Scerior Part II

by Jilly Bowling

  Jo had joined Acorus as he spoke to the council and had listened carefully, realizing his dilemma. After they said their farewells she put her hand on his arm and pulled him to one side.

  “I have been thinking about the problem we have with that pompous ass, who calls himself president. Why don’t you send him and his cronies to Scerior for a while, maybe forever? I’m sure Belain will be able to bring his ego down”.

  Acorus looked at her in astonishment “You want me to depose a president and government, banish them to a planet on an other galaxy? What about me being a dictator? I thought you didn’t like the thought of me becoming too powerful?”

  Jo swatted his arm “Oh shut up. You know you are all powerful, just not with me! We would hold an election out of all the council leaders, who wanted to stand, and let the ordinary people choose their government. An intelligent ordinary person couldn’t do worse than this president, and we’d be there to guide them”.

  Acorus pulled her into his arms “I had forgotten how devious you are. I think that is a brilliant idea. I’ll have to speak to the other premiers, who are handling the new world well, and let them know that they are in no danger of being replaced. They dislike Jackson intensely so I don’t think they’ll worry what happens to him. Some of his government are OK. so maybe we should give them a chance to be re-elected. One or two are doing a great job in their departments”.

  Once back on the starship Acorus told Josh that he and his men would be taken back to their camp so that they could talk to the rest of the men, and get them interested in joining the Sceriae to fight the Xenorii. The men would be ferried to their camp in fighter ships, given a communicator and plenty of food and left for twenty four hours to get the rest of the men on side.

  After they had seen the men off Jo and Acorus headed to their quarters, as the starship took up station above the site of the old Washington. Jo gratefully took the combs out of her hair and going into the bathroom removed her gown and jewellery. As she stepped into the shower Acorus joined her. Wrapping his arms around her from behind he pulled her back into him, his ever ready cock pressing hard into the line of her spine. His hands gently circled her smooth stomach, brushing gently up to her firm breasts and finding her nipples which were ready and standing proud for his attention. Lowering his head he nibbled her ear, then grazed across the sensitive part of her neck. Her body reacted to his as if programmed and she sighed softly causing him to pause and ask if she was alright.

  “Perfect, I love it when you make love to me”.

  “Well of course you do, I’m so good at it,” he grinned as he turned her round to capture her mouth. She couldn’t deny it, he was so very good. As she melted under his experienced but caring love making her body throbbed and arched to his touch. He knew exactly what she loved for him to do and he delighted in arousing her. Angry as she had been with him lately he had still been able to arouse her body, even though her mind had railed against him. Now they were in harmony once more and he intended to make her scream his name over and over again. Starting his attack on her mouth, his tongue owned hers and plunged deeply as far as her throat, imitating what his pulsing shaft would do to her later.

  She welcomed him in, wrapping her own tongue around his and clawing at his back, digging in her nails. Grasping one of her legs in his large hand he pulled it up to his waist and his heavy velvet headed shaft slid over her sex. Although she had been with him for over ten years the size of him still shocked and excited her. She knew he would never hurt her but he still gave her pause as he commanded her body.

  Lifting her high he allowed himself to tease her clit before she wrapped her legs around his waist and he slid forcefully into her throbbing cleft which rippled and sucked at him causing him to groan with the need to fuck her hard. Easing her back against the shower wall his fingers clasped her buttocks and held her tight as he withdrew as far as her entrance before plunging in deep again causing her to yelp.

  Withdrawing again he growled “Not loud enough love,” before plunging deep once more. As he filled her completely and utterly she did scream his name, causing him to grin as he picked up the pace, pounding into her, but stopping before he hurt her. Feeling her body responding, rippling and sucking as she milked him, all the time screaming his name as her orgasm built, he slowed his pace, deliberately letting his velvet crown stroke her clit until she was almost sobbing in her need to come.

  In the time they had been in the shower, they’d had soap and water and now the hot drying air came on. Feeling the air drying their bodies Acorus held Jo to him with one strong arm and walked through to the bedroom. She laced her arms around his neck and moaned as his movement teased her mounting orgasm. As he reached the bed, Acorus withdrew completely and flipped her over onto her stomach. Before she could move he had pulled her up onto her knees and was entering her again, as his clever fingers teased a nipple and her clit until she came with a shriek.

  Laughing at the groans and the moaning of his name he continued teasing her, building her to another orgasm. Leaning over he bit her shoulder and left his mark as she clawed at the bedclothes trying to control her body. This time he allowed himself to build to a climax and as Jo screamed again, they came together, with Jo collapsing into a shaking heap on the bed. Acorus lay beside her stroking her silky sweat sheened skin, until she had stopped shaking.

  “Oh my god Acorus, you’ve absolutely worn me out,” she murmured unable to move.

  “Ah, I thought I had absolutely fucked you,” he smirked. “That is what you’ve wanted over the last months isn’t it?”

  Jo grimaced “I wanted you to think of me and not just yourself, but I don’t think I’ll be able to walk for days!”

  Acorus grinned “Suits me, you can lounge about in bed waiting for your master’s desires, like the females used to do in the seraglios”.

  Jo punched him on the arm “You wish! We have a lot to do if you are going to depose Jackson, have an election, and try to find where the women have been taken. You know what will be happening to them, two out of three aren’t going to make it even if we do rescue them”.

  “I know, but where to start is the problem. We need some females to be a lure, so we can follow the Xenarii when they kidnap them. But I don’t suppose we’ll get any volunteers”.

  Jo lay back and thought hard for a while, then she said “Does it have to be women? How about Josh’s men dressed up as women?”

  “That’s ridiculous, the Xenori might be disgusting creatures but they’re not stupid. None of those men could pass as females, they’re the wrong shape to start with, don’t smell like females and have beards!”

  Jo bridled “A lot you know! If we could find some drag queens, makeup artists and hairdressers, among the people who are left, you’d be surprised. We ask for volunteers among the youngest and best looking of Josh’s men. Take Reed he’s very good looking in a soft gentle way. And we could easily mask their odour, the Xenorii don’t have a good sense of smell, stands to reason, with their diet they stink so much themselves”.

  “You’re serious, aren’t you?” Acorus eased up onto his elbow and looked down at her.

  “Yes, deadly serious. We ask for volunteers among the right looking men, if we could get half a dozen that would be enough. Implant locators on all of them, and have a starship, with fighters, watching them all the time. If they went to one of the towns that have already been pillaged the Xenorii will hopefully find them. They could light a campfire at night which would draw the Xenorii to look in that area again”.

  “Wouldn’t it seem funny that there were no men with them?”

  “I don’t think so, remember they think that they have taken or killed everyone in that area. The six could be some they’d missed on a previous raid, I could organise it for you as I’m sure there are many problems waiting to be dealt with since you’ve been absent”. Jo said becoming excited at the prospec
t of organising something useful.

  Acorus picked up a lock of her hair and smiled “You are itching to get back into the middle of things aren’t you?”

  “Yes, I’ve felt like a spare part for the last few months, I’m sick of shaking hands with councils in the new towns, here and in Europe. Everything is so well organised by the Escorii there is nothing worthwhile for me to do”.

  “Very well if you think it will work, I’ll give you Allorus to help you, guards and some Escorii. Don’t tire yourself out, and if you even think of putting yourself in danger, I’ll beat you until you can’t sit down!”

  Jo laughed “Oh then you really want me to put myself in danger. Admit it, you’re just a sadist”. Then she squealed as he dragged her across his knee and swatted her bottom before turning her around and kissing her gently.

  “Well I suppose I must get back to my duties and you have a lot to do too. Get together with Allorus and his soldiers and work out a plan, then when Josh brings his men in, we’ll pick out some likely looking ones”.

  Chapter 4

  Jo and Acorus saw little of each other over the next few weeks, just meeting up in the evenings to make love, discuss what each was doing and sleep. Acorus spent time making Jo feel loved and cared for, not just using her body for release, and things had never been better between them. He had initiated plans to get rid of the troublemakers in the American government, Jackson and his cohorts having been dispatched to Scerior, to study the way things were done there. Belain, Acorus’ brother, would quickly get rid of their ideas of their own importance.

  One of his senior officers had established a base in Australia, and the people, who had been helped to disappear into the bush by the aborigines, were slowly reappearing. Human soldiers had first made contact with them assuring them that the Sceriae were the good guys. The first new town had been laid out on the coast and the Sceriae’s machines were clearing the rubble of Sydney and the other major cities. More people had survived than had at first been thought possible and Acorus was rethinking the idea that there were no free humans on Africa, India and South America. There was so much wild country on this planet that pockets of humans could be anywhere and plans were made to investigate every continent again. This time a joint effort, with human soldiers joining the Sceriae army, even learning to fly their fighter ships. The Sceriae engineers now had apprentices, of all ages, learning about their remarkable feats of engineering.

  The election for the government of the United States was about to take place, with the towns councils running it and the Sceriae avoiding interfering. Six good council leaders had been put forward, the others preferring to stay with their people and having a hands on approach to their duties. Some of the old government were up for re-election and one in particular, a young politician called Kennedy, stood out. Acorus rather hoped that the people would see what a good and able man he was, but didn’t show any preference when he met them all. He went to great pains to show that the Sceriae didn’t want to rule Earth, just to help it.

  While Acorus was busy with world wide problems, Jo was working with Josh, his men, who had all followed him in working with the Sceriae, and some other human soldiers who had been seconded to her. Eight men, out of all the dozens who had volunteered, had been chosen to dress as women. A couple of drag queens, who had survived the Xenorii attack, had been brought in to help, and a hairdresser and two makeup artists had come forward from the new towns; the men were being trained to move and react as a woman would. To start with Jo despaired of the plan working as the men tended to overplay their roles, however after she had spoken sharply to them and made them live as women permanently they started to take it seriously. Finally she showed them films of the Xenorii and their blood farms and after that they worked hard to look and move like women. They were plucked and shaved and their skin was moisturised and made up naturally, and eventually Jo declared herself satisfied.

  A party was planned in one of the new towns and the men were to join it as women. Nobody in the town knew that the attractive women who turned up on the arm of one of their fellow soldiers were actually men. Jo went with them dressed as they were on Josh’s arm. To her delight not one of the men were unmasked and at the end of the party the group toasted themselves, with champagne. Jo returned to the starship that night on a high, excited to tell Acorus that they were ready. As she hurried towards their quarters Tchu joined her.

  “Jo, Lord Acorus has left a message with me. He has gone on a raid to central Africa and will be in touch when he is able”.

  “But why hasn’t he taken his starship? Who has he gone with and why?”

  “He has gone on another starship captained by Gherta because he is leading the army, made up of humans and Sceriae, on the ground”.

  Jo remembered the young Gherta, who had obeyed her orders to relieve Pengha, the lazy cowardly brother-in-law of Andea, Acorus’ sister and queen of Scerior, of his duties. Now he was a fully fledged starship captain and highly thought of by Acorus; she wondered who had been left in charge of Acorus’ ship.

  “Who is in charge here and what about my plan?” she demanded.

  “Lord Allorus is in charge of the ship, but I don’t know about your plan”. Tchu replied, worried about how Jo would react.

  “Bloody typical, what I’m doing always comes second”. Jo fumed. “I’ll go and speak with Allorus, see what we can do to put my plan into action”.

  Changing direction she carried on to the flight deck, where she found Allorus sitting in Acorus’ chair. When he saw her he stood up and waited for her to speak.

  “What’s going on Allorus, why has your father gone on a sortee himself?”

  “Please sit down Lady Joanna, can I get you a drink?”

  “Thank you, but no I don’t want a drink, just to know what’s going on”.

  “We received information that the Xenorii have a large base in central Africa and father has taken a very large force to root them out. I think he went himself because it is the first time that humans and Sceriae have gone to war in equal numbers. He didn’t want any mistakes to be made that would cause bad relations between both species”.

  “Why didn’t he let me know sooner? I would have come back to see him off, if I’d known”. Jo was close to tears, worried sick for the Sceriae male that she had loved for so long.

  “He didn’t want to spoil your successful day and he knew you would have tried to persuade him not to go. It all happened so quickly that he felt he had to go himself, as he is the only one who can control everyone. No one on Earth is higher ranked than him and I suspect that he is the most experienced soldier”.

  “Mmm, I understand, I don’t like it but I know why he felt he had to go. The question is, what about my plan?”

  “The general left instructions for your plan to go ahead, if none of the men were unmasked today. They will be taken close to the town by fighter ship, carry on, on foot and set up camp in the shelter of the destroyed buildings. At night they will light a fire as if they are cooking food, in the hope that the Xenorii take the bait. I will take this starship out of Earth’s atmosphere and station it above the town, monitoring the men’s locators. If the Xenorii take them we will follow them to their base, hopefully rescue any women who have survived and destroy the Xenorii”.

  Jo was mollified at the fact that Acorus had considered her plans in his orders to Allorus. At least there would be no delay in the attempted rescue of the kidnapped women.

  “So when are we going to put the plan into action?” She demanded.

  “The men will be taken there tomorrow by fighter ship, we don’t think that the Xenorii will be out and about in daylight. They’ll continue on into the town and set up camp, prepare a fire and settle in to wait for dark. Hopefully it won’t take too many nights for the Xenorii to attack. Josh and the rest of his men will be ready to go alongside our soldiers, and we should ta
ke them by surprise. Hopefully we won’t lose anybody”.

  “What if their starship sees ours, that will foil our plans?” Jo asked worrying at her lip.

  “They have got the few starships they have left buried in deep jungle or ocean trenches, and only use their fighter ships for their raids, and they find it difficult to get out of Earth’s atmosphere. Also they are having trouble maintaining their fighter fleet while keeping them hidden from us. I have been giving a lot of thought to where the group, who are attacking Montana’s settlements, are, and there are only the forests of Canada, or the Amazon rain forest”.

  Jo frowned “That’s a long way from Montana, they must be somewhere closer. I must study a map of North America, although to be honest, they could be anywhere”.

  “Wherever they have taken the females we will follow them; the general is determined to cleanse the Earth of these parasites, then maybe we can go home”.

  “Do you miss Scerior, Allorus?” Jo asked.

  “I do, I want to get on with my life, mate and have a family, this world is too fragmented for me. Here there aren’t just humans but American, British, German etc. There are black people, white people, yellow people and half casts. We Sceriae know who we are and are proud of our heritage. The history of this world revolves around different religions and wars”.

  “I know it is difficult for you to understand why people fight each other. Now that there are so few people left maybe we’ll get it right this time. But I must admit I miss the peace of Scerior too. Perhaps you can go home for a while and find yourself a mate, I’ll talk to your father when he returns, and suggest that you need to go home for a while”. Jo patted Allorus on the shoulder.

  “Thank you Lady Joanna, do you want to sit in on the final briefing for the raid?”

  “No, thank you, but I’m no soldier so don’t think that I could help. I’ve done my bit by making them appear to be women, I’ll leave the fighting bit to you. I’m tired so I’m going to have a shower and massage and get into my bed. Goodnight Allorus”. Jo patted his cheek gently, sadly noting the look of longing in his eyes. He definitely needed a mate.
