Planet of the Valkyries

by Callista Hawkes

  “Lay in a course for the nearest outpost so that we can effect repairs.” You tell him. “I’ll check on the captain.”

  You enter the sickbay, finding Doctor Thorne just inside the door with the long ward lined with beds stretching away to both sides.

  “How’s the captain?” You ask her.

  “She’s suffered a concussion.” She replies, glancing towards a bed at the far end of the ward. “I’ve patched her up and I’ll keep her in for observation for the next twenty-four hours, but she should be fine.”

  “And the girl?” You ask.

  “She’s resting.” The Doctor nods towards the other end of the ward. “She’s had a rough time of it, but she’s physically unharmed. Guest quarters have been prepared for her. I was about to discharge her and allow her to convalesce there.”

  Check on the captain

  Check on the mysterious young woman

  “Mind if I check in with our guest?” You ask.

  “Make it quick.” Doctor Thorne replies frostily.

  “Thank you, Doctor.” You smile. You walk down the ward, passing numerous beds and banks of various medical instruments and monitor panels. The young woman is sitting on the edge of the bed with her back to you.

  “Sorry to intrude, miss, but…” You begin. The woman turns towards you and you blink in surprise. The grime has been washed from her face and replaced with immaculately applied makeup. Her tangled hair is now tamed and styled. The torn and filthy ball gown has been replaced by a fresh, clean, navy blue cocktail dress, perhaps donated by one of the crew. Stunned at the transformation, you recognise her immediately.

  “You’re Princess Elektra of Antares Prime.” You gasp. “An honour to meet you, your highness.” You give her a slight, awkward bow.

  “Please.” She smiles, getting to her feet. “There’s no need for such formality, least of all from my saviour.” Tall and slender, the proud and regal figure couldn’t be more different than the cowed and pathetic creature you rescued just a few hours earlier.

  “The captain has been informed of your status?” You ask.

  “She has and my family has been contacted.” She smiles. “They have dispatched a royal frigate to rendezvous with the Ranger tomorrow.”

  “Then we have a distinguished guest until then.” You smile.

  “I expect no special treatment.” She replies.

  Offer to give her a tour of the ship

  Escort her to her quarters

  “All the same, with your permission, it would be my pleasure to give you a tour of the ship.” You smile.

  “Doctor Thorne told me that guest quarters have been prepared and I was to rest.” Elektra replies, glancing back along the ward behind you.

  “I’m sure she won’t object to a short stroll about the decks on the way.” You grin.

  “Then I would be delighted.” She smiles, joining you as you walk back along the ward. Doctor Thorne straightens and raises an eyebrow as you approach.

  “Where are you going with my patient, Commander?” She asks, her eyes narrowing.

  “You said yourself she is discharged.” You reply. “So the princess is just going to stretch her legs for an hour.” The doctor glares back at you, anger simmering in her eyes.

  “That’s… I…” She stammers.

  “I promise, I’ll wrap her in cotton wool.” You interrupt, flashing her a grin. She opens her mouth to retort, but you have already ushered Elektra through the door and into the corridor beyond. The door sighs shut, cutting off any further objections.

  “She didn’t seem happy.” Elektra giggles as you walk along the corridor. “Will you get in trouble?”

  “Probably.” You shrug, flashing her a roguish grin.

  You take her on a tour of the ship, escorting her from the engine room, to the forward laser cannon array, the lush hydroponics deck, the bridge and finally to stellar cartography with the transparent domed ceiling on the dorsal side of the Ranger providing an unparalleled view of the heavens. Other than the thousands of stars, you can see a yellow and green nebula, the wispy tendrils of dust particles snaking out from the dense centre.

  “It’s spectacular!” She breathes in awe, gazing up at the cosmos beyond the latticework of the dome. “Though it does kind of make you feel a little small and insignificant in comparison to the vastness of the galaxy.”

  “I like to think that as most of it is a cold, dark, lifeless vacuum, we are the bright points that give it all meaning.” You reply.

  “That’s a nice way to think about it.” She smiles, holding your gaze for a moment. She seems to be studying you before realising she is staring. Blushing slightly, she turns away.

  “Are you feeling unwell, your highness?” You ask.

  “A little weary, that’s all.” She smiles.

  Continue

  “Then I’ll escort you to your quarters.” You smile. “You can rest there.”

  “Thank you.” Elektra replies.

  You guide her through the maze of corridors and down to E Deck where the guest quarters are located. The door to her quarters slides open before you and you politely gesture for her to step inside. The chambers are luxuriously appointed and far bigger than even the captain’s quarters, let alone your own. A wide observation window dominates the far wall, the stars shining brightly beyond it. A large bed is to the right hand side while a desk and chair are located to the left.

  “Please, come in.” Elektra smiles, walking over to the window and gazing out at the infinite universe beyond.

  “Something of an improvement on your previous accommodation.” You smile as the door sighs shut behind you.

  “You can say that again!” She laughs, turning towards you, her body silhouetted against the stars. Her brown eyes seem to gleam in the dim light and you shift awkwardly under her penetrating gaze.

  “I should allow you to rest, your highness.” You tell her, the door sliding open as you turn to leave.

  “Commander Chase?” She calls out. You turn back to her in the doorway. “I just wanted to thank you for rescuing me from those despicable pirates and... and apologise for... for the kiss. I let my emotions get the better of me. I regret my moment of weakness.”

  Tell her you don’t regret it

  Accept her apology

  “Think nothing of it, your highness.” You smile politely. “You’ve been through quite an ordeal and emotions were running high. I’m just glad that you’re safe and we can reunite you with your family back on Antares Prime.”

  “Thank you for being so understanding.” She replies with a sad smile and folds her arms across her chest. “My kingdom… no, I… owe you a great debt.”

  “Just doing my job, your highness.” You reply, shifting uncomfortably from foot to foot.

  “I’m keeping you from your duties!” She winces. “Please, don’t let me detain you any longer.” She smiles sweetly at your uncomfortable approximation of a bow before you back away, her door sighing shut between you. You turn and stride along the corridor, the stolen kiss aboard the pirate vessel playing on your mind.

  Continue

  “I don’t regret it, your highness.” You grin. “It’s not every day you get kissed by a real life princess.”

  “That’s very kind of you.” Elektra smiles, blushing.

  “And for what it’s worth, you’re a good kisser.” You add, again turning to leave.

  “Wait.” She calls out. You turn back to her, finding the beautiful young woman chewing her lip, deep in thought. A decision apparently made, she strides purposefully across the room towards you, grasping your hand and pulling you back into her quarters, the door sighing shut behind you.

  “Wha…” You murmur before she has drawn you to her, her lips once again pressing against yours. This time, the kiss is long and lingering, any doubt vanishing with a barely audible moan as she surrenders herself to her desires. Wrapping your arms around her, you hold her tightly, your right hand roaming downwards to playfully squeeze a buttock. S
he squeals with surprise, breaking the kiss and gazing up into your eyes.

  “Aren’t you supposed to be an officer and a gentleman?” She smiles, brushing a few strands of dark hair out of her eyes.

  “I’m definitely one of them.” You grin.

  “I do have a weakness for charming rogues.” She laughs. “Here, help me out of this.” She purrs, turning her back to you.

  “Are you sure about this?” You ask her.

  “I’ve spent the first twenty-three years of my life being what others have expected me to be.” She replies, glancing over her shoulder. “The respectable princess of Antares Prime, heir to seven star systems and future monarch to billions of citizens. Every moment of my life has been in the public eye. It’s stifling and exhausting. My time in captivity has given me an opportunity to reassess. I’m not just a figurehead. I’m a woman with needs and desires.”

  “A simple ‘yes’ would have sufficed.” You reply with a smirk. She again glances over her shoulder and chuckles, her eyes filled with excitement as she waits expectantly for you to take her. As you reach for her, you wonder if she would prefer the gentleman or the rogue.

  Act the rogue

  Act the gentleman

  Elektra squeals in surprise as you pull her back around to face you and press your lips to hers. Her eyes widen as you kiss her aggressively while your fingers quickly unfasten the back of her dress. You pull away and she gasps as you tug down the front of the dress, exposing her bra clad breasts. The push up bra accentuates her impressive cleavage and you lean forward, showering kisses across the tops of her soft, fleshy mounds.

  “I want you.” You tell her.

  “Take me.” She replies breathlessly.

  “I wasn’t asking.” You rumble. The briefest flashes of a smile crosses her lips before she gasps and lashes out, slapping you across the face. It’s your turn to gasp in surprise and you reach up to feel your injured left cheek.

  “You forget yourself, sir!” She tells you. “This is unbecoming of an officer of the Galactic Navy!”

  “You’ll pay for that.” You growl, massaging your burning cheek before picking her up and throwing her over your shoulder. She kicks her legs and claws at your back as you carry her across the room and toss her down onto the bed. She squeals in protest, her eyes burning as she glares up at you, though the corners of her mouth curl up in a smile.

  “Don’t you dare touch me!” She snarls, quickly suppressing the grin. “I am a royal princess!”

  “I’m going to do more than touch you, your highness.” You reply in a mocking tone as you pull off your uniform jacket and t-shirt. Her eyes flit over your muscular chest as you kick off your boots and join her on the bed. Straddling her, you crawl up the bed until your face hovers above hers. Elektra’s lips pout expectantly as you lean forward, kissing her again. She kisses you back, matching your ferocity, the pretence abandoned as her lust takes over. She pulls you to her, spearing her tongue between your lips.

  “I want you inside me.” She tells you, the words punctuated by feverish kisses. One of her hands slides down between your bodies, squeezing the hardening bulge through your underpants.

  Enter her

  Go down on her instead

  You nod and she bites her lower lip as her hands fumble with your belt.

  “Don’t you know how to work a buckle without the help of your lady’s maid?” You growl, pulling back and impatiently ripping your belt off and tugging down your trousers and underpants. Despite the rebuke, she smiles as her eyes settle on your rigid shaft jutting out of your groin.

  “Shut up and fuck me.” She breathes, the expletive sounding strange when spoken with her plummy regal accent. She lifts her hips and pulls down her black lacy panties before spreading her legs, her chest heaving in anticipation. With a thrill of excitement running through you, you guide your cock to her opening, Elektra moaning as the broad crown parts her puffy labia. She gasps as you sink deeply inside her, her eyes widening as she gazes up at you. As you begin to thrust into her, she wraps her legs around your thighs and pulls you in tightly, your cock pistoning easily in and out of her drenched pussy.

  “That feels so good!” She moans thickly, reaching out for you, her fingers pulling your head to hers and kissing you passionately.

  “You like that?” You grunt, breaking the kiss. “You like my big hard cock inside you?”

  “Mmmm, yes,” She pants, “Though…” With surprising strength, she abruptly rolls you onto your back and sits up, her brown eyes filled with lust. You blink in surprise as she begins to ride you. “…I’m used to being in a position of authority.” She finishes, smiling down at you as she rocks back and forth. You grin back at her before your gaze drops to her generous breasts bouncing each time she drives herself down on you. You reach up, cupping them and gently massaging the fleshy orbs.

  “Yessss.” She groans, the buds of her nipples hardening and pressing into your palms. “I love the feel of your hands on my body.”

  “Let’s see how good you are.” You grin. Elektra looks blankly at you. “Touch yourself.” You tell her. Her eyes widen but she pauses only for a moment before sliding her right hand under the crumpled navy blue dress gathered around her waist and slipping it between her thighs. She gasps as her fingertips brush over her clitoris before a broad smile stretches across her face as she begins to rub at the sensitive little nub.

  “I can’t believe I’m touching myself in front of you.” She purrs as she continues to grind herself back and forth on your hard shaft. The sight and feel of the beautiful princess relentlessly riding you towards her orgasm has your own rapidly building in your balls. Your hands leave her chest, sliding down to grasp her hips as you drive up into her, meeting her downward thrusts. Her breathless moans become sharper and more intense, her mouth dropping open and her brown eyes filled with desperation as she closes in. Her eyes roll back in her head and with a cry of release she slumps forward, her long dark hair hanging down into your face. She trembles as the first pulses of pleasure surge through her. The inner muscles of her pussy clench around your cock and you feel your own climax rapidly building. You grit your teeth, trying to stave off the inevitable, but Elektra is frantically riding you in the throes of ecstasy.

  “Don’t stop! Don’t stop!” She pants. You cannot hold off any longer and your grip tightens on her hips as you drive up inside her one final time. Her eyes widen as the first spurt erupts inside her. “Oh my God, you’re coming inside me!” She gasps. Consumed by your climax, you barely hear her, your body quaking in ecstasy as your twitching cock gushes again and again inside her. As your orgasms both subside, she slumps forward onto you, her soft breasts crushed against your chest, her hot, panting breaths against your cheek.

  “Not bad for a…” You murmur before the words die on your lips.

  “You can say it.” She chuckles, pulling away slightly and gazing into your eyes. “For an entitled and spoiled rich bitch.”

  “For a young woman of perhaps limited experience.” You reply in a slightly wounded tone.

  “Sorry.” She blushes. “Guess I can be a little oversensitive at times.” She climbs off you and your cock slaps wetly back against your stomach.

  “I ought to get back to the bridge.” You tell her. “I don’t want to be missed and start a scandal.”

  “Of course.” She replies. “And thank you for your thorough hospitality.” She adds with a playful smile. You return her smile and quickly pull your uniform back on before leaving her quarters and hurrying back towards the bridge.

  Continue

  “No.” You growl, pulling away and shuffling down the bed. She gazes quizzically up at you before squealing in surprise as you grasp her legs and pull then apart, the hem of her dress riding up her toned thighs.

  “What are you doing?” Elektra breathes, her brown eyes wide as you slide the dress up past her waist. You ignore the question, gazing down at her black lacy panties, a smile crossing your face. Reaching for the flimsy ga
rment, you hook your fingers inside the waistband and roughly tear them apart. She gasps as you rip the underwear from her and casually toss the ruined panties away. While she is abruptly and completely exposed to you, Elektra makes no move to shield herself from you. Her legs actually spread a little wider as she gazes expectantly up at you.

  “You look good enough to eat.” You grin, your eyes fixed on her delicate folds, the dark tuft of pubic hair above contrasting with her pale thighs. Leaning forward, you lower your face towards her pussy, the heady aroma drifting into your nostrils and making your cock twitch with excitement. Your mouth salivates as you move closer to her dewy labia, feeling the heat of her own trembling excitement radiating out against your cheeks. Grasping her thighs, you plunge your tongue inside her, eagerly tasting her sweet nectar.

  “Yesss!” Elektra moans with delight, her hands in your hair. You eagerly lap at her juicy furrow while she writhes in pleasure at every flick of your tongue. Her taste is intoxicating and your pulse races with excitement. Her fingers tighten in your hair and she forces your head upwards. “Lick my little button.” She pants. You obediently swirl your tongue around the tiny hood of her clitoris, teasing the sensitive nub as she cries out with pleasure. You fleetingly wonder if anyone passing the door of her quarters will be able to hear her loud shrieks of delight. She abruptly yanks your head from between her thighs.

  “Wha…?” You begin, blinking in surprise.

  “Get on your back.” Elektra tells you imperiously.

  Do as she commands

  You’re in charge here

  “You’re on my ship now, princess.” You growl, your eyes blazing as you sit up. “Now get on your hands and knees.” Elektra nods submissively and does as you instruct, her legs slightly parted and her head bowed. The hem of her dress hangs down over her arse and you eagerly draw it up like a veil. You smile as her firm, round buttocks are revealed. You run your hands over the smooth globes, Elektra moaning as you gently massage them. A thought enters your head and you smile cruelly as you raise your right hand and slap it down across her rump. She rocks forward, yelping in pain and surprise.
