The Fate of Terra Ch. 14

All of creation seemed to freeze in that moment, and then in the next pain engulfed her ass from the paddle that thundered into her from behind. At the same time, two hands shot out of the darkness and twisted her nipples. Her eyes clenched shut and then... she felt nothing except for the burning remnants of the sudden attack. Her head whipped around wildly, trying to see where the next strike would come from.

She focused on a hand that slowly came through the darkness and cupped her exposed cunt. "Not wet yet," Aki said, sounding disappointed. "Not a pain freak then... Oh well," she surmised, threading her fingers through a thick patch of fur, "sucks to be you then." The hair was twisted through her fingers and she pulled back on it, Sun Mi's not-quite suspended body being pulled along with it. She cried out and desperately tried to thrust her waist forward to lessen the strain.

The hand finally let go and shimmered into nothingness as it was lost beyond her view. Sun Mi panted heavily, not so much at the physical exertion, but at the mental toll this was taking on her. This time a flogger was used underhand to catch her between her legs at the same time two crops came out of the darkness simultaneously across each of her nipples. She gave a muffled cry through her gag and her body tightened against its bonds, then hung limp.

Hands appeared from behind her and cupped her perky tits. The lips of a taller woman kissed her in the crook of her neck, breasts pressing against her upper back. Her heart jumped as she felt something poke her lower back. A hand moved from her right boob and trailed down towards her pussy. Two fingers probed her deep and she squirmed at the intrusion. Aurora's voice came from behind her, "Looks like she was telling the truth, not a virgin." Leaning in to whisper into Sun Mi's ear, she told her, "But you know what? That just means I get to go first..."

She felt the slick phallus probing her entrance and she shuddered. Aurora murmured in her ear, "Shh. If you break from a simple fucking, we won't get to use the 'really' fun stuff on you." Sun Mi gritted her teeth at the woman's smug tone. Who the fuck did she think she was? They could do their worst... she wouldn't crack no matter what.

"Relax," Kat's voice came from out of the darkness. "You must be tight and a dildo isn't as forgiving as a cock. Well," she amended, "I've only had one cock so I can't really say that with any authority. It's double-ended so Aurora will be feeling it as well, but I can guarantee you she'll also be enjoying it more."

Sun Mi barely had time to process her words before Aurora, who was falling in love with the girl's slender hips and the image of her frame pulled tight, thrust into her. They both moaned at the contact and Aurora grabbed her modest handholds and started driving her hips forward rhythmically. Her body strained against her bonds each time she was penetrated. Her eyes went wide as she felt the admiral bottom-out and accept more into herself as she stretched the girl's insides, pushing even deeper.

At last, she felt Aurora's body shudder in release, her body quaking against her. Sun Mi hadn't wanted to enjoy it, but her own climax was not far behind. Just as she was about to go over the edge, she felt the dildo pulled away. Her mouth gaped open and she whimpered as Aurora smacked her ass. "That wasn't bad. I'm sure a little practice would improve her 'bedside manner,' but her body sure seemed to know what it wanted."

Sun Mi whined and rubbed her legs together, almost letting herself demand that they continue. That they couldn't just leave her like this... Out of the darkness, a flog whipped across both of her tits. Simultaneously, she felt two prongs dig into her ass. The shock seemed to flood her entire system and she hung nerveless, twitching from the abuse. Vaguely, she noted that they were untying her. She was draped over someone's shoulder and carried a short ways before being tossed unceremoniously atop a fluffy bed.

The light went out and she found herself in complete darkness. Unknown to her, the enhancements allowed her tormentors to see her just fine. They surrounded the bed and grabbed each of her arms and legs and pulled them, hooking them into loops that stretched her limbs tight against each of the four corners of the bed. Kat motioned for Aki to take the girl's head and Rin to take her pussy and they both set about their tasks with purpose and enthusiasm.

Sun Mi was relieved when they removed her gag. Then she was horrified when she felt two legs clamp around her head and her mouth was submerged in Aki's wet pussy, her nose tickled by a patch of fur. Aki wiggled her cute butt and pinched the girl's nose. "Come on, use your tongue," she giggled. As she felt Sun Mi comply, she patted her head like a puppy that'd just done a neat trick. "That's a good girl," she enthused. "What a good little pussy slave."

Meanwhile, 'down below' Rin wasted no time working her up slowly. She simply jammed two fingers into her cunt and sucked on her tender love button. It took less than a minute to have her victim squirting and shaking in ecstasy. Then the girl was squirming in distress as she learned that Rin wasn't stopping. Whimpering madly, she pulled viciously at her bindings, but she couldn't move her body more than an inch and her tormentor took every advantage of her situation.

Aki's eyes rolled back and she moaned, "Oh, god. That feels incredible..." Her legs clamped down tight on the poor girl's head and it was a struggle to keep from using her enhanced strength. Finally satisfied, Aki scooted back and looked at Sun Mi's damp face. Giggling, she switched with Rin. Their young prisoner moaned in despair when she realized it wasn't over. Rin was, if anything, even more demanding and she reached back behind her to pull viciously on the abused girl's nipples.

Aki bounced over to the toy box they'd brought along and pulled out an electro wand. Skipping back to her plaything with a huge smile on her face, she knelt between the girl's legs and began alternating between licking and shocking her exposed clit. The first time Sun Mi felt the wand she jerked and screamed into Rin's cunt. This set her off and she rode her captive's face through her release.

When they were finally satisfied, they tagged in Stacey and Dejah. The pair smirked at each other and began untying a somewhat unresponsive Sun Mi. Dragging the girl into the bathroom, they rejuvenated her with hot and cold water. The occupants of the room outside could hear the smacks of skin on skin contact as they took great pleasure in slapping her tits and spanking her ass. Sun Mi was surprised at how soft the fur was between Dejah's legs and actually enjoyed eating her out.

Stacey worked to remove any notion of enjoyment by raking her nails along the girl's ass and fingering her virgin asshole. By the time Sun Mi was dragged out of the bathroom, she was, if not refreshed, at least clean. However, the water had done nothing for her aches and in fact, her skin was even more sensitive now.

Kat flicked open a lighter, giving their slave a chance to navigate the room, and Sun Mi could just make out her form on the bed. Knowing what was expected of her, she stumbled over to her and lowered her head between her legs. She tried to use what the other girls had taught her to bring Kat the most pleasure, hoping that the quicker she satisfied her, the faster this would all be over. Her head shot up in surprise as she felt two rough hands on her hips and a hard --warm- cock pressed against her tender pussy.

For some reason, she hadn't thought Michael was present. It had just seemed like this was a kinky girl's night. She suddenly had some inkling as to how the girls stayed satisfied. Kat had been expecting her reaction and had stopped her head from rising too high. She wrapped her legs around the unfortunate girl's head and squeezed lightly, pushing her prisoner's face into her wet folds.

Michael thrust into her, and when he reached his limit, he ground deeper --just to make sure. Sun Mi mewled into Kat's pussy and opened her mouth to inhale sharply when he started fingering her, only to realize she was unable to breathe. Kat waited until she was struggling nicely before letting her lungs get a reprieve. She teased her mercilessly until Michael shot his load into her overly-sensitized pussy.

Kat then pulled her up by her hair and began whispering in her ear, occasionally listening for a response. Michael didn't know what the two talked about, but by the end of it Sun Mi's face pinballed between determined and resigned. "Now the real fun begins," Kat announced. Stacey appeared with a strap-on, Aki was next to her holding a pair of nipple clamps, Aurora was eager to feel her mouth, Rin held a large vibrating wand, and Dejah was rubbing a crop between the folds of her pussy. Michael chuckled and sat back to watch the show.

Sun Mi had just passed out for the second time when his eyes unfocused momentarily and he called out, "Don't bother reviving her, we've gotta go." At their questioning/petulant glances, he grinned. "Kim's having the baby." Shrieks of delight and surprise echoed around the room and the girls began packing things up and getting dressed hurriedly.

The group ran along the corridor that led to the medical center. Michael saw that down at the end James was beckoning to them and waving towards a hatch. As they approached, he made to say something and was promptly batted aside as the rabid harpies dashed past. When Michael reached him, he asked why he was waiting outside. James explained that the staff wouldn't allow him in.

Michael looked at him, then at the door. "And the girls?" he asked, confused.

James gave a snort. "They told the nurse to go fuck herself..." he replied, trying unsuccessfully to hide a smile.

Michael chuckled at that. He talked with Kat mentally and got an update on the situation. The two men moved a little ways off and sat on a couch, both lost in thought. Suddenly, his hand shot out and smacked James upside the head. "What was that for?" the commander of his pilots exclaimed, rubbing the back of his head.

Michael shrugged. "There were Asians in the group," he told him. "I've had to endure that from Rin nearly every day for awhile now when I've screwed something up... I just figured I shouldn't be the only one getting abused."

Shaking his head in confusion, James admitted, "Still not getting any clearer." Talking to Michael was like that... It wasn't just that he was smarter than you and would be analyzing the conclusion while you were still trying to form the question, James also knew he could communicate with his girls and with Pandora in his head. He'd often be monitoring another issue while conversing with you in person. No one was going to call him on it though... Hell, knowing him, he probably knew that what he was doing was rude and simply didn't care.

"Rin's been educat- well, reeducating me on Asian cultural etiquette now that we have a Korean joining the group," Michael explained. "Apparently it's a big taboo to call someone over like we do in the States... They think it's how you call to a dog."

James paused, trying to process this. "Not unless the dog you're calling is the size of a fucking moose..." he finally said. "Wait, so how 'are' you supposed to beckon someone?" Michael demonstrated by making fluttering motions with his hand palm-down by his knee. James nodded. "Ah yes, so how we would normally call to a dog in America. That makes sense..."

Michael shrugged and James said, "You know, while we're on the subject of global unity and all that crap, do you realize you're organizing a Christmas party for a crew of which nearly a third aren't Christian? How exactly are you going to handle that?"

"Well, leaving aside the fact that Aki is the one organizing it and that the festival actually predates Christianity, I'll tell them the same thing I told the folks who asked me not to serve pork at the luau, this isn't a democracy and they're not required to participate," Michael responded. "New Years is right around the corner, they'll live."

James sighed. "That might work for awhile, but eventually folks are going to start speaking out," he told Michael. He threw him a smirk and commented, "I heard how you chewed out that guy for kneeling down and praying in the middle of a corridor. And after he was so flustered that he didn't know which direction to face, too..."

Michael waved that off. "That's nothing," he said, "worst thing that happens in his case is someone trips over him. Some of the aliens that are coming aboard have some truly weird ass customs. Like, we're going to have to assign people to watch them so that they don't start ritual sacrifices before a battle or eat their newborns if they don't make a sound at the right time."

James shook his head. Just then, the hatch to the sectioned-off portion of the med bay opened and they heard loud voices arguing with each other. Stacey poked her head out and waved them in. James went from joking around to concerned and nervous in no seconds flat. Michael followed the worried man into the room and saw Kimberly on the bed yelling at the nurse.

She had grabbed hold of her collar and was shouting, "I don't care what your policy is, this baby isn't coming out until you get Merrick in here!" With that, she shoved the poor woman backwards with such force that she would have stumbled across the room if Aurora hadn't been there to steady her. James rushed to her side and the relieved look that crossed Kimberly's face made Rin smile.

She joined Michael and Kat who were leaning against a bulkhead. The three of them laughed at the abject curiosity that shown on Aki's face as she knelt by the bed with wide eyes. Stacey was on the other side of Kimberly holding her hand. Dejah was bouncing Sarah in the corner and the little girl was enjoying the feel her soft mane. The doctor apparently had more sense than the nurses and simply ignored the girls, softly giving instructions to Kimberly.

Michael was surprised when Kimberly burst into tears. James, who was just as out of his depth, placed a hand on her shoulder and asked, "Wh-What's wrong? Does it hurt?"

Kimberly hiccupped and shook her head. "God no," she finally said. "I don't know what kind of juice they use here, but I can't feel a thing."

"Then --err, wha..." James was at a loss as to what to say as Kimberly was racked by another round of tears as she clutched his hand desperately and moaned in despair.

At Michael's confused grunt, Kat rolled her eyes and muttered, "Men..." In their heads, she explained, 'She's obviously emotional about having another baby without her husband. She feels guilty that she loves James and is struggling with her sense of loyalty. At the same time, she's afraid that if she just comes out and tells him she loves him, he'll reject her.'

Michael blinked. 'Oh yes,' he agreed tonelessly, 'obviously...'

She frowned at him. 'With all the emotional women in your life,' she mused, 'you'd think you'd be better at recognizing these things.'

'No practice,' he pointed out instantly, grinning at her. 'I have you to explain everything for me.' * * * * *

Kimberly sat up in the bed, staring down at her beautiful baby boy swathed in blue cloth. The girls who'd given her so much support had left along with the man who'd brought her here. Sarah had fallen asleep beside her and James was staring down at the three of them with what could only be described as loving adoration.

He took a finger and brushed the fuzz atop the sleeping baby's head. "What are you going to name him?" he asked quietly.

His finger froze, as did his entire frame, when she answered, "I was thinking about James." He pulled back his hand and slowly drew in a shuddering breath.

"Kim," he choked out, "I was wondering if you'd mind if I spent more time with you and the kids. I'd like to do what I can to take care of you and I-"

"Reaper," Kim interrupted him, "shut up and kiss me." So stunned was he by this pronouncement that it took a few seconds to register. When it finally did, he looked up into her eyes with such hope that Kimberly couldn't help the laugh that escaped her lips. The kiss they shared was eager and full of promise. It left them both wanting more and did nothing to soothe the feelings and emotions that had finally been uncapped and were now spilling out.

When they both pulled away, breathless, they were startled to see Sarah awake and watching them with hooded eyes. A bit sheepishly, Kim made to open her mouth --though she had no idea how to explain this- when Sarah sighed and said in a voice beyond her years, "Well, it's about time..." Getting up off the bed, she took her new baby brother in her arms and walked out of the room, leaving the two adults speechless.

When at last they had recovered, James hugged her and whispered, "I think you should name him after his father." Kim's head shot up and she stared at him as her eyes blurred with tears. James kissed her tears away and said, "We'll always remember him and I'd like to think that if that boy grows up to be half the man 'ol Skulldog was, the universe will be a much better place." She sniffed and cried and they both held each other for a long while.

Kimberly wasn't in any condition to have sex and James didn't bring it up, knowing she'd be exhausted. And if he was being honest with himself, he was a little bit concerned with how fast they were moving. Neither of them had realized how close they had become through her husband and his best friend.

It had never occurred to them to be anything more than friends when he'd been alive, but now... It was like an invisible force had pulled them together like magnets, first to share their grief, and then to help each other heal. He climbed into the bed beside her and they simply spooned until sleep finally fell over them.

* * * * *

Sun Mi was awoken by the bustling movements and voices she heard outside the room. She just lay there for a minute, trying to orient herself. For the first time, she was able to observe her surroundings by the light peeking in through the covered window on the far side of the room. Sore and naked, she got up and stumbled towards it, pulling back the blinds. She was impressed with the view she had of the lake. At a guess, she estimated that she was maybe twelve floors up in one of the buildings in the mountainside.

In the distance, she could make out that the Intrepid was lowered to the water and a grandstand that people were just starting to fill was set up around a flat, level area facing it. Sun Mi was startled to see a number of shuttles and vehicles were parked behind it, with more pulling up by the minute. Some of them even sported the flag of the Council of Terra. 'Looks as if Michael decided to cut them some slack by not breaking the news about this facility at the last minute, right before they left,' she surmised.

At the thought of Michael, the night before started replaying in her head and she felt a twinge between her legs despite herself. She also felt a good deal of anger, but also confusion and acceptance. It certainly hadn't been the torture she'd expected, but under the circumstances, it had been more than she'd had any right to ask for. She shivered as she remembered Kat's words. She sighed and checked the dresser, thankful to find a change of clothes since her dress had been shredded.

Poking her head out the door, Sun Mi saw she was indeed in a hotel and various doors along the hallway opened and closed as the crew of the Intrepid moved around in various states of readiness. She didn't know what was going on at this ungodly hour, but from what she'd seen outside, it was something big. Belatedly, she wondered where Michael and the girls had run off to.
