A New Beginning Ch. 04

"Is Ronald behind this?"

"No, I talked to him. For once he's innocent. He doesn't believe that the ship is doomed or anything like that."

"Have you talked with Chantelle about this yet?"

"Yeah a few minutes ago, she suggested I come to you with it." He stroked my breast again.

"OK, I'll talk to Father Ray and have him talk to the crew."

"Are you going to call another general assembly?"

"No Joshua I don't think that's necessary. I'll have Father talk to them in small groups like he did last month. His method of quiet diplomacy seems to work."

I paused.

"You got any more problems?" I asked.

"No darling I don't." He smiled. He knew what I was thinking.

"Good because I'm hungry. Lay down." I then sucked him until he exploded in my mouth. Next we showered together. While I held on to the shower nozzle, he pummeled my pussy from behind.

I love to make love in the shower. I love the feel of the hot water flowing over my naked body while my passions are rising to a boiling point. There's nothing like the sensation of an intense orgasm running rampant under my skin while hot water is flowing over my body.

I know I issued orders that no one was allowed more than one shower every two days. I stuck to that order myself. Every time I had sex with someone in my shower -- which wasn't very often I might add -- I waited two days before I showered again. I only broke that order once and that was with Sam. I had had sex with Chanatelle just one day earlier with her in her shower.

I do not know if Joshua, Chantelle and Yves were sticking to the two days between showers. I just assumed that they were.

Also, it might seem as though I was uninformed as to what was going on onboard my ship. But that's not true. I was well aware of everything that happened onboard my ship; it was my duty to know what went on onboard.

But every time I entered into the cafeteria or laundry or wherever a few crew members were gathered, they would suddenly change their conversations and talk in hushed voices.

I just assumed that they were still talking about the explosion and conspiracy and that they didn't want to get caught talking about it. I ignored them. In that I plead guilty. I guess I should have been more diligent. I will in the future.

As for the games room and the TV lounge, I seldom entered the games room, while Sam, Judith and Carli didn't allow that kind of talk in the TV lounge.

After Joshua left my quarters I hunted up Father Ray. I told him what Joshua had told me. I also told him to contact Chantelle and Joshua if he thought he needed more information. He said he had already heard about the rumor that Satan had caused the explosion and that he had been quietly talking to the crew about it -- again in small groups. He told me that it was nothing to get alarmed about.

When I mentioned to him that the crew was again divided into two groups, he just smiled. But that was his way of coping with a bad situation. He never let disappointment or a deficient state of affairs get the better of him.

Father Ray came through again. He was able to divert a potentially explosive issue into mild disagreements among the crew. I was glad to have him aboard. We only had about six or seven weeks to go and with the crew now calmed down somewhat I didn't think Ronald could cause much trouble.
