Chapter 8

Just as we approach the ship I hear some one say in the background. “Because of you I lost my job you pile of fecal.” as I turn around I see he has a laser rifle. I manage to push Katherine out of the way. Then he fires but he missed his mark, I hear Lakia scream in pain. That sent me into a Rage I rush him. Luckily for me he never checked his rifle's energy pack, it only had charge enough for one shot. I took the weapon from his hands and started beating him with it driving him to the floor. Finally I raised the weapon high above my head and bring it down splitting his skull like it was a watermelon. I turned and left the corps laying on the floor. I went to see if there was anything I could do for Lakia.

She was holding her right shoulder the laser had only gone through the flesh of her arm. I pick her up and carry her onto the ship, and into the infirmary. Just as I enter the infirmary I yell “DOC!!!! DOC !!!! we need you Lakia is wounded.” The doc comes running out of his office.

Doc responded “Okay okay let me see.” She moves her hand revealing the wound for Doc to see .

Doc Says “That looks like it hurts.”

She takes her left arm and thumps Doc upside the head and says “Ya think... now get your tools and fix my arm Doc.”

Doc responds “I'll have you good as new in a few minutes.”

I ask Lakia “Are you going to be okay? I need to go talk to the station security. I'm sure that they are looking for me by now.”

She responds “I will be fine. Go take care of your business.”

I reply “I will be back as soon as I can.”

Just as I turn to leave the infirmary Katherine walks in and says “Station security is looking for you.”

I reply “I know, I'm going to take care of that right now.”

She says “I got the rest of your stuff and put it in the port office.”

I thank her and head out to the port. When I get to the port there are three security officers waiting there. I say “I think you want to talk to me. I am Paul Curtis. I killed him for trying to kill me and my friends. He had a weapon and he shot one of my friends. I just took her to the infirmary.”

The security officer says “We will need you to come with us. We have already talked to a few witness's and your story seems to be true but we will still need to do some test and take a statement.”

I respond “Lets go get this over with.” Then the two other guards take my arms and we walk to the security office. When we get there the stations Doctor is waiting there with some scanning tools and a few other devices that I don't know what they are.

The doctor says “I'm going to get a DNA sample and a couple of other quick scans then I have this memory scanner that will show us the incident as it happened.” I agree so the doctor begins his poking and scanning. Then the doctor places this conglomeration of wires and electrodes on my head and hooks it into a monitor.”

He then says “I want you to think just before it started.” I start thinking about walking back to the ship with Lakia on my right arm and Katherine on my left. We are discussing our possible future on the ship. Then we see the port and are heading for it. Just like before I hear someone in the background yell “Because of you I lost my job you pile of fecal.” and the monitor is displaying everything as it appeared to me.

The officer says “Clearly self defense. There is no reason to detain Mr. Curtis any longer. You may go, have a good day”

I respond “Thank you, you too” and I head out the door.

Just as I get back to the ship everyone's there waiting for me to return. Valesz is the first to welcome me back she runs up to me and wraps her arms around me and gives me a VERY welcoming kiss.

Then she says “ Today you have earned the trust and loyalty of every member of this crew. Including my own, My Love”

I respond “All I did was defend Lakia, Katherine, and myself.”

She says “This morning you defended Squeaky against me and my temporary lack of judgment, that earned you a lot. But when you defended your crew mates against an armed foe there is no higher sacrifice that anyone can make. You risk your life for another, and yet again surprised me and everyone on this ship, that's 3 days and four times that you have surprised me. Tonight instead of a fight there will be a ceremony in your honer.....”

I stop her … “Fight, How is Lakia? Is she okay?”

Valesz responds “She is fine Lakia and Katherine are waiting for you to return in your quarters.”

I reply “I want to go see them.”

As I turn and start walking to the ship everyone is lined up to great me in one way or another , shaking hands , hugs, a few quick kisses. I'm almost past the crowd, then Talzon and Drake come up behind me and put me up sitting across their shoulders and carry me onto the ship. I thought that they would put me down after getting on the ship but nooo they carried me all the way to my quarters where they finally set me down. The door opens and here come Lakia and Katherine they hit me so hard that we all fall to the floor. They begin kissing me and hugging me. I thought that I would never make it into my quarters but then again that really didn't matter , what mattered to me was that Lakia was okay. We laid there with the girls mauling me what seemed like forever, but in reality only about few minutes had passed. Lakia and Katherine finally decide to let me up so we can go into my quarters.

We enter my room and all sit in the main room Katherine ask if I would like something to drink.

I respond “Sure, a small glass of wine would be nice to relax with.”

She comes back with the bottle and three glasses, she opens the bottle and pours the glasses half full, she hands Lakia and me our glasses, and raises her glass and says “ To our friend our comrade and our lover. May you live a long and wonderful life.

I respond “I hope so too.” We all turn our glasses up. As we bring our glasses back down we hear a chime and the vizo screen reveals Valesz at the door.

I say “Come in my love”

The door opens, as Valesz enters the room Katherine asks Valesz if she would like a glass. Valesz responds “I would love some.” Katherine gets up to get Valesz a glass as Valesz sits down next to me she gives me a tight hug and she says “Tonight in the ring that you were suppose to fight Lakia in, there would be a ceremony and that during the ceremony she has a couple of surprises for me.”

I respond “well is there no reason that the fight can't be done before the ceremony”

then I turn to Lakia and say “As long as your up for it.”

Valesz says “no I don't guess there would be a problem with that as long as Lakia is up to the challenge.”

Katherine comes back with Valesz's glass, hands it to Valesz and sits on my other side.

Lakia responds “Doc told me to take it easy on my arm for a few days, but I think I can manage it. Although before I say Yes for sure I will go ask the Doctor and see what he has to say.”

I respond “That sounds good to me. Would you like me to go with you to see Doc Attor.”

She replies “Yes, I would like for you to come with me.”

“All right then let's go. If you will excuse us for a short while. We will be back with the news as soon as possible. My room is your room, you will find some snacks in the food stasis unit.”

Then I reach for Valesz and give her a hug and a kiss “We will be right back my love. Oh I can't forget you my love.” I reach for Katherine and give her a hug and a kiss and say “I can't wait until we get back.” then Lakia and I head out the door.

On the way to talk to Doc Attor , Lakia says “ Do you recall when we were making out in the grass and you popped up and said to everyone “What haven't you ever seen a Roo matting ritual before?”

I respond “Yes I remember quite well.”

She said “Do you have any idea how close you were to the truth?”

I say “No, not exactly I haven't studied all the different cultures mating habits. I didn't think that I would need that kind of knowledge.”

She says “You were very close in fact to anyone but a Roo that could have easily been mistaken for a mating ritual however, the ritual actually has a more aggressive overtones.”

“interesting” I respond. “I have a question for you during these rituals do Roo's ever get injured?”

She replies “Sure all the time but nothing serious mainly a few scratches some bruising, an occasional broken bone.”

I respond “Sounds like fun... “ (ok yes there is a little sarcasm there), if I may ask one more question about this ritual. She says”

“Sure ask”

“When we were fighting in the grass were you getting excited?”

She responds “To tell the truth yes, I wanted so bad to take your right then and there, but then I though about where we were and there are a few species that don't tolerate that kind of behavior, so I refrained.”

I reply “ It's a good thing that you have good self control isn't it?”

She says “Yes.”

Here we are at the infirmary. Lakia calls out “Hey Doc you in here?”

Doc calls out “Yes I'm in the office. Is something wrong?”

Lakia responds “No we just want to talk.”

Doc replies “Come on in.” then we enter his office.

She says “Doc do you think it would be okay if Paul and I fight tonight?”

Doc responds “No not really, you might tear the muscles that I have mended.”

She responds “What if we keep it on the mild side, say something close to Roo mating rituals?”

Doc responds “If your that serious about making this fight happen, and agree to keep it on the mild side. I guess it would be fine, but I do know just how rough Roo sex can be.”

Lakia giggles and says, “Yes I know it can get kind of rough, but not quite as rough as an all out fight.” Doc agrees.

I look to Doc and say “Oh by the way Doc I never got a chance to thank you for fixing up Lakia earlier today. so thank you.”

Doc “No problem that's what I'm here for.” then we head back to my room.

On the way back I say “You know when the salesman shot you I heard you scream. I thought you were going to die. I couldn't live with that on my continence. For an instant I kind of blacked out and acted strictly on instinct. Anyone that would try and hurt me or my friends... well you now know what the results can be.

She responds “Yes, I now know just how far you would go to protect your friends.”

I say “Enough about that. You know that we are going to have to adjust the rules slightly for our fight in a little while.”

She responds “I was hoping that you were going to say that. I also did some research on other forms of human fighting, like wrestling if we are careful we could use a mix of that and boxing , kind of like we did on the station.”

I reply “That will work for me but you have to promise that you will be gentle if you use your feet. I have a pretty good idea just how powerful those things are.”

She says “So I guess you heard what happened between Jalad and myself?”

I reply “No details, just that you nearly took his arm completely off.”

She says “It was a while back, but I was having a bad day to begin with he wanted sex from me and I told him that I was not in the mood. He tried anyway and I defended myself and that's how that happened. That's why the rule on the ship is that the other or others must be willing.”

I respond “That was in your past but now that I know or would do that anyhow, I will try not to push you to far. If I do something that offends you please let me know. I don't want to offend you so much that it would end our friendship or make either of us miserable on this ship. I want to know so that I can either try to fix it or at the very least not do it again.”

She says “Oh if you make me mad you will know it and you will know what you did to make me mad.”

I say “That's all I need to know.”

Now back at my room. We enter the room but Valesz and Katherine are not here. I walk towards the bedroom and there they are laying beside each other asleep.

I look to Lakia “That looks like a good idea how about we join them.”

She responds “I agree, is has been a busy day and a nap don't sound like a bad idea.”

I set the alarm for one hour. then we crawl up onto the bed me on Valesz's side and Lakia on Katherine's side just as I get snuggled up to Valesz she puts her arm over me and says “Glad you decided to join us my love.”

I reply “I am to my love.” I give her a kiss then we all drift off to sleep.

An hour later the chime wakes us from our peaceful slumber. I stretch and Valesz does the same. then I wrap my arms around her and hold her tightly and say “That's just what the doctor ordered.”

She replies “The doctor told you to take a nap?”

I say “ I'm sorry its an old earth expression ,meaning that's exactly what I needed”

She says “Oh then how about needing this.” and gives me a kiss parting my lips with her long tongue exploring my mouth quite easily, then after a couple of minutes of kissing.

I say “Oh how I do enjoy that, But we have a very busy evening planned. the doctor told us that if we keep it on the mild side that we could have our fight. What time is the ceremony going to take place?”

Valesz says “The ceremony is going to take place at 19:00”

I reply “Then we have 2 hours, if we schedule the fight for 18:00 we still have an hour to prepare.”

Katherine says “We need to inform the crew of the times so they can be ready.”

I get out of bed and walk over to the viso screen and press a couple of buttons then say “This is a ship wide announcement the fight is still going to take place. It will be held at 18:00, and the ceremony will be held at 19:00. After the ceremony everyone's invited to the galley for a dinner. Valesz chimes in “Except for the crew needed to maintain the ship, you will be relieved to join the dinner in progress.” end transmission.” I look at Valesz and say “ I'm sorry I didn't mean to over step my bounds.”

She says “Never mind that you know more about ship operations than anyone else on board, are you sure you aren't part dragon or equine”

I quickly respond “If I were part dragon I would have scales and no balls hanging, and if I were part equine my cock would be a lot bigger and I would have fur.”

Then all the girls say at the same time “That proves it he is equine.”

Katherine says “I have seen pictures of human males and none of them were quite as big as you are I would say that you are about 21 to 22 cm and the pictures I would have to guess they would be about 14 cm, and for the fur you could shave it off.” ….. and everyone laughs.

Valesz says “During the next few weeks will you be willing to teach the crew ship operations?”

“Sure but I will need someone to help teach me dragon script. I know a little but not enough to do everything this ship can do”

Katherine says “I can do that I read and write dragon script fluently.”

Valesz says “Now that's settled we all need to start getting ready.”

I look to Lakia and ask “Would you like to go the the gymnasium and work out with me to get ready for the match?”

she responds “I would love to.”

Valesz says “Katherine I have some preparations to take care of myself would you help me?”

Katherine responds “Sure I'll be glad to help besides looks like these two have other plans.”

I say “Before we get started would everyone mind helping me disperse some of these plants in different areas of the ship?”they all agree. I say “Thank you, the veggies stay here. I start pulling them off of the platform, and they help by grabbing some of them and placing them around my room .

“Oh that reminds me.” I get the 100 credit chip and hand it back to Katherine and say “I won't be needing this, and I thank you for the generous offer of letting me borrow the money.”

She takes the chip and says “If you ever need to borrow a few credits don't be afraid to ask.”

I respond “I don't think that money will be a problem for me, I have everything that I need in this room right now.” and they all Begin to blush, even Valesz scales show a slightly different shade of blue.”

“I think I will keep the pear tree here but the rest go else where. Now for the roses, I would like for each of you to pick from the three colors there are six red roses, two pink, and two yellow.

Valesz says “I like the red ones”

Lakia says “I like the yellow ones they remind me of a sunset at home”

Katherine says “I like the yellow ones too but the pink ones are pretty as well.

I say “That's easy to fix, Lakia do you mind if I take a clipping from each plant?”

Lakia responds “No, I don't mind.”

I cut a rose from each of Lakia's roses and put them in the dirt next to the pink roses then I go and get a couple of tall glasses and place them over each of Katherine's yellow roses.”

I say “These glasses need to stay over these roses for 12 months then after that you can replant them into another pot and you will have yellow roses as well as pink ones. Back to the task at hand, I'm going to keep a couple of red roses in my bedroom then the other two we can either put in the pool room or on the bridge. Now that we have all of the plants off of the platform that are staying here, we need to go.”

Lakia says “I will push the platform, I ask “Who's quarters are first on the way to the pool room?”

Katherine says “You know where my quarters are.” Lakia and Valesz look at me.

I say “When we were planning on going to the station we stopped at her quarters to get her some clothes to wear then we went to my quarters to get my clothes, and besides if anything would have happened would there be a problem with it?”

Lakia says “No, we were just wondering how you knew where her quarters were. After all you have only been on the ship a few days.”

I respond “Yes, and in just a few days look at what I have done.”

Valesz says to Lakia “He has a very good point there.”

Lakia says “Since you know the ship so well, why don't you tell me where my room is?”

I respond “Very well since you ask. There is a computer console just up ahead. We will stop there and I can get the room number.” we walk a little way further down the hallway and arrive at the computer. I stop and press a couple of buttons on the console then say “What room is Lakia assigned?”

The computer responds “Quarters 107”

Lakia says “Now that you have the number where is it?”

I reply “Four rooms from the bridge on the left 1st deck if we take lift pad two, if we take lift pad three then they will be on the right.”

Lakia “I guess you do know this ship well. It took me almost a week to learn how to find everything.” Katherine says “Okay Mr. know it all where is Valesz's quarters?”

I say “Computer where is the Captain's quarters?”

The computer responds “That information is classified.”

“Okay fine then. Computer where is the captains quarters authorization Alpha Gama Omega 1101 green.”

The computer responds “That information is restricted to level 8 and higher.”

“okay fine lets try this then. Computer show me a schematic layout of the ship.” and the computer displays a schematic of the ship with 3 area's grayed out. “Computer what are these 3 areas that are not on the schematic.”

Computer replies “Those areas are restricted to level 8 and higher access.” I think that this room here.” and I point to one of the gray rooms on the screen and continue “There's captains quarters I would guess the room number there is 102. Providing that room even has a number.”

Katherine says “I'm impressed, he even got around level 8 clearance.”

“Now that I know that Katherine's room is first on the way but we pass the pool room before we get there so lets make a quick stop there first.” Everyone agrees. When we get to the pool, there we see Drake and Snowy enjoying the cool water. I say “ Hello Drake and Snowy “They respond “Hello, what ya got there?”

Valesz responds “Paul bought some new trees to put in the pool room, it will help provide oxygen for the ship and a snack for the herbivores on the ship.”

Snowy says “That was nice of you Paul. Can I ask you a question Paul?” I respond , you just did... but ask away..”

Snowy” are humans herbivores or carnivores?” I respond “The best answer I can give you is both. We call it omnivore I eat meat and vegetables.”

She responds “You are a different species that's for sure”

Lakia says “We have a lot to do before the fight we need to get moving.”

I say “Then lets put the fruit trees around the pool. The apple tree can go here. The tree you chose Katherine can go over there, and the tree that you chose Lakia can go right over here. The trees are arranged in the corners of the room so everyone can have access to them when they want a fruit.

Valesz says “Lets go to Katherine's room now.”

Katherine says “Lets take lift pad two”

Lakia replies “Sounds good me me.”

We get to the lift pad and Lakia pushes the platform on and says I will wait for you on the next level and up she goes. When it returns the three of us get on and Valesz presses a button and up we go. we walk down the hall just a bit. Katherine says “Were here.”

As she enters her quarters She says “Please come in.” We follow her as we enter her room.

She says “I think the roses would look good here and here and the tree in that corner there.” I ask as I position the tree “How is this ?”

She replies “Just a little to the left” I slide the tree slightly to her left she says “Perfect.”

Valesz says “Now on to Lakia's room.” We all head out the door and down the hall towards Lakia's quarters.

Lakia says “Perhaps later we can take a clipping from the pink roses and start her a couple.”

Katherine says “Sure we can take the clippings tomorrow.”

Then I comment “We need to be careful not to take to many clippings or it can kill the plants.”

Lakia says “Here is my room please come in.”

As we enter the room Katherine says “Where would you like your plants Lakia?”

She responds “ I think I would like them in the bedroom.”

As we enter the bedroom Lakia says “I would like the roses on each side of the head of the bed and the tree in the far right corner so in the middle of the night if I want a midnight snack I can reach it.” We position the plants

She says “That's good, right there.” Lakia walks up to me wraps her arms around me and gives me a kiss and says “Thank you.”

I respond “Why all I did was give you a couple of plants.”

She says “ Its much more than that. You have shown me nothing but respect, love and kindness. Something that no one has ever done for me. You show me no fear like most everyone else.”

I reply “That's because you have given me no reason to fear you, and you have shown me only respect and love so why would I not return the feelings.”

Valesz says “You two can get all mushy later tonight. We still have a lot to do.”

We all exit Lakia's room and head just down the hall is Valesz's room.

Just as we get to the door of her quarters she says “I have never entertained guest in my room but today was quite special and that we would be welcome to come in.”

We all enter Valesz's room. As I expected it is much larger than regular quarters, she likes to be able to see the stars , in her room is a small transparent aluminum window this one is circular in shape about one meter in diameter, she has plants of all kinds arranged all around the room.

Valesz says “ I think I like Lakia's idea of having them close to the bed Lakia and Katherine each grab a rose and head for the bedroom leaving me and Valesz in the main room alone. Valesz wraps her arms around me and gives me a deep passionate kiss and says “Thank you, and before you ask why, just because you are you.”

Then I reply “I have something else for you, I know that you don't like wearing clothes but here.” I hand her a box. She opens the box, to reveal the silky blue dress that I picked up on the station. “I thought that this blue would accent your blue scales.”

As she picks up the dress I say “Yes it does go very well with your color.” I look into her eyes and she has a tear forming in the corner of her eye. I wrap my arms around her and say “Your very welcome my love.”

She wraps her arms around me and says “I have never loved any one as much as I love you.” and squeezes me tightly holding me close to her. Lakia and Katherine walk out of the bedroom. Valesz releases me and wipes the tear from her eye and says “Okay everyone now that's done we have to get ready for tonight. Lakia you and Paul go on to the Rec. area and do your training. While Katherine and I go to the bridge and start the preparations from there.

I reply “Very well Lakia shall we ?” On the way there we discuss the fight tactics in great detail of who is going to do what to whom and when, as we get to the pool we hear moaning and screaming. We look into the pool room and see Drake and Snowy going at it. We don't have time or we would join them.

I say to Lakia “Perhaps we will do the pool laps after we have been in the gym a while.”

She replies “Works for me, besides I want to see what kind of weight you humans can lift, push and pull.”

I look at her and respond “Probably not as much as you can, but we will see.”.

We get to the weight room and she says “You first.” I walk over to the bench and I put on two weights marked 20.4k and the bar weighs 9k then I walk over to the console and adjust the rooms gravity to match that of earth other wise the 50k would only feel like 40k (any of you guy's out there that have lifted weights should recognize some of these numbers) I walk back to the bench and lay down under the bar. I take hold and go through 10 rep's then I get up and put another set of weights on marked 11.3k and do another set of 10 rep's. I get up again and walk away from the bench Lakia straddles the bench backwards curls her tail around the bar and does 20 reps with her tail.

I look at her and say “Now do that with your arms.” She lays down on the bench and grabs the bar but its all she can do to do a single rep.

She says “I guess you got me on this one.”

I say “I'm not done there yet I do a couple set's of rep's then walk away for a few minutes to give my muscles a chance to become accustomed to moving that kind of weight.” she gets up and I pull the 11.3k weights off and put on another set of 20.4k.

She says “You can't lift that with your arms can you?” I say “watch me, will you stand at the head of the bench just in case I need a spot.

She replies “Sure, wouldn't want you to get hurt just before the fight.” I start my rep's by the time I hit the 10th rep its all I can do to get the bar back to the top.

Lakia says “ I never thought that your slender arms could lift that kind of weight much less several times.” I respond that a muscle that is properly toned has more power and endurance than the more bulky muscles, sure the big muscle guys might be able to lift more weight but only in short burst.”

She says “You mean like Jalad correct?”

I reply yes he can probably pick up twice his weight but not as many times that I can lift 1.5 times my body weight. We each have our own advantage me with endurance and speed and him with brute strength. Okay now that I have had a little rest back to the weight then on to the legs this time I'm going to do a reverse lift in five reps witch is I'm going to let the weight down slowly and then back up.”

She says “Any time your ready.” I lift the weight. I can only manage three reps this time on the 4th she has to spot me and help pull the weight back up.

I say “That's enough of the press lets go over to the treads.” We each get on a treadmill and I start out with a brisk walk. Then I say “Your going to spank me in these exercises.”

She looks at me and says “Yes, I am.”

After about 20 minutes on the treadmills. I say “Time for the leg press.” then walk over and start loading the press up., I get about 180k loaded and I sit in the machine and start my reps 1.2.3...10 I hop off and load it to about 226k next set of reps.. 1.2.3..10 “Last load for me.” 318k she looks at the load and then back at me and says “That's over 4 times your weight.”

I say “Yes it is and I am going to do everything I can to make my 10 reps.” I begin my reps.

1.2.3.6.7.8.9...10, I lock the weight in place before drop it and hurt myself . Then she steps into the leg press and starts her reps … 1.2.3..15..20..30

I look and say “Time for more weight?”

She says “Yes double it please.”

I say “It can only handle 545k.”

She says “Load it up.” I put all the weight on I can.

“It is maxed out. Go for it , but please don't hurt yourself”

she replies “Don't worry I won't” and she starts doing her reps. 1.2.3..10..20..30..40..50

“You defiantly have me on the leg press. Back to the treadmill for cool down.”

I hop on and begin again at a brisk walk she gets on the other treadmill and she starts at a blazing 48kph. Of course I have to kick mine up as well. It's all I can to to hit that speed. Then she kicks hers up as well she is now running at 52 kph. I slow my machine back down to a brisk walk and she kicks hers up again. I look over and she is doing 64kph. “I didn't know that a treadmill could go that fast.” but she doesn't do it for long she begins to slow down.

I comment “I had no idea you could run that fast.”

She responds “Yes but not for long periods.”

(yes I know that a kangaroo can't walk much less run but then again she really isn't a kangaroo)

she says “Another 5 minutes on the treadmills and then we will head for the pool.”

I say “Sounds good to me. I hope that Drake and Snowy are done.”

She replies “Me too I would hate to interrupt something.”

After 5 minutes have passed. We head for the pool. When we arrive Drake and Snowy are nowhere to be found so we have the pool to ourselves. Lakia waste no time she jumps right in and I follow close behind her. I can't help but notice that on her way into the pool that her pussy was dripping wet. I knew that she wanted me again but I also knew that we would both need to keep our control before the fight. So I chose not to entice her. I'm sure that she is having a hard time keeping her self control, I know I'm having a hard time especially after seeing her condition. and what a pretty condition it is. After a few laps in the pool its time to get out. It's almost time for the fight to start we crawl out of the pool and grab a couple of towels and dry off.

I say “I feel better how about you?”

She responds “Much better, we will have to do this more often together. I really enjoyed it.”

I say “So did I.” then I continue “I do want to get back to a scheduled workout, how about every other morning before shift start?”

She responds “I would like that very much.”

“I'm going to my room to get the gear for the fight would you like to come?”

She says “Does a dragon have a tail?” We go to my room. When we get there I go into the bedroom and get the container. I open it and begin pulling out the needed gear. She grabs me pulls me close to her warm naked body and begins kissing me passionately. I wrap my arms around her and begin probing her mouth with my tongue after a couple of minutes we break the kiss.

She says “I wanted to make sure you knew how I felt about you before we get into that ring in a few minutes. I know that I would not have had the chance after we leave your room.

I respond “I know how you feel about me you don't have to tell me you show it to me in more ways that even you realize. I have to admit that it is a little confusing for me. I know that I have deep feelings for Valesz and Katherine, and now you too. This is totally new to me, it goes against everything that I have been taught throughout my life and now to find my self feeling these feelings for more than one. how do you handle something like this?

She responds “Its easy, don't fight it. Let it happen and enjoy what your are feeling it may or may not last. So enjoy it while you have it.”

I reply “I will.”

Lakia says “We need to get going, everyone's probably already gathered waiting for us to make our appearance.”

We head down the hall towards the Rec area just before we get to the door she stops me gives me a quick kiss and says “Good luck.”

I respond “Good luck to you too.” We enter the room. Everyone is gathered around the ring Valesz and Jalad are in the ring waiting for us. Drake has done a nice job of recreating an earth boxing ring the three ropes with the padded turn buckles the lightly padded floor. Right down to the judges table with the bell waiting for the first ring.

We climb up into the ring. Jalad and Valesz greet both of us Valesz has a worried look on her face when she looks into my eyes and says “I don't want you to get hurt we can still call this off”

I reply “We can't call it off a challenge has been made an accepted the fight must continue for honer to be satisfied. I won't dishonor Lakia in that fashion she deserves more, and besides I know if anything goes wrong Doc Attor can fix me if it comes to that.”

Valesz “But if any thing happens to you ...”

I interrupt her “I will be fine you will see. And don't try and order her not to fight me. I don't think that she would follow that order anyhow.”

Valesz “Damn you.”

I grab her pull her close to me and give her a deep passionate kiss and then say “Everything will be fine my love.”

She finally gives in to my reassurance, and says “Okay, I trust you.” She turns and climbs down out of the ring. I walk to the center where Jalad and Lakia are waiting I ask Jalad for the microphone and he hands me the microphone.

I put it up towards my mouth and begin speaking “Quiet everyone …. QUIET!!!! Lakia and I have an announcement to make. We have decided to alter the rules. Instead of a straight Boxing match there will be three rounds. First round will be Boxing, the full rules apply to this round. Second round will be wrestling first one pinned for ten seconds wins that round. and last but not least the Third round will be free style any thing goes... so I will ask everyone at least during the third round try and stay close to the ring corners there is no telling who might be coming out of the ring. Lakia and myself are in full agreement of the rules laid out. We expect no interruptions in the ring during any match.”

Then I turn to Valesz and say “Would you please make that a direct order.” She hesitantly agrees then says “Under no circumstances is anyone to go into the ring during any of the three matches.” Everyone responds “AYE AYE CAPTAIN”

I hand Jalad back the microphone and Jalad speaks into the microphone and says “First off this fight will not only be broadcast over the ship like Paul wanted but it will also be transmitted for Populated Space...” Jalad continues “Okay, I want a clean fight everyone knows the rules. I want you to shake hands and come out fighting. DING” Lakia and I shake hands then we each jump back a bit to give Jalad time and room to move away.

Lakia jabs I duck she missed. I swing she blocks she comes in with an uppercut and connects knocks me back on my ass. I get up and say “Good one” she smiles at me I move back in she swings. I block I swing and connect it turns her around she regains her balance. Turns back and says “Nice one not bad for a human.” She moves back in I throw an uppercut and connect she catches herself with her tail. She says “I felt that one.” I move in she swings I duck she swings again and connects I land on the floor face down. A trickle of blood escapes my lips. I get up wiping my face and licking my lips.

I say “I guess we need to work more on the bench with you that one should have been a Knock Out.” then I give her a little smile. She moves in and I throw a cross and connect she hits the mat face down. She gets back up and says “Your getting better.”

I move in and swing again and connect she hits the mat again. She gets up and says “Now your asking for it.” she moves back in I swing again she blocks and then throws a cross and connects. I do a 360 in mid air before hitting the mat I land on my side. I slowly work my way back up, and say “Okay no more Mr. nice guy.” I move in and use a combo starting with a cross ending with an uppercut and connect. She was unprepared for it and looses her balance and hits the mat again.

She gets up “Now your defiantly going to get it!” with a grin on her face she starts to move back in … DING DING DING!!!! we both walk to the center of the ring and give each other a warm hug I whisper in her ear and she gives me a little peck on the cheek. We turn and return to our perspective corner.

Valesz comes up by my corner and ask “Are you ok?” I respond “Yes my love I'm doing great she hands me a glass of water I take a drink and hand her the glass back.

I say “It will be fine”

Valesz “But in the next round Lakia will have more of an advantage she is no longer bound by the no feet rule.”

I respond “That's fine she still can't kick me only pin me”

Jalad goes to the center ring the judges rule this round is Paul 5 to 3 .. Valesz pulls me down to her and she gives me another kiss and says “Good luck.”

I say. “Thank you but I don't need luck.” and I give her a smile then turn and head for the center ring.

Jalad holding the microphone “Everyone knows the rules for this match, I want a good clean fight … DING!!!

We start moving in circles around the ring she quickly pins me with my right arm under me. Jalad starts counting 1....2....3.. how the hell can I get out of this if I can only get my hand free just a little …... 4 ...5... Yes I got it. I begin tickling Lakia she squirms just enough for me to work free I get back on my feet. She says “That wasn't fair you tickled me.”

I reply “All's fair in love and war.” Round and round we go again I finally get behind her and get her tail in a leg lock and her in a sleeper hold ( I'm thinking I might just have this match as well) She kicks off the floor launching us almost three meters into the air we almost hit the ceiling. I let go so I can land on my feet.

I say “and you thought that my tickling you wasn't fair well I guess it was within the guidelines at least you didn't kick me.”

We both laugh. We start circling the mat again next thing I know she has my head in a scissor hold. Jalad starts counting again 1...2...3... Her beautiful pussy less than a centimeter from my face, just dripping wet, 4...5... I take advantage of the situation and slip her a quick lick and catch her off guard and she quickly releases me. We both get back to our feet she exclaims now that was cheating. I reply “Maybe but it sure was sweet and tasty.” She blushes slightly. We start going around again, I get behind her again and this time I manage to get her in a full nelson and her tail in a scissor hold and manage to get her to the mat this time while maintaining the holds, Jalad starts counting 1...2...3...4...5... 6...7...8...9...10 Paul wins we get up and we hug. She gives me a kiss and sends her tongue in search of a hint of that sweet nectar still lingering on my tongue.

We return to out perspective corners again. Valesz comes back to my corner she says, I'm quite impressed, I didn't know that you could fight like that.”

I respond “You would be surprised what a young man can learn on his own.” Valesz says “You keep surprising me day after day. It's about time that I surprise you for a change but that will have to wait until later tonight.

I respond “Now your just teasing me but I will wait.” Valesz says “ I'm worried about the next round, since its freestyle she can fight with her own style and if she gets you with her feet she can do some serious damage. I know, I was there when the doctor was working on Jalad.” She hands me another glass of water and I take a drink then I try to console her again saying “It will be fine, I have done well so far, there's no reason to think anything different now.”

Valesz says “ true you have handled yourself quite well in here so far” I finish the glass of water, she takes it from me. Jalad goes to the center of the ring . I lean towards Valesz and give her a quick kiss and say “I will be back in a few minutes.”

Jalad says “Everyone this is the round that we all have been waiting for, will everyone please move away from the ring sides. Everyone steps back about 2 meters from the ring Jalad says I want a good clean... ummm on your mark set (Jalad steps back ) GO!!!

I run into Lakia trying to knock her to the mat, She is prepared and holds her ground she easily tosses me back. She goes into a spin knocking me to the mat with her tail. I quickly get back up. She goes into another spin this time I catch her tail and pull her backwards and get on her back. I whisper into her ear “Are you ready?” She flips me over her back onto the mat I rush her from the front again she leans back onto her tail just as I get to her she pulls her feet up into the air and I land on top of her she kicks and launches me flying across the room and I slam into the wall behind me (ever seen the cartoon where the charter slides slowly down the wall , well that's about what it felt like) I slid down to the floor and land face down on the padded floor. In a single leap she lands right next to me she reaches down and gently rolls me over.

To Niegh or Not to Neigh

I open my eyes and give her a quick wink she straddles my chest with her sweet pussy right in my face. The sweet smell makes me begin to grow instantly. I pick my head up and lick her sweet juices from her wet and wanting pussy. She slides down my chest reaches down and guides my hard cock towards her extremely hot moist pussy and quickly slams down on my hard shaft. Everyone looks on in awe as we begin fucking like wild animals. She is ridding my cock like there is no tomorrow she bends down slightly and begins kissing me deeply with her hands on my chest she begins clutching my chest digging her nails in slightly while dragging them across my chest I feel her pussy clenching down my my hard cock she throws her head back and screams my name “ PAUL!!!!!!!” while firmly digging her nails into my chest.

Valesz is standing over us. She ask “May I join in?

As Lakia releases her grip slightly Lakia says “Sure there's plenty of him to go around. Lakia continues her assault on my hard cock and Valesz sits on my chest facing Lakia putting her sweet pussy right over my mouth. I wast no time and begin licking her sweet pussy, driving my tongue deep into her. While I reach up and massage her firm breast occasionally giving her now hard nipples a little pinch between my fingers making her moan and push down onto my face. Then I feel Lakia squeezing down on my cock again and Valesz begins squeezing on my tongue both of them have their hands on my sides and each begins digging their nails into me. Feeling all this sends me over the edge and I explode deep with in Lakia both of them collapse against each other they finally regain enough energy to move and they each lay next to me. What I hadn't noticed was that everyone on the ship had followed Lakia's and my lead. The entire ship became an orgy there were couples everywhere, some already laying down and some still going.

Lakia says to me “You are the only one of any race that I have met that understands me and my kind.”

Valesz says “Looks like I'm not the only one that you keep surprising.”  

Oh oh hell yea! I love this story so much, can't wait to follow it and keep reading!!

                                                            Chapter 9

 I look at Valesz and say “I think that I not only surprised everyone on the ship but perhaps millions even billions all over Populated Space, because to the best of my recollection never before has a broadcast fight ever ended like this one has.”

Lakia says “He has a point there.”

Valesz says “True enough, and the night is not over yet. We will give everyone a few minutes to recuperate and then we need to get ready for the ceremony. For now we will just lay here and enjoy each others company.”

Valesz puts her arm across my chest. I cringe in pain she tries to move her arm but I hold her there while I adjust to the pain and say “It's okay, just like I have been saying all along.”

Lakia looks at my chest and says “Did I do that? I'm so sorry, I don't like the fact that I hurt you” I respond “It's okay, I didn't feel the pain when you did it. It was done in an act of love not anger.”

She says “and I do love you.”

I reply “I love you too.” I turn to Valesz “and you Valesz my love I love you”

Valesz replies” I love you too” (oh my can you feel the love) then both of them look at each other then they both lean over me and each start licking and sucking on my nipples and I instantly begin to get hard again.

I say “Okay okay stop that's not fair we have to get ready”

Lakia says “What were the words you used? Oh yes, all is fair in love and war.”

I reply “Damn you learn quickly.”

Valesz says “It's time we get up and get ready for the ceremony.”

The three of us get up. Valesz speaks in her firm yet soft voice “All right everyone get up and get this place ready for the ceremony. We only have 20 minutes before it starts.” I've never seen everyone move so fast. Everyone was doing their part in cleaning up using towels and mops, in less than ten minutes the room was spotless again.

Lakia says “Now that the room is clean its time for us to get clean.”

I say to her and Valesz “How about a nice hot shower.”

Valesz says “There is a shower just across the hall, you go on ahead we will be right behind you.” I head over to the shower and get the water to a nice temperature of 30 to 35c just about the time I'm getting ready to step into the shower Valesz and Lakia come in.

Valesz says “I see that you have the shower ready for us.”

I respond “Yes, will you join me?”

Valesz replies “ I thought you would never ask.” and they both step in the shower with me.

Lakia says “The water is just a little to hot for me would you mind turning it down just a little?” I reach over and turn the water down to around 28c a little cool for a shower but still comfortable.

Then I start scrubbing Valesz's back and she begins arching and says “That feels so GOOOOD!!!” then I reach over and start scrubbing Lakia's back and she starts to purr well it was more like a coo and her tail starts to twitch.

Then she says “Your so right Valesz it does feel GOOD!!!” Then begins cooing again

Valesz says “We need to stop this and get ready.”

Lakia responds “ But I am enjoying this so much.” Valesz says “ remember what we talked about before coming in here?”

Lakia replies “Oh all right we can stop but will you do this again for me later tonight Paul?”

I reply “Anything you want my loves”

Valesz says “Captain Nidhug should be docking shortly, hopefully in time for the ceremony.”

I say “What is so special that needs another ship here?”

Valesz quickly responds “Since we are not departing until tomorrow at 13:00 we were hoping that you might be able to realign his engines before we depart. He is carrying a load of grain and vegetables to the equine home world and its 5 sectors away. If you can do it it will prove to the Dragon counsel that the best course of action would be to keep you on this ship.”

I respond “I will do as you ask but with such a short time I may not have time enough to tweak his engines as tight as I got ours.”

Valesz responds “If you can get his ship to 4.2 then he will be able to make his delivery about a week sooner and that will be sufficient.”

As we step out of the shower Katherine walks in carrying some clothes, the dresses that I bought for all of them and she is already wearing the one that I bought for her. We all quickly dry off and put our towels in the reclamation unit, and begin getting dressed Katherine hands me a Tuxedo.

I ask “Why such fancy clothing?”

Katherine responds “ because this is a very special night for you Paul and you need to look your best for your people. This ceremony is being broadcast over Populated space and you are the guest of honor.” I continue to get dressed. Just as I finish I look up and all three of them are standing in front of me each a picture of beauty. I stand up and say the three of you are all absolutely stunning tonight.

Valesz is the first to speak “Thank you you look very sharp in a Tux.”

Katherine and Lakia both say “Thank you Paul” Lakia says “You don't look so bad yourself.”

Valesz says “It's time to go everyone”

We head back across the hall and enter the Rec physical room. The ropes and poles have been removed from the ring. Now it looks more like a center stage. There are chairs lined up around the room and around a large rectangular table. There is also a large Viso screen set up against the front wall. Valesz takes my hand and leads me to the table where Talzon is already seated at the end of the table. Valesz sits me in the middle and Lakia at the other end with Valesz to my right and Katherine to my left. Valesz points across the room and says “ That is Captain Nidhug” ( he is a large dragon about two meters tall and his scales are a beautiful bright red and shinny like Valesz's he has a very masculine physique, most definitely a dragon I would not want to piss off. Although have I already have his ship is no longer the fastest in the fleet. He looks to be in his late 40's in human years anyway)

Valesz says “He will be part of the ceremony.”

I hear Lakia whispering to Valesz “Have you talked to the Dragon counsel?”

Valesz replies “Yes.” Lakia “And?” Valesz “Yes.” a smile creeps across Lakia's face. I begin to wonder what in the hell would Valesz be contacting the counsel about and what is Lakia smiling about, and something tells me that captain Nidhug isn't here just because of his engines.

The Viso screen lights up reveling the Dragon counsel they are at a circular table with a large gold medallion of a dragons head in the middle. Valesz gets up and walks up to the center of the stage. She says “Quiet please” (in her soft yet stern voice) and the room goes silent. Everyone draws their attention to the center stage. Valesz begins to speak .

Today we are gathered here for two reasons the second will be conducted after the award

ceremony. First I would like to thank Captain Nidhug Unridoor for gracing this ceremony with his presence. He will also be conducting the second part of the ceremony.

Captain Nidhug stands briefly.

Mr. Curtis will you please come onto the stage

I stand and walk up to the center of the stage. Talzon right behind

me carrying a small golden case

I would like to present my commanding officer Talzon and our guest of honor my Chief engineer.

Mr. Paul Curtis

Everyone applauds.

Today is very special for more than one reason not only have you shown loyalty and courage to this ship and crew. But you have earned this award in the shortest time ever recorded in dragon history. And on top of that you are the first non dragon to receive such a high award. For performance above and beyond the call of duty

for displaying acts of courage and bravery.

Today it is my privilege and honor to award you with the highest award any captain can give to a member of his or her crew.

Talzon opens the case .

I present to you

The Dragon medal of Honor

Valesz takes the Medal out of the case and places it over my head.

It is about 8 cm in diameter it is the same symbol as on the counsel's table.

I begin to speak

I thank you for this great honor. I will do my best to uphold the values witch it stands for.

I will protect this ship and her crew with my life if needed.

Everyone applauds again.

Valesz gives me a hug and a quick kiss and Talzon shakes my hand and says “congratulations”

Katherine and Lakia join us on stage.

Both of them wrap there arms around me giving me a big hug.

then captain Nidhug joins us on stage

Katherine and Lakia step back beside Valesz.

Valesz begins to speak again.

According to Populated space regulations any member is allowed

a maximum of three mates, it is usually do to the fact that we can be away from home for extended periods of time.

I had to get special permission from the dragon counsel to even begin these proceeding's

On this day Katherine, Lakia and myself all ask

“Will You Be Our Mate?”

I can't help but tear up a bit, I quickly wipe my eyes and regain my composure

I respond.

“Yes, I will be happy to be your mate.”

A speaker from the Dragon counsel begins to speak.

Captain Valesz from what you have told us and what we have seen here tonight you have our full blessing to continue with the mating ceremony.

Valesz responds

Thank you Dragon counsel leader., You honor us all by attending the ceremony.

Counsel leader

No captain Valesz it is our honer to get to view such a wonderful occasion.

Captain Nidhug

It appears that my daughter has chosen her mate well. But tomorrow I will see for myself how well you handle your engines and your crew. But tonight is a joyous occasion and it is my honor to be the one that preforms the ceremony.

Both crew's begin surrounding us carrying lit candles.

Will someone please dim the lights.

I respond

Counsel members if you will excuse me for one moment.

Counsel leader

Continue Mr. Curtis.

I respond “ thank you.”

“Computer and the viso screen switches to monitor mode

dim lights to 10%

The lights dim and the screen returns to the counsel.

Captain Nidhug

Thank you Mr. Curtis. I didn't know that these ships had computer control out side the bridge and engineering.

Back to business at hand.

For centuries a Captain has had the honor and privilege of joining couples.

Today not only is it my honor to join a couple but to join my daughter and two of her closest friends with a fine mate.

Mr. Curtis you are one lucky man.

I respond “ Yes I am.”

Mr. Paul Curtis will you accept Valesz Unridoor, Lakia Keelin, and Katherine Kebi to be you mates until the day you die?

“I will.”

Valesz Unridoor, Lakia Keelin, and Katherine Kebi

Do you take Paul Curtis to be your mate until the day that you die?

They all look to each other, then look back to me and in unison say.

“ We will.”

I now pronounce you Mates one and all

you may kiss the brides.

They all come towards me and surround me with Valesz in front of me Katherine to my right and Lakia to my left.

as Valesz begins to kiss me everyone in the room begins to applaud

then Valesz steps back and Katherine steps in front of me and begins kissing me she steps back then finally Lakia wraps her arms around me and says “Looks like it may last for a while.” then she begins kissing me the audience starts hooping and hollering

“Hooray”

Valesz steps back up to my right side Katherine on my left and Lakia on the other side of Katherine

Valesz speaks up.

Everyone may I have your attention for a moment.

The room goes quiet again.

First I would like to thank the Dragon counsel for making this joyous day possible and I would like to thank Captain Nidhug my father for giving me his blessing and preforming this wonderful ceremony.

dragon counsel leader

You are very welcome Captain Valesz, congratulations on your choice of mate.

Counsel out.

the viso screen goes blank.

Valesz

The honeymoon will be postponed until we reach Draconis, the dragon home world

Now its time for Celebration Lets PARTY!!!!!

Jalad hollers

“Everyone to Zot's on the station they have been reserved for the celebration.”

update?

no update yet?

                                                                       Chapter 10

 “Before we go to Zot's would you mind if we catch Doc and get him to fix my chest again?”

Valesz says “Katherine would you contact Zot's and have them send the Doc back up here”

Katherine “No problem, I will do it right now.” She heads for the nearest computer station.

Lakia says “Lets get you out of these cloths.” I respond “Geez we have only been mated for five minutes and all you can think of is getting me out of my clothes.” They both laugh.

Katherine walks back in “He will meet us in the infirmary in a few minutes.”

The tuxedo shirt has several blood spots on in clearly showing where the claw marks are. I finish getting out of my penguin suit. Now that the ceremonies are done I can get comfortable, Katherine looks to Valesz and Lakia and says “There is one reason that we all mated with him he likes to be naked even more than we do.

I reply “I only like to be naked because I know that you enjoy the view. Okay we need to get to the infirmary, we don't want to keep the doc waiting.”

Valesz says “and we have a party to go to.”

We are walking down the hall just as we approach the infirmary we hear Doc. Attor saying down the hall “I'm coming” as the Doc approaches he says “Ya know Paul until you got here I could go for weeks even months with out any one getting so much as a scratch but this is three visits in as many days, are you trying to make me work for my credits”

I respond “Hello Doc, well as a matter of fact yes I am. I'm getting these claw marks just so I can come and visit you.”

Doc says “Let's take a look , ah yes these marks are not quite as deep and still fresh there shouldn't be any scaring this time.” and he reaches for his re-generator “although it is still going to hurt a little. Have a seat”

I sit on the bed and Doc turns on his little torture device and points it at the first wound. I clench my hands on the edge of the bed and cringe a bit then say. “Doc you enjoy this don't you”

He responds “Of course I do. I like watching those that are always injuring themselves in pain.”

As the Doc finishes I say “That feels much better.”

Valesz says “ Doc do you mind if I use the viso screen in your office?”

Doc replies “Please do.”

Valesz walks into Doc's office and the door closes behind her. I glance down to my chest and the only scars left are the ones that Valesz gave me. I start to think back on that night (Oh that was a fun night with the three of them taking turns with me, quite simply having there way with me.)

The office door opens and Valesz walks out and says “Before we go to the party there is some one I would like for you to meet.”

I respond “Let's go. Thanks Doc.”

Doc responds “Your welcome.”

Valesz says “We will met you at the party in just a little while Doc.”

Doc “ I will tell everyone that you are on your way.”

Valesz looks at me and says “I have another surprise for you. Do you remember those other rooms that were level 8 access?”

I respond “yes, one was your room and another was a cargo hold and the 3rd looked a bit more like quarters in size.” she responds “Yes you are correct on both counts however, the cargo hold has been converted into a work area for some of our crew. They are the ones that I am taking you to meet. they won't be joining the party and you will see why when we get there.”

I respond “Is something wrong with them are they deformed in some way?”

Valesz responds “You will see.”

When we arrive at the cargo hold Valesz presses a few buttons on the door control pad.

The door opens reveling the two most magnificent creatures I have ever laid eyes on. They are Unicorn. I stammer a bit I. I thought that your kind was a myth. I am sorry where are my manners …

Valesz chimes in “Yes Paul they are unicorn, this is Sigrun and Alkippe (they are a pair of perfect white unicorns with flowing manes and tails)

Sigrun walks up to me and greets me with a hug and says “Thank you for taking care of Lakia when she was injured, she is a very dear friend to me and my mate.”

(I never thought that I would ever see a unicorn much less get to get hugged by one)

I respond “It was my duty to protect my shipmates, And I will most certainly do the same for you.”

Then Alkippe steps to me and greets me with a kiss, she says “We have heard all about you, we even watched you and Lakia fight on the viso screen. That was something else. Then there was the mating it was quite apparent that the two of you care very much for each other.”

Lakia says “Yes very much.”

Valesz and Katherine both say “Don't forget about us.”

I respond “I could never forget any of you.” then I turn to Sigrun and say “if I may be so bold as to ask are there any other Unicorn?”

He responds “Yes but very few, after the Mantis destroyed our home world and most of its inhabitants the only ones left were the few that escaped and those that were traveling in space. We try to keep our existence a secret to Populated Space for fear that the Mantis will hunt the rest of us down.”

Valesz says “We need to get to the party, you can come back tomorrow and visit. After we depart from the station.”

Alkippe says “We would enjoy your company very much you are welcome here any time, but I must ask that you tell no one about us.”

I respond “Well that door is closed and as far as I am concerned it will stay that way.”

Sigrun and Alkippe say “Thank you. Now go enjoy your party.”

I respond “I will be back tomorrow. I promise”

Katherine says “He will, you can bet on that.” Valesz, Lakia, Katherine, and myself all laugh as we exit the cargo hold. The doors close and Valesz stops to press a few buttons on the door control pad, then we all head to Zot's.

As we get to Zot's Valesz stops just before the door and says “Since this is a closed party there is no reason that we can't all be comfortable,” and she begins removing the dress that she is wearing. Katherine and Lakia follow suit. they look at me and say “Well?”

I respond “I was just enjoying the view before I take my clothes off.” Lakia walks around behind me puts her arms around my bare chest and picks me up then Valesz and Katherine quickly strip the rest of my clothes off.

Valesz says “There that's better now we get to enjoy the view too.” she begins eyeing me up and down and says “Nice, I like you much better this way.” She turns and walks into Zot's and the rest of us follow.

As we enter Zot's everyone starts throwing confetti and streamers at us. Valesz looks around Zot's “I hear her say “Good they are sitting together.”

She turns to me and says “There are two more for you to meet then you will know the whole crew, we are walking towards a table with a Beautiful Gold dragoness and a foxy fox.

Valesz says “Paul I would like you to meet Tiamat.” the gold dragoness, she looks to be close to Adelind's age, just as perky and curvy. “and Mikko” This slender female fox with her bright red fur and white underbelly and oh that fluffy tail. Both Tiamat and Mikko stand up and greet me with a hug.

Mikko says “We have been waiting to meet you Paul, we have heard some interesting stories about you.”

I respond “I hope they were all good one's”

Tiamat says “ Oh yes very good. The way that you helped Lakia when that freak attacked the three of you.”

I respond “I guess word spreads fast on a ship with friends as close on as everyone is on this ship”

Valesz says “Of course, I told you that we are one big happy family.”

I respond “I am very happy to be a part of this happy family.”

Lakia says “Who's up for some equine whiskey?”

Katherine “I am”

Valesz “Me too.”

I respond “Just one for me I have to work first thing in the morning, if I'm going to have dad's ship running at better than 4xl tomorrow I need to get some sleep tonight.”

Valesz says “Who ever said that you were going get any sleep any way.” with that toothy grin of hers, “And by the way, I wouldn't suggest that you let him hear you say that”

I respond “What that I am going to fix his ship in the morning?”

Valesz responds “The dad part. He don't even like me to call him dad. I think he has an issue with aging.”

I reply “Some how I don't think that is it. He carries himself to proudly and he is still a very magnificent dragon.”

Lakia finally gets the waitress's attention and its Hot-lips, she walks over to get our order she looks at me and says “Damn, ladies if I would have known about good he looks naked sooner you wouldn't have had a chance.” She sits in my lap and say what will everyone have?

Valesz goes first “Equine whiskey”

Lakia next “Equine whiskey as well, but I think Paul would like to have an order of you from what I can see.”

My cock has grown, she kept swishing her tail across my cock teasing me with it. She stands and says “Oh, did I do that? I will have to take care of that condition but first I need to go get these drinks.”

I respond “two more equine whiskey's please.” Hot-lips walks over to the bar and starts pouring the drinks. Valesz says you want some of that don't you?” I respond “ I have wanted that for several months now.” Valesz replies “There's nothing stopping you, it's okay you can fuck her if you wish, besides this maybe your last chance to fuck her for a long time.”

Capt. Nidhug walks up “ I say come sit with us Dad.”

He responds “Okay, son I think I will.”

Valesz looks at me with a very puzzled look on her face, and glances at her father, then back at me.

He says “How is it you won the heard of my daughter so quickly?”

I respond “ By doing things like I just did... like calling you dad, after she told me that it wouldn't be a good idea”

He responds “Normally she would have been right but in this case you seem to have proven yourself worthy from what I hear, you have made quite a name for yourself in the last few days.”

I respond “It is all because of your daughter she has opened my eyes to the universe around me, she has taken a diamond in the rough and polished it into a perfect diamond.” “Don't get me wrong I'm not perfect but in the last few days my life has taken quite a turn for the better, and I intend on keeping it in this direction.”

He responds “After tomorrow I think I will be able to tell you if you will be able to keep your life going in the right direction. I want to see how you handle yourself at work, that will tell me if you can.”

I respond “Very well then I will do my best to get your ship up to speed.”

He replies “If you will excuse me I have a briefing to attend.” he gets up gives Valesz a quick kiss and turns and shakes my hand. And says” I will see both of you on my ship at 08:00”

Valesz quickly responds “ 08:00 sharp”

Valesz looks at me and says “How it the hell did you know that he wouldn't knock you on your ass when you called him dad?” I respond “To be quite honest I didn't, that one was more of a hunch than knowing. I guessed that he didn't like you calling him dad because it was on a ship that perhaps he was in command. For you to call him dad would show a little favoritism and that gets disrespect. From his point of view anyway, and you can bet your sweet ass that I won't call him that on his ship.”

Valesz says “I never thought of it that way, I always thought that he did not like to show his feelings.”

I reply “Valesz your father loves you very much or he would not have come out of his way to be with you during the happiest moments of your life. Hell he just showed you how much he loves you by kissing you in this public place.”

Valesz says “I need to talk to my father tomorrow I have so much I need to tell him.”

I respond “Why don't you invite him to your ship for breakfast? we can make those steak's you enjoy so much then when I leave to go work on his engines you will have plenty of alone time with him. On your ship”

She replies “But he wants to watch you work. On his ship.” I reply “No he don't, he wants to get me alone and talk with me to get to know me better maybe to do a little prying, but its okay I know it's coming and I can deal with that. At least I think I can.”

Hot-lips walks back over carrying our drinks. She sets the platter down on the table and again sits in my lap passing out the drinks from her seated position and of course she is flicking her tail across my cock again making me grow harder with each flick of her tail. It don't take long for my cock to become rock hard.

I politely ask Hot-lips “Will you stand up for just a second I need to re-position I'm a bit uncomfortable.” She stands slightly, just enough for me to scoot forward in my chair slightly. Then I say “You can sit back down now thank you.” I hold my cock forward slightly and this time she puts her butt back against me and sits slowly gently guiding my cock into her hot wet pussy.

I reach for my drink and take a sip and say “Oh that's nice” Hot-lips responds “Me or the drink?”

I say “Both!!!”

She begins grinding her hips into mine and says “Your right it is nice isn't it.” as she continues her grinding. I glance around at everyone around us and no one seems to be paying any attention to this little fact. Well almost everyone.

Squeaky comes over to the table and says to Hot-lips “Would you mind if I join?” she slides the drinks out of the way and he hops his little butt onto the table and in no time she has his cock out and licking it teasing the tip with her tongue. He almost instantly begins chattering she reaches up takes hold if his cock and begins stroking him while sucking and licking on the tip. She continues to grind her hips into me working that pussy on my hard cock , I can feel her pussy clenching down on my cock, I grab her by the hips and begin thrusting my self into her.

She starts swishing her tail across my chest. It tickles and feels good at the same time. Squeaky begins chattering again he leans back throws his head back and starts squirting his love juice down Hot-lips throat try as she might to swallow it all she can't he is cumming so hard and fast she can't keep up. He keeps pumping his juice all over Hot-lips face. It starts to puddle on the table between Squeaky's legs.

Roxy walks over and says “Let me help you with that Hot-lips.” and she engulfs Squeaky's cock in a quick motion sending the tip of his cock down her throat. He begins chattering again and collapses on the table. While Hot-lips begins to try and lick herself clean, Katherine and Lakia begin licking her face and all the areas she can't reach. I stand and push the chair from under me with my legs, still buried deep in Hot-lips

Valesz gets up and begins kissing me sending her tongue down my throat this time I am ready for it and accept it quite readily, I hadn't noticed that she had dipped her tail into Lakia's hot wet pussy, and Lakia was doing the same for Katherine I reach down and begin teasing Valesz by brushing a finger over her clit. I glance up and notice that there is a pipe about three meters above the floor with some decorations hanging from it. It could easily hold even Jalad's weight. Valesz See's what I am looking and and realizes what I am thinking I reach down grab her by the waist and she jumps grabbing the pipe and wraps her legs around my head pulling my face straight into her sweet pussy.

I don't waste any time I begin licking and probing her hot pussy with my tongue she quickly wraps her wet tail behind me and thrust it into my ass. I moan and thrust hard into Hot-lips, she moans and her pussy clamps down hard on my cock and she begins to scream in pleasure as her nectar runs down my cock and drips onto the floor she collapses, laying down on top of Squeaky.

Then Xanthos and Ogrifina walk up and ask if they may join in.

Valesz responds in between moans “ yeeesssss … jj join in” I don't say a word just raise a hand with a thumb up and quickly resume squeezing Valesz's tight ass. Ogrifina steps in front of me. I can barely see her, but I can see that she has her tail raised , so I lean forward a bit inviting her to back herself onto me, while Xanthos notices just how much tail Valesz has in me. Xanthos sees that she has a good 36 cm in me and about 6.5 cm in diameter. Xanthos politely touches Valesz's tail inviting her to move it for him. she complies then he positions himself behind me and gently guides himself into me. I stop licking Valesz for a moment.

I ask Ogrifina “Would you mind if Valesz lays on her back for a while?”

She quickly responds “Not as long as you keep fucking me.”

Valesz releases the pipe and I help gently lay her down gently on Ogrifina's back. Now I'm slightly bent over Ogrifina's butt. Licking away at Valesz and getting fucked by Xanthos. Good thing he is gentile. Valesz curls her tail between Ogrifina and myself I lean back slightly to give her the room she wants and she quickly finds her mark and she thrust her tail deep into Ogrifina's ass. Ogrifina neighs loudly and instantly begins winking and squirting her lube all over me it seems to be coming out by the quarts. She is clamping her pussy so hard on my cock she is pushing me out most of the way and pushing me harder onto Xanthos hard cock and this seems to be driving him crazy he begins pounding harder and harder, still being careful not to hurt me but still very stimulating. Ogrifina neighs loudly again. Valesz squeezes her pussy hard on my tongue she arches her back and begins her orgasm. I lap up every drop as her pussy offers it to me. Ogrifina neighs again but this time when she winks she pulls me into her, flexing her pussy around my cock feeling her squirt her love juices all over me sends me over the edge I begin thrusting myself as deep as I can go into this wonderful female exploding deep inside of her while her mate is doing the same to me, I can feel his seed running down my legs in droves. I collapse on top of Ogrifina and just as I begin to catch my breath Xanthos collapses on top of me. We are all now a large pile of sweaty satisfied flesh.

From what I can see looks like we did it again most everyone else has already collapsed on the tables and floor from exhaustion. Well so much for getting drunk, but I think this was much more fun.

I say “Okay Xanthos, Big Boy I can't hold you up all night and I don't think that Ogrifina wants to hold everyone else up either.

Xanthos sighs and says “All right I'll move.” He gets up and I let out a sigh of relief as does Ogrifina.

I help Valesz down off of Ogrifina's back and she lets out another sigh of relief and says “Oh that was so much fun we will have to do that again soon.

I respond “We will, I'm sure of that.”

Valesz says “Let's head back to the ship and get cleaned up and get some sleep we all have a busy day tomorrow.”

I look at Xanthos and ask him if I can get his assistance in the morning with moving the engine core on captain Nidhug's ship.”

He responds “Anyone that can fuck his mate like that and not bust a nut the first time she winks can't be all bad, yes I will help you.”

I say “Meet me at the port at 07:45.” I reach over and wake Squeaky “Hey, time to get up and go to your quarters.”

He opens his eyes and says “Okay Boss no problem.”

I say “Meet me and Xanthos at the port at 07:45.”

He responds “Sure thing (squeak, squeak)” and he heads out the door.

Valesz and I gather up Lakia and Katherine and we all head for the ship. On the way there I ask “Where do you want to sleep tonight?”

Valesz responds “We can sleep in your room, we will pass right by the showers by the pool so we can all get cleaned up and go to bed. I need to call captain Nidhug and invite him like you suggested, before it gets to late.”

I respond there is a viso screen in the port office we can make a quick stop there if you like.”

She responds “That will do nicely.” … We finally get to my room and crawl into bed all snuggled against each other and drift off to a very peaceful sleep...  

great story so far

update

                                                                            Chapter 11

The chime wakes us from our blissful slumber. I look at the clock its 06:00 then I look at Valesz I gently touch her face she wakes up with a smile on her face. I say “Morning my love”

She leans toward me wraps her arms around me and gives me a deep passionate kiss and responds “Morning my love”

Katherine and Lakia are still sleeping I say “Let's get up and have breakfast ready when they wake up.”

We slide out of bed carefully trying not to disturb Lakia and Katherine. I say “If you will get the vegetables ready I will go to the galley and get the meat ready.”

She responds “Works for me.”

I ask “Has your father ever eaten eggs before?” she replies “I don't know, but I don't think so.”

On my way out the door I grab six eggs and some bacon. I say “We will have a treat for him this morning.”

When I arrive at the Galley there is no one here. I grab three steaks two large and one small. The small steak is about 1 kg. I set the steaks aside then get a medium bowl crack the eggs and begin mixing them, after that's done I toss the 6 slices of bacon in a skillet turn the heat on to get the bacon cooking first. then a pour the eggs into another skillet and put them on the heat. Flip the bacon and start seasoning the steaks now that the bacon and eggs are just about done, it's time to cook the steak. I drop mine in first wait a few moments and then toss the other two steaks in I flip the steaks wait only a few seconds and pull the two large steaks out while mine continues to cook for a little bit longer. I pull my steak and take the food and head back to my quarters.

When I arrive the door opens and I enter Katherine and Lakia are just waking up. Captain Nidhug is already here. He asks “So what is this special meal that you have prepared for us?”

I respond , seared steak, scrambled eggs, and bacon for the carnivores and a salad for the vegetarians.

He responds “ You cooked my steak?” Valesz chimes in “You will love it dad you have to try it.”

He glares at Valesz for a second then finally agrees “Okay, I will try it. Only because you say it's good.”

I continue getting the food placed for everyone to eat. Katherine and Lakia sit in the chairs leaving the spot on the sofa next to Valesz open. Before I sit, I say “Good morning Katherine and Lakia and give each of them a kiss.”

Then I walk to my spot and take my seat. I watch as Nidhug takes his first bite and his eyes roll back in his head all he can manage is “MMMMMMmmmmmm” He swallows then says “Never in my 200 years have I tasted a steak this good.” Then he turns to Valesz and says be careful or I may steal this one away from you.”

She laughs, then replies “Where would you take him your ship isn't as fast as mine now. He responds “Good point, but after today we will see.”

I say since I don't have as much time to work on your engines today as I had to work on this ship I don't know if I can get 5xl my goal to day is 4.2xl. He responds “that's only point 5xl faster than I can go now.” I reply “I was referring to cruising speed not max. speed”

Nidhug grabs a piece of bacon and pops it into his mouth and says “This meat is kind of salty, reminds me of last night with ….. oh never mind”

I respond “Had in interesting Debriefing huh” he replies “Something like that.”

Valesz says “Can we change the subject.”

I quickly respond “ I'm sorry yes we can change the subject.”

She says “Thank you.”

I say “After I am done working on the engines later we can take her for a little spin around the block”

Nidhug looks at me with a puzzled look on his face. I say “I'm sorry an old earth phrase. We will take the ship out for a quick test run and back.”

He replies That sounds good.”

Lakia says “How about a little dip in the pool this morning before we begin our day”

I look at the clock its only 07:00 I say “Sure we have time before I'm suppose to meet Xanthos and Squeaky”

Lakia looks at Katherine and says “Are you coming? It will be fun.”

Katherine agrees “Sure let's go.” The three of us get up and head towards the pool.

On the way there Katherine ask “Why are we going to the pool this early?”

I respond “Remember last night Valesz said that she wanted to talk to her father.”

She replies “Oh yes I remember now.” Lakia says “How about a few reps. before we hit the pool.”

I respond “After last night I'm doing good just to make it to the pool.” They laugh.

Katherine says “Ya Xanthos was hitting you pretty hard there at the end, he was buried all the way to his ring.”

I respond “He WHAT!!! no way he had that much in.”

Lakia responds “Yup and he was thrusting pretty hard there too”

Katherine says “I don't think I want anything that big in me, it almost looked painful.”

I respond “I didn't feel any real pain. It must have been all that tail I had had in me over the last few days, preparing me for something like that.” Lakia says “Looked like you were enjoying yourself.”

I reply “I was, I never knew that a mare could control their pussy like that.”

Lakia ask “How was it any different than being with any one of us?”

I respond “Well she can literally open her pussy at will and she can push me almost all the way out or pull me all the way in with her pussy. Oh don't get me wrong. I love the three of you and I will stand by you through thick and thin. but I have to say that was the most interesting sex I have had yet.”

Lakia responds “I'm glad that you enjoyed it, since they will be on the ship for quite a while perhaps you will get to experience that again.”

I respond “Perhaps but what we share I hope will last for a lifetime.”

We arrive at the pool room walking in side by side we all dive in and hit the water at the same time. We come up scattered around the pool. Lakia swims toward me and then dives underwater she takes hold of my waist and quickly wraps her mouth over my limp cock and begins to suck on it. Instantly I become hard and moan in pleasure. She comes up out of the water and quickly wraps her legs around my waist and lowers herself down onto my shaft I feel her hot wet pussy sliding down my hard pole then as she picks herself up the cool water rushes in to cool my shaft intensifying the feelings as she slides back down her pussy feels even hotter than the stroke before. She wraps her tail around me.

Lakia says “Maybe Ogrifina can control her pussy but can she do this.” I feel her probing for my hole and she quickly finds her mark and she easily slides in. I shudder as she enters me. I stammer out “ n n NO.”

Katherine swims over and says “Save some for me.”

Katherine reaches down into the water and begins playing with my balls squeezing them gently in her hand she begins sucking on Lakia's luscious tit. Seeing this turns me on even more I lean forward slightly and begin sucking on her other tit making her moan in pleasure. She begins working herself up and down on my shaft then I can feel her pussy squeezing down on my cock. She throws her head back holding on to my shoulders locks her legs around me pulling me deep into her and thrust her tail into me as she begins to scream my name “OH PAUL!!! YES! YES!” I can feel her cumming as her hot love juices escape into the cool water. She goes totally limp and begins to float on the top of the water

Katherine gives her a gentile push to move her out of the way and she takes Lakia's place riding my cock. She reaches down takes hold of my cock jumps up a bit in the water and wraps her legs around my waist as she guides my cock into her hot pussy she begins working herself up and down on my cock .

I begin biting her neck gently then she pulls away and swims off saying “Catch me if you can.” She is swimming towards the shallow section of the pool she gets to where the water is only about 1 meter deep, she grabs the side of the pool and says “Come and get it stud” while pointing her cute little butt at me.

I swim right at her underwater I grab her legs and stick my face right into her snatch and begin licking it viciously, probing her pussy with my tongue then I stop and blow bubbles just below her hot pussy and she begins to squirm with the tickling sensation of the bubbles. I come up out of the water stand behind her and guide my cock back into her she moans in pleasure. I begin thrusting myself into her I begin picking up speed and pushing harder and harder. She begins to moan loudly and her pussy clamps down on my cock as she has her first orgasm. I watch as her sweet love juices come oozing out of her lusciously wet pussy and kind of float in the water around us.

As her orgasm subsides she turns and says “Now that you have satisfied me that way how about some deer tail” understanding what she wanted I pulled back and guided my cock to her ass I push but she was quite tight there.

She says “It's okay push harder I want you in me there.” I push again and I finally get the head in she moans loudly and begins to cum instantly, squirting her love juices into the water with such a force I can feel it against my balls. I push again and go a little deeper and she pushes back forcing me all the way in she cums again this time right against my balls this with feeling of her tight ass sends me over the edge I make one quick hard thrust into her and begin releasing my seed into her. As we both moan in ecstasy.

I lay forward onto her back I grab hold of the edge of the pool just outside her hands holding us together with me still inside of her we both just kind of float there on the side of the pool while we regain our strength.

Lakia swims over to Katherine and me. She says “Looked like you enjoyed that?” both me and Katherine respond in unison “Yes we did.”

I say “Damn I need to go. I don't want to be late Squeaky and Xanthos will be waiting for me in a few minutes”

Katherine says “Lakia and I need to get to the bridge ourselves.”

We all get out of the pool and I grab some towels and hand Lakia and Katherine theirs.

while we are drying off Lakia walks over to a control pad she presses a few buttons and a red light in the ceiling comes on the pool starts draining. By the time that we are done drying off the pool is empty. As we are putting our towels in the reclamation unit I hear the water rushing back into the pool I notice the light has turned yellow as well. Lakia says “Wouldn't want to go for a swim and get a face full of cum or something would we?”

I respond “Nope. Before we go our separate ways for today how about we all meet at Zot's for lunch before we depart say 12:30 since we don't have any scheduled stops before we get to the dragon home world.

Katherine responds “We do have one stop scheduled but we might not stop since it will only take us nine days to make our delivery, and a nice get together lunch sounds nice.”

She wraps her arms around me and gives me a loving goodbye kiss. As we part Lakia is quick to move in and give me a kiss however this one is more intense she begins probing my mouth with her tongue pulling me tight against her body we finally break the kiss I say “I love you, both of you”

“Oh Katherine will you please invite Valesz and her father to lunch.”

She replies “I was planning on it.” as I watch them walk away towards the bridge both of them walking with that sway. (you know the one, that teasing hip swing that turns heads) I turn and head for the engine room to get my tools.

I quickly arrive at the engine room. I grab the top case that contains the tools that I will need then I grab the case that contains the anti-gravity units and head towards the port. As I approach the port I see that Xanthos and Squeaky are there waiting for me.

Xanthos says “Right on time” Squeaky says “Let me carry one of those for you.” I hand him the case with the Anti-gravity units, and say “thank you” We head for captain Nidhug's ship.

I ask Xanthos “What is your knowledge of engineering?”

he responds “Actually very little, I have only been in a engine room a couple of times.”

Then he ask “Why did you ask me to help you. Since you had no idea of my experience in engineering?”

I reply “To be honest I ask for your help for your bruit strength, if we have to move the engine core I will need your muscles.”

He says “ I thought that you enjoyed my muscles more than you let on last night.” We all laugh.

I reply “Since we are on the subject I was told that you had quite a bit in me, since you had the best view I was wondering if you could verify that you were buried all the way to your ring?”

Xanthos responds “Actually yes. I saw just how much tail the Captain had in you and knew that you could handle me. I never would have thought that a creature as small as yourself could have handled me as easily as you did last night and I was quite impressed with your control with my mate for that matter so was she.”

I reply “She was impressed by me?” Xanthos responds “Yes, we have both done a little research on human mating, and we found that the average human male will last about 10-15 minutes and have a penis about thirteen centimeters. And from what I could tell your considerably larger than that.”

I reply “I'm happy that I could bring pleasure to both of you. Oh and by the way you are the first male to have mated with me.” Xanthos responds “In that case I'm even more impressed. Perhaps we can do it again some time.” Just as we arrive at the ship I reply “Perhaps.”

Captain Nidhug is standing at port waiting for us.

Captain Nidhug says “Right on time. Welcome to my ship the Lamri.”

I respond “Thank you captain, permission to come aboard?”

He responds “Permission granted.” I say “Captain I will need computer access to complete my work he responds very well I will have my communications officer have your access copied from the Kameer to my ship as well.” I respond “ Thank you, that will do nicely.”

Nidhug says “Let's go to the engine room so you can get started.”

On the way to the engine room captain Nidhug stops at a computer console and calls to the bridge where he ask his communications officer to have the access copied to his ship. Then we continue on our way to the engine room.

I ask Nidhug “What exactly does your ship do at what speeds?”

He responds “When we get her up to 3xl she has a slight vibration and by the time we get her to 3.7xl it is a little more severe.”

I respond “ hmm that's almost exactly what the Kameer did”

He ask “Can you get her fixed?”

I respond “Does a dragon have a tail?”

He turns and looks at his tail and ask “Yes, but what does my tail have to do with the engines” I reply “Nothing, sorry just another earth expression, I will have these engines running smoothly before lunch.”

He responds “That's not possible. There is no way you can make the repairs before lunch.” I reply “Tell you what if I have the repairs done before lunch you buy lunch at Zot's. If I don't I will buy lunch”

He replies “Your on. But I need to warn you I can eat a lot of steak.”

I respond “That's okay I already have guest coming for lunch.” I say “If I may be so bold to ask, you said this morning something about 200 years, how long do dragons typically live?”

He responds “About 500 years, but few have been recorded to live to 700 years of age.”

Then he ask “How long do humans live?” I respond “Typically 70 a few make it to 100”

He says “Only 100 perhaps we can do something to change that.”

I respond “How can you change that”

He replies “We have been doing some genetic research over the last few hundred years we have finally gotten to the final testing stage, it has been tested on a few other species like Roo for instance they have a very similar life span as yourself but on the dragon home world Vivus we have a Roo that is nearly 200 years old and looks like she is her mid 40's in Roo years.”

I respond “That is defiantly something that I will want to think about.”

He responds “ I understand.”

I say “You understand what?”

He replies “That you care for Valesz very much and that you would hate to make her a widow at such a young age for her that is, you have to consider weather you want to keep her happy longer or live your life naturally.”

We arrive at the engine room. There we meet a beautiful Red dragoness.

Nidhug says “This is my engineer her name is Chusi. Chusi I would like you to meet.

Chusi interrupts “Paul Curtis, welcome to the engine room.” and she offers her hand to me and I gently press my lips to the back of her hand.

She smiles at me and says “You honor me. I reply “The honor is mine.”

Nidhug says “Keep that up and you will be buying my lunch for sure.”

I respond “Okay lets get to work. Squeaky do you remember what I had you do on the Kameer?”

Squeaky responds “Sure do boss (squeak squeak)” I say “Then you know what I want you to do.”

He responds “I'm on it boss (squeak squeak)”

I say “Computer what is the engine status?” the computer responds “The engine is operating at 79.5% efficiency.”

I say “Only slightly better than the Kameer when I started working on her.” I set my tool case down and Squeaky sets the other case right next to the one I just set down. I open the case and pull out the Quantum spanner and hand it to Squeaky, and he heads straight to work I pull out two of the anti-gravity units.

I ask Xanthos “Would you mind getting the other two anti-gravity units and lock them to the back of the engine core?”

Meanwhile I set the first two at the front of the engine leaving them stick out about 2 cm, I walk back to the tool case and pull out a laser torch and the optical scanner. I proceed to take the ship measurements. I find center of the ship and make a score in the floor just like I did on the Kameer. Then I take the optical scanner and start measuring the engine core and make a score on its casing just above the floor.

Chusi ask “What are you doing?” I reply “I'm going to center the engine core to the ship, if the core is not dead center the field will be misaligned and can cause the ship to shake.” Now that I have my marks I take the anti-gravity units and place them at the score marks and take another measurement. The optical scanner reads “7.2254862”

“Damn that's less than a millimeter difference than the Kameer was.” I say “Chusi would you get the status of the inertial dampeners please, I will bet that the starboard dampener on the bridge is burnt out..”

Chusi says “Computer what is the status of the inertial dampeners?”

The computer responds “ 7 of 8 of the inertial dampeners are functioning within specifications”

I say “You need to ask the computer for the diagrams of the dampeners and to show you each condition.”

She says “okay” then she says “Computer show me a diagram of the inertial dampeners and their status” I notice that she is looking intently at the viso screen.

Then Chusi looks at me and says “How did you know that dampener would be burnt out.”

I reply “I will answer later for now can you make sure that dampener gets replaced.

She responds “I will get a crew on it right now.” She turns back to the viso screen and calls to the bridge and says “ I need two engineering crew members down here” then I hear a response “They are on their way” In just a few minutes two male dragons enter the engine room. She commands them to begin repairs on the dampener on the bridge.

They move quickly to get the new unit before they leave the engine room I say to them “I will send Squeaky up to the bridge shortly to help with the dampener, he is small enough to get a couple of connectors that you won't be able to reach.” they respond “Very well” and exit the engine room with the dampener.

I ask Squeaky “How are you doing back there Squeaky?”

He responds “Almost half done.” When you Finnish the array that you are on will you go to the bridge and change the plugs like you did for me.

He responds “Sure thing boss (squeak squeak)”

I say “We are about ready to move the core.” I say “Chusi will you release the mag-locks on the core while I set these two anti-gravity units on the front of the core.”

She responds “I'm on it”

I say to Xanthos “Will you turn on the anti-gravity units on that side of the engine on, so we can get them to sync”

He responds “Okay they are on.”

I say “Okay now is when I really need you Xanthos” He walks around to my side of the engine and gets behind me and says “ are you ready?” I ask “Ready for what?”

He grabs my hips and I say “Whoa big boy!” I need you to help move the core, I wasn't referring to sexually.”

He laughs and says “ I know I was only teasing.”

Chusi laughs and says “You couldn't take him any way he is to big for you, hell I'm a female and I couldn't take him”

I respond “Tell you what, if I can take him will you take him?” Chusi says “Your on, I know there is no way your going to take him in you. So I don't have to worry about it.”

I respond “let's get this engine finished then we will see, but before you take him I will let you take me that will at least make it a bit easier for you.” I reach down and turn on the last anti-gravity unit. The units start beeping. I say when the units have a constant beep they are in sync and we can move the core” ...beep beep beep BEEEEEEEP on 3 1..2..3 we push the core it slides much easier than the core on the Kameer.

I look at the marks “Damn we over shot by a good centimeter. How about this time I let you push it by yourself.”

Xanthos responds “No problem I hardly put any effort into the last push.” Xanthos walks around the core to the other side.

I say any time your ready he pushes the core. It slides

I say “Just a little bit more “ he pushes again and the core stops with the marks directly in line.

I say “Perfect, thank you Xanthos.”

I say “Squeaky should be walking through that door, right” …. just then Squeaky walks in. and I finish my sentence “ NOW”

Chusi asks “How did you know exactly when he was going to be here?” I reply “There is one thing that I can count on Squeaky for and that's punctuality”

Squeaky says “Yup he won a bet on me because of it and Katherine learned not to bet against Paul.”

Chusi says and why not bet against Paul?”

Squeaky replies “he never looses” she responds “Oh shit.” Squeaky “You didn't bet him did you?”

She quickly replies “Yes, Xanthos walked up behind Paul and acted like he was going to fuck him, I said that there is no way that Paul was going to be able to take Xanthos.” Squeaky says “You have already lost they have already umm well mated.”

Chusi looks at me and says “You know if you wanted me all you would have had to do was ask , I already find you attractive, both of you. Though I am a little concerned if I can handle as much cock as I suspect you have Xanthos.”

Squeaky goes back to work on the injectors. I follow him. I whisper to Squeaky “Something is making me feel uneasy about captain Nidhug. Will you leave the last two arrays three microns out of alignment. Just in case there is any trouble that will slow his ship down just a little,

and besides I told him that I would get his ship to 4.2xl”

Squeaky says “Whatever you want boss.”

I respond “Thank you.” and I walk back to where Chusi and Xanthos are, and do I get a surprise. Xanthos is just getting ready to make his first thrust in to Chusi. While she is leaning over a table. He pushes and pop the head goes in she screams in pleasure and covers the head of his cock in her sweet juices. He pulls back out and pushes right back in and she screams again. I watch intently while he works his massive cock into the tight little dragoness. It don't take long until he is all the way in to his ring.

Watching this gets my own blood flowing and my cock quickly begins to grow. I walk around the table and kneel in front of Chusi I put my hands on each side of her beautiful face and look deep into her golden dragon eyes as I draw nearer to her and I begin kissing her passionately probing her mouth with my tongue she quickly returns the kiss sending her tongue down my throat. I gently break the kiss. I stand up and place my hard cock before her and she sends out her long snake like tongue wrapping it around my shaft. She pulls her tongue back into her mouth and me with it. Now engulfing my stiff member she begins working her mouth over my cock constantly massaging my cock with her tongue like a snake constricting its victim.

Xanthos pounding harder into her now thrusting his massive member deep into her tight wet pussy she begins to moan again sending waves of pleasure throughout my body she is having another massive orgasm Xanthos feels this too and is now slamming into her as deep as he can go. She squeezes her tongue tightly around my cock and this feeling of tightness sends me over the edge and I begin spewing my hot cum down her waiting throat she's swallowing every last drop. She continues licking my hard cock making it throb and twitch while she licks the last few drops as they ooze from my member. While Xanthos gives her one final thrust he begins filling her tight wet pussy with his seed. She is so full with his massive cock it has no where to go so it sprays out between his cock and the tight walls of her pussy. Leaving a large puddle on the floor between her feet. Xanthos collapses laying down on Chusi's back and I drop to my knees on the floor in front of Chusi she reaches to me and takes hold of my face while she is pulling me towards her she says that was wonderful, Both of you and she begins kissing me again, probing my mouth with her long tongue. She finally breaks the kiss and releases me I fall back to the floor sitting just below Chusi.

Then captain Nidhug walks in and says “I see that you have made yourselves comfortable.”

I respond “Yes sir, Squeaky should be done momentarily” Nidhug responds “But its only 10:00 I didn't expect you to be done for at least another hour. And you still found time to mate with my engineer, Impressive.”

Squeaky comes walking from around the corner. He says “All done sir. squeak squeak”

I get up off the floor and say “Computer what is the engine status?” the computer responds “the engine is running at 98.1% efficiency.”

I say “That's an18.6 % increase.” Nidhug says “I'm thoroughly impressed now” I respond “Your absolute max speed is 4.98xl, you should be able to cruise at 4.5xl but I would recommend a slightly lower speed of 4.3xl because these engines have been run pretty hard and it will save you a lot of maintenance time. Nidhug says “I guess I will owe you that lunch after all. Let's go to the bridge and give the engines a workout.”

I agree “ Let's see what she can do, but do you mind if we get a quick shower first ”

Nidhug responds “ I will see you on the bridge in say 10 minutes. And by the way I wanted to inform you that the crew is done replacing the inertial dampener on the bridge.”

I reply “In 10 minutes, and thank you” The captain turns and exits the engine room. We head for the nearest shower room with Chusi leading the way me right behind her. I can't help but watch her tail swinging from side to side and her cute little butt.

I say “Nice tail you got there”

She responds “Thank you, nice cock you have.”

I reply “Thank you.”

We quickly arrive at the shower room and we all enter and turn on the showers. I say “ Xanthos and Squeaky you don't have to go to the bridge, if you would like you can return to the Kameer.

Squeaky says “Thank you squeak squeak”

Xanthos says “Are you sure you want to be left here alone?”

I respond “Thank you for your concern, but I will be fine. I think that captain Nidhug still has a little something up his sleeve but I think I can handle myself. I have a couple of aces up my sleeve too”

Xanthos responds “Sleeve you are not even wearing a shirt , what sleeve?”

I reply “Sorry another earth expression, it simply means that I have a couple of tricks of my own.”

Xanthos says “Interesting terminology.”

As Squeaky begins to dry off I tell him “When you see Valesz please tell her that if we are not back in say 20 minutes to come looking for us.”

Squeaky responds “Will do boss, and I will take your tools back for you as well. Squeak squeak.”

I respond “Thank you Squeaky,” and they head back to the engine room to get the tools. Then Chusi turns to me wraps her arms around my neck and begins kissing me again. Sending her tongue down my throat.

Then she breaks the kiss and says “You just taste so sweet I had to do it again, it may be a very long time before I get the chance again.”

Then I wrap my arms around her and return the kiss with a very deep passionate kiss, entangling our tongues together. I pull her body close to mine holding her tightly. Then we break the embrace and I say “A little more to remember me by”

She says “We need to get to the bridge, we don't want to be late.”

I respond “No we don't.” We grab our towels and quickly dry off toss them in the reclamation unit and head towards the bridge.

We arrive at the bridge the door opens and we both enter. Nidhug says “Right on time, helm set a course out. Communications inform the station that we will be un-docking for a short period.”

They both respond “Aye captain.” and each preform their jobs perfectly. Nidhug says “After we have cleared the station set speed to 4.5xl then increase slowly to 4.9xl”

The helmsman says “Speed 2.5xl..3.0xl..3.5xl..4.0xl..4.5xl.. increasing rate 4.6xl..4.7xl..4.8xl..4.9”

Nidhug says “Slow to 3.5xl and bring us about and dock at the station.”

Then he turns to me and says “ Will you join me in the briefing room?” I agree and follow him. After we have entered the room he says “Computer seal the door level 8”

The computer responds “ Door sealed level 8”

Nidhug looks at me and says “I have a question that you must answer.”

I respond “If I can.”

He says “I know that the Kameer has a sealed cargo hold, it is not uncommon for a dragon vessel to have a secret cargo, but I need to know what her cargo is. What is she carrying in that hold?”

I respond “I can't answer that question Sir.” he steps toward me and ask again “WHAT IS SHE CARRYING?”

I again respond “I can not answer that question SIR.”

He draws his hand back and strikes me sending me flying back into the wall, he then take a claw and grabs my throat and says “If you do not tell me I will kill you.”

I respond “Kill me if you must but I will not answer that question. My loyalty is to my ship and her crew.”

He responds “ Had you answered that question I would have had to kill you. I'm glad that you did not. I am sorry for putting you through that but I had to know for myself just how loyal you were.”

I ask “Why is my loyalty in such regard” he responds “For the moment I have a cargo of my own that I would like to transfer to Valesz's ship and I had to be sure that you could be trusted because I will be depending on you to take care of my cargo as well as you have taken care of my ship.”

I respond “May I ask what this cargo is?” he responds “No we never talk about a secret cargo, but I will show you. Come with me.”

He says “Computer release door seal” the computer responds “Door is open” We exit the briefing room.

He says “ helm all stop” then he turns to his first officer and says “You have the bridge, maintain current position.”

We exit the bridge. Heading towards the cargo hold area. Nidhug says to me “I owe you a great debt. Valesz told me how you opened her eyes towards how I felt about her, and the reasons that I acted the way I do around her.”

I ask “Is this another test?”

He responds “No just a dragon to man talk, my son.” and he places his arm over my shoulders as we walk down the corridor. He says “ Valesz and me haven't talked like that in many years, I am glad that I can do so again, and it is all because of you.”

I reply “What did I do?” he responds “You have shown her that she can be happy again and still be in control of her life, until you came along all she had was her ship, but now she has found happiness again. That is why I owe you a great debt.”

I respond “You owe me nothing Sir, in fact if you hadn't raised her like you did I may never have met her. so it is I that owes you.” he says “We are almost there, you are about to take on an honor that no human has seen in thousands of years.” we arrive at a cargo hold and Nidhug presses a few buttons on the pad and the door opens revealing a beautiful pair of unicorn, and

I exclaim “UNICORN, I thought that they were a myth “( I couldn't let Nidhug know that I have already seen a pair of them) then I say “They can't be real” Nidhug says “They are real all right.” The stallion walks up to me.

Nidhug says “This is Celer”

I offer my hand to Celer, he takes it and says “It's a pleasure to meet you, your all Nidhug could talk about all night last night, and since your here I guess you passed his test.”

I respond “I guess I did, and the pleasure is all mine” Celer steps back and the mare steps forward.

Nidhug says “and this is “Dinos, Celer's mate.” She offers her hand to me I step in and give her a hug, and whisper very quietly into her ear “ Have I got a surprise for you two.” l lean back slightly and give her a kiss on the cheek. Nidhug ask “ Do you think that you can talk to Valesz into taking on these passengers.” I respond “Yes I can but I think I would rather make it a surprise for her.” Nidhug responds “She has never been one for surprises”

I reply “On the contrary I have found that she loves a good surprise, and what could be better than taking on such a beautiful and unique pair of creatures.”

Nidhug says now all we have to do is to call her and get her out here so we can get them aboard the Kameer. I respond no we don't she will be here in about ten minutes. I need to get to a computer console.” Nidhug responds there is one just down the corridor.”

I quickly exit the room with Nidhug right behind me, I get to the computer and say “Computer create a audio link with the Kameer.”

The computer responds “link established”

I say “Katherine can you hear me?” Katherine responds “Yes.”

I say “I need you to setup a link to the briefing room and have the captain talk to me in there please.”

She responds “Consider it done.”

I say “Computer activate video mode.” a few seconds later the screen lights up showing Valesz. I say “ Kameer computer seal briefing room door level 7 authorization Alpha Gama Omega 1101 green.” The computer responds “ door sealed level 7” Valesz says “Damn it will you quit surprising me with the computer controls. Now what the hell is all this about? and why are you sitting adrift in space ”

I respond “I don't want to talk to much about it but I need you to dock with the Lamri we are taking on More Cargo... I wouldn't have done this if I didn't think that you would approve. I need the decks cleared and a path to the cargo area clear.”

She responds “Very well but I will expect an explanation when you get back on this ship.” I will give you one right now “I can say that they are not deformed. Trust me.”

She responds “Very well then I will have the decks cleared and I will meet you at the port. We will dock in 5 minutes. Valesz out ”

Nidhug says “You do have a way with my daughter don't you. How the hell she understood half of what you said is beyond me. It was so cryptic.”

I respond “We have a trust and understanding about each other.”

Nidhug says “She definitely made a good choice by mating with you, such love, devotion and loyalty, most only have one of those quality's in abundance but you seem to have all three.”

I say “Now before we move the cargo I recommend that you clear the decks.” I step back from the computer.

Nidhug steps to the computer and says “Computer ship wide com.”

The computer responds “com open.” Nidhug says “This is your captain speaking I want all personnel to report to the bridge immediately.” Nidhug says “by the time we get back to the hold it will be all clear.”

I respond “We need to move quickly.” We hurry back to the cargo hold. Nidhug opens the doors, and we enter. Nidhug says to the unicorn “It is all arranged gather your personal belongings and lets go to the port.”

The unicorns begin rapidly gathering their things in just a couple of minutes Celer says “We are ready lets go.”

On the way to the port I ask “Why are we taking you to the Kameer anyhow?”

Celer replies “To be honest we are hoping that on the Kameer it will be a little different Nidhug tells us that there are many different species on the Kameer and this ship is mostly dragon. We are hoping for some variety of conversation and different things to do.”

I respond “I can say this I promise that you will enjoy being on the Kameer especially if what you want is variety.” Nidhug says here we are, now all we have to do is wait.” Then we hear the sound of metal hitting metal, then a release of gases and the door opens. Valesz has a look of surprise on her face.

Nidhug says “You never even knew that we had unicorn on board did you.”

She replies “No I didn't, but we must hurry.” She gives her father a big hug and then turns and says “Let's go everyone.” then Nidhug steps toward me gives me a hug and says “Now you take good care of that cargo and my daughter”

I respond “I will you can count on me.” He says “Now go !!!” just before the door closes

I hear him say “See you back at the station”

Valesz rushes us to the cargo hold. And just before she opens the door , I say “Hold on for just a second”

Valesz says “ why?”

I look to Dinos and say “Remember when I kissed you on the cheek and told you that I had a surprise for you.” she responds “Yes?”

I say “You are about to get that surprise.” Then I look to Valesz and say “Okay open it.” Valesz presses the last button and the door opens. The unicorn have a total look of amazement on their faces all four of them. Then Celer and Dinos drop there belongings and run into the room and begin hugging the other unicorn.

I look to Valesz and say “ I guess they know each other.” I drag there belongings into the room and tell them that we will be back later to check in on them. Dinos runs over to me and picks me up and gives me a big kiss, and says “Thank you , you do know how to surprise a female don't you.”

Valesz says “He sure does.” Dinos sets me back down.

I say “We will be back in a little while.” Valesz and I exit the room and Valesz seals the door.

We head for the bridge when we get there the door opens and Valesz says “We have taken on more cargo that is going back to Vivus with us. This is a closed door topic. Now everyone as you were before this all started.”

Everyone started scattering the bridge was emptied very quickly except for her needed crew. Valesz says “helm take us back to the station.” then she looks to Lakia and says “Lakia when we get back to the station I want you and Katherine to go get 600kg of vegetables, oh and get 2 cases of that...

She looks at me and says “What did you call what you put on the salad?”

I reply “vinaigrette.”

then Valesz continues “ vinaigrette and a case of seasoning for the meat and have it delivered to our food stasis unit.” Lakia responds “Aye Captain” then Valesz says “just as soon as that is on board we will head for home”

I look to Valesz and say “Will we still have time for our lunch at Zot's?, It may be a while before you get to see captain Nidhug again.

She agrees “Lakia instead of coming back to the ship meet us at Zot's they know where to deliver the food to.” they get the ship docked Valesz says “if you have any business that needs to be done on the station you have one hour.”

The three of us head to our quarters to get some clothes. After I get to my quarters and get my clothes on I stop by the engine room hoping to find Squeaky, and sure enough he is there

I ask Squeaky Would you mind going back to the Lamri and tweak the last 2 arrays to spec.” he responds “No problem squeak squeak”

I say “Make sure your back here in one hour we will be heading for Vivus then.”

I turn and head for the port. There Valesz is waiting for me. I say “I hope you weren't waiting long.”

She responds “No I just got here myself.” I reply “Shall we and I take her hand and we walk to Zot's. Just as we get to Zot's we see captain Nidhug walking in. After we walk in .
