Alien Girls

by Rodzil LaBraun

  The grin she gave me encouraged another question. "We're sure that recipient cannot be you?"

  Vanilla smiled before answering. "I am flattered by your interest, but I cannot get pregnant and still perform my duties as a doctor and scientist to the high level that I desire. I'm not saying that I will never want you inside of me," she whispered.

  "Am I interrupting something?" Cinnamon's voice was pitched even higher than usual. How much of the conversation did she hear?

  "What's up?" I asked. My attention had bounced around quite a bit over the last couple minutes. First to my commitments. Then to my desire to have sex with my crew mates, especially the two alien girls. Then to penetrate the seemingly unattainable sweet snatch of the doctor. Cinnamon's presence so quick suggested that something might be an issue in the control room.

  "We need you up front," Cinnamon said with a strange stare toward Vanilla. She must have at least heard that last part of my conversation with the doctor.

  I rose to leave, but then remembered that I hadn't yet committed to the doctor's terms. Turning back to her I said, "I accept."

  "Thank you, captain," I heard her say as I was leaving the galley. It caused me to falter briefly before exiting the dining area.

  A few steps down the hallway Cinnamon brought me to a halt. "Captain?"

  My grin could not be avoided. I had never in my life played a game so well as the one I had been playing with this crew of late.

  "Are you winning every woman but me over with that cock of yours?" she said in outrage.

  "What? No!"

  I initially struggled to see her viewpoint, but the fog was clearing as I tried. My relationship with Honeysuckle improved dramatically while we were held in an underground cell together. Our sexual encounter there had a lot to do with it. My sex with Strawberry a few days ago certainly was intended to win her over. She may have thought that was how Coffee and I had gotten so close. And honestly, I couldn't deny that one either.

  "Trust me," I said, remembering how people back on Earth would laugh when I used that expression. "That conversation wasn't what it sounded like. I'm not going to have sex with Vanilla." Anytime soon, I thought to myself. "She's onboard with the change in leadership."

  "Obviously," Cinny responded. "She just called you captain."

  "She had some other requests that I'm happy to tell you about. Do you want to hear them now? Or is there really an issue I need to deal with in the control room?"

  I received my first dirty look of the day. After a moment, she simply gestured for me to go, then followed at a pouty distance.

  "Sitrep?" I barked out as I entered the control room. I was starting to get extremely comfortable with this new arrangement that put me solely in charge.

  "Sit what?" Honey asked with a befuddled expression.

  "It means situation report," I explained. "What is the dealio?"

  "Should we start making a list of these new words?" Strawberry asked.

  "Maybe," I answered. I wasn't ready to bark out orders just yet, or demand that everyone onboard learn my lingo. "Is there an issue that needs my attention?"

  "Yes," Honey replied. "I spotted a second ship entering the system."

  "How were we..."

  "They are apparently coming from a different star system," Strawberry answered my question before I could even finish. "We can't stay hidden from both at the same time for quite a while. I want to shut down the engines where we are, but I figured you would like to be in on that decision. What do you think?"

  The three women present all studied my reaction. Perhaps for different reasons. I felt like Strawberry was testing me. Honey was genuinely waiting for my orders. And Cinnamon had issues of her own still.

  My plan was to move again before shutting off the engines. That would give us not only more time to remain hidden, but a chance to escape the system once our new nav-girl was ready without being spotted. A second ship changed things dramatically. At least until they were both in the same place.

  "Is this another ship from the same company?"

  "I can't say for sure," Strawberry replied. "But it is another class M. I think that it is likely that they are connected considering the timing."

  "Cool," I said then.

  "What is cool about it?" Cinnamon asked in a lower tone than usual. Was she still upset about overhearing the doctor say that she wasn't against me penetrating her vagina at some point?

  "They are probably going to the same place," I answered proudly. It was always a good thing when I looked smarter than them. "We just have to wait until they are both on the other side of this moon before we consider leaving. Does that sound right to you, partner?"

  Strawberry smiled. "Yes, it does. Powering down now."

  Some lights on the monitors faded out, but otherwise there was no abrupt indication that the engines had powered down. It wasn't like an automobile shutting off. My first car used to sputter in panic each time I turned the key off, like it was choking on its last breath.

  "Now we play the waiting game," Honey said.

  "You all can sit around and wait," Strawberry told her. "I have some studying to do if we are going to leave this system in one piece."

  CHAPTER SIX:

  Nothing much happened for a while as we waited for our opportunity to finally flee the star system. We remained undetected as far as we could tell. The saucy redhead studied her navigation guides diligently in the control room, barely taking any breaks to eat and pee. The dragons snored ferociously in the cargo hold causing undue alarm at times. And I made my rounds.

  Aeren and Mixi remained together most of the time despite their separate room assignments. When they weren't resting they were learning. How to read English using their tablets. How to operate the food processors. The advanced bathing practices found on our ship. When I offered to help with that last one Vanilla nearly chased me off.

  Teddy settled into his new room without complaint. The human designed bed sat as high as he stood tall, but his athleticism eliminated any need for a ladder or stairs. He too studied his tablet relentlessly, though there was only so much data available to him. Roughly once per hour he sought me out to see if there was anything that I needed him to do. His eagerness to contribute was a good sign that he wanted to stick with us for a while. To keep him busy I had him feed the dragons and the evil bitch that had been placed in his former cell.

  Strawberry and I agreed that it was best to not let Sage out to use the bathroom like a civilized person. She would have to piss and shit in a pot just like the other animals. I supervised the doctor's lone visit to our former leader. It was important to put her mind at ease regarding the woman's health.

  "Having second thoughts?" I asked Vanilla after we left the cargo area. She was the last person that I wanted to see get a new uniform. Her short white skirt was absolutely phenomenal at showing off her creamy smooth thighs.

  "Why would I?' the doctor replied.

  "I thought that maybe you two were friends."

  "She was my commanding officer. Nothing more."

  "You are okay with her remaining in the cage?" I asked.

  "For now," Vanilla replied. As I began to wonder what she meant by that, she added, "It is best that she is sent off this ship as soon as possible. For morale’s sake if not for her own health."

  I couldn't disagree with that.

  I didn't ask anything of the good doctor except to keep the occupants of our ship healthy. The remainder of her time could be used as she saw fit. Though I never kept tabs on her, I knew she was spending much of her time studying and documenting tissue samples from the variety of alien life forms that we had aboard.

  Her publishing her findings would reveal the existence of these creatures on our ship. That could be a problem and invite an investigation. However, that should be at least a year from now. A lot could happen before then. I decided not to worry about that particular problem anytime soon.

  Strawberry offered to take a shift watching the monitors for
activity during the night, but I wouldn't allow it. Once she was too exhausted to continue her studies she headed off to her new bedroom. All her possessions had been transferred over to the captain's quarters. We would have to rename that room to avoid confusion. It wasn’t like there a was sign outside the door.

  That left a rotation of just me, Cinnamon and Honeysuckle to cover the control room's stream of scan data. I had originally planned to keep two of us on duty at a time, but the task was so boring. Honey offered to handle the job for the first three hours. After that, I would relieve her. Cinnamon was still the weakest of us due to her injury during my escape sequence from the caverns. I wanted her to get a full night's sleep. But it didn't work out that way.

  "Can I join you?" she asked from the doorway of my bedroom as I lied there wide-eyed, unable to sleep. I, of course, invited her in. "I thought that you and I were going to be spending all our nights together."

  "We are," I replied, scooting over to make room for her. "But I was assuming that you needed your rest."

  "I can rest in your arms, you know."

  "That is true," I said as I welcomed her head onto my shoulder. She was still dressed in her uniform, but no shoes. I pulled the cover over her wondering if I would be able to sneak out in a few hours without waking her to relieve Honey at scanner duty.

  "Did you have sex with Honey in the caves?" she asked as she snuggled against my chest. There was no malice in her tone. However, combined with the Vanilla incident, I was sure that she was feeling insecure about our relationship. I didn't want to lie to her. If I did, I would certainly be discovered eventually. The two girls were very close friends and didn't hide much from each other.

  "We did have sex," I answered tentatively.

  "I can tell by the way she looks at you now. It must have been quite an experience."

  "It was.... unique."

  "She asked me for permission," she whispered after my reply. I knew that I wasn't doing a good enough job to make her feel better about her position. "She wants to share your bed at night. I'm not sure if she intends to take turns or to be in here with me as well."

  "What did you tell her?" It would be crowded for sure. The mattress had to be smaller than what we considered full size in my time. But having both of their naked bodies draped across mine sounded like fun.

  "Nothing," she said quietly. "I wasn't sure what to say. I just got you back. I don't want to share you anymore. But now, the two of you have gotten so much closer, in a way that I haven't been agreeable to do..."

  "That's not what it is about," I told her.

  "Regardless," Cinny said to me, obviously unconvinced. "It's not fair of me to exclude her if you want her in your bed. I figured that I should let you decide. But naturally, I know what you want. And I'm not sure that I'm ready to hear that. So, I thought maybe we could cuddle for a couple hours before I am replaced."

  "Replaced?"

  "You look at her differently, too," she continued. "The way that you used to only look at me. Somehow, when it was only sex, it didn't matter as much. I know that I shouldn't feel betrayed. You haven't done anything wrong. It is not like we established an exclusive relationship. But still, I had hoped that your heart would always belong to me. Just me."

  I wasn't sure what to say. A few lies came to mind. But not only would they not be believed, but I also didn’t want to deceive her. I needed Cinnamon's trust more than I needed it from anyone before in my life. Both Honey and Strawberry wanted to take a place by my side. Yet, they each knew that Cinnamon was already firmly positioned on the other side. The stunning brunette was special to me like no other person in my entire life had been. Not even my family.

  "You don't have anything to say?" she asked. I could hear sadness in her voice. She felt like she was losing me. What could I say to give her peace of mind that she wasn’t?

  "I'm not going to lie to you, Cinny girl," I said, choosing my words carefully. "I love you more than anyone that I have ever loved in my life. The majority of the time that I spent in those caves I was a wreck thinking that I would never see you again."

  "I must admit that I was the same way," she said, glancing toward me. I could tell that I was headed in the right direction. Don’t fuck it up, I told myself.

  "Getting back to you meant everything to me. I even convinced Aeren, Mixi and Mavi to help me escape."

  "Mavi?" she asked. "Was she the horned woman with extremely dark skin?"

  "Yes," I answered. "She was fierce in battle, and had become a friend of mine, of sorts. I will miss her, but not nearly as bad as her two friends will. They gave up their world to help me."

  "I'm sorry that she died in your escape. Did you have sex with her, too?"

  "No, Cinny. I didn't. In fact, I didn't have a real sexual experience with any of those three," I told her. I didn't think that it was the right time to bring up the bondage fucking that I received from the bunny girl. Though Mixi stroked my cock to get me hard for the experience, I wasn't considering that a legitimate sexual action. Hopefully, my girl didn't question my use of that term.

  "I want to know what you and Honey shared down there in the cave to make you both act so differently now," she said. "If you don't mind telling me."

  Avoiding this conversation was going to hurt my relationship with Cinnamon. I had originally hoped that it wouldn't be such a big deal, but I was fooling myself. I certainly never had a girlfriend back on Earth that wouldn't go total ape-shit if I had sex with one of her friends, let alone fall in love with the girl.

  That's what happened. I fell in love with Honey during our time together. I knew what the genuine emotion from deep within my heart was, because I had already experienced it with Cinnamon. I just didn’t feel like the one reduced the other.

  "We made passionate love to each other," I told my number one girl without reluctance. "Our time together brought us extremely close. I now love you both dearly and will do whatever it takes to make each of you incredibly happy. I've never been in this situation before, so I am bound to make mistakes. But I want you to know that my feelings for you have not diminished in the least. My heart has simply grown two-fold during the experience. I want you both by my side, and in my bed. I'm sorry if that hurts you, but I love you too much to lie about it. What do you want to do?"

  She had tears in her eyes when she looked up at me. But somehow, she didn't look all that sad. I wasn't sure what to make of it except that pouring out my heart was the right way to go.

  "No one has ever made me feel special the way that you do," she whispered. "Not even my parents. I don't want that to end."

  "You will always be very special to me."

  "I believe you," she said as her gaze bounced between my two eyes, as if one of them might be lying. "But it might be because I want so badly to believe you. But deep in my soul I know that there is a barrier between us. And it is only there because I have refused to tear it down."

  I stared at her confused. What kind of barrier was she talking about? Emotional? Or was she referring to our limited sexual experience.

  "I love you, Kash. I never want to be separated from you ever again. And I want you to always feel the same way."

  "I will. I promise," I told her sincerely.

  "Then, if you don't mind. Could you do me a favor?"

  "Anything," I answered. And I meant it, short of killing someone.

  "Will you make passionate love to me? Right here? Right now?"

  CHAPTER SEVEN:

  I gently slid down in the bed to place my face beside Cinnamon's. Nerves caused me to hesitate briefly. This was the most pure woman that I had ever held in my arms. She deserved much better treatment than I had given Honeysuckle in that dungeon. Hell, she deserved better than me. But here I was, given the opportunity. More than anything, even more than my desire to captain this crew, I didn't want to screw this up.

  Go slow, I told myself. Think of her, not yourself. Always, until the very end. Think of making this the best moment of her life.

br />   I reached for her cheeks with both hands, fully intending to plant a big wet kiss on her lips. But the innocence in her eyes took my breath away. I took an extra moment to study her beautiful face instead, using the lightest touch from my fingertips to guide my eyes. She began the slightest whimper as one tear gently rolled down her cheek.

  I found her lips then. Softly, delicately. Applying almost no pressure I held the contact forever. My eyes closed in the pure love of the action, just like hers. The Zen state that I reached in that instance was the calmest that I had ever been in my life. I found what pureness that there was in my soul and used it to guide me.
