"It's about time you started treating her like she wants and needs," Jewel said. "I warned you earlier about her."
"Thank you Jewel. We pushed her a little to far, a while back. In fact Natty caused her to have a nervous breakdown. Since then I have been too easy on her waiting for her to get herself back together. I guess I just needed a reminder."
The three of us untangled the linen's as best we could and got back into bed. We snuggled up, and slept, warm and content with each other. Afternoon came to early. I was still tired and groggy. Amber and Jewel were up drinking their morning, now afternoon coffee. The aroma gave me the extra desire I needed to force myself out of bed. I slipped on a robe, grabbed a mug of the dark elixir, and joined the girls. Rosie was cleaning, and all of our clothes had been picked up and laundered.
"Nathaniel, Jewel and I have been talking. We want to be bonded together and we want to know if that is also something you would like?"
"I hadn't thought about it. It is something we can try, and see if she still desires it, before the bond is permanent."
"Nathaniel, we love you so much. Thank you."
"Rosie, would you be so kind to run an errand for us? We can't leave the ship to purchase the Iniguar Bonding Discs ourselves."
"Yes, I can make the purchase. Is everything they say about the discs true?"
"Yes, it is. Its a wonderful experience."
"I wish Mike and I could afford such a luxury. It would help spice up our romance."
"As long as we are going to be friends, why don't you buy a pair for you and Mike too. Its my treat."
"I couldn't do that."
"You will hurt my feelings if you don't."
Amber gave the directions to the dealer in white section, and 7500 credits to make the purchase with. "This should be more than enough to purchase five discs. Tell the dealer that you are friends of ours, and he may give you a discount. While you are out, purchase a nice dress for yourself, something sexy that Mike will like."
"I don't know how to thank you Amber, your to kind."
"Its my turn to cook, you could pick us up dinner from the Lady Luck, and save me the trouble."
"I'd be glad to."
"Natasha, please summon Randolph and Kim to my quarters."
"The message has been sent, they will be with you shortly."
When Randolph and Kim arrived, we all sat together in the common room.
"Captain, we are not going to have group sex, are we?"
"Relax Randolph, I asked both of you here to talk."
"Good. I was thinking we were going to have sex, the way the three of you are dressed in robes. I don't think I am ready to experience group sex yet."
"Sex is what I wanted to talk to you about."
"Didn't you enjoy being with Kim? I do."
"Kim and sex is what we need to discuss."
"You're not going to take her from me are you?"
"Randolph, I want to help you keep her. She is quite a dish of candy."
"I don't understand."
"You are both far to submissive for each other. You need to be more demanding of her."
"I don't want to be mean."
"You don't have to be mean. Just more assertive. Tell her what you want, especially if it is something new. You are going to have to be the one who starts the conversations, and initiates sex. If you don't, she will find someone who will, and you will end up loosing her. I don't want that to happen."
"Thank you Nathaniel. I'll try to be more like you."
Jewel spoke up, "Kim, Randolph doesn't seem properly motivated. I want you to strip, take him back to your quarters and give him the best sex of his life. Afterwards I want you to tell him all about what you need from him, making him listen."
"You want me to walk back to our quarters naked?"
"Strip and get over here."
"Yes mistress."
Jewel spanked her bottom twenty times, as hard as she could. "Don't question me again."
"Yes mistress, thank you mistress." Her bottom was a nice shade of red, and tears were leaking from her eyes. It must have hurt, as they were not play spankings. She left with a startled Randolph in tow, and a smile on her face.
"Wow, I want to be spanked like that."
"No you wouldn't, but I'll bet you would enjoy giving Amber a nice spanking. We can both spank her tonight."
Rosie returned, laden with her purchases. She gave Amber her change and the discs, then started dishing out our supper. "Is there anything else I can do, before I leave? I can't wait to try out the discs, and my new dress."
"No that's all Rosie. Enjoy yourself, we will see you tomorrow."
We ate dinner, Rosie's choice of dinner was fantastic. The food was far superior to any of the frozen meals we had. After dinner we put the bonding discs on, and gave them a try. I was first. I kissed Jewel, putting all the feeling I could into the kiss. She wasn't use to the waves of emotion that came with intimate contact, like Amber and I were. Her body trembled, and she nearly collapsed onto the floor. I didn't have to ask her what she felt, I knew. It was several minutes before she could compose herself enough to kiss Amber. Still weak from the experience, she kissed Amber. This time she collapsed to the floor pulling Amber with her. Jewel trembled uncontrollably, and curled herself into a ball.
I remembered the first time as being good, but this was something else. It was several minutes before she was able to extricate herself from the fetal position and pull herself onto the couch.
"How do you two manage to function like this. I can't even begin to describe what I felt. It was amazing."
The waves of passion that we felt, when we first tried the discs was intense, but nothing like what we just experienced with Jewel.
"The feeling and experience continue to grow stronger as the bond deepens. You will adjust to it, constantly desiring more."
"Did Tanya and Natty experience it also?"
"I do not know. This is a new experience for us, doing another bonding. We will find out shortly."
"Natasha, replay Amber, Jewel, Kim and I having sex last night on our monitor."
"Yes Cappy."
The screen filled, with images of us having sex. Kim was tied to the bed with restraints and blindfolded. I was between her legs, giving her pleasure while she squirmed in her restraints. Jewel and Amber were at Kim's sides caressing her and rubbing hot oil into her skin. It was the same oil that Jewel had used on me. Every slight motion generated heat, causing a delightful burning sensation.
Tanya and Natty came in, while we were captivated by the show. Tanya looked at the screen, saw Kim, and said, "I knew it. Nathaniel we need to talk."
"What is it Tanya?"
"I love you and Amber, but it isn't going to work between you and I."
"What do you mean?"
"You and I both are very demanding, bordering on aggressive, in bed. If we stay together, we will just end up hurting each other. We need to go our separate ways. I still want to be friends with you and Amber."
"What about our bond?"
"We will just have to live with it, unless there is someway to break the link."
"And Natty?"
"She loves me, and I don't want to give up my little sister. I love her, too."
"Natty, its your choice, what do you want?"
"I love you Cappy, but I love my sister wife more. Can't I have both?"
"How has that been working for Amber and I?"
"I guess it hasn't been so good. I don't mean to make you and Amber sad."
/> "You can't have it both ways. It will only cause more suffering. You have to make a choice."
"I'm sorry, but I want to stay with my sister wife. I love experiencing childhood, with her too." Tears started leaking from Natty's eyes. She rarely cried, and I knew she had just been hurt."
"Natty it is okay. Go be happy with Tanya. Maybe someday things will change. You are both welcome to visit anytime."
"Thank you Cappy."
I was to late to save our relationship with Tanya, and I just chased Natty away. I hoped that I wasn't to late to help Randolph and Kim. I felt defeated, weak, and exhausted. I went to our bedroom, and collapsed on our bed. Amber joined me, laying beside me. Jewel joined us in bed, slipping between Amber and me, so she could hold us both. "I was hoping for a fun night, but I feel both of your sorrow after loosing Tanya and Natty. I will share your pain instead."
The girls got up early, and were sipping coffee. I drug myself out of bed and joined them. After a few cups of the magic brew, I felt revitalized. We showered together, both Jewel and Amber, were in a playful mood this morning. While in the shower, I learned Jewels greatest secret. She was extremely ticklish. Upon making this discovery, Amber and I attacked. We showed no mercy as we tickled Jewel. Out numbered, and cornered, all she could do was roll herself into a ball, laughing and begging, as we continued our attack. Amber and I were going to have a lot of fun with this new discovery.
Eventually, we stopped, allowing Jewel to get up.
"Somehow, I will pay the two of you back for that."
"Oh, that was nothing, wait till we really start having fun with you. That was only a sample of what is yet to come."
"Do you realize the two of you made me go pee on myself?"
We dried ourselves, dressed, and made our way to the officers mess. Fresh pastries, eggs, bacon, and hash browns were there in abundance for all of us. Doc, Jane, Randolph, and Kim were already seated and eating there breakfast. While we were serving ourselves, Mike, Rosie, and Red entered and joined us.
"Nathaniel, where are Tanya and Natty?"
"I suppose, they are in their cabin."
He looked between Amber and I. "Is there something wrong?"
"Just the opposite. Something that went terribly wrong, has been corrected."
"Did you leave them?"
"They left us."
"I'm sorry to hear that, all of you made quite the couples." Red noticed that Jewel, Amber, Mike, Rosie, and I were all wearing Iniguar bonding discs. "The five of you aren't bonding together are you?"
"No, Jewel wanted to join our bond, so we agreed to do it. Mike and Rosie are bonding together."
"Won't that cause further complications with Natty and Tanya?"
"No, Jewels bonding with us doesn't seem to affect them. They haven't taken any notice. Now that you mention it, I can't feel Tanya or Natty any longer."
"Them disc things must be more intelligent than we give them credit for. They know the difference between the two different bonds, and It would seem that they are erasing the link between the two of you, and Tanya and Natty."
"That is a miracle that I hope comes to pass."
"I wanted to talk to all of you about your departure. I'm afraid we need to expedite it. The Governor has agreed to a treaty with the Alliance, and he is getting suspicious of Mike. You need to leave first thing tomorrow. I will be in place to intercept you, when he gives the order. Ignore everything and maintain silence until we reach Vega Ocoli. I will have a show to put on. I can't tell you anymore until we reach the next system. Enjoy the rest of the day, and thank you for breakfast."
Red left to make his own preparations for tomorrow.
"Natasha, start the preflight checklist, and warm up the engines. We will be departing early tomorrow morning."
"Aye, aye Cappy. Cappy, I'm sorry about Tanya and Natty."
"Thank you Natasha."
Chapter 20
It was still late at night when the alarms started sounding for my attention. "Turn it off!" I begged, trying to muffle the sound by placing my head under my pillow. The Alarm silenced, followed by tugging, as Amber and Jewel each grabbed one of my legs and pulled me off our bed.
The jolt, from hitting the floor, jump started my still sleep fogged brain. Amber and Jewel were already dressed in sexy jumpsuits, handing me clothes, my blaster and sword. Jewel carried my boots as Amber led me by hand, to the bridge. She allowed only a moment for me to grab a large mug of coffee from the officers mess. Without it my brain just wouldn't function this early. I gulped it down, in large swallows, not even tasting the brew, as we headed to the bridge.
Somehow, we weren't the last to arrive. Natty and Tanya, were still absent. I sat at the helm station, Amber took her position at sensors, and Jewel took over communications.
"Natasha, what is happening?"
"Several Alliance troops are trying to gain access to the hangar. I can only delay them for a few more minutes." She showed us a view of Alliance troops, cutting their way into the hangar, with high powered lasers.
"Seal all hatches and prepare for takeoff."
Mike entered the bridge, and quickly analyzed what was happening. "I can't evacuate the air in the hanger and open the doors before the Alliance gets through."
What about blowing the doors?"
"Safety protocols won't allow that."
"Jane, I need shields at full power."
"I'm building the shield reserves, and raising shields. It will take a minute."
Natty and Tanya, finally entered the bridge. Usually they were the first to be here. Today, they were dead last.
"Natty prepare missile tubes one and four. Set fuses to zero delay, and brace us for a close proximity blast."
Bulkhead doors closed and sealed, creating several isolated air tight sections, aboard the ship, in case of a hull breech. "Their through," Natasha announced. The monitor showed several troops entering the hangar, firing their blaster rifles at us. Other troops started assembling heavy weapons to breech our hull.
"Jane we need shields now! Natty fire missiles one and four."
The two missiles had just cleared their launch tubes, when they detonated against the hangar bay doors. The doors were blown off their hinges, instantly decompressing the hangar. Several Alliance troopers were carried away into space, by the rapidly decompressing maintenance section. Station bulkheads sealed, but the open airlock left the entire section open to space.
I didn't bother setting a course, or using our thrusters to maneuver our way out of the hangar bay. I punched it going to max burn from the hangar deck. What troops hadn't been carried away with the explosive decompression, were cooked by the radiation from our engines. "Natasha, give me a vector for the Vega Ocoli jump point."
Natasha sent me the coordinates and I adjusted our course, and reduced our engines to flank speed. We were making our run early. I hoped that Red was ready. Amber began her scans, and sent the data to a tactical display on our main viewscreen. Several Alliance cutters and destroyers, changed their course to intercept us. They didn't have a chance, we would easily out run them, with our lead. Reds battleship joined the chase. It looked like he would be coming in on our tail. I hoped his plan worked.
We maintained communications silence. Every vessel and the station tried contacting us, demanding our surrender.
"Nathaniel, I didn't think that was possible," Doc said.
"Neither did I, but I didn't have time to think of anything else."
"Now I see why you always seem to come back heavily damaged," Mike commented.
"Hey, the last time it was only light damage, and before that it was
mostly paint."
"Yeah, and it was the ugliest paint job I ever saw."
"Natasha, take us to condition yellow. Everyone I suggest we try to get something to eat. Its going to be awhile before we reach our jump point."
"I'll bring us all something to eat. Tanya, will you help me?"
****
Doc prepared a platter of eggs, hash browns, rolls, and pastries. To this he added a coffee dispenser and a dispenser filled with fruit juice. He loaded all of these on a cart, and added disposable cups, plates and forks.
"Tanya, I wanted you here with me so we could talk before heading back. What is happening between the four of you."
"It's five now counting Jewel. Natty and I still love Nathaniel, but if we continue to live together it will cause pain and suffering, for all of us. Natty and I have separated from Nathaniel and Amber. I'm very happy with Natty. She is like a sister, a wife, and a daughter, all in one."
"What about Natty's feelings?"
"Nathaniel made her make a choice between us. It hurt her very much, not being able to have both. She spent the whole night crying, but she will adjust. She loves us both, but decided to be with me."
"Does this have anything to do with Jewel? I could talk to him."
"Jewel is sweet. I hope she helps make him happy."
"What about this link you all have together, isn't that going to cause problems?"
"It may mean a little less sex, without Natty. She lives for sex. It is what makes her happy, and she believes it is the route to every ones happiness. She may be right. Since our breakup, I no longer feel Amber or Nathaniel. I only feel Natty's emotions, right now she is very sad. There is a certain feeling of emptiness now, where Amber and Nathaniel were once part of me. It's like the bond has been erased. I don't know how, but it is a relief. We can all live the lives we choose, without hurting each other."
"Then you're not mad at each other?"
"Not at all. I still want to be friends with them. I don't want to be totally out of their lives. I just don't want to live with them, or clean up after them anymore."
"He has a housekeeper now. Before he married the three of you, he had a steward to clean up after him, and prepare his meals."
