against the door jam. Her left knee was bent and foot raised and pressed against the door jam. Her face lit up as she caught sight of him. She lowered her left foot to the floor as he approached her. She cast an eye over his uniform. “This official?” she asked.
He shook his head and smiled. She waved him in. He did as he was bid. The door shut behind him. He turned and asked “where’s your roommate?”
“Unavoidably detained” answered Kali.
“That’s convenient” commented Buster with a smile.
“It is, isn’t it?” Kali pulled off her tank top and threw it against the wall. Her honey brown breasts were barely contained by the bra.
Buster began undoing his buttons on his shirt but his eyes were focussed squarely ahead of him.
Kali smiled and shook her head and then took a pace towards him. “You were a lot quicker last time” she teased as she pulled up his shirt over his head.
“If I remember correctly neither of us got this far” and he took her in his arms. Their eyes locked and Buster felt this surge of desire. He kissed her on the lips. Her lips opened immediately and her tongue beckoned his in. He came up for air and once again their eyes locked.
Kali felt him undoing her bra while she wrestled with his trousers. She beat him hands down and when his trousers dropped around his ankles, she smiled at him gently. “Let me” she said and she had it off in no time. As her breasts were liberated she registered his excitement and licked her lips.
He cupped her right breast and she kissed him pushing her tongue into his mouth. She withdrew from the kiss and pulled on his underpants.
“Wait” he said and sat down on the end of the bed and began taking off his boots.
Kali began laughing lightly. “There’s a sight you don’t see every day.” She dropped her shorts and nickers in the one motion.
“And there’s another” he came back. With a degree of effort he managed to heave off the final boot. As he did so, she pushed his shoulders back and he fell willingly back onto the bed.
She mounted him and leaned over allowing her breasts to rub against his chest. She could tell from his eyes that he was really enjoying it. She leant a little further forward and rubbed her nipples over his eyes. She heard him sigh and then felt his hands grasp her buttocks. She found herself smiling so hard. She was overwhelmed by the feeling of joy in giving joy to her lover. She raised her hips a little and then came down for the piece de resistance.
Chapter 11. Resolute over Chelora 0145, 2 August
Emilio woke with a start. He may have been dreaming but he knew that the scream he just heard was not part of it, or the thump on the wall. He gathered his thoughts. ‘Buster’ he announced to himself, for on the other side of the adjoining wall was Buster’s cabin.
Emilio stayed dead quiet like he would out on a night ambush. He steadied his own breathing and craned to hear. But he heard no further noise. He thought about knocking on Buster’s door but in the end decided not to. He lay back down and sleep claimed him.
Chapter 12. Maelstrom over Chelora 0930, 3 August
The renaming ceremony had just finished and the IRS Mailon was now the FFS Maelstrom. Rihan was still in command, at least for the next week till the new commander arrived. She was escorting the Admiral around and introducing him to the ship’s crew when her watch officer hailed.
“Maam we have a message in from the Phantom. I think you need to see this straight away.”
“Right. I’m coming.” Rihan excused herself and a few minutes later was reading the message sent over a day ago from deep within rogan space. They were not expecting any comms. The protocol was supposed to be zero emissions.
She read the report of the gravitational anomaly with some curiosity but this turned to alarm with the assessment about a PME device. Unlike Aubrey, Rihan knew only too well the history around the PME project. It had been the case study
