John wondered what could be the problem. The After Action Report he had submitted to Federation Command last week, had made it pretty clear what had happened aboard the Corvette. He was unsure what kind of trouble the young Latina could be in, as there was certainly nothing in the AAR that implicated her being responsible in any way.
"What kind of trouble?" he asked Alyssa.
"Calara said she was being accused of 'dereliction of duty'. She mentioned something about a possible court martial!" The young woman replied, looking concerned.
John snorted in disbelief. A court martial? That was absurd.
"Is she still on the Vid-feed?" He asked Alyssa.
"Yes. She doesn't know what to do, so I said I'd ask you for your advice" the young girl replied.
John stood and strode out of the room, grabbing a towel to wrap around his waist on the way out. He could see Calara's face on the Vid screen. The black eyes had mostly healed up, but the bridge of her nose was still swollen from where it had been broken, marring her otherwise pretty face. The heavy bags under her eyes told a tale of troubled sleep.
"Don't worry Calara, we'll get this straightened out" He said reassuringly.
Calara looked back at him with frightened eyes "I can't be Court Martialed John! It would destroy my family!" She sobbed.
"It won't come to that. We'll be at Heracles as fast as we can. Call us if there's any more developments" he stated firmly. Calara nodded dejectedly and closed the call.
He turned to look at Alyssa who had watched the brief conversation over his shoulder. "Ok let's get moving, it looks like we haven't finished rescuing her yet!" he smiled.
Alyssa moved in to hug him fiercely "Thank you John, you're a good man" she said sincerely.
John hugged her back before they broke apart to gather up all their belongings. In a matter of hours they had checked out of the hotel, taken a hover-taxi to the planet's star port and boarded the Fool's Gold. They set a course for Olympus and 2 hours later were approaching the bustling shipyard, Terran Federation craft drifting by civilian traffic as they went about their business. The intercom began an insistent buzzing, the flashing light on the console indicating an incoming communication. John pushed a button to answer the call.
"Incoming freighter, please identify yourself and your business at Olympus" a military communications officer requested politely.
"He sounds exactly like the last one!" Alyssa whispered, causing John to chuckle.
"Commander John Blake, requesting clearance to land at the docking bay housing the Invictus" he answered the communications officer formally.
"One moment please Commander" The disembodied voice replied.
After a short pause, the voice came back. "Please proceed to Docking bay 13" it stated, before the communication officer closed the channel.
"Unlucky for some" Alyssa said ominously.
John laughed "You don't believe in those old superstitions do you?" he asked the young girl.
"You can never be too careful!" She replied archly.
Docking bay 13 was part of the dry-dock and was used for retrofitting spacecraft to new designs. This meant they had to circle the huge shipyard to be able to dock from the other side. Their freighter made steady progress and soon they began their final approach to the station. This side of the shipyard saw much less traffic and the damaged spacecraft awaiting repairs looked lonely and forlorn somehow.
"What did that?" Alyssa asked in awe, pointing to the devastated foredeck of a Terran Federation Destroyer as they slowly passed it by. They could see numerous battle scars measuring dozens of metres in length as the hull loomed overhead.
"That's Plasma damage" John explained sadly looking at the charred wreckage."That ship has been fighting the Kintark. They are the only race that use Plasma Cannons".
They left the damaged ship behind and moved on to begin landing manoeuvres at docking bay 13. Alyssa's breath caught when she saw their new vessel and she glanced at John and saw he was similarly spellbound.
The Cruiser was docked in the centre of the gigantic bay. Massive maintenance gantries were slowly backing away from the flanks of the vessel, as though wary of the lethal looking warship. The sleek lines and bristling gun ports clearly identified the ship as a ferocious predator, one that was not to be trifled with. The craft was painted a dark military grey, with soft blue lighting illuminating the name "Invictus" in 20 foot high lettering along the hull.
The Fool's Gold touched down and the tremors shaking through the ship awakened the pair from their reverie. John flashed a wide grin at Alyssa as he stood quickly and offered her his hand to follow. They walked briskly down to the cargo bay of the freighter and John's foot tapped impatiently as he waited for the airlock door to spiral open.
They walked outside before stopping to stand in awe, looking up at the magnificent vessel as it towered above them. At just over 500 metres in length it dwarfed the couple and their comparatively tiny freighter.
"Welcome to your new home" A friendly voice said from behind them. They turned to see Charles Harris had come to greet them at the dock. He walked up and shook John's hand firmly, before turning to smile warmly at Alyssa and shaking her hand too.
He handed John a Holo-reader that displayed the ships schematics in a soothing green hue. The maintenance teams had worked furiously to complete the retrofitting to the tight schedule set by Vice Admiral Harris and from the data on the reader, it looked like everything had been finished on time.
"She's a hell of a ship" Charles sighed, looking behind them at the Cruiser he once captained. "You never forget your first command" he said, smiling wistfully as he turned back to the couple.
"I wish I could come with you on your shakedown voyage, but do get in touch if you run into any problems" he offered helpfully. "What do you want to do with your freighter?" he asked John.
John smiled as he looked back at the ship that had been his home for the last 11 years. "You know, I haven't really thought about it to be honest. Would it be ok to moor her here for a few weeks until I decide?" He asked his old friend.
"Having trouble letting her go?" Charles laughed good naturedly, "I know the feeling!" he grinned. "I'll have her secured nice and safely for you" he offered kindly. He waved them goodbye as he left them to settle in to their new ship.
John and Alyssa worked quickly to transfer their belongings from the Fool's Gold to an anti-grav sled that the maintenance teams had left for their use. John wasn't a hoarder so his belongings mostly consisted of clothing, armour and the contents of his weapon locker. From the information on the Holo-reader, the Invictus had been fully stocked with supplies, so there was no need to transfer the foodstuffs from his meagre kitchen and storage room.
John let Alyssa control the grav sled and she had fun steering the humming platform to the new ship. John turned around to look at the freighter one last time and after glancing over his shoulder to make sure Alyssa wasn't watching, he threw the Fool's Gold a nostalgic salute.
"Thanks for looking after me all those years old girl" he said quietly, before turning to follow his enthusiastic young shipmate.
The door to the docking bay of the Invictus was huge and it yawned open in front of them impressively. It was large enough to comfortably home a decent sized dropship, so the grav sled looked tiny and a bit pathetic parked by itself in the bay. John pushed the button on a wall mounted panel and the external door in the hull began to shut, a force field springing into place to internally seal the huge portal.
The couple walked hand in hand through a sturdy set of doors into an adjacent corridor. They found the waiting elevator, so they entered and John pushed the button to take them up to the command deck. The hum of the elevator filled the room as they rose upwards.
"Has it changed much since you were last here?" Alyssa asked quietly.
"Well there's a lot less people around for one thing" John joked. "This ship used to house 300 rowdy marines and a navy crew of 40. Now there's just the two of us!"
Their conversation was interrupted as the elevator door opened with a smooth whir, ending in a soft click. They walked out of the elevator to look over the Command deck for the first time. John was overcome with memories, staring out across the bridge as he relived events from his past. Meanwhile Alyssa carefully peeled the Holo-reader from his distracted grasp and then went off to explore.
The bridge was shaped in an oval, with the Commander's chair placed centrally on a podium, surrounded by glowing consoles. To the right of the Commander's seat and set slightly lower down, was a similar configuration set up for the Executive Officer. Numerous other stations were placed at regular intervals around the room, but they were all left dark, automation replacing the crewmen who would have operated them.
Alyssa followed the brightly lit steps that led up to the command podium and settled herself in the XO chair. It felt wonderfully soft and the chair's ergonomics seemed to hug her lovely curves perfectly. She spun the chair happily in a circle, noting that being up here provided an excellent view of the rest of the room. She spotted two doors on opposite sides of the bridge that she hadn't noticed from the elevator and made a mental note to explore them later. Stopping the spin so that she faced the curving consoles in front of her, she placed the Holo-reader on one of the consoles and began to learn how to operate the ship.
John was roused from his memories by an ominous thrum of power as the brand new engines on the Invictus were fired up for the first time. He looked up to see that Alyssa had settled herself in to the XO's position and had begun charting their course to Port Heracles. She pushed a button and their route was displayed in a large holographic display that spun slowly in the centre of the bridge. he climbed the illuminated steps up to the Command chair for a better view.
"Just under 4 days to reach Port Heracles John" Alyssa smiled at him. "This beast is a whole lot faster than your freighter!" she said happily.
John turned to slowly sink into the Commander's chair, feeling its luxurious fabric moulding itself around him comfortably. He had served on this vessel for 10 years and it was proving surprisingly difficult, adjusting to having the right to sit here now. He spun the chair slowly to look back down the steps. He remembered standing down there over 20 years ago and saluting the Ship's Commander for the first time. He had been green and naive then, but full of the eagerness of youth.
Speaking of which, he turned to face Alyssa, watching her as she learned how to operate the ship. She was enthusiastically checking the Holo-reader then pressing buttons on her console, letting out excited squeals when the corresponding systems activated with a hum. Holographic Tactical grids and Galaxy maps sprung into life around them, bathing the bridge in a soothing blue glow.
"Course laid in and all systems look good to go. Just say the word Commander!" Alyssa said, as she saluted him respectfully.
He smiled at her fondly. "Take us out of here XO".
Alyssa grinned at him gleefully and the Invictus lifted smoothly from the floor of the Docking bay. The Cruiser pulled away from the shipyard, overshadowing the damaged destroyer as they passed it by.
"What's behind those doors John?" Alyssa asked curiously.
"That one leads to a briefing room", he said pointing to the door on the right of the elevator.
"That one leads to the Commander's ready room" he said, spinning his chair so he could point at the door on the other side of the room, to the left of the elevator.
"Mmm, sounds intriguing" Alyssa replied. "Is the Commander ready?" she asked teasingly, as she got up and walked towards the door looking coyly over her shoulder.
John laughed heartily. "Your casual disrespect for naval traditions is going to take a bit of getting used to" he said as he followed after her, watching the alluring sway of the beautiful young woman's hips.
She waited for him at the door, letting him lead the way into his ready room for the first time. The room had a big window running the full length of one wall, offering a spectacular view of the shipyard as they departed. At the far end of the room was a big desk and a comfortable looking chair. On their side of the room was a seating area, with several sofa's arranged in a square, a coffee table placed centrally between them.
John took in the Commander's ready room feeling a little overawed. This was his now, but he still found it hard to believe. Alyssa gracefully moved to his side, her hand moving up to caress the back of his neck.
"Don't feel intimidated John" She whispered in his ear. "You just need to stamp your authority on the place. It will feel like home in no time".
He nodded in response, marvelling at how perceptive the lovely young girl was. It felt like she knew exactly what he was thinking. He felt lucky to have met such a wonderful woman who could read him so well and always seemed to say just the right thing.
"So Command-her" Alyssa purred seductively, deliberately mispronouncing his rank."I think it's time we christened this room." She posed for him, arching her back, thrusting out her chest. "How do you want me?" she asked, smiling beguilingly.
John grinned and decided to play along. "As the new Commander, I think the first thing to do is make sure my XO knows her place on board my vessel". He walked over to sit in the chair behind the desk.
Alyssa watched her handsome man take charge. It was intoxicating.
"She's my second in command, but it's important for her to remember that as the person in charge, anything I need comes first" he went on.
"Oh definitely sir, you always get to cum first, whenever you need" Alyssa breathed excitedly as she walked slowly towards him.
"That's very good XO. I think we will have a great working relationship" John nodded agreeably.
Alyssa unzipped her figure hugging jumpsuit and left it crumpled on the floor next to her calf length boots. She sank to her knees in front of him, and licked her lips, her mouth watering.
"If it's ok with the Command-her, I'd like to lighten his load. Help relieve any kind of pressures that might have built up. It must be hard to concentrate on running the ship if you are all backed up" Alyssa purred seductively.
John's eyes flashed with lust. "I'm impressed with your initiative XO. I'm going to enjoy spending many hours stretching you to the limit of your abilities. I think there are lots of ways we can make you grow in this role" John said, as he unbuckled his belt and removed his trousers and boots.
Alyssa could barely contain heself. She loved this kind of playful banter with him and she could tell John was really getting into it. She could feel his excitement level rising to match her own and she was determined to make this one to remember. She leaned forward opening her mouth to take in the broad helm of his shaft, delighting in how her lips had to stretch wide to engulf him completely. A natural instinct wanted to take over and have her suck down his entire length immediately, but she resisted. Instead, she took a deep breath, relaxed and then gradually took his length down her throat, using her lips to pull him inside a few millimetres at a time.
"Ahhhh" John sighed contentedly as the beautiful teenager slowly wrapped her throat around him.
The talented fellatrix massaged his throbbing shaft with her tongue, the velvety wetness dancing over him and allowing him to penetrate her throat more readily. She began to swallow repeatedly, the muscles in her slim neck gripping him tightly and massaging him. It felt like there were half a dozen eager young women jerking him off, all using their hands on him at the same time.
His thoughts drifted back to that moment back on Gravitus when he had been surrounded by the pretty shop girls. One of them had been "checking his neck size", leaning into his back and brushing against him with her soft breasts, as she stroked his neck. Two more were "checking his arm length", feeling his biceps and whispering naughty things in each of his ears. The last three had been kneeling on the ground in front of him, "helping him with the fit of his trousers", their soft hands gliding up and down his legs suggestively as three sets of eyes looked up at him invitingly.
"Oh those naughty bitches" Alyssa thought to herself, only now realising just what they'd been up to. Thinking about all those pretty women all lusting after her man got her extremely turned on and she squeaked in surprise as her thighs clenched together and she came hard.
"Mmmmppphhhaaa" Alyssa moaned around his cock, the vibrations feeling incredible along his length.
John looked down at the young girl deep throating him, as her eyes screwed up tight and she moaned around his shaft. "God, she's just so sexy" he thought, as he remembered seeing Alyssa sharing a lustful look with Rachel, the lovely brunette in the store. The dark haired girl had been on her knees, stroking Alyssa's legs and the sight of those two looking so intimate together had nearly made him cum right there in the boutique!
"Oh fuck! He'd seen that?" Alyssa thought. She could feel his arousal at the thought of her with another woman and she could only suck on him mindlessly as her body reacted with another earth shattering orgasm.
The beautiful blonde teen felt him hold her head in his lap, his gentle but insistent grip moving her mouth up and down his cock. "I'm his little fuck toy" she thought to herself proudly, revelling in the overwhelming feeling of submission as she knelt there, being used for his pleasure. She opened her eyes to look up at him, loving seeing the determined look on his face as he stroked his shaft in and out of the clutching grasp of her throat, bringing himself closer and closer to orgasm.
She could feel him enjoying being so dominant with her, as he moaned loudly with each thrust. Suddenly he pulled back, sliding his engorged, throbbing tool from the tight confines of her body. His plan flashed into her mind and she rolled backwards, supporting her weight with her hands and arching her back for him, her big breasts presenting a perfect target.
John stood, looming over her as he panted heavily and fisted his massive shaft in his right hand. "Do it" she hissed at him, "cover me in your cum!" she urged lustily.
"Aaahhhhhhh!!" John bellowed as his quad lurched and a fountain of cum blasted out over the prostrate teen's heaving breasts. He stroked out long heavy spurts, covering her quivering chest in his spunk, before moving on to unload all over her gorgeous young face. Alyssa opened her mouth wide to present him with another place to aim and she swallowed down big gulps of his delicious seed as he filled her mouth. Her body writhed with ecstasy and she joined him in orgasm.
Finally spent, John collapsed back in his chair and struggled to regain his breath after his exertions. He looked at the teenager through lidded eyes, admiring his handiwork. The girl was lying on her back, liberally glazed in a thick layer of cum. She used one of hands to massage it into her breasts, while she greedily sucked the spunk off the fingers of her other hand.
The two shared a lustful look, grinning slyly at each other.
John recovered and got to his feet. He offered Alyssa his hand, and she rose gracefully to stand in front of him. "Maybe time for a shower?" Alyssa said, smiling up at him as rivulets of cum dripped off her beautiful face and on to her pert breasts.
"Good idea" John laughed and led her to a bathroom in the corner of the room. There was a decent sized shower in there and they had fun making sure Alyssa was nice and clean. They dried themselves off and then cleaned up the mess by his desk. Finally both they and the room were spotless.
Alyssa walked over to the window and stood completely nude, watching the view. John walked up behind and wrapped his arms around her in a warm hug. He rested his chin on her head and she felt loved and protected as they enjoyed the intimacy of their embrace.
"Feel like you've marked your territory now?" Alyssa asked him playfully.
John let out a belly laugh. "You're incredible, do you know that?" he asked her, as he turned her around to face him.
The lovely teen raised herself up on tiptoe and wrapped her arms around his neck before kissing him soundly. "Yes and I'm all yours!" She replied happily.
They separated so they could get dressed and then walked out onto the bridge hand in hand.
"What now?" Alyssa asked.
"How about we check out our bedroom?" John replied. "It's just on the deck below".
The young beauty nodded eagerly and they took the elevator down to the level beneath them. The elevator door opened out into a corridor that led to the officer's quarters.
"The Commander's quarters are the biggest, they're down at the end" said John, pointing down the corridor. "The XO's quarters are at the end on the right".
They walked down the corridor, passing a half dozen doorways. They checked a few of them and found them to all be identically furnished and comfortable. When they got to the end of the corridor, they were in for a surprise.
"That's odd" John said, as they reached the blank wall where the door to the XO's quarters should have been. Shrugging, he turned towards the Commander's room and touched the wall mounted panel next to it, causing the door to swish open quietly. They walked inside and flicked on the lights.
"Wow! this place is amazing!" Alyssa gasped, shocked.
The other officer's rooms had been large and comfortably furnished, but in a minimalistic military sort of a fashion. It was as though they were built to some faceless bureaucrats specification and duplicated thousands of times throughout the fleet.
This room however had obviously been refurbished very recently. It was opulently luxurious in its design, with a magnificent four poster bed dominating the huge room. There were two doors in the right hand wall and the couple took one each. John took the furthest one and found a large and roomy bathroom which featured a big shower and an enormous bath, all beautifully finished.
John heard an excited gasp from his young lover and she poked her head around the door. "John, you have got to see this!" she pleaded. He smiled, nodding and walked back to join her. Alyssa suddenly took notice of the bathroom. "Ohh that bath looks amazing!" she sighed happily before tearing herself away reluctantly.
The excited teenager led him through the adjacent doorway into what was effectively a massive walk-in wardrobe. There were clothes rails along each side with well placed mirrors in the middle that allowed someone to see themselves at all angles. At the end of the room were extensive, wall mounted weapon racks.
John narrowed his eyes, a growing suspicion forming in his mind. Whoever designed all this seemed to know them very well indeed. After looking around for a while, playing with the fixtures and fittings, they walked back into the master bedroom. They were momentarily surprised when the room lights dimmed and a holographic recording sprung into life in front of them. It was Vice Admiral Charles Harris.
"I hope you like the ship John" the distinguished figure smiled amiably. "I'm sure you don't mind, but I took a few liberties with the design of your room. I hope I didn't misjudge your relationship with your Executive Officer, but I suspect I haven't" he grinned mischievously.
"She's lovely John, you deserve someone who makes you happy. Consider this a tiny payback for the big debt I owe you." The older man saluted respectfully. "Thanks John and all the best for the future". The room lights returned to the previous levels and the hologram disappeared.
"Wow, what was that about?" Alyssa asked, her curiosity peaked.
"I saved his life in a bad situation a long time ago. I told him he should forget it" John said, as his hand waved it away.
"Well I'm glad he didn't, he has amazing taste!" Alyssa replied as she ran her hand over the wonderfully soft bed covers.
"I can't wait to be ravished on here later" she smiled at John coyly.
John darted forward scooping her up in his arms, before throwing her on to the middle of the bed. Her musical laughter echoed around the room as he leapt on the bed to join her. She looked up at him giggling happily as he laughed along with her. They kissed and then hugged each other tightly.
Abruptly Alyssa's laughter died and he looked down to see what was wrong.
"I'm worried John" She answered his unspoken question. "I didn't think it was possible to be this happy and now I have so much, I'm worried it might all go away".
The young girl suddenly looked small, scared and vulnerable and John had a flashback to the frightened waif that had stowed away on his ship all those weeks ago. He held her close to him.
"Don't worry honey, this is your life now. It will take a little while to get used to all these changes, but you will. You're allowed to be happy" he said to her reassuringly.
Alyssa looked up at him, her eyes welling with tears "I love you John" she said earnestly.
"I love you too Alyssa" John replied warmly.
They kissed sensuously and lost track of time. Eventually the kissing escalated and they made love tenderly, gently caressing each other with soft touches, as though exploring each other's bodies for the first time. It was a very different coupling to their normal frenzied encounters, but one that bonded them even closer together. They slept for a long time afterwards, their sleep blissfully peaceful and uninterrupted.
The next morning they awoke in each other's arms, John's stomach grumbling angrily. Alyssa looked at him in mock alarm "You poor man, we need to get some breakfast inside you stat! You need to keep your strength up!"
John nodded, agreeing with her sentiments and the two had a quick shower together before getting dressed.
"So where do we eat around here?" She asked.
"Wherever I decide to feed you" John laughed, stroking her toned stomach suggestively.
Alyssa laughed with him "No silly, where do we feed you?" she clarified.
"If I'm not mistaken there should be an officers mess at the other end of that corridor" he said, pointing towards the hall outside their room.
"Well lead on then Commander!" Alyssa joked with him, holding out her hand for him to take.
They walked down the corridor, hands clasped together until they reached a larger set of doors at the other end. John pushed the button on the door and they swished open quietly. The doorway opened out into a large room, filled at their end with comfy sofas and chairs. Long windows flanked the room on each side, with a bar placed strategically on the right hand side of the lounge. Towards the back of the room on the left was a long dining table and the entrance to a kitchen was carefully concealed on the back wall.
The couple worked together to cook up a tasty looking breakfast and John tucked in with gusto, ravenous after his exertions the previous day. Alyssa on the other hand only picked daintily at her plate, trying a bit of each thing they had cooked but only eating a small portion. She watched him eating heartily with a happy smile on her face.
"Not hungry honey?" he asked, his voice filled with concern, as he finished wolfing down his own breakfast.
"I was leaving room for desert" Alyssa explained, before she pushed her chair back and slid under the table out of view. He felt her skilful hands unbuckling his belt and he smiled at her cheeky face as she looked up at him from under the table, grinning mischievously. He helped her shimmy his trousers down then spread his legs wide to make room for her as he slumped back in his chair.
"What a way to start the day" John sighed happily to himself as a few minutes later he fed the beautiful girl her own hearty breakfast. He helped her up again afterwards and she stretched contentedly, her swollen belly packed full of his sperm.
"Ahh that meal was wonderful" she sighed happily, stroking her full tummy. "My compliments to the chef!" she giggled cutely.
Now that they were both satiated, they set about their chores for today. They hauled up all the gear from the Fool's Gold, storing most of it in their walk-in wardrobe. John let Alyssa have one side of the room for her many different outfits. His much more limited selection of clothing took up the first half on the other side. The last section they used to store their combat armour. After that was stowed securely, John began stocking the weapon racks with his small arsenal of equipment.
He stood looking at his collection of armour and weapons, stroking his chin thoughtfully.
"What are you thinking?" Alyssa asked when she saw him looking over the gear.
"Now that I have money to spend, it might be worth getting some upgrades. Rarer, custom gear, that kind of thing" He clarified.
Alyssa nodded, happy to go along with whatever he decided was necessary for their personal security.
"That reminds me" John went on, "there should be an armoury and shooting range near where the barracks used to be. I think they only removed the barracks to make room for the cargo bay. We should go have a look and see what we can find".
"Sounds like a good plan" Alyssa agreed. "I definitely need some more weapons practice!"
"You were great your first time in combat. With a bit more training, you will be an expert marksman in no time!" John said encouragingly.
Alyssa mulled it over and realised this was actually a great opportunity. She could learn to better protect herself and her man and she was suddenly eager to get started.
"I'm done here if you'd like to go have a look now?" Alyssa asked, excited at the planned excursion.
"Sure, let's go!" John replied, eager to look around himself.
They left their room and strolled to the elevator. John hit the button for the level above the cargo bay, which should house the armoury and firing range if his memory served him right. The elevator hummed happily to itself as it dropped to the desired level.
The door opened into a branching network of corridors. They had a look at the other rooms on this level, using John's memory as a guide. The first room they went into was a large, high tech medical bay, with dozens of empty beds.
"An assault cruiser is basically a well armed and armoured troop carrier. You need a large medical bay just in case a mission goes badly" John said soberly.
Alyssa nodded, realising he spoke from experience. They left the sterile medical bay behind, not wanting to linger there longer than they had to. They skipped over the ships Pharmacy, only checking to see that it was fully stocked.
Next John led them to the armoury. This room had the capacity to store gear for 300 marines, but it was no longer sensible to carry that much equipment with the barracks gone. When John had last been in here, the walls had been stacked floor to ceiling with a huge assortment of body armour and weaponry. Now the weapon and armour racks were standing forlorn and empty. The marine munitions team had not bothered to remove the ammunition however, so they found thousands of boxes full of most varieties of caseless ammo.
Finally they entered the firing range. There were half a dozen lanes, with plenty of room to test fire weapons from standing, kneeling or prone. John led Alyssa to the back wall of the firing range and pressed his thumb against the lock on the weapons locker there. The door rolled back to reveal a dozen standard issue assault rifles, several SMGs and around 20 pistols of a variety of calibres. There was enough ammo stored here for weeks of sustained practice.
"Excellent" John said, rubbing his hands together happily. "Ready to get started?" he asked Alyssa.
"Definitely!" Alyssa agreed, excitedly.
John went through safety drills again, going through the lessons he had given her two weeks before. Alyssa began to quote the lessons back at him half way through, repeating his training verbatim with a grin on her face. John listened to her amazed.
"Your memory is incredible! Ok then Miss smarty pants, time for the advanced lessons!" he said, throwing down the gauntlet.
Alyssa was an attentive student, hanging on his every word. They sat together and he went through everything he could think of, from standard and then advanced infantry tactics, to the use of hand signals to allow for silent communication. Several hours flew by as the young woman absorbed as much as she could from his many years of combat experience.
John eventually grew hungry again, so they took a break for lunch, heading back to the officer's mess. John enjoyed a tasty sandwich which he held with one hand, while the other stroked the beautiful blondes head as she bobbed away eagerly between his spread legs. They both felt pleasantly full as they headed back to the firing range.
He decided that Alyssa had studied enough theory for one day and he wanted to build up her practical shooting experience. He handed her one of the standard Assault rifles, explaining the normal operation of the weapon. He began with her firing off single rounds first, getting her used to the kick of the weapon and so that he could adjust the weapon scope accordingly. She proved to be a decent shot, holding her breath and steadying herself before firing and was grouping her hits together nicely.
They fired off a few three round bursts so that Alyssa could get familiar with the extra recoil and improve her accuracy. Finally he had her unload a full clip at a target, letting her experience the barrel climb as she blew through the magazine.
"You did brilliantly today honey" John said to her as they cleaned the rifle before putting it away. "Feel free to come down here and practice whenever you want, you don't need me to supervise you any more".
"Thanks for spending today training me" Alyssa said earnestly. "You're a good teacher" she said, smiling up at him appreciatively.
"You're welcome" he replied, as he tipped an imaginary hat congenially. He offered his hand, and they walked back to the officer's quarters for the night.
The couple awoke early the next morning and were raring to go. After having breakfast together they discussed their plans.
"I think I'll explore the rest of the ship" John said, eager to see what secrets the other decks held.
"If it's ok with you, I'll continue practicing at the fire range" Alyssa proposed, impatient to continue her weapons training.
"That's fine by me honey" John agreed readily. He leaned over to stroke her already full belly "Meet back here for lunch?"
"Mmmm" Alyssa replied, licking her lips lewdly. "I'll look forward to it!"
John spent the next couple of days wandering the ship, visiting every location onboard. There were dozens of rooms dedicated to housing machinery and computers that ran vital ship functions: Life support, environmental systems, sensors, fuel control, the list seemed endless. The engine room, the drive room and the ships magazine were slightly more interesting, but as everything had been automated, there wasn't that much to interact with.
He went to visit the gym and found it had been modified significantly since the days he had served on the ship. Obviously no longer needing to cater to 300 fitness obsessed marines, the huge weights area had been greatly reduced. Dozens of treadmills and other fitness machines had also been stripped out, which meant that the gym was now about a tenth of its original size. In exchange, the freed up space now held a large pool and a Jacuzzi. John enjoyed swimming and was looking forward to showing the new pool area to Alyssa. "Let's just hope the artificial gravity never fails!" He laughed to himself.
Finally he had a good look over the new cargo bay. It replaced a large section of the lower two decks that had previously held the barracks for the marines. The cargo bay was situated to the fore of the ship, the docking bay at the aft. It ran the full width of the Invictus and there were huge hull doors on both sides of the ship that would allow easy loading, or unloading of bulky cargo. The cargo bay was heavily automated, with massive loading arms looming overhead, ready to assist in the movement of cargo around the bay.
Alyssa meanwhile spent the time practicing solidly in the firing range. The first day was spent firing thousands of rounds with the Assault rifle, before her eyes eventually got tired of staring through the scope. She concentrated mainly on firing whilst standing or kneeling, figuring it unlikely that she would be firing whilst prone in most random shootouts they were likely to encounter. Besides, it was a bit uncomfortable lying on her stomach while she was carrying one of John's heavy loads.
By the second day, her accuracy had improved dramatically. She was able to consistently land all the rounds from a three round burst on target, even when firing at the maximum distance capable in the range. She met up for lunch with John and enjoyed hearing about all of his exciting discoveries aboard the ship. He promised to show her a nice surprise in the gym that evening, and she felt herself wondering what it could be while she sucked him encouragingly. He suddenly climaxed and she enthusiastically gulped down his tasty cum.
Immediately after lunch, they called Calara on the Vid-feed to let her know that they'd be with her tomorrow. The young Latina looked relieved that were nearly there and she waved them goodbye with more hope on her face than they had seen in some time.
Alyssa spent the afternoon researching everything she could find on the field of ballistics, before finally heading over to the gym to meet up with John at 6pm. Anticipation for this evening's big reveal had been building all afternoon and she wondered what he had in store for her. John was already there waiting for her when she arrived and she could see he was excited to show her something. She deliberately blocked out any of his thoughts, not wanting to ruin the surprise.
"Good evening Alyssa!" He greeted her eagerly.
"Hey John" she grinned at him, enjoying seeing his uncharacteristic enthusiasm.
"Close your eyes" he said playfully, before leading her into the room as soon as her eyelids had shut.
"Now open them!" he cried and Alyssa could hear the excitement in his voice.
Alyssa opened her eyes, quickly adjusting to the bright lights inside the gym and saw that he had led her to the edge of a large, deep pool. Her face twisted in fear as she backed away carefully.
"What...I don't understand?" John asked, clearly disappointed and concerned by her reaction.
"I... I can't swim" Alyssa stammered, upset at ruining his surprise.
"Oh honey, I'm so sorry I scared you, I didn't know" John said as he moved over to wrap the frightened teenager in a comforting hug.
"I've never seen this much water before" Alyssa said, peeking over his shoulder to watch the pool warily.
"Well I'm a good swimmer, so you're perfectly safe" he reassured her. "Would you like me to teach you how to swim?" he asked tentatively.
Alyssa nodded, looking up at him trustingly.
"Ok, let's take things slowly" He said, smiling. He offered her his hand which she took gladly, but she was startled when he led her out of the gym. They headed back up to their room and he urged her to lie down on the four poster bed and wait for him a moment. John disappeared into the bathroom for a couple of minutes, before coming back to join her. He moved over her on the bed, and cradled her head gently in his strong hands as he kissed her full lips tenderly.
"Ohhh" Alyssa sighed happily, as her mouth responded to the brushes of his lips against hers. They made out for a while, losing themselves in the sensations.
They were roused from their passions by the soft sound of music coming from nearby. John climbed off the bed holding out his hand for Alyssa to follow him and he led her into the bathroom, opening the door to the soft glow of candlelight. Their large bath was filled with water, the surface now covered in soapy bubbles which sparked in the light of the candles surrounding the tub. John smiled warmly at the astonished young woman.
"Sorry I frightened you earlier" he apologised again "I did say we would start slow..." He said, gesturing to the enticing bath.
"Oh John, this is wonderful, thank you!" Alyssa gasped delightedly as she threw herself into his waiting arms.
John swirled her around effortlessly before dropping her back lightly on to her feet. They grinned at each other as they stripped off quickly, clothes discarded in random piles on the bathroom floor. Alyssa managed to get undressed first and she eased herself into the blissfully warm water.
"Ohhhhh god! This feels amazing" She groaned as she slowly sank up to her shoulders in the water, closing her eyes in bliss.
He climbed into the other end of the enormous bath, having plenty of room to sit comfortably, his feet just brushing against hers. They relaxed in the warm soothing water for a while, feeling their troubles float away. Alyssa eventually opened her eyes, to find John watching her enjoying the comforting embrace of the water. She glided through the water towards him, ripples fanning out in her wake.
She slipped her toned legs to either side of his muscular thighs, and slid effortlessly into his arms, plenty of room for them both at this end of the large bath. She sat astride him, her pussy pressed up against his groin and she enjoyed the feeling of his rock hard cock as it throbbed beneath her. She raised herself up higher, looking down at his face as she positioned the pulsing red dome of his engorged shaft at the entrance to her hole.
Her labia were forced wide apart as she moved slowly downwards, the pressure increasing until her slippery lubrications allowed him to slide into her. John circled her narrow waist with his hands, enjoying the feel of her flared hips under his eager fingers.
"Oooh, you're so big" she moaned, as her tight channel was slowly forced wide open. The sensitive ridges inside her pussy were smoothed out as her supple young body was forced to accommodate the massive girth of his pulsating shaft.
They stopped for a moment when she reached the depths of her pussy, the broad headed intruder nudging at her cervix.
"I want all of you" She urged, needing to feel him deep inside her.
John helped her tilt her hips and open her pelvis as she rocked back and forth, letting him inch his way deeper. She held on to his shoulders with her hands, her toned back arched away from him and her held tilted backwards as he pulled her down the full length of his cock. Her lips were parted and she let out a satisfied groan when the tightly stretched entrance to her pussy reached the base of his prick.
"You feel so hot and huge inside me" she said, moving one hand to feel the flexing invader that was pushed deep into her belly, "I feel so full!" she sighed contentedly.
John enjoyed feeling the perfect spheres of her ass settling gently on his fully loaded quad. He was buried up to the balls inside her and the beautiful young woman was writhing on top of him, revelling in the deep penetration. He moved his hands up to stroke and squeeze her big firm breasts, loving the way her slippery, pliant flesh yielded to his touch. His exploring hands brushed the film of bubbles from her tits, enjoying seeing her responsive body react to his touch. Her lovely pink nipples hardened from the contact, pointing upwards on her gravity defying rack.
They began to rock together, gently at first, before getting more vigorous in their sensuous movements. Alyssa enjoyed being on top of him, feeling more in control as she worked her hips back and forth. His strong hold on her body and the support of the water made it easy for her to ride him, impaling herself over and over again.
John lay back, revelling in the sight of the gorgeous teenager gliding up and down his painfully hard cock. Her breasts felt incredible in his eager hands and he massaged her sensitive flesh as she moaned and gasped above him. Water sloshed violently in the tub as they fucked with increasing passion, the bubbly water cascading out of the bath. He was too pre-occupied to care and his hips worked to thrust himself deeper inside her clutching pussy, her fantastically hot body constricting around him rhythmically.
Eventually the sensations became too much to resist and he shoved himself upwards as far as he could, as she ground herself down on the base of his cock. Her taut buttocks trembled against the swollen orbs of his balls and it was the final trigger for him to explode with a rumbling groan. Alyssa joined him in her own climax as she felt powerful spurts of cum shooting into her womb, his engorged shaft jerking inside her.
The well defined muscles of her toned stomach bowed outwards, as her bloated womb was packed full of cum in a relentless surge. She moved one hand from his shoulders to her tummy and savoured the exquisite feeling of being stuffed full of his spunk. She rocked back and forth gently, her pussy coaxing out every last pulse of his seed. John's chaotically spasming balls eventually finished emptying their load and the tension in his body flowed out of him.
"That was awesome" Alyssa sighed contentedly as she lay there resting on him lightly.
John loved seeing the look of sexual satisfaction on his young lovers face and knew he wore a similar look himself. He helped her slide up and free from her impalement and the two gingerly stepped out of the bath.
They expected the bathroom to be totally flooded after their sexual debauchery in the bathtub, but the cleverly designed floor had directed the water away to a carefully concealed drain. Relieved at not having to clean up the mess, they went into the bedroom and collapsed on the luxurious bed. They lay together facing each other and before they knew it, the bed had lulled them into a deep and restful slumber.
John awoke the next day to the delightful sounds and sensations of a warm, wet teenage mouth bobbing energetically on his morning wood. He looked down the bed to see Alyssa's smiling lips stretched wide over his cock. She reluctantly backed up and let him slide from her loving lips.
"Good morning handsome!" She greeted him cheerily.
"Good morning to you too beautiful!" John replied, as his cock throbbed angrily in the tight grip of her hand.
"You looked lovely and hard this morning, so I just had to have a taste" She explained helpfully.
"It was a wonderful way to wake up" John smiled agreeably.
Alyssa rolled over on to her tummy, her rosebud glistened with lube invitingly.
"If it's ok with you, I'd like to have a slim tummy when we meet with Calara later this morning" she said, looking at him over her shoulder. "Besides, we haven't done it this way for a while and I like how doing it like this makes you very naughty!"
John laughed as he moved to cover her smaller body with his own. "Are you saying that the thought of buggering a tight little teen gets me extra excited?"
Alyssa sighed happily, nodding "Yes, that's it exactly".
John slotted himself into position and began to push gently. "How's that baby?" he crooned softly in her ear "not too painful?"
"No, not painful" She gasped, excited. "My muscles aren't designed to work this way, so you forcing your way in feels strange".
"Well you feel lovely and tight to me" he groaned as he pushed in further.
"Mmm" She agreed "That's all that matters after all. Pleasing my man with my body".
She gasped, as John slid smoothly up to the hilt in her ass, her firm round cheeks pressed into his groin. He held still a moment to let Alyssa adjust to the long, thick shaft penetrating her, his huge girth forcing her anus wide open.
"Ohh" She moaned, getting used to the huge intruder in her belly. "So how does it feel to have a tight little teen to use, however and whenever you want?"
"It feels pretty fucking good" John said roughly, as he pulled back and thrust into her again, right up to the quad.
"Unh" she grunted, taking the thrust well. "but you're old enough to be my father" she teased.
John thrust into her more forcefully.
"Unh" she grunted again. "Does that turn you on? Would you like me to call you daddy?" she hissed at him, gripping the bed sheet tightly in her small hands.
"No" he said sternly, as he thrust powerfully into her ass.
"Unh" she grunted again as his balls slapped against her pussy, his broad head driving in deep. "Why not?" She demanded.
"Because one day I want to knock you up and a daddy isn't supposed to want to do that to his little girl" he punctuated his explanation with another powerful drive into her pliant young body.
"Unh!" Alyssa moaned loudly as his groin slapped into her taut ass with a smack. "Ah so that's what you like huh? You want to impregnate hot young women?"
John covered her small hands with his own, holding her in place and he began to bugger her with long rhythmic strokes.
"Unh, unh, unh" Alyssa grunted in time with the powerful fucking. "That's your secret huh? You want a stable of hot teens, their bellies all stuffed full of spunk!"
John was breathing deeply, getting more and more turned on. Alyssa's tightly clutching ass felt impossibly good and the things she was saying...
"Unh, unh, unh" Alyssa panted, her body writhing with lust. "Yeah! A big group of us, all beautiful and all knocked up!" she screamed, as she began to climax.
"Fuck yeah!!" John bellowed, as he ground his hips forward, driving the yielding teen into the mattress. He hunched back and forth, trying to fuck his way deeper into her as a mighty orgasm overwhelmed him.
"Aaaaahhhhhh!" He groaned, as his cum blasted out of his balls to fill up the prostrate teens belly. With his weight firmly pinning her in place, she could only lie there and take it, her gorgeous young tummy rounding out with the heavy spunk he was pumping into her. Alyssa's tight little ass gripped him like a fist, as she convulsed in her own orgasm. Each clutching squeeze seemed designed to coax out as much of his cum as possible.
Finally drained completely dry, he collapsed, trying to keep his weight from squashing the young girl beneath him. He rolled over and slipped out of her, as the exhausted pair panted for breath "Yeah, very naughty" she grinned at him. John could only moan in response.
Alyssa leaned over and kissed him on the forehead as he laboured for breath, before she got up and headed to the bathroom. "I'll see what I can do" she whispered quietly as she left, with a lusty grin on her face.
They relaxed in bed for a while, before getting dressed for the day. John wore his charcoal suit, looking the part of successful business man. Alyssa wore a delightfully tailored jacket and pencil skirt in an identical colour to his suit, that accentuated her shapely curves perfectly . Breakfast was over and done with quickly, with Alyssa eating conventional food for a change.
Holding hands contentedly, they headed back up to the bridge before separating to sit in their corresponding chairs. Timed to perfection, the Invictus dropped out of Hyper warp into the Nerus system, home of Port Cerberus.
"Let's go say hello" John said to his beautiful companion.
Alyssa nodded eagerly and laid in the course that would take them to the space station and their awaiting friend.
