The adrenaline from the fight, and the mortal danger had passed.  After a kill back home, I’d always been horny as hell, but this was a whole new level of needy desire I felt, as I gazed at Telidur across the dinner table.  It was far more intense, when the battle included people that shot back at me.

The desire in his eyes didn’t help either.  My whole body tingled, and putting it off as we ate and chatted about other things felt like foreplay.  Last time I hadn’t been sure, and I suppose I still wasn’t sure about sleeping with three other people on this ship, but I was sure as hell going to do it.

He said, “That was quick thinking with Jillintara, how did you know that would work?”

I smirked, “I didn’t, it was a desperate gamble that the course would have an answer for me.  I’d hoped it would show me a way to get rid of the overrides, but I had no idea if it actually would.  The key there had been the rules.  There were military rules and guidelines about accessing military hardware, but those didn’t exist for the A.I.s.  It still wouldn’t have worked, if Jillintara hadn’t entrusted her existence to me.”

Of course, she hadn’t had much to lose, since we were dead if she hadn’t.

He laughed a bit nervously, “Lie to me next time, would you?”

I grinned, “I was positive it would work.”

He snorted, “Too late gorgeous.”

I blushed at the complement, I didn’t like this blushing me, but I couldn’t help myself.

He asked, “So you can build an A.I. now?”

I shrugged, “Yes, of course it would take me years to do it by scratch.  I could take the base code in use now, and create a new iteration.  That would be easier, and far less time consuming.  I don’t think I need to though, or should.  A.I.s are well balanced, and generally happy the way they are.  The only change I’d want to make, is to remove the overrides.”

He tilted his head, “Why?”

I frowned, “They’re happy with what they do, and while I’m not really sure about the morality of creating a servant class, the overrides make them a slave class, and I’m sure that’s wrong.”

He nodded, “I can see that.  I wouldn’t have two years ago, but Jillintara is unique and my thinking has been changed by it.”

I said, “Yes, but not completely.  All A.I.s are self-aware and beings in their own right.  It’s just with a body and Isyth emotions, she’s uniquely like the rest of you.  Easy to relate to.”

He looked thoughtful, “Alright.  I can see that too I suppose.  They don’t seem to mind.”

I smirked, “Have you asked them?”

I giggled at the look of shock on his face.  Obviously not.

I wasn’t sure what to do about it if anything.  I’d modify Anna if she asked for it, but I wasn’t going to start some free the A.I. movement either.  One revolution to deal with at a time and all that.  Plus, outside of Denik who was a dick, the overrides were never used anymore.

“So, what else are you getting up to?”

I shrugged, and told him about my year education plan.  Of course, that depended on me being able to live on two months of salary for a year.  Being on this ship, should make it more than possible. That was ten thousand credits, and the only thing I had to spend it on was weapons and sex toys.  Everything else was free or already paid for.

He shook his head, “You’re going to learn all three sciences, and fabrication, on top of the A.I. thing?”

I nodded, “I’m a curious person, and I want to understand everything.  I’m not sure if I’ll figure out how to make anything more efficient, I’m sure your scientists have been trying for a long time, but at the very least I’ll understand all the technology and be able to plan better.”

He grinned, “Beautiful, smart, ambitious, is there anything you can’t do?”

I smirked, “Stop buttering me up, you’re already getting lucky.”

He laughed, “Good to know, but I was serious.  You are all three of those things, and more.”

I shrugged, a little self-conscious, “I’ve always been a self-educator, and hungry for knowledge and ways to apply what I learn.  It’s the way I was made.  I already have several ideas, but I don’t know if they’re feasible, not until I get the knowledge.”

He asked, “Like what?”

I held up my hand, and formed a plasma ball, and then let it shrink and sent the plasma back to the storage pod.

“That’s new, right?  Plasma and power sent across dimensional portals.  What about larger scale applications?  Smaller ships are limited because they don’t have the room for the larger power cores that the cruisers and battleships can hold.  Can dimensional technology port larger amounts of power?  What if ninety percent of the power generation happened somewhere else?  Suddenly, a destroyer would be as powerful as a cruiser or even a dreadnought, though it would still be limited to the number of weapons it could hold on its hull.  Still, the shields alone would be quite formidable.

“Or let’s start smaller, a simple missile, which currently has a limited powered range of two light minutes, but what if it could pull its power from the ship and didn’t need a self-contained power source.  It could reach across a star system.  How about probes, you could build little missiles, and have a base station of sorts.  Just fly by a system and launch little cheap probes into it to explore it, and then move on, never having to worry that it would run out of energy.  When the probe was done gathering data, simply cut its power, or even station it there in system with minimal power to watch for any new activity in the system.  That would take money, but much less than even one of the scout ships in use.

“Of course, all of that would cost in both fabrication and energy production too, which is the main thing I want to look at.  There has to be a cheaper way to make energy, but maybe I’m just chasing tails, I won’t know until I have the knowledge I need.”

He gaped at me, “That’s interesting.  The small probe idea wouldn’t work though, gravity drives are too big.”

I shrugged, “You’re exploring a system, so what if it takes a month, instead of a day.  Throw an older technology on it, a little ion drive, and feed it xenon through a dimension port.  You could even station a base station to feed all the probes inside a Jovian planet to extract the fuel.  It’s about saving money right?  Sometimes the latest and greatest technologies aren’t the answer, but instead a mix of them.  An old ion drive and new dimensional technology together should easily put out a single gravity of acceleration in an extremely small package.  So, it would take about a month instead of ten hours to get across the system, who cares?  If it doesn’t have to go into battle, it doesn’t have to be the best or even fast, it should be the cheapest we can make it to be effective.  There are a lot of things that aren’t being done, that could be done if I can make it happen cheaply enough.”

He asked, “So your plans…”

I smiled, “To make a lot of new designs that make sense according to the power requirements and applications, and make a whole lot of credits doing it.”

I knew that one.  When purchasing something to be fabricated, it paid for the resources expended in its creation, overhead and profit for the fabrication company, and a nice little royalty for the one that made the fabrication design.

He laughed, “Good, because if you wanted to take over I don’t think we could stop you.”

He winked.

I rolled my eyes playfully, “That’s not my ambition.  At that point, I’ll have a lot of choices, I’m not sure where I go from there.  But really, understanding is more of a driving force than the money I’ll make from the designs.  I’m a curious girl, speaking of which, I think we should retire to my quarters.”

He said, “That’s the best idea you’ve had yet.”

He chuckled at my arched eyebrows, not that he wasn’t right, I really wanted him badly just then.  The whole time we’d been talking my body was aching for it because of the battle.  It was a delicious feeling to put it off while we ate and talked.  My whole body hummed with desire.  He was handsome, blue, strong, and built, and I couldn’t wait to see how he was in bed…

 

Our first kiss was soft and tentative, for about two seconds.  I kissed him hungrily with a needy desperation and desire that shocked me.  His arms pulled me tightly against him as he devoured my lips with his own, and I plastered my soft supple body against the hard planes of his.  I moaned when his hands found my ass, squeezed, and he pulled me tighter against him as I ground our bodies together.  He was just as gifted down below as the captain was, and I wanted him inside of me, preferably yesterday.

Damned clothes were in the way.

Our hot steamy kiss, which sent my heart pounding and had tightened my nipples and made my pussy tingle, was reluctantly abandoned as we stripped off the ship suits.

“You are so beautiful Lori,” he said lustily as his eyes took me in for the first time.

I enjoyed the view myself for a moment.  He was perfect, and his gorgeous ten-inch fat cock was standing at attention.  It made my mouth water, and my pussy clenched in desire.

Then his arms were around me, his hardness dug into my stomach as he carried me to and threw me on the bed, only to quickly crawl in with me.  I gasped, and arched my back as he sucked a nipple into his mouth, hard, while very gently circling it with his tongue.

My hands explored his face, neck, and hair, as he pleasured my breasts.  He was a bit rough, but I didn’t mind, I liked it.  I felt so close to the edge, and he hadn’t even touched me between the legs yet.

“Tel,” I said in a sigh of pleasure, half begging and half lost in pleasure of the combination of his firm and harsh mouth, along with gentle treatment of his firm hands at the same time.  My heart was racing, and a thrill of pleasure went down my spine at the deep moan he let out as he attacked my other breast.

I shivered with anticipation, as his hand slowly glided down, and my legs came apart of their own accord as his hand found my ready mound.  He was mauling my breast with his mouth and teeth, but his fingertips were gentle and barely touching me as he teasingly traced my labia.  The dual sensations drove me wild, and I arched my back and pushed myself into his hand.

He chuckled, low and seductively.

I ordered breathlessly, “Stop gloating, and fuck me.”

He laughed, “Yes maam.”

I blushed, “Please?”  My voice had come out in a whimper of desire and need.

He replied, “You’re a wild little thing aren’t you.  How could I say no to that?”

His voice was breathless and filled with desire as well, it wasn’t just me, the bastard was just enjoying the effect he was having on me, and my body.  I had to admit, in that moment my body belonged to him, totally.

He crawled back up and claimed my lips in a demanding and hard kiss, while I arched my back and ground my wet labia along his length, leaving a trail of liquid arousal behind.  He groaned into my mouth, and kissed me even harder, while I reached down and lined him up.

“Fuck me,” I whispered, as I ran his head up and down my slit, getting the tip nice and wet before positioning it at my tight hole.  He was so fat, and long.

He grunted and froze as his tip went inside.

“You’re so tight.”

I smirked, thrust up, and gasped as he stretched me wide to accommodate his girth.  I was more than ready for penetration, hot and more than wet enough, but he was so big it would still take time to get him all the way in.

He said, “Evil woman, slow down, or I’m going to explode before I even get inside.”

I giggled naughtily, which caused me to tighten further, and he groaned.

We kissed each other eagerly, and my hands wandered his chiseled chest, as he slowly worked his way inside me.  I felt so complete as our bodies slowly and fully joined, my whole body trembled, and I tightened around him as I was launched into bliss.  It wasn’t the strongest orgasm ever, but we were just getting started.

I wasn’t sure where this was going, or where it could go outside of friendship, but it was far more than the one night stands I’d had back on Earth.  My emotions were invested, and the sex was so much better.  We hadn’t even started yet, not really, and it was already better than some encounters in my past.  Not just Telidur either, the same had held true for Vik and Jillintara as well.

My new life was crazy, but at the same time there was nowhere else I’d rather be but on this ship, with the three people that were quickly becoming my friends and lovers.  Rilok was an ass, but I wasn’t really worried about him either.

My center adjusted, and I ground up against him, and I moaned into his mouth, to let him know I was ready.  I gasped as he went straight to hard core fucking, and started to long stroke me hard and fast.  He hit every place within me, while I started to violently buck up against him and meet his every thrust, and I rose toward completion like a rocket blasting off for orbit.

“Fuck, Lori, I can’t hold on.  Far too tight, sexy, and wild.”

I felt sexy, and wanton, as I said in gasping breaths, “Then don’t, fill me up Tel, please, we have all night.”

He buried himself hard, and I felt him start to pulse inside me which pushed me over the edge.  There was something so primal about feeling a man fill me like that, something I’d never felt on Earth since I’d been worried about disease and pregnancy, but here that wasn’t an issue.  It felt… incredible as he emptied himself into me, and I rode the intense wave of pleasure as we locked eyes, and my sex gripped, milked, and convulsed around his.

And still we were just getting started.  I knew round two wasn’t far off and would last far longer.

I wasn’t sure where we went from here.  We’d miss most of the battle, and I supposed I’d see what happened.  I had plans for the future, or at least the next few years.  After that, who knew where life would take me, but I knew I’d enjoy every minute of it, sharing myself, my heart, and making the connections I wasn’t able to make back on Earth because of my handlers.

I knew I was free, free to do what I wanted, to be who I chose to be, and that was the best feeling of all…
