Space Rogue

by Jay Toney

  Within the first few minutes of the performance, I grew bored. I decided to let my fingers do a little exploration under Tanya's mini dress. I was starting to have a little fun when she turned to me and said, "Nathaniel, not here. We might get caught, and I want to listen to the opera."

  No sooner had she spoken those words, a light shown on me. The ushers escorted me outside, where I would have to wait for my wives. I don't know why, but I was suddenly feeling a little woozy. I sat on an outside bench, hoping the performance would be over soon. That was my last conscious thought.

  I woke the next morning in a strange room, naked, without any clothes, and with a pounding headache. I used the hostel's comm system to call my ship. A worried Natasha answered my call. I asked her to bring me some clothes, and told her where I was located.

  Natasha, Tanya, and Amber were quick to arrive at the dive I spent the night in. I told them that I had only had the two drinks, and was waiting on a bench outside the opera house. I felt woozy and must have passed out. I also didn't have any recollection of what happened afterward.

  Tanya said, "Normally I wouldn't believe you. We looked for you after the concert. When we couldn't find you, we questioned the employes at the opera house. Evidently someone drugged you and robbed you dumping your body here. The station has been alerted to what happened to you, and the authorities have been searching for you. Your picture has been broadcast all over the station comms, requesting any information about your whereabouts. Natty, let the station's police know we found you. This dive has been used for dumping bodies frequently, and is under investigation. The hostel manager has been arrested pending the investigation outcome. Red is concerned about what happened to you. He is personally performing the interrogation."

  "Did you, by chance bring me something to wear?" I asked.

  "We did indeed," the girls said handing me one of two packages that they were carrying. The package contained a sheer and lacy red pair of mens bikini briefs.

  "Is that all? But... I didn't do anything wrong last night," I said, hoping I spoke the truth.

  "This isn't for what happened after you were kicked out of the opera house," Tanya said. "This is for why you were kicked out. If you had behaved yourself, none of this would have happened. The next time you misbehave, it will be one of my thongs, or worse. I'm starting to think you like being paraded around like this in public."

  "Besides," Amber said. "you crave the excitement of sex in public. I think public exhibition will excite you."

  "And, we want to make you happy," Natty finished.

  I reluctantly put on the underwear, already dreading the walk back.

  "Just a minute," Amber said, adjusting the waistline.

  "Oh yes, you need disguise to conceal your identity, after all, the whole station is looking for you," Tanya said opening the second package. She removed a set of bunny ears and a tail. "My favorite set," she said putting them on me. The girls looked me up and town, pinching here and tugging there, before they were satisfied with my appearance.

  "Wait," Natasha said, "Cappy doesn't look excited about his public appearance." She removed her dress then kissed me deeply as she caressed my body. I couldn't help but show my excitement. Dressing quickly Natasha said, "Cappy is good and excited, now we can walk back to the Revenge."

  The walk back to the ship was humiliating. It looked like the whole station turned out to watch me. We even picked up a police escort, with officers both leading and following. I had to put up with whistling, cat calls, and propositions of all sorts from both women and men, worse I had to stop and give autographs to my new fans.

  When we finally got back to the ship, I started to undress in the airlock.

  "No you don't," Tanya stopped me.

  They marched me in front of the waiting crew, all the way back to my quarters. Once inside, I collapsed on the bed feeling completely humiliated.

  "Do you remember how the last walk like this ended in your quarters?" Tanya asked.

  "I do, but I just don't think I'm up to performing just now."

  "I can get you up and ready," Natasha said. The girls undressed, taking turns removing pieces of my attire.

  "We'll make you forget about this terrible day," Amber promised.

  Natty led us all into the shower. She put the knowledge and skills, she had retained from her sexbot conversion to use. She had me aroused and ready in moments. I forgot about the events of last night and this morning while urgently making love to my wives.

  De Tomcat wanted more. With a little rest and Natty's help, I was ready to go again, and extinguish the last lingering memories of this morning.

  "It seems Nathaniel may be attracted to public humiliation too. We'll have to think of something else, the next time he misbehaves," Tanya remarked.

  Chapter 45

  We met with Mike, the repair chief, at the ship's airlock. "Its a good thing you had me check your ship. Your engines radiation shielding was almost completely burned away. Had you taken her out again, your lives would have ended in a flash; with your engines consuming everything, in a brief chain reaction. It will take me a couple of weeks to replace your shielding. and your dampers."

  The Valkyrie class cruisers were designed with extra large radiation shielding for the engines, and extra large velocity dampers. Any other ship would probably have been lost forever, reduced to subatomic articles, or worse. I told Mike that he should incorporate these features into his new cruiser.

  Red met with us after our meeting with Mike.

  "Nathaniel, you take a mighty good picture," Red laughed, showing me the procession the girls and I made walking back to the ship. "You're famous."

  "Thanks, that's just what I needed to hear and see," I said sarcastically.

  "Cheer up. Amber has done as much, herself. If it helps, that hotel clerk started babbling at the sight of me. His accomplices have been rounded up. The station's Security offices have your belongings. You just need to sign for them. I also managed to get some information out of the prisoner you turned over to me. His information is vague, but it seems the Alliance is making a move into our region, to acquire more resource's and star systems to tax. What you stumbled on is part of that scheme. The sector governors have launched an official protest, but that's worthless without backing it up with action. I don't think it will come to an all out war, but we have some serious battles ahead of us. The system governor has agreed to buy the destroyer and pay for all your repairs and resupply."

  "You can count on us doing are part," I reassured Red. "I wish the Lucy was here. My crew miss the entertainment she provided."

  "I ain't heard a word from her yet."

  "We headed to white section, where the security offices were located. Not having my ID the security officer looked at a recent photo comparing it to me. "I don't know, something doesn't look quite right," he said. Natty held two fingers up behind my head like bunny ears. "It's you," he acknowledged. I signed for my clothing. The officer gave me the recovered clothing, 200 credits that I had been carrying, and my identification papers. I thanked him and asked, "How did they drug me?"

  "They used a gun loaded with tranquilizer darts. You're lucky they don't care much about the dosage they give, as long as it knocks you out. Several of the people they've robbed, never woke up."

  "Is there any chance I can see them?"

  "No. There locked up in isolation cells pending there trial. I know the judge who will be presiding over the case. He will most likely have them thrown out the nearest airlock, to save further expenses. The execution will be recorded, so you can watch it live if you want, being that you were one of their victims." I thanked the officer.

  Our next stop was the Lucky Lady. It was start
ing to become one of our most frequented hangouts. The food was good, and so was the entertainment. They had different bands performing throughout the day and well into the night. We ordered a pitcher of Sangria, and a platter of sandwiches.

  Tanya seemed hooked on this new drink, foregoing her normal bug named drink. Natasha seemed to be enjoying the meal too. She had a partially eaten sandwich in her left hand while she was slurping her drink in her right.

  Her mannerisms where often embarrassing in public, but always entertaining. She had all kinds of resources to draw upon, for using proper etiquette, but preferred to ignore them and eat in her own fashion. She did not like eating with utensils preferring to use her hands.

  Amber and I quietly ate our own meal, while secretly playing footsies under the table. She was unusually quiet today. I knew she was still blaming herself for her sisters leaving.

  "Amber, its not your fault. Beverly clearly has issues she needs to work out," I said.

  "I know... maybe if I... I'm sure I could have done something to prevent her from leaving, even if it meant letting her sleep with you."

  "It wouldn't have changed anything. She would have still left us. She needs her space to work out her issues."

  "The things we have done to her, may have been too much; with her marriage; and the alien affair," Amber openly cried now.

  "What we did to her was playing her little game. A game she is very good at, and one she enjoys playing. We haven't seen her final hand yet, and I think she had fun having sex with the Shree'tek."

  "What makes you think that?" Amber asked between sobs.

  I hugged Amber, trying to give the help and support she needed. She continued sobbing into my shoulder.

  "If she was truly mad she would have stuck around for revenge," I answered, starting to get an idea how her sister thought.

  "We all need to have sex with Amber to make her happy again," Natty said while starting to remove her clothing.

  Tanya stopped Natasha from undressing, saying, "Not here Natty, your as bad as Nathaniel."

  "My comm unit chimed for attention. It was Red. He needed to see all of us in blue section at dock 9.

  Chapter 46

  The four of us met with Red at blue section dock 9, not knowing why were meeting him here.

  He explained, "The ship has been shot up a little, but she must have given worse than she got or she wouldn't be here. Everyone is okay, injuries were minor."

  "What ship got shot up?"

  "The Lucy of course, ain't you been listening?"

  "Is Beverly okay?" Amber asked.

  "She's fine. She will be out in a minute," Red answered.

  "Who shot up the Lucy?" I asked.

  "I expect we'll find out as soon as Beverly is here."

  Both Beverly and her estranged husband made their appearance at the Lucy's dock. Beverly looked fragile and ready to collapse, and Sultan hostile, looking for a fight. Amber ran to her sister embracing her in a hug, tears of joy flowing at the sight of her sister.

  "Haven't you done enough to harm her?" Sultan asked, bucking up to me ready to start fighting.

  "I think you better reevaluate the facts Sultan. It was Beverly who groped me, repeatedly tried to seduce me, robbed me, and stole nearly everything her sister Amber worked hard for. I once threatened to kill you for having sex with Tanya. The only reason your still standing is that Tanya intervened on your behalf. Go ahead and give me another reason," I said staring into his eyes.

  "Sultan, you've said enough," Red said. "You best be getting back into the ship before blood is spilled."

  Sultan reached for his Saber, and I withdrew mine with a quick, practiced move.

  "I warn you, I am a excellent swordsman, perhaps even a master. If you cross blades with me, it will be the last thing you ever do. I promise that I will try to make your death as slow and painful as possible."

  "Sultan, don't. He will kill you," Red interjected, moving Tanya and Natasha back to safety. Amber hearing my threat also moved Beverly and herself back, giving us room.

  "So whats it going to be? Do you fight and die, or do you cower away?"

  "I won't back down without at least having satisfaction of first blood," Sultan said, shaken and sweating profusely now.

  "Then say goodby to Beverly. "En garde!" I shouted.

  Sultan dropped his sword and fell to his knees, he then laid in the prone position begging for his life. I kicked his sword away, out of his reach, before dismissing him.

  "Sultan, the next time I won't be so generous. Get out of my sight."

  "May I retrieve my sword?" He asked, reaching for the sword. "It is a family heirloom."

  "No. It is scrap metal now."

  I picked up the saber and handed it to Red. "Have it recycled as scrap," I told Red, then slid my saber into its scabbard.

  "Why didn't you kill him?" Beverly asked.

  "That would have been to easy. I did far worse. I broke him, and now you will be responsible for him the rest of his life."

  "Beverly, I don't care about the Lucy. She has been a good ship to me, and she will be good to you too. I just want us to be close, like we use to be. You can have her. I just want you to be happy again," Amber pleaded.

  "Amber she owes you for all the time and expenses you paid making the Lucy what she is."

  "I don't care about that, I have so much more now," Amber said.

  "Nathaniel is right. I will make monthly payments, paying what I can, until the debt is paid. I'm sorry for all that I've done to you and Nathaniel," she said hugging her sister. "I promise to get some help with my problems."

  "What exactly happened to you since your departure?" Red asked.

  "Well, I had an absolutely fantastic time with Shree'tek. He was curious, and gentle, with the stamina of a bull. We made love together until it was time for me to leave. I couldn't out run or jump the Revenge, so I hid in an asteroid belt, waiting for all of you to leave. When we got to the Far'nar system, we were attacked by two frigates. We crippled both frigates in the battle, but they still managed to out run us and escape to hyperspace. Then we made our way back here," Beverly summarized.

  "Now, what?"

  "Now, I finish licking my wounds, get the Lucy repaired, and we can go back and get some revenge."

  "There is a problem with that. We will be departing in a couple of days. My fleet is assembled, and we can't wait any longer. As much as I would like to add the Lucy to my fleet, there is no way the Repair dock can patch her up in time. That is why I had you dock in blue section, rather than the repair docks. You have a little time to spend with Amber, use it wisely. I'm sure there are a lot of Nathaniel's crew, who would like to reunite with your workers," Red said.

  "Nathaniel, please inform your crew, that they are welcome aboard as my invited guests. All entertainment, for the next couple of days is free of charge. It's the least I can do to start repaying you for the problems I have caused.

  "Thank you Beverly. On behalf of my crew I gladly accept your hospitality."

  "Natty, Inform the crew, the Lucy is open for business. They must be back to the ship in 36 hours for departure preparations."

  "Aye, aye Cappy. I've sent messages to all crew members. Will Beverly be joining us for lunch?"

  "Yes, she will, and I think I can safely have a mint to freshen my breath afterward."

  "But Cappy, you tasted so yummy last time," Natty said licking her lips in anticipation.

  Chapter 47

  We all headed to the Lady Luck, in white section. Amber ordered some Sangria, spaghetti with a rich marinara sauce topped with chunks o
f meat, grated cheese, and a basket of fresh garlic bread. I seated myself between Natty and Amber, just in case something happened. I was curious as to how Natasha was going to eat this meal. For some reason she seemed to have an aversion to using dining utensils, preferring to use her hands.

  She took a big gulp of her drink, then to my amazement, she picked up the plate, tilted it toward her mouth, and started slurping her meal off the plate. Between slurps she said, "This is very yummy," before continuing to devour her meal. When she finished, she licked her plate and hands clean, then grabbed some garlic bread to nibble on.

  After I finished my meal, Natasha said to me, "You got some sauce on your face." Before anyone could stop her she started licking my face clean. "Cappy you taste yummy too." As soon as Tanya, Amber, and Beverly were able to control their laughter, Tanya took Natasha to the laddies room to clean her face. Tanya said, "Natty, sometimes I just don't know what to do with you."

  "You can lick my face clean too."

  When they returned Natasha's face was clean and her dress was wet where Tanya labored to remove the marinara sauce. We finished our drinks and headed back to my cabin. Tanya started filling the bathtub with hot water, and turned on the jets and bubbles. While Tanya was filling the tub, Amber and Beverly made a couple of pitchers of Sangria in our galley. We undressed and slipped into the hot water, relaxing and drinking the cold fruity drink. I seated myself between Natasha and Tanya, to be safe from Beverly, in case she made a move on me, trying to seduce me.

  Amber and her sister talked to each other in whispers, giggling. I continued to relax watching them getting along so well together. Tanya and Natasha had other things on their minds. They let their fingers explore my body, hidden from view by the bubbles. I was aroused in seconds. "Shh, be quiet," Tanya warned, as my excitement grew. Tanya began nibbling my ear, as Natasha started kissing me passionately.

  Amber started squirming, and panting as we continued to kiss.
