Three Square Meals Ch. 012

Calara rose from her chair, and John enfolded her in his arms protectively. They stood for a long while and he held her reassuringly as she leaned against him, stroking her lustrous brown hair comfortingly.

"I'm sorry," the lovely brunette apologised, as she wiped a few rogue tears from her eyes, feeling embarrassed.

"You have nothing to apologise for, honey. Let's talk about something less painful instead," he suggested caringly.

"No, I'm ok," Calara insisted. "Besides, this is important. I think I might have found where the pirate attacks are coming from."

John released her from his embrace, and the beautiful Latina walked back to her console and hit a few more buttons. "If you look here, here, and here," she said, circling the areas that had been attacked on her map in a bright green, "the pirates seem to be hitting three main shipping lanes."

"I've been studying the dates and times of each attack, and compared the ships' logs from the victims and it looks like the pirates are operating several fleets, and are using this system as a base," Calara said, and then pressed a couple more buttons so that the system map moved to focus on a star called Chendar.

"This is excellent work Lieutenant!" John said genuinely impressed, as he fell naturally back into military parlance with the girl.

"Thank you, Sir!" Calara said, proud to have pleased her commanding officer.

John studied the system map closely, noting that there were two Gas giants, several smaller planetoids, and an asteroid belt orbiting Chendar. He noticed amongst the installations listed in the system, that one of the Gas giants was host to an abandoned Gas mining facility. This wasn't uncommon, as mining bases were commonly stripped and deserted when the resources they were mining were fully tapped out.

"If I was a pirate, that abandoned facility would make a hell of a good base," John mused.

Calara looked up at him with newfound respect. "Very impressive Commander! I came to the same conclusion, but it's taken me a few days to put it all together."

"Perhaps I missed my vocation as a pirate?" he asked, as he smiled at her graciously.

"Or found it as a Pirate hunter," she replied firmly.

John nodded his agreement. This had been a surprising conversation in a few different ways, but mainly he was concerned that Calara seemed to be obsessed with the pirate attacks that had had such a dramatic impact on her life. It was perfectly understandable for her to react this way, but she seemed so happy and content when she was with him over the last few weeks, that he had hoped she had managed to put it all behind her. Clearly she had not, but perhaps some payback might help her, he wondered.

"I think it might be time to stamp out these cockroaches once and for all. What do you say Lieutenant? Time for some summary justice?" he asked her grimly.

"Yes Commander..." Calara said. "Well past time."

They stood for a moment studying the map, and thinking about all the implications finding this base might have.

The elevator swished open quietly and as if on cue, Alyssa and Sparks entered the bridge.

"Wow! You two look very heroic!" Alyssa grinned playfully. "I feel like there should be dramatic music playing in the background. What did we miss?"

"Calara found the pirate base. I think we should take a little detour and see if we can do something about it," he said ominously.

"I'll lay in a new course immediately!" Alyssa stated, as she bounded up the illuminated steps to the Executive Officer's chair. Her hands glided over her console and she began to adjust their current course to divert towards the Chendar System.

"We'll be there in just over three days, John," she stated, as the hologram in the centre of the bridge showed her new course plotted in green with an ETA of three days five hours.

"Nice work, Alyssa," John said simply, before turning back to Calara.

"I promised Sparks I'd finish her tour of the ship, do you want to come along too?" he asked, concerned about leaving the troubled Latina for too much time on her own.

"No, I'm ok here, I want to prepare for our assault," Calara said, with a steely look of determination in her eyes.

John was about to try to persuade her to come with them, but Alyssa interjected. "You two go ahead, I want to stay and discuss our tactics with Calara anyway," she said, waving them away. Being permanently tuned into John's mind meant that Alyssa had overheard his thoughts, and was aware of his concerns for their troubled young lover.

Picking up the look the beautiful blonde gave him, John felt reassured, as he knew Alyssa would take excellent care of Calara.

"Ready to go for another wander, Sparks?" he asked the redhead, who sensed that something else was going on, but wasn't sure what.

She nodded agreeably and followed him into the elevator and the two of them headed downwards. John could see that Sparks was dying to ask about the conversation on the bridge, so he filled her in on how they had rescued Calara and the trauma that she had experienced at the hands of the pirates.

Sparks nodded her head shrewdly. "This whole assault on the pirates is purely for her benefit isn't it?" she asked John pointedly.

"Yes," he replied simply. "I don't like pirates and something needs to be done about them, but with everything Calara has put together, we could just report back to Terran Federation Command. They would send out a fleet to mop up the whole pirate operation."

"You think she needs the closure that a personal intervention will bring though, right?" Sparks persisted.

"Yes, I'm hoping it will help Calara put this behind her," John said, narrowing his eyes as he glanced over at Sparks. "You are a smart one, aren't you?"

The redhead smiled up at him, blushing slightly.

"It could be dangerous," John warned her. "The Invictus is bound to be much more powerful than any individual ship they have, but they have multiple fleets, and we could end up being heavily outnumbered."

He looked at her closely. "If you're worried about safety, we don't have to commit to this attack."

Sparks shook her head vehemently. "No, I'm all for it. I've dealt with enough scum to know that some people just don't deserve to live."

She paused and studied his face closely, and said, "You're a good man John. You really care about those girls, don't you?"

"I love them both very much," he answered honestly, "and I'm getting quite fond of you too!" he said, whisking her up in a hug.

Sparks laughed happily and wrapped her arms around him. "Look at me, I'm acting like some giddy schoolgirl!" she said, grinning in disbelief at him.

"A very naughty schoolgirl" John smiled at her, gently patting her still rounded tummy.

Sparks laughed aloud at that, her unscarred cheek blushing prettily.

"Come on," John said. "If we keep talking like this, I'll never be able to show you the rest of the ship!"

"Yes, going on our past experiences, you'd probably have to roll me back to our quarters," Sparks grinned as John snorted with laughter.

They eventually managed to keep a lid on the banter enough so that he could continue their tour of the Invictus. He showed her around the dozens of rooms that housed all the vital machinery that kept the ship running; Life support, environmental systems, sensors, fuel control, he found all of them fairly dull, but for Sparks these were the highlight of the tour so far. She was fascinated by the automation of all the ships systems, and kept asking him detailed technical questions that were quite beyond him.

In the end he promised Sparks the Holo-reader that Vice Admiral Charles Harris had given them back at Olympus shipyard. It would helpfully provide detailed documentation on the ship's functions, so it would be invaluable to her in learning about the Invictus. Sparks was literally jumping up and down with excitement at the thought of getting her hands on the Holo-reader.

The teenager was impressed by the ship's magazine, and she seemed fascinated by the concept of the Mass Drivers, and the two hundred metre long magnetic rails that accelerated the enormous shells to Hyper-warp. Explaining how the weapons worked got John and Sparks talking about ways they could upgrade the main guns. She suggested two possible options, improving the power of the magnetic rails, and improving the explosive yield on the shells. It was an interesting conversation, and got John thinking about Alien species that might be able to assist with either.

Finally they entered the Engine Room and FTL Drive Room. Sparks wandered around these in awe, enraptured first by the enormous energy harnessed in the ship's power core and then by the bewildering sophistication of the FTL drive system. John watched her as the petite redhead studied the controls for the power core intently. He could see that she was desperate to touch and investigate, but was managing to hold her curiosity in check through iron will power.

Eventually he managed to lure her away with promises of the Holo-reader and that she could spend all her free time studying it and any of the ships systems she liked. They headed back to the ship's elevator and hit the button to go up to the command deck.

"Thanks for the tour John, that was amazing!" Sparks said, sighing happily.

"This is your home now, I want you to feel settled here," John replied earnestly, which prompted the petite redhead to reward him with a big hug.

The elevator chimed and the door swished open quietly, leading out on to the bridge.

Alyssa spun the XO chair around to face them. "You two look like you've had fun," she said, smiling happily.

Sparks grinned back at her. "I had the best time! The Invictus is incredible!" she gushed enthusiastically.

"Do you have the holo-reader Alyssa?" John asked. "Sparks wanted it to learn more about the ship"

Alyssa turned and picked up the Holo-reader from the tucked away locker by her console. She walked down the illuminated steps like a graceful model descending from a catwalk.

"Here you go Sparks," she said, and smiled as Sparks took it out of her hands and held the Holo-reader as though it were a priceless artefact.

"I'll activate the Engineering Station for you," The beautiful blonde said as she walked back up to the XO's chair.

She sat down and then her hands danced over the console as she activated the Station for the Chief Engineer. The Engineering Station on the left hand side of the room, opposite Tactical, sprung into life. Like before, the panels on the consoles activated one at a time, gradually illuminating the station fully.

John climbed the command podium and took his seat in the Commanders chair. He watched with an amused smile as Sparks walked over and tentatively sat at her new place on the bridge.

Sparks looked around wide-eyed at the panels of controls, feeling growing excitement at being able to manipulate and control something as awesomely powerful as the Invictus. Setting the Holo reader down on the console, she quickly scanned through the instructions regarding the Engineering station and clicked a number of buttons on one of the panels. A series of holograms materialised around her, showing the energy distribution from the power core, the ship's shield status and finally damage control, which depicted the Invictus all shaded in green. She spun her chair to look up at the command podium and saw that Calara, Alyssa and John were all watching her.

"Engineering online," she said, grinning at them excitedly.

"Glad to have you aboard Chief," John grinned back at her.

Alyssa and Calara cheered for the young woman, enjoying seeing her having so much fun.

"Come on ladies, let's go have dinner and celebrate," John said to the girls.

Alyssa and Calara stood eagerly to join him, but Sparks rose reluctantly, looking back longingly at the Holo-reader as she walked up to join up with them.

"Come on, it'll still be there later," John said as he laughed at her hesitation.

The group got in the elevator and went down to the next level. The elevator chimed and the door swished open. John began to move right to show Sparks the officer's quarters, but they were stopped by Alyssa who placed her hands lightly on each of their chests, halting them in their tracks.

"Calara and I will go and make dinner. You two have other business to attend too first," she said smiling wickedly.

John glanced over at Sparks, expecting her to be blushing with embarrassment, but she was biting her lower lip excitedly. The redhead glanced his way as well and the look she shared with him had him rock hard in no time.

"We'll join you later," He said to Alyssa and Calara, turning to walk briskly towards his quarters, Sparks practically skipping along at his side.

The stunningly beautiful blonde and brunette shared a look themselves, and then smiled coyly at each other.

"Dinner can wait a little while," Alyssa said to the Latina seductively, sashaying towards the playroom.

"I'm hungry for something else anyway," Calara purred in return, her eyes watching the blonde's luscious figure before she gracefully followed in her footsteps.

Meanwhile, John led the way into his bedroom and the two of them stripped off their clothes. Sparks kissed him eagerly and then she jumped up and wrapped her legs around him as he moved to cup her ass cheeks in his hands and he enjoyed their round, firm and compact feel. He moved over to the bed and sat on the edge with Sparks astride him, still enjoying the feel of her bottom as he massaged her buttocks with his hands.

Sparks looked down at him, a lusty fire burning in her eyes. "Alyssa said you like to fuck tight little teenagers in the ass," she said, with heat in her voice.

John separated her cheeks with his strong fingers, causing her to gasp.

"I'll take that as a yes," she hissed. "Do you want to fuck me in the ass?" she asked him accusingly.

"I'd push my way into you, right up to my balls and then pound you hard until you begged for mercy," John promised, as he moved the teen up and down his groin, her pussy sliding wetly along his thick throbbing shaft.

"I've never taken a man there before. You'd do that to a poor little virgin?" she said feigning distress.

"Yes, but only because you'd love it," John grunted.

Sparks moaned and looked down at him, nodding slowly and deliberately. John took one of his hands from her buttocks and brought it up to her mouth, where she began to suck on one of his fingers suggestively.

"You know where I'm going to put this, don't you?" he said sternly, as he looked into her eyes.

Sparks looked back at him, her eyes heavy lidded as she sucked lustily on his finger and nodded imperceptibly. When his finger was nice and slick, he moved it down between her buttocks and began to gently circle her rosebud, getting her slippery and pliant. She gasped when he began to apply pressure, and then groaned when the tip of his finger worked its way into the tight little channel.

John waited a little while and let her get used to the intrusion, while he used his other hand's firm grip on her waist, to rock her back and forth on his cock. Her anus felt hot and incredibly tight as he pushed inside her further as soon as he felt her relax. Sparks groaned as her clit was pressed up against the hot length of his cock, and John used his strong hold on her to slide her body along his shaft, sending tremors through her excited teenage body.

"I want you to cum for me," he ordered her. "The first time with something in your ass," he continued, as he pushed his thick finger in past the second knuckle. He then concentrated on rubbing her clit against him, by moving her hips up and down.

"Unh!" the redhead groaned as her rear passage clamped down on his finger in a vice like grip and she came hard for him.

"That's a good girl," he complimented her. "You follow my orders well."

Sparks could only lean against him and moan into his shoulder, her body unprepared for the intense climax that had washed over her.

"You're much too tight to take me at the moment though," John lamented "We need to feed you up, so that I can fit inside you."

"Yes, that's important," Sparks gasped wholeheartedly, as she writhed in his lap.

John eased his finger out from her body and then holding her around her waist, he lifted her up so that she was standing by the side of the bed, between his parted legs.

"On your knees and get to work," he commanded.

Sparks gasped excitedly and sank to her knees, running her nails along his thighs as she did so. She tilted forward and kissed the end of his angry throbbing cock. She parted her lips and then licked at his head, beckoning him forward into her hot, wet mouth.

John held his shaft in his right hand keeping his cock nice and steady as it jerked involuntarily. He cupped the back of Sparks head with his left hand and then pulled her forward, sliding her down his length until her lips touch his fingers where he had his cock gripped in his fist. He could feel her mouth move as she tried to kiss his hand, but her lips were stretched tight around his girth so they were only able to brush against him. He rewarded her by removing his hand and then pulling her all the way down her length so that her face was nestled in his groin.

Sparks moaned appreciatively around the burgeoning prick forcing her mouth and throat wide open. The vibrations felt amazing around John's cock, and when she started to swallow as well, it felt like her muscles were trying to milk his cock for him. He held her head in place with both hands, and just rocked back and forth with small motions of his hips, as he used her body to stroke his shaft.

Sparks gasped in excitement as she felt John's strong hands hold her head in place. She felt so submissive kneeling in front of him like this and she revelled in him using her mouth to bring himself to climax.

"I'm just his cum bucket!" she thought to herself, her thighs rubbing together as she writhed helplessly under his control.

"I can't do anything except kneel before him, and wait until he unloads in my belly," she groaned as she turned herself on even more just thinking about it.

Finally John's insistent thrusting began to grow more erratic as his breathing became laboured.

"Aahhh!!" he bellowed, as he pushed himself as far as he could go inside the redhead and then began to cum powerfully straight down her throat, and into her waiting tummy.

Sparks felt the wonderfully rich cum shoot down her throat, and splash into her empty stomach. The first couple of thick spurts were enough to fill her slim tummy, and then her waistline was forced to expand to make room for all the following jets of spunk. She drank him down hungrily, eager to suck down every last drop, as John's quad fed her their freshly created treat.

John pulled back until just his head was in her mouth, and with a trembling twitch, John's four balls gave up the last of their cum. Sparks swallowed it down, relishing the sweet taste of the final morsel, as it tingled on her tastebuds. His deflating cock slipped from her mouth and Sparks leaned down to kiss his numbly satiated balls tenderly, as if to say thanks. He held out his hand to help her to her feet and the redhead rose unsteadily to her feet, unbalanced by the turgid weight of her midsection. He put both hands on either side of her hugely engorged abdomen, holding her protectively as he gently kissed her tightly stretched young skin.

Sparks ran her hands gently through John's hair as he cupped her sperm packed abdomen with his hands, and kissed it tenderly. The caring gesture strongly reminded her of a man proudly kissing the belly of an expectant woman, and she suddenly felt a rush of broodiness.

"Fuck! where did that come from?" She thought to herself in shock.
