Three Square Meals Ch. 106

Faye looked up at him and said breathlessly, "This was perfect... a magical end to our date."

"It's not over quite yet," he replied, turning and pulling her into a gentle embrace.

He carefully brushed aside her purple hair, then cupped her face in his hands and smiled when he saw the spellbound look in her eyes. Leaning closer he brushed his lips against hers, starting with a light touch until she responded, then kissing her more firmly. He could hear a soft moan deep in her throat, with Faye parting her lips as the kiss grew more passionate.

When they finally separated, her hand went to her lips, fingers brushing them as if in disbelief. "Our first kiss..." she murmured, looking at him in wonder.

"Your lips always looked extremely kissable, but I didn't know you tasted good too," John said, trying to place the flavour. "Cherry?"

"Yes, that's right," she replied, before giving him a wicked grin. "At least until the third date..."

He blinked in surprise, then burst out laughing, whisking her into his arms and spinning her in a circle. Faye's girlish giggles echoed around the crystal room and she hugged him back tightly.

"I should have expected Dana and Alyssa to rub off on you," he said, setting her down on her feet.

She blew a lock of purple hair out the way and stood on tiptoe to kiss him again. "I've watched several hundred hours of you in bed with the girls... I think you've done a fair bit of corrupting me yourself!"

He smiled at her and reached into his pocket. "True enough... and to celebrate your first tentative steps on the path to seduction, I wanted to give you this."

Faye glanced down at the long case and her eyes widened when he unlatched it with a quiet click. It opened lengthways, revealing an exquisite long-stemmed red rose, the petals just starting to unfurl.

"Oh, John..." she murmured in a hushed voice, reaching for the rose with a trembling hand. She lifted it to her delicate nose and inhaled, her eyelashes fluttering at the scent. "It smells divine..."

"Thank you for a wonderful first date, Faye," John said, smiling as she swooned in his arms. "Do you think you'd like to go on another?"

She nodded enthusiastically, her pupils flaring with a mixture of excitement and arousal. "Yes, please!"

He took her arm in his and started to lead her out of the plant. "Maybe next time you'll feel brave enough to tell me what you'd like to wish for..."

Faye blushed furiously, then darted an adoring smile at him. "I just might..."

Alyssa stretched like a cat, then glanced over at Lynette, who was watching her with a coy smile on her face. She grinned at the older woman, then rolled over for a kiss. "Thanks for this afternoon, you were deliciously sexy!"

Lynette laughed and shook her head. "I should be the one thanking you! I've never felt like that before... never!"

"Just a little taste of what's waiting for you, in say... fifty years' time," the blonde replied, caressing the other woman's arm.

This time it was Lynette's turn to stretch and she let out a blissful sigh. "I can't believe how much my life has changed in only a week... I feel like I've died and gone to heaven!"

Alyssa's melodic laughter echoed around the room. "I must have really rung your bell... that's one hell of an afterglow."

Rolling over to face her, Lynette shook her head and looked into those beguiling cerulean eyes. "No, not just the sex... although that was amazing." She blushed before continuing, "I meant everything else: becoming Fleet Admiral, getting another chance at having a family, the feeling that I'm a part of something so much bigger than myself. Thank you for making me so welcome... and for all you've done for me."

Running her fingers through Lynette's chestnut hair, Alyssa murmured, "You're close, aren't you, beautiful?" She let her hand drift down to the brunette's trim stomach. "We just need to feed you another time or two, then one little push..."

"What does bonding feel like?" Lynette whispered, entranced by her Matriarch's gaze.

"You'll open up that lovely mind of yours and share yourself with me," Alyssa said, her tone gentle and caring. "Then I'll share myself with you... and we'll truly know each other in a way that you've never experienced before. There's no easy way to explain just how wonderful that feels, but I can guarantee you'll enjoy it."

Lynette surprised herself by just how much she was looking forward to it. "I can't wait..."

"You won't have to... John's back," the blonde said, smiling as she listened to his thoughts.

***

Faye glanced up at John as she opened the airlock door, the portal spiralling open with a quiet hiss. "Home sweet home..."

"I wonder if we missed anything important while we were away," he said, stepping aside and gesturing for the purple girl to proceed before him.

She gave him a grateful smile as she entered the ship. "Sakura's delivery arrived and the packages are waiting for her in the Cargo Bay. She'll be returning with Calara in the Raptor soon; they're scheduled to arrive in 97 minutes. Irillith's program has successfully decoded the Vulkat archive and we're now able to view the data inside. She's planning to start translation tomorrow but is currently waiting for you with Tashana and Jehanna in the Observatory."

John gaped at her, then chuckled as realisation sunk in. "Eleven of your avatars were still aboard the Invictus..."

She curtsied and gave him a grin. "You were accompanied by Faye Primary this afternoon."

"Well thank you for a very pleasant afternoon, Faye Primary," John replied, bowing to her in return. He paused and looked at her curiously. "I always wondered about your avatars... are they different aspects of your personality?"

Faye shook her head. "No, they're theoretically all identical and just represent different processing streams... As you know, I'm capable of performing twelve completely independent tasks simultaneously." She hesitated for a moment and gave him a lopsided smile. "But I keep assigning the same avatars to the same tasks and each write their own custom programs to improve my performance."

"So, Faye Primary runs your physical presence?" he asked, his eyes roving over her delectable synthetic figure.

She hesitated then shook her head again. "Faye Primary is assigned to keeping you company..."

John reached out to stroke her cheek. "Well Faye Primary is a very lovely girl."

Faye rested her head against his hand, closing her eyes for a moment and savouring his touch. When she finally reopened them, she said quietly, "You better head up to the Observatory, the girls are waiting for you. I've already taken up lots of your time today."

"And I enjoyed every minute of it," he replied, leaning in to give her a parting kiss.

He gave her a warm smile then headed for the grav-tube, waving goodbye as he rose up in the cool blue glow. Faye watched him leave, then held the rose up to smell its scent again, a dreamy faraway look in her softly glowing eyes. When she disappeared from sight, John found himself reliving his date as he floated up through the decks, remembering the little looks and smiles that Faye had given him.

*I hope you have something equally as thoughtful planned for me, handsome,* Alyssa purred, her voice filled with anticipation.

*A date sounds wonderful, Master,* Jade agreed a split-second later. *Something really romantic!*

Edraele wasted no time in chiming in too. *I wonder what you have in store for us? I await your return to Genthalas, my Lord.*

*And don't forget all the girls,* Alyssa helpfully reminded him. *There's twelve more on the Invictus who'd all love to go out with you.*

*You've piqued the interest of Luna and the Young Matriarchs too,* Edraele added. *They're all intrigued by the concept of a date...*

John groaned in mock horror and rubbed his face with a hand. *I think I used up all my romantic creativity with Faye's date! You're telling me I've got to come up with twenty-one more?!*

His three Matriarchs dissolved into laughter and he smiled at their playful teasing. John opened the door to the Lagoon and strode inside, hearing the delightful sound of female laughter intermingled by splashes. Jade was waiting for him on the bridge, watching her sisters and Helene playing exuberantly in the water.

"They're getting more confident in the Lagoon," she said, turning to smile at John. "Once you've fed them a few more times, they'll love being able to swim around like fishes."

"How long was it before you were able to shapeshift into your aquatic form?" John asked, standing behind her and wrapping his arms around the Nymph. He watched Marika trying to keep her head out of the water as she swam to Helene, who was encouraging her and beckoning the tabby-striped girl onwards. "It was quite early on wasn't it?"

"The second day I was with you, Master," Jade replied, leaning back against him. "You were so kind to me... helping me grow stronger as soon as we were together."

"I had to look after my beautiful Nymph," John murmured, kissing her exposed throat. "I knew you were a special girl... you just needed some care and attention."

She began to purr appreciatively and he could feel the soothing vibrations with every kiss.

"Why aren't you in the water with your sisters?" he asked, placing his hands on her hips and holding her close.

Jade pushed her taut buttocks against his groin and began to rub up against him in maddeningly slow circles. "I'm going to the Observatory with you. I'll be keeping you occupied, while you watch the twins play with Jehanna..."

He thickened at the thought, his shaft nestled between her impossibly firm cheeks. "Sounds like an incredible evening just got even better."

Reaching for her hand, he turned and led Jade towards the Observatory, waving goodbye to Helene and the Nymphs.

Pausing at the door to the oval room, he glanced at Jade, a frown of regret on his face. "I know you three were joking earlier, but I'm sorry I haven't made more effort on the romance side. I really hope you don't feel like I'm taking you for granted."

Jade slid her arms around him and gave him a seductive smile. "You know my nature, Master. Getting bent over and fucked senseless by you is like a moonlit stroll along a beach. When you make love to me, I get to share my soul with you..." She shivered, her long eyelashes fluttering. "For a girl whose reason for living is to please her master, it's like I'm in Nirvana."

"I love you, Jade," he said, giving her a tender kiss.

She nodded, looking into his eyes. "I know."

They smiled at each other, then John opened the door into the Observatory. Jehanna and the twins were waiting for them, the three women dressed to impress in short, figure-hugging dresses that revealed an indecent amount of shapely thigh.

"Hello, ladies," John said, walking over to greet them.

"Why, John, how nice to see you," Irillith said airily. "This is a surprise..."

"We were just talking about you," Tashana added, a flirtatious twinkle in her violet eyes.

"Speak of the devil and he appears," John replied with a flourish, making them all laugh. "All good things I hope?"

Jehanna gave him a seductive smile. "About our devilish Progenitor? All the things the twins were telling me were very naughty indeed..."

He grinned at her, enjoying the banter. "Well I do have a reputation to maintain." He glanced at Tashana, then Irillith. "Before we get started with anything sinful, I just wanted to ask you two if Alyssa had told you what we discovered earlier?"

"That you've claimed the Maliri?" Tashana murmured, stepping closer and draping herself over his left side.

"That you 'own' us?" Irillith asked, mirroring her twin as she pressed herself against his right. "Yes, we heard..."

"Is that right?" he said with a smile, wrapping his arms around them and pulling them closer. "And what did you think about that bit of news?"

Tashana met his curious gaze, her angular eyes searching his. "I suspect we feel the same way you do... We like it..."

"We like it a lot..." Irillith purred. She gently caressed his painfully hard cock and whispered in his ear, "Just think, you can ask us to do anything your heart desires..."

"And we'd have to obey you..." Tashana breathed, her flushed lips nearing his, but pausing less than an inch away. "You do own us, after all."

Irillith's lips brushed against his earlobe. "Is there anything we can do to please you, my Lord?"

John felt a shiver run down his spine and by the flaring in the violet eyes staring back at him, he knew the twins felt it too. He managed to tear his eyes from the gorgeous azure beauties and made eye contact with Jehanna, who was enraptured by the trio. He let his hands drop down to the soft swell of the twins' buttocks and gave them a gentle squeeze.

"I'd like you to entertain our guest for me..." he said, his tone authoritative.

They shared a wicked grin, then bowed their heads respectfully. "We'll make her sing for you, my Lord," Tashana purred as they turned to face the dusky Terran.

Irillith gave Jehanna a smouldering look of lust. "We're going to make you ours, little girl."

Jehanna's wanton expression wavered for a moment, as she looked at each of the twins with trepidation. They sashayed towards her, then brushed their slender fingers along her bare arms, leaving a trail of goosebumps.

"Step out of your shoes," Tashana said, her fingers lightly caressing coffee-hued skin.

"Slowly..." Irillith added, copying her sister's gentle stroking.

Biting her flushed lower lip, Jehanna took her time stepping out of each high-heeled shoe, darting a questioning look at the twins when she was done. The Maliri girls towered over her now; already four inches taller than her, their own high heels exaggerated the size difference between them even further.

"Good girl," Tashana murmured, darting a glance at Irillith, who gave her a knowing smile in return.

John watched them in fascination, curious what that silent exchange was about.

*The twins suspect Jehanna is submissive,* Jade murmured in his mind, her hand caressing his shoulder. *They're just giving her some gentle encouragement...*

The Nymph was already nude and she glided around to help him undress, being careful not to obstruct his view. John fumbled for the buttons on his shirt, unable to take his eyes off the interplay between Jehanna and the twins.

"Kneel," Irillith said to the dusky girl, her violet eyes flashing dangerously.

Jehanna's breath caught, her cheeks flushing at the Maliri girl's firm tone. She wavered for a moment, then did as Irillith asked, sinking to her knees on the oval bed. Irillith raised one of her slender legs, offering her foot to the Terran, pointed toe of her shoe hovering inches in front of Jehanna's face.

"Remove them for me," Irillith purred, smiling with satisfaction as Jehanna instantly moved to obey.

John watched her bite her lip again as she gently cradled Irillith's toned calf in one hand, then cupped her foot in the other. Looking up, she made eye contact with the stern Maliri as she slipped the high-heeled shoe from her dainty foot.

"Now the other..."

Jehanna did the same, then turned shyly to Tashana.

"Yes, you have my permission to touch me," Tashana said with a haughty edge to her voice, although her encouraging smile took out any sting from her words. Lifting her own athletic leg, she waited patiently, watching as Jehanna slid her hands over silky blue skin and took off each shoe.

Now that they were both bare-footed, the twins stepped onto the bed, gliding gracefully past the girl kneeling before them. Jehanna turned to watch them, a lusty smile spreading across her face when Tashana crooked a finger and gestured for her to follow.

"On your knees," Irillith insisted, raising an eyebrow as she watched for any sign of disobedience.

John was presented with a mouth-watering view of Jehanna crawling across the bed to join the twins, her wonderfully rounded ass swaying alluring from side to side.

*Your trousers,* Jade reminded him as she finished unbuckling his belt.

As he started taking them off, the Nymph prowled over to the bed, collecting up pillows and arranging them to her satisfaction. When she was done, she sank to her knees, then patted the bed in the middle of the impromptu pillow chair. John walked over to join her, knowing exactly what she had in mind. He sat down on the bed and leaned back against the stack of pillows, enjoying the incredible view of the girls from the spot Jade had chosen.

The Nymph placed her hands on his thighs, then ducked low, her enchanting smile yawning open as she smoothly engulfed the head of his cock. With accomplished ease, she inched her way down his shaft until he was completely sheathed in her throat, the wet warmth snug around his entire length. Jade stayed still, her muscles rippling lightly around him like a loving caress, but she made no attempt to try and heighten his excitement. John stroked her hair and gave her a fond smile, before focusing his attention on the three girls in the centre of the bed.

The twins had given Jehanna permission to stand so that she could help undress them. Irillith was already naked at this point, but John was able to watch the Indian girl carefully ease Tashana's dress down her magnificent body, revealing inch after inch of sky-blue skin. The dress pooled at her feet, then the Maliri stepped clear in all her statuesque glory. Now that they were both nude, the twins focused on Jehanna, nimble fingers teasing the straps from her shoulders and coaxing the material down her curves.

Jehanna's eyes were impossibly wide as she darted hungry, disbelieving glances at the identical blue girls surrounding her. She looked across the bed at John and caught him watching her, a feverish look of excitement appearing on her face. When they made eye-contact he winked at her and she burst into a nervous giggle, a broad grin on her face.

Irillith wagged a chastising finger at him. "Stop it, you're breaking the mood!"

"My apologies, Princess Irillith," he replied, trying hard not to grin himself.

"You're forgiven," she said, flashing him a smile, before turning her eyes to Jehanna.

Tashana finished removing the last of the Terran girl's clothing, then helped guide her down to the bed, so that Jehanna was lying between the two sisters. "Such a beautiful girl," she murmured, her fingers lightly circling a pert breast.

Irillith nodded, giving the dusky reporter a triumphant smile. "I saw you months ago on the holo-net and thought you were the most wonderfully exotic Terran I've ever seen. I can hardly believe you're one of us now..."

She wasted no time in copying her twin's caresses, but she dragged her nails across Jehanna's skin, making Jehanna gasp at the tingling sensation. As her mouth opened in surprise, Irillith kissed her with a fierce intensity, blue lips merging with pink. Tashana moved lower, taking a chocolate-coloured nipple in her mouth, sucking and gently nibbling at the sensitive flesh.

Working in tandem, the twins switched, with Tashana taking her turn at kissing the panting girl. She took her time, her kisses having an earthy, sensual quality to them that was so very different from her sister's. As Jehanna moaned into Tashana's mouth, blue fingers slid lower, brushing over dusky thighs and taking a firm hold. With Irillith matching her actions, they gently pried the Terran girl's legs apart, drawing back her thighs to completely expose her sex.

John realised they were doing it for his benefit and he could see Jehanna's glistening lips as they splayed her legs apart obscenely wide. Her labia parted, looking slick and inviting, but his view was obscured a moment later by two blue hands.

"Oh yes!" Jehanna hissed, as Irillith slid a long index finger inside her, while Tashana gently teased her clit.
