Alien Mine Ch. 12a

"Nothing new," her colleague from the China section said; if someone grabbed her, it was not us. However, the Chinese are still in an uproar.

"Sounds ominous," said her boss, "is there any indication of what might have happened to her? Initial intel suggested that she was killed in a car crash."

"I have a source that says the Chinese are sure she wasn't in the car, that the body wasn't hers," Leslie said, abruptly interrupting her colleague. "Furthermore, they seem convinced we were involved. She was their leading scientist on the high-energy laser project and reportedly working on a significant breakthrough. But apparently, all her research is gone, wiped from the databases; at least, that is what I am hearing."

"In addition, they have alerted their agents here in the states to look for any information about her, and they are doubling their efforts at cyber penetration of US Pacific Command Honolulu and Yokosuka, Japan. The Chinese are infiltrating a cyber team trying to gain direct access to controlled comms and military intel. This morning, I was provided a list of the agents, where they are coming from, and their flights. They will begin arriving in three days. We are taking action to neutralize them, and I will need guidance on how we should handle them."

That stopped the discussion; "where did you get that information?" The head of the China division asked, glaring at her, "and why wasn't I informed."

"A source," was all Leslie said coldly, "and I just did. So now, what should we do about it?"

One of Leslie's weaknesses was that she loved this, showing up a colleague she did not like. Stone cold bitch, except where Rhys was concerned, it seemed, then apparently like putty. She was concerned that the Chinese had seen through their ruse so quickly. They had been thorough; it should have been weeks before they figured it out. Unfortunately, it had been necessary to wipe Mei's work once that happened, and that only added to suspicions by the Chinese with good reason. Rhys had wondered if they were getting help from the Om. Leslie shuddered; that's the last thing they needed. Creatures like the Om allied with the megalomaniac who currently ran the country, the shit was really going to really hit the fan if they couldn't sneak Bao out unnoticed. But, of course, she was just a grad student; it shouldn't be a big deal.

Leslie was in a hurry to wrap up the meeting; she wanted to go over the latest results to search for the Om with the AI. It would be a relief when her Bob was fully functional. She smiled to herself, thinking how far she had come. Just a few months ago, she had been terrified and furious about being infected; now, she just wished it would hurry up.

Rhys and the girls had much to do with her attitude adjustment, but being attacked and having her colleague and family slaughtered brought home the seriousness of the threat they faced. And though she hated to admit it, she wanted to be one of Rhys' girls, able to communicate with him through the symbiont like the others did.

Leslie wanted that more intimate connection, even though it meant Rhys had even more control over her. She crossed her legs, squirming as she thought about what that control could mean. Fuck, I can't believe I am getting aroused in the middle of a meeting. One of the advantages of the symbiont was the ability to concentrate on more than one thing at a time. Resisting the urge to touch herself, she let one part of her brain pay attention to the meeting while the other replayed images of a decidedly different nature.

****

That does it," Thea said to Mei;" thanks for the help on the design."

Mei Watched Thea move her hands inside the hologram sending the design to the fabricators. She looked so elegant, Mei thought, tall, long lustrous blond hair. Thea was wearing a dress today, a sheath that hugged her stunning figure, different shades of green blended together to highlight her breasts and hips. High heels to match, all designed by Amancia. Mei looked at her own clothes, and while she looked nice, it was nothing like Thea. But Thea liked to dress, even at work, and it did make her look good.

Mei was wearing midnight blue pants and a white stretchy blouse, and soft boots. She had never worn clothes that felt like this, some more alien technology to understand. Sandy told her they were bulletproof, and the next version would include temperature and humidity control. She watched the fabricators begin to work. That was equally impressive; she likened it to an alien 3D printer.

Mei was still getting used to the way Thea was able to work so effortlessly with the AI. Rhys had told her it would get easier as the symbiont developed, which both scared and excited her. She desperately wanted to dive into the science behind the alien technology, and while the AI was unbelievable, she wanted the instant connection through the symbiont the others had, and Thea would have soon, she thought, enviously.

Her thoughts were interrupted by Thea pulling her into a hug. "Thanks for the help, she said, giving Mei a kiss on the lips and a smile before turning back to work on her newest weapon.

That was something else Mei was getting used to, the touching, hugs, and even kissing throughout the day. Sex had never been important to her, or perhaps she just hadn't had the right lovers. Her husband had been a clumsy fool in bed, only concerned about himself. Although she had briefly enjoyed some of the others, there weren't many. It wasn't until Rhys had taken her to bed that she realized what she had been missing. The first time had been so amazing to her; she had no idea her body was capable of that much pleasure. She had fallen in love that night, and it was the last thing she had expected. Rhys had been so gentle with her, so loving, and he had made her feel things no one else ever had. Then the same night, she had been introduced to another forbidden kind of love.

Sex with another woman was considered shameful in the small villages where she came from. Women were expected to marry a man and produce many children. Later she knew of women who loved other women, but it was never discussed in public. So she wasn't prepared when Sandy took her in her arms and kissed her and made love to her. Her mind was confused, but her body wasn't, and anyway, it felt too good to worry about it at the time. Now, well, she liked it and just accepted it. In just a few weeks, she had made love with all of them several times, but she was particularly attracted to Thea, besides Rhys, that is.

It was probably because Thea was brilliant, well they all were, but Thea shared her interests. The truth was, Mei was intimated by the intelligence of everyone. She was usually the most intelligent person in the room, though she hid it well. But, unfortunately, it was not the case now, she thought uneasily, glancing at Thea with a troubled look.

"What's wrong," Thea asked kindly, seeing the troubled look on Mei's face.

"I don't know; I guess it's overwhelming sometimes what has happened in just the past two weeks. Learning about the Drans and the Om, alien technology, and of course Rhys and the rest of you." She blushed furiously, biting her lower lip, then looked at Thea with a shy smile.. "You are all so brilliant," she said before Thea could say anything. "I wonder why you even needed me?"

Thea gave her a look of understanding and then a smile that lit up her face. "I felt the same way when I first got here, and you are right; it is overwhelming at first. But I fell in love with Rhys, the other girls, and the AI," she said with a smile. But, of course, the symbiont helps also, or at least that's what they say."

"But yours isn't mature yet, is it?"

No, but Rhys says it is getting close, and I can interface much better with the AI now, and then of course, there are all the changes to my body," she said, running her hands down her breasts and over her hips while giving them a wiggle. You are going to love it, and so will Rhys," she said with a gleam in her eye.

Mei blushed. "Will I be as beautiful as you?" she said softly.

"Of course, but you will have to ask Rhys for the details," Thea said with a soft giggle.

Mei blushed again. This is all so new to me; it was never like this for me, with a man, I mean, or a woman," she added softly. The others before, I don't think they ever loved me, just used me for a while, and I let them."

"I am sorry," Thea said, taking her in her arms.

Mei enjoyed the feeling, the physical contact. It had been something that had been missing

"You know," Mei said quietly, "I never knew love could be like this. I had a few lovers, but they never treated me well. One of them even;" Mei stopped; she did not want to talk about her husband and child. "Well, never mind that, but sex was never like this for me, and for the last several years, I have been caught up in my work, alone. It was such an empty life," she said wistfully. "I am strong in my work," she went on, not looking at Thea, "but weak in my relationships."

"What do you mean?"

"I tried hard to please my lovers, too hard, I guess." She said, leaning into the arms wrapped around her. "I was too unsure of myself; I had always thought I wasn't good enough. The men in my life had not thought I was good enough either," she said sadly.

Gathering herself, she put her arms around Thea." It is different now," Mei said, feeling better just thinking about it. "I now know how my lovers feel, I know they love and cherish me, and every time Rhys makes love to me, it is like I am the most important person in the world to him. You have no idea how much of a difference that makes to me."

"You want to be loved," Thea said.

"Yes, I had no idea how much until now. And now I know without a doubt that I am loved because I can already feel everyone, a little only, but it is still there. It is the most wonderful thing in the world to me. I would give Rhys my soul if he asked," she said softly.

"You have a beautiful soul," Thea said. "I am still new to all this, but you are beautiful. I still think I am dreaming sometimes; I mean, here I am with this most beautiful sexy Chinese woman in my arms."

"Thank you," Mie said shyly, "I know that I am not beautiful, not like you and the others. But Rhys told me I will be," she said hopefully.

"I know Rhys wouldn't lie to you, but I think you are beautiful now anyway." Thea Kissed Mei again and pulled back, looking into her eyes. She turned her head slightly as if listening to something. "Rhys wants you in an hour, more Bob," she said, winking her eye, "but in the meantime, let's look at this new weapon I am trying to design. I think it is going to be a beast of a Trangrod killer."

Thea and Mei liked each other, quickly becoming close friends. Thea supposed that was natural given they were all sleeping together. Still, there was a different connection with Mei; she wasn't sure if it was the shared interest in science or just that she found Mei so beautiful and sexy. The physical changes hadn't started to kick in yet, but Rhys said her symbiont was developing rapidly.

But something had changed. Mei was happy, almost carefree in the way she laughed and smiled, and her lovemaking was spontaneous and enthusiastic. And they worked exceptionally well together, almost anticipating each other's needs. Mei was working to understand the underlying nature of the Drans science and technology, but she applied herself equally hard to more practical problems. Thea would never have been able to design the new powered armor without her help, and the way she grasped the self-organizing features of the Drans smart metal was just brilliant. If Bao was half a s good there progress would be exponential.

Sandy couldn't read their thoughts, but the emotions were a different matter. There is some serious bonding going on there, she thought. That's good. It will help Mei adjust. Sandy worried about Mei, she came from a different background, and they didn't really know much about her past before joining them. Mei was reluctant to talk about it, and Sandy hadn't pushed it. It looked like she had found a soul mate in Thea, at least someone she could talk science with. It would be interesting to see where this went. Thea was a strong woman. Mei also, in some ways. She had clawed her way to the top in a man's world based on her intellect. But in other regards, she was fragile. So they would be good for each other.

The rapid development of Mei's symbiont puzzled her, though. Her emotions were easy for Sandy to read, which had only happened later with the other girls. It was especially evident at times like this when Mei and Thea were focused on a project. The two of them were excited about something, and at times like this, the faint emotional bands seemed to intertwine such that she could barely tell them apart.

"Rhys, what's up with Thea and Mei? Are you doing something to them?"

"No, what do you mean, are they ok?"

"I don't know; their emotions seem to be in sync, almost as if they were a couple already."

"I am not doing anything, and Mie's symbiont is just starting to grow. I can feel it but nothing else. Perhaps they just like each other."

"Perhaps." Sandy let it go, but she wasn't so sure. Sometimes Rhys did not get the subtleties of women's emotions, even though he controlled them. Something was different with those two, and she thought Mei's symbiont was growing faster than it should. Perhaps it was the energy they somehow managed to generate during sex. It almost felt like her Bob climaxed when they were all together in bed, and the climaxes seemed to reverberate between them. At any rate, Thea was pleased, and Mei seemed to be fitting in well. She noticed these things even if Rhys did not, and it was her job to manage the girls

***

One of the mysteries they had yet to solve was the strange energy rush after sex. Thea was an engineer, detail-oriented, though, and she didn't like mysteries. She thought about the strange energy in her spare time, but she had so many ideas running through her head. Thankfully she didn't need much sleep, and that energy surge always refreshed her. Rhys said Bob had no idea where the energy came from but was otherwise silent on the issue. So it has to come from somewhere, Thea thought while looking over designs for new rifles.

She absently updated the schematics for her newest rifle, adding a few changes, and told the AI to send it to the fabricators. Unreal, she thought, still puzzled by the source of the energy. There was so much they didn't understand yet; it was exciting in more ways than one.

It was time for Mei to get 'refreshed' by Rhys, and she intended to be there. The weapons would have to wait until later.

That evening Mei screamed as she came again and felt Rhys begin to cum in her. The sensation of so much pleasure was almost too much for her. She screamed and shouted love words in Chinese; her English was forgotten as her body withered in ecstasy as Rhys orgasm joined hers. As it washed over her, she could faintly feel others joining them. She couldn't tell them apart, but they were there, and the pure emotions of unconditional love and joy made her cry with happiness. This was something that had been missing from her life, an empty hole that had now been filled up with something so wonderful that Mei knew she would never find the words to describe it.

She lay limp in Rhys' arms as Thea snuggled up against her and Sandy on the other. Another thing that had changed, she thought, was that she was utterly comfortable making love with the other girls there, even when they joined in. Never in her wildest fantasies had she imagined something like this, but having them there only added to the pleasure, the love she felt when they were together.

Rhys started to withdraw, but she held him to her, not wanting to release him from her body yet. "I love you," she said in Chinese, knowing he would understand it. "I love you more than anything ever in my life."

Rhys paused, letting her hold him inside her, enjoying the feeling. "I love you too," he said, surprising himself. Mei had only been with them for two weeks, but she was so innocent in many ways, and her emotions were pure, almost simple. There was none of the anger that he felt in Leslie nor the complex emotions of the other girls. Rhys was surprised he could feel them at this stage, but they were there. He knew Sandy could sense them as well.

"Am I going to be as beautiful as your other women?" Mei asked in a shy voice.

Rhys kissed her tenderly, his lips just brushing over hers. "Of course, you will be just as beautiful, young, and with a body men will fight over. Women, too, he added.

"Are you controlling it? Am I going to have the body you want?"

"Yes, Bob knows what I want in a woman, and you will be that woman in a few months."

Rhys could feel the feelings of joy and contentment his words sparked in Mei. Sandy looked at him and raised an eyebrow. "If only Leslie had been so easy," she said with a wry smile.

It was easy for Mei because she had never been this happy. To be accepted and wanted by a man like Rhys had been a childhood dream. Her marriage had destroyed that dream, and though she had attempted to recapture it later in life, it had never happened. Now she had been given a unique gift so special that she cried quiet tears of happiness. Snuggling closer to Rhys, she felt Thea press up against her. Sandy was on the other side of Rhys with Kiania. That was something else she didn't understand, the acceptance of the other women. Not just acceptance, but kindness and Love. She had expected resentment and jealousy, but not kindness and love.

Even so, Mei was intimidated by the other women, by their beauty and brilliance. Especially Sandy, who had been nothing but kind. Mei sensed power there, and it made her wary. But she wanted to be like them, and Sandy had been her first female lover. Sandy was so beautiful, the long red hair, infectious smile that could turn so sexy. A beautiful body and the clit piercing that Mei thought so erotic.

Thea had a certain aura about her as well that drew Mei to her. Thea made her feel secure, loved, much like Rhys but in a different way, more feminine, of course. Her long blonde hair and Nordic beauty fascinated her. Mei liked to run her fingers through that hair, enjoying the silky feel, the smell. Kiania was different again. Fierce in a way Mei would never be, yet kind and loving to her. Mei understood that Kiania was a warrior now, no matter what she had been before. That piercing gaze; so hard at times, but then turning soft whenever she looked at Rhys or Sandy. She didn't know Amancia or Leslie very well yet but was looking forward to it.

The one thing she wanted as bad as Rhys was for her symbiont to develop so she could interact with the AI and the others on a much deeper level. She understood the process, that getting as much cum as she could (more Bob as Sandy put it) hastened the development. Mei made sure none of it went to waste no matter where or in who it ended up. Thea laughingly had accused her of being way too greedy, but Mei just said she was in a hurry and was not the least bit apologetic.

She ran her hand slowly over Rhys' stomach, letting her fingers lightly caress his stomach muscles until they reached his cock. She kept her touch light so as not to wake him but let her fingers lightly explore. The cock felt so innocent to her fingers, relaxed and soft after the workout the girls had given it. She blushed, thinking about how hard it became when he was excited, his balls full and tight. Sighing, she let her hand fall away, surprised and a little embarrassed at her needs, she would have liked to waken Rhys with her mouth, get him to take her again. Mei giggled to herself; she wasn't greedy; instead, she seemed insatiable these days. She let herself drift off to sleep, knowing Rhys would be awake and she would get what she wanted in a few hours.
