Chapter 2

I woke not long after, feeling somewhat better. I decided I needed more food. So I left my room to go to the galley. I found two men sitting at the table. They greeted me and asked if I needed anything.

“I was wondering if you guys had had your meal yet.” I was thinking if they hadn’t that I could prepare it for them.

“We ate already but there should be some left in the warmer.” said one of the men and without even being asked got up and dished up a plate for me. I sat down at the table as he handed it to me. It looked edible. But I was so hungry that looked didn’t matter.

“How are you? Will you be able to service the rest of us soon?”

“Gair! You heard what the Captain said. When she’s healed and ready, she’ll let us now.”

“I know, I just thought I’d ask.” he said with a guilty look on his face.

"It’s all right. It won't be long now, I’m almost fully healed and that’s the main reason for waiting.” I was a little uncomfortable, but I thought that I needed to get used to these men again so that when the time came I could service them as I had agreed. I finished eating and looked around. The galley was a mess. So without being asked I began to wash all that was in the sink.

“You don’t have to do that.” said the other man.

“I know but I just thought I’d get a jump on the work so that there won’t be as much for me to do tomorrow.”

When I had finished with the stuff in the sink I began to gather things from the table. Making sure the two men sitting there were not using or needing them any more.

I was almost done when I heard several men coming from the bridge. Fright was the first reaction but as the first one I saw was Nevin, I relaxed.

“Andy you’re up. I hope you slept enough. What are you doing? You shouldn’t be cleaning yet.”

“It’s alright. I feel much better. And yes I have eaten. I was just cleaning up so that I had a head start for tomorrow. Is it time for the watch to change?”

“Yes, most of us will be coming in to have a meal now and then sleep until it is about two hours before our watch." Nevin answered.

“If I had known I would have had a meal ready for you.” casting a look at the two men sitting at the table. They both looked like they were trying to be very small.

“Don’t worry. The last man that cooked made enough and put it into containers that just has to be heated.” Nevin replied with a smile and a chuckle.

He proved this by pulling out several containers and putting one in the heater. The two men at the table got up and left. In a few moments the food was done and he dished up two plates. I tried to tell him that I had eaten before I thought about cleaning some more but I found that I was hungry again. So I sat with him and the others eating and talking about nothing important. Several of the men finished and went off to their bunks. Nevin stayed but I could see he was tired.

“You need sleep. I‘ll be fine. I’ll just clean up what was used, and then go to my room.” Shyly and quietly I asked. “Will you be sleeping in there or in your own bunk area?”

“I need to be in my own bunk area. I think, no, I know I couldn’t hold back if we where to sleep in the same room.” This he said very quietly.

“You might be right, but I don’t think it would be you having the difficulty.” I looked him straight in the yellow eyes and he could tell that sleep would be the last thing we would get. He smiled, took my hand, turned it over and kissed it. “I’ll see you in 8 hours.” Then he left the galley. Smiling at myself, I began to cleanup again. And again I was just finishing when the Captain came in. “What are you doing? I thought I said you were to do nothing today.”

“You did, Sir. But after I had some rest and had eaten. I found that I was restless and decided to get a jump on the work for tomorrow. “

“Well as long as you are not over doing it. Where is Nevin?”

“I sent him to bed, Sir. He was very tired. I would guess that he was awake worrying over me. It is very kind of him, and kind of you to let him do so, Sir.”

“Yes, it is. Now there wouldn’t happen to be any of that stew left from earlier, is there?”

“As a matter of fact there is. If you take a seat I’ll get it for you.” I turned to the warmer, reheated the food inside, dished up a plate and presented it to the Captain. He ate as I did the last of the cleaning. I was just putting away the last when he finished and put his in the sink.

“You can finish the rest tomorrow. I would like to talk to you about how to work out a schedule for later after you have finished with the current rotation.”

“As you will.” I was thinking that he was going to start things going again whether I was truly ready or not.

He led me to his quarters. Ushered me inside and closed the door. Once in he told me to take one of the two seats available.

“I was thinking that each man would get to have an hour or one time with you. But I can’t think how to schedule this.”

“Do you have a copy of the duty sheet? We can work from there to start with.”

For the next few hours we talked about the schedule. Finally we came up with a system. Since there were currently only 19 on the ship, we came up with 3 men per day for 6 days with the Captain having an hour a day for himself. Then I would get a day off, then the schedule would repeat.

I knew the Captain was hoping I would invite him to take me but I still had a few issues to work out in my head. Just before I was going to leave I asked,. “Sir, if I may ask. Why did you tell Nevin he was not allowed to take part in the group rotations?”

“I thought that was obvious. I figured he was already having you in between, and that it would be safer to have someone standing by just in case. There is one thing I have to say; I didn’t know Busch would do what he did. I knew he was angry and frustrated but I never knew he was able to be that way. I have called a friend who knows where Busch lived and have asked him to check on his wife. I don’t think he would kill her but she could be hurt. If she is, her family can help her now. If she is fine, she is to be told of his death but not the details of it. The crew could be in a lot of trouble for killing a first mate even with cause.”

“I know, sir. And I do appreciate you sparing me.”

“If you could have thought of something else, you would have. I tell you now with all truth, you are safe; you will remain on the ship as crew. When we are at a spaceport or other planets other than Cattan, I will even let you leave the ship. It would look bad for a human to walk around by herself, so someone will be with you at all times, so that other will get the right idea and so that I don’t get into trouble, you will have to wear a slave collar. But on a better note starting with the new rotation you will also be paid.” He named a number. Which was the smallest Catteni denomination of money. “1 chit for every man per trip. This money you can spend on yourself or save it for something bigger. How does that sound to you?”

Three men per day for six days and one day off after and pay on top of that not to bad. “I think I can get by with that, sir.”

“Then I think you should go rest for your day tomorrow. And because I am finding it harder and harder to keep myself from grabbing you and ... well I know that if you were ready you would have told me or invited me by now.”

“Thank you Sir. I’ll be ready soon. I promise. When I am ready I will be on your bed waiting for you.”

“Go rest. See you tomorrow.” And with that he pushed me out the door. I walked to my room, opened the door, stepped inside, locked the door and went to bed.

Nevin woke me the next morning. He took me to the galley for breakfast then to the cargo bay where the laundry was now ready to be washed. We hung the clothing on ropes strung across the bay with the fans for the ventilation system turned up to dry them. I told him what the Captain had said the day before. He was surprised., especially when I told him the Captain already thought he was having sex with me and not wanting to show favoritism, told him, he was out of group rotation. Nevin’s gray skin turned a strange color as he blushed all the way down his neck. I thought this was the most adorable thing. I leaned over and kissed him on his cheek. The blush must have gone all the way down to his toes then. After about 2 hours, Nevin had to leave for his watch on the bridge. So I continued on with the laundry. About an hour later, several men came in with more clothing they said they found under one of the bunks. I gave one of the men a look that said he had left it there on purpose. Two of the men I recognized and one I could even put a name to. All however asked if there was anything they could do for me. I told them yes, and asked them to wring out some of the clothing I just washed because I didn’t have the strength to do them. I kept washing as they wrang out the items I had indicated. I even handed them a few more as I was done with them.

Not quite an hour later the men had to leave saying they needed to sleep. That was fine I had made a good dent into the pile. I stopped not long after the men left though. I was getting hungry and according to a Catteni timepiece, I found in my room, it was lunchtime. I got to the galley. I was surprised it was not too bad. I found food in the warmer, still warm even. Dished myself up a plate and ate. When I was finished, I cleaned the galley. The table, benches, counters and even the floor was as clean as when the ship was first made. I chose to take a break and went to my room.

I must have fallen asleep. There was a knocking at the door. “I’m coming, I’m coming.” I opened the door to find Nevin.

“Are you alright? I was knocking for some time.” I let him in the room.

“Yes, I was just sleeping. I didn’t realize I would get so tired. I must not be fully recovered.”

“As to that, the Captain would like to know how the burn is doing. If you would allow me to check I can give him a report.” He said shyly.

I agreed and took off my clothing, lay down on the bed and let him look. He was very gentle. I let slip a small laugh and told he had only tickled. As he made to move away from me, I took hold of his hand and kept it in place.

“Please.” I said, “Would you.” For a few moments he let his fingers linger on my clit, softly rubbing it. He even slid on finger down to the opening of my pussy. I had closed my eyes. He slowly slid his finger in and out of my pussy. I was in heaven. It was like it was the first time with him. He was even trembling. But he stopped and removed his finger. “I have watch and you need more rest. I will tell the Captain that you need two more days.” He moved to the door, turned and looked back at me, smiled and left the room. I just lay there. Had I done something wrong? I thought to myself. Or could it be that he just didn’t want to have to stop half way though to go to work. I had some energy back so I dressed and went to check the laundry. It was hard to concentrate, I was so turned on. All I wanted to do was to have Nevin inside of me. I made up my mind that when he got done with bridge watch, and had eaten, we were going to … He was going to be very surprised.

I handed him his plate as soon as he came from the bridge. But to throw Nevin off, I had several plates ready and was handing them out too. As every one finished and made their way to there own bunks, Nevin stayed. “You have done a lot today. You should go to bed early.”

“So should you. You were up helping me this morning. So I guess it’s off to bed, then.”

He got to his feet and began to walk down the hall to the crew quarters. But as he made to turn in to them I stopped him, took his hand and walked him in the other direction. Stopping long enough to open my door and walked us in. The look on his face was priceless; Surprise, anticipation, fear, and happiness all rolled up into one. I turned placing my arms around his neck. “I think we need to finish what was started earlier. Don’t you?” Before he had the chance to answer, I pulled him down a little ways and kissed him on the lips. He made his decision in a blink and started to return the kiss with a will. We finally had to stop and come up for air. He did not stop long and he didn’t say anything as he picked me up and took me to the bed. By the time he put me down my clothes were gone.

He did indeed start where he left off. As he began with rubbing my clit, he took two fingers and slid them in to my pussy, wriggling them to make me squirm. Finally he could no longer restrain himself. But before he pushed himself in, he stopped to look at me. I looked into his eyes, smiled, and I nodded my head yes. He pushed himself in with slow, even pressure. It felt wonderful. In and out, we continued until I could no longer stand it and told him to go faster. He did as I asked and it had the effect I was after. We both gave soft cries as we both came. He fell to the side, so as not to crush me. We both went to sleep in each other’s arms.

In the morning he woke me by kissing my neck. I reached over to play with him and was not at all surprised to find him quite ready. Before he could move to cover me. I mounted him. I moved slowly at first but as he started playing with my clit again, it caused me to move faster. Again we both came at the same time, and I collapsed onto him.

“WOW! You were,... that was,...... I have no words.” He tried to say as he held me close.

“I know what I would say but it may be too early.” I said shyly.

“What would you say?” he looked at me with longing. While stroking my face with his hand.

“I would say; I love you. And hope....” He stopped me with a finger to my lips.

“I love you. I did from the first. That is why I was not happy with you having all the others.”

“I still have to. The Captain is going nuts. If I wait to much longer, he may try to force his way or worse.”

“I know. You made an agreement. And I’m just going to have to live with it.”

We got up, cleaned up, dressed and went to breakfast. Again he helped me with the laundry until he needed to report to watch. I didn’t have the heart to tell him that he would be sleeping alone that night. For when he got off bridge duty, I would already be in the Captains quarters, waiting.

Which is just what I did. I ate, and cleaned up. Just before the watch was to change, I slipped into the Captains quarters. Not much had changed from the day before. But as I stood there I heard the men going to the galley from the bridge. I undressed and got under the covers of the bed. I heard someone walk up to the door, stop, and then continue on. The waiting was starting to get to me. Finally I heard what I was waiting for.

The door opened and the Captain walked in. He was thinking so hard he didn’t even notice me at first. Then he stopped, turned, and stared at me. I uncovered myself, showing him without words that I was ready. He was in a daze and began undressing, as one in a trance. Moving the blankets completely out of the way. He moved to cover me quickly and pressed himself in. He moved fast but not hard. It was much nicer being on a bed. Then with one final thrust he came and dropped down on to me. Though after a few moments he rosed up to look at me.

“I hope I didn’t hurt you?”

”No. It was good. Though a little one sided.”

“What?” He said as I pushed him over and mounted him.

He didn’t need any help in getting ready. So I slid myself down onto his dick and I began moving up and down, making a circle at the end of some of the down strokes, which made him moan every time. He began to play with my clit, rubbing it, flicking it, then taking two fingers and rubbing the lips of my pussy, as I moved up and down. I was still a little surprised when any of the Catteni did that. Then he slid his fingers in, making it tighter for his dick. Finally, with a soft cry I came. But we were not done yet as he removed his hand and placed both on my hips, began helping me to move faster and a little harder up and down. Then he too came with a groan. I moved off him and down to the side.

“So was it worth the wait.”

“Oh yes. Definitely worth the wait. Are you doing all right? I haven’t been too rough?”

“Not at all, but I think it could be better.” I reached down and began to tease him again.

With a startled surprise he said, “You tease, I’ll show you better.” and he covered me again. I gave a soft laugh, and pulled the pillow from behind my head as he raised my legs farther than he had before. He plunged his dick into my pussy hard and fast. I moaned with pleasure, as he rammed into me. Faster and harder than he had, before but not as hard as he had in the cargo bay. It took some time and about half way through he dropped one of my legs and turned me on to my side still moving well in and out of me. With a final thrust that was as hard as he could, he came. He fell to the side, pulling out of me as he did. Then just before he fell asleep he pulled me to him in a bear hold and went to sleep. I was just as tired so after pulling the blankets up around us, I fell asleep too.

I was awakened the next morning by the fact that the Captain was fondling a breast and playing with my clit. He had a leg thrown over on of mine and had used it to separate them. This felt very good and I gave a soft moan of pleasure.

“Good morning, you tease. At least it will be.” he whispered into my ear. He rolled me onto my stomach and positioned himself between my legs. And before I could say anything, he slid himself in. Slowly he moved, in and out. Reaching around, he started to play with first my breasts and then down to my clit. He took his time, as he brought me to a point just before I would have cum. Then he stopped playing, placing both hands on my hips and started ramming into me. Harder and faster, in and out, driving himself with a will. Finally he came. I tried to collapse forward on to the bed but he still had a hold of me. After a few moments he shoved me to the bed. Flipped me back, raised my legs and rammed his dick in to me again. His hands were holding my legs at the knees as he continued to drive himself in. He was pushing my legs farther and farther apart, almost to the breaking point. He was insatiable; I began to fear that he would never stop. Then with a cry of relief he came, and collapsed next to me on the bed breathless. He began talking before I had my breath back. “That will teach you to tease your Captain.” He paused for a moment as if waiting for a reply, which I was not silly enough to give. “Today we have to stop at a space station to resupply. We will be unloading half of the slaves too. You must not be seen. I will have Nevin lock you both in here. No one would dare enter the Captain’s quarters without my say so. But you must not be heard either. We will not be there long. After that you will need to finish with the men.”

“Why not have them meet me in the cargo bay now?” I asked but really didn't think I had it in me to take them on just yet.

“You have to clean up from doing the laundry. And those that have not had you will be on watch until just before we dock.”

“If I may ask. Are you planning on get a new man here?”

“No. We must wait to get back to our home base for that. I know someone who is available for the job. But you don’t have to worry about that now. We have 4 weeks yet to go.” I let out a small sigh. He laughed. “Get dressed. And finish working in the cargo bay. We will be needing the space soon.”

So I did. It didn’t take that long to take the laundry down now that it was dry. I folded it and hand it over to the first Catteni I found in the hallway. Nevin came in looking tired. He looked at me with a sad look on his face. “You were with the Captain?”

“Yes. I didn’t mean to be all night. He wouldn’t let go. I couldn’t get his hands to separate even after he was a sleep.” I looked at him with sad pleasing eyes hoping he would see that I was very sorry.

“So...”

I walked over to him kissed him on the mouth. “If I could have been anywhere it would have been in your arms last night. All I could think of was how mad you where going to be with me. Do you forgive me?”

“How can I forgive you, when you were not the one at fault.” Then he kissed me again.

“The Captain told me that we’ll be stopping at a station today." I said when we broke from the kiss. "You and I are to lock ourselves in the Captain’s quarters. Then after we leave, you’re to set the times for the others to have their turns. I get one day off when they are done, and then we start the new schedule.”

He couldn’t say anything to that. He helped me to remove the ropes and put them away. “How long till you need to be on bridge duty?”

“I have just under an hour. Why?”

I took his hand and walked us to the door. Looking out to check if there was anyone in the corridor and pulled him to my room. He wasted no time once we got there and the door to my room closed behind him. I took him on top, it being the easiest way for him to play with me at the same time. Sadly though it didn’t take all that long before we both gave moans of pleasure as we came.

We cleaned up quickly and walked to the galley, like nothing had happened. I was hungry, but he had only time enough to take a bite or two from my plate and headed for the bridge. I decided to check the cargo bay one last time to make sure all was cleaned up. Once that was done I went back to the galley to start clean up there. It was a good thing too. The mess had doubled in the short time I had been gone. There were several men at the table and they were both surprised and pleased to see me and that I was cleaning up, which meant they didn’t have too. They talked about the station we were going to, and how it was a cesspit. How only the lowest of the low and those in complete disgrace got sent to work this post. They were very glade it wasn’t them.

I had plates of food out and ready for the men as they came off the bridge. Nevin wasn’t with them but one of the others told me that the Captain had detained him for a moment. When he did arrive he ate quickly. I had eaten just before they had arrived. Then he took me by the arm and led me to the Captains quarters. He opened the door, walked us inside and locked the door.

“How long until we make the station?” I asked in the quiet.

“About an hour. We’re not to leave for any reason. And if someone tries to get in.” He pulled a stunner out from its holster.

“And what do we do until then?” I had a devious look in my eye that he matched, but….

“The Captain has told me that if we do, he’ll personally space me. And I believe him. There is something that can be done while we are waiting, though. Will you teach me en-gl-ish? I would like to learn. And you never told me how you learned Catteni so well, even though I have never asked.”

“I’d be happy to teach you English. Lets sit and I’ll tell you how I learned your language.” We both sat down on the bed.

“It’s not a very happy story. I was still on earth after your people took the first of mine off to who knows where. I found myself living near a Catteni base. There were lots of families being ripped apart. And there were a lot of children who needed someone. I had gathered about ten, all very small and under the age of ten, most with the same story. mom or dad dead or taken. After about four months it became obvious that we were running out of food, so I went begging. First from neighbors, they helped if they could, but most didn’t. One day there was a group of Catteni teasing and picking on a young girl. She was no more than 13. Somehow, I got the courage to walk right up to them and told them to stop, by then most humans new a few words. They were surprised, but stopped. I told them they didn’t want to play with a child. They wanted someone that knew what they were doing. At least that was what I was trying to say. I told them to give me the girl and I would take her place. Eventually they shoved the girl to me. I told her to take what I had and go to my house. She agreed and ran as soon as I let her go. That was when the men grabbed me, pulled me between two buildings, one liked hitting, but the others were happy with just having sex. When they were done I was beaten and sore. All but one left laughing. The one that stayed asked why. I told him I couldn’t let them hurt a child. Then he asked why I was out. I told him that I was finding food for babies. Remember all of this was in miming and gestures. He asked where I lived. I told him not far and that I would make it back all right. He gave me a ration bar and told me to eat. Then he asked how many babies I had. I said 10. He was quiet for a few moments, then told me to come to the south corner of the base. He would give me some food for the babies. Then he left. I sat for a while longer then got to my feet. I was half way home when the girl that I had rescued, found and helped me the rest of the way. The children were scared when they saw me.

Two days later found me near the south corner of the base. I was hiding. Most people were killed out of hand just being this closed to the fence. I had no idea what I was doing. Then a truck came up to the fence, stopped, and the man that had told me to be there stepped out. He looked around and walked over to a gate and opened it. He saw me move as I stood for a quick moment. He waved me to him. He took me by the arm and pushed me into the truck. Then he got inside. He asked what I would do for the food. I asked what he wanted. It was sex, of course. And I said yes. We had sex and I came away with a good-sized box of ration bars. He told me to come back in two day and he’d have more for me. The next time was human made, canned goods. The third was blankets. After that it was only once a week. And sometimes he brought a friend. We also taught each other the others language. After a year there were 15 kids and 2 other woman who I had saved from rape gangs. Vili was the Catteni that was helping me. He was like you in a way, as long as I made him happy. I shared as much as I could but the kids always came first. Then one day as I was on my way to make the pick up, some of the humans thought they would attack the base and Vili was killed. Most of the humans were rounded up. I had just about made it home when a ship flew overhead. It didn’t gas the area. They bombed it. I don’t know when it was hit, but as I got there, I only found the two women and the 13 year old, all three holding babies and running. Four babies were saved. And I knew there were no others; there was no house left. The whole area was practically leveled. The others didn’t stop running, and for good reason. Catteni solders were searching the area now. I didn’t care. I didn’t move. A soldier grabbed me. He was one that Vili would bring. Quietly he asked what happened. I told him. Then I told him that all the children were dead. I think at that point he was more upset about the children than for his friend. Someone came by then and took me from him. I was loaded onto a ship and sent off to your distribution planet. I hardly talked or ate. The only time I would awaken was to keep someone else from being beaten or raped. I think I was hoping that one would go too far and kill me, but then I always made the Catteni happy. Eventually I realized that I wasn’t to be killed and that I was doing what I could to keep people from being hurt. It didn’t make me many friends but I made a difference. That’s why when I woke I was not afraid of what would happen. I knew.”

Nevin just stared at me with his mouth hanging open. He looked kind of silly so I kissed him. Then he shook all over. “You must be the bravest woman I have ever known, to place yourself in harms way for so many others.”

He took me into his arms. For some reason this touched me. I began to cry and could not stop. He just held me as I cried for the little ones, that until now I had not let go of. Nevin, held me not knowing what else to do, rocking back and forth in the hope that it would help. It was some time later when the tears stopped. Nevin handed me a rag to wipe my face with.

“Are you better now?” he sounded shaken himself.

“I think so. I guess I needed that. This is something that all humans go through when there is a loss like this, both for males and females. It’s not always the same but eventually we have to cry the grief out. It helps us to move forward.”

“Catteni males don’t grieve. We just get angry. Our females will shed tears if something bad happens to a child or a mate, and our young, when they fall and hurt themselves. But that is not very often and we learn very young that small hurts are nothing to cry about.”

“How long now until we get to the space station?”

“We’re already at the station. We docked just before you finished your story. I think you did not notice because of all the emotions that were running high. You look tired. I want you to sleep for a little.”

“I think I will.” And with that I crawled to the top of the bed pulled a cover over me and fell asleep.

The room was not dark but the lights were dimmed when I woke some time later. I heard someone snoring. It sounded like it was coming from one of the chairs. I tried to move but was stiff and stuck in the blankets. I finally got myself unwound from them and went to take care of some personal needs but did not flush the unit for fear it would be heard out in the hall. When I came out my hand was grabbed. “Good, you did the right thing. There are many in the hall right now. More than there should be. You should try to sleep some more, the time will pass more quickly.” Nevin whispered.

“Can’t, I’ve slept myself out. You don’t happen to have any food or those ration bars. Do you?” He pulled a bar out of a sack that was beside the chair. “How long have we been at the station?” I asked very quietly.

“I don’t know. I dozed off, but I can hear them. A few have tried the door but it’s locked and gave up before trying something else.”

“How long should this stop take normally?”

“3 to 4 hours pending on the cargo. Maybe there’s a problem with the slaves or something. Let’s just hope there isn’t any trouble with the engines.”

“So what do we do now?”

“We wait. You could teach me. En-gl-ish. That will take up some time.”

And so the English lessons began. He was fast to get the words. By the time we heard the engines revving up and the docking clamps disengage, Nevin could have small conversations in English.

We continued to wait. Not wanting to risk that there was someone out in the corridor that was not to be there. I had another bar as we continued waiting, with me teaching him more words. It was a long time. Finally we heard some men in the corridor. Nevin seemed to recognize them but he still didn’t open the door. He waited some more moving closer to the door. I moved back, of course. Finally someone walked up to the door and tapped something on it. Nevin opened the door. “All clear, you can come out.” said the Captain.

“Captain, what was going on? Why did it take so long?” Nevin asked.

“Come to the galley and I’ll tell you both.”

We followed him to the galley, dished up food for ourselves, and sat down.

“I guess just before we got there, there was a riot. So, we had to sit in dock, in lock down for two hours. Then all of the slaves that were to be off-loaded had to be inspected. They claimed the last batch was all sick or something. That took 5 hours. Luck was with us as it only took an hour to load in the supplies we were to get. At least I though it was luck. But then the station commander and several of his men came on board, claming they needed to do an inspection. I know the man. He just wanted to see if we had anything good that he could take! 3 hours they stayed. The commander was mad that he couldn’t get into my quarters but I told him he would have to pay me ten times the amount of the slaves I delivered to look in there. He laughed and said if he had it, he might take me up on it. He left not long ago and as soon as we had clearance we took off. I hate that base! I need sleep. Nevin, see to it that the men that haven’t had their turn do so tomorrow. They need it now more than ever. And if I weren’t so tired, you’d be back in my room tonight.” He said, the last directed at me. The Captain finished his food and got up.

“I’ll have it all arranged for them starting with their next down time, Sir.” Nevin said.

“Sleep well, Captain.” And with that he left the room

“We should see how much room is left. We may have to shift something around.” Nevin said while putting his plate in the sink.

“Yes we should because our room is just too small.” I said quietly.

That made him laugh, which was what I was trying to do. We walked to the cargo bay and were shocked at how much there was. “I don’t think we’re going to find any room on this level, not even on top.” I said stating the obvious.

“Let me call the bridge and see if someone there knows.”

He called the bridge, asked his question, and was asked why he needed room in the cargo area. He told them the truth and said that the next group to have the female would need the space. He was told to shift to deck three that he thought there was some space there. And no, that is not a level with any slaves on it. And that was exactly were they found some space. Not much but it would hold 6 people easily. More if they were just standing. He thanked the one on the bridge and told him there was plenty of room. Nevin then got out several blankets and gave then to me to arrange while he went to get some towels.

We left the bay where it was and left. Feeling the need to be out of there and claiming that I was tired. Nevin walked me to my room. I think, he actually thought I wanted to sleep alone. I needed him. I wanted him in me and I told him so. When we did actually go to sleep we were both well satisfied.

The next morning started as we walked from my room and found several men standing next to the cargo bay door.

“Was I supposed to be here earlier or are they just trying to start earlier.”

“No, your first group should not be ready for an hour.” He finished just as we came up to them. “Guys, are you just waiting or are you thinking of starting early?”

“We just thought that if she was ready that we could start sooner. You have to admit we’ve been very patient.” said one of them.

“Yes, you have. And I am most grateful. But can you wait for say 30 minutes? I would like to get some food down so as to have the energy I know I’m going to need.” I gave them a knowing smile.

“Yes, of course. Why didn’t we think of that. Go eat we’ll be here.” another of the men said before the other could object. We walked to the galley as fast as we could, got the food and ate.

“We better hurry and get them out of the corridor before the Captain sees them.”

We finished our breakfast in record time and we walked back to the cargo bay. The men were all still there waiting.

“Andy you go in and make yourself ready while I explain the rules.”

I entered the bay and went to the area I had prepared. Nothing had been touched. I undressed quickly and wrapped myself in a blanket, sat down, and waited for the men to enter.

The men entered as if in a race to see who was going to get to me first. “Stop! You need not worry that you will not have a turn. All of you will. But if it is going to be a race then I’m not in it. Now if I remember you all were to have had a number to tell you what order you will be serviced in. Who was to be number 1?”

They all looked at each other as if they were little children that had just been caught with their hand in the cookie jar. Finally one man stepped forward. I motioned him to come forward. He did, quite willingly, removing his clothing as he did so. Then he was on me pushing himself into me. But it was evident that he had little in the way of experience. One could say even clumsy. But o-my did he like it. And before he was ready he came. He collapsed down on me breathing very hard. So hard that I was a little worried that he would not be able to continue. Finally he rolled off of me and out of the way of the next man. “Some of the others said that you did them while they lay on the floor, would you….” I smiled at him and patted the blankets next to me. He had removed his clothing already so he just lay down. I reached down to play with him to get him ready. Then I mounted him. He moaned the whole time. Finally with slow even strokes he came.

The third man caught me from behind and bent me forward. This one knew what he wanted. He slid his dick into me. He started out slow, but started to move faster as time moved on, as well as a little harder. By the end he was moving at a good clip and came with a great moan. He moved away and I reached for a towel to cleanup a little with. As I finished, the forth man was with me lying on the floor completely ready. I mounted him with some difficulty. He was bigger than the others, but he slid in. He started right away to play with my clit, as I moved up and down. He had talented fingers or I was more stimulated than I thought and came before he did. He placed his hands on my hip and began to help me move up and down. Faster and faster we went. Then with a final thrust he came. It took me a moment to relax enough to let him out of me.

I dismounted and looked again for the first man, but laughed with the rest as we all saw him curled in a corner, fast asleep. I shushed the others, and called in the second man again. This time he took me from the top; He was faster this time and more sure of himself. He came for the second time with a soft cry and a final thrust. He collapsed to the side and then moved out of the way.

The third man came to me and put his hand out for me to take. I did and he helped me to my feet. He turned me and sat me on the crate. Pulled me to the end of it opened my legs and wrapping them around his waist as he slid himself in. He pulled me to him and I wrapped my arms about his neck as he began to move me up and down. Up and down I bounced and he forced me to go faster and faster. Finally he came and we fell to the floor as his legs turned to jelly. Unfortunately he was a little to close to one of the crates and I hit my head. Nevin was there, saying that was going to be all for the day. When the stares had cleared I told him that it was all right. It was just a bump after all. The last man came to me and asked if I was sure. He didn’t want to cause me any harm. I told him I was fine, that I didn’t even have a headache. And with that he moved to cover me. He didn’t take long. I think he was thinking that I was just being nice. When he was finished he asked if I was still all right. I laughed softly and smiled at him. He moved away. I looked to Nevin and his eyes were full of concern for me. “Nevin I’m fine I’ve had worse bonks on the head. There’s not even a bump. How long do they still have?”

“Under a half-hour. Why?”

“I just thought I’d ask.”

Nevin ushered all of the men out as I cleaned myself up and got dressed. He returned quickly with a cup of water.

“You are just too kind to me.”

“I know. You have a few hours to rest before the others are up. What do you want to do?”

“I think I’d like to lay down myself for a while, but I do have one question. What do we do with him?”

Nevin look to where I was pointing and saw the first man still sleeping. “Never could take a woman more that once, but then he’s younger that I am. For now though we’ll just leave him.”

And with that we walked out of the cargo bay and straight to my room where as I made to lay down, then something else made itself clear it too wanted to play. I laughed as Nevin took me. And fell asleep in his arms when we finished.

It had felt like I had just closed my eye when Nevin shook me awake. “Andy, get up. The last group will be meeting you at the cargo bay in 30 minutes.” He stated in English. “How was that?” He asked in Catteni.

“That was very good. While I’m dressing you go get our lunch and meet me at the cargo bay.” I replied back in English. He smiled, as he understood every word. He leaned down gave me a kiss and left the room. I got up and took care of normal morning needs, dressed and went to the cargo bay. I got there the same time Nevin did. The decks had been moved so I started eating while he moved them to the third level. After finishing our food we prepared the area. Putting out the blankets and making sure that there were several towels at hand.

Then we heard them outside the cargo bay doors. Nevin looked at me. “You ready?”

“I know it’s hard for you, But think of it as a preview as to what I will do to you.” He had the embarrassed blush on his face and a smile. “Go get them, so I can get this over with.” He turned and left the room.

In a moment he was back with the men. None made a rush to get to me. Then one stepped forward. “The others thought it would be nice to tell you the order. I will be first, I am Bain, then Raul, then Ibon, Keelen and Notcher have a request. They would like to be taken together, if that is alright with you?”

“That will work out fine.” I said, smiled, and removed the blanket.

He needed no farther incentive. He came to me, but he didn’t cover me. Instead he brought my legs up, spreading them apart. Then he brought himself down and clamped his lips onto my clit, sucking on it, flicking it with his tongue. Then taking his fingers and sliding them in, one at a time. It had felt so good. He stopped before I was ready. He brought my legs farther up as he came in to press his dick in to me. There was some resistance at first but after a moment it began to move easily. That was when he began to move much faster. The way he was moving was also stroking my clit and just before he came, I came. He collapsed, partly, on to me but after a minute, moved off of me and out of the way. Raul was the next and he to wasted little time and he came to me; rolled me over and raised my ass into the air. He was bigger than Bain but he still fit. He to felt the need to go fast and soon he to came.

Then Ibon was there next to me, lying on his back. He was bigger than both the others. Now I knew why they chose the order they did. I mounted him after a quick clean up. As I slid him inside me I prepared myself to be bounced with his help. But he put his hands on my hips and only allowed me to move, to my amazement, rather slowly, but deeply. Occasionally reaching down to play with my clit, this of course would only made me want to move faster. Finally with a great groan, he came.

As I dismounted Keelen moved in, or I should say under, and Notcher moved in behind, but instead of having me mount first one and then have the second push himself in. The two of them placed their dicks at the opening and pressed at the same time and they went in. I gasp at the feel of my tight pussy and of their stiff dicks in me. Who knew Catteni had such good rhythm together. As the two men moved as one, but didn’t seem to want to rush things. Then with one final thrust they both came.

The rotation began again with Bain taking me from behind. After a quick clean up, Raul picked me up and instead of setting me on the crate put me against the wall. I wrapped my arms about his neck pulled myself up and slid down on his dick. I didn’t need to do much, he let his legs do it, as we bounced there against the wall. When he had finished he set me on the crate and moved away. Then Ibon moved in raising my legs, sliding himself in, closing my legs but wrapped his arms around them, moved me to the end of the crate and went to town. By closing my legs it allowed me to put more pressure on him. It took no time at all before he gave a soft cry and came.

Thinking the next two were going to go for a double, I made to get down from the crate. But Keelen was there with a towel and began to clean me himself, even on the inside. Then slid himself in, wrapped my legs about his waist and brought my arms up to his neck, began to move me up and down. This time he did not hold back, it was fast and hard. And when he had finished we both gave soft moans of relief. Then he placed me on the floor and moved away. Notcher was the last and that was going to have to stand, I couldn’t take much more. He came to me and covered me, shoving his dick into me roughly. I let out a yelp of surprise as well as pain. But he didn’t stop there. He was just as force full as Keelen was. He came with a great cry as he finished. Notcher was somewhat wobbly as he tried to get to his feet. Nevin helped him but he sank to the floor a few steps away.

“What time is it?” I asked. Hoping that it was to close to the end of there time.

“They have gone over their time.” He leaned in closer. “So don’t worry.”

I looked around the room and most had dressed and were leaving. “You need to get some rest. The Captain is on the bridge but has told me you are to be in his cabin and ready when he gets there. Then tomorrow you have off. Then the new schedule will take place.”

He wrapped a blanket around me, picked me up and carried me to my room. That was fine, I wasn’t sure I could walk, anyhow. He put me into bed, kissed me and left the room. It was not long before I was sleeping.

I was thinking to myself, as I was sitting on the Captains bed. Should I put myself into a position or should I just wait. The Captain must have still been busy on the bridge. I had heard the men pass by already. I knew Nevin had gone to the bridge, to take his shift. Now it was just a matter of waiting. I rolled over onto my stomach just in case the Captain wanted to take me from behind first.

Not much later I heard the Captain go to the galley. It wouldn’t be long now. It still felt like forever. I must have been dozing when he came in. I heard the door close and lock, then turned my head to look in his direction. “Turn back. I like looking at you like that.” So I did. I felt his cold hand caress my legs, moving up to my ass. He grabbed both cheeks and gave them a squeeze. I squealed. He pushed my knees out to the side. Working himself in as close as he could. He was lying on top of my back, as he pushed his dick into me. He was being gentle which was a nice change but as he began to move I knew it would not last. He had hold of my shoulders and he pushed harder and harder into me. I was relieved when he finally came. The Captain had a timepiece on his deck and just before we started, I had the chance to look at it. We had gone only 30 minutes. I wasn’t given much time to rest as he raised himself off of me and told me to turn over.

As we met face to face, I could feel he was already rearming for a second go. He laid back down on me looking into my eyes, running his hands around my face. “I don’t know why it is that you have had such an effect on me. I have had others of your race, but you? How is it, you can be so different from them? Why is it that I find myself remembering what my friends have told me to do with any of the sleeper that awakened? Then I think of what you have promised to do. What you have done already. What you have been through on this ship. And I find, that I keep asking why. So why do you do this?”

“Partly to save my life, that much I’m sure you knew. Partly because I like sex, I sometimes feel like I’m going to go crazy if I don’t get it. The other part is I don’t know and I don’t care, this is the first time in a long while that I have felt even remotely good, even with what happened. And if this is what makes me happy, by making others happy and feeling better by having sex with them then good for me.”

I didn’t feel like talking anymore, so I reached down grabbed his dick gave it several good squeezes and positioned it so that all he had to do was push. He shoved it in but didn’t continue. He leaned down onto me gave me a kiss on the mouth opening it with his tongue and put it in my mouth. I then did the same to him. I think he was somewhat surprised. I brought my legs up, wrapped them behind his back and began to push on his butt to make his start to move. He let out a laugh as he took the hint and began shoving his dick in to me with a vengeance, harder and harder, faster and faster. The feeling was indescribable. Finally he came. After a moment of rest he withdrew from me, rolled onto his side, grabbed a pillow for both of us, pulled the blankets over us, pulled me to him and took a deep breath and fell asleep. I followed not long after.

I woke to find myself alone. Even more surprised to find that I had slept myself out. I let myself stretch and got out of bed. Guessing that the Captain was on the bridge, I had time to take care of some things, like a shower. The water was nice, warm and much better that a sponge bath. I finished, dressed, and made to leave. That was when I realized the door would not open. I was locked in. Damn him, no wonder he didn’t wake me that morning. I thought to myself.

I began pounding on the door, yelling to be let out. I stopped from time to time to listen and see if I could hear anything. After what felt like forever, I heard someone in the hall and doubled my effort. But nothing happened. I stopped again. I couldn’t believe this was happening. Then I heard someone in the hall. And they stopped at the door. “Stop yelling. The Captain said you will stay in his room. That is all you need to know.” The man said. Unfortunately, I couldn't put a name to the voice.

“What about food? There’s none in here and I'm starving. I need to have something to eat. Ask him about that would you.”

The man said nothing but walked towards the bridge. Moments later I heard someone walk back but they didn’t stop at the door. I was furious, frustrated, and disappointed. I turned, putting my back to the door and sank to the floor.

As I hit the floor I heard someone coming back from the galley direction and stop at the door. “Move to the other side of the room, face the wall and do not move.”

There was nothing I could do. I got up, moved to the far side of the room and stood there. I heard the door open and something get tossed onto the bed. Then the door closed again. I turned and moved over to the bed to see what it was. It was a large pack of ration bars. At least the person was generous. I took one of the ration bars and ate. I set myself up at the Captains desk. Since I had nothing to do, I went through the library that was there.

It was just a matter of waiting till the Captain left the bridge and came to his quarters. He found me sitting there at the desk, fully dressed. He looked surprised. Good. “What are you doing? Why are you not ready for me on the bed?”

“I’m not feeling very good. I’d like to go to my room, now.” I said trying to sound small.

“What! What’s wrong?” His face went from anger to concern in a blink.

“I’m not sure. Maybe it’s something in the air. But if I may ask, why was I locked in here all day?”

He just looked at me. Finally, “I just felt like it. But why do you not feel good?”

“I think there was something wrong with the ration bars. The first one I ate was fine but then a bit later I started on a second bar, it tasted strange. So I put it aside and tried another. It tasted just as bad. I haven’t eaten anything else. I tasted the water in the sink but thought I better not drink from it.”

“I told that fool to give you what you needed. Let me see the ration bars that you couldn’t eat.”

I handed them to him. He sniffed, then took a careful bite. And immediately spit it out. He also began swearing, throwing the bars from him. He grabbed me by the arm and led me from the room. We walked to the galley where he shoved me into the seats. He moved to the intercom and called for Nevin. Nevin arrived at a run, and came straight to me. “Captain, what is wrong?” His eyes were full of concern for me.

“The food that was brought to her was tainted. She didn’t eat much of it. But says she feels bad. Take care of her. Test the food you give her.”

“What was the bar tainted with?” I asked, looking as scared as I could.

He named something but I was not familiar with the Catteni words. Then Nevin said "cleaning fluid."

“Were there more than two bars?” the Captain asked.

“There were 8 in the bag. They're on your desk.”

He turned and left the room. Nevin went to the freezer got out a container and put it in the warmer. Then got some water for me. That was when the Captain came back with one of the others. He was yelling that he had nothing to do with any contaminated bars.

“Then how did she get them? You are the one that told me she was awake. That she was asking for some food. I told you to get it. So what is going on? What did you do?”

“I did nothing. I would not do anything. I like what she has done for me, for us.”

“If I may ask, were any of the other bars contaminated?” I interjected, hoping that I would not get into much trouble. The Captain tossed a sack into the hand of the crewman.

“Test them. Now!”

The crewman opened the bag, took out a bar and looked at the wrapper, then smelled it. He found one of the 2 that had been opened, the captain must have retrieved them too, looked at the wrapper and smelled it too. He tore the wrapper off the new one and took a bite. By the look on his face, he did not find any thing wrong. But he took a small bite of the contaminated one and spit it out. He put them on the table and took another bar and tasted it. “There is nothing wrong with these two. And the wrappers of the contaminated ones are not discolored. Could it have been done where they were made?”

The Captain reached into the bag, got out a fresh bar, tore open the wrapper and took a bite. His face told that he too found nothing wrong.

“That must be the problem. Check the rest of the shipment to see if there are any others that might be contaminated. It would seem you had the bad luck to find the only ones in the bag that were bad. Eat something then go to your room. The new rotation starts tomorrow. But you will be in my quarters when I get off bridge duty tomorrow. Is that understood?”

“Yes Sir.” I replied. Just then the warmer beeped. Nevin took the food out of it, dished it up and served it.

I ate slowly. Like someone who had not eaten all day as well as not having a happy tummy. Nevin had me eat two bowls of the stew and then lead me to my room. As soon as we were both inside I started laughing.

“What? What’s so funny?” He asked in English.

“I hope it takes a long time to search the rest of the ration bar supplies. Though, I doubt I could play that card again.” I replied in kind, continuing to laugh some.

“What are you talking about?”

“I tainted the bars. After eating one, I then took two more from the bag and took a small amount of each one by biting it off and saving the pieces for later. I found some cleaning solution in a drawer. I made a light solution and sprinkled it on the two bars after I removed them from the packaging. This'll teach the Captain to lock me in his quarters without my permission.”

“You contaminated the bars. And the Captain and Galvin ate some. Andy that was mean.” He said, but started to laugh and so did I.

“Do you have to be anywhere right now?” I gave him a knowing smile.

As an answer, he scooped me up move the few steps to the bed and began to show me that he did not have to be anywhere but there.
