“What happened to that equality?”
“It made a lot of people uncomfortable. There was a movement to take power away from men, but it needed to be strategically done, so we gave them the stars and convinced women it was pointless to see the galaxy as the Alliance was the best and at the heart of everything worth living for. But the issue now is that Alliance is the most powerful in the galaxy and we’ve trusted the men to do our biding unsupervised.”
Jane was entranced with this new information and surprised that even the Ambassador spoke as if men were inferior and she was there to keep an eye on their actions. Jane wondered then if she spoke the men’s language and what her objectives really were.
Wol added, “Didn’t it ever occur to you to wonder how humans could be the Lost People if there were only men on ships?”
“I’m embarrassed to say I hadn’t questioned it. But in my defense, I’ve been busy settling in and helping others of my house to settle as well.”
Wol frowned, “Yes, I understand. But now you know and remember that in everything you do. Do you understand what I’m saying?”
Jane looked into Wol’s green eyes and knew she was telling her something meaningful, and to even prove the point further, she touched her cheek with two fingers. Jane knew this explicitly meant something, but she couldn’t remember what. “I will remember,” she replied confidently although she didn’t know what she was supposed to know. She knew she couldn’t ask any of the men on the ship though. Still seeing the searching look in Wol’s eyes, she knew she was missing this message, but there was nothing she could do about it. Of course, they were being watched and listened to. Jane then said, “I’d love to talk to you more about human culture if you would be interested. You know how to find me, perhaps before we reach our destination?”
“Perhaps,” Wol said. “In the meantime, I’ll recommend some reading for you. You should have clearance as you are Head of House Human if you wouldn’t be offended by the suggestion?”
“Not at all. I’ve found this brief conversation alone enlightening.”
“Good, you should. You’re in a tricky situation and how tricky I don’t even think you’ve begun to realize.”
“What do you mean?”
Wol smiled, “Oh, Admiral, Jane and I were just discussing how interesting it was to be women among the men’s world.”
Admiral Jei came to stand right next to Jane. She wondered how long he had been there and what Wol meant by her other comment. Unfortunately, she wouldn’t know now. Jane suddenly wondered if she were right in accepting Jei’s offer to be his lover or if this had been a mistake. However, when she looked at him, she wanted him and wanted to be with him, no matter what the consequences as she couldn’t imagine any dire penalties because of the arrangement.
As Jane was leaving the morning reception, Wol said the most cryptic thing to her though which left Jane uneasy, “When the forget-me-not wears off, don’t give up on this new you. Alliance Jane of the Lost People, Head of House Human and lover of the illustrious Admiral Jei. We need this Jane more than the other one pinning for a human.”
Jane was stunned, “I don’t have a choice, do I?”
Wol frowned, “We always have choices in the Alliance, Jane. Especially as a woman. Don’t ever forget that is always an option for you.”
Jane was escorted away by Jei then. She didn’t mention Wol’s last comment as she didn’t want to think about how she would feel when the forget-me-not wore off. Right now, she just wanted to enjoy the pleasure and contentment she felt in her life.
Jei left Jane at her quarters. She had to go on duty.
“Will you come to my quarters tonight for the evening meal? I want to prove to you that Vran is gone,” Jei said seriously.
Jane frowned at the mention of his slave artist’s name, “Yes, I’ll want to see it for myself.”
“Then why are you frowning?”
“It makes me jealous to even think that you have to remove a woman from your quarters to make room for me.”
Jei shook his head in disbelief and then kissed her forehead. She was so young and so human, “Most women would feel as if they had won a battle. You should be smiling.”
“I’m not most Alliance women Jei. I’m human, and it makes me uncomfortable.” If he would have been human, she would have added, ‘Make sure you’ve changed the sheets as well.’
“Because you worry about Vran?”
“No, yes, I mean, there are so many things you don’t understand about how this makes me feel I cannot articulate them all now. I’m not even going to try. I’ll just be happy that she is gone. I’ll see you tonight.”
Jei left her then thinking, Humans are the most delightful little creatures. Sometimes so caring and other times, so vicious. He knew the second part from the records of humanity. One of the reasons that the Lost People were abandoned was that it was thought that they had gone mad. All the experiments done on humans were not only to see if they were genetically Alliance but to see if they could be saved from their insanity. Their lust for violence. At that time, it was thought that they were incurable. There was even talk of exterminating them. However, it was decided to let the gods see to humanities fate. Jei thought it was good that Jane was still barred from seeing those records. No one needed the humans asking about what might be added to their food or water.
After Jane had come off of duty, she had just enough time to go back to her quarters and change her clothing. She put on the dress he had given her that morning with the jewelry and some makeup. She had decided during the day, when her new lovers’ bracelet caught her eye during the day, that she was, in fact, celebrating that Vran was vacating what was to be her territory now. So, she wanted to look her best.
As Jane walked to Jei’s quarters, she was surprised to see that other crew members bowed to her in the corridors. This made her uncomfortable. She and Jei weren’t married, and she didn’t want to gain rank through him. Jane was her own person, and she wanted to be treated according to what she had earned herself, but she knew keenly it would only insult them to tell them not to bow, so she graciously accepted this new position as best as she could.
Jei’s squire answered his door and lead Jane to his private dining room.
Jei dismissed his squire while walking towards Jane and then ran a finger over her lips, “You’re so exotic, so alluring, with that face paint” and he took her in his arms and kissed her passionately. “And just now, all I want that lovely dress off.”
“Good because I’m not hungry either,” Jane said in between kisses.
Jei simply picked her up then and carried her into his large bedroom. He set her feet down on the floor and quickly undressed her, pleased to see that she was not wearing underwear her Alliance dress as she should be. He covered her body in kisses and then laid her on the side of the bed so that he could access her sex easily. He ran a finger over her, vulva, “Have you been a good all-day human woman? Your thighs are covered again with your desire.”
Jane looked up into his grey eyes with desire and thought, Yes, this is precisely what I want. Maybe this is the second chapter in my life, my Alliance life? “I’ve been thinking about what we did last night and this morning, all day,” she said. “Wondering if this lovers’ bracelet is right?” Her heart was pounding. He was looking at her intensely, but she couldn’t focus on anything but the desire in his eyes and the erotic feeling of his finger moving up and down her vulva.
“How could my touch and being publically connected to me not feel right? Doesn’t this feel, right? Didn’t my tongue on your sex feel right last night? Maybe you just need more convincing. Do you want me to lick your thighs clean? Do you want me to suck on you until you come again?”
She closed her eyes and answered him, breathlessly, “Yes.”
“Good. I wouldn’t want to have to punish you for really questioning your change in status.” He pinched her labia, and she squirmed a bit. “Tell me,” he was rubbing her vulva again, “what was
your favorite part of last night?”
She closed her eyes and licked her lips, “When you spanked me.”
Jei was so turned on by this human woman he didn’t know if he was ever going to be able to concentrate on work again, he had been thinking about her all day too. “I enjoyed that too. I especially like how ready for sex it makes you. Would you like me to spank you again?”
“Yes,” she said, breathlessly excited by this idea.
“But you must tell me what you’ve done to deserve such a punishment?”
Jane’s mind was hazy with lust, she thought questioning whether or not their relationship, the lovers’ bracelets would have been enough for punishment. Obviously, he wanted something sexy, “I masturbated before you came over last night.”
Jei was surprised by this admission, “That does deserve punishment that you couldn’t wait even an hour. Would you like your punishment now, Jane?”
“Yes, what?”
Her mind was blank, Would he want to be called Admiral now? She didn’t think so.
“Yes, Admiral,” she hazarded.
“No, try again,” he knew he was testing her knowledge of Alliance culture now, but he wanted to gauge what she had and hadn’t experienced in these regards.
“Yes, Master?”
“You are not a slave. You call me ‘Primary’ in this situation,” he said sternly.
“Yes, Primary,” Jane’s mind was reeling, What was a Primary? She would have to look this up in the database. But she soon forgot as he had stripped off his clothing now and had her over his lap rubbing her bottom. She thought, Soon, he is going to do it, and I can let go of everything completely. “One. Two. Three. Four. Five,” and Yes, touch me there, she thought as his fingers explored her wet vagina.
Jei had never had this kind of a relationship with a woman before. He had never wanted to dominate his wife in this sexual way. What surprised him, even more, was that Jane seemed to want this herself as well. He wondered about human sexual practices then and whether or not they had really been properly studied. When she called him ‘Primary,’ his desire flared, and he thought of nothing but her and what he wanted to do to her.
After he spanked her, he rubbed her bottom gently and then moved his fingers so lightly around her vulva, playing with the dark brown fur there. She was so wet, and he knew it wouldn’t take too much to make her come, but he wanted to make her wait.
Jane wondered what he was doing now. He was way too gentle, and it was driving her a bit batty. Her rear was on fire, and her vagina dripping, all she wanted now was for him to have sex with her and make her come. After a few minutes, she asked, “Primary, I want you inside of me.”
Jei smiled, although she couldn’t see it, moved his hand away, and said, “No, we can end this now and actually have the evening meal if you would like? There’s still time to eat.”
“No.”
“No, what?”
“No, Primary,” she answered, wondering how she was going to get what she wanted. Her mind was a blur of lust, though, only focused on one thing.
“Here we do this at my pace,” he told her, flipping her over and holding her like a baby in his great arms. Then he bent down and kissed her. His grey hair surrounding her face.
Jane had never felt like this before in her life. Complete surrender and comfort. This complete leap of faith into a man’s arms. Jei was an alien, strong, and unknown. She didn’t know if he might accidentally kill her or really hurt her, and instinctively, she felt that this was the edge she had been searching for all of her life.
Jane put her arms around his neck, pulled herself up and pushed him back on the bed. It wasn’t long before she was straddling him and was trying to position herself to slide his large ridged penis into her wet sex . However, before she could complete the action, he stilled her quickly with his large hands on her hips, so tightly, she would definitely have bruises there tomorrow. “Primary, please,” she begged.
Jei loved the look of her all curves and breasts, like perfect, pert fruits and her small, hot, wet human sex covered with fur hovering above his cock. It was all so primal. And most of all, he loved that she was begging for it. A woman begging. This was better than any loyalty day, this was the way she liked it too, he could see that in her eyes. And even more so, the way he liked it. “I’ll let you down if you tell me one thing.”
“Anything,” she replied breathlessly, trying to squirm down anyway.
“Are you going to come immediately when you move your vagina all the way down around my penis?”
“I don’t know,” she replied, then hastily added, “Primary.”
He moved her off of him and had her on her back in seconds. Then he put a hand between her legs and began rubbing her clitoris in light circular motions as he kissed her neck, ears, and breasts. In between kisses, he said, “You know in the Alliance, you can’t enter a woman until she’s come first, to do so is rape.”
Jane just closed her eyes; his fingers were moving so expertly it was not long at all before she was writhing beneath him. Then just as quickly, he rolled onto his back and pulled her back on top of him and said, “Now Jane, impale yourself.”
Jane would have laughed at that translation. However, she wanted him so much now she just replied, “With pleasure Primary,” and sunk herself onto his thick cock, and it felt just as enjoyable as it had the night before. His hands were on her hips, that were now already a bit sore, and it made her even feel sexier. She began to move back and forth slow then fast, working herself up again. Her clitoris was almost numb with all the friction, but in a way that held the promise of another orgasm so she couldn’t stop. And the ridges on his penis felt so perfect. She couldn’t help but wonder then, Are we the Lost People? This feels too right for us not to be.
Jei watched Jane ride him and couldn’t believe how sexy she was. He watched her and thought, This is a real woman. This is no slave artist. She has the marks of a woman who has brought life into the world. She has the confidence of a woman who has been married, but the insecurity to know when she is with someone new, adorably fumbling at first.
Before Jane could bring herself to climax again, he quickly flipped her over and began entering her from the side, both of her legs up, and then she truly came again. She had been unprepared for his sudden move, but it only took two strokes of him gently entering her as she lay on her side with her legs up for him to bring her to climax again, “Primary,” she said softly.
When Jei heard that, he felt the primal urge to pound into her harder. And he took her ankles with one hand. He quickly hoisted her up as he crushed into her with such force she was moaning with such pleasure and he completely overtaken with lust it was only after he came into her and they lay next to each other he was somewhat himself again.
Jei held Jane’s naked body next to his and said, “I want to do this every day, but not miss any more mealtimes.”
Jane smiled and brushed some of his long grey hair back with her hand, “I agree. I’m starving now. It’s going to be a long night.”
He began playing with one of her nipples, “Oh, I am sure we will find ways to occupy ourselves throughout the night with a little sustenance here and there.”
The next day, Jane was in the mess hall, eating lunch with her friend Doctor Rea when she began to feel a tingling sensation in her clitoris. It became so intense she needed to excuse herself from lunch, but as Doctor Rea was a telepath, he messaged her after she had left,
It’s the lovers’ bracelet. It can manipulate sensations in your body. You should do the same back to him. Mealtimes are a typical time to do this if you can’t be together. No doubt he was actually trying to call you to him.
Jane read Rea’s message after she had had an orgasm alone in her room without even touching herself and questioned out loud, “But how do I do that back to him?”
How can I control it? You must teach me how to work the bracelet.
Rea received Jane’s message and laughed,
There are certain limitations to friendship. You must ask the Admiral, but I’d be surprised if he’ll tell you without something in return. It’s an old Alliance trick.
When Jane did not respond, he added,
And just so we are clear, Alliance people think this is romantic and fun.
Jane sighed and said to herself, “I definitely wouldn’t say this is romantic or fun until I can work it too.” She looked at the bracelet and wondered who she could ask. She opened an RVM to Madame Bai as she could see that Madame Bai was available on her messaging account.
“Jane, just the person I wanted to speak to. You must be becoming telepathic.”
Jane gave her a small smile, “Hardly, I’ve a question for you, but it’s nothing important. What do you want to speak to me about?”
“It’s about Babette.”
Jane braced herself for the worst, wondering what that little minx had done now, “Yes?”
“She met a man at her punishment with the High Priestess.”
“A priest?”
“No, another sinner.”
Jane shook her head, “They put the sinners together? That doesn’t sound like a good idea.”
Madame Bai defended the practice, “Usually people that are there for punishments are so ashamed that they don’t speak to one another.”
“But instead Babette found a kindred spirit, great,” Jane supplied and couldn’t keep the sarcasm from her voice.
“It’s worse than that.”
“Tell me,” Jane said seriously and was genuinely concerned now.
“This young man has no House,” Madame Bai said the words solemnly.
