was rapidly joined by dozens more protein rich surges of spunk, all settling in the welcoming home of Alyssa's stomach. The submissive teenager's waiting tummy soon rounded out, the strong muscles in her abdomen unable to prevent her belly from expanding from the gut-busting meal John was feeding her. This triggered a matching orgasm in the quivering teenager and her pussy spasmed strongly as she came hard.

Eventually he was spent and he lolled back on the bed, sighing with deep satisfaction. Alyssa sat up and stroked her bloated stomach, with a happy, contented grin on her face. The heavy, sperm laden meal in her belly felt warm and filling and she loved seeing the look of happiness on John's face.

Alyssa noticed movement from the doorway out of the corner of her eye and turned to see they had a silent observer. Calara had awoken from her long sleep and hearing noises had come to investigate. When she saw the beautiful blonde pleasuring her handsome partner, she turned away from the doorway to give them their privacy. Something drew her back however and she couldn't help but peek around the corner to watch the explosive climax. 

Alyssa made eye contact with the voyeuristic latina, who blushed furiously when she realised she had been spotted. Alyssa smiled reassuringly at Calara, before the brunette was overcome with embarrassment and darted back to the passenger cabin. The blonde giggled to herself quietly before lying down next to John.

"I think I heard Calara stirring" the mischievous teenager said. "Do you want me to go check on her?" she asked John.

"No, it's ok, I'll do it." John offered. "You just relax. You earned it, that was sexy as hell!" He kissed the grinning girl enthusiastically before getting dressed in combat trousers and a t-shirt.

John left the cabin with a lightness in his step, not just from emptying the heavy load in his balls into the receptive teens belly.

"Ahh you're awake" he said to Calara, as he strolled into the passenger cabin and found her lying on her side facing away from him. He touched her shoulder gently as he looked at the vicious weals and lacerations on her olive skinned back. "Those look very painful, would you like some more painkillers?" He asked the injured woman kindly. Calara was too embarrassed to look John in the eye, so she just nodded.

John filled up a glass with chilled, ice cold water from the nearby dispenser and then gathered a couple of strong painkillers from the trauma kit. "There you go" he said, as he handed over the drink and meds. 

Calara sat upright, wincing at the sharp pain in her ribs and the dull throb from her back. Even her face hurt from the punch that fucker had given her, when she had tried to plead for the lives of her friends. A bleak sadness descended on the young woman as she recalled some of the horrible events from the previous day. She swallowed the painkillers with the aid of the chilled water, which sent shivers down her spine as it soothed her parched throat. She finished off the rest of the glass, having not realised just how thirsty she had been. She handed the glass back to John before curling up on her side as the quick acting painkillers lulled her into the sweet oblivion of sleep. John left the young woman to rest and headed back to check on their progress to Port Heracles. 

The next day was uneventful, with John showing Alyssa how to clean and check over their combat gear which they had been too tired to do the night before. Calara slept for the rest of their journey and only stirred when they had docked at the Terran Starport and the medical team from Port Heracles were moving her to a stretcher. Her eyes flickered open as she was fastened to the anti-grav sled and she looked up at her two rescuers. 

"Thank you for saving me..." She said quietly as she looked at Alyssa and John in turn. John smiled back reassuringly and Alyssa leaned forward to plant a kiss on her cheek "You're welcome!" the beautiful blonde said with a dazzling smile, her perfect white teeth sparkling in the light.

The medical team whisked her away to intensive care, leaving John and Alyssa to watch them depart. 

"I hope she'll be ok" Alyssa said, worried about the young woman.

"They have excellent medical facilities here" John said reassuringly. "You can stay in contact with her via vid-feed as well if you want" he suggested helpfully.

Alyssa leaned up to plant a warm kiss on his lips and walked back to their cabin, an alluring sway to her hips. She paused at the doorway and looked over her shoulder to make sure she had his full attention, before running her hands over her hips and posing her deliciously firm ass invitingly. She strutted into their room as if daring him to follow.

John realised his mouth was hanging open and he closed it self-consciously. He walked down the corridor to their room, anticipation rising in time with his rapidly growing cock. He paused for a moment to steady his breathing before he stepped into the cabin to see what the adventurous young woman had in store for him now.

Alyssa had wasted no time, stripping out of the bodysuit which lay in a crumpled pile on the floor. She was kneeling on the edge of the bed, looking over her right shoulder at him, her knees spread wide and her back arched.

"Fancy taking me for a ride?" She challenged him, her eyes glancing down over her shoulder to her uptilted ass. John followed that glance and saw that between the perfectly rounded spheres of her bottom, her waiting rosebud was glistening where she had spread lubricant. The prepared teenager watched him with a knowing smile on her face as he strode forward purposefully, stripping off his clothes.

He moved up to the bed, her delightfully presented rear waiting at just the right height as she knelt before him. He reached forward to gather her tousled blonde mane in his left hand, whilst resting his heavy right hand on the taut rounded flesh of her right buttock. He held her firmly in place as he tilted his hips so that the blunt head of his throbbing tool slid between the tanned cheeks of her ass, the passage made easier with the slippery lubricant. He nudged up against her tightly clenched rosebud.

"There's a good girl" he said, as though calming a fine thoroughbred. 

The beautiful teenager deliberately relaxed her tense posture, letting her body yield to the insistent pressure she felt against her ass. She bit her lower lip, her eyes closed in concentration as he used his unrelenting grip on her hip to pull her on to him. The tight ring of her anus was forced wide open as he pushed his broad mushroom head inside her body.

"That's right, you're doing so well" he encouraged in that same soothing tone.

John's hips flexed forward as he used his tight purchase on her hip to pull her back towards his groin. The slippery lubricant let him glide forward, inch after inch sliding deeper into her yielding body until her tight little hole was gripping the base of his shaft.

"Yessss!" Alyssa hissed as he impaled her with his entire length. 

She gasped as he clenched her hair tightly in his fist and used it to pull her head back towards his chest, arching her back into a beautiful curve.

"That's a good girl" he whispered in her ear, as his cock flexed deep inside her tightly stretched ass. "Let's ride you hard and see if we can burn off some of that energy"

Alyssa gasped with excitement, which then turned into a long drawn out moan of pleasure as he slowly withdrew his prick until only the head was left inside her. He then thrust forward again, burying his full throbbing hardness into her, whilst holding her firmly in place with the heavy grip of his right hand. 

John picked up the pace, driving his rock hard shaft in and out of the girls clutching ass as her rounded buttocks shook with the impact. His broad girth had spread her tightly clutching ring wide open and she felt exposed and stuffed full at the same time.

"Unh, Unh, unh" She moaned with each thrust, feeling his cock penetrating deep inside her. John was being so dominant and the relentless pounding of her firm young body was driving her crazy with passion.

Suddenly John stopped his thrusting and paused, fully impaled up to the balls in the panting girl. 

"Now hold on there a minute. This steed isn't bearing my brand!" He caressed the soft smooth skin of her right buttock tenderly with his hand.

"Yessss! Do it!" She urged, looking back at him over her shoulder her face contorted with lust.

John brought back his right arm before swinging it down in a powerful arc.

"Smackkkk!"

The sound of the ringing slap as it landed on her rump echoed around the room loudly. 

"Oh fuck!!!" Alyssa shrieked as she came explosively, the tingling skin where he had spanked her overloading her senses. John held her tight as her body convulsed underneath him, her ass clenching around the length of his cock in rhythmic contractions.

He held her close, pulling her back against his chest as she trembled against him. He stroked her sensitive right buttock as the glowing red hand print formed on her beautiful rounded cheek.

"That's much better. Now everyone knows who owns this fine filly"

Alyssa could only groan in response as he began to flex his hips again, his swollen cock inching back and forth inside her ass.

"A gallop to the finish ought to do it!" He declared, before increasing the length of his backstroke and thrusting powerfully into the gasping young woman.

John played a lustful tune using Alyssa's body as his instrument. Her grunts and moans accompanied the steady beat of her buttocks slapping against his groin. He fucked her hard and long, drawing out a series of gut wrenching orgasms from her before he finally pulled her tight to his chest. The girl's back was arched towards him like a taut bow as he pummelled her toned ass cheeks.

"Unnnhhhh!" He grunted loudly as he could hold back no longer. His painfully swollen balls raised up and a long, powerful spurt of cum shot out of him and into the tight confines of her bowels. Alyssa screamed as she came as well, the hot cum blasting into her belly. 

John's right hand moved upwards instinctively to rest on the girls stomach as his driving cock pumped his cum into her. He could feel each surge of spunk as it was forced into her trembling tummy, her slim waistline quickly expanding to make room for the burgeoning weight of his load. Eventually his mighty climax abated and John held Alyssa in a tight embrace, to stop the nearly comatose teenager from collapsing. His cock began to deflate and he eased out of her slippery passage, her sphincter closing up tightly behind him, holding in his precious cargo. He laid her gently on the bed and flopped down behind her, too exhausted to do anything except draw breath.

Alyssa gradually regained full consciousness and rolled over on her spunk bloated belly to look at him. 

"I look like I'm about to have a foal" She grinned at him.

John laughed loudly in response and Alyssa joined in. "I'll be back in a minute" she smirked at him, as she got up and headed to the bathroom. 

John watched her as she walked away, enjoying seeing the toned muscles in her back, her skin glistening with perspiration. You would never know she carried such a gravid weight in front of her from looking at her svelte figure from behind. She turned to look at him before disappearing from view, her side profile looked obscene with her hugely bloated belly leading the way.

The gorgeous teenager eventually reappeared and she prowled gracefully towards him before joining him on the bed, cuddling up at his side her stomach now back to normal. As he held her in his arms, he looked down to see his glowing hand print emblazoned on her otherwise perfect ass cheek. His body tensed in response. Alyssa felt his reaction and followed his gaze down to her bottom.

"Hey, relax! It's ok. That was fucking hot!" She calmed him reassuringly. "Besides, I like bearing your mark" she murmured contentedly.

John shook his head in disbelief. "You're an amazing woman Alyssa, do I ever tell you that?"

"Usually a couple of times a day..." the beautiful teenager giggled in reply. She leaned over him to look him in the eyes, her hair brushing his chest softly, "...but it's always good to hear". She smiled as she kissed him tenderly as a reward.

The following week passed swiftly. Alyssa seemed to be spending more and more time together with John and he couldn't recall ever getting on so well with another person before. They worked together on any tasks he deemed necessary, the enthusiastic young girl working perfectly in synergy with him. Their normal activities were only broken by mealtimes, which usually meant the beautiful teenager on her knees between his legs, sucking eagerly on his cock. He lost count of the times he rounded out her lovely toned belly, but she savoured every meal, licking her lips and stroking her full stomach contentedly.

Calara contacted them by vid-feed after a couple of days and after some initial shyness, she chattered away with Alyssa as though the two were best friends. The Port Heracles medical team had decided that she didn't need surgery, but she was recovering in hospital there under their careful supervision. 

The troubled young woman admitted that she had been having trouble sleeping, her dreams quickly turning into nightmares as she relived the traumatic events of her capture. She seemed to be making good progress with her physical recovery, but it was clear to John that Calara was suffering from PTSD. Alyssa and John did their best to cheer her up and promised to speak regularly. Vid-feed calls soon became part of their routine and they spoke frequently in the final leg of their journey.

Eventually the Fool's Gold arrived at Alpha Centauri, home of Olympus Shipyard, John's final destination after all this time. The Olympus shipyard was the centre of Terran Federation power, the drydocks there constructing the biggest and most powerful spacecraft in this quadrant of the galaxy. This mighty spaceport sat in high orbit around Alpha Centauri B, or the planet Gravitus as it was known to locals.

John sat in the pilot's chair as he watched Alyssa plot their approach to the Olympus shipyard. He couldn't believe their journey together was nearly over. He studied the girl who had stowed away on his ship four weeks ago.

The stunningly attractive teenager was concentrating intensely on the console in front of her, her head tilted slightly to the side. He looked up and down her gorgeous body, drinking in every exquisite detail of the ravishing young beauty before him. She wasn't just the most physically beautiful woman he had ever met, he also loved her intelligence, her fun personality, her enthusiasm and her zest for life. 

Yes, he did love her he suddenly realised. How was he ever going to let her go? His heart caught in his throat at the thought of this incredible young woman walking out of his life. He realised he would be bereft without her. 

Then there was the age gap though, he was old enough to be her father for god's sake! John berated himself. The girl was a genius with a blazingly bright future ahead of her. Her First Class Navigator's license that she had earned so effortlessly was her ticket to a comfortable life filled with adventure. He couldn't be so selfish as to deprive the young girl of that. A black depression took hold of him as he realised he loved her too much to hold her back. He would have to let her go. 

The abrupt realisation that he had to do the right thing brought tears to John's eyes. He turned to the girl he now realised was his soul-mate and tried to mentally prepare himself to let her go. It was the hardest thing he had ever had to do.



Three Square Meals Ch. 06



Alyssa sat in the Co-pilots chair, plotting the course to Olympus shipyard. She was reflecting to herself on the remarkable recent turn of events. Of course, there was all that business with her body changing so dramatically, her new boobs being a constant source of delight. However, there was something else that she had been finding far more surreal. She had begun to hear voices. 

It had started off innocuously enough, a week or so after she had been forced to escape from Karron and John had found her on board his ship. He had asked her to become a First Class Navigator in a roundabout sort of a way, so she had thrown herself into his request with gusto. She had been studying in her free time and then meeting up for "mealtimes" with the handsome Captain. 

She loved kneeling in front of him, servicing his massive cock and encouraging him to unload his sweet tasting cum into her eagerly awaiting stomach. She had grown to adore his "quad" and the way he filled her to the brim after every orgasm. She hadn't felt hungry once since they had made their agreement and for someone who had lived on the borderline of starvation for most of her life, that was a big deal. She did wonder if she should vary her nutrition a bit, but she felt charged with energy and her body seemed to be thriving on the high protein diet. 

As well as the contentedly full feeling in her stomach, she almost seemed to sense his pleasure when he exploded in her mouth. At first she had dismissed it, but she had then become so in tune with the man, that his orgasms would trigger her own. Eventually she had started to pick up other emotions as well, not just when she was pleasuring him. When she had shown him her newly acquired Navigators ID, the bewildering onslaught of emotions she had sensed from him had been almost overwhelming.

Just after they had rescued Calara she had begun to hear the voices. Well more specifically, one voice. It was like hearing little snippets of conversation at random times. At the start, she had wondered if she were going mad, but the voice was calm and kind which put her at ease. Most of the time the disembodied voice was saying lovely things about her and that was when she first noticed that she only heard it when John was exploring her body with his eyes. She had put two and two together and with some bewilderment, realised it was his inner voice she was tuning in to.

She sighed happily. It felt amazing to be so lusted after by the handsome man. She had entered their agreement hesitantly to start, but he was just so kind and gentle with her, that she had begun to develop strong feelings for him. When he told her he was proud of her, it felt like her heart would burst she had been so overjoyed. She found herself doing little things to please him any chance she had and his earnest gratitude was tremendously rewarding. 

Alyssa had spent the last week trying to spend as much time with him as possible, surreptitiously listening in to his inner monologue whenever she could. It was difficult not to react to some of the things he thought, but she was developing quite the poker face. She figured it was prudent to keep this little secret to herself. Besides, what woman wouldn't want to be able read her man's thoughts without him knowing it!

Sitting in the cockpit when they arrived at Alpha Centauri, she had quickly plotted their course to Olympus station. She then pretended to be focused on the console as she tuned in to John's thoughts, her head tilted slightly to the side. 

*She's so beautiful* John thought happily. *It's not just that she's totally gorgeous, I love that she's so intelligent and fun to be with...* he mused.

Alyssa had to fight hard not to grin like an idiot to be held in such high regard. 

*I'm in love with her!* John suddenly realised to himself.

Alyssa's heart sang and she wanted to leap into his arms and declare how much she returned his feelings.

Unfortunately his thoughts suddenly took a dark turn. 

*I'm old enough to be her father for god's sake!* John berated himself.

Old enough to be her father? Alyssa wondered. He only looked to be around 30 or so, which got Alyssa curious to know exactly how old he was.

*She's a genius with a First Class Navigator's license. She's got a bright future ahead, you can't ruin that by trying to get her to stay* John thought to himself, getting increasingly depressed.

Now he was thinking about getting her to leave his ship for her own good?! Didn't he understand she had only been half joking when she said that he owned her? Any thought of being away from him felt gut wrenchingly miserable and her mind shied away from it instinctively. No, she needed to nip this in the bud right now!

John turned towards Alyssa, his face set in a grim expression, his eyes welling with tears. He opened his mouth to speak, but she cut him off abruptly.

"Well our journey is nearly at an end, perhaps we should have a chat about our arrangement?" Alyssa said, smiling warmly at him.

"Of course" John replied, his face a mask of barely concealed pain. "You'll have your choice of ships you could sign up with."

Her musical laughter filled the cockpit "Other ships? Why would I want to leave? I've never been happier!" Her full lips formed an outrageous pout "Unless you don't want me here any more?"

"No, of course I do, you're amazing!" John reacted instinctively before remembering he was trying to be noble. "You have your whole life ahead of you though, why would you want to saddle yourself with an older guy like me?"

Alyssa slowly rose and walked gracefully towards him before sitting in his lap. She cupped his face in her hands and looked deep into his eyes "I feel safe, valued and cared for and that's all thanks to you" She paused to watch the hope spreading across his face. "I love you and I can't imagine us being apart!" 

John encased the earnest teenager in a fierce hug. "I love you too!" he declared, all thoughts of being noble abandoned. 

The couple kissed passionately, losing track of time. Revealing the extent of their feelings for each other was such a relief and they revelled in their new found sense of contentment. They eventually separated to stare at each other, drinking in each other's happiness, huge grins on their faces.

"I would like a promotion though..." Alyssa grinned mischievously.

"Oh really?" John smiled back, intrigued.

"I think I've outgrown the cumbucket role, I'd like something that will stretch me more" She informed him archly.

John laughed at her lewd comments. "I do enjoy stretching you" he agreed wholeheartedly. "So what did you have in mind?"

I was thinking "Executive Officer" Alyssa replied, beaming happily. "The XO is second-in-command and helps lighten the Commanders load, so he can focus on the important things" she explained helpfully.

John doubled over with laughter. "You're hired!" He gasped out between chuckles.

"You won't regret it" Alyssa purred seductively, moving smoothly to her knees between his legs.

John gasped as the beautiful teenager began to show him just how seriously she took her new role. He looked down at the poised and elegant young woman as she tilted forward, inch after inch of his throbbing cock disappeared into her mouth, until she finally touched her nose to his stomach. Her movements were fluid and graceful as she stroked him back and forth using the muscular grip of her tight throat. Her full lips seemed to be kissing him as they sucked at the base of his shaft, her mouth spread obscenely wide by his girth. He marvelled at the incredible control she had over her body.

This was his life from now on, John suddenly realised. This stunningly gorgeous young woman was his to use whenever he wanted. He really was the luckiest son of a bitch in the galaxy! Alyssa looked up at him lovingly as she used every trick she possessed to heighten his pleasure. Her velvety soft tongue seemed to dance along the base of his cock, licking and caressing, coaxing him closer to climax.

Eventually she closed her eyes and just bobbed her head in his lap, keeping up a relentless sucking rhythm. John held her blonde head in his hands as his hips made tiny thrusting movements as though trying to fit more of his length down her throat. He was already fully sheathed however, so he was just thrusting away at her soft pliant lips.

"Unh, unh, unh!" He moaned as he fucked her beautiful face. The warm suckling sensation surrounding his cock was relentless and irresistible and eventually he could only succumb to her talents.

"Ahhhhhhh!" he gasped with relief as the titanic climax washed over him. His balls seem to clench then flex powerfully as the cum blasted out of his cock to reward the girl for her efforts.

Alyssa's eyes flew open when her tongue felt the first long spurt of cum rocketing down his shaft, his length jerking in her throat. She could feel her stomach rapidly filling up, blowing outwards as she provided a warm home for his eager legion of sperm. She could feel John's senses being overwhelmed by his orgasm, triggering a wave of ecstasy to flood over her.

"Mmmpphhhh!" She squealed as her own body responded automatically, her cries muffled by the mighty cock throbbing in her throat. Her pussy flexed and her thighs trembled uncontrollably as she experienced an explosive climax. 

John sank back in his chair, all tension having left his body. His balls felt satisfyingly numb and his satiated cock slid out of Alyssa's mouth, receiving a farewell kiss as it left her lips.

"Ahh, I love blowjobs" They both thought at the same time, as they shared the same sigh of contentment. Alyssa had to use every ounce of willpower not to giggle uncontrollably.

John offered her a hand and the ravishing young blonde rose effortlessly to her feet, before snuggling into his lap. He watched her proud firm breasts rising and falling as she took in deep breaths, the movement hypnotising. He took in the acres of tanned unblemished skin on her spunk swollen stomach, marvelling that her malleable body could handle such a prodigious load. Her gravid form made him think to the future and he suddenly knew instinctively that this gorgeous young woman would be carrying his baby in her belly someday. He stroked her tummy possessively, his strong hand caressing her gently. Alyssa's delicate hand moved up to rest lightly on his.

He sighed happily as he looked at the beautiful teenager's face, her expression doe-eyed as she met his gaze. They cuddled together comfortably, watching the glittering stars in the endless blackness spread out before them.

The blissfully happy couple relaxed together for a few hours, enjoying the peaceful tranquillity as the Fool's Gold made its inexorable progress to Olympus Shipyard. Eventually the insistent buzz of the intercom broke their reverie. John pushed a button on the console to receive the communication.

"Incoming freighter, please identify yourself and your business at Olympus" a military communications officer requested politely.

"John Blake on the Fool's Gold to see Captain Harris" he replied confidently.

There followed a drawn out pause before the officer replied. "Please approach docking bay 47 Commander, Vice Admiral Harris will meet you there."

"Well okay then!" John grinned at Alyssa.

She smiled back at him, delighting in his buoyant and happy mood. The two retired to their cabin to shower and get dressed. 

Alyssa zipped herself into the body suit that John had loaned her as he got dressed in his standard combat trousers and T-shirt. He took in her beautiful curves, the bodysuit not leaving much to the imagination. He reached over into his wardrobe and threw her his flight jacket. She caught it deftly and raised an eyebrow.

"I don't want to have to fight off the station's compliment of randy marines!" he joked.

Alyssa laughed and posed for him, the jacket doing little to hide her lovely toned legs and pert rounded ass.

"I think a shopping trip might be in order" John laughed.

Alyssa clapped excitedly and bounded up to him. "Really? We can go shopping on the station?"

"Well not so much at the station, but the planet below has loads of retail zones" He clarified.

Alyssa practically skipped at his side as they went back to the cockpit, John smiling at her boundless enthusiasm. They sat waiting patiently as they began the final approach to Olympus station and their designated docking bay. They passed massive Battlecruisers and Dreadnoughts on the way into the port, their freighter appearing tiny and insignificant next to these titans of interstellar space.

Alyssa sat in awe. She had never dreamed that anything man-made could be so vast. The gun barrels on some of those cannons were bigger than their ship!

"Impressive, aren't they?" John pointed towards the pride of the Terran Federation fleet.

Alyssa could only nod her agreement.

"It doesn't feel quite the same when you're fighting something that size though..." He paused, suddenly overcome with memories from what seemed like a lifetime ago.

Fear, pain, loss... emotions spiralled over their empathic link and Alyssa quickly moved to John's side, leaning down to kiss him. Her distracting presence broke his introspection and his mood lifted immediately. He kissed her back before he noticed that the ship had entered the docking bay and was about to touch down.

"Oops, we better go! Don't want to leave our welcoming committee waiting!" he smiled at his young shipmate.

They walked quickly to the cargo bay, feeling a tremor through the ship as it landed at the shipyard. John pressed a button on the wall mounted console and the airlock spiralled open, the servos in the door whirring in eagerness to perform their task. The couple stepped out of the freighter into the huge cargo bay, the extensive floor lighting illuminating their surroundings in a warm glow. 

A young naval officer approached them quickly. 

"Commander Blake, the Vice Admiral sends his apologies, he's in a meeting at the moment. If you would like to follow me, I'll lead you to his office."

John nodded his assent and they followed the navy officer as he led them through a series of corridors before ushering them into a reception room. He walked briskly to a desk, pushing a button on the intercom. "Vice Admiral, the Commander is here to see you." 

There was no reply and then a door on the other side of the room opened. A uniformed figure strolled over to meet them and Alyssa studied him as he approached. He was a man in his mid to late 50's she guessed, his stern face sporting a bushy grey moustache. 

"Vice Admiral" John saluted the man, his face showing a wry grin.

The man laughed and returned the salute "Commander Blake! It's good to see you, how long has it been?" The man's stern face relaxed into a warm smile.

"Retired 11 years now" John replied as he shook his old friends hand vigorously.

"Sorry I couldn't come to meet you personally, damnable meeting overran" The Vice Admiral apologised. .".. and who is this lovely young lady?" The older man enquired, his hawk like eyes locking on Alyssa.

"This is Alyssa Marant, my Executive Officer" John grinned happily.

He turned to his beautiful companion. "This is Vice Admiral Charles Harris, we served together a long time ago."

"Call me Charles, please" John's old colleague shook Alyssa's hand, smiling at her cordially.

"Nice to meet you Charles" the slightly intimidated teenager replied.

"Civilian life seems to be treating you well John" The perceptive older man looked at his friend speculatively.

"Come join me in my office and let's catch up" Charles offered, leading the way. They followed him into his office and sat down in comfortable leather seats surrounding a coffee table. The seats were placed in a semi-circle facing a huge window that overlooked the incoming and outgoing traffic of the starport.

"That's one hell of a view Charles" John said, watching a massive Terran Federation Carrier as it slowly made its way to the Nav beacon.

"Isn't it just" Charles replied. "Now tell me John, what brings you to see me after all this time? I can't imagine you came all this way just to relive old war stories" He smiled good naturedly.

John turned to look back at his old friend. "Tyrenium... 10 tons of it."

Charles looked startled before he whistled appreciatively. "Civilian life really has been good to you John."

John glanced at Alyssa, before nodding emphatically.

Charles tapped his chin thoughtfully. "I'll take the whole cargo if you're willing, just name your price."

"250 million credits" John replied without pause. 

"Holy fuck!" Alyssa squeaked.

Charles ignored the teenagers outburst and studied John shrewdly "Done. You know very well this conflict with the Kintark has the T-Fed over a barrel, don't you?"

John smiled and shrugged his shoulders, his hands spread, palms outward. "A man's got to make a living."

Charles laughed, shaking his head. The two men shook hands to seal the deal. "Congratulations John, you can retire for real now" Charles said, genuinely pleased to see an old war buddy do so well for himself. John grinned back at his old friend. 

Meanwhile Alyssa sat wide eyed, stunned at the insane sums of money these two men were discussing so casually. She thought back to her previous life of abject poverty, the years of scraping around for the odd couple of credits here or there. The sometimes horrible things she had had to do just to get by. Now here she was, listening to a deal for a few tons of rock that was worth more than the whole hollowed out asteroid she had grown up in. For this kind of money, you could buy the entire place and still have enough pocket change to feed its inhabitants for a lifetime.

John and Charles chatted amiably for a while, leaving Alyssa lost in her thoughts. 

"How do you want the money John?" Charles asked. "Credit transfer ok I presume?"

John nodded agreeably as he finished the glass of whiskey his old commanding officer had poured for him. The two men stood to shake hands once more, making promises to stay in touch.

John placed his hand on Alyssa's shoulder, gently rousing her from her thoughts. "Time to go" he said quietly. Alyssa stood to join him and the pair turned to leave the office.

"Before you go John" Charles voice called out from behind him "I thought you might be interested. The Invictus has been decommissioned, I'll be putting her up for auction soon."

John stood frozen, half turned towards his old friend.

"She'd make one hell of a fine ship for a wealthy young trader" Charles smiled. "It would be nice to see the old girl staying in the family so to speak."

"What's the Invictus?" Alyssa asked her handsome friend, puzzled that it should stir up such strong emotions in the man.

John was lost in his thoughts, his mind turning over the possibilities. 

Seeing that John was distracted, Charles answered for him. "It's our old ship, Alyssa. I was transferred to the bridge crew back in oh... 2748. John joined the Ship's Marine company 9 years later. I eventually made Captain and John retired after 10 years service on her."

Alyssa nodded her thanks for his explanation.

"Why is she being decommissioned?" John asked.

"T-Fed Navy has changed its doctrines since you served John. It's all about dropships on Carriers now." Charles replied, rolling his eyes. "There's no place for Assault Cruisers in the new Fleet"

John was shaking his head. "She's too big, what am I going to do with all that space? Besides, there's only the two of us, how could we crew her?"

Charles waved his friend over to his desk as he pushed a couple of buttons on his console. The lights in the office dimmed slightly and a large holographic display of a spacecraft sprung into being in the centre of the room.




Three Square Meals Ch. 06



The Invictus was a sleek and ferocious looking ship. Alyssa shivered slightly at its intimidating profile, the top deck bristling with weaponry. Charles zoomed in the display so that now they were looking at the ship's internals. From what she could tell, this Assault Cruiser was easily 10 times bigger than John's current freighter.

"You could upgrade the engines and FTL drive, using this extra space here" The admiral pointed animatedly at the rear of the ship. "You also won't need the barracks, so you could turn this area of the ship into a cargo bay" He gestured excitedly at the holographic map. "I'd keep the docking bay for a shuttle in case you need to land somewhere the Invictus is too big to dock at."

"You're still on the books right?" Charles asked John. John glanced Alyssa's way and nodded. "Great!" enthused Charles "That means we can keep the gun decks unchanged!"

Alyssa suddenly realised this was a pet project for Charles. Perhaps he had speculated on what he would do with the ship if he had ever been in John's current situation. It was funny to see the mid-50's Vice Admiral behaving like an enthusiastic schoolboy. She managed to keep a straight face.

"What about crew?" John asked.

Charles waved his hand dismissively "Automation will take care of that."

"Ok I'm interested" John replied cautiously "Just how much does a Terran Federation Assault Cruiser go for nowadays?"

"Well I can pull a few strings for an old friend" Charles grinned "Besides, not having to decommission all the weapons will save the shipyard a fortune" he went on conspiratorially.

John waited, patiently.

"Call it 150 mil. Most of that will be covering the new parts and retrofitting costs"

John's face spread into a big grin, matching that of the Vice Admiral.

"Wow, he's actually going for it" Alyssa thought to herself. "Boys and their toys!" she smiled, unable to resist the eye roll. She looked back at the men to see they were shaking hands vigorously, grinning like maniacs.

They left the office, John bouncing along with a spring in his step as they walked back to the Fool's Gold. Charles had volunteered to start the retrofitting work immediately and had promised they would get everything completed in a week. 

The navy munitions team had unloaded the Tyrenium the moment the deal had been struck, so it was strange to see the cargo hold looking so empty when they had boarded the freighter. The couple entered the cockpit, taking their usual seats. John was humming happily to himself as Alyssa rotated her co-pilots chair to face him.

"So what's the plan now?" Alyssa asked curiously.

"Well I did promise you a shopping trip" John smiled at her as he entered the course to take them down to Gravitus, the planet they were currently orbiting. The freighter's engines ignited with a shudder and the ship lifted off.

Alyssa clapped her hands excitedly. "I doubt I can top your spending spree though... 150 million credits in one morning! That's got to be some kind of record!"

John grinned, excited at the prospect of owning his old military vessel.

"Commander John Blake, proud owner of the Invictus" She stated, emphasising his rank.

John smiled at the teenager "Ah, I wondered if you had picked up on that. It's my old naval rank before I retired."

"Retired?" She asked pointedly, her eyebrow arched.

John was momentarily startled before he replied honestly "I sometimes forget just how perceptive and intelligent you are."

Alyssa smiled at the compliment.

"Ok I'm officially retired, but I still hold my rank and still assist the Terran Federation from time to time." He paused, thinking of the best way to describe his situation. "Think of me as a Special Ops consultant. I help out occasionally, like the rescue the other day. In exchange, I hold a military grade weapons license and get access to a few handy gadgets" John explained.

"Like the chrome device you used to steal that armour, when we saved Calara?" Alyssa volunteered helpfully.

John winced. "We requisitioned it, we didn't steal it."

"Potato, Potahto" She giggled mischievously. 

He laughed along with her "Ok, ok. But yes, that code breaker works on most T-Fed doors. Anything my rank would grant me access to."

"Sounds awesome Commander" Alyssa replied, throwing him a mock salute.

John sighed theatrically "You aren't going to let that go, are you?"

Alyssa got up and sat in his lap, kissing him soundly. "No, Sir" she purred in a sultry voice.

She glanced over his shoulder at the console, seeing it would take 2 hours for the ship to reach the planet. "Come on" She said to John, standing and leading him by the hand to their cabin. "It's lunchtime and I'd like my tummy to go down before I try on any clothes."

3 hours later and the happy couple strolled into one of the most exclusive boutiques on the planet. It was a quiet time of the day and the handful of shop assistants were milling around the store attempting to look busy, whilst not actually doing anything. They all seemed to look up as one and appraise the new customers when they walked in. Whilst the blonde was effortlessly beautiful in a natural kind of way and her companion ruggedly handsome, they both looked to be military from their outfits. Military typically did not mean big spenders in their experience, so most of the girls sighed in disappointment and returned to refolding clothes.

One of the girls, a very pretty brunette approached them with a friendly smile on her face. "Can I help you?" She volunteered.

Alyssa read the girl's name tag. "Well Rachel, I need lots of new clothes so I look really hot for him" she explained helpfully. "The gentleman requires some new outfits as well, so we will need someone to assist so that he looks his most handsome." She looked over at John to check if he approved.

He laughed and nodded, enjoying seeing the beautiful teenager enjoying herself.

"He's also very wealthy, so I'd like you to be especially nice to him!" Alyssa added encouragingly.

The other shop girls had overheard the conversation, and Alyssa had added the last for their benefit. Their ears pricked up at the revelation that John was loaded and they flocked around, suddenly eager to help. 

The next couple of hours passed by in a blur. Alyssa liked Rachel, the only genuinely nice shop assistant in the place. She worked with her to select a broad array of outfits that would keep her attired for most eventualities. Rachel seemed to be able to instinctively know what clothes would best accentuate Alyssa's stunning figure.

Alyssa allocated the rest of the sales assistants to help keep John distracted. At one point she turned to watch as the half dozen pretty shop girls gathered around him, flirting outrageously. "None of those gold-digging bitches are good enough for him" she thought protectively. She narrowed her eyes, imagining how they would all look after an evening with him, bellies huge with his spunk. She was surprised to find the thought extremely erotic and she found herself getting turned on.

The final hour was hard work for Alyssa. John tried on a charcoal suit that made him look extremely handsome and she kept glancing over to watch the girls fawning all over him. If that wasn't turning her on enough, Rachel's soft hands kept gliding over her curves, smoothing the fabric of each outfit into place. Alyssa found she liked form-fitting garments, so this was happening a lot. At one point, she felt her cheeks flush as the kneeling brunette ran her hands down Alyssa's shapely legs, making sure the fit of the slinky dress was correct. The two made eye contact briefly and Alyssa realised that Rachel was enjoying the intimate contact of the fitting session as much as she was. The lovely dark haired girl shared a knowing smile with the beautiful blonde, before looking away quickly.

At the end of their visit, John stood by the till as one of his assistants ran up the bill. He would have balked at the cost, but he figured his young lover deserved to be spoilt for once in her life. He turned to look for the gorgeous teenager and noticed Alyssa pulling Rachel aside and whispering in her ear. The attractive brunette blushed prettily and then nodded shyly, before handing something to the gorgeous blonde. Alyssa tucked whatever it was into her cleavage and then turned back smoothly to join him. 

Alyssa saw his questioning look, to which she smiled archly "She was really nice. I thought she might want to join us for dinner one evening."

John was rendered speechless. He followed her out of the shop, their bags overflowing with purchases as they walked to the waiting hover-limo. They made a couple of additional stops for Alyssa, while John stayed in the limo and booked them a room at a plush hotel.

The limo pulled up and the concierge handed John the keys to their best suite. A couple of porters led them to the room, carrying all their retail trophies from earlier. John enjoyed watching Alyssa looking around at their surroundings, her eyes were trying to take in all the sights at once, amazed at the opulent luxury of the hotel.

He handed the bellboys a tip before closing the door behind them. He turned to look for Alyssa, but she had disappeared into the bedroom. He heard her gasp of delight before she came running out to see him. 

"This place is amazing John!" she gushed "I've never seen anything like it!"

"A beautiful room for a beautiful lady" he replied, smiling. "Now get dressed, I'm taking you out for dinner!" he ordered playfully.

Alyssa practically bounced up and down with excitement as she turned into a blur of activity, getting herself ready to go out. John enjoyed a relaxing shower before getting dressed in his new charcoal suit. He waited for Alyssa in the lounge area of the luxurious suite, admiring the view through the glass wall of their apartment. 

Gravitus was originally a volcanic planet and the main habitation and retail zones were built in the terraformed areas. This hotel was built on a floating platform that overlooked one of the remaining volcanic areas. The magma flows and spouting lava plumes painted the darkly lit room in flickering red and orange hues. The place felt dangerous and exciting, which he supposed was its main appeal to tourists unlikely to see any real danger.

His attention was pulled away from the dramatic scene in front of him, when he heard the rhythmic clicking of high heels coming from the bedroom. They stopped just as he turned, and his breath caught when he saw the vision of beauty waiting for him. Alyssa was draped in a figure hugging black dress that seemed to hug her curves sinfully. She posed coyly for him, turning gracefully so that he could see that the dress was backless and he could see from her finely muscled shoulders, down her toned back to see the dimples above her bottom. The contrast behind the midnight black of the velvety material and the glowing perfection of her tanned skin was striking. Whoever designed this garment was a master of showcasing the female form.

She had applied light make up that accentuated her flawless complexion and the overall effect was breathtaking. Finally, her luxuriant golden locks framed her face perfectly, making her seem luminous in her beauty. He strode forward to offer his arm and lead her from the room. Alyssa looked at him and blushed, suddenly feeling self conscious in the revealing dress that only just bordered on the decent side of modesty. 

"You look absolutely incredible" He complimented her. "I've never seen anyone quite so beautiful." 

Alyssa looked at him, basking in his adoration and soaking in the heartfelt emotions she could sense from him. She sighed happily and floated along at his side, her 4" heels nearly letting her match him in height. 

The handsome couple returned to the lobby, heads turning to stare at them as they walked to the waiting hover-limo. They arrived at the exclusive restaurant and Alyssa had begun to blush when she realised so many people were stopping what they were doing to watch them. She had never been the focus of so many people's attention before. 

John leaned over to whisper in her ear "The women all wish they were you, and the men all wish they could be with you." His soothing voice calmed her nerves and she glided along with him, glowing with confidence as they were led to their table. 

The rest of the evening seemed to pass by in a blur to Alyssa. She remembered John ordering for both of them and they savoured a lovely wine with a gloriously succulent steak. Conversation flowed naturally between them and she found herself sucked in to his stories of adventure from his youth. Eventually they found themselves back in their hotel, as he led her by the hand to stand by the window to watch the dramatic lavascape below.

"Thank you for tonight John, it's been a magical evening" She thanked him appreciatively.

"It isn't over yet" He smiled, as he moved closer to kiss her. With the benefit of her 4" heels, she nearly matched his height and he enjoyed the slightly different feeling as they kissed each other. John's hands cupped her taut bottom, each cheek round and firm under his grasp. He squeezed them gently as he pulled her forward, so she could feel his throbbing erection against her midriff.

They lost track of time as they kissed one another like this, their passion growing. Eventually they broke for breath and Alyssa turned to lead him to the bedroom, her smoky, lust filled eyes entrancing him as he followed. She led him up to the bed and then turned, waiting expectantly for him. John brushed his hands up the perfect softness of her arms before hooking his fingers under each shoulder strap of the figure hugging dress. He lifted the straps carefully and gently off her shoulders, before letting the material fall and pool at her feet.

The exquisite teenager stood nude before him, except for her high heels. He rested his hands lightly on her hips, enjoying the feel of her supple young skin, warm and yielding beneath his touch as he moved in for a kiss. Alyssa returned the kiss briefly before stepping gracefully away, around and behind him, peeling the suit jacket from his shoulders. John stood still and let the gorgeous young woman move back around in front of him. 

She loosened his tie before dropping it in the pile of clothing on the floor. She unbuttoned his shirt, her fingers moving carefully and deliberately, before running her hands over his muscular chest. The shirt joined the discarded garments before she undid the clasp on his belt. She pulled it free in a long elegant motion, the flick of her wrist as it cleared his waist causing the leather belt to crack like a whip behind her. At the loud snapping sound, she looked into his eyes, her eyebrow raised suggestively. She then dropped down smoothly to a squat, so that her head was level with his cock. She undid the button of his trousers, the zip following after sounding loud in the tense silence of the room. She let his trousers and briefs drop, before leaning in to lick at the swollen throbbing head before her. She then undid the laces on his shoes, allowing him to step out of them.

She rose to stand again, before stepping daintily out of her heels. This dropped her back to her 5'8" height, forcing her to look up to him again, which felt natural and right.

He offered her his hand, and the naked couple moved gracefully on to the bed together as though performing a well practiced dance. Alyssa lay on her back, looking up at him, as John hovered over her, his much larger frame dominating her own. 

"Make love to me" Alyssa whispered enchantingly.

She could hear John's thoughts forming into the question about protection, but as he opened his mouth to speak, she silenced him with a gentle finger pressed to his lips. She spread her silky smooth thighs invitingly, her legs moving to either side of him, gently stroking his thighs and flanks.

John's pelvis tilted and he nudged between her labia, the head of his cock pulsing and swollen with lust. Alyssa gasped at the contact, her body arching off the bed. He leaned in to kiss her tenderly, enjoying the soft full lips against his own, before he parted her lips and slipped his tongue into her mouth. She sucked at the tip gently, before licking it with a curled caress of her tongue.

He pushed forward with his hips, spreading her pussy open wide, delighting in the excited gasp this elicited from the pliant teenager. Her pupils were heavily dilated with lust, as she gazed up at him. He pushed further forward and looked down to watch the athletic girl move fluidly under him, her legs tilting back and spreading wider, so that she could cradle him in her hips.

His pulsating cock pushed to the limits of the young girls pussy, enjoying entering unexplored ground, as his girth stretched her wide open. Around half of him was buried inside her when he reached her cervix. He held still, not wanting to hurt her, but Alyssa's hips began to move rhythmically underneath him, as though coaxing him to explore further inside. He pushed again and her pliant walls spread to accommodate him, inch after inch disappearing inside the tight sheath of her body. She arched her back and moaned in satisfaction when she felt his heavy, taut balls resting on the upturned cheeks of her ass. His blunt, broad head was deep in her uterus and she revelled in the feeling of being impaled by him.

They began to move together, slowly and in small movements to start, before working up to deep penetrating thrusts. They moaned and gasped as John pounded into the young girl spread out before him, alternating between furious kissing and holding back to look at each other as they fucked.

Alyssa's beautiful young body was stretched tightly around him as he drove his cock deep into her. He cradled her head in his hands and looked into her eyes as he stroked in and out of her pussy. He didn't know for sure if she was using protection or not, which added an illicit thrill to the act. She was pinned on her back underneath him and there was no way she could prevent him from filling her receptive, youthful tummy as he held her tightly in his arms. She was young and her perfect body was vibrant and healthy. She would be a perfect vessel for his cum if he chose to impregnate her.

Thoughts of her looking at him lovingly as she stroked her swollen stomach, the product of their lustful union encased within was powerfully erotic. Alyssa was looking up at him doe-eyed as though tuned into the same thoughts. She nodded slowly at him as her hips rocked beneath him, coaxing him to fill her fertile young belly.

John felt a huge orgasm well up from deep inside of him and he drove his beautiful young partner into the bed one last time before he arched his back and thrust up to the hilt inside her. He threw his head back and came, his shout of release echoing around the room.

As his balls clenched and began to fire off long blasts of cum into the teenagers womb, he felt her body joining his in climax. Her pussy rippled along his throbbing length, urging him to empty himself inside her. She had moaned and gasped beneath him before her voice had climbed to a crooning cry, joining him in wordless, animalistic need. He felt the soft skin of her tummy against his own, as the pints of spunk he was driving into her womb rounded out her belly. Alyssa's pussy lips were stretched to the limit around the base of his massive girth, so there was nowhere for the cum to go. Her stomach was forced to expand to house all his seed. 

His spasming cock finally jerked one last time as his balls were gloriously emptied into the gorgeous girl underneath him. He felt satisfied in a way he hadn't fully experienced before and he looked down at his young lover as she rested beneath him. Her face was glowing and she looked radiantly happy. He leaned down to kiss her lovingly before rolling to her side, careful not to squash her under his heavy weight. Alyssa hooked one leg over his hip as she rolled with him, so that he remained buried inside her. They lay like that for a while, relishing the closeness.

Eventually Alyssa rolled back and his cock slid from her cum lubricated pussy. His heavy viscous load seemed to be quite happy where it was for the moment, so she lay back stroking her semen packed belly. John raised himself up on one elbow and covered her hand with his, joining in with the gentle circling motions.

"So, am I about to become a daddy?" He asked, smiling down at the young girl he was caressing protectively.

Alyssa smiled back at him. "No, not yet" she replied truthfully. "Tell me when you're ready to become a father and I'll bear your children" she continued unequivocally.

John felt momentarily stunned at the extent of his young lovers selfless dedication to him. He couldn't express what he felt in words, so he kissed her passionately hoping that she would understand. Alyssa seemed to understand his meaning perfectly and she returned his kiss with the same passion. They eventually settled down to sleep, marvelling in the sense of completeness they felt with each other.

He awoke the next morning to feel a soft stroking sensation along his left ear. The delicate touch trailed up one side, reaching the pointed tip, before gently caressing down the other side. He opened his eyes to see Alyssa studying his ears intently as she stroked them carefully.

"John..." She asked cautiously.

"Yes Alyssa?" He replied politely. He could guess where this conversation was going already and he smiled wryly.

"Would you mind if I asked you a question?" She asked curiously.

"No honey, ask me anything you want and I promise I'll answer honestly." Alyssa smiled at his sincerity and her mind suddenly raced at the possibilities in his offer. She decided to stick to the original line of questions.

"You never speak about your childhood or parents. Would you mind telling me about them?" The lovely teen asked tentatively. 

He looked over to study her face and he was touched that she was that concerned about upsetting him. "No, I don't mind. I don't normally talk to people about it, but you're special" he admitted.

Alyssa sighed happily, her heart bursting with happiness.

"I know nothing about my father" John started, launching into his tale. "I must get all my unusual physical attributes from his side of the family though, as my mother was human."

"My mother's name was Jessica Blake. She worked for the Terran Federation as a Xeno-Biologist and was part of a deep space survey team. Basically, her mission was to explore the far reaches of the galaxy and discover new alien races" he went on.

"I discovered all that from her service record" He clarified for Alyssa. "My mother went missing shortly after I was born."

Alyssa sensed a deep well of sadness in her lover. He had grown up an orphan, she was shocked to realise, just like her.

"My mother's final mission was shrouded in mystery. I tried to piece together what I could from ship's logs, but by the time I was old enough to handle the investigation myself, a lot of the sources had dried up."

Alyssa was fascinated by his tale, but at the same time sympathised with him over the gaping hole in his early life.

"There was some kind of accident that killed all of my mother's teammates. I was never able to find any kind of accounts from them about what had happened on their last mission together. My mother went missing and was eventually declared legally dead. I grew up with my grandparents, who were nice people" He smiled sadly. "They passed away a few years ago."

Alyssa stroked his arm comfortingly and waited for him to continue.

"I was the sole beneficiary of my mother's pension, so I was able to get a decent education and then followed her footsteps into the military. You already know about my exploits on the Invictus" He smiled at her.

"Do you know what species your father was?" Alyssa asked gently.

"No" John replied, shaking his head. "I've searched through descriptions of thousands of different species but I've never read about anything like these" John said, nodding downwards at his cluster of balls.

"Thank you for telling me about your past" Alyssa thanked him, pleased that he would open up to her like that.

"No problem, it was actually nice to talk to someone about it" He smiled, feeling relieved.

"I think it just makes me the luckiest girl in the galaxy!" exclaimed Alyssa exuberantly. "My man is truly unique amongst billions of people, and I'm the only one who gets to empty these" She grinned, taking two of his heavy orbs in her hands.

The mischievous girl leaned closer to his quad, moving her hands to cup the other set of balls. "You boys are packed full again. Would you like me to make you feel all better?" She asked his balls lovingly, caressing the weighty globes. John's rapidly hardening cock flexed in response and Alyssa went to work.

"That's right honey, it's breakfast time" John sighed contentedly, as the beautiful teenager moved to her familiar place, kneeling between his legs. Soon her mouth was encircling the base of his shaft and John relaxed, knowing Alyssa would soon be swallowing down his load like the good girl she was.

The week flew by in a lustful haze. John and Alyssa didn't leave the suite and made extensive use of room service. He revelled in having unlimited access to the beautiful young woman's body and he used her shamelessly to her eager delight.

A few times John had awoken from the deep sleep that blissful sexual exhaustion can bring, to hear the excited chatter of young female voices in the lounge. Alyssa had kept her promise to stay in contact with Calara and the two were becoming best friends. 

John was worried about the young Latina however. He had seen first-hand the devastating impact PTSD could have on a person and he hoped the medical staff at Port Cerberus were taking good care of her.

One morning, John was lying in bed, watching the Holonet for updates on the conflict with the Kintark. He could overhear the two girls having a lengthy animated conversation in the lounge, but he tuned it out to focus on the reports of border clashes and territory disputes. 

A short while later, Alyssa strode into their bedroom purposefully.

"Calara is in trouble John, we have to help her!"



Three Square Meals Ch. 07



John wondered what could be the problem. The After Action Report he had submitted to Federation Command last week, had made it pretty clear what had happened aboard the Corvette. He was unsure what kind of trouble the young Latina could be in, as there was certainly nothing in the AAR that implicated her being responsible in any way.

"What kind of trouble?" he asked Alyssa.

"Calara said she was being accused of 'dereliction of duty'. She mentioned something about a possible court martial!" The young woman replied, looking concerned.

John snorted in disbelief. A court martial? That was absurd. 

"Is she still on the Vid-feed?" He asked Alyssa. 

"Yes. She doesn't know what to do, so I said I'd ask you for your advice" the young girl replied.

John stood and strode out of the room, grabbing a towel to wrap around his waist on the way out. He could see Calara's face on the Vid screen. The black eyes had mostly healed up, but the bridge of her nose was still swollen from where it had been broken, marring her otherwise pretty face. The heavy bags under her eyes told a tale of troubled sleep.

"Don't worry Calara, we'll get this straightened out" He said reassuringly.

Calara looked back at him with frightened eyes "I can't be Court Martialed John! It would destroy my family!" She sobbed.

"It won't come to that. We'll be at Heracles as fast as we can. Call us if there's any more developments" he stated firmly. Calara nodded dejectedly and closed the call.

He turned to look at Alyssa who had watched the brief conversation over his shoulder. "Ok let's get moving, it looks like we haven't finished rescuing her yet!" he smiled.

Alyssa moved in to hug him fiercely "Thank you John, you're a good man" she said sincerely. 

John hugged her back before they broke apart to gather up all their belongings. In a matter of hours they had checked out of the hotel, taken a hover-taxi to the planet's star port and boarded the Fool's Gold. They set a course for Olympus and 2 hours later were approaching the bustling shipyard, Terran Federation craft drifting by civilian traffic as they went about their business. The intercom began an insistent buzzing, the flashing light on the console indicating an incoming communication. John pushed a button to answer the call.

"Incoming freighter, please identify yourself and your business at Olympus" a military communications officer requested politely.

"He sounds exactly like the last one!" Alyssa whispered, causing John to chuckle.

"Commander John Blake, requesting clearance to land at the docking bay housing the Invictus" he answered the communications officer formally.

"One moment please Commander" The disembodied voice replied.

After a short pause, the voice came back. "Please proceed to Docking bay 13" it stated, before the communication officer closed the channel.

"Unlucky for some" Alyssa said ominously.

John laughed "You don't believe in those old superstitions do you?" he asked the young girl.

"You can never be too careful!" She replied archly.

Docking bay 13 was part of the dry-dock and was used for retrofitting spacecraft to new designs. This meant they had to circle the huge shipyard to be able to dock from the other side. Their freighter made steady progress and soon they began their final approach to the station. This side of the shipyard saw much less traffic and the damaged spacecraft awaiting repairs looked lonely and forlorn somehow.

"What did that?" Alyssa asked in awe, pointing to the devastated foredeck of a Terran Federation Destroyer as they slowly passed it by. They could see numerous battle scars measuring dozens of metres in length as the hull loomed overhead. 

"That's Plasma damage" John explained sadly looking at the charred wreckage."That ship has been fighting the Kintark. They are the only race that use Plasma Cannons".

They left the damaged ship behind and moved on to begin landing manoeuvres at docking bay 13. Alyssa's breath caught when she saw their new vessel and she glanced at John and saw he was similarly spellbound.

The Cruiser was docked in the centre of the gigantic bay. Massive maintenance gantries were slowly backing away from the flanks of the vessel, as though wary of the lethal looking warship. The sleek lines and bristling gun ports clearly identified the ship as a ferocious predator, one that was not to be trifled with. The craft was painted a dark military grey, with soft blue lighting illuminating the name "Invictus" in 20 foot high lettering along the hull.

The Fool's Gold touched down and the tremors shaking through the ship awakened the pair from their reverie. John flashed a wide grin at Alyssa as he stood quickly and offered her his hand to follow. They walked briskly down to the cargo bay of the freighter and John's foot tapped impatiently as he waited for the airlock door to spiral open. 

They walked outside before stopping to stand in awe, looking up at the magnificent vessel as it towered above them. At just over 500 metres in length it dwarfed the couple and their comparatively tiny freighter. 

"Welcome to your new home" A friendly voice said from behind them. They turned to see Charles Harris had come to greet them at the dock. He walked up and shook John's hand firmly, before turning to smile warmly at Alyssa and shaking her hand too.

He handed John a Holo-reader that displayed the ships schematics in a soothing green hue. The maintenance teams had worked furiously to complete the retrofitting to the tight schedule set by Vice Admiral Harris and from the data on the reader, it looked like everything had been finished on time.

"She's a hell of a ship" Charles sighed, looking behind them at the Cruiser he once captained. "You never forget your first command" he said, smiling wistfully as he turned back to the couple.

"I wish I could come with you on your shakedown voyage, but do get in touch if you run into any problems" he offered helpfully. "What do you want to do with your freighter?" he asked John.

John smiled as he looked back at the ship that had been his home for the last 11 years. "You know, I haven't really thought about it to be honest. Would it be ok to moor her here for a few weeks until I decide?" He asked his old friend.

"Having trouble letting her go?" Charles laughed good naturedly, "I know the feeling!" he grinned. "I'll have her secured nice and safely for you" he offered kindly. He waved them goodbye as he left them to settle in to their new ship.

John and Alyssa worked quickly to transfer their belongings from the Fool's Gold to an anti-grav sled that the maintenance teams had left for their use. John wasn't a hoarder so his belongings mostly consisted of clothing, armour and the contents of his weapon locker. From the information on the Holo-reader, the Invictus had been fully stocked with supplies, so there was no need to transfer the foodstuffs from his meagre kitchen and storage room.

John let Alyssa control the grav sled and she had fun steering the humming platform to the new ship. John turned around to look at the freighter one last time and after glancing over his shoulder to make sure Alyssa wasn't watching, he threw the Fool's Gold a nostalgic salute. 

"Thanks for looking after me all those years old girl" he said quietly, before turning to follow his enthusiastic young shipmate.

The door to the docking bay of the Invictus was huge and it yawned open in front of them impressively. It was large enough to comfortably home a decent sized dropship, so the grav sled looked tiny and a bit pathetic parked by itself in the bay. John pushed the button on a wall mounted panel and the external door in the hull began to shut, a force field springing into place to internally seal the huge portal.

The couple walked hand in hand through a sturdy set of doors into an adjacent corridor. They found the waiting elevator, so they entered and John pushed the button to take them up to the command deck. The hum of the elevator filled the room as they rose upwards.

"Has it changed much since you were last here?" Alyssa asked quietly.

"Well there's a lot less people around for one thing" John joked. "This ship used to house 300 rowdy marines and a navy crew of 40. Now there's just the two of us!"

Their conversation was interrupted as the elevator door opened with a smooth whir, ending in a soft click. They walked out of the elevator to look over the Command deck for the first time. John was overcome with memories, staring out across the bridge as he relived events from his past. Meanwhile Alyssa carefully peeled the Holo-reader from his distracted grasp and then went off to explore.

The bridge was shaped in an oval, with the Commander's chair placed centrally on a podium, surrounded by glowing consoles. To the right of the Commander's seat and set slightly lower down, was a similar configuration set up for the Executive Officer. Numerous other stations were placed at regular intervals around the room, but they were all left dark, automation replacing the crewmen who would have operated them. 

Alyssa followed the brightly lit steps that led up to the command podium and settled herself in the XO chair. It felt wonderfully soft and the chair's ergonomics seemed to hug her lovely curves perfectly. She spun the chair happily in a circle, noting that being up here provided an excellent view of the rest of the room. She spotted two doors on opposite sides of the bridge that she hadn't noticed from the elevator and made a mental note to explore them later. Stopping the spin so that she faced the curving consoles in front of her, she placed the Holo-reader on one of the consoles and began to learn how to operate the ship.

John was roused from his memories by an ominous thrum of power as the brand new engines on the Invictus were fired up for the first time. He looked up to see that Alyssa had settled herself in to the XO's position and had begun charting their course to Port Heracles. She pushed a button and their route was displayed in a large holographic display that spun slowly in the centre of the bridge. he climbed the illuminated steps up to the Command chair for a better view.

"Just under 4 days to reach Port Heracles John" Alyssa smiled at him. "This beast is a whole lot faster than your freighter!" she said happily. 

John turned to slowly sink into the Commander's chair, feeling its luxurious fabric moulding itself around him comfortably. He had served on this vessel for 10 years and it was proving surprisingly difficult, adjusting to having the right to sit here now. He spun the chair slowly to look back down the steps. He remembered standing down there over 20 years ago and saluting the Ship's Commander for the first time. He had been green and naive then, but full of the eagerness of youth.

Speaking of which, he turned to face Alyssa, watching her as she learned how to operate the ship. She was enthusiastically checking the Holo-reader then pressing buttons on her console, letting out excited squeals when the corresponding systems activated with a hum. Holographic Tactical grids and Galaxy maps sprung into life around them, bathing the bridge in a soothing blue glow. 

"Course laid in and all systems look good to go. Just say the word Commander!" Alyssa said, as she saluted him respectfully.

He smiled at her fondly. "Take us out of here XO".

Alyssa grinned at him gleefully and the Invictus lifted smoothly from the floor of the Docking bay. The Cruiser pulled away from the shipyard, overshadowing the damaged destroyer as they passed it by.

"What's behind those doors John?" Alyssa asked curiously.

"That one leads to a briefing room", he said pointing to the door on the right of the elevator.

"That one leads to the Commander's ready room" he said, spinning his chair so he could point at the door on the other side of the room, to the left of the elevator.

"Mmm, sounds intriguing" Alyssa replied. "Is the Commander ready?" she asked teasingly, as she got up and walked towards the door looking coyly over her shoulder.

John laughed heartily. "Your casual disrespect for naval traditions is going to take a bit of getting used to" he said as he followed after her, watching the alluring sway of the beautiful young woman's hips.

She waited for him at the door, letting him lead the way into his ready room for the first time. The room had a big window running the full length of one wall, offering a spectacular view of the shipyard as they departed. At the far end of the room was a big desk and a comfortable looking chair. On their side of the room was a seating area, with several sofa's arranged in a square, a coffee table placed centrally between them.

John took in the Commander's ready room feeling a little overawed. This was his now, but he still found it hard to believe. Alyssa gracefully moved to his side, her hand moving up to caress the back of his neck.

"Don't feel intimidated John" She whispered in his ear. "You just need to stamp your authority on the place. It will feel like home in no time".

He nodded in response, marvelling at how perceptive the lovely young girl was. It felt like she knew exactly what he was thinking. He felt lucky to have met such a wonderful woman who could read him so well and always seemed to say just the right thing.

"So Command-her" Alyssa purred seductively, deliberately mispronouncing his rank."I think it's time we christened this room." She posed for him, arching her back, thrusting out her chest. "How do you want me?" she asked, smiling beguilingly.

John grinned and decided to play along. "As the new Commander, I think the first thing to do is make sure my XO knows her place on board my vessel". He walked over to sit in the chair behind the desk.

Alyssa watched her handsome man take charge. It was intoxicating.

"She's my second in command, but it's important for her to remember that as the person in charge, anything I need comes first" he went on.

"Oh definitely sir, you always get to cum first, whenever you need" Alyssa breathed excitedly as she walked slowly towards him.

"That's very good XO. I think we will have a great working relationship" John nodded agreeably.

Alyssa unzipped her figure hugging jumpsuit and left it crumpled on the floor next to her calf length boots. She sank to her knees in front of him, and licked her lips, her mouth watering.

"If it's ok with the Command-her, I'd like to lighten his load. Help relieve any kind of pressures that might have built up. It must be hard to concentrate on running the ship if you are all backed up" Alyssa purred seductively.

John's eyes flashed with lust. "I'm impressed with your initiative XO. I'm going to enjoy spending many hours stretching you to the limit of your abilities. I think there are lots of ways we can make you grow in this role" John said, as he unbuckled his belt and removed his trousers and boots.

Alyssa could barely contain heself. She loved this kind of playful banter with him and she could tell John was really getting into it. She could feel his excitement level rising to match her own and she was determined to make this one to remember. She leaned forward opening her mouth to take in the broad helm of his shaft, delighting in how her lips had to stretch wide to engulf him completely. A natural instinct wanted to take over and have her suck down his entire length immediately, but she resisted. Instead, she took a deep breath, relaxed and then gradually took his length down her throat, using her lips to pull him inside a few millimetres at a time.

"Ahhhh" John sighed contentedly as the beautiful teenager slowly wrapped her throat around him.

The talented fellatrix massaged his throbbing shaft with her tongue, the velvety wetness dancing over him and allowing him to penetrate her throat more readily. She began to swallow repeatedly, the muscles in her slim neck gripping him tightly and massaging him. It felt like there were half a dozen eager young women jerking him off, all using their hands on him at the same time.

His thoughts drifted back to that moment back on Gravitus when he had been surrounded by the pretty shop girls. One of them had been "checking his neck size", leaning into his back and brushing against him with her soft breasts, as she stroked his neck. Two more were "checking his arm length", feeling his biceps and whispering naughty things in each of his ears. The last three had been kneeling on the ground in front of him, "helping him with the fit of his trousers", their soft hands gliding up and down his legs suggestively as three sets of eyes looked up at him invitingly. 

"Oh those naughty bitches" Alyssa thought to herself, only now realising just what they'd been up to. Thinking about all those pretty women all lusting after her man got her extremely turned on and she squeaked in surprise as her thighs clenched together and she came hard.

"Mmmmppphhhaaa" Alyssa moaned around his cock, the vibrations feeling incredible along his length.

John looked down at the young girl deep throating him, as her eyes screwed up tight and she moaned around his shaft. "God, she's just so sexy" he thought, as he remembered seeing Alyssa sharing a lustful look with Rachel, the lovely brunette in the store. The dark haired girl had been on her knees, stroking Alyssa's legs and the sight of those two looking so intimate together had nearly made him cum right there in the boutique!

"Oh fuck! He'd seen that?" Alyssa thought. She could feel his arousal at the thought of her with another woman and she could only suck on him mindlessly as her body reacted with another earth shattering orgasm.

The beautiful blonde teen felt him hold her head in his lap, his gentle but insistent grip moving her mouth up and down his cock. "I'm his little fuck toy" she thought to herself proudly, revelling in the overwhelming feeling of submission as she knelt there, being used for his pleasure. She opened her eyes to look up at him, loving seeing the determined look on his face as he stroked his shaft in and out of the clutching grasp of her throat, bringing himself closer and closer to orgasm.

She could feel him enjoying being so dominant with her, as he moaned loudly with each thrust. Suddenly he pulled back, sliding his engorged, throbbing tool from the tight confines of her body. His plan flashed into her mind and she rolled backwards, supporting her weight with her hands and arching her back for him, her big breasts presenting a perfect target.

John stood, looming over her as he panted heavily and fisted his massive shaft in his right hand. "Do it" she hissed at him, "cover me in your cum!" she urged lustily. 

"Aaahhhhhhh!!" John bellowed as his quad lurched and a fountain of cum blasted out over the prostrate teen's heaving breasts. He stroked out long heavy spurts, covering her quivering chest in his spunk, before moving on to unload all over her gorgeous young face. Alyssa opened her mouth wide to present him with another place to aim and she swallowed down big gulps of his delicious seed as he filled her mouth. Her body writhed with ecstasy and she joined him in orgasm.

Finally spent, John collapsed back in his chair and struggled to regain his breath after his exertions. He looked at the teenager through lidded eyes, admiring his handiwork. The girl was lying on her back, liberally glazed in a thick layer of cum. She used one of hands to massage it into her breasts, while she greedily sucked the spunk off the fingers of her other hand.

The two shared a lustful look, grinning slyly at each other. 

John recovered and got to his feet. He offered Alyssa his hand, and she rose gracefully to stand in front of him. "Maybe time for a shower?" Alyssa said, smiling up at him as rivulets of cum dripped off her beautiful face and on to her pert breasts. 




Three Square Meals Ch. 07



"Good idea" John laughed and led her to a bathroom in the corner of the room. There was a decent sized shower in there and they had fun making sure Alyssa was nice and clean. They dried themselves off and then cleaned up the mess by his desk. Finally both they and the room were spotless. 

Alyssa walked over to the window and stood completely nude, watching the view. John walked up behind and wrapped his arms around her in a warm hug. He rested his chin on her head and she felt loved and protected as they enjoyed the intimacy of their embrace.

"Feel like you've marked your territory now?" Alyssa asked him playfully.

John let out a belly laugh. "You're incredible, do you know that?" he asked her, as he turned her around to face him.

The lovely teen raised herself up on tiptoe and wrapped her arms around his neck before kissing him soundly. "Yes and I'm all yours!" She replied happily.

They separated so they could get dressed and then walked out onto the bridge hand in hand. 

"What now?" Alyssa asked.

"How about we check out our bedroom?" John replied. "It's just on the deck below".

The young beauty nodded eagerly and they took the elevator down to the level beneath them. The elevator door opened out into a corridor that led to the officer's quarters. 

"The Commander's quarters are the biggest, they're down at the end" said John, pointing down the corridor. "The XO's quarters are at the end on the right".

They walked down the corridor, passing a half dozen doorways. They checked a few of them and found them to all be identically furnished and comfortable. When they got to the end of the corridor, they were in for a surprise. 

"That's odd" John said, as they reached the blank wall where the door to the XO's quarters should have been. Shrugging, he turned towards the Commander's room and touched the wall mounted panel next to it, causing the door to swish open quietly. They walked inside and flicked on the lights. 

"Wow! this place is amazing!" Alyssa gasped, shocked.

The other officer's rooms had been large and comfortably furnished, but in a minimalistic military sort of a fashion. It was as though they were built to some faceless bureaucrats specification and duplicated thousands of times throughout the fleet.

This room however had obviously been refurbished very recently. It was opulently luxurious in its design, with a magnificent four poster bed dominating the huge room. There were two doors in the right hand wall and the couple took one each. John took the furthest one and found a large and roomy bathroom which featured a big shower and an enormous bath, all beautifully finished.

John heard an excited gasp from his young lover and she poked her head around the door. "John, you have got to see this!" she pleaded. He smiled, nodding and walked back to join her. Alyssa suddenly took notice of the bathroom. "Ohh that bath looks amazing!" she sighed happily before tearing herself away reluctantly. 

The excited teenager led him through the adjacent doorway into what was effectively a massive walk-in wardrobe. There were clothes rails along each side with well placed mirrors in the middle that allowed someone to see themselves at all angles. At the end of the room were extensive, wall mounted weapon racks.

John narrowed his eyes, a growing suspicion forming in his mind. Whoever designed all this seemed to know them very well indeed. After looking around for a while, playing with the fixtures and fittings, they walked back into the master bedroom. They were momentarily surprised when the room lights dimmed and a holographic recording sprung into life in front of them. It was Vice Admiral Charles Harris.

"I hope you like the ship John" the distinguished figure smiled amiably. "I'm sure you don't mind, but I took a few liberties with the design of your room. I hope I didn't misjudge your relationship with your Executive Officer, but I suspect I haven't" he grinned mischievously.

"She's lovely John, you deserve someone who makes you happy. Consider this a tiny payback for the big debt I owe you." The older man saluted respectfully. "Thanks John and all the best for the future". The room lights returned to the previous levels and the hologram disappeared.

"Wow, what was that about?" Alyssa asked, her curiosity peaked.

"I saved his life in a bad situation a long time ago. I told him he should forget it" John said, as his hand waved it away. 

"Well I'm glad he didn't, he has amazing taste!" Alyssa replied as she ran her hand over the wonderfully soft bed covers.

"I can't wait to be ravished on here later" she smiled at John coyly. 

John darted forward scooping her up in his arms, before throwing her on to the middle of the bed. Her musical laughter echoed around the room as he leapt on the bed to join her. She looked up at him giggling happily as he laughed along with her. They kissed and then hugged each other tightly. 

Abruptly Alyssa's laughter died and he looked down to see what was wrong. 

"I'm worried John" She answered his unspoken question. "I didn't think it was possible to be this happy and now I have so much, I'm worried it might all go away". 

The young girl suddenly looked small, scared and vulnerable and John had a flashback to the frightened waif that had stowed away on his ship all those weeks ago. He held her close to him. 

"Don't worry honey, this is your life now. It will take a little while to get used to all these changes, but you will. You're allowed to be happy" he said to her reassuringly. 

Alyssa looked up at him, her eyes welling with tears "I love you John" she said earnestly.

"I love you too Alyssa" John replied warmly.

They kissed sensuously and lost track of time. Eventually the kissing escalated and they made love tenderly, gently caressing each other with soft touches, as though exploring each other's bodies for the first time. It was a very different coupling to their normal frenzied encounters, but one that bonded them even closer together. They slept for a long time afterwards, their sleep blissfully peaceful and uninterrupted.

The next morning they awoke in each other's arms, John's stomach grumbling angrily. Alyssa looked at him in mock alarm "You poor man, we need to get some breakfast inside you stat! You need to keep your strength up!"

John nodded, agreeing with her sentiments and the two had a quick shower together before getting dressed.

"So where do we eat around here?" She asked. 

"Wherever I decide to feed you" John laughed, stroking her toned stomach suggestively.

Alyssa laughed with him "No silly, where do we feed you?" she clarified.

"If I'm not mistaken there should be an officers mess at the other end of that corridor" he said, pointing towards the hall outside their room.

"Well lead on then Commander!" Alyssa joked with him, holding out her hand for him to take. 

They walked down the corridor, hands clasped together until they reached a larger set of doors at the other end. John pushed the button on the door and they swished open quietly. The doorway opened out into a large room, filled at their end with comfy sofas and chairs. Long windows flanked the room on each side, with a bar placed strategically on the right hand side of the lounge. Towards the back of the room on the left was a long dining table and the entrance to a kitchen was carefully concealed on the back wall.

The couple worked together to cook up a tasty looking breakfast and John tucked in with gusto, ravenous after his exertions the previous day. Alyssa on the other hand only picked daintily at her plate, trying a bit of each thing they had cooked but only eating a small portion. She watched him eating heartily with a happy smile on her face.

"Not hungry honey?" he asked, his voice filled with concern, as he finished wolfing down his own breakfast.

"I was leaving room for desert" Alyssa explained, before she pushed her chair back and slid under the table out of view. He felt her skilful hands unbuckling his belt and he smiled at her cheeky face as she looked up at him from under the table, grinning mischievously. He helped her shimmy his trousers down then spread his legs wide to make room for her as he slumped back in his chair. 

"What a way to start the day" John sighed happily to himself as a few minutes later he fed the beautiful girl her own hearty breakfast. He helped her up again afterwards and she stretched contentedly, her swollen belly packed full of his sperm. 

"Ahh that meal was wonderful" she sighed happily, stroking her full tummy. "My compliments to the chef!" she giggled cutely.

Now that they were both satiated, they set about their chores for today. They hauled up all the gear from the Fool's Gold, storing most of it in their walk-in wardrobe. John let Alyssa have one side of the room for her many different outfits. His much more limited selection of clothing took up the first half on the other side. The last section they used to store their combat armour. After that was stowed securely, John began stocking the weapon racks with his small arsenal of equipment.

He stood looking at his collection of armour and weapons, stroking his chin thoughtfully.

"What are you thinking?" Alyssa asked when she saw him looking over the gear.

"Now that I have money to spend, it might be worth getting some upgrades. Rarer, custom gear, that kind of thing" He clarified.

Alyssa nodded, happy to go along with whatever he decided was necessary for their personal security.

"That reminds me" John went on, "there should be an armoury and shooting range near where the barracks used to be. I think they only removed the barracks to make room for the cargo bay. We should go have a look and see what we can find".

"Sounds like a good plan" Alyssa agreed. "I definitely need some more weapons practice!"

"You were great your first time in combat. With a bit more training, you will be an expert marksman in no time!" John said encouragingly.

Alyssa mulled it over and realised this was actually a great opportunity. She could learn to better protect herself and her man and she was suddenly eager to get started.

"I'm done here if you'd like to go have a look now?" Alyssa asked, excited at the planned excursion.

"Sure, let's go!" John replied, eager to look around himself.

They left their room and strolled to the elevator. John hit the button for the level above the cargo bay, which should house the armoury and firing range if his memory served him right. The elevator hummed happily to itself as it dropped to the desired level.

The door opened into a branching network of corridors. They had a look at the other rooms on this level, using John's memory as a guide. The first room they went into was a large, high tech medical bay, with dozens of empty beds.

"An assault cruiser is basically a well armed and armoured troop carrier. You need a large medical bay just in case a mission goes badly" John said soberly. 

Alyssa nodded, realising he spoke from experience. They left the sterile medical bay behind, not wanting to linger there longer than they had to. They skipped over the ships Pharmacy, only checking to see that it was fully stocked.

Next John led them to the armoury. This room had the capacity to store gear for 300 marines, but it was no longer sensible to carry that much equipment with the barracks gone. When John had last been in here, the walls had been stacked floor to ceiling with a huge assortment of body armour and weaponry. Now the weapon and armour racks were standing forlorn and empty. The marine munitions team had not bothered to remove the ammunition however, so they found thousands of boxes full of most varieties of caseless ammo.

Finally they entered the firing range. There were half a dozen lanes, with plenty of room to test fire weapons from standing, kneeling or prone. John led Alyssa to the back wall of the firing range and pressed his thumb against the lock on the weapons locker there. The door rolled back to reveal a dozen standard issue assault rifles, several SMGs and around 20 pistols of a variety of calibres. There was enough ammo stored here for weeks of sustained practice.

"Excellent" John said, rubbing his hands together happily. "Ready to get started?" he asked Alyssa.

"Definitely!" Alyssa agreed, excitedly. 

John went through safety drills again, going through the lessons he had given her two weeks before. Alyssa began to quote the lessons back at him half way through, repeating his training verbatim with a grin on her face. John listened to her amazed.

"Your memory is incredible! Ok then Miss smarty pants, time for the advanced lessons!" he said, throwing down the gauntlet.

Alyssa was an attentive student, hanging on his every word. They sat together and he went through everything he could think of, from standard and then advanced infantry tactics, to the use of hand signals to allow for silent communication. Several hours flew by as the young woman absorbed as much as she could from his many years of combat experience.

John eventually grew hungry again, so they took a break for lunch, heading back to the officer's mess. John enjoyed a tasty sandwich which he held with one hand, while the other stroked the beautiful blondes head as she bobbed away eagerly between his spread legs. They both felt pleasantly full as they headed back to the firing range.

He decided that Alyssa had studied enough theory for one day and he wanted to build up her practical shooting experience. He handed her one of the standard Assault rifles, explaining the normal operation of the weapon. He began with her firing off single rounds first, getting her used to the kick of the weapon and so that he could adjust the weapon scope accordingly. She proved to be a decent shot, holding her breath and steadying herself before firing and was grouping her hits together nicely. 

They fired off a few three round bursts so that Alyssa could get familiar with the extra recoil and improve her accuracy. Finally he had her unload a full clip at a target, letting her experience the barrel climb as she blew through the magazine.

"You did brilliantly today honey" John said to her as they cleaned the rifle before putting it away. "Feel free to come down here and practice whenever you want, you don't need me to supervise you any more".

"Thanks for spending today training me" Alyssa said earnestly. "You're a good teacher" she said, smiling up at him appreciatively.

"You're welcome" he replied, as he tipped an imaginary hat congenially. He offered his hand, and they walked back to the officer's quarters for the night.

The couple awoke early the next morning and were raring to go. After having breakfast together they discussed their plans. 

"I think I'll explore the rest of the ship" John said, eager to see what secrets the other decks held. 

"If it's ok with you, I'll continue practicing at the fire range" Alyssa proposed, impatient to continue her weapons training.

"That's fine by me honey" John agreed readily. He leaned over to stroke her already full belly "Meet back here for lunch?"

"Mmmm" Alyssa replied, licking her lips lewdly. "I'll look forward to it!"

John spent the next couple of days wandering the ship, visiting every location onboard. There were dozens of rooms dedicated to housing machinery and computers that ran vital ship functions: Life support, environmental systems, sensors, fuel control, the list seemed endless. The engine room, the drive room and the ships magazine were slightly more interesting, but as everything had been automated, there wasn't that much to interact with.

He went to visit the gym and found it had been modified significantly since the days he had served on the ship. Obviously no longer needing to cater to 300 fitness obsessed marines, the huge weights area had been greatly reduced. Dozens of treadmills and other fitness machines had also been stripped out, which meant that the gym was now about a tenth of its original size. In exchange, the freed up space now held a large pool and a Jacuzzi. John enjoyed swimming and was looking forward to showing the new pool area to Alyssa. "Let's just hope the artificial gravity never fails!" He laughed to himself.

Finally he had a good look over the new cargo bay. It replaced a large section of the lower two decks that had previously held the barracks for the marines. The cargo bay was situated to the fore of the ship, the docking bay at the aft. It ran the full width of the Invictus and there were huge hull doors on both sides of the ship that would allow easy loading, or unloading of bulky cargo. The cargo bay was heavily automated, with massive loading arms looming overhead, ready to assist in the movement of cargo around the bay.

Alyssa meanwhile spent the time practicing solidly in the firing range. The first day was spent firing thousands of rounds with the Assault rifle, before her eyes eventually got tired of staring through the scope. She concentrated mainly on firing whilst standing or kneeling, figuring it unlikely that she would be firing whilst prone in most random shootouts they were likely to encounter. Besides, it was a bit uncomfortable lying on her stomach while she was carrying one of John's heavy loads.

By the second day, her accuracy had improved dramatically. She was able to consistently land all the rounds from a three round burst on target, even when firing at the maximum distance capable in the range. She met up for lunch with John and enjoyed hearing about all of his exciting discoveries aboard the ship. He promised to show her a nice surprise in the gym that evening, and she felt herself wondering what it could be while she sucked him encouragingly. He suddenly climaxed and she enthusiastically gulped down his tasty cum. 

Immediately after lunch, they called Calara on the Vid-feed to let her know that they'd be with her tomorrow. The young Latina looked relieved that were nearly there and she waved them goodbye with more hope on her face than they had seen in some time.

Alyssa spent the afternoon researching everything she could find on the field of ballistics, before finally heading over to the gym to meet up with John at 6pm. Anticipation for this evening's big reveal had been building all afternoon and she wondered what he had in store for her. John was already there waiting for her when she arrived and she could see he was excited to show her something. She deliberately blocked out any of his thoughts, not wanting to ruin the surprise.

"Good evening Alyssa!" He greeted her eagerly.

"Hey John" she grinned at him, enjoying seeing his uncharacteristic enthusiasm.

"Close your eyes" he said playfully, before leading her into the room as soon as her eyelids had shut.

"Now open them!" he cried and Alyssa could hear the excitement in his voice.

Alyssa opened her eyes, quickly adjusting to the bright lights inside the gym and saw that he had led her to the edge of a large, deep pool. Her face twisted in fear as she backed away carefully.

"What...I don't understand?" John asked, clearly disappointed and concerned by her reaction. 

"I... I can't swim" Alyssa stammered, upset at ruining his surprise.

"Oh honey, I'm so sorry I scared you, I didn't know" John said as he moved over to wrap the frightened teenager in a comforting hug.

"I've never seen this much water before" Alyssa said, peeking over his shoulder to watch the pool warily.

"Well I'm a good swimmer, so you're perfectly safe" he reassured her. "Would you like me to teach you how to swim?" he asked tentatively.

Alyssa nodded, looking up at him trustingly.

"Ok, let's take things slowly" He said, smiling. He offered her his hand which she took gladly, but she was startled when he led her out of the gym. They headed back up to their room and he urged her to lie down on the four poster bed and wait for him a moment. John disappeared into the bathroom for a couple of minutes, before coming back to join her. He moved over her on the bed, and cradled her head gently in his strong hands as he kissed her full lips tenderly. 




Three Square Meals Ch. 07



"Ohhh" Alyssa sighed happily, as her mouth responded to the brushes of his lips against hers. They made out for a while, losing themselves in the sensations.

They were roused from their passions by the soft sound of music coming from nearby. John climbed off the bed holding out his hand for Alyssa to follow him and he led her into the bathroom, opening the door to the soft glow of candlelight. Their large bath was filled with water, the surface now covered in soapy bubbles which sparked in the light of the candles surrounding the tub. John smiled warmly at the astonished young woman. 

"Sorry I frightened you earlier" he apologised again "I did say we would start slow..." He said, gesturing to the enticing bath.

"Oh John, this is wonderful, thank you!" Alyssa gasped delightedly as she threw herself into his waiting arms. 

John swirled her around effortlessly before dropping her back lightly on to her feet. They grinned at each other as they stripped off quickly, clothes discarded in random piles on the bathroom floor. Alyssa managed to get undressed first and she eased herself into the blissfully warm water.

"Ohhhhh god! This feels amazing" She groaned as she slowly sank up to her shoulders in the water, closing her eyes in bliss.

He climbed into the other end of the enormous bath, having plenty of room to sit comfortably, his feet just brushing against hers. They relaxed in the warm soothing water for a while, feeling their troubles float away. Alyssa eventually opened her eyes, to find John watching her enjoying the comforting embrace of the water. She glided through the water towards him, ripples fanning out in her wake.

She slipped her toned legs to either side of his muscular thighs, and slid effortlessly into his arms, plenty of room for them both at this end of the large bath. She sat astride him, her pussy pressed up against his groin and she enjoyed the feeling of his rock hard cock as it throbbed beneath her. She raised herself up higher, looking down at his face as she positioned the pulsing red dome of his engorged shaft at the entrance to her hole. 

Her labia were forced wide apart as she moved slowly downwards, the pressure increasing until her slippery lubrications allowed him to slide into her. John circled her narrow waist with his hands, enjoying the feel of her flared hips under his eager fingers. 

"Oooh, you're so big" she moaned, as her tight channel was slowly forced wide open. The sensitive ridges inside her pussy were smoothed out as her supple young body was forced to accommodate the massive girth of his pulsating shaft. 

They stopped for a moment when she reached the depths of her pussy, the broad headed intruder nudging at her cervix.

"I want all of you" She urged, needing to feel him deep inside her.

John helped her tilt her hips and open her pelvis as she rocked back and forth, letting him inch his way deeper. She held on to his shoulders with her hands, her toned back arched away from him and her held tilted backwards as he pulled her down the full length of his cock. Her lips were parted and she let out a satisfied groan when the tightly stretched entrance to her pussy reached the base of his prick.

"You feel so hot and huge inside me" she said, moving one hand to feel the flexing invader that was pushed deep into her belly, "I feel so full!" she sighed contentedly.

John enjoyed feeling the perfect spheres of her ass settling gently on his fully loaded quad. He was buried up to the balls inside her and the beautiful young woman was writhing on top of him, revelling in the deep penetration. He moved his hands up to stroke and squeeze her big firm breasts, loving the way her slippery, pliant flesh yielded to his touch. His exploring hands brushed the film of bubbles from her tits, enjoying seeing her responsive body react to his touch. Her lovely pink nipples hardened from the contact, pointing upwards on her gravity defying rack. 

They began to rock together, gently at first, before getting more vigorous in their sensuous movements. Alyssa enjoyed being on top of him, feeling more in control as she worked her hips back and forth. His strong hold on her body and the support of the water made it easy for her to ride him, impaling herself over and over again. 

John lay back, revelling in the sight of the gorgeous teenager gliding up and down his painfully hard cock. Her breasts felt incredible in his eager hands and he massaged her sensitive flesh as she moaned and gasped above him. Water sloshed violently in the tub as they fucked with increasing passion, the bubbly water cascading out of the bath. He was too pre-occupied to care and his hips worked to thrust himself deeper inside her clutching pussy, her fantastically hot body constricting around him rhythmically.

Eventually the sensations became too much to resist and he shoved himself upwards as far as he could, as she ground herself down on the base of his cock. Her taut buttocks trembled against the swollen orbs of his balls and it was the final trigger for him to explode with a rumbling groan. Alyssa joined him in her own climax as she felt powerful spurts of cum shooting into her womb, his engorged shaft jerking inside her. 

The well defined muscles of her toned stomach bowed outwards, as her bloated womb was packed full of cum in a relentless surge. She moved one hand from his shoulders to her tummy and savoured the exquisite feeling of being stuffed full of his spunk. She rocked back and forth gently, her pussy coaxing out every last pulse of his seed. John's chaotically spasming balls eventually finished emptying their load and the tension in his body flowed out of him.

"That was awesome" Alyssa sighed contentedly as she lay there resting on him lightly.

John loved seeing the look of sexual satisfaction on his young lovers face and knew he wore a similar look himself. He helped her slide up and free from her impalement and the two gingerly stepped out of the bath. 

They expected the bathroom to be totally flooded after their sexual debauchery in the bathtub, but the cleverly designed floor had directed the water away to a carefully concealed drain. Relieved at not having to clean up the mess, they went into the bedroom and collapsed on the luxurious bed. They lay together facing each other and before they knew it, the bed had lulled them into a deep and restful slumber.

John awoke the next day to the delightful sounds and sensations of a warm, wet teenage mouth bobbing energetically on his morning wood. He looked down the bed to see Alyssa's smiling lips stretched wide over his cock. She reluctantly backed up and let him slide from her loving lips.

"Good morning handsome!" She greeted him cheerily. 

"Good morning to you too beautiful!" John replied, as his cock throbbed angrily in the tight grip of her hand.

"You looked lovely and hard this morning, so I just had to have a taste" She explained helpfully.

"It was a wonderful way to wake up" John smiled agreeably.

Alyssa rolled over on to her tummy, her rosebud glistened with lube invitingly.

"If it's ok with you, I'd like to have a slim tummy when we meet with Calara later this morning" she said, looking at him over her shoulder. "Besides, we haven't done it this way for a while and I like how doing it like this makes you very naughty!"

John laughed as he moved to cover her smaller body with his own. "Are you saying that the thought of buggering a tight little teen gets me extra excited?"

Alyssa sighed happily, nodding "Yes, that's it exactly".

John slotted himself into position and began to push gently. "How's that baby?" he crooned softly in her ear "not too painful?"

"No, not painful" She gasped, excited. "My muscles aren't designed to work this way, so you forcing your way in feels strange".

"Well you feel lovely and tight to me" he groaned as he pushed in further.

"Mmm" She agreed "That's all that matters after all. Pleasing my man with my body". 

She gasped, as John slid smoothly up to the hilt in her ass, her firm round cheeks pressed into his groin. He held still a moment to let Alyssa adjust to the long, thick shaft penetrating her, his huge girth forcing her anus wide open.

"Ohh" She moaned, getting used to the huge intruder in her belly. "So how does it feel to have a tight little teen to use, however and whenever you want?"

"It feels pretty fucking good" John said roughly, as he pulled back and thrust into her again, right up to the quad.

"Unh" she grunted, taking the thrust well. "but you're old enough to be my father" she teased.

John thrust into her more forcefully.

"Unh" she grunted again. "Does that turn you on? Would you like me to call you daddy?" she hissed at him, gripping the bed sheet tightly in her small hands.

"No" he said sternly, as he thrust powerfully into her ass.

"Unh" she grunted again as his balls slapped against her pussy, his broad head driving in deep. "Why not?" She demanded.

"Because one day I want to knock you up and a daddy isn't supposed to want to do that to his little girl" he punctuated his explanation with another powerful drive into her pliant young body.

"Unh!" Alyssa moaned loudly as his groin slapped into her taut ass with a smack. "Ah so that's what you like huh? You want to impregnate hot young women?"

John covered her small hands with his own, holding her in place and he began to bugger her with long rhythmic strokes.

"Unh, unh, unh" Alyssa grunted in time with the powerful fucking. "That's your secret huh? You want a stable of hot teens, their bellies all stuffed full of spunk!"

John was breathing deeply, getting more and more turned on. Alyssa's tightly clutching ass felt impossibly good and the things she was saying...

"Unh, unh, unh" Alyssa panted, her body writhing with lust. "Yeah! A big group of us, all beautiful and all knocked up!" she screamed, as she began to climax. 

"Fuck yeah!!" John bellowed, as he ground his hips forward, driving the yielding teen into the mattress. He hunched back and forth, trying to fuck his way deeper into her as a mighty orgasm overwhelmed him.

"Aaaaahhhhhh!" He groaned, as his cum blasted out of his balls to fill up the prostrate teens belly. With his weight firmly pinning her in place, she could only lie there and take it, her gorgeous young tummy rounding out with the heavy spunk he was pumping into her. Alyssa's tight little ass gripped him like a fist, as she convulsed in her own orgasm. Each clutching squeeze seemed designed to coax out as much of his cum as possible.

Finally drained completely dry, he collapsed, trying to keep his weight from squashing the young girl beneath him. He rolled over and slipped out of her, as the exhausted pair panted for breath "Yeah, very naughty" she grinned at him. John could only moan in response.

Alyssa leaned over and kissed him on the forehead as he laboured for breath, before she got up and headed to the bathroom. "I'll see what I can do" she whispered quietly as she left, with a lusty grin on her face. 

They relaxed in bed for a while, before getting dressed for the day. John wore his charcoal suit, looking the part of successful business man. Alyssa wore a delightfully tailored jacket and pencil skirt in an identical colour to his suit, that accentuated her shapely curves perfectly . Breakfast was over and done with quickly, with Alyssa eating conventional food for a change.

Holding hands contentedly, they headed back up to the bridge before separating to sit in their corresponding chairs. Timed to perfection, the Invictus dropped out of Hyper warp into the Nerus system, home of Port Cerberus.

"Let's go say hello" John said to his beautiful companion.

Alyssa nodded eagerly and laid in the course that would take them to the space station and their awaiting friend.



Three Square Meals Ch. 08



The Invictus followed the course laid in by Alyssa, making quick and determined progress towards Port Heracles. The communications officer who contacted them sounded surprised that the Assault Cruiser was a civilian vessel, but such things were not totally unheard of. He granted them docking clearance for docking bay 4. 

The Invictus stalked closer, before gliding into the docking bay under Alyssa's careful hand. It was a tight fit, but with her skilful guidance they avoided any mishaps. Lateral thrusters fired as their ship eased up to the docking gantry and finally made gentle contact, before docking clamps locked them securely into place.

"Nice job Alyssa" John said, admiring her handiwork.

"Thanks John" She smiled up at him "Flying something this huge is so much fun!"

They headed out of the ship, across the docking gantry and then up an elevator into the Spaceport proper. Although not on anywhere near the same physical scale as Olympus Shipyard, this spaceport had a large retail and trading emporium, so saw a lot of traffic from independent traders. Those traders included a broad selection of space-faring aliens, which had Alyssa whirling around wide eyed to take them all in. She gawped at the exotic creatures, marvelling at their bizarre shapes and colouring.

John leaned over to the gawking teen. "Try not to be too obvious", he whispered into her ear quietly. "Some of these species don't like to be stared at".

He smiled as he watched the curious young woman darting furtive glances at the various different aliens, trying to be discreet. He noted that the Kintark were conspicuously absent.

*Excuse me, young one* a melodic voice sounded in Alyssa's head. She whirled to see a dark green, solid looking, gelatinous blob stopped at her side, waiting to pass by.

"Oh pardon me!" She exclaimed before stepping out of the way. The creature squelched past, followed by a pair of robotic humanoid porters that were loaded down with boxes.

*It is of no consequence. Be well, young one* the kind melodic voice chimed again.

"What was that?" She asked John quietly when the creature was out of earshot. Well it had no ears, so she hoped it couldn't hear.

"Oh, that was a Bolon" John explained "They are a friendly species, but communicating with them is very difficult as they can't speak. They use the robots as interpreters when trading".

"Ah ok, thanks" Alyssa mumbled distractedly. "How very interesting..." she thought to herself.

John led Alyssa to the Terran Federation medical facility where Calara was recuperating. John nodded courteously to a couple of soldiers standing guard outside and they were ushered in to the reception area of the facility. The walls and floor in the facility were blindingly white, which took a little getting used to.

The receptionist was a middle aged woman who looked up from her work at her console.

"Hello, can I help you?" She asked the smartly dressed visitors courteously.

"We're here to see Calara Fernandez" John replied, bracing himself for questions if it turned out that she had been hauled off to the brig.

"Certainly sir, one moment" The receptionist replied, before scanning through a list of names on the console.

"Ah yes" she said, finding Calara amongst the list. "May I see your identification please?" she requested politely. John and Alyssa handed over their IDs, which were scanned by a nearby reader, logging them as visitors. 

"Take the elevator up to floor 3, Lieutenant Fernandez is in room 347" the receptionist said, passing back their IDs and pointing to the elevators in the corner of the room. "I'll let her know you're on your way" she said kindly.

John and Alyssa thanked the receptionist and then took the elevator to the third floor. The hospital was well sign posted and they found room 347 easily. John knocked politely on the door. 

"Come in!" Calara's excited voice drifted out from the room. 

He opened the door and saw Calara standing by a desk, turning to face them as she closed the call with the receptionist. Alyssa glided past him and the two young women came together in a warm embrace.

"Oh it's so good to see you!" Calara gasped, delighted to see her visitors.

"You too!" Alyssa said, a beaming smile on her face. "You look so much better!"

Calara reached up to touch her nose self consciously, still swollen from the break that had been straightened. Her black eyes had mostly disappeared now and John could see that the young Latina was actually very pretty. Unfortunately her lack of sleep made her look very tired, with big bags under her eyes.

John moved forward to greet her with a hug and she moved into his arms, holding him tightly. "Thank you both again, for saving me" Calara mumbled into his chest. "You don't know how good it is to see you". 

Alyssa stepped up behind her and they both hugged the distraught young woman comfortingly for a while. After some of the tension had relaxed from her shoulders, they stepped away, with John taking the nearby reclining chair and the girls sitting on the bed.

"So Calara, can you tell me more about the trouble you're in" he asked gently.

A dark wave of depression seemed to crash over the poor girl and her shoulders slumped in defeat. 

"I'm being charged with 'dereliction of duty' and there's going to be a court martial!" She exclaimed, her voice panicked. Alyssa moved closer and wrapped an arm around her, supporting her comfortingly.

John took out a small handheld device and connected to the station's security network. 

"He said I'd have to answer for my shocking lack of judgement. That I was to blame for the Corvette being boarded and all those people being killed" Calara blurted out, on the verge of tears. "I was asleep at the time though! As the junior tactical officer, I had handed over the next shift to Lieutenant Crowe."

John had been searching the judicial log for formal proceedings, but he could find nothing logged in relation to Calara Fernandez. 

"Who is 'He'?" John asked.

Calara shuddered with revulsion "Commander Rupert Grant, he's in charge of Port Heracles and has jurisdiction of this sector. He was my commanding officer for a while, before I requested a transfer".

Alyssa guessed there was probably more to this story. "Why did you ask for a transfer honey?" she prompted Calara gently, whilst rubbing her arm encouragingly.

Calara's eyes were downcast and she looked ashamed. "He... He kept coming on to me. I kept telling him no, so he threatened to end my career if I wouldn't go out with him. Then Commander Jericho arrived at the station on the Corvette Griffon, so I applied for an immediate transfer. He accepted and I joined his crew the next day".

"This Grant guy didn't take that well then, I guess?" Alyssa asked.

"No. When I told him about the transfer, he was furious. He swore at me a lot and called me all sorts of things" Calara said, blushing with embarrassment.

John's eyes narrowed dangerously "I think it's time I met Commander Grant" he said ominously.

They calmed Calara down, reassuring her that everything would be fine and promising they would be back shortly. She watched them leave, biting a nail nervously.

Alyssa followed along besides John as he strode angrily towards the elevator. He was absolutely fuming with rage, she had never seen him like this before. 

*Fucking with someone who has PTSD* he snarled to himself. *What the fuck does he thinks he's playing at?!*

Alyssa decided to let John focus on the situation at hand and stayed quiet, just matching his pace as they stormed out of the medical facility. They walked briskly to the Station Commander's office in the main T-Fed military compound at the Star port. Alyssa tuned in to John's inner voice and was pleased when he calmed down and had finally decided against shooting the station commander. John swiped his ID at the entrance to the compound and the guards waved him inside.

They travelled through a number of corridors in the base until they finally reached the Commander's office. John opened the door without knocking and walked into a reception area.

A pinch faced man in a naval uniform looked up and saw that two civilians had entered his office. "Yes, what do you want?" he said, making no attempt to hide his irritation. 

"My name's John Blake, I'm here to see Commander Grant about Calara Fernandez" John informed the adjutant through clenched teeth.

The man tutted in annoyance, before pressing a button on a console "There's a John Blake here to see you about Lieutenant Fernandez, sir" he said obsequiously.

There was a few moments pause before a voice on the intercom said "Send him in".

John and Alyssa walked towards the door, only for Alyssa to be stopped by the adjutant's raised hand. "Not you miss, you can wait there" he sneered, pointing at a nearby chair. She was relieved John didn't carry through with his fleeting desire to break the man's arm. Well a bit, anyway.

"I won't be long" John said to Alyssa, before he turned back and opened the door on the other side of the office and walked in.

Alyssa watched John enter the room and saw a portly man in his 50's slouched behind a desk.

"Ahh, the irrepressible Mr Blake. I read about your exploits in Lieutenant Fernandez's report. I'm surprised to find you aren't 8 foot tall and breathing fire. What can I do for you?" Commander Grant sneered.

"Shut the fuck up and scan this" John demanded in a tone that brooked no argument, as he tossed his military ID on to the station Commander's desk. He closed the door behind him, cutting off Alyssa's view.

They were in there for what seemed like forever to the impatient teenager, who desperately wanted to know what was happening. She found that she was too far away to listen in to John's thoughts, so the silence was maddening. The adjutant kept throwing salacious glances her way and she suddenly realised the reason why he had asked her to wait behind. She deliberately ignored him and tried her best to wait for John's return.

Eventually the Station Commander's door was thrown open and John strolled out. Alyssa glanced inside the room as she got up to join him and saw the corpulent Rupert Grant slumped in his chair, his face a mask of fear and dread. The couple walked away quickly, eager to escape from the horrible men. 

"I've sorted it out" John said to a relieved Alyssa. "We just need to speak to Calara and find out what she wants to do".

They walked back to the medical facility, eager to bring the good news to the troubled young woman.

Meanwhile back at the medical facility, Calara thrashed around violently on her bed, gripped in a terrifying nightmare. 

It had been such a relief to see her two saviours again and she had felt safe and protected when in their presence. When they had gone, she found herself fighting off waves of exhaustion and had curled up on the bed to try to get some sleep.

The nightmare started as it normally did. The horrific screams gurgled to a halt as the second crewmate died horribly at the hands of the Largath. It was her fault, she berated herself. Those women and all the other crew died because of her. 

The twisted faces of the surrounding pirates loomed large before her dazed eyes, leering at her and baying for blood. A crude spear was thrust into her hand as she was dropped awkwardly into the pit. Her back was a sheet of agony from where she had been flogged by that demented cyborg and she struggled to find her footing as the Largath approached. 

She waved the metal pole in front of her, desperate to keep the rampant beast at bay. It was deceptively fast for something so huge and she had to work hard to keep out of its grasp as it lunged at her time and again. She misjudged one strike and it whipped it's arm to the side, catching her in the chest. There was a sickening crunch as her ribs broke and she sailed through the air, landing on her back, the wind knocked out of her. Frantically trying to regain her breath, she struggled to her feet as the beast came forward, roaring to the cheering pirates, showboating for them...

"Bzzzzt!" 

The insistent buzzing of the intercom awoke the terrified girl and she was desperately relieved to escape from the nightmare, her heart racing and her chest heaving for breath. She steadied herself before answering the intercom and was overjoyed when It was the receptionist again, informing her that John and Alyssa were back. Her heart lifted at the thought of seeing them and she darted over to the door to watch out for their arrival.

John and Alyssa left the elevator and turned to walk towards room 347. They saw Calara's hopeful face looking around the door to her room and she beamed a big smile when she saw them. She ushered them in to her room.

"It's over" John stated simply, turning Calara to face him. "You won't have to face any charges and there's not going to be a Court Martial. None of what happened was your fault".

Calara's face crumpled with relief as she fell into his arms, sobbing uncontrollably. He held her in a warm embrace, being careful not to aggravate the young woman's healing wounds. Alyssa stood at his side and stroked the brunette's long dark hair comfortingly, her face filled with compassion. They stood like that for some time, until Calara was able to regain her composure. She looked up at them both, sincere gratitude on her face. "Thank you" she said simply.

John felt a lump in his throat. This poor girl had been through so much and then that asshole Grant had made things so much worse. This was serious, he realised suddenly. He needed to report what had happened and he couldn't do it from here using the Port Heracles comm network, as Grant might be monitoring outbound traffic. He left Calara hugging Alyssa and they agreed that he would come back to meet them after he had visited the ship. He made his way back to the Invictus, to use its powerful communication relay to contact Terran Federation Command.

A short while later, John stood deep in thought, as he took the elevator back up to the Space port. He had made his report and recorded his detailed allegations against Commander Rupert Grant. He had lost some friends to PTSD in the past. Good men, their lives taken by their own hand. He would be damned before he let anything like that happen to Calara. The elevator door opened and he was surprised to run into Calara and Alyssa as they walked towards him from the space port.

"Second Lieutenant Calara Fernandez reporting for duty sir!" The pretty Latina said formally, before snapping a sharp salute and standing rigidly at attention.

"What...?" John said, surprised by her actions. 

"I told Calara we had a vacancy in our ship's roster, after my recent promotion" Alyssa told him, her beautiful blue eyes flashing mischievously. "She just agreed to join us!"

"Now wait just a minute!" John blurted out, remembering Alyssa's old job title.

"Uh-uh Commander!" Alyssa admonished him playfully, waving a finger from side to side. "As your Executive Officer, I am in charge of all recruitment" She cut off John's forthcoming objection with a piercing gaze that startled him into silence.

"Second Lieutenant Fernandez here graduated top of her Academy class, specialising in naval tactics". Alyssa turned to face Calara "Lieutenant, summarise your career for the Commander please".

"I joined the Terran Federation Navy at 16 and spent 2 years at the Academy. My first posting was at Port Heracles, before I transferred to the Corvette Griffon" Calara stood at attention as she listed off the achievements and citations of her fledgling career.

"Besides" Alyssa went on, after Calara had finished. "The Invictus has a lot of big guns. I don't know anything about ship to ship combat, do you?"

John paused, mulling this surprising turn of events over in his mind. He was a Marine at heart, specialised in ship boarding and infantry tactics. He realised he had subconsciously shied away from anything to do with the Invictus' gun batteries, feeling a little wary of their massive firepower. A Tactical officer could actually be very useful and he came to his decision quickly. 

"Welcome aboard Lieutenant!" he said to Calara, snapping her a crisp salute and then smiling at her warmly. The pretty Latina returned his salute and then smiled back at him happily as she relaxed.

"Yay!!" Alyssa squealed, rushing forward to embrace her friend in a hug. Calara returned the beautiful blonde's enthusiastic embrace, wincing slightly at the sharp pain in her ribs. 

"Oh, sorry!" Alyssa apologised, releasing her. They walked over to the window overlooking the docking bay, offering Calara her first view of her new home. The Assault Cruiser loomed in front of them, taking up most of the view. Calara took in the intimidating sight of the many weapon banks bristling along the ship's hull.

"Oh yeah..." She said in a low voice, her head nodding appreciatively as her mouth formed a wide grin.

"Come on, let's get you settled in. You're going to be so happy here, I promise!"Alyssa said eagerly. They strolled hand in hand towards the elevator that would take them down to the docking gantry. John watched the departing eighteen year olds for a moment before he moved forward to scoop up Calara's duffel bag. He carried it easily over one shoulder and followed behind them to the lift. 

The elevator took a couple of seconds to take them down to the docking gantry and then the trio walked briskly towards the towering hull of the Invictus. Alyssa pressed her hand against the fingerprint reader and the airlock spiralled open for them welcomingly. They walked inside and headed up to the officer's quarters, while Calara recounted what had happened while John had gone back to the ship.

"So after Alyssa offered me the job as Tactical Officer on board the Invictus, I called Commander Grant to request the transfer. He offered me an indefinite leave of absence!" She exclaimed, still shocked by how eager he had been to help. "That means I can stay on the ship for as long as you guys want me here" she sighed happily.

Alyssa grinned at John over the excited brunette's head as they walked along the corridor on deck 2. He smiled back at her, both of them pleased to see Calara's dramatically improved mood. They reached the end of the corridor and Alyssa pressed the button on the door to the left of the Commander's room.

"Our room is just over here, so I'd like you to have this one" Alyssa said as the door to the officer's room swished opened quietly. "Then we'll be close by if you need anything" she explained.

Calara nodded her head agreeably and they walked into the room. "Wow these quarters are huge!" She exclaimed excitedly. "It's at least three times as big as my berth on the Griffon" she looked around the corner "and my own bathroom too!" she grinned. 

"Decorate it how you like, but please keep it nice and tidy!" Alyssa smiled at her warmly.

"Yes Ma'am" Calara replied respectfully, as John placed her duffle bag full of possessions next to the door.

Alyssa laughed. "There's no need for all that military stuff, except when making fun of John!" she grinned mischievously.

John grabbed the playful blonde and tickled her relentlessly until she begged for mercy. Calara watched them bemused, with a big smile on her face. John eventually let Alyssa go and she panted for breath.

"Come on you two, let's go have some dinner" he suggested amiably.

"Yes sir" Calara replied automatically, before catching Alyssa's mock disappointed frown.

"Yes... John. That would be lovely" she answered again, glancing at Alyssa who smiled happily.

John laughed at the blonde good naturedly. "I thought the Executive Officer was supposed to enforce discipline?"

Alyssa looked at him archly. "I thought we discussed what my main role was supposed to be?".




Three Square Meals Ch. 08



John flushed, embarrassed. "Very good XO" he coughed.

They walked off to the Officer's lounge, all three of them enjoying the playful banter. This was such a change from the rigid discipline enforced on Terran Federation ships, that it came as a bit of a shock to Calara. She soon relaxed though, with both John and Alyssa putting her at ease with their welcoming friendliness. They enjoyed a great dinner and it turned out John was a good cook when he put his mind to it. The trio then relaxed in the comfy chairs of the officer's lounge.

"This ship is amazing" Calara sighed contentedly "You really own this yourself?" she asked John.

He nodded. "After my service in the military, I worked as a trader for 11 years and finally made a big score. This... " He spread his arms wide "was the result".

"Plus he got me in the bargain" Alyssa smiled playfully.

"Heh" John chuckled, "I guess I did". They looked at each other fondly.

Calara stifled a yawn. 

"Sorry to bore you" Alyssa joked with her.

"No, no, I'm just really tired!" Calara answered, worried that she had offended them.

"Come on ladies" John smiled at them both "It's probably time for bed". He stood and then offered each his hand gallantly. Both girls stood and they walked back to the other end of the officer's deck. 

John and Alyssa stopped at Calara's door as the exhausted brunette stumbled into her room. 

"Remember, just come and ask if you need anything" Alyssa said reassuringly. The couple left her to get settled in and went into the Commander's quarters.

Calara went into her bathroom and completed her night-time routine, before collapsing on to the big comfortable bed. She struggled out of her clothes and pulled on a big comfy T-shirt before crawling under the covers and turning out the light. Even though she was tired out and badly needed to rest, she was scared of the terrifying nightmare that had plagued her every night for the last two weeks. She lay in bed, half dozing but desperately resisting the call of sleep.

She was roused from her half-awake state by the sound of an excited gasp. Calara looked at her clock and saw that it was 11pm, she had been lying there for around an hour. She was mulling over the life changing events of the day, when she heard another excited gasp. Her mind immediately recalled that time back on the Fool's Gold when she had stumbled across Alyssa pleasuring the handsome Commander.

Feeling a little guilty, but unable to resist the siren call of the soft feminine moans coming from the other room, Calara got up and padded to her door. She had been so tired, she had forgotten to close her door earlier and she saw that the door to Alyssa and John's room had been left open too. 

"Alyssa probably did that in case I needed anything" Calara thought to herself. "How can someone so impossibly beautiful be so kind and caring as well?" she wondered.

"You shouldn't peek on them after they've been so welcoming" The good angel that popped into existence on Calara's shoulder reasoned. 

"But John's so handsome and Alyssa is so beautiful" The naughty devil on the other shoulder countered. "What would it hurt to take a quick peek? Besides, Alyssa didn't seem to mind last time".

The devil had it, the angel couldn't counter that kind of foolproof argument. Calara crept forward and looked into their room. Her breath catching at the sight in front of her.

John was on his back his head towards her, as the dim light in the room cast shadows over his muscular chest. Alyssa was riding him like a cowgirl, her slim, tanned body moving gracefully as she rocked back and forth slowly. John's hands cupped the beautiful teenagers big firm breasts and the pink nipples seemed to point towards Calara enticingly, as though begging to be kissed. Alyssa was leaning forward, her lustrous mane of golden hair flowing around her as she moved. It was clear they were trying to stay quiet, but the gorgeous couple couldn't help but make little gasps or moans when something felt too good.

Calara's thighs ground together, feeling lust wash over her for the first time in weeks. She let out an excited little moan as she watched them with growing excitement.

John was oblivious, totally absorbed with the ravishing young beauty who was riding his painfully hard cock so wonderfully. Alyssa however, heard the quiet moan from the doorway and looked up under her shroud of blonde hair to see Calara silhouetted in the doorway. Alyssa raised herself up slightly, putting on more of a show for the voyeuristic Latina, writhing smoothly in John's lap. She noticed Calara's hand slipping down between her legs to rub herself in time with Alyssa's rhythmic motion. The beautiful blonde brushed her hair away from her face with both hands, letting it fall down her back, before looking forward and making eye contact with the brunette.

Calara was so close, she was so turned on and the sight before her was amazing. Suddenly she noticed that the gorgeous blonde was looking right at her, watching her rub her pussy. She let out a frightened squeak and flushed with embarrassment. She made to bolt for her own room, but something in Alyssa's piercing cerulean gaze had her rooted to the spot.

"Come join us baby" Alyssa purred seductively and beckoned the shy Latina over to them warmly. John tilted his head back to see what was happening, suddenly aware of their late night visitor. Alyssa pressed a finger gently to John's lips with the other hand, silencing any objections, before leaning in close to whisper in his ear "She needs this John".

Calara moved forward hesitantly, transfixed by those perfect blue orbs. 

"That's right, there's a good girl" Alyssa crooned comfortingly as she slid up and off John's massive shaft, before gracefully pivoting and landing smoothly on her feet by the side of the bed. She walked towards the brunette, her poise and grace reminding Calara of a catwalk model.

The beautiful blonde reached out to take the lovely brunette's hand and she led her back to their bed. They turned to face one another and Calara gasped when Alyssa moved her hands forward to take the bottom of the oversized t-shirt and pulled it gently over her head. The hypnotic effect of those incredible blue eyes was momentarily broken, but Alyssa moved in and kissed Calara gently, reinforcing her bewitching hold over the brunette.

"Ohhh" Calara moaned into Alyssa's mouth as the two kissed tenderly. Both of them exploring lovely soft feminine lips for the first time.

John was stunned by the recent turn of events. He had tried to object when Alyssa had beckoned over Calara, worried as he was about her fragile state after all the trauma she had experienced over the last two weeks. He sat up and turned to face them as Calara came over to the side of the bed, hand in hand with the blonde teenager he loved so much.

He had to stifle his own gasp as Alyssa removed the T-shirt from Calara and the two moved together to kiss softly. They held each other tenderly and their youthful breasts pressed together as they held each other, relishing their first kiss.

This was the first time John really had a chance to study Calara's body in a sexual light, his previous worry for the young woman overriding any such thoughts. She was smaller than Alyssa, probably about 5'6" compared to the 5'9" of the statuesque blonde. She was slim and athletic which he liked, but she was looking thinner than when he had first met her, the strain of the last 2 weeks taking their toll. Finally, her breasts were a lot smaller than the blondes, probably about a 30B if he guessed right.

John's cock throbbed with excitement as he watched the beautiful sight before him. The girls obviously held great affection for each other and it was wonderful to see them express it physically. Their full, soft lips brushed over each other lightly, their tongues darting out teasingly as they kissed passionately.

Alyssa sighed with happiness as Calara moaned into her mouth breathily. She was bigger than the lovely brunette and she felt protective of the smaller woman. "I wonder if this is how John feels with me?" she asked herself glancing to the side, to see her man drinking in their bodies as they made out in front of him. Alyssa leaned back slightly, breaking the kiss.

"Poor John, we've forgotten about him" She said quietly, as she turned and climbed on to the bed, holding Calara's hand so that she would follow. 

"Don't you want to show John how much you care about him too?" She asked the lovely Latina. 

Calara nodded in agreement and climbed on to the bed, moving forward to face her handsome saviour. John brushed her long dark hair away from her face so that she could look him in the eyes.

"Are you sure about this?" He asked her gently, cupping her cheek tenderly.

"Even now, all he cares about is me" Calara thought to herself, as she moved forward to kiss him passionately. 

John cradled the lovely brunette in his arms as he kissed her fervently. Her darker skin excited him tremendously, as she was such an exotic contrast to the fairer Alyssa. His teenage blonde lover sat to their side and watched lovingly as the two explored each other's lips for the first time.

This felt so right to the blissfully happy blonde and she knew the brunette would fit in with them both perfectly. She sighed contentedly, watching them kiss with passion until they paused momentarily to take a breath. 

Alyssa leaned forward to whisper in the Latina's ear "Would you like to taste me?" she asked seductively. 

Calara's eyes opened wide at the thought and she nodded tentatively. Alyssa leaned forward, murmuring "Such a good girl, so lovely" as their lips made contact again. Calara glowed with the praise and kissed her back fiercely. John watched up close as the blonde and brunette made out passionately only inches in front of him. He could hear every breathy moan, every sigh, every gasp of delight. His rock hard cock throbbed, hard as steel. He couldn't recall being this turned on before. 

Alyssa eased back from Calara and then guided the brunette to her knees in front of John, his massive cock throbbed, as though pleading for attention. 

"You saw me with him" she said to the brunette gently, to which Calara nodded, blushing slightly. "Well he's coated with me" Alyssa explained, seeing the light of understanding go on in Calara's soulful brown eyes. 

The Latina smiled coyly and then moved over John's cock, parting her lips into a wide oval. She leaned forward and carefully enveloped his broad head in her mouth, licking him with her tongue. Alyssa watched intently, feeling incredibly turned on as the brunette sucked gently on John's cock, her tongue lapping away at the throbbing hardness filling her mouth. John's balls were overjoyed when his burgeoning prick started to receive attention again and they served up this new teenager with some fresh pre-cum for her to savour.

Alyssa leaned close and kissed the side of John's shaft, just below where Calara worked on the head. She licked and caressed him with her tongue as she watched the brunette's eyes grow dazed and heavy lidded. Soon her brown eyes were closed and she began to bob in his lap rhythmically, brushing up against the blonde's face.

Alyssa backed away to let the Latina go to work, watching from close by. She saw the girl pause when he reached the back of her mouth, unable to fit in her throat. The lovely brunette seemed to relax however, all the while sucking gently on his cock. Eventually she moved forward again, swallowing this time, to coax the heavy girthed cock down her throat. Alyssa reached forward to gently cup Calara's neck as she felt her man's shaft make steady progress. She marvelled at the way the girls slim neck bulged out to accommodate the thick tool that was now thrust down her gullet. John eased all the way back and Calara took a deep breath before swallowing him down again.

Alyssa moved to stand by John's side so she could whisper in his ear, her big firm breasts sandwiching his left arm between their taut flesh. "This is so fucking hot John" she gasped into his ear softly. "Did I look like that when you broke me in?"

John's brow was furrowed with concentration as the brunette pleasured his shaft, massaging him as she swallowed "You were smaller... tighter... had to be very careful" he gasped.

Alyssa slipped a finger between her thighs and stroked her swollen clit. She came instantly. "Ooooohhh" she moaned in his ear, the wonderful sound of an orgasming young woman nearly making him cum there and then. 

"You own me now John" She gasped, "I'm yours forever, if you'll have me?". John grunted his agreement, grabbing the beautiful blonde so that he could kiss her fiercely. Alyssa broke the kiss for a moment, looking down to stroke Calara's head as she sucked mindlessly and rhythmically on John. 

"Do you want to own her too?" Alyssa asked. John moaned and could only nod silently, as his hips thrust gently at Calara's face. 

"Then fill her belly up John. Show me what we'll look like when you impregnate us both!" Alyssa urged passionately.

"Ohhhh Fuck!!" John yelled as his balls flexed and he began to shoot long spurts of cum into the compliant Latina's awaiting stomach.

Alyssa's eyes widened, her pupils dilated, as she felt the climactic wave overcome John. Her thighs ground together and her hips twitched as she joined him in the explosive orgasm. The trio collapsed in a heap, completely spent.

John woke up the next morning with a young woman in his arms. He was spooned behind her and enjoyed the feel of her slim, toned body against him. He moved his hand up to cup Alyssa's big firm breast in his exploring hand, but instead found himself cupping smaller but still delightfully pert and pliant flesh. He opened his eyes to see dark brown hair instead of blonde in front of his eyes, and it took him a moment to remember the events of last night.

Alyssa's face appeared above Calara's head. He looked up into her big blue eyes as she smiled down at him looking happy and content. They then rested together on either side of the young Latina, both feeling protective of the peacefully slumbering brunette.

Calara had fallen into a deep sleep. The nightmare started as it normally did. The second crewmate died at the hands of the Largath. It wasn't her fault, she suddenly reminded herself. Those women and all the other crew died because of the evil pirates and there was nothing she could have done to prevent it. 

A crude spear was thrust into her hand as she was dropped into the pit. She waved the metal pole in front of her, to keep the Largath at bay. Suddenly there was a blinding flash above her and two angels seemed to appear in the glow. The heartbreakingly beautiful angel was surrounded by a golden halo and she pointed at the Largath as it lurched around the cargo bay. It's head exploded and it keeled over on its side, never to bother Calara again. The handsome angel scooped her up in his strong arms. "You're safe now, no-one will hurt you again" he said comfortingly, as they carried her away. 

Calara felt safe, warm and loved and the young woman fell into a deep peaceful sleep.

John and Alyssa stretched as they got up and out of bed. John kissed the beautiful blonde, smiling happily before heading to the bathroom. Alyssa stayed behind as she wanted to see how their new bed mate was doing. 

The worry lines had smoothed out on Calara's face and she slept like a baby, tucked up in the comfortable bed. Alyssa checked the girls back and saw that the horrific welts and lacerations were healing nicely, the angry red marks not nearly so inflamed as they had been last night. Careful not to wake her, she walked around the other side of the bed to check the Latina's face. She noted that the fading black eyes had disappeared completely and the swelling on her nose had gone down a bit too.

"Good" she said to herself quietly, nodding in satisfaction. This was working exactly as she had hoped. She turned and followed John into the shower. She found her lover standing there, enjoying the feel of the warm water as it flowed down over his face. She slid in behind him and wrapped him in a warm hug, her heart full of love for her man.

The couple left Calara to rest and went to the Officer's lounge to go and get some breakfast. John was pleased when Alyssa joined him in eating a hearty breakfast and was then surprised when she made no move to go down on him like she normally did every morning.

Alyssa laughed gaily and cupped his face lightly in her hand, smiling at him affectionately. "I think I've spoiled you!" she grinned at him. 

John looked a bit abashed and started to mumble an apology, but Alyssa cut him off. "If you're really horny, of course you can have me any way you like" she offered sincerely, "but I'd prefer you to save up a big load and give it to Calara when she wakes up".

"Give it to Calara?" John asked, with a confused look on his face. "Why?"

Alyssa stood silently and lifted her figure hugging top, revealing the lovely bronzed skin of her toned abdomen. She turned slightly to her left, showing him her right flank. "What do you see?" She asked, watching him carefully.

John looked closely, wondering what the beautiful young woman was getting at. He ran his hand over her side, but all he could see and feel was her absolutely perfect, unblemished skin.

"You're flawless honey. Other than your gorgeous body, I can't see anything out of the ordinary" he shrugged his shoulders, admitting defeat.

"I grew up in abject poverty, surrounded by fighting black market gangers" Alyssa explained. She pulled off her top completely, showing him acres of flawless perfection. "There's no way my skin should be this clear, shouldn't there be a few scars here or there?" she asked him.

John nodded, "Sure that makes sense, but there aren't any".

"Exactly" Alyssa confirmed, grinning at him.

John laughed loudly. "Sorry honey, all the fun from last night must have made me a bit obtuse this morning. Could you explain for me, using small words please".

Alyssa smiled at him lovingly. She remained standing and showed him her right flank again. "When I was 14, I was caught up in a street fight. Some hood with a knife stabbed me here, she pointed to an area of unblemished skin. I had a scar that went from here, to here". She traced a line just above her right hip.

"It wasn't that noticeable unless you looked closely, but now it's gone completely" she looked at him to see if he understood.

"light gunshot wound - right arm, burn - left wrist, mole - lower back..." Alyssa listed off her list of scars and imperfections, pointing to the unblemished locations on her body, "All gone" she said as if that explained everything.

John finally realised what she was saying. "So you had all these scars and now they've gone and you think its linked to the changes in your body?"

Alyssa nodded emphatically. "Yes, exactly". She reached between his legs to gently stroke his quad "I think these gave me the full body makeover and healed all my scars at the same time".

"and now you're hoping the same will happen to Calara?" he stated.

"Mmm-hmm" she nodded, agreeing with him.

"I'll wait" he smiled happily, glad he might be able to really help the young Latina's physical recovery.

The beautiful blonde smiled at him lovingly and leaned over to give him a big kiss.

"So aside from topping up Calara, what's our plan now?" She asked curiously.

"Well I thought we might head back to Karron" John said, watching for Alyssa's reaction. "I know you were desperate to leave there before, but when I bought the last load of Tyrenium I could only afford 10 tons and I know the mine still had a bit more. It would be worth going back to pick up some more, even if it's just a couple of tons".




Three Square Meals Ch. 08



Alyssa didn't react aversely, she just seemed to be turning things over in her mind. 

"Is that ok with you then honey?" he asked, to make sure she had heard him.

"Oh, sorry John" she apologised. "I was just thinking about something I left behind there. Sure, a trip back sounds great!"

They headed up to the bridge and Alyssa laid in a new course to Karron. She hit the button on her console and the large holographic display showed the winding path through the stars.

"There we go, 11.9 days!" She said, satisfied that she couldn't reduce the journey time any further.

"That journey took me over 4 weeks in the Fool's Gold!" John exclaimed, marvelling at the difference his talented young companion and their powerful new ship had made.

"You're welcome!" Alyssa smiled at him, tipping an imaginary hat, causing John to laugh at her mimicry of him. "Permission to get under way Commander?" Alyssa asked politely. 

"Take us out of here XO" John smiled at the beautiful young woman. 

Alyssa grinned happily and flipped the switch to release the docking clamps. She clicked a couple more buttons and the engines throbbed with power, as the massive cruiser glided out of the docking bay under her smooth and steady hand. The 500 metre long behemoth pivoted elegantly, in a manoeuvre that seemed unnaturally graceful for a ship of that size and then leapt forward as Alyssa engaged full drive power. They reached the Nav beacon in what seemed like no time, before the cruiser clawed its way eagerly into hyper warp.

"We better get back to Calara" John said, looking at the ships chronometer. "14 hours are nearly up."

"Can't wait to round out that lovely coffee coloured tummy again eh?" Alyssa smirked.

"You're such a vixen!" John laughed. "You know I just want to make sure she's ok!" 

"I know, that's why I love you!" The beautiful blonde said, standing eagerly. "Come on, let's go see how sleeping beauty is doing".

They didn't have to wait much longer before Calara started to stir. Her eyes fluttered awake and it took her a moment to realise where she was. She huddled into the covers, blushing with embarrassment. 

"Hello there" Alyssa smiled at her warmly. "How are you feeling?"

"A bit thirsty" Calara mumbled, self conscious to find herself in Alyssa's bed.

As if on cue, John appeared with a chilled glass of water and handed it to her carefully. "There you go honey, drink this, you'll feel a lot better". 

Calara took the glass from his hand and gulped down the water gratefully. Her throat felt parched and the soothing chilled water felt amazing. As she finished drinking, a small drip of water fell from the condensation on the glass and landed on Calara's right breast, the cold water making her gasp as it slid down her warm skin.

"Let me get that for you" Alyssa offered, as she leaned forward and licked the water droplet off the Latina's breast with a salacious flourish of her tongue. This caused Calara to gasp again, this time in shock at the brazen blonde's actions. The glass jerked in her hand, causing more water to drip, but this time on to her left olive toned breast. 

"Mmm, there's some for you as well John" Alyssa pointed out helpfully. 

John climbed on to the bed and looked into Calara's eyes as he moved forward to lick the water droplet from her other breast. Gradually her shocked expression relaxed, and she sighed contentedly as he continued to lick her skin with long, drawn out motions of his tongue. Alyssa moved back to join them and gently pulled down the covers, exposing the Latina's erect nipples. The hard little buds were begging to be kissed and John and his beautiful blonde assistant each took one in their mouths.

"Ohhhh God!" Calara groaned helplessly as they suckled at her nipples. The contrast between their slightly different tongue technique was driving her mad with lust. She held the backs of each of their heads, holding them firmly to her bust as she writhed under their ministrations. Her eyes squeezed tightly shut as she gasped and moaned in pleasure. 

Alyssa began to kiss lower, moving steadily down the young brunettes body. She held John's gaze as she trailed kisses over the Latina's coffee coloured stomach, her eyes lusty and suggestive. The gorgeous blonde moved nimbly between Calara's twisting legs and smoothly spread them open, exposing the girl's sex. Calara gasped in shock, but that quickly turned into helpless moans, as John moved up to kiss her passionately and Alyssa ran her delicate tongue over the woman's labia. 

"Ooohhhhh!" Calara groaned, as the blonde began to lap at her clit with gentle strokes of her tongue. She kissed John mindlessly as her senses were overloaded. Soon Alyssa's skilfully probing tongue had the lovely brunette arching her back as she came hard, she clasped John tightly and kissed him fiercely. The couple let her ride out her orgasm, before they moved up to settle on either side of her, holding her protectively between them. The lovely Latina could only shudder with the aftershocks, as her chest rose and fell rapidly as she struggled to regain her breath.

"How was that honey?" John asked Calara, proud of Alyssa's performance. His cock throbbed painfully and he was very turned on from watching the stunning blonde teenager between her equally young friends legs. 

"That was so good, I've never come that hard before!" Calara gasped, staring at the two of them, her eyes open wide in amazement.

Alyssa kissed the bewildered girl gently "You looked amazing when you came" she said softly.

Calara relaxed between the two and stifled a yawn. "Sorry!" she apologised.

"No need to apologise honey, you've had a tough couple of weeks and your body needs rest to recover" John said reassuringly.

"Would you like a nightcap before taking another nap?" Alyssa asked the brunette, who nodded tentatively in response, not exactly sure what the mischievous blonde meant.

"Great, this will make you feel so much better!" Alyssa replied enthusiastically and offered Calara her hand.

John watched the Latina follow the beautiful blonde trustingly, getting out of bed and standing at its edge facing her. Alyssa leaned forward and kissed her gently, her left hand reaching down to stroke the Olive skinned girl's firm bottom. The contrast of her lighter coloured hand on the darker skinned girl's buttock made John's cock throb urgently. Alyssa held her other hand out to him and then beckoned him forward.

Wondering what his adventurous young lover had in mind, John inched forward until he sat on the edge of the bed, his thighs spread wide to give the teenagers plenty of room to make out in front of him. He reached out with both hands, to cup a delightfully firm cheek with each. He loved the tautness of their teenage flesh, the way both of the bottoms yielded to the careful touch of his strong fingers. 

Alyssa was momentarily distracted by the searching lips of the eager brunette standing in front of her. Kissing a woman was lovely, so gentle, so soft. She felt John's hand cupping her ass cheek and then massaging her with a skilled touch. It got her even more aroused and she nearly turned around to mount him. 

She remembered that they had to take care of the lovely Latina however, so she broke away from Calara's gentle kisses, and carefully guided the brunette to her knees in front of her man. She slid down to kneel close behind the smaller girl, Calara's firm bottom feeling warm and pliant under her as she snuggled in closely. "No wonder John likes to fuck me in the ass so much, this feels amazing" she sighed lustily, wondering what it must be like to have a big hard cock to drive into a receptive young woman this way.

She looked over Calara's shoulder to see that the eager brunette had wasted no time. Her hands rested lightly on John's thighs, the darker skin contrasting with his fairer colouring in a most exciting way. Calara's dark hair bobbed smoothly back and forth as she enveloped his cock in her mouth and from the rhythmic way she was letting him glide into her throat, Alyssa realised that the Latina had succumbed to the effects of John's pheromones. 

John delighted in the feel of his broad head disappearing into Calara's grasping throat. She was a natural at this and her full lips were soft and inviting as they eased their way down his shaft. His balls were sensitive and fully loaded, annoyed at missing their regular morning emptying. The orbs felt taut and packed to the brim, four orange sized spheres swollen with spunk. He saw Alyssa leaning around to look at Calara's face, taking in her glazed eyes and then looking up to him, nodding eagerly.

The gorgeous golden haired blonde moved her hands around Calara to stroke her tummy. The Latina's stomach muscles were well defined and toned, evidence of the athletic girl's dedication to physical fitness. Alyssa looked up at John and saw that his eyes were hooded with lust.

"She's ready for you John" She said to him, as she hugged the brunette gently from behind.

"Her toned little tummy feels so flat and empty. Are you going to be a good host and give her a good meal?" the ravishing blonde encouraged him naughtily.

He nodded, feeling tremendously excited and relishing the different feel of another lovely young girl servicing his length. 

"That's good" Alyssa crooned softly "I want to feel you fill up her belly". She looked up at him with her piercing blue eyes and said "show me what I look like when I empty your balls for you".

John's breathing was getting laboured now. He could tell Alyssa was turning herself on with her lewd commentary as she was panting excitedly too. He closed his eyes for a moment and just focused on the rhythmic motion of Calara's lips, tongue and throat as she slid up and down his length, massaging every inch of him.

It was like her body was eager for his cum, desperate to feel him filling her up. He looked down at the lovely brunette as she took him deep down her throat and then sucked insistently at his root. Seeing the girl's full lips suckling at him was the final trigger and he cradled her head gently in his hands as his orgasm overtook him.

"Aaahhhh!" He groaned with satisfaction as his balls began to unload their contents. This orgasm wasn't like the frenzied ones with Alyssa, he felt more in control and it was a long and drawn release, rather than an explosion of pleasure.

He watched Alyssa cupping Calara's slender neck gently with her right hand, her delicate fingers feeling his cock jerk in the tight confines of the brunette's throat. The other hand was rested on that slim coffee hued stomach as it began to rapidly inflate with his spunk.

Alyssa could feel John's cock's cock throbbing under her fingertips and she imagined the thick ropes of jism being blasted into the Latina's slim tummy. Her other hand rubbed Calara's stomach gently, as though encouraging it to expand and make room for all that delicious cum. She moaned with excitement as that slim little waistline was blown outwards, and eventually she had to cradle the semen swollen tummy with both hands to feel it's engorged majesty. She experienced John's lengthy, controlled climax and joined him with her own orgasm as she embraced the quivering brunette.

Eventually John was drained dry and he collapsed back on the bed with a satisfied sigh, his spent length sliding easily out of Calara's throat and mouth. The brunette sat serenely, her thighs spread wide to make room for her gravid belly, her hands stroking the sperm packed sphere protectively. Alyssa followed Calara's hands with her own, marvelling at the way the brunette's stretched stomach could handle such an enormous load. She felt a slight protrusion in the middle of her swollen stomach and realised the girl's belly button had popped out to make extra room for all John's spunk. 

The statuesque blonde rose to her feet and helped the comatose brunette to rise too. John reached over to help and they positioned the Latina so she was lying comfortably on the bed. They sighed contentedly and joined Calara in her nap.

Four hours later, Calara awoke from another deep and restful slumber. For the first time since her capture, she had been untroubled by the recurring nightmare and she felt well rested and alert. She sat up and was momentarily surprised to see she was flanked by John and Alyssa who were still asleep. She carefully climbed out of the bed, managing to avoid waking either of them and walked into their bathroom feeling full of energy and with a spring in her step. She looked longingly at the gorgeous bathtub, wishing she could use it herself and then giggled to herself quietly, knowing that Alyssa would insist on it.

She paced over to the big mirror as she steeled herself to look at her reflection, worrying how her swollen nose would look today. She was amazed to see that her nose looked just as it had before the break. She twisted her head from side to side to look at it from different angles, but it was back to its cute former self with no swelling in sight. 

Calara sighed happily and stretched her arms above her head without thinking. She suddenly flinched, anticipating the sharp pain such movement would normally trigger. She felt nothing though, and she tentatively tilted and rotated her upper body from side to side, astonished to find there was no pain from her ribs at all. Her toned tummy was looking a bit more rounded than normal and she sighed, thinking that all the bed rest couldn't have been good for her waistline. 

Finally she twisted her shoulders to try and look at her back. She wasn't sure, as she couldn't see clearly, but the welts and lacerations looked much less red and angry. She walked back to the bedroom, surprising herself at her confidence and feeling no sense of embarrassment at her nudity. 

Alyssa had awoken and she watched Calara as she walked confidently from the bathroom and climbed back on the bed. The brunette smiled at Alyssa happily and she moved in for a cuddle when the blonde teen opened her arms invitingly.

Alyssa rolled Calara so that the brunette was on her back and then leaned over her, checking her nose closely. "You look so much better!" she exclaimed with some satisfaction. "Please turn over so I can see your back" she asked politely. Calara rolled over obediently to lie on her tummy and she could feel her friend's fingers tracing lightly over her back. "Another day or two and these will be gone" Alyssa stated happily.

Calara rolled over on to her back again. "How?" she asked simply. She glanced to the side and saw that John had awoken too and was watching their interaction intently. 

"It's probably simpler to show you something first before we explain. It will make it easier to understand" he said reassuringly. 

He leaned over to the bedside table and picked up a remote. He moved to lie down again, but Calara urged him to sit in the middle of the bed, so that she could cuddle him on one side, with Alyssa snuggled in on the other. It felt right somehow and the brunette shared a contented smile with the blonde across his chest.

John smiled happily as he wrapped an arm around each lovely teenager. He passed the remote over to Alyssa as his hands were now full of nubile young women. Alyssa looked up at him knowingly and searched through the data dump from the Fool's Gold for the right files. She never ceased to amaze him with her ability to read his desires, she was incredibly perceptive.

After a few moment's pause, an image appeared at the foot of the bed. It showed a delightfully nude Alyssa, standing confidently with a beaming smile, in all her busty athletic glory. "You recognise that gorgeous girl, I'm sure" John said as Calara nodded happily.

A second image flashed up to the side. "But have you seen her before?" John asked curiously. This was the image taken over a month ago, the day that John had first met Alyssa. The image showed a ghostly pale, petite waif, looking malnourished and nervous. 

"Who is that?" Calara asked, her heart full of compassion for the poor girl in the image.

"That was me" Alyssa said in a quiet voice, sounding suddenly vulnerable.

Calara snorted in disbelief, her mind refusing to accept what was obviously some odd joke. However she went silent when she noticed something... the eyes. Those same piercing blue eyes stared out from each image. Calara moved out of John's embrace and moved to the foot of the bed to look more closely at the images. Now she had a familiar point of reference, she could see it was true, as she looked back and forth between the two images. Similar nose, mouth, jawline, ears, all just made more lovely and perfect.

"How?" she said again bewildered, turning and sitting down to face John and Alyssa.

"His cum" Alyssa explained. "I made a deal with John where I offered to service him whenever he wanted. After a few weeks of swallowing his loads, I went from that, to that" she said, pointing at the two images.

"But that's impossible!" Calara's mind balked at the idea.

"Is it?" Alyssa insisted. "Your nose is fully healed after only two days. I bet the medical staff told you it would take at least two weeks for the swelling to fully subside"

Calara reached up to her previously broken nose self consciously, before stopping and nodding her head in confirmation. She sat and pondered this startling revelation.

"So if I keep swallowing his cum, I'll end up looking like you?" she asked curiously.

"No, you will probably look like you. Just a slightly taller, bigger busted, more perfect version of your current athletic self I suspect" Alyssa theorised, her hand tapping her chin thoughtfully.

"Probably? That's not very reassuring" Calara smiled warmly at her friend.

"You're happy with the results so far though, right?" Alyssa asked. 

Calara nodded enthusiastically. 

"And you aren't mad at us?" John asked, worried about the lovely young Latina.

"I could never be mad at either of you" The pretty brunette said vehemently, making eye contact with each of them in turn, so they could see her sincerity.

John spread his arm wide welcomingly for her to join them again, and Calara grinned happily at him as she bounced over the covers to snuggle under the crook of his arm. They settled back into the bed as Alyssa turned off the Holo-images and then curled up cosily on the other side. John realised that his happy couple with Alyssa had now become the happy trio. He looked down at the blonde, wondering if she was going to be ok with the dramatic change in their living arrangements. The last thing he wanted to do was upset the beautiful blonde teenager, who he considered to be his soulmate.

Alyssa stared up at him with her deep blue eyes, as though looking into his soul. Her loving smile spoke of happiness and contentment and she linked hands with Calara before resting them lightly on his chest over his heart.

"Luckiest son of a bitch in the galaxy" he thought to himself delightedly.



Three Square Meals Ch. 09



The trio lay cuddled up together comfortably in bed. John and Alyssa were both greatly relieved that Calara had taken their surprising revelation so well.

"There is one thing though..." Calara said tentatively after a few moments.

"What is it Calara?" John asked, his voice tinged with concern.

"I still haven't seen the bridge yet! I'm not going to be much good as a Tactical Officer if you don't let me out of the bedroom" she said, grinning impishly.

Alyssa's musical laughter was joined by John's baritone chuckles. "Ok honey, we can go now if you want?" he offered obligingly.

Calara could barely contain her excitement as they got dressed. John waited patiently for the girls to leave the room, before following after them and turning off the lights as he left. The lovely teenagers headed down the corridor to the elevator, chatting animatedly and he admired the enticing sway of their hips as they walked. They stood together in the lift and the girl's chatter fell quiet as Calara's anticipation grew palpable.

The door to the elevator whirred quietly open and they walked out on to the bridge together for the first time. 

"Wow!!" Calara gasped, her big brown eyes like saucers as she took in the large oval shaped bridge. 

Alyssa darted nimbly up the illuminated steps to the command podium and sat in the Executive Officers chair. She pressed a couple of buttons on her console and the Tactical station, down and to the left of her, burst in to life. Two long curving consoles began to fill with a welcoming glow, as one control panel after another lit up. 

John walked up to the awestruck Latina's side and rested his hand reassuringly on her shoulder. 

"Take your post Lieutenant" he said to her quietly.

Calara turned to face him as she came out of her reverie. "At once Commander!" she said, her sharp salute and the intense look in her eyes silently conveying her deep respect for him.

Alyssa watched the two and rolled her eyes. She smiled, but stayed quiet, letting them have their moment.

John climbed the steps of the podium and sat in the Commander's chair, watching with a smile on his face as Calara eagerly strode towards her new station. She sat in the elaborate Tactical chair and pressed a sequence of buttons on the armrest, powering up her seat. Holographic targeting arrays sprang into being in front of her, as two illuminated controls slowly rose from the armrests.

Alyssa had brought the Holo-reader with her and she walked down to the Tactical station to offer it to Calara, just in case she needed it to learn how to use the controls. The brunette politely declined and so Alyssa just stood and watched intrigued as the brunette gripped the arm rest controls confidently with each hand.

"This is just like the simulator back at the Academy!", the brunette said excitedly. 

She pressed a couple of buttons and large holographic images sprang to life in the middle of the bridge, displaying tactical information for her crewmates to see. An image of the Invictus rotated slowly before them, looking sleek and menacing. Calara flipped a safety switch and then pushed a foreboding looking red button on the top of her right controller.

Armoured panels on the hull of the Invictus began to slide away, revealing the hidden arsenal beneath. 

"Weapons armed, Commander." Calara stated, following standard Terran Federation protocol.

"Laser defence net" Calara explained helpfully, as dozens of stubby Gatling lasers spun up, the Image of the Invictus showing their many overlapping fields of fire. "To take out missiles and fighters" she added for Alyssa's benefit, John already being familiar with the assault cruisers capabilities.

"Pulse lasers" Calara said, as the overhead image displayed the broad fire arcs of the turreted laser cannons. "Medium range and designed to take out lightly armoured targets" she clarified for the blonde teenager.

"Beam lasers" Calara stated, as she cycled through the massive firepower at her fingertips. "Long range and powerful enough to punch through heavy shielding". The rotating image in the centre of the bridge showed the six forward facing Beam lasers, each barrel over 30 metres in length. 

"Finally the Invictus' main guns" She said, with a gleam in her eye. She cycled through to the last setting, and two pairs of 200 metre long cannons were highlighted on the glowing holograph. It was obvious that the ship had been built around these enormous weapons, with power converters and ordnance feeding rooms built adjacent to them. 

"Mass drivers, for when you really want to fuck something up!" Calara exclaimed, her youthful exuberance momentarily getting the better of her military professionalism.

"Want to perform a fire test Lieutenant?" John asked, the young brunette's enthusiasm proving contagious. Calara nodded eagerly.

"XO, any asteroid belts near here?" he asked the beautiful blonde.

Alyssa strode purposefully back up to her console and began searching through the systems closest to their current location. 

"There's an uninhabited asteroid field in this system Commander" she replied, getting caught up in their excitement.

"Lay in a course please, Alyssa" John ordered.

A short while later, the Invictus dropped out of hyper warp, the exposed barrels looking like teeth bared in a snarl as it prowled closer to its unwitting victims. The unsuspecting asteroids drifted and rotated slowly, as though performing an intricate dance with one another.

Calara focused intently on the targeting grids in front of her. "Firing beams!" she said excitedly as her finger caressed the trigger on the right control. Six lances of coruscating energy blasted outwards and sliced an enormous tumbling asteroid in half. The chunks separated cleanly, each half glowing from the heat of the incision.

"Main guns!" She cried out, as she cycled through the weapons and unloaded the Mass drivers. The Invictus trembled with the recoil, as the 200 metre long magnetic coils accelerated the shells to Hyper warp velocity. Two sets of massive impacts punched into each of the split asteroid chunks causing spectacular craters, before the shells detonated a second later. The two halves of the asteroid detonated into a thousand pieces, devastated by the colossal explosions.

"Pulse lasers!" Calara gasped, as the turreted laser cannons began to track and vaporise the larger asteroid fragments in a cascade of bright energy blasts.

"Point defence!" Calara panted, as ribbons of laser fire erupted around the Invictus, the Gatling lasers opening up on the pitiful remnants of the once majestic asteroid.

Alyssa watched in awe as the destructive power of the Cruiser was finally unleashed. She had never before witnessed firepower of this magnitude and it scared her more than a little. She was lost in her thoughts as she looked out over the hazy field of gravel, all that remained of the once huge tumbling asteroid.

Calara's eyes shone with excitement as she grinned up at John, looking for his approval. He loved how vibrant and full of life she looked, as she thrilled at the chance to be in control of such a powerful ship. "Lieutenant, to my ready room" he ordered brusquely.

"Yes Commander" she gasped excitedly, as she practically ran to meet him when he stepped down from the command podium and they entered the adjoining room together. 

Alyssa's quiet contemplation was broken by the sound of excited feminine gasps and the rhythmic slap of flesh upon flesh. Coming back to full awareness, she laughed to herself as she brought up the Navigation display and set the ship off again on their previous course. She sat the Holo-reader on her console and followed its instructions, powering down the weapons and resealing the armoured hull of the Invictus. Once she was satisfied that everything was in order, she got up and followed the lusty noises coming from the Commander's ready room, unzipping the top of her form fitting jumpsuit as she went.

She found Calara kneeling on one of the sofas, grasping the back tightly in her hands. Her mouth hung open as she panted lustily, her head pulled back by John's strong left handed grip of her long dark hair. The beautiful Latina was nude and her skin glistened with sweat as John pounded in and out of her yielding body.

John's other hand was resting on the taut, coffee coloured skin of Calara's right ass cheek. He had thrust his entire length into her, right up to the Quad and then pulled back before driving forward again powerfully. The panting brunette moaned loudly as the broad crown of his weighty cock pushed deep into her body, stretching her pussy wide open to accommodate him. She let out a grunt as the invading monster forced its way deep into her belly, until its throbbing head was cradled snugly in her uterus.

Alyssa stepped over the hastily discarded piles of clothes and walked up to their side, running her hand under the panting brunette's body. Her delicate touch felt the warm bulge in the Latina's otherwise toned, flat stomach. 

"I can feel you deep in her womb John" She purred, massaging his jerking head gently as he held himself still, deep in Calara's body.

"Does it feel good breaking in another tight teenager?" She asked him provocatively.

"Uh-huh, She's gripping me like a fist!" he grunted, as he pulled back and drove forward again.

Calara cried out with pleasure, the innermost places of her body yielding to her man willingly.

"How about you honey?" Alyssa asked the lovely brunette. "Does it feel good?"

Calara tried to nod, but was unable to, what with her head pulled back and her body held so tightly in place. "His cock is so big... never had anything so deep in me before..." she groaned helplessly.

Alyssa got down on her knees and then ducked under John's swaying balls between his widely parted legs. He had the brunette's thighs spread wide open as he thrust away, so it meant that Alyssa had plenty of room to manoeuvre. She slid under Calara's body facing upwards, and arched her back so she could support John's throbbing balls on her big firm tits. She was at the perfect angle to see where his mighty girthed shaft had spread the Latina much wider than she ever had been before. The beautiful blonde lapped away at the tightly stretched skin, making it easier for her friend to take the pounding.

"Oooohhhhhh!" Calara moaned when feeling the soft, wet delicate touch on her overheated pussy.

The friction from where her body was gripping John's cock so snugly had been heating her up and the blondes tongue felt cool and soothing on her taut skin. She could only screw her eyes tightly shut and wail out her orgasm, when her beautiful blonde friend began to lap gently at her clit, the sensitive little organ throbbing uncontrollably.

John pushed inside the lovely brunette, enjoying the feel of her rippling pussy as it flexed along his length. He held still as far inside her as he could go and stopped to relish the rhythmic grip of her tight young body.

Alyssa backed off for a moment and as soon as Calara came down from one orgasm, the blonde's rapidly moving tongue was back and licking her clit again. The Latina could only scream with pleasure as her sensitive body reacted to Alyssa's unrelenting mouth and she writhed helplessly as she came hard a second time.

John held the spasming brunette tightly in place and enjoyed the sucking motions of her tight little pussy, as Alyssa made her come over and over again. As Calara sobbed through her fourth continuous climax, he felt Alyssa's tongue lick and caress his balls, as though encouraging them in their efforts. The stimulation from both the provocative teenagers was too much for him to resist and he felt his quad tense up as they prepared to unload.

"Aaaahhhh!" He groaned in time with Calara's yelping release, as he began to pump the athletic teenager full of his cum.

Alyssa had the perfect view to watch the massive cock throbbing purposefully as it delivered its precious cargo directly into the Latina's womb. She cradled the brunette's rapidly expanding stomach, as it provided a warm home for his hefty load of spunk. Eventually John's balls stopped twitching where they lay cradled on Alyssa's chest and she gently moved out from under them. 

John helped Calara flop down on the sofa, her breath ragged as she recovered from the relentless chain of orgasms. He collapsed on to the sofa at her side, resting his hand possessively on the taut skin of her olive toned stomach. 

"Massage her tummy for me please John?" Alyssa said as she gracefully slid between the brunette's limp legs and gently hooked them over her shoulders. She tentatively licked the exhausted teenager's swollen labia, while John's hand moved in firm but gentle circles over the girl's rounded young belly. Calara's body relaxed enough to gradually release his load and Alyssa sucked away at the brunette's pussy, enjoying the heady taste of his sweet spunk as she filled her stomach with his delicious seed. 

Eventually Calara's laden tummy had deflated and Alyssa rose from between the Latina's thighs, her cheeks bulging. She moved forward on to the sofa so she was kneeling astride the blissed out brunette and cupped her face in her hands, as she leaned in for a kiss. John could see Calara's throat move as she greedily swallowed the mouthful of cum Alyssa had just passed to her.

"Was the Commander ready for that?" Alyssa asked him with a lazy, well satisfied smile on her face.

John laughed good naturedly. "No honey, you're full of surprises!" he grinned.

They eventually regrouped in the shower, with Alyssa and John helping the exhausted Calara get squeaky clean. They took her back to their bedroom and the trio settled in for the night.

The next few days established a routine for the crew of the Invictus. Alyssa wanted to work on her marksmanship, so she spent most of her time training at the firing range. Calara was keen to spend more time getting familiar with her tactical station, so she spent a lot of her day on the bridge. John had used a lot of his time aboard the Fool's Gold performing cleaning and maintenance, but the Invictus had a suite of Cleaning Robots who scrubbed the floors meticulously clean. Even for someone with his exceptionally low tolerance for dirt onboard his ship, he had to admit they did a phenomenal job.

This meant John had a lot of free time to spend at the pool, which he was enjoying immensely. He had kept himself in pretty good shape by being so active on his freighter, but muscles he hadn't really used in years soon reminded him that he could do a better job with his fitness. 

The highlight of his day was meeting up with the girl's for meal times. They would chat and get to know each other better as they relaxed in the Officer's lounge. John enjoyed being able to have long, interesting conversations with Alyssa, as she didn't have her mouth full for a change. That honour belonged to Calara and Alyssa would stroke the girl's thick dark brown hair lovingly, as the beautiful Latina knelt between John's legs and bobbed her head in his lap. Calara was getting three massive meals a day and she loved running her hands over her cum packed belly after he topped her up. She marvelled at how her malleable body was able to expand to hold such a gut-busting feast and how her stomach reverted to its prior toned self a few hours later.

A week raced by and one morning Alyssa and John had a surprise for Calara. As soon as she was awake, they called her in to their walk-in-wardrobe and ushered her over to stand nude in the middle of the room. From here, the cunningly designed mirrors allowed the person in their focus to view themselves from all angles.

"They're all gone!" Alyssa clapped excitedly, causing Calara to twist around to look at her body in the reflections. 

The swelling on her nose had already cleared up completely a week before, as had the bruising around her ribs, but her flayed back had taken a good while to heal. She looked at the reflection of her back, amazed to see only beautiful, unblemished young skin. The girl's eyes filled up when she saw how thoroughly her friends had helped restore her body.

"Thank you so much, I feel so happy!" She said, on the verge of tears. The erasing of her scars felt like the horrible events from her past had been erased too. 

Alyssa stepped lithely up to the Latina and enfolded her in a warm hug, her own eyes filling with tears at the heart warming moment. John was only a step behind in moving to embrace his grateful young lover, when he stopped suddenly. He stepped back instead so that he could view both the nude teenagers clearly. Was he just letching you might ask? Well yes, but only because he had noticed some other significant changes in the young girl.

"Take another look at your body, Calara" he prompted gently. "Compare yourself with Alyssa".

The brunette looked a bit embarrassed, knowing she was nowhere near as hot as the ravishingly beautiful blonde. She reluctantly took another look in the mirrors as she stood at Alyssa's side, ready for the hopelessly unfair comparison.

"Oh my goodness!" She gasped in shock. 

Alyssa was very slightly taller at 5'9" compared to the Latina's new 5'8" height. Other than their distinctive, beautiful faces and their strikingly different skin tone, their youthful bodies were almost identical. 

They each had a set of large, firm 32D breasts, a slim waist and flared hips that resulted in a breathtaking hourglass figure. Their bottoms were round and pert, perfect globes that sat at the top of long, finely muscled, elegant legs. Their skin was perfectly smooth and free of all blemishes of any kind.

John walked around them both, whistling appreciatively as Calara modelled her gorgeous dusky hued figure in the mirrors.

"You both look stunningly beautiful" he said admiringly to the two teens, delivering his final verdict.

Alyssa smiled at him lovingly and moved gracefully to stand on his right side, matched in her movements by Calara who moved to his left. They stood on tip toe and each kissed one of his cheeks tenderly. He looked at his reflection, at the man smiling in wonder at the ravishing young women leaning in to kiss his face softly. He managed to tear his eyes away to watch the girls, as they walked back to the bedroom hand in hand, looking over their shoulders at him coyly.

He recognised that look and so did his cock. It rose to full hardness, eager to be pushed into the warm and welcoming embrace of the female flesh presented before him. 

He lost sight of them for a moment as they glided into the bedroom, so he strode after them to follow. He found the luscious girls standing by the side of the bed, waiting for him. He walked up to them, his heart beginning to beat faster as his body prepared for the activity to come. The beautiful teenagers were taller now than when he first met either of them, but at 6'2" he still towered over them both. 

He leaned down and gently kissed the exquisitely beautiful blonde, before switching to the gorgeously exotic brunette. His eager hands moved to caress each of their pert buttocks, their taut, wonderfully firm young flesh yielding to the strong and insistent grip of his massaging fingers. Both their hips began to writhe as they responded to their man's touch, their youthful bodies instinctively knowing that they were about to be used.

John broke away from Calara's lovely soft lips and both girl's looked up at him adoringly as they waited to see what he wanted to do next. He used his firm hold on the bottoms to gently push the two teenagers together, until their toned tummies were touching each other. From his vantage point above them, he could see four big tits below him. When they were pushed together, their nipples disappeared from view as the proud breasts swelled against each other. It was a breathtaking sight that made his cock throb excitedly.




Three Square Meals Ch. 09



Alyssa looked over at Calara lovingly and parted her lips invitingly. She ran her tongue over her lips making them nice and moist and the brunette sighed happily and leaned forward to brush her own soft lips against the blondes. The beautiful young women kissed passionately, communicating the love they felt for one another with each darting tongue and every breathy moan into each other's mouths. 

John could only stare in wonder at the two gorgeous girls he cared more about than anyone in the galaxy, as they kissed each other lovingly. He slid his hands lower below their bottoms and gently caressed a finger across each girl's clit, causing each teen to gasp excitedly. He stroked them both in a steady, insistent rhythm and he could see the girls panting into each other's mouths as they responded to his skilful touch. Their buttocks trembled against his wrists and they moaned helplessly as he brought them both nearer to orgasm. 

Calara and Alyssa stopped kissing for a moment and stared into each other's eyes as their man brought them closer to a shared climax. They could see their pupils were dilated with arousal and they panted lustily as John got them more turned on. Eventually as their breathing grew more laboured, their nipples on their heaving chests began to rub together in a most exciting way. 

"Ooooohhhh!" They moaned together, relishing the sensuous feel of their voluptuous bodies as they brushed up against each other.

Combined with John's relentless massage, the beautiful teenagers were powerless to resist the crashing orgasm that overwhelmed them and they hugged each other tightly as they came long and hard. John eased his finger back and gently slid them up inside each girl's tightly grasping pussy, enjoying the feel of their clutching grip as they rode out their climax.

Once their trembling had subsided, the two girls eased back and sighed contentedly as they looked at each other's lusty, heavy lidded gaze. They pulled John's head lower so that they faced each of his pointed ears. They began to whisper quietly in each ear, seductive, arousing things.

"I want to hear you moan, John" Alyssa murmured.

"I want to feel you throb in my mouth, John" Calara moaned.

"Would you like that? Two beautiful teenagers servicing you?" Alyssa purred.

"Show us both our place, John. We want to please you" Calara breathed.

John could barely contain his excitement, as he gently eased his buried fingers from each girl and then traced his hands up their slender, toned backs. He placed each hand on top of their heads and applied gentle downwards pressure, letting them know what he expected next.

The gorgeous teenagers looked up at him lustily and nodded compliantly as they sank to their knees on either side of his turgid member. They pushed their proud breasts closely together and then leaned forward obediently to gently lap at either side of his throbbing shaft. John's eyes nearly rolled into the back of his head at the feeling of their velvety soft tongues, as they stroked up and down his length. The girls tried to kiss each other around him, but his wide girth meant that their efforts were futile and their questing tongues just massaged him delightfully. He cupped both of their heads possessively in his hands, feeling their wonderfully soft hair beneath his fingers. 

The girls worked together perfectly, moving up and down his length in time with each other, their eyes meeting over the male tumescence between their lips, as they relished pleasuring their man at the same time. They eventually separated so that one was kneeling in front of him with her mouth over his engorged head, while the other lapped and caressed his quad, reassuring his balls that relief was soon on its way. They switched positions a few times and John's cock twitched and throbbed at their enthusiastic attentions. It was becoming too much for him to take however, so he held both of their heads in place and got them to look up at him.

"On the bed, now!" he commanded.

The teenagers thrilled at his demanding tone and move quickly and gracefully to obey. Calara lay on her back, her head towards him, her mouth open invitingly. Alyssa swung lithely over her supine friend and rested her big breasts on her friends yielding bosom.

"She's ready for you John, come and use her mouth!" Alyssa invited him lustily.

John shuffled forward, his painfully hard cock leading the way as he pushed his broad head between the Latina's welcoming lips. Calara had become an expert at deep-throating him now and was able to take his throat stuffing thrust with ease. She felt him push deep inside her body until her lips were wrapped around the base of his shaft and looked up to see his heavy quad swinging over head. She moaned hungrily, as John began to fuck her face.

"Does that feel good baby?" Alyssa purred to him, to which John could only nod his head tersely. 

"Don't worry, we'll empty those big balls for you" she crooned comfortingly as he rocked back and forth.

"Would you like to use me too?" Alyssa murmured, biting her lower lip coyly.

John groaned and pulled his weighty cock from Calara's clutching throat, before placing the angrily throbbing head between Alyssa's lips. He held her head in place with both hands as he pushed right down her gullet in one long, throat widening motion.

"Mmmmmm" Alyssa moaned appreciatively as her nose brushed against John's stomach and her chin grazed the top of his balls. She could see Calara's lovely dark haired head bobbing beneath her as the helpful Latina lapped at his balls.

John was seeing stars as the young girl's worked their magic on him. He couldn't hold out any longer.

"Aaaahh!" he bellowed as he thrust himself deeply into the accommodating blonde and began to fire long strings of semen straight down her throat and into her waiting stomach. After a half dozen belly expanding blasts, he pulled out of her throat, leaving a final spurt in her eagerly sucking mouth, before moving his jerking cock down to push into the waiting brunette. He slid up to the balls inside her yielding body and rode out the last of his orgasm filling her stomach with his cream.

"Oh fuck, that was amazing!" John shuddered, before he withdrew his wilting prick and collapsed on the bed on his back, his breathing ragged.

The girls smiled contentedly and kissed each other tenderly.

"We make a great team" Alyssa said lovingly to the brunette, enjoying the satisfyingly full feeling in her stomach.

Calara nodded her agreement and sighed happily as she looked up at the beautiful blonde, her own toned tummy rounded out with John's load. The girl's separated and moved lithely to flank either side of their man where they snuggled up against him contentedly.

The next couple of days proved uneventful until one afternoon, John persuaded Alyssa to come with him down to the pool and begin to learn how to swim. Alyssa trusted John unreservedly but she was still scared of the water, so it was with some trepidation that she followed him into the gym. They had only just started to get undressed, when a warning alarm began to flash from John's watch.

"Saved by the bell!" Alyssa grinned at John, zipping up her top again.

He smiled back and pressed a button on his watch, a hologram of Calara's lovely face appearing before him. 

"What is it Calara?" he asked the young Latina who was currently on the bridge.

"Long range sensors are picking up a distress beacon Commander!" she replied urgently.

John and Alyssa's eyes met and a look flashed between them. "Was this real or another trap?" they both wondered at the same time. They darted out of the gym and jogged to the elevator, dodging around a pair of cleaning robots as the automatons performed their duties in the hall.

A few moments later they stepped out of the lift onto the bridge and mounted the command podium taking two illuminated steps at a time.

"What do we know so far Lieutenant?" John asked.

"I'm picking up what looks like four ships, but three of them aren't broadcasting any transponder codes. The last one is a heavy freighter" The brunette reported.

"See if you can contact the freighter Calara" John replied. "Alyssa, plot an intercept course please".

The girl's leapt in to action, following his commands swiftly. The beautiful blonde was the first to respond. "Course laid in John, 3 minutes until we're in range".

John nodded his understanding as the Invictus surged forwards, as though eager at the opportunity for action.

"Commander, the Freighter is hailing us" Calara warned, "the distress beacon is coming from them".

John pushed a button on his console that answered the hail from the freighter. "This is John Blake, Commander of the Cruiser Invictus, what's the situation?" he asked tersely.

"Oh thank god!!" exclaimed a relieved voice, as a face appeared on the overhead view screen. The panicked face of a man appearing in front of them. "We're being attacked by pirates... slavers I think!".

"We'll be with you in two minutes, hold tight until then" John reassured the man, ending the conversation.

"Weapons hot Lieutenant!" John ordered, his strong unwavering voice filling both girls with confidence.

Calara activated the ships weaponry and the armoured panels on the Invictus slid open, baring its fangs. The ship was thirsty for blood.

They surged forward, the Cruisers massive engines throbbing with power and Calara was able to pick up more information on the pirates as they closed in.

"A Lexon class Frigate and two bulk corvettes, sir!" she exclaimed, hitting a button to show the marauding pirate ships as they pursued the limping heavy freighter. They could see the rear of the freighter was pock marked with numerous craters, where the pirates had tried to disable the engines with weapons fire.

"XO raise shields" John commanded, before hitting a button that would hail the pirate ships.

"Pirate vessels, cease all hostile actions and power down and you will be spared" John ordered curtly.

"Go fuck yourself jerkwad!" came the well reasoned reply from the Frigate.

John shrugged to himself. If they wanted to sign their own death warrant, so be it. "Fire at will Lieutenant!" he ordered.

Calara was focusing intently on the holographic targeting matrix in front of her and her finger carefully depressed the trigger on the right control. Six scintillating beams of energy punched into the Frigate, overloading it's shields in a single devastating strike and following through to shear off the rear quarter of the ship. Without its engines to hold it steady, the frigate began to slowly tumble forward in a roll, still maintaining its previous momentum.

The Invictus bore down inexorably as the bulk corvettes began evasive manoeuvres, desperate to escape from the lethal warship.

"Remaining ships attempting to withdrawn Commander. Orders?" Calara asked.

"You know the penalty for piracy Lieutenant" John replied firmly. "Finish them" he said, his sombre voice sounding their death knell.

Calara nodded grimly and the corvettes came under attack from a withering hail of pulse laser blasts. Their weak shields managed to deflect the first couple of impacts, but they were totally outclassed by the military grade laser cannons and soon collapsed. The fleeing pirate hulls lit up from the concentrated firepower and both ships exploded practically simultaneously. 

Alyssa brought the Invictus around so that it was directly astern of the crippled Frigate. She could see escape pods blasting clear of the ship, as the pirates frantically deserted the doomed craft. Calara caressed the trigger and the beam lasers cored through the length of the frigate, causing the front of the ship to explode outwards, scattering glowing debris in a wide arc.

"Excellent work ladies" John said, nodding in satisfaction. He hit a button on his console to hail the freighter.

"Oh thank you Commander!" the merchant Captain said as his grateful face filled the viewscreen. "You saved us all!" he gasped happily.

"My crew did the hard work, but we appreciate your thanks" John replied affably "Can you make it to your destination from here?"

"We took a little damage, but nothing too serious. We should be fine from here, thanks once again" the merchant said, giving them a friendly wave. 

Calara deactivated the ships weapons and the Invictus' armoured hull resealed itself, the cruiser satiated for the moment. Alyssa adjusted their course for the minor detour and the ship leapt into Hyper-warp once again.

"Girls, to my ready room please" John requested quietly.

The two teenagers got up and walked to the Commander's private room, both somewhat lost in their thoughts. John entered the room first and waved them over to one of the comfortable sofas and he moved to join them, sitting opposite.

"You handled yourselves like seasoned veterans, I'm very proud of you both" he commended the young women. 

"More importantly though, how are you both feeling?" he asked gently, concerned how they would react after their first combat.

"The corvettes could crew 20 people each and the frigate over 50" Calara said in a grim voice. "I'm probably responsible for the deaths of nearly 100 people" she said, her voice leaden as the enormity of her actions began to sink in. She started to tremble.

"You've seen first-hand what pirates are like" John countered. "Think of it more like wiping out vermin" he suggested, as he moved to sit by the brunettes side and wrap his arm around her shoulder comfortingly.

"More importantly..." Alyssa interjected. "There were 34 crewmen on board that Heavy freighter, good people who had never harmed anyone. You helped save them all from a horrible fate" she said approvingly as she hugged her friend as well.

Calara took a deep breath and let it out slowly, nodding her head as she took in their encouraging words and realising she was proud of her actions today.

"How about we go have a drink?" John suggested "To celebrate our first good deed in the Invictus".

Calara and Alyssa smiled up at him and nodded eagerly. "Ok then ladies, let's go get pissed!" he grinned at the teenagers. 

As they were heading out of the room, he touched Alyssa's arm, holding her back. "Calara, could you go rack up the drinks please, we'll be along in a moment" he requested politely. The brunette nodded enthusiastically and headed towards the elevator.

Alyssa turned to him with a raised eyebrow "What's up John?" she asked curiously.

"You're taking our first ship-to-ship combat remarkably well" John said, his voice tinged with concern. "I just want to make sure you're really ok?"

Alyssa shrugged nonchalantly "I trust you with my life. You gave orders and I followed them". 

Seeing his startled expression at her declaration of unquestioning obedience, she went on "You're a good man John" she declared, "I know the decisions you make are going to be the right thing to do" she said, caressing the side of his face gently.

"Putting it simply; we killed some bad guys, we saved some good guys. It's pretty black and white in this case" she said, reading his thoughts and seeing that he thought the exact same way about their encounter.

"So let's go get drunk!" She grinned at him happily "who knows how you might take advantage of us young women?" she smiled up at him, lightening the mood.

John laughed at her unassailable positivity. "Ok honey, let's go" he grinned back at her. 

The trio reconvened in the Officer's lounge, with Calara playing bartender. She grabbed bottles of vodka, soda water and lime and mixed up some refreshing cocktails for herself and Alyssa. She chucked an expensive bottle of whiskey John's way and he smiled happily at her as he caught it deftly. His glass clinked merrily when he dropped in a couple of ice cubes and he then poured himself a drink.

The three of them brought the bottles with them and curled up on a comfy sofa, the bottles sitting ready on the coffee table in front of them. The girls got John to tell them about his old war stories and he regaled them with tales of boarding actions and intense fire-fights. He didn't bother to sugar coat his stories as he would for civilians, he figured they deserved to know the realities that war could sometimes bring. The girls sat enraptured by his stories, amazed at how much he had been through in 10 years of military service.

They got progressively drunker as the evening went on, eventually dissolving into fits of laughter as the topic of conversation changed to lighter subjects. It turned out Calara knew a lot of dirty jokes and she had the other two in stitches with her ribald humour. John's face muscles began to ache from laughing so hard for so long. 

Close to midnight after several hours of boozing, John sat in-between the two girls as they looked out at the twinkling stars in the endless sea of blackness in front of them. Calara and Alyssa were curled up under his arms, enjoying the view and the quiet peace of the moment.

"I never realised I could be this happy" John said suddenly, his voice catching.

The young women looked up at him adoringly. "I love you John" they both said at the same time, triggering smiles on their beautiful faces as they glanced across at each other happily.

"I love you too" he said, smiling down at them both fondly.

The merry trio walked back to the Commander's quarters on wobbly legs and collapsed together on the bed in a drunken tangle of limbs. They were all asleep practically as soon as their heads hit the pillow. John had had such a great night, he didn't even regret not taking advantage of his lovely young bedmates.

They awoke the next morning as one normally does after going on a big bender. Quietly, so as not to aggravate a throbbing headache. John and the girls gulped down some painkillers and had a light breakfast before returning to bed for a late morning nap to sleep it off. They re-emerged around noon and John persuaded the girls to join him down in the gym. 

Somewhat nervous, Alyssa followed behind Calara and entered the leisure area of the ship. Calara was a confident swimmer, so had no qualms about being around a pool. John had come down to the gym earlier to set up "a surprise", which he convinced Alyssa was not going to be a bad one this time. When he saw the teenagers enter the gym, he strode over to them and led them to the area behind the pool. He had activated the Jacuzzi and the warm bubbly water gurgled at them enticingly. 

They all stripped off their clothes and John climbed in first and helped a nervous Alyssa step after him in to the large tub. Calara slid gracefully into the frothing water moments later and the three of them relaxed on the submerged benches, feeling the gentle streams of bubbles massaging their skin. 

"This feels amazing!" Alyssa sighed happily as she reclined in the lovely warm water. 

"See, not so scary after all" John smiled at her, pleased that she was enjoying herself. 

He had an amazing view as he looked to his side. The girls were sitting next to each other and as they relaxed back in the pool, their firm youthful breasts stood proudly out of the water, two sets of nipples looking soft and kissable. He tried not to focus on them too much and just enjoy the relaxing warm water, but his cock ached at the thought of being adjacent to so much ripe young female flesh.

Alyssa knew exactly what he was thinking of course. She enjoyed his attention and posed for him subtly, without letting him know that she was on to him. The beautiful young blonde found that she was tuning in to John's thoughts every chance she could. So much so, that it felt like she had a little part of her mind set aside just for him and she revelled in his constant, reassuring presence. 

She had found it difficult separating from him to go and train in the firing range, the absence of his thoughts feeling like a dark hole in the mind-space that she had reserved for him. It had felt almost painful to travel more than 10 metres from his side, when his wonderful presence suddenly winked out and went silent.




Three Square Meals Ch. 09



Every morning she sat quietly in the firing range and focused herself, the same way she had seen John do from time to time. Once she had cleared her thoughts and centred herself, she tried to reach out to find him once again, her mind yearning for the contact. 

The first couple of days had been frustrating and had not borne fruit, but by the third day she was able to reconnect with him when he was in the gym. It was on the same deck, but still a good 50 metres away which was a huge improvement and she was overjoyed as his inner voice resonated in her mind once again. She kept at the routine every morning, trying to connect with him across decks and on the other side of the ship and by the fifth day she had managed to extend her connection to him to such an extent that she could hear him wherever he was on the ship.

As Alyssa relaxing in the soothing water, revelling in the close proximity to her man and her loving friend Calara, she was startled when she felt another budding presence suddenly appear in her mind. This new presence was tiny and embryonic and consisted purely of heartfelt emotions: Love, happiness, contentment, acceptance. Alyssa examined it closely and recognising it for what it was, decided to reserve it a tiny little spot of its own in her mind, for her to nurture it and watch it grow. 

Eventually John's lusty thoughts were growing loud and insistent, so Alyssa decided to put her poor man out of his misery. She rose from the Jacuzzi like Venus from the sea, John's eyes snapping to her beautiful form as the water dripped from her glistening body. She held out her hand for Calara to take.

"Come on Calara, I think we should set up our own surprise for John to reward him for this one"

The stunning brunette rose obediently and joined Alyssa in climbing out of the Jacuzzi. They sashayed out of the gym together, hand in hand, with Alyssa turning to call to John just before they left.

"Meet us in the officer's quarters in 15 minutes!" the ravishing blonde temptress called to him.

It was the longest 15 minutes of John's life. Alyssa was correct the other day when she joked that she had been spoiling him. He was used to her or her equally beautiful young compatriot tending to his needs morning, noon and night. They had got very drunk yesterday evening, were hung over this morning and it was now well past noon. Not only that, he had been only inches away from glorious nude temptation all morning. He felt so full, he was sure his quad was about to explode under the pressure. 

He formed a meditative pose, trying not to bump his painful taut balls in the process and concentrated on clearing his mind and relaxing. He wasn't sure whether he would be able to do it, he was wound up so tight, but the warm bubbly water was soothing and relaxing and helped him centre himself. He glanced up at the wall mounted clock and saw that it was time. He climbed smoothly out of the Jacuzzi before heading out of the gym, not bothering to pick up his clothes.

He took the elevator up to the second deck and when the door opened to the corridor, he saw that the lights were out. He stepped out of the lift and as the brightly illuminated elevator closed behind him, he was plunged into blackness. It took his eyes a few seconds to adjust and then he realised it wasn't pitch black, there was actually a dim flickering light coming from one of the nearby officer's rooms. He walked towards the light, his curiosity peaked.

John rounded the corner and looked into the room. It was a large room like all the others on this deck, but this one was different. The entire room was lit by candlelight, the warm flickering glow from the circle of candles sending red and gold sprites dancing across the ceiling. All the furniture had been removed apart from what looked like a big mattress on the floor in the middle of the room, covered by some kind of smooth surface instead of the normal bedding. Finally, the centrepiece of the display was the two oil slicked teenagers standing coyly in the middle of the bed. Their lubricated skin glistened alluringly in the flickering light and they looked slippery, pliant and oh so very willing, as they looked at him with lusty desire in their eyes. His carefully gained focus nearly shattered in an instant, before he managed to just about regain control of himself.

"Come in John" Alyssa purred seductively, welcoming him into their abode.

"We set up a playroom for this special occasion, I hope you approve" she looked at him with her eyebrow arched questioningly.

He could only nod mutely. 

"Calara has a wonderful gift that she would like to give to you and I thought we should celebrate with our own little ceremony" Alyssa explained enticingly.

"I'm still a virgin in one place" Calara murmured shyly, "I'd like you to be the first and only man to take me there".

John's erection returned with a vengeance, his length was hot, hard and throbbing with need at the enchanting invitation laid out for him. He was drawn into the room by the captivating sirens standing before him and he was pulled towards them by their bewitching gaze. He couldn't remember crossing the room, but soon he was looming over them as they looked up at him trustingly. He reached out to place a hand on each of their curved hips, the oil slicked skin feel slippery and delicious under his finger tips. He applied gentle pressure and the teenagers moved obediently, standing to face one another. They smiled warmly at each other as John pushed softly at the small of their backs, encouraging them to move forward to embrace each other. 

The girls stepped forward until their toned tummies were touching, feeling warm and soft where they rubbed against each other. Their wonderfully round and firm breasts pressed together, causing each girl to shiver at the slippery sensation and then gasp, as their nipples grew hard when they slid across silky smooth young tit flesh. John moved his hand down under their bottoms and began to stroke each of their excited young clits. Alyssa and Calara leaned together to kiss passionately and moaned into each other's soft searching mouths as he rubbed them closer to orgasm. They clung to each other and shivered with pleasure as John brought them to an amazing climax. Eventually they recovered and turned to lean against him, whispering their thanks.

John revelled in the feel of their slippery and pliant teenage bodies as two sets of large firm young breasts slid enticingly across his chest. His cock pulsed in time to his racing heart as his prick yearned to be encased in a receptive young woman. John let his hands move up from their pussies, so that his fingers were circling each of the girls rosebuds. Calara breathed heavily her eyes closed with anticipation, while Alyssa looked up, watching his reactions carefully through lusty eyes. Both teens gasped as he gently pushed a slippery finger into their tight, lubricated channels.

"Does that feel good John?" Alyssa murmured, clenching his finger with her anus.

He nodded his agreement.

"Widen her out a little first, let her get used to being stretched" She encouraged.

John eased another finger into each slick teenager.

"Mmmm that's good" Alyssa moaned. 

"Relax for him baby" she whispered to Calara, "Show him how much you trust him".

At the blondes encouraging words, the brunette visibly relaxed, letting John push two fingers deep inside her incredibly tight passage. 

"Now stroke those fingers in and out, let her body get used to being violated this way" she encouraged him. 

"Gently, that's good" she murmured as John carefully pushed his fingers in and out of both girls. Calara moaned into his shoulder, enjoying the new sensations as he massaged her incredibly tight hole and got her used to his intrusion.

"Mmm, she's ready now John" Alyssa sighed, enjoying the insistent stroking of his fingers in her body too.

John gently removed his fingers and the girls stepped back from him and then knelt gracefully on the large bed. Alyssa lay down on her back, her oil slicked skin sliding slightly on the bed covering. She opened her arms invitingly and the Latina knelt in between her splayed thighs, before dropping down to press her big firm breasts to sit on top of the blondes pert proud chest. Alyssa's hands moved down to Calara's round firm buttocks and gently prized them apart, allowing John to see his glistening prize for the first time.

The candlelight flickered around the room and highlighted the wonderfully firm muscles of the Latina's olive hued back. Her back arched as her breasts slid across the supine young woman beneath her and Calara gasped when Alyssa's strong hands parted her cheeks, allowing John to see her rosebud.

John knelt behind the beautifully presented young woman, unable to hold off any longer from his desire to penetrate her. He carefully nuzzled the blunt head of his cock at the Latina's slippery rear hole, the target highlighted by Alyssa's white hands spreading the round coffee coloured cheeks. He applied gentle but insistent pressure, to let Calara know she was about to be stretched tighter than ever before.

"That's a good girl" Alyssa crooned to the Latina. "Relax for our man, let him inside you". She looked up as the brunette nodded gently, her mouth slightly parted as she panted lustily. John pushed forward and Alyssa helped him by holding the girls firm cheeks wide open to allow him full access to his target. 

"Unnnnhhhh!" Calara grunted as John's lubricated cock pushed its way inside her body, stretching the tight band of her anus wide open around his broad head. He held still with just his first few inches encased in the glorious tightness of the Latina's snugly gripping hole.

Alyssa relaxed her grip on Calara's buttocks, letting the oil slicked cheeks snap back to their normal pert position. The firm cheeks of that toned bottom trembled as they bounced back together, looking and feeling wonderful to John who wanted nothing more than to drive hard into that cushiony pillow. Alyssa's helpful hands began to slide over Calara's delightfully soft skin as she glistened in the candlelight. Alyssa brought her hands forward to take each of the brunette's juicy tits in her hands and squeezed them energetically, pinching her nipples. 

"Ooohhhhh!" Calara gasped, distracted by the rough mauling her breasts were receiving at the hands of the beautiful blonde lying underneath her. Her nipples being tweaked distracted her from her focus on her tightly stretched ass and she relaxed back there for a moment. John felt her body yield to him and so he pushed another few inches into the lovely brunette.

"Unnnhhh!" Calara groaned, as her rectum adjusted to the huge invader pushing its way into the unexplored parts of her body. She tensed up for a moment, unused to the strange feelings of something being pushed in to her body in that tight tunnel. There wasn't any pain, she just felt full, stretched and exposed.

Alyssa saw the gorgeous brunette tense as her body got used to being taken in this strange and novel new way. She decided to help her friend again and her oil slicked hand moved off Calara's heaving breast and slid effortlessly down the Latina's ribcage, to then skate down under her belly. With Calara's back arched, her toned little tummy was resting on Alyssa's own firm stomach and the blonde briefly wondered just how many gallons of John's delicious cum they had eagerly swallowed down between them. Her searching hand slid lower until she found Calara's swollen little nubbin and her slicked finger glided over it smoothly.

"Oooohhhh!" Calara moaned as her beautiful blonde lover gently caressed her clit. 

She arched her back even further and squeezed her eyes tightly closed as intense pleasure washed over her. The world closed off around her until all she could concentrate was the insistent stroking of delicate female fingers over her clit and the throbbing, hot, turgid shaft currently stretching out her body in ways it had never had to before. She relaxed as she felt the rising wave of her climax fast approaching.

"Unnnnnnhhhhhh!" She groaned loudly as John steadily pushed every last inch of his massive cock into her pliant body, taking advantage of her relaxing state. The relentless invader forced her to uncoil and stretch around him as he drove his length deep into her belly. 

Calara's mouth opened in a silent scream as at the same moment, Alyssa rapidly stroked her fingers over her throbbing clit. The Latina's body writhed as she was overcome with the intensity of her orgasm.

John held on to Calara's delightfully flared hips and he looked down to see where his thick cock was pushed into her as far as it would go. Her tightly stretched ring gripped him snugly at the base of his cock and her body massaged him wonderfully as her tight passage rippled with her climax. He took in the lovely arch of her back, the indentation of her spine running in a perfect straight line from her tousled brown mane right down to her flared hips. The muscles of the girl's spectacularly toned, athletic body flexed and moved smoothly under her alluring Olive skin and he loved the way she glistened in the candlelight. 

Alyssa had outdone herself this time he thought to himself. She had prepared the exquisite Latina like some kind of primitive sacrifice to the old gods and he relished being the one to accept the wonderful offering from the beautiful young supplicant.

Calara sat up on her haunches, her taut, round little buttocks fitting snugly into John's lap. She kept herself arched as she sat up, so that her back was resting smoothly against his chest and her head turned to her side, so that he could lean forward and kiss her yearning lips. She panted into his mouth as he gradually eased back an inch, before pushing into her again as far as she could go. He could see the concentration on her face as she forced her body to relax and yield to his desires, making herself as welcoming and available to him as she could.

Alyssa moved smoothly with Calara as the brunette reared up to kiss their man and the blonde admired the way the two of them looked together. She marvelled at the powerful muscles in John's biceps and his impressive masculine physique contrasted with the gentle way he stroked and caressed the dusky hued girl he was taking. Calara was a strong, athletic girl, but John's muscular arms were at least three times as big as the lithe and toned Latina's. It was like he was a hulking dangerous beast that the girls had somehow managed to tame with their perfect young bodies.

Snapping out of her lustful dazed thoughts, Alyssa ran her hands over Calara's heaving, lubricated breasts. The brunette moaned helplessly as John held her in place and began to take longer and longer strokes into her body. 

"Unh" She gasped as he pushed himself smoothly up to the hilt inside her again.

"Unhh" She grunted when he pulled back and then drove himself forward again.

"Unnnnhhh!" She groaned as he began to pummel her yielding body in a relentless, steady rhythm.

John was really working the tight Latina's ass now. Her buttocks quivered in his lap every time he thrust forward and slapped into them. They were delightfully firm and felt wonderful as he pushed into her yielding teenage flesh. He held Calara tightly to him, enjoying hearing her gasps and cries of pleasure as he established his dominance over her eagerly offered young body. Using his firm grip on her waist, he rocked her up and down, letting her glorious coffee coloured body bounce in his lap as he used her snug little ass to stroke himself closer to orgasm.

Alyssa's hips writhed as she watched John buggering her friend with smooth driving strokes. Calara was taking him perfectly, her elastic young body stretching wide to welcome in their man and the blonde could tell they were both working towards an explosive climax. She moved her hand down from the girl's heaving chest and ran her fingers over the perfect oval of Calara's toned tummy. Alyssa gently spread the brunette's smooth labia and began to rub the Latina's clitoris in time with the lunging drives of John's hips.

"Aaaahhhhhh!!" Calara screamed as she came, her body reacting to her blonde friend's skilful touch. Her tight passage undulated along John's length and constricted as tightly as it could around the pulsating invader that was punched deep into her belly.

"Ahhhh yeah!!" John bellowed as the rippling sensations of Calara's ass overcame his ability to hold out any longer. He held her hips perfectly still, pinning her in place as his own hips thrust back and forth mechanically. His taut quad was quivering with need and it felt almost painful when the first powerful shot of cum blasted out of him into the beautiful girl kneeling before him.

"Oh, I can feel him shooting in me!" Calara moaned powerlessly, as she knelt submissively in front of her man and his convulsing shaft jerked and throbbed deep inside her.

"That's good" Alyssa whispered in her ear as she stroked Calara's toned stomach "Relax and let him fill you". 

Calara nodded faintly, her hypersensitive body still tingling from her climax. Her belly began to round out as John's jets of cum pumped into her ass, packing her teenage form with copious amounts of spunk. Alyssa felt the Latina's stomach round out as she provided a new home for his heavy, hot load. Calara looked relaxed and compliant as she knelt in front of their man, as he used the tight little grip of her anus to stroke out every last drop of cum from his balls.

Finally spent, John eased gently out of Calara, watching her tight little knot of muscle seal up firmly as his exhausted cock left her hot embrace. He collapsed on to the bed and the girl's joined him, with Alyssa helping Calara lie back with the awkward, beach ball sized sphere her slender young belly had become. The beautiful blonde had been riding her own powerful wave of pleasure as she felt John climax across their empathic bond. They all relaxed together and just concentrated on regaining their breath as they basked in the afterglow of such an intense orgasm. 

Eventually Calara excused herself as her gravid belly rumbled forebodingly and she disappeared into the bathroom, leaving Alyssa and John resting comfortably together. When she returned, restored to her svelte form, they doused all the candles and cleaned up the room before retiring to the huge shower in the Commander's quarters. 

John stood under the soothing jets of warm water, holding Calara in his arms and he felt Alyssa's soft young body pressing up against his forearms when she snuggled in behind the Latina. He uncoiled his arms and then used them to encircle the blonde as well. Both girls looked up at him happily as they stood in his protective embrace. 

Tired out from all the frenzied activity, they had a relaxing meal together in the Officer's lounge before cuddling up in bed for the night. Calara snuggled in on John's left hand side and ran her hand lovingly over Alyssa's soft long hair, as the beautiful blonde teenager eagerly took John's firm cock into her throat. Alyssa worked smoothly and efficiently to empty his balls for the night, but she saved some to give to Calara when they shared a goodnight kiss. John's eyes closed in bliss as they ended yet another incredible day.

Alyssa awoke the next morning, feeling happy and alert. The fresh faced teenager had awoken first and she waited patiently for her lovers to rouse from their own slumbers. When they did, she kissed each of them tenderly in turn, her soft lips speaking wordlessly of her love for them both. Sighing contentedly, John and Calara looked up at Alyssa as she sat up in bed captivatingly nude.

"Now I have your attention..." she smiled down at them coyly, "I wanted to talk to you about my past and why I want to travel back to Karron".



Three Square Meals Ch. 10



Alyssa looked down over her lovers and saw that she had their undivided attention. They listened to her eagerly, intrigued to learn more about the beautiful blonde girl they cared so much about.

"As you know, I grew up on Karron. It's a bleak inhospitable place, a massive asteroid that's been gradually hollowed out as the mines have dug deeper. Slums have built up in the old abandoned tunnels and there's thousands of people living there now."

Calara didn't know much about Alyssa's history at all, so she lay there enraptured by the tale. John nodded encouragingly for the beautiful blonde to continue. 

"My mother died shortly after childbirth" she began. "My father was a miner and died in a mining accident when I was six years old" she said, continuing with her tragic tale.

"He was a good man, but we lived on the breadline even when he was working. After he was gone, I had nothing and no-one to turn too, so I was put in an orphanage" she said, her exquisite mouth twisting with distaste.

"In a terrible, dangerous place like Karron, there's no end of orphans and the orphanage was cramped and overcrowded. I stuck it out there for a couple of years, but the vicious bullying made it as bad a place to be as the streets, so I left".

"I tried begging and scavenging for a while, just barely managing to get enough food to stay alive. By the time I hit eleven and had started to physically mature, I learned I had to watch out for other kinds of predators" She continued grimly.

"When times got really bad, I..." she paused, struggling to go on for a moment. Calara got up and knelt at Alyssa's side, offering her a comforting arm around her shoulders. John laid his hand reassuringly on her leg, his heavy grip feeling warm, reassuring and supportive.

Alyssa continued haltingly, "...sometimes I did what I had to do to survive. Some men were nice, some weren't..." she shuddered involuntarily.

Calara and John were shocked. They had no idea their warm and bubbly young companion had experienced such a horrific start in life. John hadn't know his parents, but at least he had grandparents who had loved him dearly and had looked after him in his formative years. Calara's family were career military and she had had a strict but enjoyable upbringing, living with her loving parents and three older brothers.

"Anyway, I'm sure I would have ended up getting killed by some deranged miner, but that's when I met Sparks" For the first time in her tale, Alyssa's lovely face brightened. 

"I was 14 years old when I first met her. Sparks was the same age as me and we ran into each other scavenging in a junk pile. Sparks is extraordinarily gifted at fixing and working with machines and she was looking for parts. I offered to help, having no idea what I was looking for and we soon became great friends." Alyssa smiled wistfully at the memories.

"Sparks was an orphan too, but her skills at fixing things made her useful to one of the gangs. She was kind of adopted by the Diablo's and she kept their gear in good shape in exchange for food. She used to share with me and in exchange I'd go collecting parts for her" she said fondly.

"I kept my head down and managed to survive, largely thanks to Sparks. I never had to... get extra money, ever again. Unfortunately one of the gangers took a shine to me... there was an incident and I had to escape. That's when I boarded your freighter John and now here I am"

John opened his arms for Alyssa, wanting to hold her in his arms and reassure her that nothing bad was ever going to happen to her again. The beautiful blonde smiled warmly at him, and moved in to cuddle up at his side, with Calara moving in to embrace her friend from behind. Alyssa could feel the brunette shuddering as she tried to suppress her tears at hearing her lovers terrible tale. Alyssa could sense overwhelming sadness tinged with heartfelt love and compassion coming from the young woman. The blonde reached back to stroke the Latina's leg comfortingly.

"Thank you for telling me your story Alyssa" John said gently. "I'm sorry you had such an appalling start in life".

The lovely blonde kissed him softly. "It wasn't your fault, you have nothing to apologise for. I appreciate your kind thoughts though" she said, smiling up at him lovingly.

"So what prompted you to tell us about it now?" He asked curiously.

"Well we're only a day from Karron now and I know we're going there mainly for more Tyrenium, but I wanted to ask you two if you would mind another passenger?" she asked tentatively.

"Another passenger, what do you mean?" John asked curiously.

"Sparks" Alyssa said succinctly. "I owe that girl my life and I think she'd make a great crewmember here. She's amazing with machines and I think she could be really useful".

"Besides... " she went on, her voice trembling with emotion. "I'd like to save her from Karron. She's too special to waste another day in that shithole".

John looked over Alyssa's shoulder and made eye contact with Calara, who nodded her agreement eagerly, a warm smile on her face.

"Who am I to argue with my XO?" John smiled at Alyssa playfully. "She is in charge of recruitment after all!"

Alyssa laughed gaily, relief washing over her as her musical laughter filled the room.

"Thank you John, it means a lot to me" she thanked him sincerely, her voice full of emotion.

"No problem" he smiled at her fondly. "Besides, look how well your last hire turned out!"

Calara grinned at them and they cuddled up together happily.

"Hey Calara" Alyssa asked "Do you think we should be worried?"

"Worried, why?" Calara asked, suddenly concerned.

"Well John just agreed to expand our crew. Maybe us two aren't enough to satisfy him anymore?" the mischievous blonde said playfully.

"Hey wait a minute!" John cut in "I didn't mean it like that!"

Calara sat up and played along "Maybe we should show him we can still be his good girls and take care of him properly" she said to Alyssa. "We're sorry you had to miss an emptying the other day" she frowned in apology to John, gently stroking his quad.

The girls moved smoothly as one so that Calara was lying on her back with Alyssa astride her, their lovely firm breasts pressed together. They closed their eyes and presented him with two soft pouting mouths shaped into ovals. 

John's denials died abruptly when he saw the gorgeous teenagers offering themselves up for him like that. His rapidly growing erection led the way as he shuffled over and sank into Alyssa's welcoming mouth, bottoming out deep in her accommodating throat. He held her head dominantly as he began to stroke in and out, delighting at the soft wet touch of Calara's tongue as she licked each of his balls in turn.

"You are good girls" he said earnestly as he pulled back out of the young blonde's mouth and then aimed lower and pushed forward into the exquisite tightness of Calara's proffered throat. He thrust his hips until her lovely lips encircled the base of his shaft, his balls hanging directly above her. Alyssa kissed his stomach tenderly and then sat up to kiss him on the mouth as he fucked the pretty brunette's face.

"Doesn't that feel better John?" she asked him rhetorically, before giving him a heated kiss. Alyssa enjoyed hearing his breathing get more uneven as he started losing control and she broke away from the kiss and looked him in the eyes.

"Now remember to share, we both want a nice breakfast" she said naughtily.

She lowered herself down again so her nipples were brushing Calara's and lovingly kissed his stomach, waiting patiently for his creamy load.

John panted as he got more turned on. He had not one, but two lovely teenagers eager to service him and now Alyssa wanted to add a third? That thought drove him over the edge and his balls tensed up, ready to deliver their hefty contents. He hunched forward as he came, holding on to Alyssa's shoulders to keep his balance. 

The lovely blonde teen was looking down directly over Calara and she was fascinated to watch her olive toned neck throb in time with the jerking of John's cock, as he pumped his load directly into the gorgeous Latina's empty stomach. Alyssa could feel the brunette's toned abdomen start to rise underneath her own slim tummy, as spurt after heavy spurt rounded out the young girl's belly. She saw the bulge in Calara's neck begin to move back up and Alyssa knew excitedly that it would be her turn soon. 

She moved down so her mouth was practically on top of Calara's, so John could switch girls without spilling a drop. His broad head was suddenly pushing at her lips and a blast of sweet tasting cum filled her mouth. She swallowed it down as his massive cock glided over her tongue and then began sliding effortlessly down her throat, his way lubricated by the slick layer of cum. Alyssa made sure he was deep inside her with her lips wrapped around his root and she suckled at him, coaxing him to empty every last sperm out of his balls and into her belly. She made sure to swallow continuously so that her throat would massage his length and heighten his orgasm.

John groaned as his taut balls finally stopped flexing, having released all their cum into the girls beneath him. He gently slid out of Alyssa's mouth and flopped backwards on to the bed, making sure he was in the middle so each girl could lie on either side of him. Alyssa moved to his right and Calara to his left as had become their custom and the girls snuggled up to him feeling warm and soft against his body. He noticed both girls were absent-mindedly stroking their gently rounded tummies, his enormous load big enough to comfortably fill both their stomachs.

Alyssa noticed him watching her and she looked up at him, staring into his eyes. "Just let me know John, whenever you're ready" she said invitingly.

"Whenever he's ready for what?" Calara asked curiously.

"Alyssa..." John said warningly, but of course the beautiful blonde ignored him completely.

"I told John that he can be a daddy whenever he wants" Alyssa explained helpfully.

"Wow, you're pregnant?" Calara asked, her eyes widening.

"No, no, not yet" Alyssa clarified. "When John decides he's ready, he just has to let me know and he can impregnate me".

Calara's thighs began to rub together as she grew excited "That's actually really hot!" she exclaimed.

"Have you ever thought about having children?" Alyssa asked innocently.

"Alyssa..." John said warningly. The mischievous blonde just smiled up at him impishly.

Calara looked contemplative as she thought it over. "I hadn't planned to have children until I was a bit older, once I had built up a successful career. I thought I'd eventually become tactical officer on a big ship and really be able to do some good, before finding the right man and falling in love. Then when we were ready, I'd have children then".

"Sounds like a good plan" John said encouragingly, seeing a chance to deflect where this was heading. 

"Then again, I'm already on a huge ship doing good deeds and I've fallen in love with the perfect man!" Calara sighed happily. She looked up at him ardently "John, let me know when you'd like me to have your baby and you can get me pregnant too!"

John groaned helplessly. "I'm honoured Calara, truly, and I love you so much, but..."

Alyssa cut in "We could be pregnant at the same time! Can you Imagine, we'd both have baby bumps and then be mummies together!" She grinned happily at the brunette. 

Calara squealed excitedly, climbing lithely over John to wrap Alyssa in a loving hug. 

John thought to himself for a moment. "What's the matter with you? Just look at them for god's sake!" His heart skipped a beat when he sat up and looked at the gorgeous teens he loved so much.

"Ladies..." he said and both girls looked up at him expectantly.

"You are both stunningly beautiful girls and I love you more than anything in the galaxy. You are intelligent, kind and caring and would make perfect mothers for my children" John said honestly.

Two sets of doe eyes looked up at him adoringly and they sighed happily together.

"I think we should wait a little while, as you're both only just 18. I promise you though, I want to start a family with both of you when the time is right" he said, stroking their rounded tummies gently.

Calara and Alyssa moved swiftly to embrace him, their eyes filling with blissfully happy tears. They cuddled together feeling happier than any of them had thought possible before.

The rest of the day proved uneventful after all the startling revelations and declarations of love in the morning. The girls were good to their word and at lunchtime Calara knelt between John's legs eagerly sucking his cock, impatient for him to fill her stomach again. In the evening it was Alyssa's turn to be the vessel for his cum and she smiled at him contentedly after he gave her a huge load to keep her tummy warm that night.

They awoke the next day and dressed quickly before heading up to the bridge. The Invictus was about to arrive at Karron and they were all keen to see their destination after almost two weeks of travel. The cruiser left Hyper-warp and Alyssa plotted a course that would dock them directly with the mining colony.

There were only three available docking bays available at Karron and the Invictus was too large to fit into two of them. They had to wait 20 painfully slow minutes until a huge heavy freighter pulled clear of the last bay and headed off into the blackness of space. Alyssa skilfully docked the huge cruiser, guiding the ship carefully into the tight fit of the bored out tunnel that opened out into the docking bay. As the cruiser glided to a halt with the aid of retro thrusters, massive airlock doors creaked closed behind them and a force field sprung into place over the tunnel as an extra precaution against depressurisation.

"Ok then, let's get moving" John said to Alyssa. 

They had decided earlier that Calara would stay back on the ship, to keep watch over their home. An assault cruiser was a whole lot more tempting that a small, worn old freighter like the Fool's Gold, so John was far more wary of leaving it undefended. Calara was disappointed not to be able to come along too, but she understood his reasoning and didn't make a fuss. She kissed her lovers goodbye, with warnings to stay safe and be careful.

"So where too first?" Alyssa asked John, as they exited the airlock in the side of the Invictus. 

They had landed in a huge rough hewn docking bay, designed to load the hulking freighters that came to take away the thousands of tons of valuable ore that were mined from the asteroid. Loading equipment and Storage crates lined the darkened edges of the bay and loomed in the shadows, making the loading dock seem sinister and foreboding. 

"I thought we could go and meet your friend" he suggested. "We've waited two weeks for the Tyrenium, a few more hours won't hurt".

The beautiful young blonde nodded eagerly and led him out of the docking bay through a towering set of doors and into the dusty and grimy spaceport that guarded the way into Karron. The couple were dressed in street clothes, as wearing combat armour and carrying assault rifles would have attracted too much unwanted attention. Going completely unarmed would have been foolish though, so they each carried a heavy pistol on their hips. 

They crossed through the initial huge open cave areas, which housed the docking area and the mercantile district. There were no aliens to be seen here, the crowds bartering noisily around the bustling market consisted entirely of pale skinned humans, or "worms" as they were known to the less than polite visitor. John wove through the throng of people, following behind his beautiful companion as she skilfully navigated the crowds. She led him away from the central hub of the colony and soon the tunnels got smaller and more claustrophobic, as they wound their way deeper into the bowels of the asteroid.

John would have been completely lost without his infallible teenage guide, who seemed to know these tunnels like the back of her hand. His mind flitted back to her tragic tale of her life on Karron and his heart felt heavy at the thought of his wonderful girl having to go through so much at such an early age. They eventually reached Diablo territory, which he could tell by the red jacketed, pasty white gangers slouching insolently at every intersection. 

"Aren't you worried someone might recognise you?" He whispered to Alyssa. 

She turned slightly to face him, a gleaming white smile on her tanned face, her golden hair tumbling past her shoulders and down her back. She was a picture of vibrant health and beauty. 

"Ok silly question" he said, grinning wryly.

Alyssa finally led him up to a closed steel door, flanked by two heavily scarred men in gang jackets. 

"Hey chief, what do you want eh?" One of the ghostly pale gang members asked John, watching him warily.

Before he could speak, Alyssa cut in "We're here to buy some custom gear from Sparks, we don't want any trouble". She handed the man a credit stick for one hundred credits "For your assistance..." she said, smiling disarmingly.

Powerless to resist such a beautiful woman bearing gifts, the ganger let them through with a casual wave of his hand. His dour faced companion punched a button on a wall mounted panel and the locks on the reinforced door clanked open and swung open for them with an ominous creak.

John followed along behind the blonde, the darkly lit tunnels reverberating with wolf whistles as she strolled elegantly past gangers. The flirtatious comments and whistling grew quiet in her wake as the gangers spotted John and eyed him suspiciously. They eventually reached a workshop cut into a side tunnel, the bright light from a welding torch casting dancing shadows through the entrance and on to the wall of the tunnel opposite.

"Hey Sparks! You got a moment?" Alyssa called out in a friendly, familiar manner to a small, wiry figure bent over a workbench.

The welding torch cut out a moment later and the figure stood upright, lifting the heavy welding mask from her face as she half turned towards them. John could see a pasty white face looking hopefully in their direction for a moment, before the hopes were dashed and replaced by a dark scowl. 

"Custom gears over there Blondie" she said dismissively as she waved a finger over at weapon racks on the wall before turning back to continue with her welding.

John followed the direction of the girl's pointing finger to see a surprisingly clean and well cared for set of weapon racks, filled with elaborate custom pistols and sub machine guns. The weapons gleamed in the dull light of the workshop, looking sleek and deadly. He walked over to look at them more closely and saw that the sinister looking black and chrome weapons were actually the work of a highly skilled gunsmith. He picked up a heavy bore pistol and was impressed by its excellent craftsmanship as he turned it carefully in his hand. Even the scope was surprising, with its powerful zoom and infrared capabilities, far beyond anything he expected to see in a colony like this. He carefully replaced it on the weapon rack, feeling a newfound respect for its creator and turned to focus on the reunion in the workshop.

Alyssa moved closer to the tetchy figure and tried again "Don't you recognise me Sparks?" she asked tentatively.

The wiry girl seemed to tense with irritation before turning off the oxy-acetylene torch and pulling off her cumbersome welding mask and turning right around to look at them squarely. Now John could see her clearly, he noticed a livid looking red scar all over the left side of her face and running down her neck. The girl could have once been considered pretty, if not for the disfiguring burn that looked to be many years old. The girl was ghostly white like all the locals at Karron and the small figure had a shock of short, spiky red hair.




Three Square Meals Ch. 10



"Oh yeah, I remember you from our old modelling days!" Sparks scoffed sarcastically. "Now why are you bothering me?!" she blurted out, annoyed at the interruption to her work.

"It's me..." The stunningly beautiful blonde continued "Alyssa..."

Sparks snorted with laughter "Haha! Good one, who put you up to it? Fat Tony? Choppy Bob?" she grinned good naturedly.

"It's not a joke, it's really me" the blonde said calmly.

Sparks rolled her eyes and laughed derisively.

"Four years ago we got caught in a street-fight and one of the Fletcher brothers stuck me with a knife, right here" Alyssa said pointing to just above her right hip.

Sparks laughter died as she looked at Alyssa a bit more closely for a moment. She then shook her head and grinned "Nice try Blondie, but plenty of people were there at that fight".

"Yes, but it was only us there when you helped stitch me up and you told me that holding on to your lucky penny would make it hurt less" Alyssa said, her melodic voice catching. 

"How in the hell did you know that?" Sparks blurted out, before throwing the welding gear aside and striding right up to Alyssa.

Now that she was this close, the ghostly pale teenager did a double take as she stared at the beautiful blonde's lovely face. She recognised the piercing blue eyes, her mouth, her ears; she could see parts of her old friends face, but this stunningly attractive woman was over 6 inches taller than her friend, just to start with!

"What are you?" Sparks said, her eyes narrowing with suspicion. "Some kind of a robot?" she poked Alyssa's arm. "What did you do to my friend?" she said growing angry.

"It's me Sparks!" Alyssa said, growing exasperated. "We met four years ago. I used to gopher for you in exchange for food. I used to sleep over there" she said, pointing to a tucked away corner of the workshop. "I left here 6 weeks ago, because Georgio tried to rape me and I stuck him with a knife!"

The ghostly pale teenager stood there opened mouthed at Alyssa's outburst. "It really is you..." she whispered in a stunned voice, her eyes wide. "But you're tall and so beautiful now! What happened? Was it some kind of luxury bodysculpt job or something?" She asked, while walking around Alyssa, her face showing her shock as she studied the blonde's incredible body.

"My body changed, but it's still me" Alyssa said, smiling warmly.

"You don't even sound the same any more!" Sparks blurted out. "Your voice used to be more scratchy. Now you sound like... liquid honey" the confused girl said, struggling to find an appropriate description.

Alyssa's musical laughter filled the workshop.

"See! That's what I mean! No-one should sound that happy, it makes me want to smile just hearing your laugh!" Sparks said, desperately trying to reconcile the new Alyssa with the old.

"I know it's a lot to take in Sparks" Alyssa said. "I stowed away on that freighter, like you suggested I should and it turned out it was owned by this guy" the lovely blonde girl said, smiling towards John.

"John, this is Sparks" she said, "Sparks this is John".

"Nice to meet you" John said, offering his hand. Sparks shook it warily.

"So then my body went through some changes and I've been on a load of adventures. We decided to come back here to Karron and I wanted to come and see you and get you to come with us and leave this place!" Alyssa said in an excited rush.

"Leave?" Sparks said, sitting down on a nearby stool in a daze. 

The spiky haired red-head sat quietly for a moment, thinking things through. "If what you're saying is true, then I'd love to come with you, but the Diablo's aren't going to just let me walk, they make too much money from my custom work" she said cautiously.

"Just say you're going scavenging and then meet up with us on the ship. By the time they realise you're not coming back, we'll be out of here!" Alyssa said enthusiastically.

"But what about all my gear?" Sparks said. "I can't just leave all that behind, it's taken me years to collect all these tools and equipment".

"Don't worry about that, I'll replace anything you leave behind" John interjected.

"Gee thanks, Daddy Warbucks!" Sparks said sarcastically. "Do you have any idea how much it would cost to replace all this stuff?" she said, waving her arms around encompassing the workshop.

John shrugged nonchalantly "Alyssa wants you to join us, so the cost isn't a problem".

"Come see the ship" Alyssa urged, "You'll see we're genuine once you're on board" she said encouragingly.

"Ok I'll come see, for old time's sake" Sparks said, not daring to build up her hopes.

"Thanks Sparks!" Alyssa grinned happily and wrapped the smaller girl in a tight hug.

They broke apart and Alyssa saw Sparks eyeing her chest suspiciously. "Go ahead", she invited warmly, "they're real" she grinned.

Sparks reached out tentatively and gently cupped Alyssa's big firm breasts in her small pale hands. "Wow, they're amazing!" she gasped in awe.

"I know, right?" Alyssa beamed happily at her friend. "Don't worry, I'll explain everything properly back at the ship." she told her old friend reassuringly.

John and Alyssa exited the workshop, leaving a very confused and bewildered girl behind them. They left the Diablo's base without any trouble and wound their way back through the claustrophobic tunnels to return to Karron's central caves.

"Do you want to go to the mine now?" Alyssa asked John inquisitively.

"No, I don't think so, not yet. Let's go back to the ship and gear up. If there's any chance of getting into a gunfight with a street gang, I want you in body armour" he replied, his voice tinged with worry.

Alyssa smiled at him and nodded, touched by his overprotective nature. John contacted Calara using the communicator built into his watch and let her know they were headed back. She met them at the airlock and beamed happily at them as they came back onboard.

"It's just a fleeting visit honey, we wanted to get our combat gear. We might have trouble with a street gang on the horizon." John explained. Calara nodded her understanding and came up with them to their quarters to help them get suited up in their body armour. 

John picked up his deadly looking assault rifle and loaded the bullpup magazine with a satisfying click. He followed his normal weapons check and held the high tech weapon to his shoulder to look through the integrated scope and made sure everything was fully operational. He turned to look at Alyssa and was surprised to see her holding his backup rifle, the sister to his one. She slapped in a magazine and performed an identical check with the scope. Alyssa saw him watching her and she winked at him impishly.

They said farewell to Calara a second time and asked her to watch out for their recently invited guest. They left the docking bay again, receiving startled looks from passersby as they strode through the spaceport terminal at a determined pace. They hailed a taxi and asked the driver to take them to the Mortimer Mine.

The journey to the mine seemed to flash by, and in no time John and Alyssa were in Seb Mortimer's office. The mine owner seemed delighted to see John again and clasped his hand in a warm handshake. Alyssa watched the interaction half-heartedly. Being back on Karron had been tough going for the young woman, everywhere she looked seemed to be dredging up bad memories from her past.

"Hey Seb, it's great to see you again. How's the mine been running?" John asked the mine owner politely.

"Great thanks John, it's really good to see you again too" Seb replied cheerily.

*You fucker, you have the balls to come back here after ripping me off?!* someone snarled furiously.

The incandescent rage of the second speaker had Alyssa whirling around, her eyes darting about trying to find who had just spoken.

"Are you ok there Alyssa?" John asked, wondering what his young lover was doing.

"Yeah, I'm fine, don't worry about me" She replied distractedly.

"Sorry Seb, I'm being rude. This is Alyssa, my Executive Officer" John introduced them courteously.

"Nice to meet you miss" Seb replied with a smile on his face.

*So you spent my money on whores, and flaunt this slut in front of my face?!* the enraged voice barked.

Alyssa looked around bug eyed. Where was this other person? Why was no-one else reacting to the crazy stuff he was saying?!

"Err, nice to meet you" She stammered.

John wondered what had gotten into Alyssa, he had never seen her behave like this before.

"I was wondering if you had mined any more Tyrenium?" He asked Seb politely. "I was looking to purchase some more if you have any for sale" He enquired, laying the foundations for another trade.

"Well we tapped out that vein in the end, but I've got nearly 20 tons stored that I'm looking to sell" Seb explained.

*Come round for a second bite? You little fuck, payback's going to be a bitch* the savage voice ranted.

"Oh that's good to hear!" John grinned happily. "I'd be interested in buying all of it. Same price per ton as last time?" he asked hopefully.

"Sounds like you have a deal mister!" Seb grinned back.

*Yeah, and I'm gonna take your ship and your whore too...* The voice growled dangerously.

"Let me go tell the foreman to get the Tyrenium ready for transport. You own that big fancy cruiser down at the dock right?" Seb asked pleasantly.

John confirmed that he owned the Invictus, as Seb beamed a big smile and stood up to leave the office.

*My own warship... I'm going to fucking end you, then I think I'll make myself Lord of Karron...* the voice gloated.

Alyssa watched Seb leave, her eyes wide with panic.

She grabbed Johns arms with both hands, surprising him with the strength of her grip. "He's going to betray you!!" She gasped.

John stared at Alyssa, mouth agape. "What's gotten into you?" he asked. 

"He's pissed about the last deal, he thinks you ripped him off! He's going to kill you and take me and the ship!" She pleaded for him to understand the danger they were in.

"Why would you think that?!" John gasped, shocked at this sudden outburst.

He watched Alyssa's eyes dart from side to side as though she was rapidly turning things over in her head. She suddenly locked eyes with him, having come to her decision.

"I can read minds. I heard his thoughts" She blurted out.

"You can what?!..." John stammered, stunned.

"It's only been you up until now..." Alyssa tried to explain.

"You've been reading my mind?" John said astonished, as he tried to desperately wrap his head around this latest revelation.

Alyssa broke eye contact with him and lowered her gaze, looking guilty. "I'm sorry, I should have said earlier..."

Their conversation came to an abrupt end as they heard Seb's heavy boots outside the office door.

"Hey, welcome back" John said to Seb, managing to hide his earlier shock. "Everything good to go?"

"Sure John, let me just sort out the paperwork" The faux- friendly mine owner replied as he sat behind his desk and began to prepare the auth device, which would transfer ownership of the Tyrenium to John.

John threw a glance Alyssa's way. *Are you reading my mind now?* he asked experimentally, narrowing his eyes.

Alyssa met his gaze and gave a slight nod of her head, looking a bit contrite.

*Well I'll be damned* John thought, his eyes widening in wonder.

Unfortunately further experimentation was cut short, as Seb held the prepped Auth device at the ready. John handed him the logging manifest for the Invictus and Seb plugged in the device and pressed a couple of buttons authorising the transaction.

"There we go" he said, smiling. He seemed to take in their ceramic plated body armour for the first time "You two in some kind of trouble?"

"Oh just a bit of gang trouble" John replied "better safe than sorry" he smiled amiably.

Seb nodded agreeably. *I'll give you trouble alright you fucker. I'm going to make you sorry you were born!* Seb thought to himself smugly.

"Ok we're all set. You two head back to the ship with the cargo and I'll come and meet you there with some extra boys to help speed up the loading" The mine owner said in a helpful manner.

*Just wait until you load the ship, then it's time to pay the piper* Seb thought to himself, crowing over his impending victory. *This idiot won't even see it coming!*

John and Alyssa stood and shook Seb's hand, before leaving his office to meet with the truck driver who would be taking them back to the Loading dock. The whole experience was becoming increasingly surreal for Alyssa, especially when she had to smile and shake hands with Seb who was planning to kill John and do horrible things to her.

They climbed up into the cab of the massive truck and John greeted the pale skinned driver with a friendly nod. He moved to sit in the middle with Alyssa by the door. The engine rumbled loudly and the cab begin to vibrate as the chunky six wheeled vehicle began to move, leading the other 3 trucks in the convoy to the space port.

*So what's he going to do? do you know his plan?* John thought at Alyssa and then waited expectedly for her voice to appear in his head.

When nothing happened, he glanced at her out of the corner of his eye. The beautiful blonde frowned at him cutely and then nodded her head.

*Oh right, you can read my mind but I can't hear your thoughts?* John reasoned, figuring out the silence.

Another little nod from Alyssa, the truck driver not taking his eyes off the road, oblivious to the silent conversation happening only inches away from him.

*Ok then, yes or no answer questions only* he mused.

Alyssa nodded slightly, amazed at how well John was adapting to this situation and using it to their tactical advantage.

*Are they going to attack us on the way back?* he thought. A little head shake from Alyssa.

*Are they going to attack us back at the Invictus?* he wondered. A little nod from the teenager.

*Immediately?* John asked. Alyssa shook her head slightly.

*Ah, so probably after we finish loading. He's hoping to ambush us when we think the cargo is safe and our guard is down and he's bringing along his "extra boys" to help him carry out the plan?* John mused to himself.

Alyssa nodded her head animatedly before coughing to cover it up. She was very impressed, John managed to put together the whole plan based only on a couple of yes or no answers. The girl desperately wished this mind reading ability worked both ways. She had loads of questions she wanted to ask him, but she had to stay mute, it was so frustrating!

*If he's waiting till we're back at the ship, he's probably after the Invictus too?* John's question was met by another tiny nod from the apprehensive young woman at his side.

John's mind started racing as he began to formulate a plan *Ok when we get there, you excuse yourself and go and warn Calara, she'll know what she has to do. I'll distract Seb if needs be* he glanced at Alyssa to make sure she had heard his orders. She nodded firmly, a steely determination in her eyes.

*Good girl. Don't worry, we'll be fine* he thought to her reassuringly, reaching out to take her hand in his and squeezing it gently.

The rest of the journey felt tortuous as they wove their way past dirty dilapidated slums and crawled along through dark, roughly cut tunnels. John was worrying about keeping the girls safe and Alyssa was worrying that he would forget to take care of himself. 

All too soon the truck convoy arrived at the spaceport and John spoke briefly to the deck officer and port guards who waved them through. The chunky trucks rolled in to the docking bay and then parked against the left hand wall under the overhanging cargo loading equipment. John and Alyssa stepped out of the cab, just as Seb rolled up, riding in the first of two sturdy looking hover trucks. Alyssa spotted tarpaulins covering some strange lumpy shapes at the top of the hover trucks and wondered what they could be. Over a dozen stern looking men climbed out of the vehicles, but didn't seem to be making any effort to help the miners with the unloading and just loitered around.

"We'll go and open the cargo bay for you, you guys can start unloading the trucks" John suggested to the mine owner, who nodded curtly in response.

John and Alyssa walked over to the ship, the hairs on the back of John's neck standing up as though he could feel eyes watching his every move. They approached the airlock of the Invictus and he pressed his palm against the DNA reader. The airlock spiralled open invitingly and they stepped through the oval portal.

*Ok time to move!* John ordered Alyssa, as the airlock started to spiral close behind them. He went through the side door to enter the Cargo bay and the worried teen darted over to the elevator and hit the call button, tapping her foot impatiently until it arrived. She took the elevator up to the bridge, hoping to find Calara there and was relieved when she found the lovely brunette sitting at her tactical station.

"We're in trouble!" Alyssa shouted from across the bridge, as she dashed over to speak to her friend.

Calara's eyes widened as Alyssa quickly briefed her on the current situation.

"Ok I know what to do" the brunette said reassuringly, activating controls on the tactical station.

Alyssa felt confidence and determination from the tiny emotive presence that had reappeared in her mind. Feeling reassured, she spun on her feet and sprinted back to the elevator, determined to help protect John now she had carried out his orders.

Meanwhile John had opened up the cargo bay doors in the hull of the Invictus and was waiting patiently, as the miners ferried the Tyrenium into the cargo bay using Anti-grav loading sleds. He pretended to be intent on the loading operation, but out of the corner of his eye he could see Seb's mercenaries fanning out to take cover. They furtively unshouldered rifles or unholstered pistols whilst ducking behind the storage crates that were scattered around the loading dock.

Finally the last of the Tyrenium was brought into the cargo bay and John turned to face Seb and his men. All pretences were thrown aside as he saw over a dozen gun barrels aimed in his direction, Seb standing at the back with a heavy pistol in his hand.

"It's over John!" He called out. "Hands in the air and walk out of the ship" he said, his voicing sounding smug.

John raised his hands above his head and tried to look surprised and defeated as he walked forward slowly. 

"You shouldn't have ripped me off you little shit" Seb gloated. "Yeah, I eventually got word of how much Tyrenium is selling for... fifty times how much you paid me for it!!" he said, his voice quivering with rage.

"I got over one hundred times the buying price actually" he said helpfully to Seb, causing the man to growl furiously through clenched teeth.

Just at that moment, several things happened at once.

Firstly, the tarpaulins on the backs of the half tracks were thrown aside, revealing Heavy machine guns on pintle mounts that were both trained on John by grinning mercenaries.

At the same time, the door to the elevator in the Invictus swished opened quietly and Alyssa darted down the corridor to stand on the other side of the sealed airlock, her assault rifle held ready.

Unnoticed by all, armoured panels on the hull of the Invictus began to peel aside and an ominous low pitched whirr began to echo around the cargo bay.

Finally, a ghostly white girl with spiky red hair came sprinting into the Cargo bay, her face showing some relief when she saw John. "The Diablo's are after me!" Sparks cried out in alarm, before suddenly realising the tense situation she had burst into and screeched to a halt. 

Seb lunged to the side grabbing Sparks in a tight grip while she stood in shock and he placed the blunt nose of his heavy pistol at her temple. "Give it up John, or this bitch gets it" he yelled.




Three Square Meals Ch. 10



Moments later, over a dozen red jacketed gang members came bursting in through the entryway into the hanger. They drew their weapons and pointed them at John and the Mercenaries. "Let her go!" a bulky ganger with a mohawk shouted. "She's Diablo property!" 

The mercenaries on the half tracks spun the heavy machine guns around quickly to point them at the new threat and the tension in the room ratcheted up several notches.

John opened his mouth to speak, but was cut off by a booming female voice being transmitted throughout the Cargo bay. "All gang members and mercenaries will leave this Docking bay immediately" The voice said implacably "Refusal will be met with deadly force. You have ten seconds to comply".

Dozens of sets of eyes looked up at the towering hull of the Invictus, suddenly painfully aware of the four turreted Gatling lasers that had spun up and were now pointed in their direction.

"Ten" Calara said, beginning the countdown.

"I'm not kidding John, I'll splatter her brains all over the floor!" Seb shouted, waving his heavy pistol in the air for emphasis, before placing it back against the small girl's head.

"Nine" The Latina continued undaunted.

"Let her go, She's coming with us!" The gang leader shouted, as his men trained their weapons at the mercenaries.

"Eight" Calara intoned.

John tensed the muscles in his legs, getting ready to spring into action.

"Seven" The young woman's voice continued.

Alyssa touched the panel activating the airlock and then hugged the wall closely, staying out of sight. The door spiralled open silently, unnoticed in the tense Mexican standoff.

"Six" Calara's voice echoed around the docking bay. 

"Shut that bitch up, John!" Seb bellowed, furious that his carefully laid plans had unravelled so quickly.

"Five" came the booming reply.

"You better do as she says" John called out "She isn't bluffing!"

"Four" Calara said.

The mercenaries and gangers were looking increasingly worried. Staring down a two meter long gun barrel will do that to a man.

"Three" The Latina said in a flat emotionless voice.

"Let her go man, she's my property!" The gang leader shouted, the nervous tremor to his voice betraying his fear.

"Two"

"Last chance John, surrender now!" Seb yelled angrily.

Alyssa suddenly appeared around the edge of the airlock, her assault rifle at her shoulder. 

"One" The blonde teen sang out, her melodic voice piercing the scene playing out in the room. Her rifle chattered and Seb screamed as his wrist exploded, his severed hand still clutching his pistol as it sailed through the air.

John burst into action, charging directly towards the crippled mine owner who was screaming in pain and holding the bloodied stump of his wrist with his other hand. Sparks had been thrown to the ground and was cowering in fear as the mercenaries with rifles and pistols opened up on John. They weren't expecting him to sprint right past them though, so a fusillade of small arms fire sailed around him harmlessly as he ran flat out towards the mine owner, moving too fast for the surprised mercs to react in time. John barrelled into the critically injured man, shoulder charging him with a ceramic plated pad that sent Seb sprawling and leaving John to bounce off and drop to a crouch next to the frightened redhead.

The low pitched whir of the Gatling lasers was drowned out as Calara opened up with the Invictus. Rapid Staccato blasts of laser fire arced outwards, illuminating the dimly lit room with strobing flashes. The hover trucks were hit by dozens of high energy pulses, the vehicles exploding as the multi barrelled Gatling lasers chewed threw them in seconds and tore them to pieces. 

The Gangers could only stare in horror as the last two Gatling lasers turned in their direction and sprayed the wide doorway with a long continuous burst of laser fire. Most of the Diablo's managed to throw themselves to the ground or leap behind storage crates, but two gang members weren't so lucky. One was hit by several laser bolts, each hit searing holes straight through his body and leaving his torso looking like a smouldering Swiss cheese as he toppled over. The other was hit in the shoulder, the laser bolt penetrating clean through and melting the entire shoulder joint. The man's arm fell to the floor, the charred stump glowing with the heat of the impact and he collapsed to his knees in shock, his mouth agape in horror.

"Get behind those crates!" John ordered curtly to Sparks, pointing to some sturdy storage containers stacked against the side of the room. The terrified teenager looked up at him wide eyed, before she managed to shake off her fear and started crawling in the direction John had pointed. John attempted to shield the girl, using his armoured body to cover her as she scampered away. Round after round went sailing over his head, but a few hit his arms and back, ricocheting off the tough ceramic plates. He winced as he felt the impacts, one round slammed into his right thigh between ceramic plates and caused him to flinch in pain.

Calara's eyes narrowed with anger as she sighted in on the mercenaries shooting at her lover and friend. Her assault rifle chattered in multiple bursts as she took steps to eliminate that danger. The first burst hit a merc who was crouched behind a crate firing his pistol wildly. The three hollow point rounds hit him squarely in the head and his skull exploded as the caseless ammo blasted out the other side. 

The second burst hit a merc standing in the open, who had stepped out of cover to try and shoot around his colleagues, his line of sight to John blocked after his reckless charge. These rounds punched into the merc's torso from the side, eviscerating him as the bullets tore through his body and leaving him writhing on the floor in agony. 

Her final shot hit a merc in the leg as he tried in vain to conceal himself behind a crate. Two of the bullets hit him in the calf and the last blew out his knee, showering the crate in gore. The man slumped to the ground screaming in pain as he clutched his ruined leg.

The Diablo's cowered behind crates as the cargo bay turned into some kind of horrific hellscape. Bright flashes of laser fire kept them pinned down and illuminated the corpses of their brothers who had been cooked by laser fire, wispy smoke rising from their charred bodies. It was a powerful reminder of what would happen to them if they broke cover, so they wisely ducked down as low as possible.

Sparks finally managed to crawl behind the sturdy storage containers stacked against the rough wall of the docking bay. The containers were pock marked with impacts from the dozens of rounds fired in their direction, but John was glad to see the containers were robust enough to stop the rounds from penetrating. He followed the young woman behind the crates, glad to be out of the line of fire for a moment. 

"Are you ok?" He asked the scared girl as she huddled up against the crate, trying to make herself as small as possible.

"Yeah, I didn't get hit" Sparks replied, much to John's relief.

The gunfire from the mercs had gone quiet for a moment, when they weren't able to shoot at him any longer. After a brief pause, he heard numerous small arms firing again, but this time the rounds weren't headed in his direction. He held his assault rifle at the ready and carefully leaned out behind the crate, to see what the remaining mercenaries were shooting at. He saw they were firing towards his ship's airlock and he heard the distinctive chatter of one of his assault rifles firing back defiantly. John saw the muzzle flash at the airlock door and that sudden flare of light revealed a mane of golden hair.

"Goddamnit!" he swore. *Get down Alyssa!* he shouted in his mind, praying his fearless companion was listening to his thoughts like before. He was greatly relieved when she immediately disappeared from view. He had the mercs in a good crossfire from his current position and he was able to drop two more with carefully aimed bursts, before the rest of the mercenary team reacted and ducked down low behind cover.

Unfortunately for both the mercenaries and the Diablo's, the storage crates proved scant protection against the ship mounted Gatling lasers. These weapons were designed to take out lightly armoured fighters, so a few inches of Reinforced plastic might be able to stop a hollow point round, but it was powerless to protect against penetration by the searing laser bolts.

Calara began to walk laser fire along the defensive positions held by the two hostile groups. Glowing holes were punched through the reinforced plastic of the storage crates before the laser bolts connected with soft flesh, screams of pain announcing every successful strike. Pitiful cries of surrender began to drift up around the loading bay and John contacted Calara using his watch communicator and asked her to cease fire.

"Ok it's over, get out of here!" John shouted loudly to the terrified attackers, their morale truly broken. 

The seven remaining Diablo's stopped to pick up their fallen brothers and dragged them from the Loading bay. The mohawked leader was one of the survivors and he turned to face John before he left. 

"This ain't over chief, the Diablo's have got long memories!" he snarled. When two of the Gatling lasers began to spin up and track him, his bravado disappeared and he fled the docking bay. 

John saw the three surviving mercs crawl out of cover and limp away, leaving their fallen behind. John took a quick glance at the abandoned corpses, but he couldn't see Seb anywhere. He noticed a bloody trail leading out of the docking bay from where he had sent the mine owner sprawling and figured he must have crawled away during the heat of combat.

"Are you ok to walk?" he asked Sparks.

The teen nodded tentatively and John offered her a strong hand to help her stand up. Adrenalin was fast wearing off and the young woman stood on wobbly legs, reluctant to let go of John's supportive arm. He helped her to walk towards the airlock on the Invictus.

Alyssa came dashing out to their side, her face concerned. "Are you both ok? Did either of you get hit?" she asked, worried.

"I'm going to get a nasty couple of bruisers, but other than that, all good!" John replied reassuringly.

The gorgeous blonde moved to hug them both, but John held her off for a moment.

"Let's get inside the ship first, I'm still feeling a bit exposed here" He said, glancing over his shoulder at the writhing figures still lying in the slaughterhouse that the docking bay had become. Alyssa helped Sparks through the airlock on her shaky legs, while John entered the Cargo bay and pressed the controls that would re-seal the outer hull of the Invictus. He walked briskly over to meet up with the girls in the corridor and they took the elevator up to the bridge.

The door swished open quietly and they walked out on to the bridge. Alyssa stood with Sparks who stood open mouthed with awe at the technical wonder that was the command deck of the Invictus. The multi levelled bridge was illuminated with the light blue glow of the holographical tactical images projected into the centre of the room.

Calara stood up from her tactical station when she heard them arrive and came over to meet them. "I'm so glad you're all ok!" she said, relief showing clearly on her face when she saw that they weren't injured. 

"It's our very own deus ex machina!" exclaimed John upon seeing Calara and he moved forward to sweep her up in a warm hug. "That was awesome honey, you were amazing!" he said proudly.

The gorgeous Latina beamed up at him, glowing with his praise.

"Thanks for the rescue you guys" Sparks said in a small voice, clearly intimidated by the massive ship and yet another ravishingly beautiful woman.

"Oh sorry, I'm being rude" John apologised to the girls. "Calara, this is Alyssa's old friend Sparks. Sparks, this is Calara, we're lucky to have her as the Tactical Officer on the Invictus".

"and she's quite lovely too!" Alyssa said warmly, moving in to wrap Calara in a hug. "You did a great job today Calara. Thank you for saving these two!" she grinned happily.

"You're all welcome!" the gorgeous brunette smiled at them, her deep brown eyes warm and friendly.

"Why don't we go the debriefing room and we can have a chat" John suggested to the young women gathered around him.

The three teenagers followed after him as he led them to the as yet unused door, on the other side of the bridge. The door led into a sizeable room, with a long meeting table dominating the space, surrounded by plush, comfortable looking chairs. A long window ran the length of the room, which would no doubt provide spectacular views, but unfortunately all they could see at the moment was the rough hewn rock of the Docking bay wall. John gestured for the girls to sit and once they had moved to take their seats, he sat in the luxurious leather chair at the head of the table.

"Alyssa, why don't you explain to Sparks what you had in mind for her onboard the Invictus?" John prompted gently.

The beautiful blonde nodded happily and gleefully launched into a long and detailed explanation of her plans for her spiky haired young friend, shocking the pale teen to the core.

"Now wait a minute, let me just get this straight..." Sparks said. "You want me to join the crew as Chief Engineer and sail around the galaxy in this monster of a ship. I get an almost unlimited budget to maintain the Invictus and I can work on whatever side-projects I like. I get to hang out with my BFF and I'm going to end up looking like these two goddesses" she said waving her hand towards Alyssa and Calara.

"and all you want in exchange, is for me to dyke out with beautiful and gorgeous here from time to time and have Mr Handsome blow me up like a balloon whenever he wants?"

Calara and Alyssa nodded serenely, lovely warm smiles on their perfect faces.

"That's about the size of it I guess" John said cautiously, a bit startled by her blunt delivery.

"Well show me where to sign up!!" Dana grinned excitedly.

John chuckled loudly. "Welcome to the team" he said, smiling at Sparks warmly. 

Alyssa stood and wrapped her old friend in a big hug "I'm so happy you're coming with us!" she said, overjoyed.

Calara gave the little redhead a hug too "I'm looking forward to getting to know you" she said smiling, her voice friendly and welcoming.

"Well I don't know about you girls, but I think I've had quite enough of Karron" John said soberly. The young women nodded, agreeing with him wholeheartedly.

"Alyssa, please take us out of here and plot a course to Port Olympus" he requested as the group left the briefing room and stepped back on to the bridge. 

"I better speak to the Star port authorities and explain the carnage in the Loading bay" he said, grimacing. "I'll be in my ready room. Let me know when we're under way". John strode away, disappearing into his office.

"Wow he's a real take-charge kind of a guy isn't he?" Sparks commented to Calara, turning to look at the Latina. 

"Uh-huh" the gorgeous brunette nodded dreamily, as she watched John disappear into the side room with adoring eyes.

Sparks left Calara to her tactical station and the redhead turned to look at Alyssa, who had darted up to the Executive Officer's chair. Sparks followed her old friend up on to the command podium and watched in amazement as the enthusiastic blonde rapidly plotted a course back to the centre of Terran Federation power. The girl's hands flickered over the controls and holographic system charts sprung into being, the glowing blue line of her projected flight path linking system to system.

"How do you know how to do all that?" Sparks boggled in amazement. 

Alyssa shrugged self-deprecatingly. "I had some spare time and John needed a navigator" she said, smiling happily as she added the finishing touches to their route back to the core worlds. She raised a delicate finger to her full lips, gesturing for her friend to hold the questions for a moment.

"Karron starport this is the cruiser Invictus" She stated, her voice calm and confident "Requesting clearance to leave Docking Bay three".

"Clearance granted Invictus" The communications officer at the starport replied.

Warning lights began to flash in the loading area and a hexagonal pattered force field sprung into being, sealing off the cruiser from the rest of the Docking bay. Shortly afterwards, the force field sealing the outer bay doors winked out of existence and the massive airlock squealed in protest as the doors opened, depressurising the tunnel out into the vacuum of space. 

Sparks watched astounded as Alyssa eased the sleek cruiser out of the crudely bored out tunnel and then clear of the asteroid. The beautiful blonde rotated the ship smoothly and then powered up the enormous engines, causing the Invictus to surge forward on its way towards the Nav beacon. 

"Say goodbye to Karron, Sparks" Alyssa said to her old friend in a quiet voice. "I promise you, the rest of the galaxy has so much more to offer".

The redhead nodded mutely as Alyssa activated the FTL drive and their ship leapt into Hyper-warp and away from Karron. Sparks watched Karron in the system map and saw the asteroid grow tiny before disappearing behind them, as the Invictus raced away from the colony where the young girl had spent her entire life. 

"To the future" Sparks thought to herself, feeling a bit scared, but daring to hope for the first time.



Three Square Meals Ch. 11



"Come on" Alyssa said to Sparks, "Let's go see John and tell him we're headed to Olympus Shipyard". 

The beautiful young blonde offered her hand to Sparks and she led her into the Commander's ready room. 

"Course laid in and we're on our way Commander!" Alyssa told John, with a mock salute thrown in cheekily.

"Very good XO" John grinned at the playful teenager.

"Why don't we get you settled in to a room" John suggested to Sparks. "This must all seem pretty daunting at the moment".

"You got that right" the culture shocked red-head sighed.

"Ok let's get going" John said, getting up and leading the two girls back out to the bridge "we need to go to our room and change anyway".

"We're going to pack away our combat gear" John said to Calara as he walked towards the elevator. "Are you ok holding the bridge for the moment?"

Calara nodded "I wanted to do some long range scans for pirates anyway" she explained.

"Ok let's meet up for dinner in a couple of hours" John suggested.

"See you in the Officer's lounge!" Calara said, smiling happily as she waved them goodbye.

John, Alyssa and Sparks took the elevator down to the lower deck. The elevator chimed happily and the doors swished opened smoothly.

"That's the Officers lounge through there" Alyssa said to her friend, pointing at the double doors at the end of the corridor on their right. 

"Our rooms are all up this way" The beautiful blonde girl said, pointing in the other direction. 

The group walked past the playroom and the other empty officers quarters before coming to a halt at the door next to Calara's room. 

"You can have this one" Alyssa said. "Decorate it however you like, but please keep it tidy" she requested politely.

Sparks poked her head around the door and looked around the officer's quarters quite amazed. "Wow, this room is huge!" she said, used to a tiny cot bed back at her workshop. She walked in and ran her hand over the covers on the king size bed. "This feels amazing, the covers are so soft!" she marvelled.

"Let us know if you need anything" John said "We want you to be happy and comfortable".

Sparks nodded absent-mindedly, as she walked around the room taking everything in. She couldn't believe how luxurious her new quarters seemed. She felt like she might need to pinch herself to wake up as she walked back to join her new crewmates who were waiting in the corridor.

"Calara sleeps in there" Alyssa explained, pointing at the adjacent room "Well some of the time!" she grinned mischievously.

John looked a bit embarrassed and Sparks stared at him probingly.

"You're really sleeping with both of them?" She asked him with an accusatory tone to her voice, feeling protective of her blonde friend.

John opened his mouth to reply, before Alyssa cut him off. "Yes and if you're lucky he'll be sleeping with you too! Isn't it wonderful?" She grinned, with a cheeky look on her face.

That put a quick end to John's interrogation by Sparks and she blushed bright red with embarrassment.

"I'm sorry Sparks" Alyssa said "I didn't mean to make you feel bad, It's just better if we're all open with each other" she explained. "I promise you, my life has been absolutely amazing since I met up with John and I want that for you too" she said earnestly.

The statuesque young woman enfolded her smaller friend in a comforting embrace. They hugged for a while, with Alyssa just providing reassurance and comfort for her overwhelmed friend. John had a quick thought and Alyssa looked at him and nodded her approval with a warm smile. He disappeared into their bedroom.

Eventually Sparks pulled back from the hug and looked up at the beautiful blonde.

"It's weird, you remind me of my old friend, but you just look and sound so totally different" she said, struggling to explain.

"I'm still me" Alyssa smiled back at her friend fondly.

"Yeah but it's like you've turned into Alyssa Plus. You used to be a bit shy and introverted and only really opened up when it was just the two of us. The way you were on the bridge was amazing!" The redhead went on.

Alyssa tilted her head to the side considering her friend's observation. "Do you like the new me?" She asked quietly.

"You're a bit intimidating, but yeah, I like the new you a lot!" Sparks said honestly.

"Well that's all that matters then" Alyssa said with a grin. "Come on, I need to get out of this armour!" She led her smaller friend into her huge bedroom and then through to the walk in wardrobe.

The redhead marvelled at the opulent luxury of their room and the impressively huge four poster bed. When she followed her friend through the first of the two doors to her right, Sparks eyes were so wide, it looked like they were about to fall out of her head. 

"This is just your closet?" She asked stunned.

"Uh-huh" Alyssa said as she stood in the middle of the room, unzipping her combat armour and piling up the ceramic plated sections on the floor. She noticed John's gear was neatly stowed away in the corner, so she placed hers next to his in its usual spot.

She felt stiff from wearing the armour for several hours, so she stretched her arms over her head to get the kinks out of her muscles. She heard a startled gasp behind her and she turned around to look at Sparks. 

"You're naked!" Sparks gasped, reddening up in embarrassment again.

Alyssa looked down at her gloriously nude body in mock amazement "Why yes I am!" she exclaimed. "Do you like?" She asked, posing provocatively.

Sparks made a concerted effort to get over her prudishness and gulped loudly. Alyssa looked at her with a raised eyebrow as if asking the question again and Sparks nodded tentatively.

"Would you like to look like this?" Alyssa asked pointedly.

"You know I could never look like that" Sparks mumbled embarrassed .

"Well we'll just have to wait and see, won't we" Alyssa replied archly. "Ok now strip off those clothes, let's go have a shower." she said happily "I really want to wash Karron off me!"

Sparks gulped again, steeling herself and then shyly began to remove her clothes. Alyssa waited patiently and then threw her a towel "Let's go!" the ravishing blonde said cheerfully.

Alyssa led Sparks into the adjoining bathroom and sashayed over to John, who was sitting in the huge bath and kissed him tenderly. Sparks squeaked and tried to cover herself with the towel, her earlier bravado in the briefing room long forgotten.

"Come on you, let's get that shower" Alyssa said, walking back to Sparks and leading her to the shower. John closed his eyes and sank a bit lower into the bath to save the girl further embarrassment.

Alyssa activated the shower and pulled the smaller girl in with her. With a no-nonsense attitude she soaped up her hands and then began to clean up her friend, who had built up layers of grime after countless hours spent labouring away in the grubby workshop. Sparks stood there tense and stiff to start with, mortified at her friend running her hands all over her body. However Alyssa had a gentle but firm touch and the way she massaged her muscles as she cleaned felt amazing. The luscious blonde started with Sparks spiky hair and carefully washed out all the gel holding up the spikes. The young girl was left with a shock of short, red hair as Alyssa then began to work down her body.

Eventually Sparks relaxed completely, just luxuriating in the sensations and didn't even react when her friend ran her soapy hands over her breasts and between her legs. It didn't feel sexual, it just felt caring, as Alyssa laboured to get her completely clean. Her skin tingled when Alyssa rinsed all the soap off her and Sparks could honestly say she had never been cleaner before in her life.

"Now time for a bath!" Alyssa said excitedly "I swear, you haven't lived until you've had a long soak in a bubble bath!"

Caught up with her friends infectious enthusiasm, the redhead followed after her and carefully stepped into the glistening pile of soapy bubbles stacked up at the end of the bath. She was so distracted that she forgot John was there at the other end, lying right down in the water as he was. Alyssa pushed gently on her back to get her to move forward and then the lithesome beauty slipped gracefully into the water behind her.

Sparks wasn't used to such close physical proximity and her nerves felt on edge as she sat stiff and awkward in the water. Alyssa's gloriously smooth arms enfolded the smaller girl in a hug and pulled her back to rest on her curvy athletic body.

"I've never..." Sparks murmured, before Alyssa cut her off.

"It's ok, I know. Shhh now, just relax" the beautiful teenager whispered in Sparks right ear and the petite redhead found herself lulled into a boneless state by the warmth of the bubbles. She sank lower and rested her head on Alyssa's wonderfully soft and pliant cleavage. Sparks felt drowsy, warm and safe as she rested in her friend's soothing embrace.

After dozing in the huge bathtub for nearly an hour, Sparks gently awoke. She was initially surprised to be nuzzled up so intimately with her friend, but she felt so relaxed, her discomfort passed in moments. She opened her eyes and was shocked to see John at the other end of the tub. She had been so distracted by the warm water, the soapy bubbles and Alyssa's silky soft skin, that she had forgotten her friend's lover was in the bath with them. 

Alyssa snuggled in closer behind her. "What did I tell you? Bubble baths are the best thing ever!" she said, sighing deeply. Sparks nodded cautiously, watching John a bit warily.

"He's not going to bite" Alyssa teased her playfully. "He's a gentle and loving guy. Do you really think girls like Calara and me would stay with him if he wasn't amazing?" she asked mildly.

Sparks thought for a moment. The blonde girl's logic was true, Alyssa clearly adored John and with Calara it bordered on hero worship. The two girls were so astonishingly beautiful that they could have their pick of any man in the galaxy. That was another thing that was irking Sparks a bit. Their old relationship had worked with her being the clever one and Alyssa being the pretty one. Now Alyssa was stunningly gorgeous and seemed to be just as smart if not smarter than herself! Just what was going on?

"You're right" Sparks apologised. "I'm sorry John, you saved my life and you obviously love Alyssa and I've been a bit of a jerk towards you".

John shrugged easily "Don't worry, I wasn't offended. You've had a lot of changes to adapt to in the last few hours".

They rested together for a while longer in comfortable silence until Alyssa stretched. "Come on, it's time for dinner!" she said, prompting the others with a glint in her eye. She climbed elegantly out of the tub and strolled confidently to the heated towel rail. She didn't bother to dry herself, she just held the towel open for Sparks invitingly.

The redhead took a deep breath and stood up, with John standing a moment later. He offered her his hand and she tried not to look at his nakedness as she stepped daintily out of the tub and into Alyssa's welcoming arms. The heated towel felt delicious and she let her tall friend dry her body in the towels snug embrace. Alyssa and John dried themselves off too and then the lovely blonde teen led her equally young friend into the bedroom. When they sat on the bed a certain amount of nervous tension suddenly filled the air.

"John, Sparks has never done anything like this before, so I want you to be very gentle with her" Alyssa said to her lover.

"Alyssa!!" Sparks hissed, mortified at her friends words.

"Shhh don't worry, this will all work out for the best" Alyssa said "You trust me don't you?" she asked, looking deeply into her friends eyes. Those big piercing cerulean orbs seemed to look into Sparks' soul and the young girl admitted honestly, "Yes, more than anyone".

Alyssa nodded, pleased. She beckoned John over "Stand here please John and lose the towel". 

John moved to follow her instructions and stood naked in front of the girls. He wasn't aroused yet, more worried about upsetting Sparks than feeling any desire. Alyssa leaned forward and took the head of his cock in her mouth and sucked on him lovingly. The warm wetness of her velvety soft mouth and tongue soon had the desired effect and his burgeoning cock began to wake from its slumbers.

"Holy fuck, he's massive!" Sparks gasped, shocked by the size of John's appendage.

Alyssa let his swollen red crown ease out from her lips. "Mmm, we're lucky girls aren't we?" she said, grinning happily at her friend

Sparks stared at the gently throbbing cock, the first time she had ever been this close to one and felt more than a little scared.

"It's ok, just kiss the end" Alyssa said encouragingly. 

Sparks leaned forward and tentatively kissed her lips to the end of John's cock, feeling the insistent heat under her lips. 

"Very good, now just lick the slit gently" Alyssa suggested.

Sparks followed her instructions and began to carefully lap away at the underside of John's broad mushroom head. As if sensing a new girl to fill up, John's balls began to prepare fresh pre-cum for the teen and Sparks began to taste a delicious sweetness on her tongue as John's throbbing cock squeezed out an appetiser for her. The potent pheromones began their work and the red-heads eyes began to get drowsy as she sucked on his cock, swallowing down his potent pre-cum.

"Are you sure about this?" John asked Alyssa one last time.

"Yes, absolutely!" Alyssa nodded vehemently. "Sparks transformed my old life for the better and I want to do the same for her". She smiled up at him "With your help of course, handsome".

John pulled back and then went to sit in the middle of the bed, resting his back against the bed's headboard. Alyssa guided Sparks and soon the pale skinned girl was kneeling in front of John with his swollen head in her hot and wet little mouth.

Alyssa moved to snuggle up at his side and gently stroked her friends hair as she bobbed her mouth up and down smoothly on the head of John's cock. She tried to go deeper, but her throat couldn't accommodate him. Sparks just rested for a moment, swallowing down pre-cum and her body visibly relaxed, the tension flowing out of her. She began to try to take him deeper again and this time she was relaxed enough to let him in her throat, she swallowed reflexively and John groaned as his broad shaft pushed into new ground.

"Thank you for doing this John" Alyssa said to him sincerely. He nodded agreeably in reply, relishing the sensations of a new teenager servicing him and strongly fighting the urge to push deeper.

Sparks gently eased forward, rocking back and forth, taking a little more of him each time. John was careful not to let his cock flex or make sudden movements as he didn't want the inexperienced girl to gag.

Alyssa read his thoughts and felt his emotions. "Oh, I had no idea the amount of self control you have!" she marvelled. "Your body just wants to ram it's way in and you have to maintain total control to let her get used to it". 

John nodded, too focused to talk at the moment. "You were like this with me too, weren't you?" Alyssa asked, touched. 

"It was harder with you... you're so pretty... just wanted to bury myself in you... fill you up" he gasped as Sparks finally inched her way down to his base. The tight constricting sleeve of her throat was wrapped around his length.

Alyssa groaned lustily in response. Seeing her friend deep throat her man was tremendously exciting and the beautiful blonde was thrilled at the opportunity to share John with another deserving girl. She could sense his pleasure at being inside a new girl and despite John's love for her and Calara, nothing could beat the simple masculine drive of getting some strange.

"Does that feel good John?" She whispered to him seductively. "Is it exciting being able to fill a fresh girl's stomach for the first time?"

John nodded, his eyes hooded with lust as Sparks pulled all the way off him, took a deep breath and then sank right down to his balls again.

"Just think, this is the first time you're going to feed her your cum, but you're going to be able to fill her belly thousands of times after that" Alyssa said, turning herself on with her own talk "Just like you can take Calara and me whenever you need, you can fill my friend's slim little tummy too". 

The beautiful blonde slipped her fingers into her pussy, getting them slick with her juices before running her slippery fingers over her clit. She gasped excitedly and then began to pant as she stroked herself in time with Sparks bobbing head motions in Johns lap.

"She's so eager for it!" Alyssa hissed, "look, she desperately wants your hot load inside her stomach!"

John groaned as he looked down, the redhead was gliding her undulating throat up and down his length in smooth strokes and his balls were getting eager to reward her for her efforts.

Alyssa groaned and came hard, her eyes rolling up in her head as she revelled in the sensations she was experiencing from her man. 

John heard Alyssa moaning her way through her orgasm and the sexy feminine cries were too hot to resist. His balls flexed hard and his quad began to shoot his spunk deep into the red-heads tiny little stomach for the first time. The petite girl's slim tummy was overwhelmed almost immediately and began to rapidly expand to home all his seed. Her waistline stretched out wildly, the skin on her belly becoming taut as it struggled to house his legion of sperm, each one looking to make the young girl pregnant.

"Aaahhhh!" he groaned loudly, emptying his big load into the girl's overloaded stomach. It was always a big relief to be drained completely dry and breaking in a new woman always seemed to make him cum longer and harder. 

John slumped back against the headboard as his deflating cock began to slide from Sparks' throat. He felt relaxed and calm, just like he always did when he had pumped out his cum. Alyssa moved to kiss him heatedly and he returned her kiss passionately, thanking her for her generous gift to him. They eventually parted lips and saw that a comatose Sparks was kneeling in a cum-induced stupor, stroking her massively swollen abdomen with a drowsy contented smile on her face. They helped her lie down and get more comfortable in the middle of the bed. 

John took the opportunity to really scrutinise the girl for the first time. She was about 5'3" tall, very slim and ghostly pale, with short bright red hair. She had light blue eyes and would be considered pretty apart from the hideously disfiguring burn scars that covered the left side of her face, went down her neck and covered most of the left side of her chest and arm.

"What happened to her?" John asked Alyssa simply.

"She very rarely talks about it, but she got very drunk once and opened up to me" his blonde lover replied. 

"Sparks was good with machines from a very early age and one day she spotted that one of the community generators had developed a nasty fault. She knew what to do to fix it, but she didn't know how unstable they could be. The generator exploded as she went to have a closer look at it and burning oil from the generator did that to her" Alyssa explained sadly.

"It happened to her before we met, when she was eight I think" The beautiful blonde said, gently brushing her hand over the horrifically scarred skin.

"You're hoping I can heals these scars as well, aren't you?" John asked astutely.

Alyssa looked at him with hope burning brightly in her eyes "Yes, I've never wanted anything more!" she said, longing in her voice. "Sparks has felt ugly and deformed almost her whole life, I want to change that for her".

John leaned over to kiss Alyssa, touched by her kind and caring nature. 

"Sparks should be out for a good while" he noted.




Three Square Meals Ch. 11



"14 hours?" Alyssa asked, remembering how it went for Calara. 

"Probably" John nodded in reply.

"Sleeping off her big meal" Alyssa said fondly, gently stroking the redheads massively engorged belly, the pale skin stretched taut like a drum. She covered Sparks with the duvet, to help keep her nice and warm.

"I haven't forgotten about your revelation, by the way young lady" John admonished Alyssa gently, tapping the side of his head and raising an eyebrow.

Alyssa at least had the good grace to look guilty. He wrapped her up in his arms and she looked up at his face, watching for his reaction as they lay there together.

"Before we get into all that, let me just say you were amazing today" he said appreciatively. "You saved us from a nasty ambush that we almost certainly wouldn't have survived without you".

Alyssa grinned happily up at him, overjoyed at making him proud of her.

"Oh and that shot that took out Seb's hand!" John said, astonished. "I would have been wary taking that shot, but you executed it flawlessly" he said truly amazed.

"I know you disappear off to practice at the firing range a lot, but you've either got very good or very reckless!" he smiled, suspecting he knew the answer.

"I wanted to be able to protect you and Calara" Alyssa said simply. 

"I know what you mean" John said, kissing her soundly. Alyssa sighed happily and her lips moved to match his tender kisses.

They eventually parted lips and John leaned back to look deeply into her sky-blue eyes.

*Now it's time to talk about something else* He thought for her benefit.

Alyssa smiled looking bashful.

"So when did this start exactly? Have you always been psychic?" he asked curiously.

Alyssa shook her head animatedly "No, It started off with just being able to feel your emotions" she explained "then one day I started to be able to hear your voice in my head".

"Why didn't you say anything?" John asked.

"Well at first I worried I might be going crazy" Alyssa admitted "Then when I realised I was listening to your inner voice, I ended up just constantly tuning in, as it was fascinating to hear what you were thinking".

"Hmm" John said dubiously. He wasn't sure if he should feel violated, or worry about his young lovers budding new abilities.

"Oh please don't think about it like that!" Alyssa said with alarm. "I didn't tell you, because listening to what you were thinking helped me say the right things to you".

John looked confused.

"Ok, do you remember when we first went into the Commander's ready room and you were feeling a bit intimidated about taking command over your old ship?" she asked carefully.

"Yes, it was hard getting used to being the one in charge" he admitted, nodding.

"So then we had some fun and you were very masterful, do you remember?" she said gently, trying not to make it sound like she had been manipulating him.

John remembered very well that feeling of dominance when he hosed her down in the ready room. He realised with a start that from that point onwards, all lewd jokes aside, he really had felt like he had marked his territory and he hadn't been troubled by the same feelings of insecurity. 

"Or when you've been dwelling on bad events from your past, I just distract you a bit, as I don't like seeing you get sad" she explained sincerely.

John thought back over the last several weeks and found himself suddenly aware of the dozens of times she had subtly been listening to his thoughts and then had done something to make him feel better. All those occasions when he thought she was just being very perceptive. He raised his eyebrows in surprise, having gained a newfound appreciation for his young lover.

Alyssa sighed happily, he had understood her benign motives after all.

"Ok I admit, I love the way you've seemingly been able to read me like a book and react to what I'm thinking" John said, realising it was true. "but why did it come as such a shock when you read Seb's mind?"

"Well for two reasons I guess" The beautiful teen said, thinking to herself. "You're inner voice feels so lovely in my mind, you're nearly always thinking nice thoughts. Seb's voice was angry, dark and ugly and it was unpleasant to suddenly tune into it". 

"Also, that's the first time I've heard anyone else's inner voice except for yours, oh and the Bolon of course" she clarified for him.

"What about the Bolon?" John asked confused.

"Oh I think they're psychic" she told him nonchalantly. "That one we met at Port Heracles spoke to my mind. He was very nice and polite" she said, remembering the kindly alien.

"Well I'll be damned!" John exclaimed. No wonder the Bolon had such a reputation as sharp traders!

"Wait a minute" he said "What about Calara? Can you read her thoughts too?"

"No" Alyssa answered honestly. "A few days ago I started to pick up emotions from her, but I can't read her mind" she said casually.

John tapped his chin thoughtfully "Do you think she's going to develop this kind of ability too?" he wondered.

"I don't think so" Alyssa said confidently. "I've not read any kind of unusual panic or worry from her, she just seems very happy and content" the young woman smiled as she focused on the tiny presence in her mind that was currently surging with those emotions.

"My empathic abilities manifested after only a few days and Calara's been with us for a couple of weeks now" she explained.

"I don't want to keep any secrets from her, but I also don't want her to freak out. I honestly have no idea whether we should tell her or not" Alyssa admitted.

"Let's just keep this between us for the moment" John said. "both Calara and Sparks have gone through a lot recently, so let's try not to throw them any more curveballs than we have to".

Alyssa nodded her agreement.

"So how does it work exactly?" John asked curiously. "Can you just delve into my mind and find out anything I know?"

Alyssa shook her head. "I just seem to pick up on what you're thinking about at the moment. It's actually very soothing having you in my head, so I've been pushing how far I can pick up your thoughts. I hate not being able to hear you" The beautiful blonde admitted.

John's curiosity was peaked "So what range are you at now?" he asked.

"nearly 500 metres" Alyssa said casually "The ship isn't big enough to test any further".

"500 metres! Wow, that's incredible!" John gasped. 

"It was hard to start with, but the more I practiced, the easier it became to extend the range. Anything up to 500 metres is effortless now" The blonde explained.

John glanced at the clock on the wall. "Come on, let's not keep Calara waiting" he said and they both got up and stretched.

"Thanks for being so honest with me" he said as he pulled Alyssa in for a hug. "Just let me know if anything else changes" he requested, his concern for her ringing in his voice.

Calara kissed him fondly and nodded agreeably. They dressed quickly and turned to check on Sparks one last time before they left, the pale young girl was still sleeping soundly.

John and Alyssa were slightly early, so they busied themselves preparing dinner for Calara, wanting to make her feel special. The Latina arrived a short while later and was delighted to see John had prepared her a Carbonara, one of her favourite Italian dishes. Her brothers used to give her a hard time whenever she ordered it at a restaurant, saying she had got mixed up and thought the waiter was asking her name. She smiled to herself, surprised at how much she missed their dumb, good natured humour.

Alyssa poured some wine and they had a great meal, chatting together amiably. 

"Thanks you two, that was amazing!" the gorgeous brunette sighed happily. "How did you know that Carbonara was my favourite?" she asked curiously.

"Lucky guess honey" John admitted "but I'm really glad you enjoyed it" he said, happy to hear she liked his cooking.

"Makes a change from having dinner on our knees, eh Calara?" Alyssa smiled playfully.

Calara burst out laughing. "Oh I don't know, John's four chefs always manage to whip up something tasty!" she grinned at her lovers. "Speaking of full tummies, how is Sparks getting on? I assume you served her the John special?" She smiled mischievously.

John groaned. "I think Alyssa's being a bad influence on you Calara!" he complained good naturedly as the two girls giggled happily together.

"To answer your question..." he went on "she's resting at the moment. I'll go check on her in a while, to make sure she's ok".

"Out with the old, in with the new!" Calara joked, with an over the top frown on her theatrically sad face. "I remember when I was at your beck and call, but now I'm cast aside for the some new girl"

"Hey, what about me!" Alyssa interjected. "I was his beck and call girl for weeks and now I've been usurped twice!" she said, her face looking like a Greek tragedy mask.

The two of them giggled away, the wine having a not inconsiderable effect on the young women. The rest of the evening followed a similar vein, with John finding himself the butt of more than a few jokes. He had a great time however, as it was lovely to see his two gorgeous young women having so much fun. The two of them were really turning him on, as he loved how vibrant and happy they were and he desperately wanted to take them to bed. He remembered how much Sparks' recovery meant to Alyssa though, so he avoided any temptations. He saw her looking at him fondly when he thought this and her big blue eyes thanked him wordlessly.

Eventually it was getting late, so they cleared up and headed to bed. Calara didn't want to sleep alone and the other two wouldn't have let her in any case. This posed a conundrum: How do three women sleep around their man when he only has two sides? The girls reasoned that Sparks was fast asleep and would be completely oblivious, so Calara and Alyssa should get to sleep on either side of John. 

They checked on Sparks one last time but she was still slumbering peacefully. The happy trio snuggled up together and John relished having his teenage lovers cuddled up with him. They soon joined Sparks in the world of dreams and they fell into a deep restful sleep.

The next morning Sparks was still out cold. John woke up early with a raging erection, his body picking up on the delectable pheromone scents from the three young women. He groaned quietly to himself, remembering that he had to wait for Sparks to wake up, which wouldn't be for another hour or so. He extricated himself from Alyssa and Calara's embrace and moved cautiously to the edge of the bed, careful to not wake up the sleeping girls. He sat there quietly on the huge bed and breathed deeply, assuming a meditative pose. He centred himself and felt calm and focused again.

He looked at the gorgeous blonde and brunette where they lay snuggled together and had a mischievous thought. Perhaps Alyssa was proving to be a bad influence on him too! He moved back up the bed and gently peeled up the bottom edge of the covers, so he could ease his way under them. 

John saw Calara's lovely coffee coloured legs and gently parted them so he could move between her thighs. He began to lap away at her pussy, gently licking each side of her labia and enjoying the soft, young skin under his tongue. Calara's pussy was completely bare as well, which meant that going down on her was much easier. She felt wonderfully smooth and he mused idly how she and Alyssa always managed to stay so well groomed.

He began to hear contented sighs coming from the Latina as he gently explored her pussy with his tongue. She suddenly started awake and twisted her hips, lifting up the covers to see who was between her legs. Her beautiful face relaxed when she saw his smiling eyes looking up at her and she sighed happily when he spread her legs again with his strong hands and continued his loving caresses with his lips and tongue. She stifled a gasp when his tongue brushed her clit, and then had to grab her pillow and cover her face to muffle her moans when he really began to lap away at her young body. 

John slowly inserted two fingers into her pussy and began to glide them in and out of her tight young snatch in time with the strokes of his tongue. Calara arched her back and groaned into the pillow as she came long and hard for him. Her firm thighs trembled uncontrollably and then the muscles in her beautifully toned tummy flexed and clenched as she climaxed. Eventually her body relaxed and John kissed her gently on her labia and then her olive coloured thighs, causing some additional tremors. Calara drew her legs up and rolled to the side, sighing contentedly.

"One down, one to go!" John thought to himself as he moved stealthily over to Alyssa's long athletic legs. He was careful not to disturb Sparks and he gently spread his blonde lover's tanned, toned thighs to give him room to begin. He followed a similar pattern with her as he had done with Calara. Careful exploratory kisses and licks, just on the velvety skin on the inside of her thighs, before moving inwards to focus on Alyssa's labia. She was deliciously smooth too, and his wet tongue glided effortlessly up and down the entrance to her pussy. He stayed away from her clit so that he wouldn't wake her abruptly.

Alyssa's relaxed body began to writhe sensuously and she carefully peeled back the covers as she awoke, knowing immediately who was making her body feel so good. "Hello handsome" she whispered quietly to him, before closing her eyes and letting him get to work. John used every trick he knew, getting the blonde more and more turned on, but not letting her have her release. She clasped his head in her hands, with her hips hunching mindlessly as she drew nearer and nearer to her orgasm but he wouldn't let her finish. 

The gorgeous teen stared down at him, locking eyes with his as she enjoyed the escalating waves of pleasure, before he finally had mercy and his rapidly moving tongue stroked her throbbing clit in a blur, triggering a massive climax. Alyssa's eyes rolled back and her back arched as she came explosively, her tight pussy gripped his two fingers tightly as he rubbed her G-spot. John enjoyed watching the stunningly attractive girl writhe, as she rode out her climax and tried her best to stifle her moans and gasps.

Unfortunately Alyssa's sexy whimpers had woken Sparks a while beforehand. She had awoken feeling amazing, her body tingling all over and charged with energy. She was inexplicably very thirsty though, so she was about to get up to get a drink when her memories of the previous day's events came flooding back and she shrank back into the covers feeling embarrassed.

Her entire life felt like it had been turned upside down, what with escaping her indentured servitude with the Diablo gang, that terrifying shoot out at the dock, leaving Karron and finally ending up on this luxurious Cruiser, reunited with Alyssa. It was enough to make her head spin! She lay there for a few moments just trying to get to grips with it all, when she heard breathy feminine sighs coming from just to the side of her. She peeked over the covers and watched John going down on Alyssa, her outrageously beautiful friend gasping and moaning as her lover brought her closer to climax.

Sparks felt like she should look away, but she found she couldn't. She had never seen anyone as incredibly beautiful as the lovely blonde and her eyes were glued to the erotic scene. That was when she noticed she had a fellow voyeur. Calara, the gorgeous Latina who was also in a relationship with John and Alyssa, was lying on her side enjoying the sexy show. She spotted Sparks and smiled at her warmly, her big brown eyes friendly and inviting. 

Calara got up and walked over to the wall mounted water dispenser, remembering how thirsty she had been the first time she had woken up after being with John. She filled up a chilled glass and brought it around to Sparks, the glass glistening with condensation from the cold water. There was a time she would have been mortified at wandering around the room nude, but like so many things recently, that had changed. John and Alyssa loved to see her statuesque body and truth be told, Calara felt proud of her new figure, causing all self consciousness and anxiety to disappear.

She walked up to Sparks, who looked a little nervous and then climbed into bed to her side. 

"I'm sure you must be feeling thirsty, this will make you feel much better" She said quietly to the pale teenager lying next to her. The lovely Latina handed over the glass and then watched John putting Alyssa through her paces. 

"He's so good with his tongue!" She thought dreamily, remembering waking up to John lapping away at her expertly.

She looked down at Sparks, seeing that she had gulped down the drink and was now clutching the empty glass in her hands nervously. Calara removed it carefully and set the glass on the side cabinet, before turning to lie on her side, watching the ghostly white redhead. 

"Thank you for what you did for her" She whispered to Sparks, not wanting to disturb Alyssa as John brought her ever closer to orgasm.

Sparks looked back at her quizzically.

"Alyssa loves you very much" she said quietly, studying the petite girl. She paused for a moment, considering her words "she told us about her past and how you saved her". Sparks looked a little embarrassed. 

"Don't be embarrassed, you did a wonderful thing. If not for you Alyssa might not be with us now and I'm so very glad that she is". The stunningly beautiful brunette moved her right hand up to gently cup the redheads face and then dipped her head down and pressed her soft full lips against the girl's cheek and kissed her tenderly. "Thank you" Calara said again, her big brown eyes full of gratitude.

Sparks looked up in amazement at the Latina. She found her a little intimidating as she was so gorgeous, but she was just so sweet and nice. There was no duplicity in her actions and Sparks could tell everything she was saying was genuine and heartfelt. After growing up around the backstabbing and betrayals that were commonplace in a street gang, it took a little getting used to.

"I really envy you" Calara sighed quietly, smiling.

"You what?!" Sparks blurted out incredulously. She glanced to the side, worried she had disturbed Alyssa, but she saw her friend was already in the throes of her climax, her back arched in a graceful curve as she experienced a thunderous orgasm.

Calara smiled at her reaction. She slipped a slender, coffee coloured hand under the covers and gently brushed her fingertips in circles over the redheads tiny, slim, tummy. Sparks froze up and then eventually relaxed as the Latina stroked her softly. Calara leaned closer so that her full lips were at Sparks' ear.

"When I first joined them, I was like you. For the next few weeks, John filled my belly over and over again and I loved every second. Now I look like her..." Calara whispered, her eyes flickering to the writhing blonde at their side "...and now it's your turn".

Sparks still had trouble believing this body change insanity, but there was no doubting Calara's sincerity. Sparks rolled to her side, so her eyes were inches from Calara's. "Thank you for being so nice" she said, touched by the Latina's efforts to make her feel a part of their unconventional group.

Calara leaned forward and carefully planted a delicate kiss on Sparks' mouth, their lips only just brushing. "You're welcome" the brunette breathed as she looked at her with sensual eyes.

Sparks was shocked for a moment, but the tender kiss felt like such a natural thing to have done, her mind quickly got over the fact that this was the first time she had been kissed by another girl. They lay looking at each other quietly, Calara's hand still stroking the redheads slim tummy reassuringly.




Three Square Meals Ch. 11



The peaceful moment was broken by the sudden appearance of Alyssa's beautiful face and her long mane of golden blonde hair over Sparks shoulder. 

"Good morning ladies!" she greeted them both happily. 

Alyssa leaned further over and Calara tilted her head up so that they could kiss each other affectionately, their wet tongues dancing delicately. Sparks watched the girls kiss from only inches away and found herself getting very turned on. The redhead considered herself strictly heterosexual, but these two ethereal beauties were just so natural in their sexuality, that her body yearned to be a part of it. 

The gorgeous blonde pulled back and looked down at Sparks appraisingly. The mischievous glint in Alyssa's eyes made the redhead wonder if she was going to be on the receiving end of a similar kiss and she was surprised at feeling a little disappointed when Alyssa sat back down at her side.

"Are you ready for breakfast?" The blonde asked her pointedly.

"You're talking about me and John..." Sparks said haltingly. 

"Yes, him filling your tummy with cum" Alyssa nodded approvingly "John's full up, he needs your help!"

Sparks glanced back at Calara who smiled at her warmly and then looked back up at Alyssa who was beaming happily at them both. Sparks decided she might as well embrace the insanity. Tapping into a previously unknown well of confidence, she sat up and moved to kneel in front of John, who had been watching their interaction with interest.

"Good morning" he smiled at her "Don't let Alyssa bully you into doing anything you don't... mmph!" The last was cut off as Sparks moved forward to kiss him soundly. 

Their tongues duelled each other playfully as their lips moved passionately. With a start Sparks realised she could taste what must be Alyssa and Calara on his lips. Liking the taste, she threw herself into the kissing with more gusto. She straddled his lap and John cupped her pert little asscheeks in his hands as they made out, her hips writhing as she felt the throbbing heat of his cock under her pussy. 

The redhead leaned back and looked closely into John's eyes "I want to be like them..." she muttered "Confident, sexy, beautiful... yours" she whispered the last, as she moved in to kiss him some more.

John nodded his acquiescence and spread his thighs to make room for the redhead. She knelt before him submissively and enveloped the broad mushroom head of his cock in her mouth. Sparks sucked insistently drawing up pre-cum from his quad and the sweet taste was heady and delicious, coating her tongue as it tantalised her taste buds. Her eyes grew drowsy as his pheromones kicked in and the relaxed, compliant young woman began to smoothly take him into her throat. 

Alyssa and Calara moved to their usual sides as John opened his arms for them both to cuddle into him. They snuggled up against him, their big breasts feeling warm and soft against him skin. They each ran a hand over his chest, feeling his strong muscles and leaned up to kiss his neck from either side.

"This feels so right" Calara sighed happily.

"She's going to fit in perfectly" Alyssa agreed contentedly, watching Sparks taking John deeper and deeper.

John just sighed the self-satisfied sigh of a man who has a willing girl ready to take his load. His balls felt full to the brim, taut and primed after being turned on for most of the previous evening and then all the foreplay fun earlier this morning. He knew that a satisfying orgasm was absolutely guaranteed for him now, he just had to choose when.

He was loving this, he admitted to himself. One gorgeous teen cuddled up with him on each side and another girl knelt between his legs taking care of his cock. He didn't know what he'd done to ever deserve such good fortune, but he was going to enjoy every minute of it!

He looked down as Alyssa and Calara continued to gently kiss his neck, looking up at him. He looked at each of them in turn and he could see their excitement and eagerness for him to cum. Cum in another girl he thought, his breath getting quicker. Yes, he realised, he very much wanted to add the redhead to his growing harem. The thought of all three of them with rounded bellies full of his spunk was intoxicating. He held his first two girls tightly against him, feeling their youthful breasts squash up against his chest as he began to blow his nut down the new girls throat.

"Aaahhhhh!" he groaned as his balls pulsed again and again, blasting hot jets of cum into the kneeling redhead. Her body had become more malleable after being so tautly stretched the first time and her belly expanded smoothly, filling up with his substantial load. John moaned loudly as spurt after spurt shot down the length of his cock and into the rapidly filling stomach below. He revelled in the feeling of being drained completely dry as Sparks sucked relentlessly, trying to get every last sweet tasting morsel. Finally he had nothing left to give and he relaxed, the tension easing out of his body. 

John released his grip on Alyssa and Calara, who's eyes were shining with excitement at seeing John relishing his powerful climax. They moved over to Sparks who had let John's softening cock slip out of her mouth and they saw that the pale girl's thighs were splayed wide open to make room for the gravid weight of her belly. The big round sphere sloshed as she sat up slightly, pints of cum packed into her once slender stomach, as her ghostly white hands ran over the rotund contours of her filled out tummy. Even the girl's belly button had popped out, she had taken in so much.

Alyssa and Calara moved to either side of the redhead and gently stroked her burgeoning stomach as well. 

"She looks amazing" Calara sighed enviously "I wish I had a nice full tummy like that right now".

"Don't worry, John will use us again when his cum has worked its magic on Sparks" Alyssa said reassuringly. 

"I know" Calara replied "It's just going to feel like a long couple of weeks!"

Alyssa smiled at her affectionately, before easing Sparks down on to the bed so that she could sleep off her heavy meal.

The girls cuddled up with John while he recovered from his orgasm, before they all got up and got dressed and then went to have breakfast in the Officer's lounge. They had a nice meal, and then relaxed together for a little while, enjoying each other's company before they split up to go about their normal routine. Alyssa still wanted to practice at the range and Calara wanted to keep an eye out for pirates, which left John with nothing to do. He decided to go back to his room and catch up on Galactic news and wait for Sparks to wake up.

The Holonet was full of stories of atrocities by the Kintark. The reptilian race was being accused of all sorts, which John recognised as typical propaganda from an empire on a war footing. The few snippets of actual news that did manage to filter through all the hyperbole didn't sound good however. John strongly suspected that the Terran Federation had bitten off more than it could chew when it initiated this conflict with the Kintark and he hoped he wasn't going to get dragged into the war. If it did come to that, it might be worth getting the Invictus some upgrades he mused to himself.

The Terran Federation had a real flair for constructing massive ship hulls with lots of potential, but there were hundreds of different space faring alien races and a number of those were more technically advanced than the humans. In his 11 years as a trader, John had built up pretty good relations with most of the major space faring species and he ran through a mental checklist of potential upgrades and the species that had the most advanced tech in those particular areas.

The Kintark were experts at manipulating plasma, but trading with the reptilian species for plasma weaponry was basically out of the question now, so that left the following on his list:

Brimorians - Shields

Trankarans - Engines

Maliri - Laser weaponry

Ashanath - FTL drives and Power cores

Replacing the main guns on the Invictus would be a huge undertaking, as the ship was basically built up around the Mass drivers. John guessed that changing that weapon dramatically would require a major refit, taking months of time in a drydock, so he decided to leave the railguns in place for the time being. Still that gave him a decent shopping list. Once they had sold off their cargo of Tyrenium, he would make a decision on where to head too first.

Sparks began to stir at his side, so he turned off the Holonet. The redhead stretched contentedly before opening her eyes and looking up at him. John was pleased that she wasn't shocked or embarrassed to see him there and she smiled up at him when he leaned down to give her a gentle kiss.

"How are you feeling?" He asked tentatively "Did you sleep well?"

Sparks sighed contentedly "This bed feels amazing, I slept like the dead!" she sighed contentedly. She moved to sit up, but found it difficult to do so, her face showed her alarm when she felt the heavy weight sitting around her waistline. She flung off the covers and was shocked to see her rounded stomach, her young body not having had enough time to fully absorb all the heavy protein that John had pumped into her belly.

"Holy fuck!" She blurted out "What happened?!"

John smiled, feeling a sense of déjà vu. He was sure he had gone through almost the exact same conversation with Alyssa.

"When I cum, I cum a lot" he explained carefully. "For the first few times, the girl swallowing seems to suffer memory loss, so she never remembers being stuffed so full. I was really turned on though and had stored up a big load and you're also very slim and petite, so that's why your still showing" he said, stroking her swollen tummy soothingly.

Sparks had calmed down now and was able to think rationally. "So how are you able to generate so much cum?" She asked curiously, enjoying the gentle touch of his strong hand.

John got up from the bed and quickly stripped off his clothes. He knelt at her side, so she could study his anatomy.

"Wow! Four balls!" Sparks exclaimed as she examined him closely. "May I?" she asked, her curiosity peaked.

"Sure, go ahead" John replied encouragingly.

The pale girl reached out tentatively and began to feel the four heavy spheres, taking each into her small hand in turn. "They're so big!" She said in wonder. "Just how much do you cum?"

"I've never actually measured it, but at least 4 pints I would guess" he pondered "More if I'm really turned on".

"That's amazing" Sparks said in wonder. "So what are you exactly?" she asked him bluntly.

John laughed at her question good naturedly "I'm half human, but I've no idea what my father was. My mother disappeared shortly after I was born, so I never got to ask her about him" he explained.

"Well I think you're pretty cool, whatever you are!" Sparks smiled at him, as she ran an exploratory finger along one of his pointed ears.

"Thanks, I think you're pretty cool too" He said smiling at her warmly.

Sparks laughed at that. "So when do you want to fill me up again?" she asked curiously.

"How about we wait until your tummy goes down, then we can take it from there" John suggested.

"Besides, I'd like to take you on a tour of the ship and it's going to be harder for you to get around if you're carrying a massive load of my cum" he said, stroking her rounded little tummy again.

Sparks looked up at him shyly and placed her pale delicate hand on top of his as he caressed her swollen abdomen. "I think I finally understand why Alyssa and Calara love this so much"

"Really? Why's that?" John asked, curious.

"It feels like you own me" She said quietly, as she blushed prettily "that I'm just here to service you whenever you need. I feel totally submissive and its very arousing".

"Do you like the thought of being my property?" He asked her, finding this conversation surprisingly exciting.

Sparks bit her lower lip and then looked directly into his eyes "Mmm-hmm" she nodded.

"Good" he said confidently. "I like the thought of you belonging to me" he said honestly. He moved to her side, and let his stroking hand glide lower and between the young girl's legs. She looked up at him trustingly and spread her thighs wide, making room for his heavy hand. 

John lifted his hand back up to her mouth and placed his first two fingers at her lips. The redhead parted her lips and began to suck on his fingers, her light blue eyes maintaining eye contact with him. When his fingers were nice and wet, John trailed them down over her body and back between her legs. He gently began to slide the first one in to the young woman's tight little pussy which elicited a gasp of excitement from her. He pushed in deeper until he suddenly felt the resilient barrier of her hymen. John lay down on his side beside her.

"When I take you the first time, I'm going to be very gentle and it will feel wonderful" he said reassuringly.

Sparks looked up into his eyes trustingly and nodded her acceptance.

"Would you like the girls there too, or just me?" he asked quietly, as he moved his fingers up to stroke the redhead's throbbing clit.

Sparks gasped at the tantalising, unfamiliar touch. "Just you..." she moaned, as she felt John's fingers caressing her intimately.

"Cum for me now" he urged her "Show me what you'll look like when you cum around my cock" he said, stroking his fingers on her clit rapidly.

"Ooohhhhhh!!" The teenager gasped, as her she came hard and her pussy clenched reflexively over and over again.

"That's a good girl" he said comfortingly, just holding her as she basked in the afterglow of her orgasm.

"That felt amazing" the redhead said after a few minutes, sighing contentedly.

John smiled at her warmly "Glad to be of service" he said, tipping an imaginary hat.

Sparks laughed happily.

"Ready to get up and have a look around?" he asked her tentatively.

The young girl nodded, eager to explore and they got up and dressed quickly. John offered her his hand and they walked along the corridor with their hands clasped. The door opened to the elevator and they got in. 

"Let's go and find Alyssa, I'm sure she'd enjoy showing you around too"

Sparks smiled, nodding agreeably and they headed down to the floor just above the cargo bay and docking bay. The door swished open quietly and they strolled down the corridor towards the Firing Range. John pushed the button that would open the soundproof door and a sudden barrage of noise overwhelmed them.

"Brrt!" "Brrt!" "Brrt!" came the chatter of an assault rifle firing three round bursts, along with what sounded like a howling gale.

Alyssa was standing at the range, blasting away at targets. What made the shooting more remarkable was that she had set up the in-range fans to add massive wind disruption to make the shots harder, but she was still hitting centre mass with every burst.

John pressed a control on the wall panel by the side of the range which turned off the fans. Alyssa looked over at them and smiled widely, before she removed a set of noise cancelling headphones.

"Planning to go shooting in a hurricane?" he said with a big grin on his face.

Alyssa's musical laughter filled the room. "No, just having some fun, I've been experimenting with ballistics. Want to see something cool?"

Sparks and John nodded, so Alyssa handed them their own sets of noise cancelling headphones. She reactivated the fans, turning them up to gale force again, then hit a series of other buttons. A fresh set of targets appeared with clean targeting grids on them. Suddenly a series of walls sprang up half way down the range, blocking line of sight to the targets completely. John was familiar with these obstacles; The shooter just had to press another couple of buttons and the targets would move adjacent to the walls, so that you could get used to shooting at enemies in cover.

Alyssa left them as they were however and grinned at him impishly. She stood back at the range.

"Brrt!" "Brrt!" "Brrt!" came the muted chatter of an assault rifle, dulled by the headphones. 

The beautiful blonde moved back to the side panel, pressing a button that dropped the walls and then another that brought the targets up to them for their inspection.

"Ta daa!" She exclaimed, mimicking a fanfare.

John went to examine the three targets and found each one hit centre mass by the three rounds from each burst.

"You shot around the walls?!" Sparks said in awe.

"It's simple really, you just have to calculate the velocity of the round and how much drift the wind will cause" Alyssa smiled and shrugged as if it was nothing.

John was amazed by his youthful protégé. First Navigation and now Marksmanship, it seemed she could turn her hand to anything and become a master at the profession in next to no time.

"This is amazing honey" John said, more than a little shocked. "Saying I'm proud of you doesn't seem adequate" He opened his arms and wrapped his young lover in a warm hug. "You're an incredible woman Alyssa" he said earnestly.

The beautiful blonde beamed up at him, blissfully happy. She pulled his head down for a kiss and then when they embraced again, she whispered in his ear. "I heard your conversation with Sparks. Thank you John, you were wonderful with her". 

They broke apart from the hug so that Sparks wouldn't feel awkward.

*You're more than welcome honey* John thought to her. *She's a lovely girl, I'm starting to really like her. Thank you for suggesting she join the crew.*

Alyssa grinned at him happily.

"I'm taking Sparks on a tour of the Invictus. I thought you might like to come along too, help show her about?" John asked.

Alyssa nodded excitedly "Wait till you see the rest of the ship!" she said to the petite redhead, giving her a big hug. She then put away her gear and they headed out of the firing range to show Sparks her new home.



Three Square Meals Ch. 12



John led the girls down the corridor to the room adjacent to the Firing Range. He pressed the button opening the door and ushered them into the Armoury. 

This vast room was originally used to store weapons and armour for the cruiser's compliment of 300 marines. With no need to store that much gear any more, row after row of empty weapon racks and armour lockers filled the room, looking forlorn and abandoned. Sparks looked around, wondering why he would bring her to such an enormous empty room.

"We have no use for an Armoury this size, so I'd like to convert it for you to use as your workshop" John suggested, watching to see the redheads reaction.

Sparks looked bewildered for a moment "This room is absolutely huge!" She said stunned. "I can have all this area of the ship for myself?"

"You can start small if you like and then expand the workshop whenever you need more space" John suggested. "When we get to the Olympus shipyard, we can go shopping. Just pick whatever equipment you need and I'll have it fitted in here for you".

Sparks eyes shone with excitement and she wrapped him in a big hug. "This is the best present ever!" she exclaimed.

John and Alyssa laughed, pleased that the teenager was so happy.

"What are you going to work on first?" Alyssa asked her petite friend.

Sparks looked deep in thought for a moment. "Hmm I've got some ideas. Do you mind if I keep it a secret and surprise you later?" She asked excitedly.

"No, we trust you. Have fun!" John said smiling.

Sparks squealed with glee and did a little dance, making John and Alyssa laugh at her antics.

"Ready to have a look at the rest?" John asked the ecstatic young woman.

"Lead on!" The redhead grinned, walking over to him and Alyssa.

John led them out of the armoury and showed her the pharmacy and medical bay. Sparks was fascinated by the state of the art medical equipment and he let her explore a little. Alyssa looked a bit twitchy, so John moved up to her side and put his hand on her shoulder.

"Are you ok? You look a little uncomfortable" he asked concerned.

"Something about this room creeps me out" Alyssa said awkwardly. 

John nodded his agreement "I've never felt comfortable around medical facilities either" he admitted.

"It's something else" Alyssa said looking distant "like the room echoes with pain". She shook her head abruptly as if to clear her mind.

"Come on Sparks, lots more to see" John said, worried about the young blonde woman.

Alyssa laid a reassuring hand on his arm "Don't worry, I'm fine" she said quietly and smiled up at him warmly.

Still, John ushered out the two girls and led them on to the gym. Sparks was another non-swimmer so she was less than enthusiastic about getting too close to the pool. 

"I'll teach you both to swim, you'll love it I promise!" John said confidently.

Alyssa remembered how enjoyable the Jacuzzi was once she had overcome her initial fears about the large volume of water. She realised she would no doubt feel the same about the swimming pool eventually. 

"Maybe we could start tomorrow?" She asked John bravely.

"Sure, that would be great!" John said, pleased that his young lover was warming up to the idea.

Sparks looked a bit dubious, "hmm maybe" she said cautiously. Like Alyssa, she had grown up on a dusty asteroid and had never seen such an enormous amount of water before. The pool looked terrifyingly deep to her inexperienced eyes and the thought of being plunged in there scared her more than a little.

"There's no rush" John said soothingly. "Just let me know when you feel ready".

John let the girls leave first before following after them. "That's it for this level, how about we go down to the bottom deck and I'll show you the docking bay and Cargo bay?" he suggested amiably.

"Let's go Mr tour guide!" Sparks said, grinning.

They took the elevator down to the lowest level of the Invictus and John led them through the heavy set of double doors into the Docking bay. It was a huge area, currently completely unused except for the anti-grav sled that they had been given at Olympus shipyard.

"I need to look into acquiring a dropship" John said, thinking out loud as he and the girls walked into the cavernous area. "We might need to go somewhere that's too big for the Invictus to dock".

"I still can't believe you actually own all this yourself" Sparks marvelled.

"Yes, John owns everything on board" Alyssa smiled mischievously, as she recalled the conversation she had eavesdropped on earlier through her link with John's mind. 

Sparks blushed a little, but couldn't deny that the beautiful blonde's innuendo laden comment turned her on.

"You're such a vixen" John laughed at Alyssa affectionately.

"Come on ladies, I'll show you the cargo bay next" he said, guiding them back through one set of robust double doors and then on to the cargo bay through an identical set. 

The huge open space yawned open in front of them. The 20 tons of Tyrenium was carefully secured to the deck of the cargo bay in four sturdy crates, each one approximately five feet cubed. 

"Why did you still buy the Tyrenium if you knew Seb was going to betray you?" Alyssa asked John curiously as she looked at the crates.

"Well if we'd just cancelled the deal, who knows what he would have done. Coming back to the Invictus where Calara could support us with the defence grid seemed like the best tactical choice at the time" John explained.

"Besides, we also picked up all this Tyrenium at a ridiculously cheap price and as the transaction is legally binding, there's nothing Seb can do about it now" he grinned smugly.

Alyssa laughed at John's cunning plan. "So soon you're going to be even more fabulously wealthy?" she said amused.

"I think I'm going to need as much cash as I can get" John grinned. "The last time we went shopping on Gravitus cost me a pretty penny!"

"Oh wow!" Alyssa said, her eyes lighting up. "Of course, another shopping trip for Calara and Sparks would be amazing!" she grinned excitedly. 

"We never did get a chance to invite Rachel for dinner either" she said, her eyebrow arched suggestively.

John laughed along with her. Sparks was quiet however and her attention seemed to be elsewhere.

"Are you ok there Sparks?" John asked, curious as to what was keeping her so absorbed.

"Yeah, sure John" Sparks said distractedly, staring up at the ceiling.

"What are you looking at Sparks?" Alyssa asked inquisitively.

"My new workshop is overhead isn't it?" The petite redhead asked.

John paused for a moment, thinking about the layout of the deck above them. "Yes, its directly above that area there" he said gesturing towards the side of the cargo bay.

"I was thinking maybe if we put in a loading lift, I could bring any big projects down from the workshop into here" Sparks said tentatively.

"Sure" John said, nodding appreciatively "That's a great idea. It will make equipping the workshop much easier too. I'll put in the request for the modification to the Cargo bay as soon as we reach Olympus".

Sparks grinned up at him excitedly "You're the best, thank you!"

Alyssa came up behind her small friend and encircled her in her arms. "She's just the cutest isn't she?" The beautiful blonde said affectionately. She let one of her arms slide lower and gently stroked the redhead's slim tummy.

"John, she needs filling up again" Alyssa said eagerly.

Sparks stared up at John with a hungry look in her eyes and he felt himself get very hard, very quickly. He turned to face the doorway and gestured with his hand for the girls to proceed. He waited for them to go through and then followed them to the elevator.

They went up to the second deck, the sexual tension thick in the air. Sparks was getting very turned on as they walked casually back to John and Alyssa's room, no-one saying anything, but everyone thinking the same thing. Alyssa guided Sparks to the bed and then helped her undress, leaving the pale redhead to climb on to the bed and wait expectantly. 

John stood by and let Alyssa undress him as he looked over his newest conquest. He was pleased to see that Sparks was already starting to look healthier. She had a bit of a pinkish tinge to her previously ghostly pale skin and while she hadn't been as painfully skinny as Alyssa had originally been, she still looked much healthier now and not quite so thin. He stepped out of his trousers as Alyssa finished undressing him and he moved over to the bed, eager to join the willing teenager waiting for him. 

John and Sparks lay together and began kissing, as Alyssa removed her clothes and joined them on the bed. The beautiful blonde cuddled up behind Sparks and ran her hand over her friends slim tummy from behind. She couldn't wait to see her oldest friend swallowing down another big load from John and the thought of the pale redhead with her stomach stuffed full was turning her on immensely. 

Alyssa leaned over and waited for her lover and friend to take a break from their kissing, before leaning in to kiss Sparks herself. Sparks' eyes widened with surprise for a moment, before they became hooded with lust and she began to kiss Alyssa back animatedly. Alyssa slid her tongue between her friend's lips tentatively, not wanting to push the petite redhead too far, but Sparks moaned into her mouth and then encircled the luscious blonde girl's tongue with her lips and began to suck on it gently. The girl's stared into each other's eyes as sparks licked the tip of Alyssa's tongue suggestively.

"You want to suck on something bigger, don't you baby?" Alyssa crooned to the petite redhead.

Sparks nodded, feeling incredibly turned on. 

"John, why don't you see if you can help her out?" Alyssa purred.

John had been watching the teenagers kiss each other for the first time and found it extremely arousing. Seeing Sparks mouth sucking insistently on Alyssa's tongue had his already hard cock feeling like it was made out of steel. When Alyssa invited him to join them, he couldn't wait to replace the blonde's tongue with his hefty prick as he knelt by Sparks' side and presented her with his swollen head. 

The redhead opened her mouth invitingly, her tongue licking both her lips reflexively to make sure they would slide smoothly down his length. John felt her soft wet mouth move forward and slowly envelop his mushroom head and he was amazed that she could open up and take him so comfortably. She suckled on his cock, not going any deeper and just keeping his throbbing helm in her mouth. He could feel her tongue lapping away at the slit at the end of his prick and his quad helpfully provided the eager young girl with a tasty appetiser. He watched her eyes grow dazed and her eyelids slowly close as her body was affected by his pheromones. She moved on autopilot, getting up to then kneel submissively in front of him and begin taking him deeper.

Alyssa watched the action unfold before her and found it very exciting when Sparks knelt in front of John and began to service him. When she saw the teen's eyes began to grow dazed, she moved behind her friend and then slipped underneath her, spreading her pale legs slightly to give Alyssa more room to work. She nuzzled up against her friend's pussy and began to explore her body with her mouth.

Sparks felt a familiar drowsy haze start to overcome her as she eagerly swallowed John's deliciously sweet pre-cum. This time she wavered on the edge of consciousness, fighting the urge to stay in control. She suddenly felt something soft and wet tenderly lapping away at her pussy and the exciting new sensation roused her from the effects of John's potent pheromones. She became sharply aware that her mouth and throat were stretched wide open to accommodate John's massive cock. Her lips were sucking mindlessly at his root and she found her nose brushing against his stomach. She fought down the instant rising tide of panic at the thought of choking and found that she was actually quite comfortable and not in any danger of suffocating. 

She pushed at John's hips gently, urging him to pull out and he carefully withdrew every long inch of his shaft from her throat. She leaned back and was face to face with the throbbing monster that had been buried down her gullet. She kissed the tip in apology as it throbbed, angry to no longer be wrapped in tight teenager.

"Hello" John said, looking down with a concerned look on his face. "Are you ok?"

Sparks nodded shyly and smiled back up at him. "It was just a bit of a surprise to come around and find myself impaled on this monster" the red head said, kissing his annoyed cock to show there were no hard feelings.

"Ohhhh!" the petite teenager gasped out, as Alyssa reminded her of her presence underneath her as she began to lap at her clit with her silky-soft wet tongue. 

Sparks looked down between her thighs and saw the exquisitely beautiful teen looking up at her with smiling eyes as she continued her tender ministrations. Alyssa was too good at what she was doing for Sparks to have any reservations about the Sapphic pleasure she was receiving. She squirmed over her friend's face, thrusting her hips gently as her pussy sought Alyssa's expert tongue. She felt her friend's hands move up to cup her tight little buttocks as though pulling her in closer and then Alyssa really went to work.

Sparks groaned as her body rode waves of pleasure she had never experienced before. She leaned forward hungrily and took John's bulbous head in her mouth, eager to feel him widening her throat once again. She pulled him towards her insistently as she pushed forward and soon she was back at his root, her nose brushing his stomach and her chin touching the tops of his balls. 

She looked down at the taut sack beneath her, the quad full up again and ready to be emptied. She began to swallow eagerly, the constricting grasp of her throat massaging him skilfully and conveying her need. She felt John hold her head gently in his hands and then he began to thrust back and forth slightly, using the tight grip of her body to stroke his length. She sensed the change in him and realised that he was just focused on building towards his climax now, that he was enjoying her greatly and would soon reward her for her efforts.

"Mmmmmppph!" Sparks groaned around him as she came hard. 

Alyssa's relentless tongue combined with the exciting feelings of submission had driven Sparks wild and she writhed as she experienced the most intense climax of her young life. She moaned helplessly around John's cock, buried as it was deep inside her throat.

"Aaaahhhhh!" John yelled, as he pulled the redhead forward so that her lips were wrapped snugly around the base of his shaft. Sparks could feel each burst of cum as it blasted down his cock, her body so tightly wrapped around him that she could sense each trembling jerk of his shaft. She began to feel contentedly full as his blasts of cum splashed into the pit of her stomach and she moaned as he pumped more and more down her throat. 

She was kneeling beneath her man and providing a welcoming home for his spunk. That thought made her eyes roll back as she came hard again, aided helpfully by Alyssa's tireless tongue on her pussy. The redhead could feel her young tummy stretching out to accommodate all of John's cum and it felt amazing to experience it fully conscious for the first time. There was no pain, just a feeling of incredible fullness.

Eventually John's quad was drained dry and Sparks regretfully felt him began to pull back from her throat and out of her mouth. She kissed his cock farewell as it left her mouth, knowing he would be back again in a few more hours to keep her topped up. The redhead tried to look down at her blonde friend, but her sperm packed belly was too big and blocked her view.

John collapsed on the bed and Sparks moved her pussy gingerly away from Alyssa's face and carefully manoeuvred her massively engorged body so that she could lie next to her man. "Her man" she thought to herself, yes, she really did feel like she belonged with him now.

Alyssa snuggled in behind her and began to stroke Sparks' spunk swollen belly with a gentle, protective hand. 

"You did really well" the beautiful blonde whispered encouragingly in her ear. "You must have turned him on a lot, he really filled you up!" she said happily.

"Thank you for letting me share him" Sparks said sincerely, looking up at her friend.

"You're welcum" Alyssa smiled at her mischievously.

John turned to look at them both and smiled affectionately. "Thanks Sparks, you were amazing" he sighed contentedly as he reached down to join Alyssa's hand in caressing the redhead's heavily rounded tummy. 

"I loved it" The redhead replied honestly as she lay between Alyssa and John, enjoying their tender touch. She felt safe and loved for what seemed like the first time in her life and her heart welled up in gratitude to Alyssa for including her in this amazing life. The three of them dozed together for a while, just relishing in their close physical proximity to each other.

Eventually John stretched and got up to use the bathroom. When he returned, he saw that Sparks was asleep and Alyssa was curled up protectively around her.

"I think I'll go and see Calara, see how she's doing" John said to Alyssa.

The beautiful blonde looked up at him and nodded happily "I'll stay here and take care of Sparks. When her tummy has gone down a bit, we'll meet you up on the command deck and we can continue the tour of the ship".

John thought it was a great plan and he leaned over to kiss Alyssa lovingly before he left. She rubbed his nose with an Eskimo kiss when he pulled back from her lips and smiled up at him affectionately. He waved her goodbye and headed down the corridor to take the elevator.

The door swished quietly open when he reached the command deck and he strode out on to the bridge. Calara was sitting at her tactical station, focused intently on a holographic representation of the sector they were travelling through, that floated an inch or so above her console.

"Hey Calara, everything ok up here?" he asked the young woman as he walked down to meet her at her station.

"Oh hey John! It's good to see you" She said, smiling up at him when he arrived at her side.

John leaned down to kiss her and she returned it ardently "There, that's a better hello" he said as he finally pulled away, leaving Calara to sigh happily.

"So Lieutenant, what are you occupying yourself with at the moment?" he said playfully.

"Well Commander..." The gorgeous Latina said, grinning up at him "I'm currently studying the long range scans"

"Have you found anything interesting so far?" John asked, genuinely curious.

"Yes, actually I have" Calara replied, hitting a few buttons on her console. The sector map suddenly reappeared in a much larger hologram in the centre of the bridge. 

"I studied these systems on our way to Karron from Olympus and I noticed we were picking up a lot of wrecks on the long range scans" she explained. 

"I studied the incident reports for each of those wrecks and most of them occurred between Port Heracles and Karron and were logged as pirate attacks" she went on. 

"The Corvette Griffon had been sent out to patrol the area and see if we could find the source of the attacks, but we only investigated a couple of wrecks before we were ambushed..." Calara paused a moment, looking sombre. 

"Well you know what happened next" she said sadly, looking up at him.

"Yes, we rescued you. One of the best things I've done in my life" John said sincerely.

Calara stood and moved to him and John enfolded her in his arms protectively. They stood for a long while and he held her reassuringly as she leaned against him, stroking her lustrous brown hair comfortingly. 

"Sorry John" the lovely brunette apologised, as she wiped a few rogue tears from her eyes, feeling embarrassed.




Three Square Meals Ch. 12



"You have nothing to apologise for honey. Let's talk about something less painful instead" he suggested caringly.

"No, I'm ok" Calara insisted "Besides, this is important. I think I might have found where the pirate attacks are coming from".

John released her from his embrace and the beautiful Latina walked back to her console and hit a few more buttons. "If you look here, here and here" she said, circling the areas that had been attacked on her map in a bright green, "the pirates seem to be hitting three main shipping lanes".

"I've been studying the dates and times of each attack and compared the ships logs from the victims and it looks like the pirates are operating several fleets and are using this system as a base" Calara pressed a couple more buttons and the system map moved to focus on a star called Chendar.

"This is excellent work Lieutenant!" John said genuinely impressed, as he fell naturally back into military parlance with the girl.

"Thank you Sir!" Calara said, proud to have pleased her commanding officer.

John studied the system map closely and saw that there were two Gas giants, several smaller planetoids and an asteroid belt orbiting Chendar. He noticed amongst the installations listed in the system that one of the Gas giants was host to an abandoned Gas mining facility. This wasn't uncommon, as mining bases were commonly stripped and deserted when the resources they were mining were fully tapped out.

"If I was a pirate, that abandoned facility would make a hell of a good base" John mused.

Calara looked up at him with newfound respect "Very impressive Commander! I came to the same conclusion, but it's taken me a few days to put it all together".

"Perhaps I missed my vocation as a pirate?" He smiled at her graciously.

"Or found it as a Pirate hunter" She replied firmly.

John nodded his agreement. This had been a surprising conversation in a few different ways, but mainly he was concerned that Calara seemed to be obsessed with the pirate attacks that had had such a dramatic impact on her life. It was perfectly understandable for her to react this way, but she seemed so happy and content when she was with him over the last few weeks, that he had hoped she had managed to put it all behind her. Clearly she had not, but perhaps some payback might help her, he wondered.

"I think it might be time to stamp out these cockroaches once and for all" John said heatedly.

"What do you say Lieutenant? Time for some summary justice?" he asked her grimly.

"Yes Commander..." Calara said "Well past time"

They stood for a moment studying the map and thinking about all the implications finding this base might have. 

The elevator swished open quietly and as if on cue, Alyssa and Sparks entered the bridge. 

"Wow! You two look very heroic!" Alyssa grinned playfully "I feel like there should be dramatic music playing in the background. What did we miss?"

"Calara found the pirate base" John stated. "I think we should take a little detour and see if we can do something about it" he said ominously.

"I'll lay in a new course immediately!" Alyssa stated as she bounded up the illuminated steps to the Executive Officer's chair. Her hands glided over her console and she began to adjust their current course to divert towards the Chendar System.

"We'll be there in just over three days John" she stated, as the hologram in the centre of the bridge showed her new course plotted in green with an ETA of three days five hours.

"Nice work Alyssa" John said simply, before turning back to Calara. 

"I promised Sparks I'd finish her tour of the ship, do you want to come along too?" he asked, concerned about leaving the troubled Latina for too much time on her own.

"No, I'm ok here, I want to prepare for our assault" Calara said with a steely look of determination in her eyes.

John was about to try to persuade her to come with them, but Alyssa interjected "You two go ahead, I want to stay and discuss our tactics with Calara anyway" she said, waving them away. Being permanently tuned into John's thoughts meant that Alyssa had overheard the entire conversation and was aware of his concerns for their beautiful young lover.

Picking up the look the beautiful blonde gave him, John felt reassured as he knew Alyssa would take excellent care of Calara.

"Ready to go for another wander Sparks?" he asked the redhead, who sensed that something else was going on, but wasn't sure what.

She nodded agreeably and followed him into the elevator and the two of them headed downwards. John could see that Sparks was dying to ask about the conversation on the bridge, so he filled her in on how they had rescued Calara and the trauma that she had experienced at the hands of the pirates. 

Sparks nodded her head shrewdly. "This whole assault on the pirates is purely for her benefit isn't it?" she asked John pointedly.

"Yes" he replied simply. "I don't like pirates and something needs to be done about them, but with everything Calara has put together, we could just report back to Terran Federation Command. They would send out a fleet to mop up the whole pirate operation".

"You think she needs the closure that a personal intervention will bring though, right?" Sparks persisted.

"Yes, I'm hoping it will help Calara put this behind her" John said, narrowing his eyes as he glanced over at Sparks "You are a smart one, aren't you?"

The redhead smiled up at him, blushing slightly.

"It could be dangerous" John warned her. "The Invictus is bound to be much more powerful than any individual ship they have, but they have multiple fleets and we could end up being heavily outnumbered". 

He looked at her closely "If you're worried about safety, we don't have to commit to this attack".

Sparks shook her head vehemently "No, I'm all for it. I've dealt with enough scum to know that some people just don't deserve to live".

She paused and studied his face closely. "You're a good man John. You really care about those girls, don't you?" she asked.

"I love them both very much" he answered honestly "and I'm getting quite fond of you too!" he said, whisking her up in a hug.

Sparks laughed happily and wrapped her arms around him. "Look at me, I'm acting like some giddy schoolgirl!" she said grinning in disbelief at him. 

"A very naughty schoolgirl" John smiled at her, gently patting her still rounded tummy.

Sparks laughed aloud at that, her unscarred cheek blushing prettily. 

"Come on" John said "If we keep talking like this, I'll never be able to show you the rest of the ship!"

"Yes, going on past experiences, you'd probably have to roll me back to our quarters" Sparks grinned as John snorted with laughter.

They eventually managed to keep a lid on the banter enough so that he could continue their tour of the Invictus. He showed her around the dozens of rooms that housed all the vital machinery that kept the ship running; Life support, environmental systems, sensors, fuel control, he found all of them fairly dull, but for Sparks these were the highlight of the tour so far. She was fascinated by the automation of all the ships systems and kept asking him detailed technical questions that were quite beyond him.  

In the end he promised Sparks the Holo-reader that Vice Admiral Charles Harris had given them back at Olympus shipyard. It would helpfully provide detailed documentation on the ship's functions, so it would be invaluable to her in learning about the Invictus. Sparks was literally jumping up and down with excitement at the thought of getting her hands on the Holo-reader.

The teenager was impressed by the ship's magazine and she seemed fascinated by the concept of the Mass drivers and the 200 metre long magnetic rails that accelerated the enormous shells to Hyper-warp. Explaining how the weapons worked got John and Sparks talking about ways they could upgrade the main guns. She suggested two possible options, improving the power of the magnetic rails and improving the explosive yield on the shells. It was an interesting conversation and got John thinking about Alien species that might be able to assist with either. 

Finally they entered the engine room and FTL drive room. Sparks wandered around these in awe, enraptured first by the enormous energy harnessed in the ship's power core and then by the bewildering sophistication of the FTL drive system. John watched her as the petite redhead studied the controls for the power core intently. He could see that she was desperate to touch and investigate, but was managing to hold her curiosity in check through iron will power.

Eventually he managed to lure her away with promises of the Holo-reader and that she could spend all her free time studying it and any of the ships systems she liked. They headed back to the ship's elevator and hit the button to go up to the command deck. 

"Thanks for the tour John, that was amazing!" Sparks said, sighing happily.

"This is your home now, I want you to feel settled here" John replied earnestly, which prompted the petite redhead to reward him with a big hug.

The elevator chimed and the door swished open quietly, leading out on to the bridge. 

Alyssa spun the XO chair around to face them. "You two look like you've had fun" she said, smiling happily.

Sparks grinned back at her, "I had the best time! The Invictus is incredible!" she gushed enthusiastically.

"Do you have the holo-reader Alyssa?" John asked "Sparks wanted it to learn more about the ship"

Alyssa turned and picked up the Holo-reader from the tucked away locker by her console. She walked down the illuminated steps like a graceful model descending from a catwalk. 

"Here you go Sparks" she said and smiled as Sparks took it out of her hands and held the Holo-reader as though it were a priceless artefact. 

"I'll activate the engineering station for you" The beautiful blonde said as she walked back up to the XO's chair. 

She sat down and then her hands danced over the console as she activated the Station for the Chief Engineer. The Engineering station on the left hand side of the room, opposite Tactical, sprung into life. Like before, the panels on the consoles activated one at a time, gradually illuminating the station fully.

John climbed the command podium and took his seat in the Commanders chair. He watched with an amused smile as Sparks walked over and tentatively sat at her new place on the bridge. 

Sparks looked around wide-eyed at the panels of controls, feeling growing excitement at being able to manipulate and control something as awesomely powerful as the Invictus. Setting the Holo reader down on the console, she quickly scanned through the instructions regarding the Engineering station and clicked a number of buttons on one of the panels. A series of holograms materialised around her, showing the energy distribution from the power core, the ship's shield status and finally damage control, which depicted the Invictus all shaded in green.

She spun her chair to look up at the command podium and saw that Calara, Alyssa and John were all watching her.

"Engineering online" she said, grinning at them excitedly. 

"Glad to have you aboard Chief" John grinned back at her.

Alyssa and Calara cheered for the young woman, enjoying seeing her having so much fun.

"Come on ladies, let's go have dinner and celebrate" John said to the girls. 

Alyssa and Calara stood eagerly to join him, but Sparks rose reluctantly, looking back longingly at the Holo-reader as she walked up to join up with them.

"Come on, it'll still be there later" John laughed at her hesitation.

The group got in the elevator and went down to the next level. The elevator chimed and the door swished open. John began to move right to show Sparks the officer's quarters, but they were stopped by Alyssa who placed her hands lightly on each of their chests, halting them in their tracks.

"Calara and I will go and make dinner. You two have other business to attend too first" she said smiling wickedly.

John glanced over at Sparks, expecting her to be blushing with embarrassment, but she was biting her lip excitedly. The redhead glanced his way as well and the look she shared with him had him rock hard in no time.

"We'll join you later" He said to Alyssa and Calara, turning to walk briskly towards his quarters, Sparks practically skipping along at his side.

The stunningly beautiful blonde and brunette shared a look themselves and then smiled coyly at each other. 

"Dinner can wait a little while" Alyssa said to the Latina seductively, sashaying towards the playroom.

"I'm hungry for something else anyway" Calara purred in return, her eyes watching the blonde's luscious figure before she gracefully followed in her footsteps.

Meanwhile, John led the way into his bedroom and the two of them stripped off their clothes. Sparks kissed him eagerly and then she jumped up and wrapped her legs around him as he moved to cup her ass cheeks in his hands and he enjoyed their round, firm and compact feel. He moved over to the bed and sat on the edge with Sparks astride him, still enjoying the feel of her bottom as he massaged her buttocks with his hands.

Sparks looked down at him, a lusty fire burning in her eyes. "Alyssa said you like to fuck tight little teenagers in the ass," she said with heat in her voice.

John separated her cheeks with his strong fingers, causing her to gasp.

"I'll take that as a yes" she hissed. 

"Do you want to fuck me in the ass?" she asked him accusingly.

"I'd push my way into you, right up to my balls and then pound you hard until you begged for mercy" John promised, as he moved the teen up and down his groin, her pussy sliding wetly along his thick throbbing shaft.

"I've never taken a man there before. You'd do that to a poor little virgin?" she said feigning distress.

"Yes, but only because you'd love it" John grunted.

Sparks moaned and looked down at him, nodding slowly and deliberately. 

John took one of his hands from her buttocks and brought it up to her mouth, where she began to suck on one of his fingers suggestively. 

"You know where I'm going to put this, don't you?" He said sternly, as he looked into her eyes. 

Sparks looked back at him, her eyes heavy lidded as she sucked lustily on his finger and nodded imperceptibly. When his finger was nice and slick, he moved it down between her buttocks and began to gently circle her rosebud, getting her slippery and pliant. She gasped when he began to apply pressure and then groaned when the tip of his finger worked its way into the tight little channel. 

John waited a little while and let her get used to the intrusion, while he used his other hand's firm grip on her waist to rock her back and forth on his cock. Her anus felt hot and incredibly tight as he pushed inside her further as soon as he felt her relax.

"Oooohhhhh" Alyssa groaned as her clit was pressed up against the hot length of his cock. John used his strong hold on her to slide her body along his shaft, sending tremors through her excited teenage body. 

"I want you to cum for me" he ordered her "the first time with something in your ass" he continued, as he pushed his thick finger in past the second knuckle. He then concentrated on rubbing her clit against him, by moving her hips up and down.

"Unnnhhhhh!" the redhead groaned as her rear passage clamped down on his finger in a vice like grip and she came hard for him.

"That's a good girl" he complimented her. "You follow my orders well"

Sparks could only lean against him and moan into his shoulder, her body unprepared for the intense climax that had washed over her.

"You're much too tight to take me at the moment though" John lamented "We need to feed you up so that I can fit inside you".

"Yes, that's important" Sparks gasped wholeheartedly, as she writhed in his lap.

John eased his finger out from her body and then holding her around her waist, he lifted her up so that she was standing by the side of the bed, between his parted legs.

"On your knees and get to work" he commanded.

Sparks gasped excitedly and sank to her knees, running her nails along his thighs as she did so. She tilted forward and kissed the end of his angry throbbing cock. She parted her lips and then licked at his head, beckoning him forward into her hot, wet mouth. 

John held his shaft in his right hand keeping his cock nice and steady as it jerked involuntarily. He cupped the back of Sparks head with his left hand and then pulled her forward, sliding her down his length until her lips touch his fingers where he had his cock gripped in his fist. He could feel her mouth move as she tried to kiss his hand, but her lips were stretched tight around his girth so they were only able to brush against him. He rewarded her by removing his hand and then pulling her all the way down her length so that her face was nestled in his groin.

"Mmmmm" Sparks moaned appreciatively around the burgeoning prick forcing her mouth and throat wide open. The vibrations felt amazing around John's cock and when she started to swallow as well, it felt her muscles were trying to milk his cock for him. He held her head in place with both hands and just rocked back and forth with small motions of his hips, as he used her body to stroke his shaft.

Sparks gasped in excitement as she felt John's strong hands hold her head in place. She felt so submissive kneeling in front of him like this and she revelled in him using her mouth to bring himself to climax.

"I'm just his cum bucket" she thought to herself, her thighs rubbing together as she writhed helplessly under his control. 

"I can't do anything except kneel before him and wait until he unloads in my belly" she groaned as she turned herself on even more just thinking about it.

Finally John's insistent thrusting began to grow more erratic as his breathing became laboured. 

"Aaaaahhhhh!!" he bellowed as he pushed himself as far as he could go inside the redhead and then began to cum powerfully straight down her throat and into her waiting tummy.

Sparks felt the heavy rich cum shoot down her throat and splash into her empty stomach. The first couple of thick spurts were enough to fill her slim tummy and then her waistline was forced to expand to make room for all the following jets of spunk. She drank him down hungrily, eager to suck down every last drop as John's quad fed her their freshly created treat.

John pulled back until just his head was in her mouth and with a trembling twitch, John's four balls gave up the last of their cum and Sparks swallowed it down, relishing the sweet taste of the final morsel. His deflating cock slipped from her mouth and Sparks leaned down to kiss his numbly satiated balls tenderly as if to say thanks. He held out his hand to help her to her feet and the redhead rose unsteadily to her feet, unbalanced by the gravid weight of her midsection. He put both hands on either side of her hugely engorged abdomen, holding her protectively as he gently kissed her tightly stretched young skin. 

Sparks ran her hands gently through John's hair as he cupped her sperm packed belly with his hands and kissed it tenderly. The caring gesture strongly reminded her of a man proudly kissing the belly of an expectant woman and she suddenly felt a rush of broodiness.

"Fuck! where did that come from?" She thought to herself in shock. 

Sparks had never even thought about having children before and now the idea felt powerfully arousing. She climbed on to the bed with John, feeling surprised by the unexpected rush of emotions but as she lay on her side and he encircled her teenage body possessively in his strong arms, she snuggled into his comforting embrace and just relished the feelings.

They rested for about 30 minutes and then John's rumbling stomach awoke them from their comfortable doze. Sparks rolled in his arms and looked up at him happily. 




Three Square Meals Ch. 12



"That was extremely hot" John said, smiling down at her. "I wasn't too dominant with you?" he asked with concern in his voice.

"It was very exciting" Sparks answered honestly. "I never considered I'd enjoy being submissive, but it turns me on very much".

They smiled at each other feeling a bit bashful all of a sudden and kissed gently. The tender moment was interrupted by the angry growls from John's stomach.

"Let's go and find the other girls, I'm starving!" John admitted.

"Unsurprisingly I don't feel hungry at all" Sparks said looking wryly at her stuffed full stomach.

"Well you can just dazzle us with your wit while we eat then" John said, getting up and offering her his hand. 

Sparks nodded happily and they got up and dressed. The teenager was about to put on her close fitting top, but one look at her rotund waist stopped her. 

"Wait there a second" John laughed and went into the walk-in-wardrobe. He came out moments later and threw her a white shirt. "Try that on for size" he said.

The shirt was way too big for her, sized as it was for his 6'2" frame, but Sparks found the idea of wearing his shirt strangely exciting. She put on the shirt, rolling back the sleeves and buttoned up the front over her distended tummy. It actually fit reasonably well all things being considered.

"Very nice" John smiled, as he ran his hand over her swollen midrift appreciatively.

They walked hand in hand out of his room and down the corridor, pausing at the sounds of laboured panting coming from the Officers room they had previously renamed the playroom. They looked into the room and saw Alyssa and Calara breathing heavily, sweat glistening over their spectacular bodies as they recovered from their exertions. The stunningly beautiful young women were curled up with each other comfortably as they recovered their breath.

John and Sparks watched them for a few moments, appreciating the flawless beauty of the teenage flesh on display. Alyssa seemed to sense they had company and greeted them with a tired wave of her slender hand.

"You two rest a while, I'll go make dinner" John said, smiling at the girls affectionately.

"Sparks, do you want to hang out with them or keep me company?" he asked the petite redhead at his side. She squeezed his hand gently in response and smiled up at him.

"Ok let's go" he said, glad that she wanted to come along.

They walked to the end of the corridor and with the touch of a wall mounted button, John opened the double doors that led into the Officer's lounge. He led Sparks past all the comfy chairs and sofas and then onwards around the bar as he headed to the kitchen at the other side of the long dining table.

Sparks stopped a moment to look out the lengthy windows on each side of the lounge and marvelled at the incredible views out from the ship. She had grown up in the underbelly of a hollowed out asteroid, with no outside views available to people living in the slums. The vast panoramic blackness filled with the twinkling lights of distant stars was breathtaking and she marvelled at the simple natural beauty of the universe.

The delightful aroma of cooking food drifted out to her nose and she suddenly remembered that she was supposed to be keeping John company. She went into the kitchen feeling guilty and was surprised to see him expertly slicing and dicing vegetables before adding them to the simmering pan in front of him. 

"Ever had paella before?" He asked the petite redhead. 

Sparks shook her head. "I mostly grew up on protein bars and it was best not to ask too many questions about any kind of stews I could barter for" she admitted.

"Well hopefully you'll enjoy trying this" he said, as he added some spices to the meat, rice and vegetables sizzling away merrily in front of him.

"When did you learn to cook?" Sparks asked him curiously.

"My grandparents owned a restaurant and my grandmother was a phenomenal chef" John explained. "I grew up with them and spent a lot of my formative years helping out in her kitchen".

"That sounds amazing" Sparks said wistfully. "I never knew my parents and I grew up in an orphanage and then with the Diablo's".

"What happened to your parents? If you don't mind me asking?" John asked gently.

"I was abandoned. There was no record of either of them" the pale teen told him bleakly. "I don't even know my real name" she said, suddenly looking sad, small and alone.

John moved towards her and wrapped his arms around the young girl protectively in a warm embrace. Sparks shuddered in his arms, crying quietly as she felt the feelings of loss and abandonment that she had kept tightly suppressed for years.

"We're your family now" John whispered gently, stroking her hair softly as she wept.

Sparks looked up at him, her eyes bloodshot from crying and her vulnerability clearly showing on her face. "Please don't ever make me leave" she pleaded, "I don't think I could take it, not after experiencing all this with you and the girls".

"You're not going anywhere" John said, smiling at her reassuringly.

Sparks rested her head on his chest and let out a long, deep sigh. She felt so happy being held by her man and surrounded by the delightful smells of the kitchen.

"I better let you go, or the dinner will get burned" she said, releasing her tight hold around his chest regretfully.

John cupped the side of her face as he looked at her affectionately and then returned to tending to the happily sizzling pan. 

"That was good timing" He said, as he heard the faint sound of Alyssa and Calara chatting from the dining area back in the lounge.

John handed four plates and cutlery to Sparks and he carefully held the sizzling pan in his hand as he pushed open the kitchen door and brought out the food to serve up. John pushed a button on the side of the table and a section in the middle opened out and raised up for him to place the pan on. Sparks placed the plates and cutlery at their settings and then went to the bar to bring back a bottle of wine. John walked around the table to meet the other girls.

"Have fun?" he asked, his eyes twinkling mischievously. 

Calara and Alyssa stole lusty glances at one another, before nodding animatedly.

"You've both been very naughty" John admonished them both. 

"We have?" Calara asked, puzzled.

"Oh yes" he replied. "I want you to both lean against the table and bend over for me"

Alyssa grinned eagerly and bent over, her back arched, her pert round posterior presented for him proudly. Calara glanced at the ravishing blonde and assumed the same position.

"Whack!!" The sound of the stinging slap on Alyssa's taut asscheek reverberated around the room, causing her to gasp excitedly.

John walked up behind Calara, who watched him over her shoulder and looked into her big brown eyes which were widened with shock.

"Are you ready for the same?" he asked her.

The gorgeous Latina bit her lip apprehensively and her eyes flashed with excitement as she nodded her agreement.

"Whack!!" His firm hand spanked her perfectly round young buttock, causing the pliant flesh to tremble with the aftershock of the impact.

Sparks was holding her breath as she watched the scene unfold before her. She felt herself getting very aroused as John chastised his girls.

"What did they do?" Sparks gasped out.

"They had fun in the playroom and they should have joined us, so I could see them together" he explained patiently.

"I'm sorry John" Alyssa told him and moved up to tenderly kiss his cheek.

"It won't happen again" Calara said, moving to stand at his side and gently kiss his other cheek.

"I know, you're good girls" he said, carefully stroking their smarting bottoms reassuringly.

They both grinned up at him loving this new playful side of his character. 

"Now let's eat" he said graciously. "I think we've all worked up an appetite!"

The four of them gathered around the table and sat together as John dished out the Paella. The girls tucked in, eager to try the delicious smelling food and they all thanked him appreciatively as they savoured the contrast between the chicken, seafood and bacon. Trying this dish was a first for both Alyssa and Sparks and they marvelled at how food could taste at the hands of a skilled chef. The wine flowed freely and the conversation followed, as they talked together happily.

John watched the three girls as they chattered animatedly, looking relaxed and happy. He could see that Calara and Alyssa had welcomed Sparks wholeheartedly into their little group and he was pleased to see them all getting along so well. His life had taken a few bizarre twists and turns over the last couple of months and he marvelled at the situation he found himself in now. He felt closer to each of the girls sitting in front of him than any other person in the galaxy and he thought back on his conversation with Sparks earlier in the kitchen. 

"We're your family now"

He really thought of them that way and the same sentence applied to him equally as well. Admittedly it was a slightly unusual family with him as patriarch and the three girls his enthusiastic lovers, but they all cared for each other and that's what really mattered. He knew he would do everything in his power to protect these young women and keep them safe. They had all been through traumatic pasts, but if he anything to say about it, he would make sure that they would never have to experience such pain ever again.

He sighed contentedly and focused on the teenagers again, trying to catch up with the current topic of conversation. Calara and Sparks were engrossed in a lengthy dialogue about the ship's weaponry, but Alyssa was unusually quiet. John focused on her and saw that the stunningly beautiful young blonde was looking at him with big eyes that were welling up with tears. He got up and held out his hand for her to join him and they went to sit on a comfortable sofa overlooking the vista of space. 

"Thank you John, your thoughts were beautiful" she whispered quietly in his ear.

"I overheard what you said to Sparks earlier as well and it felt like the same words applied to me too" she said, her voice catching.

"Of course they do honey" he whispered back to her. "I consider us all a family, but I feel so closely bonded to you, I truly feel like I've discovered my soulmate".

Alyssa sighed happily and the two kissed with soul searing passion as he held the exquisite young woman in his arms. They lost track of time until they eventually became aware of Calara and Sparks cuddled up on the adjacent sofa, watching them quietly.

"You two look amazing together" Sparks said wistfully.

"So much in love" Calara said affectionately, a big smile on her face. 

"There's room for two more!" Alyssa grinned at the girls and the brunette and redhead rose to join them.



Three Square Meals Ch. 13



The crew of the Invictus sat in the Officer's lounge, cuddled up on a big sofa watching the stars. John sat in the middle, with Alyssa sitting sideways across his lap, Sparks and Calara sat to either side of him. The evening had been a great success, with the girls loving the delicious dinner that John had whipped up and they relaxed sipping wine together. 

"To our new chief engineer!" John said, raising his glass. "Welcome aboard Sparks, it's great to have you here!"

Alyssa and Calara echoed his comments and their glasses clinked together merrily for the toast, before they all took a big drink.

"Thanks everyone for being so welcoming. The ship feels like home already!" Sparks said gratefully, which prompted a round of hugs from the other girls.

The three teenagers chatted quietly amongst themselves, with John just soaking in the ambience of the evening and feeling relaxed and happy. He just sat and enjoyed their company, until a question from Alyssa roused him from his reverie.

"John, what are your plans for us and the Invictus after we go to Olympus?" she asked curiously.

"Well firstly I think we could use a little holiday on Gravitus" John suggested. "It will take a couple of days to equip the new workshop for Sparks, so we might as well go and have some fun while we wait".

"I've never been on holiday before" Sparks said wistfully.

"If it's anything like the last trip to Gravitus, we didn't leave the hotel room very much" Alyssa smirked, which had John laughing. 

"Well we do need to take Calara and Sparks shopping" he replied. "You must be getting tired of Calara borrowing all your clothes" he smiled at Alyssa.

"Hey, it's not my fault, none of my old clothing fits me any more!" The gorgeous Latina exclaimed, cupping her pert breasts which had grown from an athletic 30B to an impressively busty 32D. 

"A shopping trip sounds amazing though!" the brunette gushed excitedly.

Sparks was still a little intimidated by how beautiful the other two girls were, so she was feeling resigned to being the ugly duckling on this shopping trip. She had seen Alyssa's impressive wardrobe of exquisite dresses, suits and casual attire and she certainly wouldn't object to a similar selection of clothes for herself.

"Ok that should be a lot of fun, but what's our plan after that?" Alyssa persisted.

"Well I've been thinking that it might be a good time to upgrade the Invictus" John began. "Things seem to be heating up around the galaxy and we're bound to run into trouble. As and when that happens, I think we should make sure we have the ship fitted with top of the line gear".

"What are you thinking about upgrading first?" Sparks asked growing excited.

"I'm thinking the FTL drive is a good place to begin" John said. "If we can get the FTL drive upgraded, our journeys through hyper-warp won't take so long and we can upgrade everything else that much quicker."

"That sounds like a good plan to me, where do we go for the best FTL drives?" Alyssa asked.

"We need to go and see the Ashanath" John replied with some trepidation.

"Who are the 'Ashanath'?" Alyssa asked curiously.

"They live in the Ashanath Collective and it's very close to Terran Space" John explained. "They have grey skin, big black eyes, they are short and thin and they can be pretty strange" he said.

"Most of the Terran Federation used to be part of the Ashanath Collective. They were one of the first alien species to develop FTL drives and they claimed a vast number of worlds completely unchallenged. Terra was one of those worlds and the Ashanath were the first race to make contact with humanity" John explained for the listening girls. 

Calara was quite well versed with the major alien species, but this was all new for Alyssa and Sparks and they were fascinated as they listened to his tale. All three were familiar with tales of legendary Terra, the birthplace of humanity, but none of them had ever visited the planet.

"The other advantage of upgrading the FTL drive first, is the Ashanath are masters of Power Core technology too. I guess they needed all that energy to power their drives" he theorised.

"That sounds awesome!" Sparks said eagerly. "I'd love to take a look at some Alien tech, I've never worked with any before".

"The Ashanath are obsessed with cataloguing and studying all types of flora and fauna and that's how they first made themselves known, with abductions and cattle mutilations. Terrans nicknamed them "Greys" and the name has stuck for over 700 years."

"So how did the Terran Federation gain all that territory if it used to belong to the Ashanath?" Alyssa asked curiously.

"Well the Greys are basically pacifistic scientists and they don't really seem interested in colonising lots of worlds or fighting to hold territory. Humanity is obsessed with those things though, so the Terran Federation has annexed sector after sector that used to belong to the Ashanath Collective. The Greys have agreed to all their demands, probably just to keep the peace".

"Have you ever met one before?" Sparks asked John.

"Yes, a few" he said "They're happy to trade with almost anyone, but their tech is expensive. I used to courier parts from Ashana, the Greys homeworld, to a few specialist buyers in the core worlds. Their FTL drive tech is second to none, but in all honesty they creep the hell out of me" he admitted.

"I can't wait to see one" Alyssa said excitedly.

"I'm not sure you'll feel the same way once you've been around them for a while" John smiled wryly. "Their homeworld is fascinating though, you should enjoy seeing that".

"What's so special about it?" Sparks asked, her curiosity peaked. 

"You'll just have to wait and see!" John grinned.

The girls tried to get him to tell them, but John was resistant to their interrogation techniques. The teenagers eventually resorted to trying to tickle it out of him, but once those gloves were off, he gave back as good as he got. The girls eventually begged for mercy as they lay panting and giggling, strewn about the sofas.

"Come on ladies, time for bed I think" John said and helped them up. 

They retired to his quarters and snuggled in to the big bed, where Alyssa and Calara watched Sparks blow him eagerly. Once she had been topped up, the redhead curled up on John's right side, with Alyssa behind her, stroking her distended stomach comfortingly and Calara settled into her usual position on the left. Feeling satiated and relaxed, John settled into a deep sleep and the girls all joined him shortly afterwards.

John descended into blackness as his consciousness slipped away, but tonight something new and different happened. He began to dream. 

He'd never experienced dreams or nightmares before, sleeping like the dead every night for his 40 long years and always waking completely refreshed. Tonight though, the darkness began to fade, as random thoughts and emotions began to swirl around in his mind; insubstantial, fleeting things, that he tried to hang on to but they were elusive and slipped through his fingers. In the swirling maelstrom of his unconscious mind, an image began to coalesce and he concentrated with all his will to try and discern what it was. It suddenly snapped into sharp focus with shocking clarity.

He stood over a world like a colossal, proud and mighty, as legions of women surrounded him worshipping at his feet. Rather than revelling in their adulation however, he felt jealousy, rage and resentment at unseen figures who might covet his minions. The anger and thirst for power were blinding in their intensity and he felt all consuming hate towards his rivals. He would crush them all and take what they had for his own.

John tried to resist these alien thoughts, but felt himself falling, being sucked down into a vortex of darkness and despair. Suddenly a glowing figure appeared in his mind, a beacon of light against the mind numbing terror of the abyss. He clawed his way towards it, desperately fighting to escape from the grasping tendrils of the horrors below. When he thought all hope lost, the figure reached for him with a slender arm and clasped his outstretched hand in her own.

The touch felt like a thunderbolt and he was abruptly wrenched back into full wakefulness. 

"Holy Fuck!!!" he gasped, lurching upright and clutching his chest, his heart pounding away and his breath ragged as his eyes darted around the room in shocked fear.

He took a deep breath and closed his eyes, forcing himself to calm down and lower his heart rate to normal levels. When he had managed to regain control, he slowly reopened his eyes. Everything looked as it should, with the girls fast asleep and curled up cutely around him, blissfully unaware of his terrifying experience. 

Shaking his head as though to clear his mind of any other daemons, he lay back down and closed his eyes with a certain amount of trepidation. What else might lay in wait for him, lurking in the dream world?

Fortunately, when he fell asleep again this time, only the comforting void of sleep awaited him and John slept dreamlessly for the rest of the night.

John woke feeling tired and drained, his mind still reeling from the shocking nightmare. He lay awake, staring at the ceiling, before glancing over at the ship's chronometer and saw that it was six in the morning. He didn't want to wake the girls up early, so he lay still and just concentrated on the warm young female bodies draped over him, trying to distract himself from the disturbing visions of the previous night.

A short while later, Sparks stirred at his side and stretched languidly. She rose up on one elbow and looked down at him, smiling when she saw he was awake too. She leaned in close and pressed her mouth to his pointy ear.

"I'm too excited about learning how the ship works, I couldn't sleep any longer!" she whispered in his ear, so as not to wake Alyssa and Calara.

John grinned at her youthful exuberance as she smiled down at him, one side of her face pretty, the other horrifically scarred. "I hope Alyssa is right" he thought to himself, desperately wanting to help the feisty young redhead.

"Mind if I blow and go?" Sparks whispered to him, grinning mischievously.

John stifled a laugh and then nodded his agreement. Sparks disappeared under the covers, being careful not to disturb the two sleeping beauties who were sharing the bed. He felt his worries and fears about the previous night disappear as the redheads talented mouth smoothly engulfed him and wrapped him in the comforting confines of her body. 

He lay back and let the enthusiastic teenager perform her magic on him. Sparks was using a relaxing, methodical technique today that felt absolutely wonderful. She didn't pause or change angles or stop to lick him or any other distracting nonsense that a lesser skilled fellatrix might have used. The young woman was focused completely on her task at hand, smoothly bobbing up and down under the covers and he relished being her absolute centre of attention as she concentrated on giving him pleasure. He was surprised at how quickly she brought him to orgasm and he let out a deep sigh of contentment as his balls began to pump out his cum into her waiting stomach. His release felt like a balm to his soul and when he was done, he sat up and kissed Sparks as she licked her lips contentedly. 

"Thank you honey, I really needed that this morning!" he whispered to her sincerely.

Surprised at the vehemence in his voice, Sparks nodded at him and smiled graciously before leaning forward to give him a hug. She was shocked again when John clung to her fiercely, like a drowning man might to a liferaft. 

"Are you ok?" she asked with concern, when she eventually leaned back from the embrace.

"Just a bad dream" John said quietly, waving away her worries.

"Ok, just let me know if I can do anything for you" she whispered. When John nodded agreeably, she manoeuvred off the bed carefully, weighed down as she was by the heavy load in her belly. She picked up one of his shirts and looked his way to see if it was ok for her to borrow it. John nodded, smiling and he watched her as she dressed and then left the room, eager anticipation at being able to play with the Holo-reader and learn about the Invictus giving her a spring in her step.

John lay back on the bed and slid an arm around Alyssa and Calara. They both reacted to his proximity by resting their heads on him and snuggling in close, each beautiful young woman placing an arm over his chest and draping a silky smooth leg over his own. The girls cuddled him lovingly, still fast asleep and John sighed happily, their comforting presence finally banishing the worries from the night before. A restful sleep overtook him and he rested peacefully. 

Alyssa woke up a couple of hours later and smiled to herself when she found herself cuddled up against John, her hand reaching over his chest to rest lightly on Calara's deliciously smooth olive hued skin. She wondered for a moment where Sparks might be, until she suddenly became aware of a tiny new manifestation floating in her thoughts. Fascinated by the nascent bundle of emotions, she recognised it for what it was and allocated a private place for it in her mind, so that she could nurture this blossoming presence.

The beautiful blonde kept her eyes closed and calmed herself, so that she could attune her mind to this new flicker of consciousness. "There she is" Alyssa thought to herself contentedly as she tracked the source of the new presence to the bridge. Happiness and excitement surged from the tiny ball of emotion, which made her smile, so she relaxed and enjoyed simply being cuddled with John.

Eventually Calara and John woke as well and the three of them rose to get ready before going off to get some breakfast in the Officer's Lounge. After they had eaten, Calara said she would go and keep Sparks company up on the bridge, while Alyssa agreed to go with John to the gym and have her first swimming lesson. 

The couple walked hand in hand down the corridor from the elevator, to the gym that housed the pool, but Alyssa could sense something was troubling John.

"Hey John, are you ok this morning?" she asked, concerned.

"Yeah, sure, why do you ask?" He replied trying to brush over his worries.

"Well you haven't checked me out once yet this morning" Alyssa replied with a cheeky smile. "That's a first in the six weeks I've known you. Either you've lost interest now you have some new girls, or something's bothering you" She teased.

John laughed at that. "Ok you're right" he admitted, "I am feeling a bit out of sorts. I had a horrible nightmare last night and it came as quite a shock, as I never normally dream"

"Never?" Alyssa replied surprised.

"This was the first one" John said honestly "and hopefully the last!" he said earnestly.

Alyssa stopped in front of him and cupped his face in both her hands. "You spend all your time worrying about us girls" she said, "don't deny it, I know" the beautiful blonde interrupted him, heading off his objection. "You've been through a lot of big changes too recently, perhaps you've been a bit unsettled as well?"

John pondered for a moment and realised that Alyssa was right, he did actually feel different. He'd given up the Fool's Gold, the freighter he'd called home for the last 11 years. Not only that, he was now in a relationship with three teenage girls, trying to help them wrestle with their own demons from the past and keep them safe from the dangers in the galaxy. For a lone wolf who had shied away from any meaningful relationship with a woman, this was a huge change for him.

"You're right" he agreed. "A lot has changed for me too and I guess I'm feeling a bit out of sorts"

"Well I'm always here to talk too" Alyssa said. "Remember we're a team now and you should never feel you have to shoulder your burdens on your own". She raised herself up on tip toe to kiss him affectionately. 

"Feeling a bit better?" She asked him maternally.

John nodded, smiling at her.

"Ok let's go get in that pool. Saving me from drowning will stoke your rampant White Knight syndrome and help distract you!" She joked impudently.

Laughing loudly, John followed her into the gym. They stripped off their clothes and John held out his hand to lead her down the steps into the shallow end of the pool. He could feel her body shaking with fear as she followed him into the water trustingly, until she was eventually standing in water about 4 foot deep.

"There, that's not so bad is it?" He asked her comfortingly, which Alyssa answered with a brave smile.

"Ok good, now come here and hold on to me" John requested.

Alyssa moved in close to him and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"I'll sink into the water a bit, so you can feel what it's like being weightless with the water supporting you" he said soothingly.

He glided out into slightly deeper water with Alyssa hanging on to him tightly. She wrapped her legs around his waist, her deliciously smooth thighs gripping him tightly and clung to him as though her life depended on it. He cupped her firm bottom in his hands and stayed still, letting her get used to being surrounded by the water. The nervous teen gradually relaxed her death grip around his neck, but still clung to him closely. John waited until she had stopped trembling and seemed more relaxed. 

"Very good!" he congratulated her, as he glided back to the shallow part of the pool. They just hung out for a while there, with John letting Alyssa build up her confidence level about being surrounded by so much water. 

"There's one last thing I'd like you to try today before we end the lesson" he said. John ducked down in the shallow water and scooped up the blonde girl, cradling her in his arms, as if holding a baby.

"Now just relax, I've got you" he said reassuringly "remember this water is very shallow, so you can stand up in it easily"

Alyssa nodded, wondering what was going to happen next.

"Now straighten yourself out as though you were lying on a bed and stick your arms out to your sides" he explained. 

He saw the flash of fear in her eyes, but she fought it hard and relaxed as he had asked. She straightened out in the supportive embrace of his arms and carefully laid back in the water. When water began to lap at her ears, she felt a fresh tide of panic rising within her, but she looked up at John's caring face and controlled herself.

"Excellent!" John said, impressed by her show of courage. "Just relax like that and float on top of the water".

Alyssa stayed calm and just relaxed, feeling the reassuring presence of his strong hands under her back and bottom. With her head partially submerged, her ears were under water and John's voice felt muffled and insubstantial. She didn't want to disappoint him though, so she stayed relaxed and floated as he asked. 

*I'm going to move my hands away in a moment* she heard him think clearly. Alyssa's eyes flashed open, wide with panic.

*I won't let anything happen to you, you know you can trust me* his thoughts were strong and comforting and quelled her fears. She nodded and felt his hands drop away and then... nothing. She still floated peacefully in the water, the water lapping gently at her sides. The feeling of weightlessness was something she had never experienced before and Alyssa found it was not as terrifying as she had imagined. Eventually she even began to quite enjoy the sensation, finding it soothing and restful.

John let her float for a couple of minutes, before encircling her in his arms again and lifting her head from the water.

"That was exhilarating John! Thank you so much!" She gasped excitedly.

"You were amazing. For someone who had never been in a pool before today, you were incredibly brave!" he said proudly.

As always, Alyssa's heart lifted to hear his praise and the beautiful young woman beamed a huge sparkling smile up at him.




Three Square Meals Ch. 13



The pool didn't seem anywhere near so frightening to Alyssa as before and she felt much more confident as they moved to the side and climbed out. They walked over to the towel rails and each took a lovely warm towel to wrap themselves in.

"Thanks for my swimming lesson, that wasn't nearly as bad as I'd feared!" Alyssa admitted as she smiled at John.

"You're welcome honey, it was fun teaching you" John said returning her happy smile. "You're a very fast learner, I'll be able to teach you to swim in no time" he said confidently.

"Ok, I trust you" she said, smiling up at him.

John scooped her up and kissed her soundly, causing Alyssa to squeak excitedly in surprise. She wrapped her arms around him and returned his kiss passionately.

"I want you" John said simply, turned on by her unquestioning faith and trust in him.

"But what about Sparks?" Alyssa asked questioningly. 

"I've got it covered" John replied, smiling mischievously.

Alyssa read his thoughts and a thrill went down her spine. "Oh you bad boy!" she said, grinning eagerly. They left the gym and headed to their quarters, as John called Sparks on his watch communicator.

Sparks was engrossed in the holographic images surrounding the engineering station. She had started to delve into the arcane technical minutiae of the Invictus, guided by the invaluable Holo-reader and was loving every minute of it. The assault cruiser made anything she had worked on back on Karron seem like a child's toy in comparison, even her proudest works seemed utterly trivial when compared to this behemoth. 

The redhead had spent a productive morning training herself on the basic operations of Engineering and she was now looking forward to studying the systems in more detail. The ability to be able to divert power from one set of subsystems to another was intriguing and she was eager to begin experimenting. She looked across the bridge to see that Calara was still sitting at her tactical station, engrossed by the System map of Chendar. Sparks opened her mouth to speak to the brunette, but then closed it again, not wanting to disturb Calara's intense focus as she planned possible attack scenarios for the upcoming battle against the pirates.

Sparks still found Calara a little intimidating, even though the gorgeous Latina had been extremely friendly and welcoming. That kind of flawless beauty was difficult to be around at times, especially when someone felt as ugly and damaged as Sparks did. The teenager reached up to touch her terribly scarred face self consciously and wondered again how she could ever possible fit in amongst these paragons of feminine perfection. Still, Calara, Alyssa and John had been nothing but overwhelmingly inclusive and generous with her since she had come on board, which got her thinking about the workshop again.

Her very own workshop! The one back on Karron with the Diablo's didn't really count, as it was all their equipment and she was their indentured servant. She didn't doubt for a moment John's sincerity in offering her a permanent place here though and the vast space he had happily turned over for her to use at her whim was slightly daunting. The teenagers mind whirled with possibilities at the gear she could make for her crewmates. 

She pressed a couple of button on the console and a Holo-feed display for the Engineer's Almanac sprang into being before her. As a small child she had spent hours looking through their advertising material, poring over capacitors, generators and fabrication equipment. She had always dreamed of being able to afford one of their technical wonders and now she had John providing her a blank cheque to buy whatever she liked. The redhead swiped her hand over the holographic pages and idly cycled through page after page of expensive machinery. 

"Oh wow, they've got an Optron Plasma transformer!" She thought to herself excitedly. "I thought that was meant to be coming out in 2779!" she wondered how they had managed to have it ready in time for the 2778 catalogue.

A soft chime from her console interrupted her thoughts as she noticed that John was calling her. She pressed the button to receive the call. 

"Hey Sparks, could you come and join us in our quarters?" John's smiling image said, with Alyssa peeking over his shoulder, a huge grin on her face. 

"Ok I'll be right there" Sparks said agreeably and closed off the call as Alyssa blew her a kiss.

She got up and stretched, feeling stiff after the entire morning sat at the engineering station. 

"Time for lunch?" Calara said, smiling over at her.

Sparks laughed good naturedly. "It's a good job his cum tastes so good right?" she grinned. Truth be told she was feeling hungry and lunch sounded like a great idea. She licked her lips reflexively. 

The sound of Calara's lovely laughter filled the bridge. "You don't fool me for a second" she said smiling fondly at the redhead, "but just say the word and I'll take your place in a heartbeat!". 

"No, no it's ok!" Sparks said quickly, "I can see you're busy".

"Yes, I thought so" Calara grinned knowingly at Sparks as the redhead got up and began to walk up to the elevator.

Sparks returned the Latina's friendly smile and waved her goodbye as she entered the elevator and headed down to the Officer's quarters.

Calara returned her attention to the System map for Chendar and continued to pore over the detailed survey maps for the solar system. The Gas mining station was orbiting Chendar D, the Gas giant which formed the fourth planetary body in orbit around the G-type main sequence star. The yellow dwarf had six planets in total in its system, another gas giant and four rocky planetoids, as well as the asteroid belt that formed a sporadic ring in the fifth orbital path around the star.

She zoomed in on the Rastan-Cooper Gas mining station and the likely source of the pirate attacks expanded in the hologram, looming over the tactical station like a malevolent red spider. Rust coloured, the centuries old mining station had a cylindrical body with eight fuelling arms, which could be used to refuel ships or to load Tank-freighters with the harvested Gas from the planet below. Underneath the central body, the station flared out into a larger bulbous section which sank into the swirling eddies of the upper atmosphere of the planet. This section of the mining facility was used to process and store the valuable resources it leeched from the Gas Giant below, like some kind of huge planetary parasite.

The mining facility had been shut down and stripped by the Rastan-Cooper corporation when they had retired the station, but if it been converted to a pirate base, who knows what kind of modifications the pirates might have made to the place. The tanks would have been drained of gas before it was abandoned, so she wasn't too worried about rupturing the storage cylinders and triggering a gas explosion If she did have to attack. Her main concern however, was that these pirates were known to be slavers and she was worried about sailing in guns blazing and accidentally killing innocent civilians.

Calara's basic plan so far was to approach stealthily in the asteroid belt and then perform some passive scans of the station. Once she had been able to confirm the location of life readings in the pirate base, then they could alter their course of action accordingly.

The other big wild card was the composition of the pirate fleets. Black box recordings from the shattered hulls in the pirate's hunting grounds provided some clues, but it was difficult to come up with a precise order of battle. The pirates seemed to have access to a lot of older models of Terran Federation military ships, which in itself wasn't that unusual, as a budding privateer might well pick up a decommissioned hull from a salvage dealer for a cheap price. However, the sheer number of ships that made up the pirates fleet nagged at her and she was sure there was something that she just wasn't seeing.

Exasperated, she sat back and rubbed her eyes. "Perhaps I should ask John to take a look" she wondered. Calara had been impressed at how quickly he had been able to sniff out the potential site for the pirate's base. Even though he hailed from a marine background, he seemed to have a natural flair for naval combat and tactics. 

She sat there dreamily, as her thoughts inexorably returned to her man. Ever since he had rescued her from the pirate attack, Calara had fallen helplessly in love with him. Strong, decisive, a natural leader, she admired his ability to command and a thrill ran through her every time he gave her orders. Not only that, but he was kind and considerate, going out of his way to make sure that she, Alyssa and Sparks were comfortable and happy in their new home onboard the Invictus. 

Then of course there was the sex! God, she had never known she could feel so good! The Latina had only been in two relationships in her young life prior to meeting with John, the first was an innocent school dalliance, a boy she grew up with and had slept with to satisfy her own curiosity. It was a fumbled and brief encounter, marred by lack of experience on either side and had been largely disappointing. Her second relationship was an affair with a senior at the Terran Federation Academy. Craig Harrison was a rising star, scoring highly in command and tactics, which led him to be actively groomed for great things by the Academy faculty. Craig had been drawn to her by her exotic good looks and she had fallen for the big man on campus. 

Calara had brought Craig home to meet her parents at the end of her first year at the Academy, hoping they would like him as much as she did. Her parents had been polite, but never really warmed to him and their intuition had borne out when Craig dumped her unceremoniously before he shipped out to his first posting after his graduation. This was the first time she had thought about Craig in the last several months and she was surprised that she no longer felt any feelings of rejection or loss over the end of her first long term relationship. She compared Craig with John in her mind and laughed to herself at how Craig failed to match John in any category.

She wondered what her parents, Jack and Maria, would make of John. Her father was a naval officer as well, Captain rank and in command of the Terran Federation cruiser Damocles, while her mother had been a communications officer before she left the military to raise a family. They owned a big townhouse on Jericho, a planet in the Epsilon Eridani system and Calara had grown up there as the youngest of four children. Her three older brothers had all joined the military before her, following in the proud military tradition of the Fernandez family.

Calara smiled to herself as she imagined how the scenario at her old home would play out. Her father and brothers were all fiercely protective of her and she knew John would be subjected to one of their infamous interrogations. Craig hadn't fared too well, but she knew John would be able to hold his own. Calara was a fair bit younger than John, but there was a 10 year age gap between her parents, so that wouldn't be too big a deal. There were a few things that did have the young Latina worried though.

Firstly, how was she going to explain the physical changes she had undergone over the last month? She had grown a couple of inches taller and her bust had gone up a few cup sizes, which could perhaps be dubiously brushed aside as a late teenage growth spurt, but she wasn't convinced her parents would buy that. Calara knew she still mostly looked like her old self, although her skin was now flawless, all imperfections magically wiped clean and her hair was now thicker and more lustrous. She still found it a surprise when she looked in a mirror and this stunningly beautiful version of herself looked back in amazement.

The second thing was what to say about her intimate relationship with Alyssa and Sparks. Her parents were fairly conventional and though they would probably be able to accept her newfound bisexuality, she was pretty sure they would balk at her being in a polyamorous romance with two other young women as well! Calara didn't want to lie to her parents, but perhaps that was the only route available to avoid a huge fracas.

Then there was the subject of marriage. Her parents no doubt expected her to get married and raise a family eventually, but although she loved the idea of being Mrs Calara Blake, she realised that it was an unlikely scenario given she was sharing John with two other eighteen year girls. She smiled to herself as she thought how her family would react if she, Alyssa and Sparks descended on the Fernandez household all sporting swollen bellies and proudly carrying John's babies. Perhaps a visit back home sooner rather than later might be a good idea after all!

The thought of teenagers with well rounded tummies got her wondering how Sparks was getting on with John and Alyssa. Growing increasingly aroused, the gorgeous brunette rose and strode purposefully towards the elevator. Perhaps a little peak on her lovers was in order? She pressed the button and waited impatiently for it to arrive, until the doors swishing open quietly and she stepped inside. She hit the button for Deck 2 and then strode down the corridor as soon as the door opened.

The sound of a young woman getting fucked hard drifted down the corridor to her eager ears and Calara felt her heart begin to beat faster. She recognised the gasping female cries as belonging to Alyssa and the distinctive sound of flesh slapping against flesh reverberated down the hall. As she drew closer to the Commander's quarters, she prowled forward stealthily, not wanting to disturb the lovers within. She eventually reached the open door and looked around the edge.

John, Alyssa and Sparks were all completely nude and in the middle of the huge four poster bed. Alyssa was on all fours, her incredible athletic figure arched, John using his tight grip on her hair for reins as he rode her tight young body. Calara wondered for a moment if her teenager lover was taking their man in her pussy or her ass. The scene reminded her of the time he had pushed his way into her own tight little butt, however she also remembered the first time John had fucked like this in his ready room, holding her firmly in place as he stroked in and out of her until he had flooded her young womb with his seed.

Her thighs ground together at the erotic memories and she felt herself getting increasingly turned on. Calara's eyes drifted over to Sparks and saw that the redhead was rubbing her pussy in time with John's thrusts into the beautiful blonde. The Latina ducked back out of sight and stripped off her own clothes, before hurriedly moving back to watch the unfolding action. Her slender fingers dipped between her legs, wetting her fingertips, before moving up to rub her own clit in time with the fierce pounding Alyssa was taking. John thrust hard into the blonde, while his other hand moved under the girls toned tummy, stimulating her nubbin. 

"Oh my god, you're so fucking good!" Alyssa cried out, as he drove into her over and over again.

Calara watched her friend being taken hard by their powerful, dominant man and the brunette silently cheered him on as he brought Alyssa to a wailing climax. John relaxed his grip on Alyssa's thick mane of hair, letting her head fall forward, as he continued to stroke into her perfectly presented young body. Calara gasped slightly with excitement when she realised that he intended to ride the teen through multiple orgasms.

John's sharp ears had picked up Calara's gasp and he turned to face her as he continued his relentless rhythm into the kneeling teenager before him. He pointed towards her and beckoned her into the room. 

"I want to see you two together" he said intensely, looking from her to the redhead and Calara approached Sparks obediently.

Calara could see that Sparks was very aroused, her eyes wide, her pupils dilated, as the Latina knelt on the bed next to the smaller girl and leaned her head forward to kiss her. They kissed enthusiastically, both equally turned on by the lovers adjacent to them and the two teenage girls moved gracefully to lie down next to Alyssa and John. Calara pushed Sparks on to her back so that she was lying beneath her and then knelt over the girl so that her own big breasts brushed against the smaller girl's bust. Calara leaned down, so that her olive skinned titflesh enveloped Sparks's smaller, fair skinned boobs and their nipples both grew into firm little points as they reacted to the sensitive skin rubbing together. Calara moved in for another kiss, lightly brushing her tongue over the girls lips, until Sparks flicked her with the tip of her own tongue, encouraging the brunette to french kiss her passionately.

To her side, Calara could hear Alyssa gasping her way through another climax as John played her body like a skilled musician would play an instrument. The bed shook in time to the steady thrusts, making the kissing girls rock together in time to the vibrations. Abruptly the vibrations ended and Calara heard Alyssa gasp as she felt weight shifting on the bed behind her. Suddenly John's strong hands had encircled her own waist and she felt the blunt head of his cock nudge into place at the wet entrance to her pussy. The primed Latina stopped kissing the redhead beneath her for a moment to look over her shoulder and saw John ready and waiting.

"Give it to me!" She urged him.

Calara's mouth hung open in a silent scream as John pushed steadily forward into her yielding body. Aided by Alyssa's slick juices around his cock, he was able to push every last relentless inch into the brunette's tight little grasping pussy, until he was pressed right up against her. Calara's round buttocks quivered as the teenager trembled and tried to adjust to the massive presence that had so shockingly been driven deep inside her.

"Oh fuck!" She gasped, "You're so big!"

John pulled back slowly, letting her snug little passage recover from being stretched so tightly around his weighty shaft. Calara looked down as the cute redhead beneath her began to suck and nibble teasingly at her erect nipples. 

"That feels so good, thank you babbbbbiiieeee!!" She suddenly shrieked the last word, as John forced his entire length into her gorgeous body in one pussy stuffing thrust.

Now he really began to work the lithe athletic teen as John picked up the pace and began to fuck her forcefully with long, powerful strokes. Calara could only moan as she rested on the redhead beneath her and hung on tight as she was ridden hard, loving every moment of being shafted by her Commander. She felt a slender arm working its way under her tummy and Alyssa began to gently but insistently rub her clit in a steady undeniable rhythm.

"Ohhhh my god!!!" The Latina groaned helplessly as all three of her lovers concentrated on giving her pleasure. 

The teenagers senses were completely overloaded and she screamed as she came explosively. Her pussy grasped John in a vice like grip, but her feminine muscles were powerless to restrain the rock hard firmness of his throbbing masculinity. He drove his cock relentlessly in and out of her as Calara rode a second orgasmic wave, then a third and eventually a fourth. Finally they had mercy on the sobbing teen and John slid his cock out of the vanquished young woman, helping her to flop on to the bed, utterly exhausted.

Alyssa grinned up at him, proud of the way they had triple teamed the panting brunette. She then gracefully lay back on the bed and parted her toned thighs invitingly, offering John a warm tight place to house his cock. John wasted no time in taking up her invitation and he moved to cover her, nestling his pulsing head at the entrance to her pussy. A combination of Calara's juices and her own helped John slide all the way inside his beautiful blonde, until his throbbing head was nestled in her womb.




Three Square Meals Ch. 13



Alyssa wrapped her arms and legs around him, holding him tightly to her.

"This is where you belong" she whispered in his ear as he lay on her "Deep inside us".

John turned to face her, and they looked into each other's eyes as they kissed each other hungrily. Alyssa loosened the tight encircling embrace of her arms and legs, offering up her body for him to use. John maintained unblinking eye contact with his soulmate as he fucked her young body with long smooth strokes. 

"You're so beautiful!" he gasped, as he drove into her luscious youthful flesh, still finding it hard to believe that he was able to have such an incredible girl for himself.

"I'm all yours, forever" Alyssa purred at him, as her pussy massaged him rhythmically, her hips rocking gently in time with his thrusts.

John raised himself up on his arms as he looked down at her, delighting in the spectacular view of her gorgeous young figure. Her bronzed skin was covered in a sheen of perspiration and she glistened enticingly in the light. He looked down at her slim, toned stomach and watched the bulge of his cock as he thrust in and out of her. 

Sparks had been watching the entire encounter spellbound. Her blonde friend and her lover looked absolutely incredible together and she would have rubbed her pussy to another orgasm if she had not already brought herself off twice watching John pound Calara. She reached out between them, careful not to interrupt John's steady driving rhythm and gently caressed the protrusion where he was deeply buried in her friends abdomen.

"It'll be your turn soon" Alyssa told the redhead, as Sparks stroked her tummy. 

"Rub my clit for me, help make me nice and tight for him" Alyssa pleaded with Sparks. 

Following her friends instructions, Sparks slid her hand lower so that her fingers could feel where John's cock was shoved into her friend's pussy. She let her fingers get nice and wet and then brought them up to stroke Alyssa's nubbin as she had requested.

Alyssa's breathing became more laboured and her breasts heaved high on her chest as she got more and more excited. 

"Ohh that's so good!" She groaned "You're making me cummmm!!" She finally gasped as she felt the climax burst over her.

Alyssa's orgasm was enough to push John over the edge and he thrust himself up to the hilt and threw his head back, as his quivering balls prepared to unload into the supine young woman below him. The blonde's sucking pussy coaxed out long, powerful spurts of cum from his quad and her womb began to expand as it rapidly filled with his spunk. John's cock was sufficiently heavy girthed to have stretched the teenagers pussy tight around him, so there was nowhere for the cum to escape to. That meant the girls belly would have to do some work to accommodate the huge blasts of cum and Alyssa's waistline rapidly expanded as he filled her full of his sperm, enough to have made her pregnant a billion times over.

John was panting after all the exertion, his thighs trembling, as he gave one last shove and his balls shot out the last of their cargo in to Alyssa's tightly packed teenage womb. Finally he was completely spent and he carefully eased out of the blonde's tender pussy and flopped down on the bed at her side to recover his strength.

Alyssa felt a momentary sadness when John finally pulled out of her, but she loved being able to stroke the bloated sphere of her abdomen, feeling the evidence of how much he loved her by the vast quantity of spunk he had pumped into her belly. She smiled when her oldest friend ran her own hands over her tummy, gently caressing the tightly stretched skin.

After a little while John and Calara had recovered and they watched fondly as Sparks dreamily stroked Alyssa's cum bloated stomach.

"Sparks" John said to the redhead "Alyssa is going to give you lunch today".

The girls eyes widened for a moment before glinting excitedly as she moved lithely between the blonde's spread thighs.

"That's a good girl, are you going to help empty my belly for me?" Alyssa asked seductively.

Sparks nodded lustily as she lay down and began to lap at the blonde's hot pussy.

"Ohhh" Alyssa sighed "she's so hungry for it", as the redheads tongue licked away eagerly.

Calara and John began to massage Alyssa's cum swollen belly, helping her relax, so that she could feed her friend. Alyssa moaned and they could hear wet slurping sounds as Sparks eagerly sucked out John's load. The blonde's distended stomach gradually began to deflate as the young girl between her legs greedily feasted on John's sweet tasting spunk. Eventually Alyssa's toned midrift had returned to its normal sleek athletic state and it was Sparks who was providing a warm home for all of John's cum. They helped the girl waddle her way up the bed and then cuddled up around her as she lay down to have an afternoon nap and sleep off her high protein feast. The other three soon joined her and they all dozed together peacefully.

They stayed in bed for a couple of hours and then gradually began to rouse themselves to make use of the rest of the day. Alyssa wanted to train in the firing range and Calara asked John to help her with her battle plans for the pirate assault. Sparks was eager to learn more about the Invictus, so all of them except Alyssa headed up to the bridge for the rest of the afternoon. They all reconvened together in the Officer's lounge for dinner and then they relaxed together for a couple of hours, sitting around the sofa's making leisurely chit chat. Finally they called it a night and retired to bed, where Calara and Alyssa watched Sparks suck a stomach filling nightcap out of John's quad.

The next couple of days followed a similar pattern of meeting up for meal times and then separating to pursue their respective interests. John made an effort to spend his time with Calara, discussing strategies and attack plans with her and helping her to learn from his many years of combat experience. Although he had spent his time in the military as a Marine, he had spent a significant portion of time up on the bridge as the naval crews went to work, so he had many insights to share with the eager young Latina. Mainly though, he wanted to keep an eye on the troubled brunette, to keep her distracted by his company and to make sure that pre-battle nerves would not get the better of her.

Finally the morning of the day of the battle arrived. According to Alyssa's careful planned course, they would likely arrive at the Chendar system late that evening, which gave the crew of the Invictus one last day to prepare. John started off his day by loading up Sparks with a healthy meal and waving her goodbye as she buttoned up one of his shirts over her nicely rounded belly and sashayed off to the bridge.

Calara and Alyssa had watched through lusty eyes, as the redhead lovingly gave their man a stellar blowjob and then watched their young friend depart for her morning on the bridge. When they heard the elevator going up, they both turned to look at John.

"She's changed so quickly over this last week" Calara said in amazement, finally witnessing first hand the transformative effects of John's cum. "I would never have believed it possible If I hadn't gone through the exact same thing".

"She doesn't seem to have noticed any of the changes yet, just like you and I were completely oblivious until we had it pointed out to us" Alyssa observed in reply to the gorgeous brunette.

"It doesn't seem to have healed her scars though" John said solemnly, remembering how angry and red the scar tissue on Spark's face, arm and chest were this morning.

"It's still early days yet" Alyssa said hopefully "It took a while for those deep cuts on Calara's back to heal completely".

"They were fresh new wounds though honey, Sparks has had her scars for over 10 years now and the damage to her skin is extensive" John said, although his pragmatic explanation couldn't hide the sound of disappointment in his voice.

"Well she's happy and she knows we all love her" Calara said, trying to lift the mood. 

"Yes you're right" the beautiful blonde agreed. "I've honestly never seen her happier than she has been over the last few days. When she gets her hands on all that equipment for her workshop, she's going to be ecstatic" she said, smiling wryly.

Alyssa turned to John and held his gaze with her piercing cerulean eyes. 

"Thank you John. I'm sure I speak for all three of us when I say you've transformed all our lives for the better" Alyssa said honestly.

"I wouldn't even be here now if it wasn't for you" Calara reminded them both. "Not only that, I now have pretty much everything I ever dreamed about" she smiled happily.

John opened his arms for them to join him and they snuggled up against his side. 

"I love you both, you're incredible the pair of you" he said to Alyssa and Calara. "I'm even falling for Sparks too" he admitted, which prompted the girls to hug him fiercely, big grins on their faces.

"Have you told her yet?" Calara asked curiously.

"No, not yet. I'm just waiting for the right time" John confessed. 

"Well just say the word when you want some alone time with her" Alyssa smiled up at him, aware of his conversation with Sparks about their plans for their first time together.

John leaned down and kissed her appreciatively, before leaning over to the other side to kiss Calara too.

"I bet you never thought you'd be telling your two teenage lovers about your plans to break in a third!" Alyssa grinned at him mischievously.

"Alyssa!" Calara laughed at her outrageous friend.

"Maybe we need to warn the poor girl about John's interest in impregnating teens?" Alyssa continued playfully.

John laughed hard at that one. "Don't you dare!" he said, "You already sprung that on Calara!"

"Oh John, I didn't mind at all" Calara sighed dreamily. 

"See John!" Alyssa exclaimed "She's ripe, young and fertile, just like me!"

"You're so naughty!" John admonished her.

"Yes, but you love it!" Alyssa grinned at him.

"I love you!" John said, grabbing the cheeky young woman in his arms and hugging her close to him.

Alyssa sighed happily and enjoyed the feel of his strong arms around her.

"Admit it though John" she said to him "you love the idea of both of us being pregnant by you, don't you?" she pushed him to answer.

"Ok, yes I admit it" he said, smiling. "It's too soon now though, but eventually, yes definitely!"

Calara snuggled in closer, sighing contentedly.

"I'll drop the subject now and won't mention it to her, if you also admit you'd like to see Sparks with your baby in her belly too" Alyssa smiled devilishly at her handsome lover.

John laughed "Alright you win" he confessed "I've thought about all three of you being knocked up at the same time".

"That's very sexy" Alyssa sighed.

"Uh-huh" Calara agreed.

Both girls reached over to gently stroked his hard cock as it throbbed away insistently.

"Now look what you've done" John smiled at them both "Go and get me some breakfast first, I need to recharge, then I want both of you". 

Alyssa and Calara nodded eagerly and got up to get dressed. Alyssa darted into their wardrobe and brought out two of John's shirts, one for her and one for the brunette. They buttoned up the oversized shirts, thrilling at the unusual feeling of wearing John's clothes.

"I can see why Sparks like these so much!" Calara sighed happily.

The girls walked out of the room hand in hand, their long athletic legs looking sleek and gorgeous as they each left wearing only his shirt.

"I'm going to need more of those" John mused to himself, watching the sexy teens departing.

Alyssa looked over her shoulder and stared at him with a startled expression for a moment.

*More shirts, not more teenagers* John thought for her benefit, causing her to smile. The beautiful blonde raised an eyebrow at him archly and sashayed away swinging her hips.

John settled into the bed, relaxing with his arms behind his head. He sighed to himself happily, marvelling at the dramatic changes that had occurred in his life over the last couple of months. He couldn't even imagine what his life would be like without the girls in it and he realised how much he had grown to love all of their company.

He didn't have to wait long and the girls were back with breakfast. He tucked in eagerly, feeling both hungry and thirsty and wanting to get back into fighting shape. The girls watched him fondly for a moment as he tucked into the big breakfast they had prepared for him, before Alyssa turned to Calara. 

"Poor John never got to saw us the other day" she said sadly.

"Yes and now we know how much he was looking forward to it" Calara smiled wryly, running an elegant hand over the spot where he had chastised her lovely bottom.

The girls looked at each other and began to unbutton each other's shirts, gradually exposing their pert breasts. They leaned forward to brush their soft warm titflesh against each other, gasping cutely as their nipples grew erect at the delicious sensation. Alyssa looked coyly in John's direction, who was sitting there open mouthed as he watched them together.

"Eat up, you're going to need your strength" she said with a seductive smile on her face.

John's brain struggled to understand what she had said for a moment, what with all of his blood rushing to his cock. He gulped down his drink and took big bites of his breakfast as the girls turned back to face one another and began to kiss lovingly, their full soft lips tender with each other. He finished his breakfast as the girls slowly removed their shirts whilst still maintaining their erotic embrace, until they both sat completely nude facing one another. 

The girls looked at him coyly as Alyssa moved to lie on her back and then Calara rotated and spun, so that she hovered over her friend and they were facing each other between their spread legs. As if acting as one they both moved forward so that their hot little mouths made contact with the other girl's pussy and began to take long salacious licks. The room filled with the breathy gasps of excited young women as they lapped away at each other, each following the other's lead in pleasuring each other so intimately. John watched with growing lust as he watched Alyssa's tongue lick Calara's clit before moving up to plunge inside her lover's tight little hole. Calara was facing away from him, so he could see over her olive skinned athletic form, that her dark mane of hair was bobbing away between Alyssa's thighs, copying the same lascivious motions.

The excited gasps and moans became more intense as they focused on each other's clits, rapidly licking each other and building towards a crescendo of pleasure. Their sensitive young bodies writhed together and then they both climaxed at the same time, their cries of pleasure muffled with their mouths still buried in their lover's pussy as they each lapped the other girl through her orgasm.

Alyssa moved her head back to lie on the bed, leaving Calara's pussy glistening where she had been made wet and ready. The blonde looked back at him, her lovely golden hair framed by the coffee coloured thighs parted above her and she darted out her pink tongue to flicker over Calara's pussy as if to show him where he should enter first. John shuffled forward with his eager cock leading the way and he presented the broad head to Alyssa first for her to get him slippery and wet with her mouth, before repositioning himself behind the Latina. Calara felt him nudge up against her, so she rolled her hips and sank down on him, eager to have John encased within her again.

John pushed forward until he was at the back of Calara's pussy and her rolling hips made it easier for him to penetrate her, as the tight channel yielded to his throbbing cock. Wanting him deeper, she rocked back and forth, nudging his head up against her cervix. He kept up the pressure until her malleable body opened up for him and he was able to sink into her most intimate places, his quad pressed right up against her as he sheathed himself fully within her. They just stayed like that for a moment, before the brunette dropped her head down between the blonde's splayed thighs and began to eagerly lap away again at her friend. Alyssa followed Calara's cue and they began to lick each other exactly the same way as before, the difference being that Calara's pussy was now stretched tightly around John's meaty shaft.

He rode Calara through two more orgasms that way, thrilling at the way her responsive young body undulated under him and her snug pussy massaged his cock. After she came the second time, he carefully pulled out of her and the girls flipped over, so that now Alyssa was kneeling over the Latina and he sank deep inside her welcoming body instead. He kept himself deeply embedded in his ravishing young lover as Calara licked Alyssa to two orgasms of her own. He relished the sensations of her tight little teenage body trying to coax out his load as she climaxed, but through iron will power he managed to hold off. Finally he pulled out of the blonde and the two girls moved to the floor by the edge of the bed.

Alyssa knelt down first and then Calara knelt in front of her, their legs slightly spread so that their pussies were resting on each other's thigh, as they snuggled in closely with each other. John watched them get in to position with growing excitement as their tummies brushed against each other and their big full breasts were mashed up against one another. The girls kissed each other, moaning lustily into each other's mouths before they separated and spread their lips into inviting ovals, presenting him a lovely target.

John stood over the two kneeling teenagers, fisting his cock rapidly as he lowered himself so that each girl could lick his balls. He looked down at two inviting sets of eyes, one deep blue, the other a rich brown, as both girls urged him to cover them in his spunk. Finally unable to hold out any longer, he moved back and then positioned the head of his cock over their faces, his hand moving in a blur. With a loud strangled cry he finally came, as big gouts of cum jetted out to glaze the beautiful faces looking up at him alluringly. Alyssa and Calara gasped with excitement at feeling his hot load shooting over them, as rivulets of his seed splashed down to cover their heaving breasts, swapping their perspiration for his jism. John's balls trembled as they spat their heavy load all over the waiting girls, his quad having been tantalised and teased by tight teen pussy for the last hour.

Finally his body spent, John stepped backwards where he could admire his handiwork. Each girl's face was coated in a thick layer of cum, that had dripped down all over their rounded breasts in a white, slippery mess. The girls writhed together, loving being painted with his seed and then began to lick each other's faces to scoop his delicious spunk into their mouths. John left them to the extensive clean-up operation and collapsed back on the bed, where he could struggle to regain his breath. He lay there and watched his young lovers as they hungrily slurped up all his offering, helping each other with scooped hands to try and swallow every last drop. Eventually they had got most of his cum inside their stomachs, split pretty fairly between them both. They stood gracefully and offered him an inviting hand to come and join them in the shower.

The three of them moved into the bathroom and stood beneath the soothing warm water from the shower head. He helped get them both nice and clean, washing away the remnants of his sticky load and delighting in running his hands over their rounded little bellies, where each girl had greedily filled her stomach with his cum. They looked up at him adoringly as he stroked their full tummies, enjoying his possessive caress. 




Three Square Meals Ch. 13



Finally clean, they dried off and headed back to bed to cuddle up together happily. They rested for a little while, John luxuriating in being flanked by his two beautiful lovers.

A call from Sparks roused them from their tranquil daze and her face filled the holographic image when John answered the call.

"John, I'm picking up a distress call!" She said in an alarmed voice. "The message is reporting a pirate attack!"

"Ok we'll be right there" John said, before ending the conversation.

"Here we go" he said to the girls and they smoothly rose from the bed to get dressed and head to the bridge.

They had a long day ahead of them.



Three Square Meals Ch. 14



The elevator swished open quietly and John, Alyssa and Calara darted into their respective positions on the bridge. Sparks turned to face them as they arrived on the Command deck.

"We're getting an incoming distress call from a freighter. They've been disabled by pirates and are being boarded!" Sparks said with alarm.

"Alyssa, plot a course to their location please. Calara, shields up and weapons armed, we're going to need to strike quickly" John ordered decisively.

The girls sprung into action as they responded to his commands. Holographic images sprang into existence in the middle of the room, as Alyssa rapidly charted a new course in the system map to the scene of the battle and Calara activated the Invictus' weaponry. The rotating image of the assault cruiser showed the armoured hull sliding back to reveal the formidable arsenal at their disposal.

"Weapons hot Commander!" Calara reported, as the Mass drivers, laser cannons, beam lasers and point defence all glowed menacingly on the weapon loadout display for the Invictus.

"Two minutes until we're in range" Alyssa stated calmly, as the assault cruiser swung in a smooth arc to adjust to the course change.

Sparks turned her attention back to the long range scanners as it began to display the information it had gathered from the initial sensor sweep.

"I'm picking up five ships John" the redhead called out. "Only one has an active transponder, that's the freighter Calypso, the rest have their transponders switched off".

"See if you can hail the freighter please Sparks" John asked.

Calara activated a couple of controls on her console and the weapon loadout of the Invictus disappeared and in its place a glowing hologram showing the local system map appeared instead. John leaned forward to study the image as more details were revealed, the ship scans becoming more revealing the closer they got. The Calypso had suffered damage to its engines and a sleek looking corvette had sidled alongside it, now attached by the docking collar to the freighter's starboard flank. 

A shocked gasp interrupted the quiet focus of the bridge. "That's the Griffon!" Calara exclaimed.

"Are you sure?" John asked. There were hundreds of Corvettes in the Terran Federation Navy and they looked largely the same to him.

"Yes, there's no question. It's a Marlin class Corvette and look at the rear stabilisers, they were upgraded just before the ship left Port Heracles!" The Latina insisted.

Before they could react to this startling bit of news, the vid-feed crackled and an image of a panicked woman filled the screen. 

"We're being boarded!" The brown haired, middle aged woman shouted "Please help us!". Gunfire echoed in the background, followed by shrill screams.

"This is Commander Blake of the Assault Cruiser Invictus" John replied in a steely voice. "We'll be with you in just over a minute. Try and hold out as long as you can!" he said, before more gunfire drowned out the Calypso Captain's response and the line went dead.

The three remaining ships, two battered looking Lexon class frigates and a blunt nosed corvette, were providing cover for their pirate colleagues who were performing the boarding action. The pirate vessels had picked up the incoming Assault cruiser on their scanners and the worn looking ships were turning to engage.

Sparks watched the unfolding engagement with awe, the pivoting pirate craft looking menacing as they turned in their direction, many weapon barrels being brought to bear. On the other side of the holographic map, the Invictus surged forward with deadly purpose, looking like a sinister predator as it descended on the smaller vessels.

"Thirty seconds until we're in range!" Alyssa announced.

"Lieutenant take them out fast, so we can save the freighter!" John urged.

"Yes, Sir!" Calara responded grimly, her eyes narrowing in concentration as she focused on the holographic targeting matrix floating in front of her face.

Sparks watched the tactical map with baited breath, as the Assault cruiser bore down on the weaker vessels. The long cones displaying the fire arcs of their weapons brushed over the approaching Pirate ships and Calara sprung into action. The map illuminated brightly as the ship's vibrant coruscating beams blasted out and caressed the frigates lovingly. Three beams hit each craft squarely, overloading their shields in a crackling instant and following through to gouge glowing trenches in the thick armour on the front of the pirate ships.

"Firing main guns!" Calara called out a second later and the ship trembled with the recoil, as the 200 metre long magnetic rails of the Mass drivers launched their shells at Hyper warp into the burning frigates. The first frigate shuddered as both shells slammed into its port side, knocking it sideways, before the shells detonated and the entire left side exploded outwards, showering the area with debris. The second frigate was hit head on, the Impact from the shells devastating the bridge and instantly killing their command crew, even before the enormous explosive force obliterated the front half of the frigate.

Sparks could see icons showing that the Mass drivers were reloading and that the beams were cooling, as the Invictus finally closed to laser cannon range. Now in range to fire back, the blunt nosed frigate opened up with its two pairs of three laser cannons as it charged in bravely. Half the incoming laser fire sailed past harmlessly as Alyssa half rolled the Invictus but the other three blasts of energy all hit squarely and were harmlessly absorbed by their shields.

"Shields at 97% John!" Sparks said excitedly. 

John looked at her and smiled at her enthusiasm.

With Alyssa's skilful roll, the Invictus now faced the passing corvette with its bristling top deck, sixteen turreted laser cannons now able to track the target as it appeared in their firing arcs. Calara opened fire with a ferocious broadside and the Corvette's weaker shields shorted out after the first few impacts, leaving the lightly armoured hull exposed to a blistering barrage. The hull lit up as laser cannon fire tore it to pieces, ripping the ship in half with explosions. 

"Nice work ladies" John commended them both, as they neutralised all active pirate ships in just under ten seconds.

Alyssa brought the Invictus around to flank the Griffon and Alyssa smoothly docked the two craft, the assault cruiser dwarfing the corvette. 

"Do you want me to disable their engines?" Calara asked John cautiously.

"There's no need, I can keep them immobilised with the tractor beam!" Sparks interjected. 

Her fingers pressed a number of controls on the console and the Corvette was enveloped in a shimmering purple field, locking it in place. 

"They aren't going anywhere!" Sparks grinned happily.

"Nice work" John grinned back at her. 

"XO you're with me, let's get suited up fast!" he said to Alyssa, as he rose from his chair.

The young woman nodded and darted down the illuminated steps of the control podium to call the elevator. 

"Calara, keep an eye out for other pirates. Separate the ships if you have to fight, we need to protect the Calypso from any further attacks" he ordered, as he jogged down the steps to the waiting elevator.

The Latina nodded, but looked over at Sparks as they shared a worried expression. The last thing they wanted to do was to abandon their friends with a horde of angry pirates.

John and Alyssa raced down the corridor on deck 2 and darted into their walk-in-wardrobe to hurriedly suit up in their combat armour. John finished gearing up first and after picking up an assault rifle from the weapon rack, he slammed a clip home in the bullpup slot and sighted through the scope. Alyssa had finished getting ready, so he handed her the rifle and a couple of spare clips before picking up the second matching assault rifle and loading it. Grabbing a few spare clips for himself, he turned and followed his lover out of the room as they made their way back to the elevator. 

He could feel the pre-combat tension building and he glanced over to Alyssa to check she was ok. The teenager looked back at him confidently with a lovely smile and he felt reassured that she would be able to handle herself. The door swished open and they both got in, taking the lift down to the lowest deck, where they jogged up to the airlock and John placed his hand on the DNA reader. A flickering green light travelled across the panel and scanned the DNA in his hand, beeping quietly in recognition followed by the airlock door spiralling open in front of them. 

They stepped inside the airlock, with John closed the door to the Invictus behind him and then he produced the small chrome decryption device from a container on his belt. Feeling a strong sense of déjà vu, he hooked up the device and it hummed happily to itself when he placed it on the airlock door to the corvette Griffon. John and Alyssa hugged either side of the doorway and after a few moments there was a dull "Thunk" from the door in front of them and the sturdy airlock door rotated upwards, granting access to the ship. John cautiously peered out but could see no welcoming reception from the pirates, so he retrieved the device and stashed it back on his belt.

The two of them stepped out into the corridor and followed it around the corner as it led deeper into the ship. John could see that the ship was already looking like it had seen better days, after nearly a month in the pirates less than tender care. He listened carefully for the sound of any nearby marauders, but the only noise he could hear was the muted sound of distant gunfire coming from what he could only assume was the freighter. They performed a quick sweep of the ship and John confirmed his suspicions; that the undisciplined pirates had all joined the boarding action and were probably not even aware that their colleagues had already fallen prey to the Invictus.

They found the airlock on the other side of the Griffon was open, as was the interconnecting airlock on the freighter Calypso. John took point and moved quickly and steadily down the first corridor, listening out for the marauding pirates and following the sounds of combat. To an unknowing observer, John and Alyssa moved fluidly as a single unit; he moved up to the corridor and covered the right, the blonde moving simultaneously to cover the left. What that observer would be oblivious to, was the silent stream of thought commands John was giving to Alyssa as he led her into the ship.

*We're approaching another cross section. I can hear sounds ahead, but check the left in case the pirates split up, I'll cover the right*.

*Nicely done. Check our rear every 20 paces or so, just in case anyone slipped around behind us. I'll cover ahead*

They stopped at the latest intersection, as John tilted his head slightly, listening intently.

*I can hear people talking to our right. I'll take the lead, you follow but face behind us and watch in case it's an ambush*.

They walked quietly down the corridor, seeing an open doorway to the side, sounds of talking getting louder.

"It's seems like such a waste" a voice said as it drifted into the corridor.

"I know, but that's what the Captain ordered" a gruff voice said in return.

"They wouldn't mind if we had a go first would they?" the first voice said lecherously, followed by the sounds of female voices sobbing in despair.

"How would they know?" the gruff voice chuckled evilly.

John clenched his teeth with anger and got in position by the doorway, he peeped his head around for a split second before ducking back, glimpsing two figures standing over three kneeling ones.

*Kneel and take the left* He said to Alyssa, as he hugged the wall, making room for her to crouch and ready her weapon, while he sighted his rifle on the pirate to the right.

"Brrt!", "Brrt!" The two assault rifles chattered simultaneously as caseless hollow point rounds slammed into each brigand from behind. Their heads exploded, showering the opposite walls in gore and the pirates slumped over lifelessly.

John walked into the room, checking for any more pirates he might have missed.

"Oh thank you!" one of the kneeling women gasped. "They were going to rape us!"

"You're safe now. Take their weapons and barricade the door" John said, nodding towards the pistols the pirates still grasped in their nerveless fingers.

"But you can't leave us!" one of the other terrified women sobbed.

"We have to save the rest of the crew" John replied brusquely. 

"Don't worry, we'll be back to check on you once we've rescued everyone else" Alyssa said, smiling reassuringly.

Leaving the women to follow his instructions, John and Alyssa moved back into the corridor and headed back to the previous intersection. 

*Be careful now, the others might have heard our gunshots* John warned.

Alyssa glanced at him and nodded. They could still hear the sounds of a gunfight around the corner to their right and after quickly checking the other corridors, they moved to follow the sounds again. A set of double doors was wide open and the flash of gunfire could be seen coming from in the room. John darted silently across to the other side of the door, so that both he and Alyssa could get into position on either side of the doorway. He glanced into the room and saw that the freighter crew were in a dire situation.

"Surrender and we'll spare your lives" a hulking pirate barked, his voice sounding harsh and strangely metallic. The Pirate boss and around a dozen men were spread out behind overturned tables in what used to be the ship's mess. They were armed with a variety of pistols and rifles and were shooting at the kitchen sporadically.

"Fuck you, slaver!" came the reply from the far side of the room, where two men were huddled behind the kitchen unit, firing wildly with their pistols. Blood was sprayed over one side of the kitchen and John could see a body on the floor to their side. He spotted a door behind the brave freighter crewmen and terrified faces peeked around the corner, watching the exchange.

*There's a lot of them* John warned Alyssa. *Take the right side and work your way to the centre, I'll take the left* 

The resolute teenager crouched to avoid crossing lines of fire with him and sighted the far pirate on the right through her scope.

*Ok go!* John thought, giving the signal to his young lover.

They strafed along the row of marauding pirates, round after round slamming into unarmoured flesh, turning this end of the room into a charnel house of red ichor, as blood sprayed in riotous abandon all over the upended tables. The pirates were taken completely unawares and were unable to react in time to the shocking appearance of the attackers behind them. One of them close to the middle leapt over the table in a desperate bid to escape being killed by Alyssa, only for the two freighter crewmen to shoot him as he exposed himself from cover. 

John blasted the last of his pirate targets, bullets stitching their way across the man's chest as he whirled to face him. The man cartwheeled backwards and crashed into the tables, accompanied by the sound of an ominous click as John's magazine ran empty. 

Alyssa had taken out five of her six designated targets, the Calypso crew shooting the sixth, so she targeted the burly pirate leader. Aiming for centre mass, she fired two bursts at his chest as the pirate Captain whirled to face them. The bullets ricocheted harmlessly with metallic sounding pings, leaving the hulking brute unscathed. Now they could see him clearly for the first time, it was apparent that the pirate leader was a heavily augmented cyborg. His torso and right arm were blocky and armoured, his normal body parts changed for bionic replacements.

"I'm gonna fucking rip you apart!!" The enraged cyborg bellowed with a synthetic roar, as he charged towards the two of them.

John was reaching for a spare mag to reload his assault rifle when the Pirate Captain barrelled into them. The pirate clipped Alyssa's arm with his bulky shoulder, knocking her sprawling down the corridor before he slammed into John, the impact of the cyborg's 400 pound frame sending him sailing through the air before crashing into the wall opposite, knocking the wind out of him.

The furious pirate Captain stalked closer and then reached down with his cyber-arm, the powerful servos whirring loudly as he hauled John up off the floor and slammed him repeatedly into the wall. 

"You little insect!" he roared in John's face, before hurling him down the corridor.

John groaned in pain, his back and shoulders throbbing from the brutal battering and desperately tried to reach for his rifle and magazine that had been knocked just out of reach. The cyborg stomped up and booted the rifle out of his outstretched fingers, before leaning down again with his bulky augmented arm to pin John to the floor.

"Brrt!" "Brrt!" "Brrt!" 

Alyssa's rifle barked as she fired three bursts, all aimed for the Pirate captain's head this time, but again the rounds ricocheted away harmlessly.

"Hahahaha!!" The cyborg chortled insanely as her shots bounced off his skull "Armour plated cranium bitch!" he snarled defiantly.

The murderous pirate levelled a broad barrelled grenade launcher in Alyssa's direction and looked down at John, as he writhed futilely under the cyborg's pinning hold.

"Say goodbye to your whore!" The Captain grinned evilly, savouring the desperation in John's eyes.

"I've got to save her!!" John thought frantically, as he fought with all his strength against the relentless power of the Cyber-arm. 

"Raaaarrrrhhhh!!" he bellowed, as his vision seemed to narrow into a tiny tunnel, completely focused on the homicidal cyborg's arm that was preventing him from protecting his woman.

Alyssa stared at the blunt muzzle of the grenade launcher, feeling a chill run down her spine, knowing she had nowhere to hide. When the Pirate Captain charged them, she had been knocked back along the corridor and the nearest doorways were too far away for her to dart to safety. She watched helplessly as John flailed away under the pirate's impeccable grasp, the Cyborg narrowing his eyes and grinning malevolently as he prepared to end her young life.

Suddenly the pirate lurched to the side, tottering over to slam head first into the wall to his side. She could see his dazed expression turn to one of shock, as he was suddenly twisted again and slammed into the wall on the opposite side of the corridor with overwhelming force. John rose smoothly and with deadly purpose, the pirate's cybernetic arm clenched in his hands. He put his booted foot against the pirates torso and hauled back with both arms, ripping the bulky cyber arm away from the pirate's torso to the accompanying screech of twisting metal. The pirate was unbalanced at having the weighty limb ripped so unceremoniously from his body and he crashed over on to his side with a noisy clang.

John casually tossed the 100lb arm aside as if it weighed nothing and the cyborg watched him incredulously as the man bore down on him. 

The Pirate Captain still had the grenade launcher clenched in his fist and he swung it around, preparing to fire at point blank range. John caught his arm in his right hand, just below the wrist and then chopped down with his left, breaking the marauder's forearm with a sickening crunch. The cyborg stared at his ruined arm in horror as John knelt on his chest.

"Time to die" John said, his voice low and menacing.

He grabbed each side of the Pirate Captain's head in his hands and pulled, the Cyborg's metallic strangled death screech echoed down the corridors, as John ripped the slaver's head clean off his body. 

Suddenly exhausted, John slumped backwards, letting the pirates lifeless head slip from his fingers and roll off to the side. Alyssa dashed up to him, her face full of concern.




Three Square Meals Ch. 14



"John, are you ok?" she asked, her voice full of worry.

Alyssa cupped his head in her hands and looking into his eyes. She couldn't pick up any thoughts from him and he seemed to be dazed. She shook him gently and he gradually regained full consciousness, his eyes becoming bright and focused again.

"What happened?" John asked, bewildered.

"Let's discuss it later" Alyssa said firmly, as she helped him to stand. 

John picked up his assault rifle and magazine from the floor, wincing at the sharp pain in his back and shoulders from where the cyborg had tried to insert him into the wall. They walked back to the mess hall, where the two crewmen from the Calypso were cautiously checking on the pirates that John and Alyssa had gunned down. More freighter crew were coming out from the storage area behind the kitchen, looks of relief etched on their fear drawn faces.

One of the crew, the brown haired woman who spoken to them earlier, stepped forward holding a makeshift trauma bandage to her left arm. 

"Thank you Commander! You saved us!" she said passionately.

The rest of the Calypso's crew had gathered around and they echoed their Captain's words, thanking John and Alyssa profusely.

"We rescued three women in another room back there too" Alyssa said "We were going to let them know when the rest of the ship was safe"

"Oh thank god!" One of the men blurted. "Bless you, the pair of you!"

"I'll let my wife know the coast is clear" the man said, heaving a sigh of relief as he moved to leave the room.

John waved away the thanks from the crew of the Calypso, nodding graciously. 

"We better get back to our ship" he told the freighter Captain. "Will you be ok here?"

"Our engines took some heavy damage, so we'll have to wait for assistance from Port Heracles" the Captain replied. "You go ahead though, Terran Federation patrols responded to our distress beacon and said they'd be arriving in two hours" she said. "We never would have survived that long though if you hadn't arrived in time though!".

"We'll return to the Invictus and cover you" John said reassuringly.

He turned to face Alyssa, smiling at her. "Come on honey, we should let the others know we're ok"

The beautiful blonde nodded and waved goodbye to the Calypso crew. They clapped and cheered as the two of them left, the applause echoing down the corridors as they walked back to the Griffon to get to their ship.

"Are you ok?" Alyssa asked him as soon as they were alone, her voice tinged with concern.

"I feel drained and my back feels like I just wrestled a bull and lost, but other than that I'm fine" John said honestly.

"You managed to rip apart steel with your bare hands" Alyssa said, feeling awed as she remembered John tearing the cyborg's arm off his body. "I've never seen anything like it!"

"Adrenalin rush I guess" John shrugged. "I just knew I had to stop him from hurting you and then I sort of blacked out".

"Well thank you for saving me" She smiled at him gratefully, realising that John had no answers to explain his mighty surge of strength.

They arrived at the docking collar between the Griffon and the Invictus and John activated the airlock into the Assault Cruiser by placing his hand on the DNA reader. The airlock door spiralled open and they headed into the ship, Alyssa sealing the airlock behind them.

"We're back on board" John said into his watch communicator after he got through to Calara. "Disengage from the Griffon and provide cover for the Calypso, relief will be here within 2 hours. We're going to our room to get out of this gear".

"Oh John, we were so worried about you two!" the image of Calara said, forgetting to call him Commander she was so overwhelmed with relief. 

"We're fine, honestly" John said, smiling at her affectionately "we'll catch up with you soon".

Calara grinned at his smiling face and waved goodbye "Executing your orders, Commander" she said cheerfully, ending the call. 

John slumped, having put on a brave face for the Latina and walked wearily to his quarters with Alyssa watching him closely as she kept him company. They entered their walk-in-wardrobe, where the beautiful blonde helped him gingerly peel off his armour, trying to be careful not to hurt his back or shoulders.

Sparks walked in on them just as Alyssa had taken off the last of John's armour from his upper body, his muscular chest and arms exposed. 

"Oh my god! What happened to you?" Sparks gasped in alarm, seeing the black and purple bruises covering his back.

"A run in with an insane cyborg" John said, wincing as Alyssa helped him remove the armour from his legs.

"I got bashed about a bit" he said, downplaying the encounter.

"It looks like you got run over by an ore hauler!" Sparks said with concern, as she gently ran her fingers over the mottled bruises on his back.

Alyssa quickly stripped out of her own armour, leaving it all in a jumbled pile on the floor.

"Come on John, let's get you cleaned up and then you can have a rest" the beautiful blonde teenager said comfortingly.

Sparks went ahead of them to turn on the shower and then stripped off to join them as John and Alyssa stood under the soothing warm water. The girls cleaned him up tenderly, washing the gore from the fight off his face and hands. Sparks looked puzzled at how he got so drenched in blood, but a glance from Alyssa told her not to ask.

John stood under the relaxing streams of water, letting the young girls clean his body. He realised that Alyssa still had questions about the brutal melee onboard the Calypso, but he had no real answers and was too weary to care at the moment. Alyssa moved into his line of sight as she washed his chest and he noticed the angry red welt on her left arm, from where she had been clipped by the cyborg.

"Honey, you're hurt!" he said in alarm.

"It's nothing serious" Alyssa said, shrugging off his worry.

She smiled as she read his concerned thoughts "Ok, you can give me a full tummy after the shower, I'll be good as new in no time" she said placating him.

Nodding languidly, John let the girls lead him from the shower and then stood swaying as they gently dried him off. He followed them into the bedroom and gingerly lay in the centre of the bed, being careful not to aggravate his sore back and shoulders. Alyssa moved between his legs and began to suck on his cock expertly, soon having him rock hard and ready for action. John ran his hand through her soft blonde hair as she made love to him with her mouth, urging him to fill her stomach with his load. John wanted his potent cum to get to work on her immediately, so he made no effort to hold back. In record time Alyssa brought him to orgasm and then sucked hungrily to make sure he gave her every last drop of his spunk. 

She saved the final mouthful for Sparks as she moved up the bed, pushing the redhead on to her back and moving in to give her a loving kiss to share John's cum with the girl. Both teenagers then carefully cuddled up with John on either side, bracing him with their firm, warm breasts. John smiled contentedly and fell asleep almost immediately. 

Sparks reached over John to rest her hand on Alyssa's swollen belly, stroking the heavily rounded sphere with a gentle touch and enjoying seeing her blonde friend's blissfully happy expression. This was the first time in quite a while that Alyssa had been able to swallow down a full load of John's spunk, having shared him so generously with Calara and then Sparks over the last few weeks. The beautiful blonde girl relished the contentedly full feeling and Sparks loving caresses of her sperm stuffed stomach was the icing on the cake. The girls were tired after all the excitement that morning and they soon dropped off to sleep as well.

John slept and another dream disturbed his rest. This time he dreamt that he was kneeling before the luminous figure that had saved him in the previous dream, bathing in the soothing glow that emanated from her. He did nothing but soak in her radiance, arms spread wide to welcome the gentle warmth, his body feeling like it was tingling pleasantly all over. 

He started awake and a glance at the ship's chronometer told him he had slept for just over an hour. He stretched, being careful not to wake the girls and was pleasantly surprised to realise that the soreness in his back and shoulders had disappeared. In fact he felt like he had just had a full night's sleep and was raring to go again. 

Remembering that Alyssa had been injured in the fight too, he looked over at her left arm with concern. Seeing nothing but unblemished bronzed skin, he thought he might have misremembered which arm had received the angry red welt, so he carefully extricated himself from between the girls so that he could take a better look at the blonde girl's right arm. He scrutinised her right arm closely, but it matched the left, with a smooth expanse of fresh young perfect skin.

"Checking to see I'm not broken?" Alyssa whispered to him, smiling.

"Sorry honey" John said bashfully, "I didn't mean to wake you up, I just wanted to see how bad the hit on your arm was. Which one was it again?" he asked, confused.

"My left" she said, with conviction. She rolled on her side to show him the spot where the Pirate Captain had bashed into her, but was surprised she couldn't see anything untoward there.

"Flawless again" John smiled, stroking her beautiful teenage flesh lovingly.

"This is potent stuff!" Alyssa smiled, cupping her rounded tummy full of cum with both hands.

"How's your back feeling John?" Sparks asked him, leaning up on her side.

"Oh sorry honey, I didn't mean to wake you up too" John apologised, which was met with a warm smile of forgiveness.

"Actually I feel great! there's no soreness at all and I feel completely refreshed" he said, happily.

Sparks rose from the bed smoothly and then gracefully glided around the bed to check his battered back. 

"Wow! The bruises have all gone!" Sparks said stunned. 

She ran her hand delicately over his back and shoulders, tracing the areas that should have been an ugly mottled patchwork of black and blue. Seeing no evidence of any kind of injuries, she moved forward to wrap her tanned arms around him, pressing her big full breasts against his back and kissing his shoulder tenderly, her long hair brushing softly against him. John reached back to caress the side of her face affectionately.

"I wonder why you healed so fast" Alyssa said, looking up at him with a puzzled expression on her stunningly beautiful face.

"I can understand us healing when our bodies feed off your cum, but this doesn't make much sense" she continued. "Do you think your orgasm triggered your faster recovery?" she asked him doubtfully.

"Hmm, that doesn't sound right to me" John replied, "it must be the love of a good woman that did it" he said jokingly.

"Good women!" Sparks insisted "You know I'm hopelessly in love with you John" she said happily.

John turned and picked up the lovely redhead, sitting her in his lap, her toned thighs wrapped around him. "I've fallen in love with you too" he told the girl with heartfelt conviction in his voice.

"Oh John" Sparks sighed, melting into his arms.

Alyssa lay on the bed watching the two of them kiss lovingly, happy tears welling in her eyes. She was delighted to see her lover and best friend falling for each other and she felt a warm glow in her heart, knowing that she had been able to bring about such a dramatic change for the better in her old friend's life. 

The poignant moment was interrupted by the flashing of the communicator, indicating an incoming call. Alyssa reached over to answer the communication and Calara's beautiful face filled the vid-screen.

"Sorry to interrupt your rest" She apologised . "I just wanted to let you know several ships have appeared on the long range scans. From the transponder codes, it looks like it's the relief you mentioned, they are reading as a group of Terran Federation vessels".

"Thanks Calara, we'll be right there" John said, looking over Sparks' shoulder where she sat in his lap.

Calara smiled at them affectionately and ended the call. 

"Come on you two lovebirds" Alyssa said, grinning playfully "You can make her your woman later" she said good naturedly, causing Sparks to blush.

John looked back at the blissfully happy redhead "Sorry honey, duty calls. We'll continue this later, I promise!" he said, smiling at her.

"Consider that a date!" Sparks said, beaming back at him.

The three of them dressed quickly and headed back up to the command deck. Icons showing a Terran Federation Cruiser and three Destroyers were highlighted on the tactical map, as the incoming vessels approached their position. John had just settled in to his command chair when the flashing light on his console indicated an incoming hail. He pressed the button to receive the call and the vid-screen in the centre of the bridge flickered into life, a distinguished looking man with greying temples and wearing a Terran Federation Navy uniform filling the image.

"This is Captain Flintlock of the Cruiser Indomitable, please identify yourself Assault Cruiser" the man requested politely.

"This is Commander John Blake of the Invictus, it's good to see you Captain" John replied.

"The distress beacon from the Calypso reported a pirate attack, do you know what happened to them?" Captain Flintlock asked curiously.

"We destroyed two frigates and a corvette, then boarded a second corvette to help the freighter crew fight off a pirate boarding action." John explained.

"It sounds like we were very lucky you happened by Commander" the Captain said gratefully "but your ship is registered as a civilian vessel?"

"I'm ex-navy, currently retired" John explained.

"Well thank you for your assistance Commander Blake" the Captain said, a new tone of respect in his voice.

"The docked Corvette is the Griffon, it was captured by pirates over a month ago. Can I leave that and the Calypso in your custody?" John asked.

"Of course" Captain Flintlock replied "We have repair crews that can assist the freighter and I can spare some men to get the Griffon back to Port Heracles. Are you in a hurry to get somewhere?" he asked, smiling.

"Actually yes, we think we've identified the source of the attacks and are going to eliminate the pirate base" John said nonchalantly.

"You're going to do what?!" Captain Flintlock said stunned.

"I'm lucky to have a gifted Tactical officer and she figured out the source. We believe they're based in the Chendar system" John said, smiling at Calara, who blushed at his praise.

"Do you want us to take care of them?" the Captain volunteered immediately.

"Thank you Captain but this is personal, we have a score to settle" John explained.

"I understand Commander" Captain Flintlock said nodding. "When the Calypso is under way, we'll head towards the Chendar system in case you need assistance with the cleanup"

"Much appreciated Captain" John said "Invictus out" and they ended the call.

"Ok Alyssa, let's resume our course if you please" he said as he smiled at the beautiful blonde.

"Already on it" she replied grinning at him, as she powered up the massive engines on the Assault Cruiser and the ship turned smoothly to her new heading before leaping into Hyper-warp.

"John, Calara and I found something interesting while you were on board the Calypso" Sparks said tentatively.

"What did you find?" He asked intrigued.

Sparks looked over at Calara who nodded and continued their tale.

"You did well getting this one to join us" Calara said smiling at the redhead affectionately, causing the girl to blush. 

"Sparks hacked into the Griffon and downloaded the ship's log, the navigation logs and their tactical maps" the brunette said, clearly impressed.

"Not only that, but she scanned the wreckage of the two destroyers and the corvette and managed to break the encryption on their blocked transponders!" Calara went on.

"I've managed to put together a complete order of battle for what's left of the pirate fleet and I've confirmed that they're definitely using the Gas mining facility as a base" She said, as she pressed a few buttons bringing up the listings for the pirate fleet.

"Twenty ships!" John was astonished, as he glanced through the itinerary of decommissioned Terran Federation vessels "How could they have bought and outfitted so many ex-Navy ships?"

"That's the other thing John" Calara continued grimly "I've been studying the listings for ship registrations and all these old military vessels were decommissioned from the salvage yard at Port Heracles. They should have had their weapons stripped and then the hulls sold off to salvage dealers, but that didn't happen".

"This stinks of corruption" John said, his jaw clenching in anger.

Calara nodded, confirming his dark suspicions.

"They were all bought by the same buyer, a Mr Everett Hitch"

"and who authorised the transactions?" John asked forebodingly.

"Commander Rupert Grant" Calara said, her face bleak.

"Grant! I knew I should have put a bullet in that bastard's head!" John fumed.

Sparks looked at Calara, Alyssa and John seeing a wide range of emotions on their faces: Sadness, shock and anger respectively.

"Sorry to Interrupt, but who is this 'Commander Rupert Blake' guy?" she asked curiously.

"We had a run in with him at Port Heracles, he's the Commander of the station and in charge of this sector" Alyssa explained. "Plus he tried to ruin Calara's life!" she said angrily.

"I hate him already!" Sparks said vehemently.

John blew out his breath in a big sigh. "Ok we'll deal with Grant later, we need to focus on the Pirates for the moment" he said calming down.

He looked through the listings for the Pirate fleet "Corvette, Corvette, Destroyer, Frigate, Corvette..." he called out as he read the ship classifications.

"Heavy Cruiser!" he said with shock. "Calara, that can't be right?" he asked the brunette.

"I'm afraid so John" she said soberly.

"How in the hell did they get their hands on that?" John blurted out, before slumping back in his chair.

"That's bad right?" Sparks asked, concerned.

Calara nodded grimly and brought up the detailed specifications for the Heavy Cruiser.

"The Heavy Cruiser Stalingrad is armed with six beam lasers and eight heavy cannon on both port and starboard sides. It's designed to use broadsides in combat, but also has full coverage with a defence grid and laser cannon turrets." She brought up the weapon arcs for the formidable looking ship. At just over 700 metres it was significantly larger than their Assault Cruiser.

"Can we fight that thing in the Invictus?" Sparks asked, her voice tinged with worry.

Calara paused for a moment before continuing. "Yes, but it's going to be a very tough fight"

Silence descended on the bridge as they absorbed this troubling news. 

"Wait a moment" Alyssa said brightly. "Look at the yaw and pitch ratings for that ship!"

They all looked up at the detailed information displayed in front of them, but nothing immediately jumped out at the others why this would be good news.

"That thing turns like a brick!" The beautiful blonde said excitedly.

"Oh very nice Alyssa!" Calara said, catching on to what her friend had spotted.

Sparks still looked mystified.

"Look at the fire arcs, the Heavy Cruisers main guns have no rear coverage. If Alyssa can manage it, we can get behind them and they won't be able to broadside us!" Calara exclaimed, hopeful for the first time.

"Damn you girls are good!" John exclaimed. "I knew I kept you ladies around for something" John joked with them affectionately. 

The girl's all grinned back at him happily.

"Ok let's take a look at the tactical maps from the Griffon" he asked Calara.




Three Square Meals Ch. 14



The Latina brought up the System map of Chendar and showed the Gas Mining Facility as well as the patrol routes of the pirate ships stationed at the base.

"If we hit their patrols first, we should be able to take them apart piecemeal" John said. "They are pirates, not Elite military crews, so if we smash them hard and fast, we should be able to wipe out most of their picket ships before the rest can react". 

"Very good Commander!" Calara said "Then we engage whatever's left and clean out the smaller ships first, then finally take on the Stalingrad".

"We could always wait and join up with the Terran Federation patrol" Sparks suggested "With another four friendly ships, surely this would be a lot easier?" she said logically.

"That's true" John admitted "It would be much easier with Flintlock's assistance"

"We would have to wait at least another day to synchronise our attack with the other ships" Alyssa informed them neutrally. "They are currently repairing the Calypso and the Invictus has been heavily modified, so we are much faster than they are. I can get us there in another three hours" she said confidently.

"That's another day of pirate attacks on innocent people" Calara said passionately.

John looked at each of the girls in turn. "This is going to be a nasty fight and our lives are going to be in considerable danger. I want you to tell me your honest opinion: attack or wait?"

"We strike!" Calara said passionately.

Sparks glanced at the brunette and then back up at John, recalling their earlier conversation "Attack" she said solemnly.

Alyssa knew John's thoughts and agreed with them wholeheartedly "It's payback time" she said in a low voice.

John nodded his agreement "Unanimous then. It's judgement day in Chendar".

"Calara I think your original plan is still the best. We sneak in under cover of the asteroid belt and do passive scans of their ships. We can disable anything with heavy life readings, in case those ships are holding slaves and we eliminate everything else." he said, outlining his plan.

"If we go in with minimal power, we won't have the shields up in the asteroid field. Will you be able to navigate us through cleanly?" he asked Alyssa.

"Oh please!" The bold young woman said, waving away his concerns with a dismissive hand "It'll be like going for a joyride in a mining cart!"

They laughed at her brazen confidence, which lightened the mood somewhat.

"Ok I want you girls to go and rest for a couple of hours" he said firmly.

He silenced their chorus of objections with a stern look. "It's going to be a tough fight and I want you all well rested. This isn't up for negotiation".

Seeing his determined look, the three teenagers rose and headed to the elevator obediently. He came to meet them at the elevator door and they each gave him a kiss goodbye. 

"Now no mischief, get some sleep if you can. You're going to need all your energy" he told them.

The girls laughed and waved him goodbye as the elevator doors shut. 

John walked back up to his command chair and sat down in it, the burden of responsibility weighing heavily on his shoulders. He was going to lead three teenage girls into battle against 20 to 1 odds. He wasn't exaggerating earlier, the girls were absolutely amazing, but was his confidence in them making him take too big a risk?

Putting aside his fears for a moment, he contacted Vice Admiral Charles Harris using a secured channel on the powerful communications relay built into the Invictus. Even using a top of the range Hyper-pulse communicator, it still took a few minutes to establish a connection to his old friend.

"John! It's good to hear from you" a friendly voice said as the image of the distinguished military man filled the view screen.

"Thanks Charles, it's good to speak to you too" John replied.

"Having problems with the Invictus?" Charles asked with a hint of worry in his voice.

"Oh no, nothing like that, the old girl has been amazing!" John grinned at him. "Thanks for those extra modifications you made to the commander's quarters by the way" he smiled.

Charles laughed, pleased that John had appreciated his gift "You're welcome. What did your XO think?" he asked, his eyes twinkling mischievously.

"Alyssa liked it very much" John grinned at him.

"You lucky rascal, she's one hell of a woman John!" Charles whistled appreciatively.

"Yeah, she's amazing" John concurred.

"Well I'm sure you didn't call to tell me about your love life. What can I do for you?" Charles asked curiously.

"Two things. Firstly I need to report some damning evidence of criminal activity by Commander Rupert Grant" John reported.

"Hmm I remember that officer from your report a few weeks ago. What's he done now?" Charles asked.

"Assisting piracy, corruption, culpable homicide, treason..." John listed the man's crimes grimly.

"You better send me what you've got" Charles said bleakly. "What's the second thing?"

"We're about to assault a pirate base" he told his old friend. "If we don't make it for any reason, I want you to know all the details".

"The Invictus can handle anything pirates can throw at you" Charles said dismissively "You'll be fine" he smiled.

"They have twenty ex-military vessels and one of them is a Heavy Cruiser" John told him soberly.

"Don't be ridiculous!" Charles scoffed "No pirate could possibly put together that kind of a fleet".

"I'm sending you the details of their full roster of ships" John replied. "In any case, there's something else going on; some other group has been funding these pirates, I'm sure of it".

"You're serious?" Charles looked shocked. "You can't face those kind of odds John, that's suicide!"

"I've got a hell of a crew" he said, smiling confidently.

"Well I wish you luck John, I hope you don't need it" the Vice Admiral said, his frowning face lined with worry.

"We'll see you in a week" John grinned boldly.

"You have some balls!" Charles laughed. "Ok I'll see you then"

They ended the call and John was left with his thoughts. 

Two hours later and the door swished open, the teenage crewmembers of the Invictus coming up to take their places at the bridge. Alyssa gracefully ascended the Command podium, walking up the illuminated set of steps to the Commander's chair.

"Hey handsome" she said affectionately, giving John a kiss. "We've all just eaten and I thought you might be hungry too" she said, presenting him with a delicious smelling plate of food and a bottle of water.

"What would I do without you?" John grinned at her as he took the plate and bottle eagerly.

John ate as the girl's prepared themselves for the upcoming battle and ten minutes later, the Invictus jumped into the outskirts of the Chendar system and left Hyper-warp. They could see nothing on the long range scans but they put all systems on low power except for the engines. Alyssa brought them in closer towards the long deep asteroid belts that orbited the star and reduced engine power as they approached.

Thousands of huge rocky asteroids spun and drifted slowly in the field, all that remained of two planetary bodies that had collided millennia ago. Ramming any of these moving hazards could prove fatal to the Invictus with the shields down, even with the thick armour plating protecting the hull. Alyssa was confident however and she guided the Assault cruiser through the asteroid belt with an agility that one would have thought impossible in a ship that size. Sparks watched in alarm as they seemed to swing perilously close to vast asteroids, but their skilled navigator never wavered and the enormous hunks of rock sailed past harmlessly. She eventually brought them to a stop in an impact crater on a behemoth of an asteroid that spun lazily at the edge of the belt.

"Excellent job honey" John said to Alyssa, impressed by her skills. She smiled back at him proudly.

"Ok Calara, passive scans only, what can you see?" he asked the eager Latina.

The brunette brought up the tactical map of the Chendar system, showing the Gas mining facility looking like some kind of bloated red arachnid in the centre of the map. The Invictus was lurking in the bottom right corner, the graphical representation of the Assault cruiser partially obscured by the asteroid belt. The rest of the map began to populate as more information came back from the passive scans.

There were three groups of picket ships moving in lazy loops around the outskirts of the pirates base. Five more ships were docked at the base itself and a group of seven were heading out of the system, on a path that would take them fairly near the Invictus' current location in the asteroid belt. All the ships had deactivated transponders, so the identity of each vessel remained hidden.

"Let me see if I can shed a bit more light on the situation" Sparks said impishly, as she began to hack the encryption on the blocked transponders using the same algorithm she had developed earlier. Within moments the tactical map redrew itself, showing the precise identification of each ship.

"Excellent work Sparks!" John said enthusiastically. At a stroke she had eliminated a huge element of the unknown and it would make their planning for the rest of the battle incomparably easier.

The picket groups each consisted of a frigate with two corvettes and the outbound ships were a destroyer , two frigates and four corvettes. The final group docked at the Gas mining facility was the Heavy Cruiser, a destroyer and two corvettes.

"I thought there were only supposed to be twenty ships?" Alyssa asked. "What's that?" she said, pointing at a mystery vessel that was docked alongside the Heavy Cruiser.

"I can't hack that code" Sparks admitted.

"It's big whatever it is" Calara replied, looking at the mass readings for the unknown craft.

"Ok same plan as before" John said. "We hit that leaving group and smash them as quickly as possible. Once they're all destroyed, we move on to the picket ships. When we lose the element of surprise, I want an active scan of the ships near the pirates base".

"Yes Commander" the girl's all chorused together, no-one joking now, the stakes too high.

"Life sign readings from the Passive scans?" He asked Calara.

"Low on all vessels except the Heavy Cruiser and the mystery ship" the brunette responded immediately.

"Ok its clean up time" John said, glad to not have to worry about innocent victims on the outlying ships. 

"Weapons hot and shields up, let's eliminate that first group" he ordered.

The destroyer was the biggest ship, blocky and menacing, just over 200 metres in length and sat in the middle of the formation. The frigates were smaller, coming in at approximately half the size and they flanked each side of the command ship. Finally the four much smaller corvettes ranged out in front of the formation. 

The Invictus leapt out from the cover of the asteroid and pounced on the departing ships as they cruised by, oblivious to the danger they were in. Alyssa had waited until the pirate craft had travelled past their position, so when the Invictus surged out they were directly behind the enemy ships.

Calara's right hand triggered the powerful beam lasers and all six hit their targets in the rear. The two frigates didn't have shields active, so the beam lasers cored through their engines, slicing them in half, and punched into the central hulls of the pirate ships. One of the beams penetrated through the entire length of one frigate, vaporising the bridge. The other was hit at a slight angle and two of the beams blasted out of the side, depressurising the ship. Crippled, both frigates began to spin lazily, all engine power destroyed as they continued their forward momentum.

"Firing main guns!" Calara called a second later, as her left hand cycled through the weapons.

The Invictus trembled with the recoil and the four heavy shells blasted out from the enormous weapons and slammed into the rear of the shieldless destroyer. There was very light armour over the engines and the shells penetrated deep into the hull before a chain of explosive detonations obliterated the command ship, scattering thousands of chunks of debris in a wide radius.

"Nice shooting Calara!" John said, impressed by her accuracy. 

Sparks was amazed at the sheer destructive capability they had at their command. Hitting unshielded vessels magnified the effectiveness of their weapons substantially.

The four remaining Corvettes did not react immediately, as they were caught completely by surprise. By the time two of the Corvettes had begun to take evasive manoeuvres the beam weapons had cooled and were ready to fire again. Calara caressed the trigger and the six beams blasted out, three per Corvette. The Corvettes had managed to raise their shields, but it did little good and the brilliant beams of energy instantly overloaded them before punching straight through the lightly armoured hulls. One Corvette exploded a second later, the other had been skewered through the power plant, instantly taking out all power.

By the time the last two Corvettes had powered up shields and begun to react, the Invictus was upon them, the laser cannon batteries now in range. Alyssa pushed the nose of their Assault Cruiser down so that they would eventually fly under the fleeing Corvettes and Calara was able to open up with the sixteen top deck laser cannon turrets. Each of the Corvettes was bombarded by an unrelenting hail of laser fire and both exploded seconds after their shields were overwhelmed.

"Outstanding!" John exclaimed, the first contact going better than he could have ever imagined.

The girls all grinned up at him, delighted at the one sided fight.

"Ok time for those picket ships" John said, looking up at the tactical map. The entire fight was over in just under 30 seconds and so far none of the other ships had reacted to the devastating surprise assault.

"One minute until we reach the first group" Alyssa called out, as she brought the Invictus about in a smooth graceful arc to engage its next victims.

Finally realising what had happened, the first of the picket groups moved to engage them, seeming unaware at just how heavily outclassed they were. With the pirate vessels heading directly towards them, the Invictus was in firing range within forty seconds. Calara instantly gutted the frigate like a skilled fishwife, the six beam lasers punching through the shields and then slicing the frigate in half. 

Suddenly shockingly aware of their impending doom, the remaining Corvettes turned to attempt to flee, but they were not fast enough to escape the Assault Cruiser's hunger for blood. Alyssa kept their course steady and on the same plane, so that Calara was able to broadside each routing Corvette with 12 laser cannons, the bottom deck turrets also able to add to the salvo. Unsurprisingly, the terror stricken pirate crews were killed moments later as each Corvette was ripped apart by powerful, military grade laser cannons.

"Moving to engage picket group two" Alyssa said confidently, as she pointed the Invictus towards the next three ships.

"Picket group three is fleeing!" Sparks said, pointing at the third group that was turning in the opposite direction to the Invictus and desperately running for safety.

"Let them go" John said, "if we can eliminate the second group quickly, we might be able to hit the Heavy Cruiser while it's still docked!"

"Thirty seconds until we engage the second picket group" Alyssa noted.

"Active scans on the Heavy Cruiser and the Mystery ship when we get within range please Calara" John ordered.

"Yes Sir!" the brunette acknowledged, as she prepared to fire on the last picket group.

"What are they thinking?" Sparks wondered aloud, shaking her head in bewilderment at the pirates stupidity, as the second group came within reach of the Invictus and the ship devoured them in coruscating blasts of laser fire. 

"Ok active scans please" John requested.

"I'm picking up just over one hundred life signs on the Heavy Cruiser" Calara said as she read the report from the scans. "Over five hundred on the other ship". 

"It looks like most of the slaves have been transferred to our mystery ship" John surmised.

"Sparks, can you bring up an image of the ship please?" he asked the eager redhead.

"Sure John, there we go!" she said as an image filled the screen in the centre of the bridge.

The Mystery vessel was bigger than their cruiser, at well over 900 metres in length. It had ribbed plating across the top that bristled with weapons and the underbelly of the ship was segmented and bulged with spherical compartments. Sparks thought it looked like some kind of enormous mechanical insect.

"Those bastards, how could they?!" John exclaimed, while Calara gasped in horror.

"What's the matter?" Alyssa asked, surprised at such a strong reaction from her friends.

"That's a Kirrix hive ship!" Calara said, her voice laden with dread.



Three Square Meals Ch. 15



"I take it that's bad then?" Sparks asked, startled by John and Calara's shocked reaction to the mystery ship. "Who are the Kirrix exactly?"

"They are kill on sight to all species in the Galactic League" John explained briefly. "They're a parasitic insectoid species that use other life forms to incubate their young. When their larvae hatch, they eat their way out of their victims!" he said, his mouth twisting with disgust.

"I can't believe these pirates would capture slaves for them. That's diabolic, even for pirates!" Calara exclaimed, looking sickened.

"They must have been getting paid huge sums of money. At least we know how the pirates were able to afford to buy all these ships" John reasoned.

"It looks like they're making a run for it!" Alyssa said, pointing at the tactical map. 

The Kirrix hive ship had undocked from the Heavy Cruiser and was pulling away from the Gas Mining facility. Similarly, the Heavy Cruiser had also disembarked from their base and was turning to run in another direction, the Destroyer and two Corvettes moving to flank it as it fled the Chendar system and the rampaging Invictus.

"We can't let the Kirrix escape!" Calara pleaded, "There's over four hundred captives on board that ship!"

"Move to engage the Kirrix please Alyssa" John said resolutely. "It can't be helped, we're going to have to let the rest of the Pirates escape" he said sadly.

Sparks turned to her console and hit a series of buttons and then focused intently on a series of reports in front of her.

Alyssa changed course to intercept the Kirrix hive ship and the Invictus surged ahead, beginning their frantic pursuit.

"Three minutes until we're in range" She said confidently.

"How long until they're far enough away from the planet to go to Hyper-warp?" John asked.

Alyssa did a few quick calculations "Five minutes" she said, looking worried.

"Diverting weapon and shield power to engines" Sparks said distractedly, swiping her hand across the subsystem distribution hologram floating above her console.

The Invictus shuddered as the massive engines throbbed with power and propelled the assault cruiser forward at a speed remarkable for a vessel that large.

"Two minutes until interception!" Alyssa exclaimed. "How did you do that Sparks?" she asked amazed.

"I disengaged the safeties. We'll be perfectly fine for a few minutes, do it for too long though and we risk rupturing the power core". Sparks replied unperturbed.

John, Calara and Alyssa exchanged worried glances. 

"We'll be fine" the redhead grinned, "trust me".

Calara returned her focus to the Tactical readout of the Kirrix hive ship. She counted at least 24 turreted weapons on the top deck, each weapon barrel over 20 metres in length. 

"Those are neutron beams" John warned her, "We can't go toe to toe with that kind of firepower"

"Ok we'll attack them from below" Calara said "if they change course to try and bring those guns to bear, it'll stop them jumping out of the system".

John nodded his agreement and the Invictus charged after the departing alien ship, closing the gap between them rapidly.

"One minute until we're in range" Alyssa advised everyone.

On the tactical map overhead, the icons depicting the Heavy Cruiser and its escorts blinked and disappeared as the pirates jumped out of the system.

"They got away" Calara said, disappointed.

"Maybe not!" Sparks said eagerly, as her hands glided in a blur over the console.

"What do you mean Sparks?" John asked curiously.

"Take a look at this!" The redhead exclaimed proudly.

A map of the sector appeared above the Engineering station, large enough for the rest of the bridge crew to see. The Chendar system was clearly marked and a glowing green path left the system and headed outbound, extremely complex calculations flashing alongside the route. 

"I used the ship's sensors to track them and when the pirate ships jumped out, I was able to calculate their flight path. As long as we don't delay too long, we can chase them and use the ship's Interdictor to pull them out of hyper-warp" the redhead said confidently.

"Wow! That's amazing honey, great job!" John grinned at her, delighted.

"Thanks John" Sparks said thrilled that her plan had worked.

"Ten seconds until we're in range" Alyssa warned them.

Sparks made some more manipulations to the power distribution hologram that was hovering above her console.

"All systems back to normal operating levels" She said with satisfaction.

Alyssa pushed the nose down on the Invictus so that they were heading on a trajectory below the Kirrix vessel. The alien ship maintained their current heading, so the assault cruiser was able to slip out of the fire arcs of all but the two rearmost neutron beams. As they closed to their own beam laser range, the Kirrix ship opened fire, sickly green energy streams lancing out at the Invictus. Somehow Alyssa was able to dodge one of the beams with a slight course correction, but the other hit the shields with a throbbing green glow.

"Shields down to 90% John!" Sparks warned him. "We won't last long if we get hit by too many of those!"

Alyssa brought the nose of the Invictus up slightly, bringing their beam lasers to bear. Calara pulled the trigger and the six beams slashed across the shielding on the alien ship, causing blinding spirals of light as the surging energy was dissipated.

"Enemy shields still holding" Sparks called out as she began active scans of the huge alien behemoth.

Alyssa dipped the nose of the Invictus again, so that they continued on their downward course. They were no longer burning out the engines with the extra burst of speed from before, but their ship was still considerably faster than the lumbering Kirrix craft. The enemy ship fired again, hitting with both beams this time.

"Shields down to 70%" Sparks said with concern.

Fortunately they were now flying directly underneath the alien vessel and it's weaponless underbelly was exposed to the topdeck of the assault cruiser. Calara opened up with the laser cannons and a cascade of laser blasts ripped into the bottom of the enemy ship, their shields blazing brightly as they absorbed dozens of hits.

Suddenly the shields winked out, overwhelmed by the ferocious barrage of laser fire and the laser cannons began to strike home on the hull of the Kirrix ship.

"Stop firing!" Sparks yelled in alarm, causing the others to look at her in surprise.

"The active scan is showing all the humans located in the belly of that ship. If we keep hitting the bottom of those segmented sections, we risk killing the captives!" she said urgently.

"What are our options Calara?" John asked the Latina.

"I don't have technical readouts for the ship, so I'm not sure where the vulnerable systems are located. I can take out the engines easily enough though" She replied confidently.

"Good plan, take them out!" John ordered.

"Yes Commander", the gorgeous brunette said resolutely.

Calara targeted the bulky sections at the rear of the alien ship that were obviously engines, given away by their ion trails and the laser cannon turrets swung around to focus on them. She began to carefully strafe the rear sections of the engines, landing repeated hits and blowing chunks off the armoured engine housing. Finally realising the serious danger presented by the Invictus, the Kirrix abandoned any idea of escaping the system and began to roll the ship to bring their neutron beams to bear.

"Adjusting course to maintain position" Alyssa stated as she brought the Invictus around, turning so that they began to gently loop around the alien ship, matching their roll rate.

The relentless laser impacts began to take their toll and one of the three Kirrix engines ruptured, spewing smoke and debris out into space. The Kirrix suddenly reversed the direction of their roll, causing Alyssa to pull the nose up hard on the Invictus to avoid flying right over the top of the enemy ship and right into their killing zone. Unfortunately they were still exposed to fire from some of the Neutron beams and three of the four enemy beams scorched their way across the Invictus' shields.

"Shields down to 40%!" Sparks shouted in alarm.

"I know, I know!" Alyssa exclaimed, her calm countenance finally shaken.

John had been watching the active scans as the Kirrix opened fire on them and he spotted something interesting.

"There was a power surge when they fired on us!" he said hopefully.

"Calara, target that rounded section near the rear of the ship on the port side" he ordered the brunette.

"I see it Commander!" the Latina said excitedly as Alyssa brought the Invictus back in a tight loop so they were pointing directly at the alien ship.

Calara pulled the trigger and the six beam lasers sheared the entire bulbous section from the side of the hive ship. The ship's hull was left with a glowing wound, where the beams had gouged deep furrows through the craft and when the bulbous section exploded a few seconds later, the port side was peppered with debris. The Kirrix craft seemed to shudder and half the ship went dark, all lighting on the port side extinguished in an instant.

"Nice shooting lieutenant!" John said, impressed by her incredible pinpoint accuracy.

"No problem Commander" she said, grinning at him.

"Now take out the last of those engines" he said, to which the brunette nodded her agreement.

Alyssa had brought the Invictus back around and their ship was now positioned directly under the Kirrix's underbelly again. The loss of the port power distributor had badly affected the hive ship's ability to make rapid directional changes, so it was now easy for her to stay directly beneath them and she grinned confidently. Calara renewed her assault on the enemy engines, scoring numerous hits with the laser cannons.

"John something just launched from the ship!" Sparks said in alarm.

John narrowed his eyes as he looked at the small shapes on the system map. "Dropships!" he said with alarm, "Calara take them out!"

Calara flipped over to the defence grid and the Gatling lasers span up as they targeted the incoming dropships. Ribbons of laser fire arced out, lighting up the Kirrix dropships with strobing flashes of light as they were hit by multiple streams of laser bolts. The shields on the first dropship collapsed and the laser fire punched through the cockpit, sending the small craft spiralling out of control. The second was hit multiple times and dropping the shields, but the armour proved resilient and the dropship was able to weather the storm of laser bolts. It moved around to the flank of the Invictus and began to close in to begin a boarding action.

"Sparks, can you fly the Invictus?" John asked bluntly.

"Nowhere near like Alyssa, but I can keep us out of trouble" she replied apprehensively.

"Good, take control" he ordered brusquely as he lurched to his feet. "XO we need to repel boarders!" he said urgently.

Alyssa nodded and the two of them dashed for the elevator.

"You've got about 30 seconds until they dock John!" Calara warned him.

John nodded his understanding as the doors closed and they disappeared from view. The elevator only took five seconds to drop to deck 2 and for the doors to open, but when every second counted it felt like a lifetime. The two of them raced to their quarters and grabbed their rifles. 

"We need armour piercing not hollow point!" John said to his young companion, as he grabbed a two magazines of the correct type of caseless ammo. 

Alyssa nodded her understanding and grabbed a couple of mags of armour piercing rounds and the two of them sprinted back to the elevator. John hit the button for the bottom deck and they used the 10 seconds it took for the lift to descend, to slam their magazines home into the bullpup ammo slot and check the weapon sighting.

"Kirrix have armoured carapaces" John explained. "We need the armour piercing rounds to punch through that, but we can't afford any stray rounds going through the hull, so be very careful!".

"No problem" Alyssa replied steadfastly.

The elevator door opened and they were looking down the corridor towards the airlock. 

"Let's move!" John said and the two of them dashed up the hallway to the airlock door and hugged the walls on either side of the reinforced portal. 

They could hear heavy clunking on the other side of the airlock as the insectoid soldiers attempted to bash their way through the armoured door. The two of them shared a glance and Alyssa nodded her readiness as John placed his hand on the DNA reader. The green light flickered across and scanned his DNA, beeping softly in recognition. 

The airlock door spiralled open and a six legged creature that was attempting to bash through the door with heavy scythe like claws, lumbered forward and sprawled on the floor. If insectoid faces could show surprise, this one would have been utterly astonished. Alyssa whirled and followed its motion as it fell forward to the floor, before firing a burst into its armoured head at point blank range. Green ichor spurted outwards from the wound, as the rounds bored through its brain.

John swung into the now open doorway and began to fire bursts into the tightly packed insectoid soldiers. It was like shooting fish in a barrel and the interior of the Kirrix dropship echoed with high pitched death squeals, as viscous green fluid gouted out from fatal wounds. One of the Kirrix managed to fire his rifle in return, but the sickly green blast went wide of the mark as John ducked for cover. Alyssa swung out and shot the insectoid soldier in the head, her armour piercing rounds punching into the Kirrix soldier's compound eye and through its brain, before bouncing off the armour plating at the back of its skull and sending the rounds back through the skull a second time. Utterly dead, the hulking insect crashed to the floor in a heap of chitinous limbs.

The Kirrix dropship pilot had been intending to join the boarding party, but it frantically tried to return to the cockpit when the accursed humans massacred it's podmates. The last thing it felt was a sharp pain to the back of its skull as Alyssa shot it in the head, spraying the cockpit in green blood.

A few of the insectoid soldiers twitched feebly, badly wounded but not quite dead, until John executed each of them with a single round to the head.

"That'll teach you to try and board a marine's ship!" he muttered indignantly.

"What do we do about this dropship?" Alyssa asked him pointedly. "We can't jump into hyper warp with it attached". 

"Shut the airlock and disengage the docking clamps I guess?" John said, wondering why she was asking.

Alyssa was glancing over the controls "This looks pretty straightforward to fly, I could land it in the hanger bay if you like?"

"Sure, if you want" John replied. "At the very least Sparks will be able to take a look at some alien tech" he said smiling.

"Ok let's do this" Alyssa said confidently. "You go back to the Invictus and seal the airlock, then open the hull doors to the hanger bay, I'll bring the dropship around".

"Yes ma'am!" John grinned and moved to follow her instructions.

Alyssa stepped over the mangled Kirrix pilot she had gunned down earlier and wiped his brain matter from the control surface. She pushed a couple of buttons that sealed the dropship's airlock and fired up the engines. Taking hold of the flight stick, she found she could operate it ok, even though it was designed for an arthropod forelimb and she gently eased the dropship away from the docking collar on the Invictus' airlock. She then rotated the ship cleanly so that it was facing the hanger bay and waited for the doors in the outer hull of the Invictus to open. She nudged the Kirrix dropship in cautiously, the alien craft enveloped in the pressurised force field sealing the hanger bay, before landing it gingerly in the middle of the cavernous room as the hull doors swung closed. She opened the airlock and then powered the small ship down, before leaving to go and meet up with John.

"Nice flying honey" he said, moving forward to give her a kiss. He was surprised when she raised a hand to stop him.

"You're covered in green goo!" she said grinning and pointed at the alien blood that had splashed over his face. "You need a shower first, then you can kiss me as much as you like" she said playfully. 

"Ok I'll take you up on that!" he grinned "First, let's see what's happening on the bridge".

They rode up in the elevator and stepped out on to the bridge a few moments later.

"How are you two doing?" John asked, "everything ok up here?"

"All engines on the Kirrix hive ship destroyed Commander!" Calara told him proudly.

"Nice work Calara!" John grinned at her "So, they are totally immobilised?"

"They aren't going anywhere!" she said excitedly. "We're safe now too, we're out of their fire arcs"

"I'm recharging shields again John, we're back up to 62% now!" Sparks chimed in.

"Great job, the pair of you" John praised them sincerely.

"What happened with the boarding party and why is your face covered in green goop?" Sparks asked him.

"They were no match for our surprise Counter-attack!" Alyssa said grinning. "They messed with the wrong marine, right John?"

John chuckled good naturedly. "Yeah, I'm wearing Kirrix at the moment" he said, wiping his face for emphasis.

"I'm afraid we're not done yet though honey, we're going to have to go in and save those captives" John said blowing out a sigh.

"Well we slaughtered that last bunch, this should be a breeze!" Alyssa grinned.

"We had all the odds stacked in our favour, those bugs had no chance" John said solemnly. "If we board their ship, we're going to be heavily outnumbered and we won't have the advantage of surprise. It's going to be really nasty" he said grimly.

"We have to do something though John" Calara interjected, "We can't leave the prisoners to die like that. You've seen the vids right?"

John nodded, his face showing his distaste.

"What vids?" Sparks asked curiously.

"It's part of the Terran Federation Academy, Xeno familiarisation training" The Latina explained. "The last time we stopped a Kirrix incursion, they took videos of what they found on board their ships..." She paused, recalling the horrific images. "No-one should die like that" she continued looking sickened.

"Maybe we could still have the element of surprise" Alyssa said, tapping her finger against her chin thoughtfully.

"How so?" John asked, curious as to what his devious Executive Office might have thought up now.

"The dropship" Alyssa said, smiling at him. "The Kirrix won't know we've captured it and we can just fly back, dock with them and then sneak on board"

"Oh that's very good" John grinned slyly.

"Do you want either of us to come with you?" Sparks asked hesitantly.

"No, I need you two here on the bridge to cover our butts!" John grinned. 

John wasn't being completely truthful however, as neither the redhead or the brunette had much firearms training and he didn't want to expose them to unnecessary danger. Not only that but Alyssa worked with him like an extension of his own will, they synergised so well together and her shooting skills probably surpassed his own, he admitted to himself honestly. He glanced over at the stunningly beautiful blonde who was ever present at his side.

Alyssa gave him a tight smile, nodding slightly to show she agreed wholeheartedly with his decision.

"Ok John, you can count on us!" Sparks said, somewhat relieved. She never liked bugs much and the thought of facing eight foot tall, heavily armoured homicidal ones left her quaking in her boots.

"I'll contact you if the situation changes up here" Calara said dutifully.

"Ok good luck you two, we'll be back soon" John said, and he and Alyssa took the elevator down to their quarters.




Three Square Meals Ch. 15



John washed the sticky green blood off his face, then went to join Alyssa to get geared up. They put on their combat armour and collected several more clips of armour piercing rounds, which they attached to their utility harnesses. John also collected a few of the grenades he had picked up from the Griffon that he hadn't used yet. He had just finished attaching the last of them securely to his harness, when Alyssa leaned in and gave him a big kiss.

"I owed you that one from earlier!" She grinned up at him mischievously.

John laughed happily.

"Look at me laughing" he grinned "You'd never think we were about to storm a Kirrix hive ship!" he said incredulously.

"Come on you" he said to the stunningly beautiful young woman, shaking his head in amazement.

They headed down to the hanger bay and approached the parked dropship. It was a yellow-brown colour with a number of bulky pods at the back and sides and with a bulbous armoured cockpit at the front. It looked like some kind of sickly insect to Alyssa and she decided she was definitely not a fan of the Kirrix style of ship design.

"We better haul out those dead bugs" John said regretfully. "We don't want to risk tripping on body parts if we have to make a fast exit".

Alyssa nodded ruefully and they put aside their rifles so that they could haul out the Insectoid corpses. The Kirrix were big, bulky and very scary looking, with their six limbs, segmented bodies and frightening compound eyes over sharp mandibles. Fortunately though, their chitinous frames were deceptively light and the two of them were able to quickly remove all ten of the dead soldiers and stack them in a pile. The decapitated pilot was the cherry on top of an invertebrate cake.

They left the Kirrix weapons stacked neatly to the side, an odd array of bizarre looking pistols and rifles.

"What type of weapons are those?" Alyssa asked curiously.

"The small ones are Neutron blasters, the long ones with the side mounted grip is a Neutron rifle" he explained. "They are nasty weapons and hurt like hell if you get hit by one". 

"Ok I'll give that a miss then" Alyssa said impishly.

John smiled, rolling his eyes at her and the two of them collected their rifles before boarding the dropship. Alyssa sat in the pilot's seat and fired up the engines, while John used a device on his armoured vambrace to open up the hanger bay doors remotely. The ship rose smoothly under Alyssa's skilful control and they glided out of the hanger bay as though she had been flying Kirrix craft all her life. She banked and pulled up so that she was heading towards the hive ship.

"Any idea where their hanger is?" She asked John curiously.

"There in the middle, aim for those big slots in the side" He replied.

The dropship rose and headed towards the much bigger alien vessel like a bee returning to its hive. They received no incoming fire from defence grid type weaponry, so John figured that the Kirrix must have fallen for Alyssa's cunning ruse. They were hailed as they approached, but they decided it was probably best to let that one go unanswered.

They entered the hanger slot for the hive ship unchallenged and Alyssa carefully glided into the big open hanger bay without causing suspicion. The hive ship was brightly lit by glowing hexagonal walls that surrounded the entire bay, all throbbing with a strange pulsating luminescence. The hexagonal panels directly in front of them, which were on the port side of the ship were all dimmed. Figures swarmed over another dropship, probably ground crew John guessed, as a squad of ten more Insectoid shock troops marched down from an overhead ramp to get ready to board their transport.

Alyssa gently rotated their dropship, as they came forward on their final approach to an unoccupied landing pad. As the marching soldiers swung into view, Alyssa pulled the trigger on the odd shaped Joystick and twin streams of sickly green energy bolts blasted out and scythed through the lined up soldiers. The Kirrix trooper's chitinous bodies exploded as they were hit by the powerful energy pulses, causing limbs, antenna and pieces of armoured exoskeleton to be blasted about the Hanger bay as the troopers were struck by the neutron bolts. The Insectoid forces were caught completely by surprise and by the time the survivors tried to react, they were picked off by a second deadly volley of accurate shots.

"Oops!" Alyssa exclaimed, holding her hand over her open mouth in mock surprise.

"What happened to stealthy?" John grinned wryly.

"Sorry John I'm still learning the ship, accidents will happen!" The mischievous blonde informed him.

She continued her sweeping turn until she faced the ground crew, who were desperately trying to get the other dropship operational. Alyssa pulled the trigger again and the Heavy Neutron guns on her hijacked craft opened up, blowing apart their segmented arthropod bodies and devastating the landed dropship. The repeated neutron impacts knocked it on its side and the yellow-brown hull of the ship began to smoulder in several places.

"Very nice..." John said, surveying the carnage. One of the wounded Kirrix troopers was dragging itself off the bloodbath on the gantry, but none were still standing.

Alyssa carefully set their dropship down on the centre of the landing pad and then pushed a button that caused the airlock to slide apart. 

"Ok let's move out" John said and led the way out of the back of the ship. He glanced around the glowing hexagonal tiled room and noted three ways to leave the hanger. Up the gantry and then through doors at the top of an overhead walkway, or through ornate arches at either end of the hanger. He stopped for a moment to get his bearings.

"Which way?" Alyssa asked, before bringing her rifle to her shoulder and firing a burst into the chest of the wounded shock trooper who was attempting to stand up. The insectoid fell to the floor, its chitinous limbs thrashing wildly before it finally lay still.

"All the human life readings were that way" John said pointing to the archway closest to them, as he readied his rifle and led them out of the room.

They entered a wide corridor that continued the odd hexagonal tiling in the hanger bay. Each tile pulsed with light and the lighting in the hall throbbed, as though in time with the hive ship's pulse. They passed sealed doorways occasionally, but there were no sounds coming from within the adjoining rooms, so John led them on quickly, hoping to maintain the element of surprise. The corridor ended in a set of ornate double doors, so they darted up to them, getting ready to storm through. John listened intently, but all he could hear was an odd chirruping noise, so he cautiously eased the door open while Alyssa covered him with her rifle.

The big door swung open smoothly and the disconcerting chirruping noise became more intense. It seemed to fluctuate, getting alternately louder then softer and sounding utterly alien and extremely creepy. Now that the door was open, they could see that they were looking in on a hexagonal shaped room. There was a curving ramp that led both upwards and downwards and the strange chirruping noise seemed to be coming from the lower depths of the ship.

*The life readings all came from the lower decks, so I guess we go down* John thought to Alyssa, allowing them to maintain their silence.

She nodded her agreement and followed as he began to lead them down the curving walkway, spiralling downwards a good three or four full rotations around the central axis before they finally reached the bottom. The ramp opened out into a big room, big double doors at the end with smaller entrances on the flanking walls, the entire right hand side darkened after the loss of power. 

An upraised curved dais sat in the middle of the room, with a bulky six limbed Kirrix operating hexagonal buttons on the odd looking console. Before they could react, John's communicator watch flashed with an incoming call. Unfortunately the Kirrix noticed the flash of light and looked up, spotting them. It pushed some kind of button in front of it and the hexagonal tiled walls started to glow red instead of white, plunging the room into crimson shaded gloom. A strange squawking noise sounded shrilly and reverberated around the chamber, echoing ominously.

John raised his rifle and fired a burst, but the insectoid moved with a speed that belied its size and it leapt for cover. It ducked behind the dais and began to take potshots at them with a Neutron blaster. Feeling exposed in the middle of the room, John sprinted forward, whilst Alyssa dropped to a crouch. Seeing the charging human, the Kirrix reared up to take a shot at him, only for its head to be ripped apart by armour piercing rounds as Alyssa opened fire.

The scratchy sounds of many clawed feet began to make their way into the room, coming from both side doors. Alyssa and John jumped up onto the dais and ducked behind the long, oddly shaped console that surrounded the upraised platform and stayed down low, staying out of line of sight as two squads of Insectoid soldiers appeared from each hallway. There were six Kirrix soldiers per squad, each group led by a hulking Overseer Insect. John furtively passed one of his grenades to Alyssa, taking another for himself and began a mental countdown.

*3*

*2*

*1*

*Go!*

The two of them lobbed their grenades in nice gentle arcs, so that they landed right at the segmented legs of the alert bug troopers. John and Alyssa ducked down, hugging the console wall and covered their ears in preparation for the upcoming explosions. Neutron weapon fire zapped overhead for a second before two tremendous detonations blasted through the room, still sounding deafening to them even though their ears were muffled. Cautiously they raised themselves up and glanced over at the two groups of soldiers in the aftermath of their grenade strike. 

Each Kirrix patrol had been ripped apart by the grenades. The doorways were blackened, scorched ruins, with billowing black smoke pouring out of the incinerated tiling and a few more shattered tiles sheared off the wall to clang to the floor. The Kirrix forces had been annihilated by the powerful explosives, chitinous appendages were scattered all over the floor and viscous green liquid dripped from where it had been sprayed all over the walls. Miraculously, one of the bulky Overseer bugs was still moving, even though it had lost two of its leg limbs. It screeched a piercing squeal of rage as it tried to level its neutron rifle in their direction and John and Alyssa both opened up on it, sending round after round into its armoured body. It took an alarmingly high number of bullets to finally stop it twitching, the tough Insectoid able to take a surprising amount of punishment.

They reloaded their assault rifles and prepared to move out again, neither seeing nor hearing any further signs of reinforcements. John's watch communicator flashed again, forgotten in the excitement of the combat.

"Yes Lieutenant, what's the problem?" John said, fighting hard to keep any irritation out of his voice. The brunette had no way of knowing how much danger she had accidentally just put them in.

We've got company!" The holographic image of Calara's face said, grinning excitedly.

"What, more pirates?" John asked, wondering why Calara would be happy about that.

"No, it's a friendly! Its Captain Flintlock and the Indomitable" she said happily.

"Can you put me through to him please?" John asked, unable to directly contact the other ship from his watch. 

Calara nodded eagerly and her image disappeared from view, to be replaced by the frowning face of Captain Flintlock.

"Command Blake! What's going on here? My tactical officer tells me that's a Kirrix hive ship!" he said, shock clearly showing on his older features.

"The pirates were selling slaves to the Kirrix and we're on board now, trying to rescue the human captives" John explained quickly.

"Do you need reinforcements?" the Captain asked grimly. 

"Yes please, liaise with my Tactical Officer and she'll apprise you of the current situation" John said.

"John, we've got company!" Alyssa said, as the sounds of more clawed feet came from the ramp behind them.

"Got to go Captain!" John said and closed the call, as Captain Flintlock saluted him goodbye.

They dodged behind the oddly shaped console, being careful not to trip over the insectoid operator they had gunned down minutes before. Another squad of Kirrix troopers marched down the ramp, followed from behind by a looming Overseer. As soon as John and Alyssa could see the segmented feet of the insectoid forces, they opened fire, armour piercing rounds scything through the legs of the alien troops that couldn't actually see what was firing at them, coming down the ramp as they were. 

The first few Kirrix had their legs shot out from under them and slid unceremoniously down the ramp, taking hits to their torso's as John strafed fire over them. The remaining two soldiers and the overseer rushed down the ramp and into the room, heads tilted sideways so that they could see what was attacking them. One of the bugs was shot in the face by Alyssa and it collapsed in a heap, killed instantly. The other began to return fire causing her to duck behind cover as accurate neutron blasts began to impact the console where her head had been. John popped up from the other side and fired the last few rounds of his magazine into the chest of the angry insect, causing it to slump over to its side with a inhuman shriek. 

Alyssa slammed in another clip and then popped out, preparing to fire at the Overseer, but her timing was unlucky and a shot from its neutron rifle glanced off her right shoulder. The young blonde woman was knocked backwards and she dropped to the floor and screamed with pain. 

John glanced at her in panic, but was relieved to see she that she wasn't too badly hit. He had reloaded himself and flipped the selector switch to full auto, targeting the ugly overseer's underbelly in his sights and then holding down the trigger. The muzzle climb from firing so many rounds walked his shots up from segmented belly to chitinous head and John emptied his entire magazine into the bug that had dared to wound his woman. The Overseer slumped over, its ruined body gouting green ichor all over the floor as its perforated torso sprayed blood around the room. Satisfied that he had killed it, John leaned down at Alyssa's side to check to see if she was ok.

"How bad is it Alyssa?" he asked, his voice tinged with worry.

She looked up at him bravely and removed her hand from her shoulder. 

"Not too bad, the shot punched through my armour and grazed my arm, but it hurts like hell!" she said grimacing.

John nodded his understanding and helped her to her feet. 

"Are you able to continue?" he asked with concern.

"Yeah, that amount of pain was just a shock" She said stoically. "Let's keep going"

John reloaded his rifle and they moved forward cautiously to approach the big doors at the back of the room. He pressed the hexagonal button on the side and the solid doors ground open slowly, the strange chirruping sound getting much louder as the portal parted.

"What's making that noise?" Alyssa grimaced in annoyance, wincing at the loud, irritating sound.

"Them" John said, as the door opened in front of them. 

The room this door opened out into had hundreds of hexagonal alcoves set into the wall on either side, the ones on the right cast in shadow. They could see strange writhing shapes in each of the alcoves, Kirrix grubs, all of which were adding to the horrible chirping cacophony as automated chitinous arms dropped pieces of flesh into their waiting maws.

Movement in the centre of the room snapped them both out of their revulsion at the scene in front of them and an enormous multi limbed horror turned to face them.

"What the fuck is that?!" Alyssa gasped in alarm, at the twelve limbed fourteen foot tall monstrosity that lurked in the middle of the chamber.

"It's a Kirrix Broodmother!" John said forebodingly. 

"Aim for its eyes!" he yelled as he dropped into a crouch.

Copying him, Alyssa dropped to one knee and she sighted the two sets of compound eyes on its large, bulbous, yellowy brown head. The pair of them opened fire and the Broodmother reared back in pain as round after round slammed into its sensitive eyes. The insectoid beast brought two sets of armoured foreclaws up to protect its face and their shots began to ricochet off the tough armour plating.

The massive creature stood up on its six legs and began to lumber towards them relentlessly. 

"What now?" Alyssa cried out in alarm.

"Aim for joints, any place where the armour is weaker!" John said curtly.

The two of them began to walk fire over the Kirrix abomination, shooting at knees, elbows, feet and hands. One of Alyssa's shots blow out a knee, spurting green blood over the walls and John's shot took out a foot on the other side, causing the Broodmother to skid in the slippery green ichor. It still kept coming though, screeching in fury.

They both emptied out their magazines, incapacitating two more legs, forcing the Broodmother to crawl forward using two of its foreclaws for support.

"Now!" John shouted "Go for the eyes!" as he slammed another magazine home into his rifle.

The two of them stood up and backed away slowly as they sprayed bullets into the face of the Broodmother. With only two foreclaws to protect its head, rounds began to strike home, hitting it in the eyes and even shooting off a quivering antenna. It finally got within striking range and lashed out with a six foot long scythed claw, forcing John to leap to the side to avoid being eviscerated by the razor sharp chitin blade. Unfortunately for the Broodmother, this left its head completely exposed and Alyssa fired the entire clip into its face.

Shuddering, the hulking beast slumped to its side, letting out a croaking inhuman death rattle.

John looked up at Alyssa from where he had dived across the floor and he grinned at her victoriously. She returned the grin as she reloaded her weapon.

"Only one clip left John" She warned him.

"Yeah me too" he said with concern.

They gingerly stepped around the bullet ridden corpse of the Broodmother and headed into the big chamber in front of them. They walked past row after row of Kirrix grubs, not wanting to know what provided the flesh the hideous creatures were devouring. They finally reached the back of the chamber and a corridor led away from the room and up to another set of doors. John and Alyssa jogged up to the doors and then cautiously opened them, wondering what might lay in wait in the next room. 

As they opened the door, they were met with the sound of a horrible wailing human scream. They glanced at each other nervously and then moved through the door into the next chamber. This huge room was stacked floor to ceiling along the sides with chitinous cages, terrified human prisoners locked within. They overlooked a scene of nightmares in front of them.

Three naked human prisoners were restrained on a round platform in the centre of the room. The first, a man, was slumped over unconscious with drool falling from his mouth and his bloated stomach pulsing as rounded shapes writhed within his abdomen. The second was a woman, who was screaming in fear and looking on in horror at her shipmate.

The third figure was another woman, her body obscured by the hulking insectoid form that hovered above her. It was over ten feet tall and had six limbs, four of which were holding its body up above her and the last set holding the woman it had mounted in place below it. A large bulbous segment grew out of its lower body which ended with an ovipositor, that was shoved deep inside the prostrate figure below. The woman was crying and groaning in horrified revulsion as small spheres passed down through the pulsating transparent section at the back of the creature and were pushed inside her tightly packed ass, her midsection bloating obscenely to accommodate the Kirrix eggs.




Three Square Meals Ch. 15



"Holy fuck!" Alyssa gasped in shock at the sickening sight.

"It's the Hivelord!" John said grimly, "Aim for the back, its unarmoured there!"

The two of them dropped to one knee and began to open fire on the grotesque abomination, rounds punching straight through the Hivelords unarmoured abdomen and spraying green blood out the side of the creature. The Hivelord screeched in fury and pulled its ovipositor out of its victim with a sickening plop. It turned towards them, its mouth opened wide to bellow it's rage, only for Alyssa to blast the creature right between the jaws, her armour piercing rounds shooting through its mouth and punching into the nerve clusters at the back that led up to its brain. The Hivelord staggered to one side, crippled by the deadly shots and crashed to the floor in a tangle of twitching chitinous limbs.

"That was a hell of a shot!" John congratulated the young woman, amazed at her uncanny accuracy.

She grinned at him and tipped an imaginary hat, making him chuckle. They stood and cautiously walked into the room, looking for any more hostile aliens, but finding that they were now alone with the captured humans.

Pleas for help and desperate cries to be released began to echo around the chamber, as the terrified prisoners realised that against all odds, they had been saved by these two unknown heroes.

"We'll get you out, don't worry" Alyssa called out in a loud voice.

John found a nearby console that operated the cages and began to open the chitin doors one by one. The prisoners within began to climb down the ladders that led up to each cage, in a desperate hurry to leave this horrible place. A small group of people went to help the abused victims on the central platform and after five minutes all the prisoners had congregated fearfully in front of John and Alyssa. 

"Now follow behind us" John ordered them, "We'll lead you out".

They began to trace their way back up to the hangar, passing through the deafening wall of sound in the Kirrix nest and then up the ramps that led to the upper decks. As they reached the long corridor that would eventually lead them to the hangar, John's sensitive ears began to hear the distant sound of gunfire coming from ahead of them. Recognising the sound of Terran Federation assault rifles, he led Alyssa at a hurried pace to see what was happening in the Hangar. 

John walked through the ornate archway that led into the huge hangar to see that they had stumbled into the aftermath of a pitched battle. Parked in the middle of the hangar was a bulky Terran transport and a heavily armed gunship hovered nearby, facing the other side of the Hangar. Armoured Terran troopers had fanned out in a line and were gunning down the remnants of a Kirrix force that had tried to storm their landing site. The hexagonal tiled wall opposite was a mosaic of green blood and ichor, the corpses of bullet ridden Kirrix soldiers slumped where they had fallen prey to the accurate fire from the marines. It had not all gone the humans way however and over a dozen Terran troopers either lay dead, or writhing in agony from Neutron weapon hits.

An armoured soldier was standing next to the transport, issuing curt commands to a couple of attentive officers. One of the officers saw John and Alyssa and pointed them out to the figure, who whirled around to face them. The stern faced man strode up to them purposefully, the eagle insignia on his shoulder pad informing John that this was the leader of the Marine troopers. 

"Commander Paul Richards TFMC" the grizzled veteran informed John as he reached the doorway and saluted respectfully.

"Commander John Blake, TFMC - retired" John said in reply, smiling as he returned the salute.

"Not much of a retirement John" the marine commander said, smiling grimly. 

"I don't know, it has its perks" John replied grinning, as he glanced at Alyssa.

"You've done a hell of a thing stopping these Kirrix. We saw your handiwork in the hangar when we landed" Paul said, clearly impressed. "Where's the rest of your team? Not too many losses I hope?" he asked soberly.

"It was just us two" John replied nonchalantly. "We've taken out the hive guard, the Broodmother and the Hivelord and there's several hundred freed captives in need of an evac, if you can help us out?".

"You're kidding right?" Paul said, looking in disbelief at John and the teenage girl at his side and then over their shoulder at the huddled throng of humanity massed behind them.

John shook his head, and smiled at Alyssa with pride.

"Well god damn!" Paul exclaimed, before he burst out laughing, his face lighting up in a big grin.

"What I could do with a few squads of troopers like you two!" he said wistfully.

John smiled graciously. "We're in a hurry to chase the Pirate leader who sold all these people to the Kirrix" John explained "Can we leave you to mop up here and look after these prisoners?" he asked politely.

Paul looked at him in stunned amazement.

"Are you off to fight the war with the Kintark single handed as well?" Paul said, bursting into another round of booming laughter. 

"We'll take care of things here" the Marine Commander grinned, once he had stopped laughing. "I'm just glad you're on my side!"

The two men shook hands firmly and John led Alyssa back to their captured Kirrix dropship. They climbed on board and the young blonde fired up the ship's engines and sealed the airlock, before taking off and gently pirouetting the dropship around to face the hangar exit. She powered up the engines and they left the Kirrix hive ship behind them. 

John used the communicator as they left the hive ship, calling Calara to let them know they were safe. The gorgeous brunette's concerned face filled the holo-image.

"Oh thank goodness!" She exclaimed "Are you two ok?" She asked worriedly.

"We're fine and we rescued the prisoners!" John replied happily.

"Thank god for that!" Calara replied, sighing with relief.

"We'll be there soon" John said fondly. "You did a hell of a thing today Lieutenant"

Calara looked back at him and smiled proudly.

"See you both soon" she said and blew him a kiss.

Alyssa brought the dropship around to the side of the Invictus and then eased it into the Hangar bay as soon as John had opened the hull doors. They disembarked, eager to leave Kirrix technology and the blood soaked ship behind them. As they left the hangar, they passed a couple of cleaning robots who had stopped at the pile of Kirrix corpses, paused as if unsure how to proceed. The automatons eagerly began to clean up their bloody green footprints however, soaked as their boots were in Insectoid gore. Having pity on the cleaning robots, John and Alyssa left their bloodied armour in a pile in the Hangar bay to collect and clean later, rather than tracking blood all over the spotlessly clean ship. 

John looked at the ammo counter on his Assault rifle as he placed it carefully by the armour, the digital readout showed him he had fifteen rounds left. Alyssa smiled at him wryly, and showed him her own rifle which cheerily displayed that she had nine remaining bullets. 

"Thank goodness for Commander Richards" John said, shaking his head at how close they came to disaster.

They took the elevator up to the bridge and the door swished open quietly. Calara and Sparks rose out of their chairs and dashed up to meet John and Alyssa and hugged them both with relief. 

Before they could get to congratulating each other on their extraordinary victory, the Communicator began to flash and chime, indicating they had an incoming call. John darted up the illuminated steps to the command podium and pressed the button to answer the hail.

Captain Flintlock's face filled the vid-screen in the bridge.

"Commander Blake!" He said happily "I've just spoken to my Marine Commander and he told me quite a tale" the older naval captain said, smiling in amazement.

"I've never known Commander Richards to exaggerate, but he tells me you took out the Hivelord, the Broodmother and scores of Kirrix troops, whilst managing to rescue over 400 captives?" the naval Captain said incredulously.

"Not only that" Captain Flintlock continued, "my crew tell me you destroyed 13 pirate vessels before taking on and disabling the Kirrix Hive ship?"

"Yes, that about sums it up" John replied. "It's been a busy day!" he said with a mastery of understatement.

Captain Flintlock laughed out loud. "I'd say it has Commander!" he said in wonder.

"Thanks for sending in the reinforcements" John said appreciatively "How did you get here so quickly though? I thought you were going to wait and repair the Calypso?" he asked, puzzled.

"I received orders from Vice-Admiral Harris to get to the Chendar system immediately" the Captain explained. "I left the rest of the patrol behind to assist the Calypso and we headed here as fast as we could".

"Well we hate to leave you to clean up after us, but we want to finish off the last of the pirates" John said apologetically.

"It's my pleasure Commander" Captain Flintlock said as he saluted. "You and your crew should be very proud, you saved a lot of lives today"

John nodded appreciatively and returned the salute and the Captain ended the call.

"Alyssa can you lay in a pursuit course for the Pirates please" John requested.

"No problem" the beautiful blonde teenager responded as she turned the ship around and they powered away from the gas giant. As soon as they had cleared the gravity well, the Invictus leapt into Hyper warp.

"Fourteen hours until we're in range to use the Interdictor" Sparks said, calculating the pursuit time based on Alyssa's flight path.

They all breathed a huge sigh of relief and slumped collectively in their chairs, the tension draining from them as the adrenalin wore off.

"I can't believe we managed to do it" Calara said in a quiet voice.

"I've never seen shooting like that before, you handled the Invictus' weapons like they were part of you!" John exclaimed in amazement to the brunette.

"and if it wasn't for you" John said to Sparks "we would never have been able to catch the Kirrix in time, or be able to chase after the pirates!" John said astounded.

"What about Alyssa's flying!" said Sparks. "How she managed to get this huge ship to dance around like that I've no idea!"

"You should have seen her on board the Kirrix ship" John said proudly. "She was like a Valkyrie descended from Valhalla!" he said enthusiastically.

"I'm not sure what that is, but I'll take it as a compliment" Alyssa grinned at him broadly.

"You should, you were amazing today honey." John said before turning to face all three girls. 

"You all were. Several hundred people will live solely because of your actions" he said emphatically.

The teenagers sat there in stunned silence as the enormity of the day's events began to sink in. John let them sit quietly for a few moments to let them truly appreciate how much good they had accomplished in such a short time.

"Come on" he said gently. "let's all get cleaned up and I'll cook us a celebratory meal"

The girls nodded at him willingly, feeling slightly overawed by what they had managed to achieve today. They rose and joined him at the elevator and they took the lift down together in comfortable silence. Walking in pairs hand in hand, the crew of the Invictus stripped off in the Commander's quarters and went into the bathroom. John activated multiple shower heads in the huge cubicle to cover everyone in warm, soothing streams of water and they all got in. The girls washed him and each other, just enjoying feeling the touch of each other's toned bodies and revelling in being alive against all the odds. 

They took a look at Alyssa's wounded shoulder, but the injury didn't seem too bad. John rubbed the blonde's toned slim tummy gently and she looked up at him, noting his concerned expression and nodded. 

"Later" she said, smiling lovingly "you promised Sparks an important date first" she said, looking at him and the redhead affectionately.

John leaned down to kiss the lovely redhead, enjoying the feel of her full warm breasts against him.

"I'm ready" she said, looking up at him with love in her eyes.

Calara and Alyssa glanced at each other and smiled happily.

"Come on John, let's set the scene in the bedroom" Calara said eagerly. "A girl's first time should be special!"

Alyssa bit down on her lip and her heart felt heavy, suddenly feeling saddened at her own awful first experience with a man. She suppressed the feeling immediately, not wanting her friend to see her reaction and risk spoiling the occasion.

"You wait here" Alyssa said to Sparks, "we want it to be a nice surprise!" She beamed a warm affectionate smile at her oldest friend.

Sparks smiled and nodded, feeling her excitement begin to grow and butterflies did somersaults in her stomach.

John, Alyssa and Calara left the redhead to enjoy the warm water of the shower and they dried themselves off quickly to go and set up the room. John dimmed the lights, so that the room was bathed in a romantic glow and then Alyssa darted off to retrieve some candles from the playroom. She returned and lit them up around the room, the dancing candlelight adding a certain mystique to the romantic setting. Calara returned from her room cupping something red in her hands, which turned out to be rose petals. She carefully scattered them around the bed, adding the finishing touch to the room with a flourish.

"Where on earth did you get those from?" Alyssa whispered, astonished.

Calara flushed, looking a bit embarrassed. "They were from a rose I was given from the first boy I thought I loved" she said, smiling at John and Alyssa. "It turned out I had no idea what love really was" she continued.

John and Alyssa wrapped the beautiful brunette in a loving embrace, touched by her heartfelt words.

"Alyssa!!" Sparks' frightened shriek pierced the tender moment with shocking abruptness.

All three of them leapt to go to the bathroom, before Alyssa held the other two back with her upraised hand. They waited in the bedroom pensively, worried for their young friend.

"What is it honey?" Alyssa said, her voice maternal and caring.

"My face, it's bleeding!" Sparks exclaimed in shock, opening her hands to show reddened lumps cupped between her fingers. 

"Let me see" Alyssa said, darting into the shower quickly and looking at her friends face with deep concern. 

Alyssa gently brushed her fingers over the redheads face, noticing with surprise that the horrifically scarred, red angry skin covering the side of Sparks' face seemed to shift slightly at her delicate touch.

"There, there, it's nothing to worry about" she crooned softly to her oldest friend, her fingers moving deftly as she carefully peeled away a section of partially hanging skin. 

"You're ok now, just let me check you over" she whispered reassuringly to the frightened teenager.

Alyssa's sombre mood from before and her worry about her friend evaporated in an instant, as she struggled to contain her delirious excitement. 

I was right! she exulted.

Under the disfiguring scar tissue that she was tentatively removing, supple fresh young skin was gradually revealed. Her agile fingers moved swift and sure over her friends face, carefully peeling away the hideous old skin and revealing the healthy, rejuvenated skin beneath. 

"Just close your eyes a moment" she whispered to her friend "This won't take long"

Sparks closed her eyes immediately, her trust and faith in the blonde girl absolute.

"Is it bad?" She asked, her voice tremulous. 

"You're going to be just fine, trust me" Alyssa said, confidently.

Alyssa's elegant fingers danced over the frightened young girls arm and shoulder, removing scarred old tissue and uncovering acres of tanned unblemished flesh. Her quick, nimble hands had the girl completely cleaned in just under a minute and she then washed the scaly red remnants away and down the drain.

"Ok come with me, but keep your eyes closed" Alyssa said in a voice that was soothing, but brooked no argument. 

The redhead followed obediently and Alyssa towelled her dry, using the hand held moisture extractor to blow dry Sparks' long hair in a few moments.

"Ok take my hand and follow me" Alyssa said to the young woman and guided her watchfully in to the bedroom.

John and Calara gasped in shock, which caused Alyssa to throw a frown in their direction and Sparks to turn her head slightly, with a worried expression on her face. The beautiful blonde girl led her friend into the walk-in-wardrobe and positioned her in the middle of the cleverly angled mirrors, that allowed the subject in their focus to view themselves from all angles.

John and Calara had followed them in, mouths agape.

"Ok, you can open your eyes now" Alyssa said lovingly.

Sparks opened her eyes cautiously and found she was standing in her friends wardrobe space in front of their mirrors. She looked at the mirror directly in front of her, not recognising the stunningly beautiful girl who looked back at her curiously.

"Who's that? Is this mirror broken" she asked puzzled, the ravishing girl in the reflection also wearing a bewildered expression.

"That's you Sparks" Alyssa said gently. "You're healed".

"It's me... what?" Sparks said turning to look at her friend, wondering just what was happening. 

Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed the figure in the mirror copying her exact movements. She walked forward and the blindingly beautiful young woman in the reflection moved up as well and stared in wonderment back at her.

Finally realising and understanding what Alyssa was trying to explain to her, she reached up with an elegant arm, her fingers trembling as she softly touched the side of her face. 

"My scars..." she whispered in shock "... they're gone"

She turned her body to look at her arm and shoulder, seeing the lovely bronzed skin for the first time. 

"It was all true" she gasped incredulously "I never believed you, but you were telling the truth"

She stared open mouthed in wonder at the young woman standing in front of her, finally seeing herself as she really was for the first time. Tall, athletic, slim, lithe and oh so breathtakingly beautiful. She moved her hands up to cup her big, gravity defying breasts and feeling the firm weight as they filled her hands. She turned her body and it moved gracefully and elegantly, the movements heartbreakingly smooth and fluid. She looked in amazement at the reflection that showed her from behind, staring at the perfectly rounded spheres of her buttocks and the smooth acres of bronzed flesh on her back, up to where it was obscured by her hair. 

"My hair" she said, reaching up with unbelieving hands to gently touch the luxurious softness of her long silky hair. No longer the brash ginger that she had kept cut brutally short and spiked, her hair had changed colour; now a dark sultry auburn, that complimented her lovely figure and complexion perfectly.

Finally she could fit in with the gloriously beautiful Alyssa and Calara. Finally she deserved to truly call this place with these wonderful people her home, she thought to herself.

Her eyes welled with tears and she turned to her friends, overcome with emotion. 

"Thank you" she gasped "Never in my wildest dreams..." she faltered unable to continue for a moment.

"I can't ever repay you for what you've done for me" she said simply. 

Alyssa let out a happy sob and rushed into her friends arms to hold her in a loving embrace. Calara was crying softly herself, overcome with happiness for Sparks and she moved forward to encircle the redhead in her arms. 

John gulped down the lump in his throat, his heart touched by the sincere gratitude from the young woman.

"You already have, just by being with us" John said as he moved in to wrap up all the girls in his strong arms.




Three Square Meals Ch. 15



They held each other and lost track of time, basking in the love and affection that filled the room. Eventually Alyssa and Calara gently released the girl who had gone through such a startling metamorphosis. Sparks looked up at John and kissed him delicately on the lips.

"Now I'm really ready to be with you" she said emphatically. 

She glanced over at Alyssa and Calara in turn. "I told John that I wanted our first time together to be just us, but I've changed my mind" she said confidently. "I'd like you two to be there too". 

The other girls nodded and they all moved to enter the bedroom.

Sparks saw the room for the first time and her breath caught. 

"You're so wonderful" she told them all sincerely. "Thank you for making this night so special for me".

John held out his hand and led Sparks over to the bed. She climbed up on it gracefully and he joined her in unhurried movements, leaning on his side and looking down at her as she lay back on the bed. Calara and Alyssa moved to sit on either side at the head of the bed and watched the couple together, their eyes full of love. They both reached down to gently stroke the teenagers sultry auburn hair, causing her to look up at both of them in turn and smile happily. Calara and Alyssa then sat back to watch and take no further part.

John leaned down to gently kiss the young girl, looking into her light blue eyes and noticing for the first time the golden corona that surrounded her pupils. Her lips felt soft and warm under his and he let his tongue gently brush against them, causing her to open her full lips wide so that they could kiss deeply. He moved his right hand up to lightly trace the left side of her beautiful face, where her scars had once been.

"Now how you look on the outside, reflects the girl I love on the inside" he said sincerely.

"Oh John, I love you too" Sparks sighed and melted into his arms.

They kissed each other reverently and lost track of time, before eventually John began to move away from her mouth and down her body. He planted tender kisses on her neck, across her chest and then finally made his way to her glorious breasts, licking each nipple softly and causing her to moan with pleasure. He followed the perfectly curved oval of her tummy and headed downwards, before trailing soft kisses across her toned flat stomach. 

Sparks gasped as she felt John kiss the sensitive skin above her hips, his tongue flickering out tentatively to gently taste her bronzed flesh. He carefully moved his body between her legs and she spread her toned thighs for him, inviting him to explore her most secret of places. John accepted her invitation and started to kiss her labia, relishing the velvety smooth skin under his lips. He lapped at her gently with his tongue, causing the teenager to cry out and arch her back at the wonderful sensations.  

"Oh that feels amazing" she sighed breathily as John began to lightly stroke his tongue over her clit. She gasped and moaned as he teased her responsive young body ever closer to climax. 

With a final flourish of his tongue the ravishing young woman cried out wordlessly, gripping the covers tightly in her fists as an incredible orgasm crashed over her, waves of pleasure washing over her body.

John looked up at her, smiling happily at her strong reaction to his efforts and Sparks looked down at him with adoring eyes.

"I want to be with you" she said invitingly.

John moved up her body until his arms were either side of her and the blunt end of his cock was nestled between her thighs at the entrance to her pussy. 

John moved in closer to her, so that his arms were behind her back, cradling her head and she stared up at him as he kissed her passionately. Sparks felt protected and loved, cradled as she was in her powerful lovers arms and yearned to be joined with him. She nodded as he stared into her eyes and her mouth opened in awe as she felt her body being opened and filled for the first time. There was no pain, just an incredible feeling of satisfaction as John pushed slowly and carefully inside her body. She spread her thighs wider, giving him as much room as he needed and steadily his long hard cock pushed its way right to the back of her snugly gripping pussy.

He paused for a moment to let her nubile young flesh get used to being stretched out widely for him for the first time. Her body instinctively knew that it should yield for her man and her unused pussy wrapped itself around the gently throbbing cock longingly.

They kissed again, looking into each other's eyes as if being able to stare into each other's souls. She had never felt this connected to a person before, like she was entwined around John's very being, just like her body was tightly embracing his burgeoning cock. 

John sensed that the teenager had adjusted to the strange and wonderful sensation of being penetrated for the first time and he began to gently rock back and forth, eliciting excited gasps from the eager young teen.

Sparks hissed as the broad cock nudged up against her cervix, but she knew that her body would spread itself open as far as he needed to go. She kissed him again and looked into his eyes.

"I want to feel all of you inside me" she said in a breathy moan.

John nodded and began to push steadily into her, feeling her cervix dilate in welcome for him and allowing him slow and measured progress into her tight young body. He eased his way forward, until he had finally pushed into her womb and Sparks reached down to feel the bulge in her tummy his massive cock had made, as he worked himself inside her. She could feel his big heavy balls resting on the cheeks of her bottom, the weight reassuring and yet hugely arousing.

She sighed happily, feeling like her body was being used for its natural purpose at long last and she kissed John with fervour. Matching her growing desire, John began to slowly and carefully pull back from the young girl, before steadily pushing forward to fill her once again.

Sparks let out a little moan as her body responded to making love for the first time. Her hips began to rock back and forth in time with John's movements, making his penetration deeper and more satisfying for both of them. They bodies moved in perfect time with one another, urging each other on with gasps, sighs and moans. Sparks moved her hands down to hold Johns waist, feeling the tightly controlled power behind his muscles as he moved gently but firmly inside her. 

The lovers' movements became erratic, their breath more laboured as they quickly approached their climax. John cupped her head in his hands protectively and stared into her eyes, their faces only inches apart and their pupils dilating with ecstasy as they both came long and hard.

Sparks thigh's trembled uncontrollably as she experienced her first orgasm with her man inside her. Her tight pussy sucked on John's jerking cock eagerly, hungrily encouraging him to fill her up. Her eyes widened as she felt the first surge of his cum into her womb and then she groaned as her climax lengthened, rewarding her young body for following its natural drives. She let go of John's waist and gently cupped her growing stomach, as she felt each blast of his cum shoot inside her. John raised himself up on his arms to give her room to grow, whilst repeating his urgent little thrusts, deeply ensconced in her as he was. 

Sparks could feel the enormous spheres of his balls trembling as they quivered against her bottom, flexing and pumping to make sure that every drop of spunk in his quad would end up inside her body. The redhead groaned euphorically as her belly expanded to home all of John's cum, as he filled her tight young body to the brim. Finally spent he gently eased back, leaving her feeling sadly empty, but the rapturous feeling of carrying such an enormous quantity of his semen in her densely packed womb proved to be ample compensation. 

"That was wonderful" she sighed ecstatically, her eyelids languid after the sensory overload. 

"You are wonderful" John said, leaning in to kiss her lovingly.

Calara and Alyssa had watched the whole encounter enraptured. They adored John for the caring and gentle way he made love to their friend for the first time and when the two of them had finally finished, the girls moved forward to embrace her and whisper gentle endearments in her ears. Sparks lovingly caressed her hugely swollen belly, enjoying the different feeling when it was her womb filled with cum rather than her stomach. Calara and Alyssa joined her in stroking her abundant tummy, with soft caresses of their elegant fingers.

Now that she carried John's cum inside her womb for the first time, the teenager finally felt the equal of Calara and Alyssa, unified in their purpose as John's mates. She sighed contentedly, the feelings of inadequacy and inferiority washing away.

John moved between the girls so that Calara was on his left, with Sparks on his right and Alyssa cuddled up protectively behind her. John looked the redhead in the eyes as he ran his strong hands over her hugely expanded abdomen and the look he gave her confirmed that she was right, she was his woman now. 

They all cuddled up together to enjoy the intimate moment and rested comfortably in each others arms. 

John lay back and relished being surrounded by the beautiful young women that he loved so much. He could hardly believe what they had been through and survived today, but he knew instinctively that this was just the beginning of their adventures together. The happy trio had become the happy foursome and he couldn't be more glad, as he looked down devotedly at the teenagers wrapped in his arms.



Three Square Meals Ch. 16



John stretched and then sat up, leaving the girls curled around him in bed. 

"You ladies have a rest then come and join me in the officer's lounge in 30 minutes" he said "I owe you girls that celebratory dinner!"

He manoeuvred his way out of the bed, being careful not to accidentally lean his weight on Calara as he climbed over her. The girls snuggled up together, watching him get dressed before waving him goodbye with smiles on their beautiful young faces. 

John strolled down the corridor to the Kitchen, whistling happily to himself. He remembered the blood soaked armour down in the hangar that desperately needed a good clean, but he shrugged nonchalantly.

"I'll clean it up later." he thought, eager to go and get started on the cooking. 

He stopped suddenly, surprised by his own thoughts. For years he had been obsessed with cleanliness, scrubbing the Fool's Gold until it shined, a slave to his obsessive need to keep things clean and well ordered. He was no longer troubled by those concerns and thinking back on it, he hadn't been for at least a month or so. Prior to that, the idea of leaving a messy chaotic jumble like that in his domain would have been like a nagging splinter in his mind, leaving him unable to focus on anything else until he restored order to his ship.

Shrugging it off, he carried on walking to the kitchen, figuring that he had enough on his plate with keeping the girls entertained, to be worrying about such trivialities. He entered the well stocked kitchen and grabbed sheets of pasta, white sauce, herbs and the ingredients for a tasty homemade Bolognese sauce that his grandmother had taught him decades ago.

30 minutes later, the girls walked into the officer's lounge and gathered around the table. John came out of the kitchen with a big dish of lasagne that he had just cooked up for them, the cheese on the top piping hot. 

"Here you go girls, try this!" he said enthusiastically. "Have any of you had lasagne before?" he asked curiously. 

None of the girls had and it smelled so delicious they couldn't wait to try it. John walked around the table holding the chairs out for each girl in turn, waiting for them to sit down. Alyssa and Sparks wondered what he was doing for a moment, but Calara had seen this kind of old fashioned chivalry before and therefore knew how to respond. Alyssa just followed the Latina's lead, waiting to be seated. He reached Sparks last, expecting her to have a hugely swollen belly after their passionate love making earlier, but her stomach was slim and toned. He stood behind her as she waited to be seated and reached around, running his hand over the smooth toned skin of her midriff. 

"Where did it all go?" he asked curiously, enjoying the feel of her supple teenage flesh beneath his fingers.

"We fancied a starter!" Alyssa grinned at him impishly, rubbing her own stomach contentedly. Calara smiled up at him coyly.

John laughed and then turned Sparks around to kiss her soundly. The sultry redhead put her arms around his neck and returned his lovely greeting. They smiled at each other happily and then he held out the chair for her, so she could sit too.

The four of them tucked into dinner like they were starving, enjoying the food and a bottle of wine. It was a nice relaxing evening and just what they all needed after the mayhem and excitement of the day. After clearing up they returned to bed, eager to get a good night's sleep so that they would be well rested before they caught up with the pirates tomorrow. 

The three girls each took turns going down on him until he couldn't hold back any longer and Calara ended up being the one to provide a nice warm home in her belly for his load.

"It was wonderful to see you change Sparks" she sighed contentedly, rubbing her full stomach "but I can't tell you how good it feels to be swallowing down John's cum again".

They drifted off into a deep restful sleep and awoke the next morning feeling completely refreshed. After a shower they had breakfast and then went their separate ways; Calara going up to the Command deck to further familiarise herself with their target, the Heavy Cruiser Stalingrad, whilst the others went down to the cargo deck to clean up the combat gear. 

John and Alyssa set to work cleaning their armour, while Sparks hosed out all the viscous green Kirrix blood from the dropship they had captured. She was intrigued by the alien technology and soon had a maintenance panel removed from the small yellow-brown craft to have a look at the dropship's innards. She glanced over to see John and Alyssa had finished cleaning up their gear and were now wondering what to do about the pile of Kirrix corpses stacked to the side of the hangar bay. Closing the maintenance panel behind her with a pressurised click, Sparks strode over to join the other two.

"What are you going to do with all these bodies?" she asked curiously.

"I was thinking we could just space them out the airlock" John said.

Sparks knelt down to take a closer look at their armoured carapaces and she lifted up one of the corpses to study its chitinous body plating. 

"I'd like to study their armour if that's alright?" she asked tentatively.

"Sure, but why?" John replied bemused.

"Their armour seems strong and resilient, but it's much less bulky than your armour and very light weight." she explained. "Once I have my workshop, I'd like to see if I could reproduce something similar with a synthetic polymer."

"Be my guest." John smiled indulgently.

"Thanks!" she grinned exuberantly.

They left the hangar with John and Alyssa carrying their armour and weapons to take up to their room. After packing the gear away neatly, they headed up to the bridge to prepare for the fight with the pirates.

"Hey Calara, everything ok up here?" John asked the gorgeous brunette as he climbed the steps to the command podium and settled in his chair.

"Sure John." she replied, smiling at him warmly. "We've got just over an hour until we catch up with the Stalingrad. I checked the system where we should be able to ambush them and it's a binary star system called Irinis-gemini."

Calara turned to her console and pressed a couple of buttons bringing up the system map. The map blinked into existence in the middle of the bridge, casting a pale blue illumination over the command deck. It showed them their current location, travelling through a system called Iota-Carinae and then under Calara's skilled hands the map glided through the sector, passing system after system until she brought up the Irinis-gemini system.

John leaned forward to look at the map. There was a single Gas giant, an asteroid belt that was being heavily mined and one other planetoid, a habitable world called Winnesh, all orbiting the primary star in the system.

"Can you show me the exact place we'll catch..." he began.

"BWOOOP!" "BWOOOP!" "BWOOOP!"

An obnoxiously loud siren sounded through the bridge and the Invictus began to vibrate alarmingly.

"What the fuck's going on?!" John asked in alarm.

"We're being pulled out of Hyper-warp!" Alyssa exclaimed, staring at her Navigation overview intensely.

"Get our shields up and weapons ready Lieutenant!" he ordered the Latina, who was already springing into action, her hands a flurry of activity over the tactical controls. 

The weapons loadout hologram hovering above her tactical station showed the armoured panels in the Invictus' hull peeling away to expose their weaponry.

"They're using an Interdictor against us John!" Sparks called out in alarm.

"Put our current star system on the map Sparks" he asked her brusquely, having no time for pleasantries.

The sultry redhead nodded determinedly and the System map snapped back to Iota-Carinae. They were on the outskirts of the system, the huge A-type star bathing the system in a white glow. The tactical map showed that they had been pulled out of hyper-warp and dragged close to Iota-Carinae Alpha, the only planetary body in the system. It was a freezing world of sub-zero temperatures, surrounded by a wide band of frozen ice chunks in concentric rings.

Their focus was dragged away from the system map for the moment when Sparks reported they were receiving incoming fire.

"Shields at 62% Commander!" she cried out in alarm "We're being attacked by multiple targets".

"Boost shields and engine power, divert all energy from weapons." John said.

Sparks swiped her hand over the power distribution hologram to obey his commands. The shields on the damage control overlay began to pulse in a light green, showing that they were recharging and the massive engines groaned as they trembled with power, the Invictus leaping forward eagerly.

"Alyssa, evasive manoeuvres, we've got to get out of their killing ground!" he said curtly.

"On it John!" the beautiful blonde said in reply, rolling the Invictus and pulled the nose of the ship around to point at the Ice planet.

"Calara, show me the tactical map!" he ordered the Latina.

The tactical map appeared, replacing the system map in the middle of the bridge and icons quickly sprung into place as they were picked up by the sensors. Their dark grey hulled assault cruiser was centred in the map, surrounded by a destroyer, a frigate, four corvettes and the heavy cruiser. It was the pirates from the Chendar system and the hacking Sparks had done on their transponders, allowed the crew to see the full order of battle arrayed against them.

"Those fleeing picket ships must have regrouped with the other pirate ships that jumped out!" Calara said, as she recognised the ship configurations.

The Invictus rocketed past the destroyer, leaving it facing the wrong direction, as Alyssa made a beeline for the belt of razor sharp chunks of ice. The corvettes and the frigate gave chase, firing their laser cannons at the fleeing ship. The carefully controlled erratic dodging that Alyssa was employing was allowing the slower ships to keep up, but making it extremely hard for them to hit the Invictus with any degree of accuracy. One of the corvettes managed to hit them with a few blasts from its laser cannons but the rest of the pirates' shots went comfortably wide.

"Shields at 60% John." Sparks called out, the shields regenerating almost as quickly as the pirates could knock them down with their inaccurate shooting.

"Incoming broadside from the Stalingrad!" Calara warned, as the bulky pirate command ship opened up with its starboard batteries. 

Alyssa had dipped the Invictus and was yawing to the right to avoid fire from the pursuing corvettes, which meant that the enormous shells from the Heavy cannons sailed wide, eventually detonating harmlessly a few thousand metres away from their hull with colossal explosive force. Unfortunately the beam laser battery fire was much more accurate, with four of the six lasers scything across the shields over the rear of the dodging assault cruiser.

"Shields down to 28%!" the redhead cried in alarm.

"Twenty second until we reach the Ice field." Alyssa said distractedly, as she focused nearly all her attention on trying to anticipate where the pirates would aim and making wild evasive manoeuvres to make sure the Invictus wasn't near that spot.

A relentless cascade of laser cannon fire sailed around the Invictus, as the pirates sprayed shots all over the place, giving up on trying to aim and just hoping a mass of firepower would let them hit by blind luck if not by skill. It worked to a degree, with the Invictus taking a few more hits, although the shields comfortably absorbed and dissipated the energy.

The tactical map zoomed in to show the looming formations of ice hanging motionless and trapped in orbit around the frozen planet. The Invictus dived into the ice belt, leaving a frosty trail behind them as their shields pushed aside the tiny ice crystals that shrouded the whole belt in a white mist. 

Alyssa pulled the ship around in a smooth arc and put a colossal hunk of crystallised water between them and the heavy cruiser. Now they were no longer in direct line of sight to the pirates, she was able to put more distance between them and their pursuers, making use of the superior top speed of the Invictus.

"What's the plan John?" she asked him curiously.

"We'll regenerate our shields under cover of the ice field and then hit the pirates if they come in after us." he said decisively.

Alyssa grinned at him and nodded eagerly.

"Fantastic job reacting so fast to that ambush ladies" he said delightedly, never ceasing to be surprised at just how capable his women were.

They beamed up at him happily, loving hearing the pride in his voice. 

"Shields at 22%." Sparks said. "That was a close one!" she sighed with relief.

Behind them, the titanic lump of ice shuddered as it was hit by the beam lasers from the Stalingrad, melting huge gouges out of the sheer ice surface facing the Heavy Cruiser. The stubborn ice block stayed together though, refusing to yield to the energy weapons. That stubbornness was abruptly overwhelmed when the Stalingrad opened up with its eight heavy cannons. The shells punched their way into the icy asteroid and caused great fractured splits, until the shells detonated moments later and razor sharp ice fragments exploded in all directions, the huge object blasted into smithereens.

Fortunately for the crew of the Invictus, that was but one massive hunk of ice amongst thousands and Alyssa simply followed the Ice belt around the planet, putting more distance and more Ice between them and the marauding pirates. They sailed past huge formations of ice that reflected the bright glare from the sun, spreading multi hued prisms of light in front of them.

"You know this would actually be quite beautiful if we weren't running for our lives" Alyssa said, smiling appreciatively at the natural wonders the galaxy had to share.

The other girls nodded appreciatively and John looked at her fondly. 

"Perhaps we'll do some sightseeing sometime," he said. "but for now we better focus on the job at hand. Sparks, how are the shields?"

"We're back up to 47%." She said with relief.

"Calara, what about the pirates?" he asked the brunette.

"The destroyer is hanging back with the heavy cruiser. The four corvettes and the frigate are in pursuit." Calara said, highlighting the enemy ships on the tactical map.

"That's right, split your forces you dumb bastards." John said, with a predatory grin. "Sparks, let me know when we're above 90% shields and it's going to be payback time."

"Will do John." she told him, grinning.

Alyssa kept the ship on an even keel, but reduced their speed slightly so they wouldn't get too far ahead of the pursuing pirate ships. By the time the shields had regenerated, they were around on the other side of the planet from the initial ambush site. 

"88... 89... 90% John!" Sparks called out as their shields grew stronger in power. 

Alyssa didn't need to be told what to do, as she pulled up the nose on the Invictus, executing an Immelmann turn and putting them on a direct course towards the pursuing corvettes and frigate.

"20 seconds until we're in range." she called out.

Sparks powered up the weapons, diverting away power from the engines, but kept the shields regenerating.

Calara narrowed her eyes as she sighted the vicious pirates and gently depressed the trigger, firing the assault cruiser's beam lasers. The six bright shafts of energy scorched the tiny ice crystals in their path before searing into the frigate. The pirate ship's shields were no match for the mighty power of the beam lasers and winked out an instant, allowing the beams to blast right through the ship, leaving it a hollowed out ruined shell.

The Invictus trembled a second later as the rail guns fired, the hyper warp shells slamming into two of the corvettes. Normally ineffective against shielded targets, the shells still had sufficient momentum to send the tiny corvettes spiralling out of control, each one colliding with massive chunks of Ice that were drifting nearby. The shells detonated seconds later and the explosions ripped apart the badly damaged ships. Finally closing to laser cannon range, the two remaining corvettes fired back with turreted lasers as they turned to try and escape from the vengeful wrath of the Invictus. Alyssa dodged their poorly aimed shots with deceptive ease and then Calara eviscerated both small ships with broadsides from their own batteries of laser cannons.

"Shields up to 100% John." Sparks said informatively.

"Now it's your turn." John said, staring at the representation of the Heavy cruiser as it circled the planet, staying well clear of the Ice belt.

"Ok full power to engines, we want to close as fast as we can to execute Alyssa's plan." John ordered.

"We'll take out the destroyer as soon as it's in range and then it's just us and that cruiser" he continued.

Nodding their understanding, the girls followed his commands eagerly. Alyssa swung the ship about, putting them on a direct intercept course with the Heavy Cruiser. Calara pressed some buttons on her tactical console and weapon fire arcs and ranges for the Stalingrad appeared, overlaid on the bulky command ship.

"They'll fire as soon as we get in range" the astute brunette told Alyssa. "I'd get ready with evasive manoeuvres the second we hit their maximum field of fire".

The blonde nodded her head, appreciative of Calara's tactical knowledge. 

"I'm diverting all power to engines at the moment, but I'll bring the weapons back online just before we close on the destroyer." Sparks warned the Latina.

All prepared, they watched the tactical map as the Invictus closed inexorably on their target. The Stalingrad was cruising along at a right angle to them, keeping them directly facing the full might of its broadsides. The accompanying destroyer pivoted and began to move forward to engage.

As predicted, the Stalingrad opened up with everything it had the second the Invictus closed within beam and heavy cannon range. Forewarned, Alyssa executed a sharp dive with perfect split second timing and the assault cruiser ducked below the blistering hail of energy beams and heavy shells. Explosions ripped through space behind them, but the shells had overshot and caused no damage. Sparks powered up the weapons, just as Alyssa brought up the front of the Invictus to face the incoming destroyer.

The Destroyer fired their own two beam lasers, both of them striking the Invictus as it flew directly at them, causing the shields to glow brightly as the arcing lances of laser energy slashed across the front of the charging assault cruiser. Calara fired back and the Destroyer's shields flickered out, overwhelmed by the mighty power of the beam lasers, as five of the six beams carved glowing furrows into the thick armour on the blocky front of the ship. The beams had done their job however, knocking out the shields and leaving the target vulnerable to the Mass drivers. The four enormous magnetic rails launched their shells at incredible velocity and all four struck the front of the pirate vessel at the same time. The tremendous impact knocked the ship upwards as though reeling from an uppercut and when the shells detonated a second later, the explosions vaporised the front of the doomed ship.

The massed ranks of laser cannon turrets on the Stalingrad opened up as the Invictus closed with them relentlessly, lighting up the tactical map as they sent a curtain of red laser bolts in the assault cruiser's direction. Alyssa rolled the Invictus and yawed to port, heading towards the rear of the enemy cruiser and causing roughly half of the incoming fire to sail wide. Calara returned fire with the twelve laser cannons on their starboard side, all shots causing rippling energy cascades as they struck the side of the slowly moving Heavy Cruiser.




Three Square Meals Ch. 16



"Shields at 72%." Sparks called out, the beams from the destroyer and the hits from the laser cannons taking their toll.

John nodded his understanding and watched as the duel unfolded.

Alyssa brought the Invictus around in a sharp turn, putting them directly behind the Heavy Cruiser, just as the cooling icon disappeared from the beam weapons on the weapon loadout display. Calara pulled the trigger and the beams cleaved into the shields, which flickered desperately as they tried to withstand the concentrated energy. The front mounted laser cannon turrets took over the work from the starboard facing ones and fired relentless fusillades of laser bolts into the back of the Stalingrad.

The Stalingrad pilot tried desperately to shift their stubborn pursuer, but they had neither the skill nor the manoeuvrability to shake them. The Stalingrad heavy cruiser returned fire, but now the Invictus was directly behind them and no longer in the broadside arcs of the beam lasers or heavy cannons, leaving only laser cannons able to attack. Still, the Stalingrad massed considerable banks of laser cannons in their rear arc and with not much room to dodge, a lot struck home.

"Shields at 46%!" Sparks replied, "They won't stay up much longer against that much firepower."

Alyssa dipped the nose of the Invictus so that the entire top deck could open up on the rear of the bigger ship. 16 laser cannons spat a steady stream of laser bolts into the back of the Heavy cruiser, causing the enemy shields to ripple with the repeated impacts. The Stalingrad opened up again and this time it was the front of the Invictus that was peppered with dozens of laser cannon blasts.

"Down to 15%!" Sparks cried out in alarm.

Calara kept her crosshairs squarely over the heavy cruiser as her relentless barrage of laser cannon blasts kept up the pressure on the Stalingrad's shields.

"Nearly there..." she said softly, watching the tactical summary of the Stalingrad out of the corner of her eye and the predicted shield strength displayed next to the heavy cruiser. 

Finally it was time.

"Pull up Alyssa!" Calara demanded and her friend brought the nose of the Invictus up to face the rear of the Stalingrad, just as the cooling icon disappeared from the beam lasers on her weapon loadout hologram.

Calara narrowed her eyes in concentration and targeted an upraised tower on the back of the heavy cruiser. She pulled the trigger and six beams of coruscating energy lanced out from her ship and punched into the enemy shields, finally overloading them at long last. The beams from the Invictus seared onwards and slashed through the tower with a 6 clawed swipe, shearing the entire structure off the back of the heavy cruiser. 

"Oh yeah..." Calara said, grinning with satisfaction.

The enemies rear facing laser cannon turrets powered down, the enemy fire control tower eviscerated by the brunette's precision shooting. The Stalingrad was now helpless and completely at their mercy.

"Incoming hail John" Alyssa said, putting the communication on the vid-screen when he glanced her way and nodded.

A swarthy looking figure wearing a tricorn hat filled the viewscreen. 

"Everett Hitch, Pirate Lord at your service." the man said with a sweeping flourish of his archaic looking hat. 

"You seem to have me at somewhat of a disadvantage, may I ask for a parlay?" the Pirate Lord requested cordially.

"I don't deal with slavers." John snarled. "Especially not someone who sells people to the Kirrix!"

"At least tell me your name, good sir!" the Pirate Lord requested, surprisingly calm despite the desperate situation he found himself in.

"Commander John Blake and I'm here to end you!" John said, pointing at the man.

"Well Mr Blake, that's as may be, but I think you might want to hear what I have to say before you shoot any more bits off my fine ship" the Pirate said a sardonic smile.

"Ok let's hear it." John said, his dislike of the Pirate Lord growing by the moment.

"I didn't trade all our captives with the Kirrix. Let's just say I kept a few behind for insurance purposes, so to speak" he elaborated with an evil glint in his eye. 

The pirate lord glanced at a control panel to the side of him and pushed a button, the image of his face replaced by vid-feed of human prisoners locked in cells, before the image returned to his smug face once again.

"Now how about you turn your splendid ship around and let me be on my way, or who knows what terrible fate might befall them!" he said with mock lament. 

"You bastard!" John exclaimed.

"Bye-bye Mr Blake, just accept you've been outplayed and everything will be just dandy!" Pirate Lord Everett Hitch said, waving farewell with a taunting smile and ending the communication.

"What now John?" Alyssa asked him, Calara and Sparks looking up and waiting with baited breath.

"I want that man dead" John grimaced, "but we can't just carve up his ship with the Invictus. The vid-feed footage might be fake, but I don't think it is".

"Boarding action?" Alyssa suggested.

"Yeah, I think we have to." John said. 

"I'll soften the ship up for you" Calara volunteered. "They won't be going anywhere."

Sparks had finished performing an active scan of the Stalingrad and she turned to face the command podium. 

"It looks like the prisoners are been kept in the ships brig." she said, hitting a button on her console to bring up the scan of the Stalingrad. It showed a group of 15 life readings in an area highlighted as the brig, on the detailed schematic overlay showing the floor layout of a Terran Federation heavy cruiser.

"Can you upload that data to the computer in my armour please." John requested.

Sparks nodded eagerly and turned back to her console to make sure John had a detailed map to guide him in the pirate ship.

John rose to his feet and Alyssa joined him, as they prepared to get ready for an assault on the heavy cruiser. They took the elevator down to their quarters and hurried to put on their combat armour and collect their rifles and ammo. Alyssa looked at the ragged hole in the shoulderpad of her armour with a raised eyebrow.

"Yeah, I know." John muttered, as he slammed in a magazine of hollow point caseless into his bullpup rifle.

"If I'd known I'd be doing this much combat, I would have bought a few dozen suits of armour just in case!" he said with irritation.

"The trials and tribulations of being a trader?" Alyssa said, smiling. 

"I've seen more combat in the last month, than I saw in my last couple of years in the military!" John said in exasperation.

"If it's any consolation, I've been in more combat in the last month, than my last 18 years!" Alyssa said, smiling wryly.

"Ok, that has me beat." John said, grinning at her.

"Come on, let's go say hello to Mr Everett Hitch." he said with grim finality.

"Don't you mean goodbye?" Alyssa said, smiling.

John nodded in agreement and they headed down to the Hangar bay. They boarded their captured Kirrix dropship and once John had opened the outer hull doors, Alyssa powered up the engines and carefully exited the Hangar. From outside, the two space leviathans loomed above them, the Invictus and the Stalingrad locked in a one sided melee. Calara was using the laser cannons to completely cripple the heavy cruiser, having firstly melted down the relays that powered the Stalingrad's defence grid and now taking out the enemy ship's engines with her uncannily accurate shooting. 

"Escape pods leaving the Stalingrad." Alyssa said, pointing to the small metallic spheres being jettisoned from the escape pod launch tubes along the flanks of the heavy cruiser.

"Rats deserting the sinking ship." John muttered darkly.

Alyssa brought the Kirrix dropship around to the hangar bay positioned in the underbelly of the heavy cruiser. She flew directly underneath the pirate vessel and then used manoeuvring thrusters to lift their ugly looking dropship up into the open mouth of the Stalingrad's hangar bay.

The dimly lit hangar bay looked to be deserted, so she brought their dropship forward and landed it on one of the empty pads. The two of them readied their rifles and then disembarked, sealing the door to the dropship behind them and covering the various doors into the hangar in case of surprise attacks.

"Where too?" Alyssa said.

John pressed a button on the computer built into the vambrace of his armour and a holographic map of the interior of the heavy cruiser sprung into existence. 

"The brig is here." John said, pointing to a location a few decks up from where they stood in the hangar. 

"The Captain's quarters are here." John said grimly, pointing to a spot near the top decks of the Stalingrad.

"Ok prisoners first, then we pay a visit to the Captain?" Alyssa said enthusiastically.

"That's the plan." John said and led her out of the hangar. 

They headed along a corridor and saw an elevator on their right, currently coming down to their level. John pressed the call button and then the two of them raised their assault rifles. The elevator door swung open and three scruffy pirates looked at them in open mouthed surprise.

"Going up?" John asked, before he and Alyssa filled the elevator with bursts of fire from their assault rifles, spraying the back wall with blood.

"Hmm, going a long way down I suspect." Alyssa replied.

They got into the elevator and pressed the button for deck 4. On the way up, the elevator stopped at deck 3. The door chimed and then swished open to reveal two pirates in a hurry to evacuate the ship. They looked down in shock at the blood soaked corpses of their ship mates, before looking up to see the assault rifles pointed in their direction.

"The lift's full I'm afraid" John said apologetically, before they opened fire, cutting the brigands down.

Alyssa's musical laughter filled the elevator as the door swung closed and John grinned at her.

"What's with the quips?" she asked amused.

"Perhaps you're a bad influence?" John said, smiling at her affectionately.

The elevator chimed again and the door opened out on the 4th deck, which contained the security brig. 

*Ok they should be just up ahead* John thought to Alyssa, falling into their silent combat routine.

They walked ahead cautiously until they reached an intersection, at the end of which they could see a guard post and a ceiling mounted Gatling laser. 

"Damn!" John cursed under his breath, as he and Alyssa darted to the sides and out of line of sight of the powerful anti-personnel weapon. 

Alyssa looked at him questioningly, wondering what they were going to do now. She could read John's frustration and realised they might be stuck. Suddenly a whir started that she recognised from the Mexican standoff back on Karron and then staccato pulses of laser fire opened up, strobing light flashing down the corridor. 

She instinctively pulled right back into cover, remembering the carnage those laser bolts could cause, but was surprised when no laser fire came searing down the corridor. John looked her way and shrugged, his face and thoughts showing he was as equally puzzled as her. He tentatively poked his head around the corner and then pulled back as his watch communicator flashed. He answered the call and Sparks' beautiful smiling face filled the image. 

"You're welcome!" she said mischievously.

"What...?" John asked, confused.

"I hacked the Stalingrad and took control of their defensive subsystems. When I saw you two approaching the brig, I thought I'd lend a hand." She explained.

"Above you and to your left." the redhead grinned impishly.

John looked up and left and spotted a small security camera set into the ceiling.

"I'll call and let you know if I see any trouble coming your way, but it looks pretty chaotic from up here, the pirates seem to be evacuating." Sparks said reassuringly.

"Very nice Sparks, thank you!" John said appreciatively, wondering how she had managed to hack military grade security subsystems. 

He ended the call and prepared to move onwards, Alyssa falling into line at his side. They moved up to the end of the corridor and saw that the Gatling laser was now pointed at the guard station and two pirate guards had been shot to pieces by the point blank laser fire, their corpses smouldering from the high energy laser impacts. They cautiously headed into the brig which was lined with rows of cells on either side of the corridor. 

John walked ahead and looked into the cells, seeing the captive people Sparks had picked up on her active scan of the Stalingrad. He unlocked the cell doors and the energy fields securing each cell disappeared, freeing the prisoners. The men and women locked within came out carefully, unsure what to expect. 

"My name's Commander John Blake, we're here to rescue you." John said, "Follow us".

The relieved traders and ore haulers nodded eagerly and huddled in a group behind John and Alyssa. They were all about to head out of the brig and back to the elevator when John heard the distinctive sound of the Gatling laser firing again. He darted forward to see what the problem was and he saw three figures slumped over in the corridor, smoke rising from their perforated corpses. He looked up and around for another camera and when he spotted one, he gave it the thumbs up sign. The Gatling laser bobbed up and down like it was nodding and John grinned at the camera.

"Can any of you use handguns?" John asked the freed prisoners and most of the people raised their hands. 

"Ok grab the guns off the dead pirates, we might need the extra firepower" he instructed.

Two traders picked up guns from the guard pirates, three more from the ones that Sparks had ambushed in the corridor. John and Alyssa led the group down the corridor and back to the elevator, which they called to take them back down to the hangar. When the elevator arrived, John got in with five of the prisoners, three of them picking up guns from the pirates that had been killed earlier. They headed down to ground level and then waited in the corridor, sending the elevator back up. Alyssa sent five more armed prisoners back down to join John and the growing group on the bottom deck, before finally coming down with the last group.

They headed back to the dropship, leading the bedraggled group of ex-prisoners behind them. When they arrived in the hangar, they saw a group of three pirates trying to figure out how to open the airlock door at the back of the Kirrix dropship. With a few well aimed bursts, John and Alyssa gunned down the men unceremoniously and then led the freed captives over to the dropship, where three of the ore haulers grabbed guns off the fallen pirates.

"We're going after the Pirate Captain" John said to the group as Alyssa opened up the airlock. "We won't be long."

The traders and haulers nodded and then gratefully climbed into the safety of the dropship. It was a bit of a squeeze, but they managed to fit all 15 prisoners into the ship.

"Ok that's them free, now let's pay a visit to Mr Hitch." John said smiling grimly.

They quickly jogged back to the elevator, before taking it all the way up to the second deck. The second deck held a handful of officers quarters that led off their corridor, but they had all been hastily abandoned in the rush to evacuate the stricken ship. Light spilled from the room at the end of the corridor, which the embossed nameplate at the side identified as the Captain's quarters.

John and Alyssa walked cautiously forward, eyes focused on the movement coming from the room ahead and listening to the sound of boxes being moved about. They raised their assault rifles, ready to react in an instant, as the sound of someone's voice drifted down the hall to meet them.

"Commander Bloody Blake..." the figure in the room ranted.

"Curse him all the way to Hades!" the angry man exclaimed. 

"Can this one assist?" A high pitched voice asked curiously.

"Shut the fuck up!" The man snarled in irritation.

John and Alyssa finally got closer enough to see a familiar figure frantically stacking crates together. He walked over to the left side of the room and bent over to pick up another crate.

"Mr Everett Hitch..." John said menacingly as he stepped into the room, his weapon sighted on the Pirate Lord.

Hitch whirled to face them, the tails of his buccaneer's jacket whirling around him.

"Now, now Mr Blake!" the shocked pirate said, his right hand raised placatingly. "There's no need for this to get ugly!"

"Oh yes, there's definitely a need." John said, his voice dark and threatening.

"I surrender!" the Pirate Lord said abruptly. "You do-gooders like it when people surrender right?" he said pleadingly as he backed away from them with his hands in the air.

"I'm not that good" John replied ominously.

*Yes! keep this fool distracted just a moment longer!* Hitch thought to himself gleefully as he backed into a nearby table. His hand dropping down as if to steady himself, but instead furtively picking up a remote on the table behind him. 

*Just don't let him see the robot* Hitch thought as his hand gripped the remote to activate his security droid and pressed a button. 

"John, watch out!" Alyssa cried as she shoved John forward with all her strength, dropping her assault rifle in the process.

The room was suddenly lit up with shocking strobing brightness as the unseen robot in the right hand corner of the room powered up and fired an arm mounted Gatling laser in their direction. Pulses of light zipped between John and Alyssa to score burning holes in the wall opposite. John rolled forward with the momentum of the shove and then found himself face to face with a stubby pistol levelled in his direction.

"Say goodbye Mr Blake!" The pirate Lord grinned evilly as he prepared to pull the trigger.

The robot suddenly clanked loudly, its head jerking to the side as it lurched forward on unsteady feet. It pivoted at the waist and pointed the Gatling laser at the Pirate Lord.

"Stupid robot, what's wrong with you!" Hitch cried out in fear, pressing buttons on his remote to no avail.

"Goodbye." John said with finality, guessing who now controlled the robot.

The whirling Gatling laser trembled as it fired, bolt after bolt of high powered energy pulses searing through the terrified Pirate and sending his perforated corpse flying into the stack of crates on the left of the room. The crates tumbled over and broke apart, leaving a fortune in precious gems scattered over the floor. John and Alyssa stood in stunned silence as they gazed at the wealth of gemstones that had shockingly appeared at their feet.

Abruptly a claxon began to wail alarmingly in the background, piercing the quiet in the room. 

"What's that?" Alyssa asked John curiously. 

John shrugged, having no idea, but his watch began to flash insistently. He pressed the button to receive the call and Sparks' panicked face filled the Holo image.

"You have to get out of there!" she pleaded desperately.

"Why, what's wrong?" John asked, confused.

"He must have had a dead man's switch, the self destruct's been activated! The Stalingrad's going to blow in three minutes and I can't turn it off!" she yelled. 

"Ok we're leaving!" John said and ended the call, looking down at the fortune in gems with regret.

"Come on, we haven't got long until the self destruct blows!" John said to Alyssa, who had started walking across the room to a doorway opposite, her rifle lying forgotten in the doorway.

"Just one moment John, I want to check something" the beautiful blonde said distractedly. She felt strangely drawn to a door leading through to a bedroom at the back of Hitch's private quarters and she moved forward resolutely.

Alyssa leaned into the bedroom, letting her eyes adjust to the dim illumination and saw a huge silk sheeted bed at the back of the room. Sitting in the middle of the bed was a figure that defied belief. The figure was a girl, wearing a school uniform, complete with plaid skirt, white stockings and a white shirt. However what filled that shirt was an absolutely enormous set of gigantic tits. Each was the size of a beachball and on the tiny girl's slim frame, looked positively ludicrous. Finally managing to tear away her eyes from the massive creamy skinned mammaries, Alyssa looked at the girl's face for the first time. 




Three Square Meals Ch. 16



Framed by outrageously voluminous light pink hair, a face peeked out that looked like it belonged on some kind of manga cartoon character. The girl's eyes were huge, at least three times bigger than a normal girls, and she had a tiny button nose above a small mouth.

"Are you this one's new master now?" The girl squeaked in a childlike high pitched voice.

"No, we're here to free you" Alyssa replied reassuringly.

"This one's old master is dead, this one needs a new master!" the figure insisted stubbornly.

"What's the hold up?" John said insistently, as he walked into the room. 

"What the fuck?!" he blurted out, when he saw the living cartoon character.

"Are you this one's new master?" The girl asked him.

"We don't have time for this!" John said to Alyssa urgently, "We only have three minutes to get to the ship!"

Alyssa nodded and looked at the girl. "Yes, he's your new master. You need to come with us now!"

The girl clapped excitedly and then seemed to shimmer in front of their eyes. Her body grew taller, becoming slim and athletic, her massive gravity defying tits shrinking down to a much more manageable 32D. The girl's hair darkened to a rich golden blonde colour and her skin colour changed to a lovely tanned bronze. Finally the girl's face became stunningly beautiful, cerulean blue eyes drawing them in and a warm smile on her lovely full lips. The girl had transformed into an absolutely identical copy of Alyssa. 

"Would you like to use this one now master?" the girl said invitingly, sounding exactly like John's teenage lover.

Understanding suddenly dawned on John "She's a Nymph!" he exclaimed in surprise, turning to address the clone of Alyssa.

"Stop that." he ordered firmly, "Change back to your natural form and follow us." he said curtly.

"Yes master." the fake-Alyssa agreed obediently and began to shimmer again.

"We have to move, now!!" John said, snapping Alyssa out of her shocked daze.

"Sorry John, let's go!" She agreed, darting after him as he dashed out across the Pirate Lord's quarters, scooping up her assault rifle as she passed it.

Alyssa noticed movement to her side and the girl was keeping pace with them easily. Although the girl hadn't changed much in height or body type, she no longer looked like a carbon copy of Alyssa and now looked radically different. The girl now had dark green skin that seemed to catch the light and sparkle with a deep lustre, lighter coloured curving lines subtly highlighted the girls breasts and muscles. Her nails were an ethereal looking light green that almost seemed to glow and her enchanting emerald eyes had vertical cat-like irises. Finally, her long hair was a rich dark green verging almost on black and it billowed out behind her in a cloud as she sprinted along by Alyssa's side.

They dashed into the elevator and hit the button for the bottom deck and the lift began to descend.

"1 minute 50" John said, his expression worried.

The elevator seemed to take forever, although the whole trip only took five seconds. The doors finally opened and the three of them sprinted up the corridor to be met with the sounds of a fire-fight. A couple of pirates stood in the doorway, firing pistols wildly at the small group of armed captives who were ducked behind the dropship and shooting back.

*take the one on the left* John thought clearly and the two pirates slumped forward as hollow point rounds from him and Alyssa slammed into them from behind.

"Don't shoot, it's us!" John called out to the frightened captives, who cautiously lowered their weapons when they saw who was calling to them.

John, Alyssa and the girl sprinted across the hangar and ran for the dropship.

"Get in, fast!" John urged the bewildered captives, who then followed his instructions and climbed back through the airlock and into the packed dropship.

Alyssa darted through the throng of people and dived into the Pilot's seat, powering up the dropship. John followed in her wake and slumped into the co-pilots chair in the cockpit.

"One minute!" John said, looking at the counter on his watch in worry.

The Nymph pushed her way past the traders, receiving appreciative looks at her shapely naked form as she drifted by, before she came into the cockpit to sit in John's lap. John sat and watched Alyssa activating the engines, too worried to object, as the Nymph nuzzled at his neck affectionately.

The dropship lifted off the landing pad and then glided backwards, until it was over the gaping hole in the floor of the Hangar bay. Alyssa dipped the nose of the Kirrix vessel, before cranking up the engines and they dropped out of the doomed ship, gradually picking up speed.

"Ten seconds!" John exclaimed, as the dropship put more distance between them and the Stalingrad.

The Invictus moved away from the stricken Heavy Cruiser, following after the dropship and placing itself between the Kirrix vessel and the Stalingrad.

"3"

"2"

"1"

John counted down, before an almighty explosion lit up space behind them. The Power Core on the Stalingrad had gone critical and a blast wave raced out from the ship, as the 700 metre long heavy cruiser was consumed by a stupendous explosion. Debris was flung out in a huge radius from the centre of the blast zone, but fortunately the shields on the Invictus safely absorbed or deflected anything hazardous that might have been thrown in the dropships direction.

Alyssa threw John a glance, excitement shining in her eyes.

"You sure know how to show a girl an exciting time!" She joked, grinning at him with a sparkling white smile.

John grinned back at her, but was distracted by the Nymph, who was planting loving kisses on his neck.

"Stop that!" he scolded her.

Looking a little hurt, the Nymph dropped her head. "Yes, master." she said obediently.

Now safe from the blast of the exploding Heavy cruiser, Alyssa turned the dropship around and manoeuvred into position alongside the Invictus. John opened up the hull doors to the hangar bay and they moved smoothly inside the safe confines of their ship, under the beautiful blonde's skilful guidance. 

John called Calara on the watch communicator and her happy face appeared in the holo image. 

"You two had us so worried!" She exclaimed. "What kept you so long?" she asked pointedly.

"We have a new guest." John said wryly. "Don't worry, I'll explain everything later. Please can you and Sparks power up deck 4, we need the crew quarters on that level for the captives we rescued."

"Sure John, we'll get right on it." the gorgeous brunette replied. "It's good to have you back!" she said with relief and blew him a lovely kiss with her full, pouty mouth.

John smiled in return and then ended the call.

"Could you let me up please." he asked the Nymph politely, who leapt to obey.

Alyssa smiled at the green hued girl with a warm and friendly expression on her face. The Nymph smiled back at her happily.

John stood and then moved to the troop compartment that made up the bulk of the interior of the Kirrix dropship.

"You're all safe now." he said reassuringly. "We'll set you up in some comfortable living quarters while we take you to Port Heracles."

The relieved traders and Ore Haulers broke into a chorus of "Thank you Commander!" as they expressed their gratitude for their release from the pirates clutches.

John smiled graciously at their heartfelt thanks. 

"You're all welcome. We should be at Port Heracles in..." He looked to Alyssa for advice.

"around 10 hours." she interjected helpfully.

"So relax and we'll get you back to civilisation soon." John finished.

Alyssa opened up the airlock at the back of the dropship and the traders and Ore haulers began to disembark into the Hangar. John, Alyssa and the Nymph followed them outside and found Sparks waiting for them at the double doors that led to the interior of the Invictus. She waved to them with a huge grin on her face and then stopped to look curiously at their green skinned companion.

John strode up to the inquisitive redhead and wrapped her in a big hug "Thanks for saving our butts!" He said, grinning. 

Sparks smiled back at him "You're welcome handsome!" she said, but she was distracted and looked back at the Nymph "... but who's that?" she asked curiously.

"I'll explain later. Can you and Calara get these people settled on deck 4 and then come and meet us in the debriefing room on the command deck?" he asked.

"Yeah, sure John." Sparks said distantly, fascinated by the exotic alien woman.

John turned to face the people they had freed from captivity. "You won't need the guns now, can you leave them in a pile by the door when you go out please." he asked politely.

The group of civilians placed their appropriated pirate weaponry in a pile by the door, as they filed out to follow Sparks to their temporary accommodation and left John, Alyssa and the Nymph alone in the hangar bay. The three of them followed behind the throng of people, who all just about fit into the elevator and they waited behind while the elevator doors swished closed quietly. They watched the elevator rise up through the deck levels until it reach deck 4 and waited for it to empty and return back to them.

"So what's your name?" Alyssa asked the Nymph curiously, as she turned to face her. 

"This one was called bitch or slut by her last master." The green hued girl answered helpfully.

"You don't have your own name?" Alyssa asked. "Something you were called before you had a master?"

"This one does not know, it was long ago." she answered sadly. "This one would like it if master chose her a new name though." the Nymph said, smiling warmly at John.

"How about calling you Jade?" Alyssa said tentatively. "You remind me of a beautiful Jade stone I saw once, that they'd found in a mine".

The Nymph looked to John for confirmation.

"If you like it, then sure." he said to the exotic young woman.

"Jade likes her new name very much master, thank you!" The girl said, glowing with happiness.

"You don't have to have a master now," John said to her. "you can be free."

"Whatever you say master!" Jade replied, nodding eagerly.

John sighed, realising his bid to emancipate her was hopeless.

"Can I ask you something Jade?" Alyssa asked cautiously.

"Certainly Alyssa, ask whatever you wish." Jade said openly.

"Why did you turn into a copy of me when we first met you?" Alyssa wondered.

"That is the form that master considers to be female perfection." Jade replied guilelessly.

Alyssa's eyes welled up and she moved over to kiss John tenderly "I love you." she said, her voice full of emotion.

"I love you too honey," John said, "my perfect woman." He smiled and kissed her again.

A few minutes later, Alyssa turned to look at Jade once more. "You still have my physique though. It's too much of a coincidence that you have the exact same figure that I do."

Jade looked a little awkward. "This is not Jade's natural height or shape, but Jade no longer remembers what they were. It's most comfortable for this one to assume this shape, now that John is Jade's new master".

Alyssa nodded her understanding. "Wait a moment, how were you able to tell what John considers the perfect female form?" she asked perceptively.

"This one read master's mind." Jade said helpfully.

Before Alyssa could continue her interrogation, the elevator doors swished open, so they all got in and went up to the Officer's quarters. Jade followed along at their side happily as John and Alyssa went into their walk-in-wardrobe and stripped out of their combat gear and put away their weaponry. They walked out into the bathroom and got into the shower, keen to wash the sweat off their bodies after the intense action of the day.

Jade waited for them patiently outside, her eyes roaming eagerly all over John's body as she saw him naked for the first time. 

"Come and join us Jade." Alyssa said, smiling at the green girl and beckoning her into the shower.

"I'm sure I can't persuade either of you that this is a bad idea can I?" John said, knowing what Nymph's were like and how relentlessly dogmatic Alyssa could be when she had her heart set on something.

"This one will do anything master wishes." Jade responded firmly.

"XO in charge of recruitment remember!" Alyssa said, flashing him a lovely smile, her eyes twinkling mischievously. "Now come and help me get her clean." she grinned.

John soaped up his hands and then began to run them over Jade's body. Her darkly coloured skin felt just like any of the other girls in his crew: soft, velvety smooth and supple, but her body was slightly cooler to the touch than a regular human girl.

Jade sighed and moaned appreciatively at the feel of the four hands gliding over her body. Her skin was very responsive and goose bumps appeared in the wake of their gently caressing fingers.

"You're very beautiful." Alyssa said to Jade, as she traced the lighter viridian lines that highlighted the curves of Jade's big breasts.

"As are you Alyssa." Jade replied breathily.

Jade's nipples responded to the stimulation and became hard and erect, pointing upwards and eager to be touched. 

"Would it be ok to kiss you?" Alyssa asked the dark green girl curiously.

Jade's emerald coloured eyes flashed with excitement, before glancing at John. "This one would like that very much. Does master permit it?" she asked with longing. 

"Be my guest." John replied, smiling. 

He watched the two stunningly beautiful women hold each other gently, their identical full breasts squashing together wetly. Alyssa leaned in slowly and the two of them began to kiss sensually, full lips brushing against each other as the women explored one another's bodies. His cock rose to full attention at the erotic display and he had to fight hard not to just grab one of the girls and satisfy his growing lust. He knew either of them would be delighted to accommodate him, which made it even harder to resist, but he wanted to let them get to know each other. Instead, he just let his hands cup their firm round buttocks and enjoyed feeling their pliant flesh as he squeezed their pert posteriors gently.

The sound of voices coming from the bedroom tore his attention away from Jade and Alyssa for a moment and he turned to see Calara and Sparks stroll into the bathroom.

"Oh wow!" Calara gasped in amazement, seeing the new arrival for the first time. 

"I thought we were meeting up on the bridge?" Sparks said, her eyes sparkling with amusement.

"We got a bit distracted, sorry." John apologised.

"No need to apologise." Sparks said as both girls grinned at each other and began to strip off their clothing in a flurry of cascading garments.

"Room for two more?" Calara asked seductively as she sashayed up to the shower.

"The more the merrier." John grinned, feasting his eyes on the wide selection of pert young flesh before him.

He stood aside to make room for the sultry redhead and the gorgeous brunette. Calara led the way and approached the kissing couple.

"May I?" She asked tentatively to the girls.

Alyssa pulled away from her tender kisses with Jade and sighed happily "Oh please do, she's an amazing kisser!".

Jade glanced John's way and he smiled at her, nodding. The Nymph beamed back at him, her smile lighting up her face like a ray of sunshine in a forest. She turned towards the olive skinned Latina and opened her arms invitingly.

Calara stepped forward into that welcoming embrace and then tilted her head slightly so that she could begin to kiss Jade with gentle, probing kisses. Alyssa moved behind the green hued girl and began to kiss her neck and shoulders, eliciting breathy moans from Jade as she was sandwiched between the sensuous teenagers.

John's attention was dragged away from the steamy encounter by Sparks, who moved smoothly into his arms. She kissed him passionately, her tongue diving into his mouth for him to duel with his own. She broke away for a moment and looked into his eyes, her own pupils dilated with lust.

"Thank you for finding us a new friend," she said heatedly, glancing over her shoulder at the dark skinned alien. "and a very sexy one at that!" she said emphatically.

The redhead pressed up against him, feeling his hugely swollen cock throbbing against her slim, youthful tummy. John brought his hands down to cup her perfectly rounded bottom, spreading her taut cheeks slightly which made her gasp. He moved his finger between them and gently began to rub her anus in a light circular motion.

"Very soon." he promised, looking into her eyes.

Sparks looked back at him, her eyes flaring excitedly. She leaned in to whisper in his ear.

"I want to really feel it. I want you to make me scream." she gasped, her eyes flashing dangerously.

John leaned in to kiss her ear, before taking her lobe between his teeth, nibbling and tugging at it gently. Sparks hissed with excitement, and she writhed against him. 

Before he got so turned on that he mounted her deliciously tight little virgin ass right there and then, John pulled away from her slightly.

"Go and say hi to your new shipmate." he said encouragingly. 

Sparks bit her lip and moaned in arousal, turning towards the entwined female figures behind her. Calara stepped to the side making room for the redhead, who moved in eagerly, overcharged with lust as she was. John was waiting for Jade to ask permission, so when she glanced his way, he nodded enthusiastically and her viridescent eyes flashed with excitement. 

Sparks looked down to see her beautiful bronzed breasts rub up against the dark green cleavage of the voluptuous alien girl and she panted excitedly. She still hadn't got completely used to her new body yet and her gravity defying boobs slid deliciously over Jade's equally pliant breasts, causing her to gasp as her nipples hardened with arousal.

Calara and Alyssa left their young lover to get acquainted with Jade and moved to flank John on either side, pushing their luscious breasts into his muscular chest. They stood on tiptoe and whispered naughty things in his ears.

"She's beautiful, thank you for bringing her home."

"She's going to look so good wrapped around you."

"I can't wait to find out what she tastes like."

"I want to see her with a belly full of your cum."

John panted with lust, barely able to control himself. He now had four beautiful women with him, any of which he could take in whatever way he felt like. The heady rush of power and surge to his ego was intoxicating.

He opened the door to the shower, words failing him for the moment. All four women looked at him and seeing his ardent desire, moved quickly out of the huge cubicle. John wasn't sure where to start for a moment and so the girls helped him make his decision. Calara and Sparks stood on either side of Jade and Alyssa hugged her from behind. All three moved a slender hand over to rub Jade's slim stomach suggestively looking at him with lusty eyes. 

John was powerless to resist that look from so many beautiful women, so he sat on the edge of the bath and beckoned Jade over to him. 

"Kneel please." he asked her gently.

Jade smiled at him adoringly and sank to her knees between his legs. 

"It will be an honour for this one to service you master." she said passionately, before reaching up her hands to gently stroke his taut, tightly packed quad.

"This one's master is so virile!" she exclaimed breathily as she felt the hefty weight of his sack and panted with lust.

John could hold out no longer and he held out his hands to grasp the beautiful alien's head in both hands. He had heard about the legendary skills of Nymphs and he was eager to put one to the test. Jade opened her mouth wide and swallowed his entire length in one long, toe curling motion. 





Three Square Meals Ch. 16



"Oh fuck that's good!" John cried out, his body aching for relief at the hands or should he say throat, of this willing woman. 

Jade moved up and down him in a fluid movement, the muscles in her neck wrapped tightly around him and fitted to him like a second skin. Her throat began to ripple, gently massaging and teasing his cock as it plunged in and out of her body, causing him to moan as his body felt overloaded by hedonistic pleasure.

He ran his fingers through her silky soft dark green hair, enjoying the amazing tactile sensation through his fingers as the long strands brushed over his fingertips. He tore his gaze away from the girl who was sucking and stroking him so hungrily, to look at the other three girls. They were kneeling to the sides and behind Jade, all fingering their wet little pussies and panting with excitement. 

They all looked up at him and he stared into four sets of enchanting eyes; emerald, light blue, cerulean and deep brown, all completely focused on him and his pleasure.

Faced with that kind of open adoration, he could only throw his head back and explode down Jade's throat, long spurts of his semen pumping into her darkly toned body. After missing his morning relief, he had built up a massive load and Jade greedily swallowed down her debauched feast. 

The three spectating teenagers rubbed their clits furiously and all came simultaneously, the sight of John emptying his balls into this exotic alien girl the trigger to push them over the edge. 

Alyssa's consciousness seemed to light up like a Christmas tree, as she felt the lustful emotions from Calara's, Sparks' and John's presences in her mind. What really shocked her was the sudden instant appearance of a strange new manifestation, which was unmistakeably alien and obviously belonging to Jade. The harmonious chorus of so much pleasure from everyone in her mind, caused her eyes to roll back in her head and she cried out her own release.

After John's orgasm stretched on for what seemed like an eternity, he could no longer take any more stimulation. Jade had been sucking on him non-stop with unceasing and unwavering suction and he had nothing left to give her.

"No more..." he croaked, "...feels too good." he groaned, his body at its sensual limit. 

She let him slide all the way out of her throat and mouth, her dark green tongue licking his length as he pulled out of her. He wavered for a moment, thinking he might fall, but he managed to retain his balance. Collecting himself, he slowly rose and offered his hands for Calara and Sparks to take and they rose gracefully, looking at him with contented smiles. Next he helped Alyssa stand, who seemed practically catatonic and finally Jade who was stroking her hugely inflated abdomen.

"Master is so potent." she sighed, deliriously happy.

Her tongue flickered out and tasted the cum his withdrawing cock had brushed over her lips and she savoured his semen with her discerning taste buds. Her eyes widened in astonishment and she licked her lips again, desperate to savour more of his sperm. She looked down at her belly in wonder, stroking it in disbelief. She was about to speak to her master to tell him what she had discovered when he looked into her eyes.

"Come on, you should rest" he said to her warmly. 

Jade suddenly felt overcome with the desire to sleep and she padded after him obediently to the bedroom. She curled up on the bed and fell asleep almost instantaneously.

John lay down next to her and the teenage girls moved in to cuddle up with him. Alyssa took his right side with Sparks draped over her and Calara snuggled in behind Jade, stroking her verdant belly comfortingly.

John had just closed his eyes and was relaxing in the afterglow of his incredible climax when Calara suddenly gasped with surprise.

"Look!" she called out, her eyes transfixed on the alien girl's stomach. She carefully removed her hand and the others could suddenly see what had so startled her.

Waves of viridian lines were spreading out over the woman's body, like ripples in a lake after dropping in a stone. The focal point was the centre of her tummy and they swept out smoothly to follow the contours of the girl's torso before running all the way up her arms and down her legs.

"What's happening to her?" Calara asked in amazement, but no-one had the answer.

"I better tell you what I do know about our new companion." John sighed.



Three Square Meals Ch. 17



John sat with his back against the headboard and Alyssa, Sparks and Calara sat on the bed in a semicircle in front of him, watching as he began his tale. Jade lay curled up comfortably on her side, her beautiful dark green body rippling with the ethereal bands of light that were radiating out from her swollen belly.

"Now gather around little girls and let me begin..." he said in creaking voice, as though he was a wizened old storyteller.

The three teenagers giggled and the room echoed with the beautiful melodic cadence of female laughter. The wonderful sound made John feel happy to be alive.

"Jade here is what is known as a Nymph." He began.

"I thought they were just fictional creatures in fairy tales?" Calara asked sceptically.

"Yeah they are. Nymph is just a nickname, like the Ashanath are nicknamed Greys." he explained.

The girls all nodded their understanding.

"Do you remember I told you how humanity started taking previously claimed worlds from the Ashanath?" John asked, receiving nods of confirmation from his lovers.

"Well one of those systems that the Terran Federation acquired, was orbited by a planet called Lenarra. This planet was sparsely populated by Lenarrans, who were an exclusively female species and lived in a primitive hunter gatherer society." he explained.

"Why do you keep using the past tense?" Alyssa asked curiously.

"One of the quirks of Lenarrans, is that they possess latent psychic powers. They are naturally able to read the desires of males and then shapeshift to exactly resemble what that man finds most attractive". He paused, making sure he had their attention.

"What did Jade turn into when she read your most heartfelt desires?" Sparks asked John inquisitively.

"Me." Alyssa interjected quietly, embarrassed.

"Aww that's so sweet!" Sparks replied, hugging her friend affectionately.

"You don't mind?" The beautiful blonde asked tentatively, worried at hurting her friend's feelings.

"We know how much he cares for us, but it's obvious you two are made for each other." Calara grinned at Alyssa, perfectly at ease with the reality of their situation. 

This prompted lots of hugs and kind words of endearment. Eventually they all settled down again to let John continue his story.

"So when humanity first discovered the planet and the Lenarrans started shifting into whatever form men most desired, you can imagine what happened next." he went on.

"A Nymph based gold rush?" Sparks asked quietly.

"Exactly. Pretty soon the entire populace had been wooed, or forcibly kidnapped from the planet. Now there's not a single Nymph left on Lenarra." he said sorrowfully.

"So what happened to the ones taken from the planet?" Calara asked curiously.

"Not many are left." John said, his voice tinged with sadness.

"Nymphs can't breed with humans and although they are incredibly long lived, most died off through accidents, murder and the like." he said, his face filled with regret at the doleful behaviour of humanity towards this species.

"When did all this happen?" Alyssa asked.

"Around 300 years ago." John said, shocking the teenagers to the core.

"Jade is 300 years old?" Calara said in stunned amazement.

"At least 300 years old, yes." John replied.

"You would never guess. She doesn't look a day over 200!" Alyssa joked, good naturedly.

"How do you know all this stuff?" Sparks asked in amazement.

"Well you've probably guessed by now I'm not entirely human." he said, smiling at her gently.

Sparks laughed good naturedly. "And, I'm constantly thankful for it!" she grinned.

"Well my mother was human, but I have no idea what species my Father was. I spent a good 15 years or so researching all I could about every alien species known to man, trying to find any kind of clue, but I found nothing." he said, sighing.

"But as a side effect of that, you know a lot of history about a lot of aliens?" Calara asked.

"Yes, basically." John nodded.

"Handy fellow to have around then." Sparks said, grinning at him.

"Yes I agree. Ladies, I think we should keep him" Alyssa said imperiously, which led to a furious round of tickling by John.

"So what's happening to Jade's tummy?" Calara asked with concern, while Alyssa gasped for breath once John had released her.

"She's got to be reacting to your cum somehow." Sparks surmised.

"Yeah, but reacting how?" John asked, concerned for the green alien girl. 

"We'll just have to ask her when she wakes up I suppose." Sparks shrugged "She might be able to tell us more."

"I guess we don't have much choice." John said with a resigned expression on his face.

"Hey, don't worry so much!" Sparks said, smiling at him happily. "Look what it did for us three! I can't imagine it will do anything bad to her."

Calara nodded eagerly, remembering how quickly her terrible wounds had recovered under John's tender ministrations.

"I wonder why she talks the way she does?" Calara asked curiously. "Is all the 'master' talk some kind of fetish thing?"

"Oh no, that's completely sincere. Nymphs are unquestioningly obedient to whoever they imprint themselves on. Desire to abuse that was one of the things that led to their effective enslavement by humanity." John explained sadly.

"Which was why you were initially reluctant with her?" Alyssa asked perceptively.

"Yes." John replied simply.

"She's the first Nymph I've met, but I'd heard all the legends. I was hoping to somehow free her, but it's obvious to me now that's just the way she is." he said with regret.

"So she's unquestioningly loyal and obedient?" Calara asked.

"Sounds like us." Alyssa grinned.

"She'll fit right in." Sparks giggled.

John laughed along with them, but something nagged in his mind suddenly. A kernel of truth in the girl's statements that seemed to resonate within him. Shaking his head at the odd sensation, he ignored it and it went away. 

He stretched languidly, feeling great after the relaxing shower and then the fun with Jade. He glanced over at the clock, having lost track of what the time was. His daily routine was constantly shot to pieces over the last few days; literally in this case.

"Are you girls ready for a late lunch?" he asked them enthusiastically.

"Ready to go already John?" Calara purred suggestively, rubbing her coffee coloured stomach in anticipation.

"You're getting as bad as Alyssa!" John laughed and Calara laughed with him, her lovely brown eyes sparkling with amusement.

"No, I meant I'll make us some lunch in the kitchen." He clarified.

"Besides, I'm running on empty!" he grinned at Calara.

"You better refuel then." Sparks told him. "You have four girls to feed now!" she said impishly.

They all got dressed except for Alyssa, who stayed in bed.

"I want to stay and keep an eye on Jade." the beautiful blonde explained.

"I think I'll check on our guests, to see how they're settling in." Sparks volunteered.

"I'll go up to the bridge and check to see if there's anything on the long range scans." Calara said.

"Afraid not Lieutenant, I need a helper in the kitchen." he said, smiling at her warmly.

"Yes Commander!" the gorgeous brunette said, snapping him a sharp salute and a smile.

They headed out of the bedroom, leaving Alyssa alone with Jade and her thoughts. 

The beautiful blonde curled up behind Jade and wrapped her in a hug. With the others now gone, along with their distracting albeit entertaining conversation, she now felt free to investigate the new presence in her mind. 

All of her lovers had their own little pockets reserved for them in her consciousness. John was centre stage of course, a comforting constant, with his ever present stream of thoughts from his inner voice. The small bundles of emotion that represented Sparks and Calara were growing daily and every so often Alyssa had been getting fleeting glimpses of words, whenever the girls felt passionately enough about anything.

This new manifestation was something new and very different. Whereas Calara and Sparks seemed like small bundles of nebulous swirls of emotion, Jade's presence was sharp and well defined. It had appeared with shocking abruptness, the very moment John had cum inside the alien girl. 

The connection with Jade had manifested into a hard edged, rectangular shape, filled with tiny fragments of what looked like coloured stones. The fragments had reformed into a mosaic, depicting John standing in a heroic pose, while Jade knelt at his feet looking up at him worshipfully. Instinctively Alyssa knew that the ecstatically happy image of Jade's beaming face, would reflect her new companion's current mood. How she knew this, Alyssa had no idea, but with all the other weird stuff happening recently, she just shrugged and accepted it.

Feeling at peace with the new presence, she tucked it into its own little place beside John in her mind, sensing it slotting into place with a satisfying ethereal click.

"Yes, you'll fit in just fine." she whispered, smiling at Jade. She kissed the green skinned girl's cheek lovingly, before wrapping her arms around the luscious Nymph in a protective embrace. 

John and Calara walked hand in hand down the corridor towards the officer's quarters, bidding Sparks farewell, as the sultry redhead stayed behind to wait for the elevator. John led Calara into the lounge and then sat down on one of the sofa's, pulling a surprised Calara to sit astride him. The gorgeous young brunette moved lithely on to his lap and looked down at him coyly.

"I thought you needed to refuel?" she said, smiling at him.

"I do." John replied, smiling back at her warmly.

"So why the detour from the kitchen?" the Latina asked curiously.

"Not that I'm complaining of course!" she grinned, as she rubbed her firm bounteous breasts against his chest.

John reached up to gently cup each side of her ravishingly beautiful face in his hands and pulled her down so that he could kiss her tenderly. Calara returned his kisses before he released her and she leaned back, sighing happily.

"I wanted to have a chat with you first." he began.

"What about?" Calara asked curiously.

"Everything that's gone on with the pirates." John said to her. "I've been worried about you."

Calara slumped a little in his arms, relaxing her previously perfect composure. "I've been a bit obsessed recently haven't I?" She admitted honestly.

John nodded his agreement with her.

"It's understandable honey, after everything you went through." John said reassuringly.

"Revenge can become an obsession though and I was starting to worry about you." he explained.

"It wasn't revenge I was after exactly..." Calara said, struggling to find the words. "I just wanted to stop the same thing happening to anyone else."

"And you did." John said. "The rest of us all played our part, but the entire attack on the pirate base only happened after you managed to put together the location." he said proudly.

Calara smiled happily, glowing under his praise.

"Do you feel you can move on now?" John asked with concern. "I've been worried that this has been haunting you." he said honestly.

Calara nodded slowly. "It feels... done." she said in reply. "When you healed my wounds, you got rid of the physical aftermath, but this feels like it's healed the emotional pain too." she said earnestly.

"That's all I wanted to hear." John said, smiling at her happily.

"Wait a minute..." Calara said, her mind rapidly turning over the events of the last few days. "The attack on the pirate base, hunting down that pirate lord..." She looked at him sharply. "You did all this just for my benefit didn't you!" she said, her eyes widening in sudden realisation.

"Well they did have to be stopped..." John said, trying to deflect her.

"The Terran Federation could have sent a fleet that would have stopped them with ease" she said, waving her hand dismissively, her mind still racing.

"Sparks and Alyssa were in on it too, weren't they!" Calara gasped in shock. "You all put your lives in danger, just to make me feel better!"

"I sometimes forget just how smart all of you are." John said fondly, caressing the brunette's cheek as she sat there in stunned silence.

"We... I care about you honey." he explained. "Nothing is more important to me than making sure you're ok".

"Oh John... " Calara sighed, sinking into his welcoming arms. "You're just too perfect. What did I ever do to deserve being part of your life?".

"You're pretty much perfect yourself!" John smiled, stroking her soft thick hair as she laid her head on his shoulder.

"Beautiful, caring, intelligent, perceptive, the best tactical officer I've ever seen!" he said enthusiastically.

Calara's body suddenly stiffened and she sat up in his lap, looking at him askance.

"I'm not though." She said insistently.

"Sure you are, you're absolutely amazing!" John said earnestly.

"No, I'm actually not" the Latina said, her eyes narrowing as she looked at him.

John looked at her in confusion, not sure what she was saying.

"When I left the Academy I was doing really well, definitely top 10% of my year, but nothing truly exceptional." she said in self deprecation.

"You've just gotten better with experience." John suggested dismissively.

"Until you pointed it out, I hadn't even noticed." Her eyes went wide with wonder, as her mind closely examined the events over the last few weeks.

"John, I practically never miss!" She said, urging him to understand.

"No-one shoots like that... not ever!" she said, stunned at this revelation.

"I've reviewed countless hours of naval battles during my time at the Academy and I'm telling you, my hit record blows any human in our archives out of the water!" she said in amazement.

"The tactical analysis, breaking down the pirates attack routes, finding the base..." she said.

"Yeah that was incredible!" John said, shaking his head in appreciation.

"The Terran Federation has entire teams who do that kind of analysis and I put it together by myself in just a few days!" she exclaimed.

"Then there's this conversation!" she said, her arms spread wide. "How am I having this epiphany? I've never been this perceptive or smart!" she insisted.

"Ok so what are you saying?" John asked confused, "You've suddenly got much better at everything?"

"Yes, exactly!" Calara grinned at him. "We've all been so distracted by the physical changes that these," she said, moving her hips back so she could gently cup his quad with her hand. "have had on us. We've been missing that there have been amazing mental changes too!"

John's eyes widened to match Calara's own, shocked at how clear it was to him now.

"It's not just you." he said. "Did you hear Sparks say how she hacked the security subsystems on the Stalingrad?"

"Yeah I know!" Calara exclaimed. "At the time I was busy and just shrugged it off, but there's no way she should have been able to do that. We're talking about military grade encryption!"

"She's naturally gifted with machinery, but yeah, I think she's been 'enhanced' just like you have" John agreed.

They sat for a moment just trying to process the news.

"Don't mention it to the other girls yet." John asked her gently. "Once we've dropped off the civilians, let's get together as a group and talk about it then."

Calara nodded her agreement and he smiled at her affectionately.

"Thank you John." The gorgeous brunette said sincerely.

"I can't really claim credit, it was my four friends that did most of the work!" John grinned.

Calara laughed. "No I don't mean that, but thanks to them too. What I meant was: Thank you for this conversation and for making sure I was ok."

John opened his arms and Calara hugged him tightly as he stroked her back, holding her close to his chest. They both breathed a contented sigh at the same time and then laughed at being so in sync.

"Come on, let's go and make some lunch." John said, sitting up and helping Calara off his lap. They walked hand in hand to the kitchen.

Sparks meanwhile had taken the elevator down to deck four. She had taken a tour around the entire ship with John, but they had skipped this level. The fourth deck contained the crew quarters and the ship's mess, but with the Invictus having such a small crew, there was no need to even have any of the subsystems on this level powered up.

Sparks laughed to herself when she realised she hadn't actually set foot in her own quarters, since John and Alyssa had shown her around that first time. She had spent almost her entire time on the command deck, or in the Officer's lounge and she had slept every night in the commander's quarters cuddled up with her lovers.

The elevator chimed softly and the door swished open, rousing Sparks from her reverie.

"Time to check on the houseguests." she thought to herself.

She strode purposefully down the corridor until she came to the first of the occupied rooms. They currently had 15 people staying with them, a ragtag bunch of traders and ore haulers that had been captured by the pirates to be used as hostages.

A bulky man in a tired looking, many pocketed, set of overalls was lying on the bed with his hands folded behind his head, staring at the ceiling. 

"Hey! Everything ok?" Sparks asked in a friendly voice.

The man looked down from the ceiling and when he saw her, he sprang up from the bed looking embarrassed. "Err, sure... I'm fine, thanks miss." he stuttered.

"What's your name?" the redhead asked the blushing man curiously.

"Geoff McIntyre, Engineer 2nd class on the Dolphin." he muttered quietly.

"Oh! My names Sparks, I'm the Chief Engineer on the Invictus!" She said, excited to meet another gearhead.

"You're the Chief Engineer?" Geoff asked dubiously.

"Yes, is that a problem?" Sparks said, feeling a little defensive all of a sudden.

"Err no, you just look like..." he stumbled, blushing.

"Go on..." she said, her eyes narrowing dangerously.

"Like a model!" Geoff blurted out. "I've never seen anyone so beautiful!" he clamped his mouth closed, surprised at his own outburst.

"Ohhh! Thanks Geoff!" Sparks said smiling warmly, disarmed by his simple honesty. Horrifically scarred for most of her life, she was quite unused to compliments.

"I really am the Chief Engineer, honestly." she said to him.

"And your name's Sparks?" Geoff asked curiously, relaxing a little.

"You don't like my name now?" Sparks asked him, laughing.

"No, no, it's just a funny name for someone who looks the way you do!" Geoff replied, blushing again and smiling.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to cause any offence!" he said in a rush, desperate not to offend this gorgeous young woman.

"None taken." The redhead replied and smiled at him warmly.

They chatted for a little while, talking shop about power couplings and energy relays. When it was apparent to Geoff that Sparks really did know what she was talking about, he relaxed around her and they had a detailed technical discussion that she would have liked to continue but she eventually ran out of time. She said goodbye and went to check on the rest of their guests, having thoroughly enjoyed chatting with the man.

The rest of the people in the crew quarters were similarly cagey around her, but not having much time left before she went up for lunch with John, she just said hello and left them in peace. She had powered up the dining area in the ship's mess, which was thoroughly stocked and invited them to use the place to make their own lunch.

Sparks left the deck and travelled up in the elevator to meet with her friends for lunch. She was surprised at how her new beauty seemed to make all those people, both men and women, uncomfortable. She had always been envious of the beautiful models she had seen on the Holo-net, but maybe being stunningly attractive came with its own set of complications. Still, it had been an interesting visit and the conversation with Geoff had given her some things to think about. 




Three Square Meals Ch. 18



The impenetrable blackness of John's sleep began to brighten, as his unconscious mind realised with some trepidation that he was experiencing another dream. The swirling ethereal eddies of the dream world began to coalesce into a distinctive form and then abruptly they snapped into sharp focus.

John was bestride a world, vast numbers of subjugated women kneeling at his feet in worship. Scattered around him were the husks of minions he had used up and cast aside, casually discarded when they were no longer useful for his schemes. 

A sinister lurking presence gloated in the ether, applauding John as he seized his birthright. The stygian abomination suddenly paused, its smug demeanour dissipating as it stared at him, unseen eyes boring into his consciousness and causing John to writhe in terror.

The malignant presence seemed to scrutinise the scene around him closely and John could sense it's revulsion. He looked down and saw that instead of the vast legions of women, there were four. Rather than eviscerated husks, the women were simply sleeping, serene contentment on their faces.

Dark tendrils formed out of the unending darkness, coiling and undulating with sickening and twisted purpose. John stared through fearful eyes and saw a multitude of barbed hooks topping each writhing cord of blackness as they approached him.

John thought all hope lost when suddenly a faint nimbus of light began to pool at his feet, slowly enveloping him in it's comforting effervescence. 

The abyssal tendrils struck and John flinched against their terrible intent, the gleaming ebony hooks slashing at him with a hungry desire to feast upon his flesh. They were suddenly brought up short, clawing in vain against the soft glow that swathed him. The shadowy presence roared with impotent rage and then in an instant John was snapped back into wakefulness.

"Ahhh! Fuck me!" He blurted, his heart racing and his breathing laboured as he sat bolt upright.

Desperate to regain a sense of order against the chaos of the dream, he rushed to adopt a meditative pose and took a long deep breath into his hammering chest. He gradually released it slowly, gathering his focus and centring himself. Repeating this twice more and he felt he was back in control, the terrors of the dream world now seeming insubstantial and no longer a concern.

John opened his eyes and looked about him, seeing the four girls snuggled up on the bed. He smiled contentedly when he recalled the events of the previous evening, proud that he had been able to satisfy each of the lovely young women. He looked over at Jade, her dark green skin rippling with rings of soft verdant light, as they spread out over her body. Jade had adopted an almost identical body shape to Alyssa, youthful, lithe and athletic. Jade was beautiful in her own way; her dainty features seemed both cute and innocent, rather than elegant and seductive. Although she was certainly well over three centuries old, John couldn't help but think of her as a young woman, like the other teenagers surrounding him.

He settled back on the bed and tucked his arms under the girls, his warm presence causing them to burrow in closer to him with blissful sighs. Feeling at peace and no longer worried about the otherworldly interruption to his night's rest, he drifted off to sleep once again.

The next morning everyone began to gradually awaken, until all five of them were happily snuggled up together under the covers. John looked down to see four beautiful sets of eyes looking up at him and once again he felt lucky to be alive. 

"Good morning ladies!" he said cheerfully, to a chorus of good mornings in return.

"Calara and I had a really interesting discussion yesterday and now I have you all here, with no interruptions for once, I thought it would be a good chance to discuss things." he said reasonably.

The girls all looked intrigued, throwing off the covers so they could sit up in a semicircle in front of him.

"How are you feeling this morning Jade?" He asked, with concern.

He looked at the dark green girl and saw her skin catching the light in places, sparkling with a dull lustre. He saw that her stomach had returned to its previous svelte form and except for the viridian swirls that highlighted her luscious curves, the strange pulsing circles had disappeared.

"This one feels wonderful master!" She said cheerfully.

"Do you remember what happened with your stomach yesterday?" he asked curiously.

"Yes master, Jade remembers swallowing your delicious seed." she said enthusiastically.

"How about anything else, the rippling circles on your body maybe?" John asked her.

"No master, this one would have remembered something like that." Jade said with certainty.

"Would you mind swallowing my cum again this morning please?" he asked her politely. "I'd like to try a little experiment." he said mysteriously.

"Of course master!" She said, clapping her hands together excitedly.

Jade's eyes sparkled with delight and she moved to kneel in front of him. She curled one of her hands under his length and then brought his growing erection to her lips, kissing his head lovingly before she sank down, enveloping him in her mouth.

"That's the most roundabout way of asking for a blowjob I've ever heard!" Alyssa said with a laugh.

The other girls joined her good spiritedly laughter and then leaned forward to stroke Jade's exotic body, causing her to purr in delight, the sound muffled by John's cock sinking into her throat. John relaxed, enjoying the wonderful sensations rippling up and down his length.

"So what's this experiment John?" Sparks asked curiously.

John ran his hand's through Jade's hair, feeling the silky softness and letting the black strands slip through his fingers, the light picking up the hint of green in her lustrous locks. He smiled contentedly and then looked at Sparks.

"Sorry honey, I got a bit distracted." he said, sighing happily as Jade bobbed worshipfully in his lap. "Do you remember how you used to drift into a daze the first few times you went down on me?" He asked her.

"Yeah I remember." Sparks replied. "On the third time I think it was, I shrugged off this feeling of sleepiness and then found your monster cock shoved down my throat!" She said, laughing.

John looked towards Calara. 

"It was about the third or fourth one, I can't really recall." she said, her head tilted to the side as she tried to remember. "I spent a lot of time on my knees for a couple of weeks!" she said with a grin on her lovely olive skinned face.

"It was during my fourth time" Alyssa said, smiling at him fondly. 

"Oh I see!" Sparks said, suddenly understanding. "This will be third time you've filled up Jade and you're hoping she will snap out of it the same way?" The redhead asked him.

"Well she seems to have been a bit more resilient to the effects. She didn't go into a daze for one thing, but we'll see." he replied.

John looked down at the beautiful green hued Alien, who was lovingly stroking his cock in and out of her mouth and throat, her tongue doing extraordinary things as it danced along his length.

"Sorry Jade for talking above you like this." John said apologetically, as he moved her curtain of hair to the side so that he could look into her sparkling emerald eyes.

Jade's eyes twinkled up at him happily, the corners of her widely stretched mouth turning up into a smile and John instinctively knew he was forgiven. The look in her eyes turned hungry and she stared up at him unblinking, as she increased the pace with the tight grip of her throat. John stared right back, his hips moving gently as he felt the urge to come rising in his balls. Finally he couldn't hold back any longer and his quad clenched as they began to shoot their load into Jade's waiting stomach. Jade's eyes still remained unblinking, but the vertical irises in her cat-like eyes flared as she felt him pumping his cum into her and her eyelids lowered, growing heavy with lust. John finished riding the rush of his protracted climax and felt light headed after such extreme sensations, before Jade relented the suction and let him slip from her mouth.

"Master is so good to Jade." She sighed contentedly. 

"Oh!" she gasped cutely as she sat up and noticed the concentric rings of light pulsing outwards from her hugely swollen belly.

"This has never happened to Jade before master!" she exclaimed with shocked surprise.

She seemed fascinated by the ethereal viridian lines that glowed mysteriously as they travelled over her body. She held out her arm and watched one of the ripples of light travel down the full length and up to her fingertips, shivering as it completed its journey.

"Are you ok Jade?" John asked with concern.

"This one knew master was potent, but this is beyond Jade's wildest dreams!" she said excitedly.

"Do you know what's happening to you?" Calara asked, moving in close and stroking the green skinned girl's stomach comfortingly.

"This one feels master's power... Jade feels... stronger." The Nymph said, struggling to for words as a shiver ran down her spine.

Jade ran her tongue over her lips sensually, tasting the cum that John had brushed on them as he had pulled back from her body. 

"Oh!" the green skinned girl gasped as she remembered what she had discovered the previous night.

"Master!" She blurted out. "Jade has wonderful news!" she said excitedly.

"Go ahead Jade, what's up?" John said, intrigued. 

"Master and Jade are genetically compatible! Master may breed with this one if he desires!" She said ecstatically.

"But I thought..." John mumbled, before shaking his head. "I thought Nymphs weren't compatible with humans?"

"Master is definitely not human." Jade said with absolute conviction. 

"Do you know what I am then?" John asked, hope suddenly burning brightly in his chest that the green skinned girl might somehow hold the answers to his decades long question.

"No, but Master feels... familiar." Jade replied haltingly.

The other three girls remained spellbound by this entire interaction between John and the strange alien girl. Alyssa suddenly thought of something.

"Jade, are there many species that Nymphs are able to breed with?" she asked tentatively.

"No Alyssa, there are none." She said with finality.

A puzzled look crossed the beautiful blonde's face. "You're entire species is female though right? How do Nymphs breed normally?" she asked curiously.

"Nymphs do not." Jade replied solemnly. 

"Wait, what?" Sparks cut in. "If your species can't breed, how did all the Nymphs appear on..." she stopped, struggling to remember the name. 

"Lenarra." Calara supplied helpfully. 

"That's it, thanks!" The redhead said appreciatively to Calara. "How did all the Nymphs appear on Lenarra if you can't even breed with each other?" Sparks asked the dark hued girl, confused.

"This one is sorry Sparks, it happened too long ago for Jade to remember." The nymph replied, spreading her hands helplessly.

"Do you know how old you are exactly?" Calara asked gently.

"This one does not know." Jade replied apologetically.

She turned back to face John and looked at him with deep longing in her eyes. "Would master wish to breed with this one?" she asked, her voice trembling and filled with hope.

John looked startled at the blunt question. His eyes darted to Calara and Alyssa who were both gazing at him with doe eyed looks on their faces and he recalled the promise he had made to them weeks before. He glanced at Sparks and was shocked to see the same expression on her face too.

He turned his focus back to Jade who waited patiently for his answer. He instinctively knew that if he refused, it would crush the guileless young alien woman, but he had only met her yesterday! 

Reading the conundrum burning in his mind, Alyssa decided to intercede.

"John's already said that he'd like to have a baby with Calara and I, but we have to wait until he's ready. Perhaps when that time comes, you could ask him again?" she suggested gently.

"Please accept this one's apologies Alyssa. Jade was so excited at the news, this one forgot that he already had beautiful mates." She said with a bowed head. 

"There's nothing to apologise for Jade." Alyssa said with a friendly smile and moved to wrap the girl in a tender embrace. 

Calara moved forward to hug the green skinned girl too and Jade relaxed when she saw the Latina's reassuring smile.

"Wait a minute!" Sparks blurted. "John agreed to knock both of you up?! When did that happen?" She asked, bewildered.

John flashed Alyssa an annoyed look and she shrugged at him helplessly. He suddenly realised that Alyssa had done the best thing she could to help him out of a tight spot. He did really like Jade, but he barely knew her!

*Sorry honey, you handled that well* he apologised.

"It happened before you came on board Sparks." Calara said to the redhead.

"I was going to speak to you about it, but John asked me not to." Alyssa said. "He was worried that you had enough to deal with at the time." she said, smiling fondly at her man.

Sparks looked them in turn, realising that they were only acting with her best interests at heart and she smiled at them all warmly.

"Let's discuss this later." John said, throwing a pointed glace in Jade's direction.

The girls all nodded their agreement. 

"Ok now all that's out the way, let me get back to what I wanted to talk to you all about in the first place!" John said, smiling at just how much they had been sidetracked.

"Calara and I had a long chat yesterday and we realised something interesting. Do you want to explain honey?" He asked the Latina.

Calara nodded eagerly and then turned to face Alyssa and Sparks. Jade had curled up on her side, stroking her belly full of John's cum and looking up at him adoringly, as glowing bands of light pulsed around her body.

"Firstly, I just want to say thank you so much for putting your lives in danger against the pirates, just to give me a sense of closure!" The brunette said, still reeling from how much her lovers had been willing to sacrifice for her emotional wellbeing.

Alyssa and Sparks moved to embrace the overwhelmed Latina. 

"We'd do anything for you." Alyssa said lovingly.

"Sisters do that." Sparks said vehemently, hugging her tightly.

Calara gulped down the lump in her throat, her eyes welling with emotion, as the three teenagers hugged each other fiercely.

Sensing that the lovely brunette was lost for words for the moment, John waited for them to pull apart from their hug and then continued the discussion for her.

"Calara and I were talking and she noticed something that we've all pretty much missed. We've been so focused on all the wonderful physical changes you've been going through, we'd missed that you've been going through mental changes too" he said, raising the subject tentatively.

"What do you mean?" Sparks asked curiously.

"Well Calara noticed that she's become much brighter and more perceptive than ever before. You also can't have failed to notice her uncannily accurate shooting against the pirates and the Kirrix?" John asked, wondering just how much the other girls had picked up on.

"Yeah, she's a hell of a good shot." Alyssa conceded. "I think I only saw her miss a handful of times in hours of combat!"

"No-one's that good." Calara stated firmly.

"So what are you saying exactly? You've been turned into some kind of super accurate, tactical genius?" Sparks said, her eyebrows furrowed at how ludicrous it sounded.

"Well I wouldn't go that far, but I've never heard of anyone maintaining this kind of hit percentage." Calara explained. "At the very least, my spatial awareness and reflexes have been greatly enhanced. Also, the way I was able to track down the pirate base would take a team of analysts weeks to discover."

"And you did it on your own in about a week." Sparks said, nodding her understanding.

"Oh! Oh! What about Alyssa and turning into a ship's Navigator practically overnight!" the redhead blurted excitedly.

"Or how about the way you hacked your way through military grade encryption like it was nothing?" John said to Sparks gently.

The redhead looked at him and her eyes suddenly widened with shock.

"You're right!" she gasped excitedly. "I was mainly interested in mechanical engineering back on Karron, but I played around with hacking for a while. I started looking into it again the last few days, what with all the computer systems I'm dealing with now." Sparks admitted freely.

"Now that you mention it, I've felt clearer, less distracted." She had a look of wonder on her beautiful face as she recalled just how much she had studied and absorbed since she'd arrived on the Invictus.

"There's one more thing" John said, looking at Calara and Sparks intently.

"Honey, do you want to tell them?" he asked Alyssa.

The beautiful blonde nodded her head in agreement. 

"You know how much I love you both right?" Alyssa said to the two girls earnestly.

They both looked at her and nodded, smiling at her warmly.

"Well I can feel how much you love me back." Alyssa explained to them both carefully.

"Ah Alyssa, you're so sweet!" Sparks said and gave her old friend a hug.

"No I really mean it!" Alyssa insisted. "I can sense your emotions." she admitted.

Calara looked amazed, but considering her own mental enhancements she had discussed with John, this wasn't too big a jump for her to take.

"You're kidding right?" Sparks scoffed, falling at the first hurdle.

"It's not that crazy Sparks, there's a few alien species with Psychic abilities." Calara said helpfully.

"And she can read my mind like a book." John interjected with a wry smile. 

"Why don't you test me?" Alyssa said, smiling at her friend indulgently.

"Ok then, I will!" Sparks said, accepting the challenge. "Go in the bathroom and shut the door. I'll tell John a series of numbers and then just come back in and repeat them."

"You're the boss!" Alyssa said, leaning in to give the redhead a kiss before getting up to go into the bathroom. 

Calara got up and went with her, the pair of them gliding gracefully into the bathroom. "I'll check there's no peeking!" she said to Sparks, smiling reassuringly.

As soon as Alyssa had shut the door, Sparks moved up to John's side and began to whisper a series of numbers into his ear. As soon as she was done, Calara opened the door without being prompted.

"She told me you were done." Calara said, looking at Alyssa warily, her previous composure shaken slightly when confronted with the reality of psychic powers.

The beautiful blonde swept back into the room, her long athletic legs leading the way.

"17, 93, 84, 127, 16, 300..." She said, reeling off the numbers unfalteringly.

"And... 1,265,389!" She said, frowning at the redhead chastisingly.

"Wow!!" Sparks gasped in amazement. "That's fucking awesome!" She said, grinning at Alyssa.

Alyssa grinned back and breathed a sigh of relief, overjoyed that her friend was now accepting her new gift so readily.

"Do you think we'll become Psychic too?" Sparks asked excitedly, fascinated to know what it would be liked to read John's mind.

Alyssa threw a glance towards John, who recalled their earlier conversation. He shrugged having no new answers.

"I don't know Sparks, but I suspect not." Alyssa said gently.

"Oh, that's a shame." The redhead said in disappointment.

"What makes you so sure?" Calara asked curiously.

"Everything that's happened to all of us so far hasn't happened at random. It's as though there's a hidden set of rules that are guiding everything that happens to us." Alyssa explained her reasoning.

John let the exquisite young woman continue, but her words echoed in his mind, resonating with what felt like an undeniable truth.
