Those Kinds of Adult Stories Your Mother Warned You About

“What? You gave up on the force? How the hell could you?”
“Ah, I’m not cut out for it… I…”
“Like fuck you are not.” She slapped him across the face, stunning him to silence. “Now listen up, jackass. I’ll make a deal with you. You get back into the Academy, complete your graduation and serve with the force… and I’ll drop all charges.”
“Wow!” He looked at her bemused. “For real?”
“My word as Sergeant Harvey of City PD.” She told him, and then felt awkward making a declaration as a police officer in the nude.
“And how about this here…” he reached out to touch her quivering pussy. “What we had right now?”
“Well, we can always have our private lives.” She smiled, caressing his rising cock.
“Okay, you’ve got yourself a deal, Sarge.” He grinned and twitched his cock for her.
“And no more bank jobs.” She gave the thickening meat an affectionate squeeze.
“That goes without saying.” Landon was rock hard in her hands again.
“It had better, or else I’ll throw the book at you so hard…” She leaned down and kissed the beetroot red cockhead.
“You won’t have to, my goddess.” With a smile on his lips, the young stud leaned back to enjoy the view of her sucking his cock anew. “I’ll do any and every thing for you.”

“Damn, Harvey!” Lieutenant Dixon’s voice boomed above the rising cacophony around them. “I wouldn’t have recognized you in a million years if you hadn’t spoken to me now.”
Diana laughed at the surprised and yet admiring look Dixon had on his face. The last six months had been a time for change, a gradual yet much needed change. Everyone there at the annual police ball had the same affectionate look on their faces for her. Never had she worn such an elegant dress before. The midnight blue one piece was demure and yet so revealing. The expensive material clung to her tight body, hugging every curve to full measure. The neck, round cut, but just enough to show the top of her enticing cleavage, the skirt cut away just above her knees, and the sleeves above her elbows decorated with a single line of golden ringed buttons from shoulder to sleeve hem. And then the same design in a perfect line down the enticing curve of her hips along the length of the skirt.
And for the first time in years, Diana was wearing make up. Her shiny chocolate brown hair was cut and set stylishly to soften her high cheek boned face. Her lovely brown eyes embellished by rich dark eye liner and her full lips a deep wine red, she was ready to party.
“Let’s just say, chief, that I’m rediscovering certain things about myself I had kept buried too long.” She was in love and she was happy.
“And it’s never too late, my dear.” Dixon nodded his thick head slowly. “There were times I thought of telling you to let your hair down for a bit, but then… it’s none of my business what you do with your own time.”
“Well, I might have appreciated a little encouragement, but then work was all I was living for ever since I joined force.” She gazed around at the happy faces looking her way. “I’m still going to work just as much, but I’m also taking the time to let my hair down a lot more.”
“Believe me, Diana.” Her boss had a very fatherly smile of affection on his face. “Everyone here at the precinct will adore you the more for it. Every one of us.”
“Thank you, Chief.” She almost let a tear escape. “You guys are the best.”
“No more than you are, my lady.” A youthful voice from behind made her heart leap for joy.
“Yeah, and it’s about time I humanized myself a little more.” Diana said as she linked her arm to the smartly dressed tall young man’s who walked up beside her. “Chief, everyone, meet rookie Rod Landon, fresh out of the academy. I’m taking him under my wing, he’s going to learn the ropes here as my new partner… at work and in life.”
A loud cheer went up from all the gathered police personnel and Diana felt then that her life couldn’t have been more perfect. She had her work and also a life and the two would never clash with each other. With a smile on her face and a throb in her belly, she took her young partner’s hand and led him to the dance floor with everyone cheering and clapping all around them.
Story 22
“…entering the communal watering hole registered as Exit-120, in the Delta-Nova sector. Secondary hostiles eliminated. Primary quarry is in sight.” Captain Diana Lancaster closed her eyes as she heard her own voice on the played back recording. She exhaled deeply and leaned back on the hard metal chair she was seated on. This one-on-one investigation was the last thing she had expected, but with Chief-Marshall Galen Torques, she shouldn’t have really been surprised.
“Target is hostile. Proceeding with extreme caution.” Diana’s recorded narration continued. “Shots fired. Returning fire… uh… offhh. Incoming. Incoming. Get down, Hollis!”
Static and the sound of loud explosions and laser fire filled the next few seconds of the recording, and then Diana’s voice crackled on back. “Fugitive has escaped. Captain Robyn Hollis is down… she’s… Captain Hollis is dead.”
“Is that all of it?” Chief-Marshall Galen Torques turned toward her and asked with a clear distaste in his tone.
“Yes, Chief-Marshall.” Diana nodded slowly. The lights came on softly around her as the static ridden holo-screen dimmed down. She looked up at the imposing figure of power seated before her and a shiver ran down her spine.
“Surprising, Captain Lancaster, that a Ranger of your experience could let this happen.” The large commanding officer of the Space Rangers shook his bald head. “You are what, a year short of retirement… almost twenty five years of service, most of it by the book, and now this?”
“We were taken by surprise, Chief Marshall.” She said in her defense. “I agree that with my years of experience, I should have… known better, but Morgan Vanderlin is one of the galaxy’s most notorious criminals. She has access to resources that we cannot…”
“Are you telling me that a criminal is more powerful than the Space Rangers, Captain Lancaster?”
“No, Sir, not al all.” Diana sighed sadly. “It’s just that… we were not prepared.”
“You were not prepared, Captain?” The condescending tone of the man in charge cut deep into her. “This was your mission, your own command. And Robyn Hollis died for it.”
“She was my partner for seven years… I don’t know if I can even face her folks… I…”
“Leave that to me, Lancaster.” Torques said brusquely. “And though it calls for some kind of formal reprimand, I am going to make an exception. For your years of decent service and the fact that you have less than a year to retire with distinction, here’s what I have in mind.”
Diana nodded silently. She was ready to accept anything. Anything at all, except of course public humiliation. And Galen Torques, the hard taskmaster that he was, was not known to be a spiteful or malicious man, and she felt thankful for that.
“I will give you one more opportunity, Captain Lancaster.” Torques said in a grim tone. “You’re going to track down Morgan Vanderlin and bring that heinous bitch in alive. You have three standard Earth weeks to do it, or else your retirement, without distinction, will come six months earlier and you will serve correctional detention. Is that understood?”
“Yes, Chief Marshal. Crystal clear.” She looked into his hard eyes and saluted stiffly.
“Excellent! You are dismissed.” She heard him bark out as she spun on her heel and walked out of his gloomy office.
The long walk back to her own quarters down the spotless white corridors of the Space Rangers orbital station was uneventful, and Diana was grateful for that. She stepped into her regulation accommodation and took off her dirtied uniform. Sighing softly she stepped into the tiny six by six bathroom and turned on the shower. Water jetted out from the four showerheads, one in each corner of the narrow room and she sank down to the floor, relishing the refreshing warmth on her fatigued bo
dy. Thoughts of Robyn Hollis came to her mind, the woman who was her partner for seven years. They worked well together, always ready for their assignments and watching each other’s backs. But Diana hardly missed the woman. They were not friends, just coworkers. And it was Diana who had preferred it that way. Even if Robyn would have liked to have been friends, Diana had never allowed that. She was a cold and distant person by nature, and had been so ever since she was a child. She had never had a relationship with anyone, man or woman, and even though she did enjoy physical intimacy, it was always just corporeal and on her terms.
At forty four, she was still in peak physical condition. Twenty five years as a Space Ranger kept her that way. She was a captain, even though such ranks were just formalities now and didn’t really mean a thing. Hollis was a captain too, but Diana was the senior partner, being ten years older and with more field experience. Damn, she didn’t miss the girl at all. Was it normal? She didn’t know or care. Life went on better that way for her. She had lost her parents early in life, her mother before her teens and her father a few years later. Diana was a self made woman with a will of her own and nobody could tell her any different.
She turned off the water and stood up. The full length mirror before her displayed her naked body as the steam vents evaporated the water off her. Diana had to admit, that even at her age, she had a tight, full figured body that made most heads turn. She was quite athletic, but not too muscular. Feminine roundness enveloped over her rugged fitness, and yet gave off a sense of strength. And though most people were attracted to her, they left it to her to make the first move. Diana preferred it that way.
Grabbing a fresh set of her uniform from her narrow wardrobe panel, she dressed quickly and was about to reach for the door when the buzzer went off, announcing a visitor. Who could that be, she wondered. She wasn’t expecting anyone, though she tapped in her code and the door slid open. Standing outside was a young woman, smartly dressed in the uniform of a Space Ranger. Before looking at her face, Diana’s eyes darted to the rank markings on the collar of her uniform. One gold bar on the navy blue material. A Corporal.
“Yes?” She asked the young woman tersely.
“Captain Diana Lancaster.” The woman said meekly. “Corporal Jayne Drakes reporting. I am your new partner…”
“What?” Diana was taken aback. A new partner, already? And just a corporal. A new recruit by the looks of her.
“…um, I was told to meet you here.” The blond, blue eyed woman looked at her with visible apprehension and held up a personal message tablet. “Chief Marshal Torques asked me to give you this.”
Diana pursed her lips and nodded as she accepted the recorded message. She hit the play tab and the bald headed red face of Galen Torques popped up on the holo-display. His voice was clear, and what he said clearer still, leaving her to wonder if her assessment of him not being a malicious man was indeed wrong. This corporal was a new recruit with no experience in the field, and her training report was nothing exceptional either. Was Torques saddling her with this newbie to make sure she fails in the task he set her? But what had he to gain with her downfall?
Whatever it was, Diana decided it was not worth her time. Sure, she’d go on the mission and if she failed, she would fail, with or without this newbie to look after. So she’d retire six months ahead of schedule. She could go on that grand vacation to Io she had been promising herself for years. The view of Saturn’s rings were said to be breathtaking from that volcanic moon.
“Very well, Corporal Drakes.” She nodded at the younger woman. “I’m heading for lunch, if you care to, you can join me and we’ll go over the details of our first mission together.”
“Yes, I would love to… join you for lunch.” Jayne Drakes sounded a bit too over eager as her blue eyes shone bright and her full cheeks were flushed red. Ah, the exuberance of youth, Diana shook her head, just wasted on the young.
The cafeteria was not packed to capacity, much to her relief and lunch was a quick serving of meatloaf, mashed potatoes and some salad or other. Jayne sat opposite her and waited for her to start. Diana gave her a smile and sliced into her meatloaf. The younger woman did the same and nodded at her.
“So why were you partnered to me?” She asked Jayne. “Shouldn’t all trainees be partnered with the three-year vets?”
“Oh, I… I was asked if I’d like anyone to mentor me.” The blond stared at her with a gaping smile.
“Asked?” Her brow shot up. “And… you chose me?”
“Yes, they suggested you might need a partner, now that… um…”
“Fair enough.” Diana focused on her meal. “And did they brief you on the first mission you’d be with me on?”
“Yes. And oh, I’m so excited…” Jayne said with wide eyed wonder. “We’re going to apprehend the most famous outlaw in the galaxy… the magnificent Morgan Vanderlin.”
“Are you a fan of hers?” Diana couldn’t help but feel irked by the younger woman’s enthusiasm.
“Oh, no… she’s a bad egg, that one.” Jayne smiled at her oddly. “I like her courage and tenacity though, but I am a fan of yours.”
“Say what?” She looked at the other woman, her fork frozen midway up to her open mouth.
“I have always admired your work, Captain Lancaster.” Jayne gushed. “For years and years, ever since I heard of you, when I was just a kid… you inspired me to become a Space Ranger.”
“Well, I should be flattered…” Diana felt strangely pale as she took a sip of water. “I had no idea anyone had heard of me… let alone have any fans.”
“Oh, you have many fans, Captain.” Jayne was very excited. The girl had a strange look on her young face, as if she was longing for something more. “And I’m the biggest one… I even had a major crush on you in my teens.”
“Uh… you did?” She stared at the younger woman with surprise. “How old are you now?”
“Oh, I’ll be twenty in three weeks.”
Good gracious, Diana heard a few alarm bells going off inside her head. This girl was still in her teens and was going to go up against Morgan Vanderlin. Would she get even to twenty in those three weeks?
“You know that Vanderlin in a dangerous criminal?” She decided it was time to let reality bite down hard. “And that taking her head on can be life threatening?”
“Yes, I do.” Jayne was nodding her head like one of those silly little bobble head dolls. She resisted the urge to slap the girl across that innocently bewildered face of hers.
“Then you’d better shape up. This isn’t going to be some glitzy celeb trip. This is real and the knocks are going to be hard. Vanderlin killed my last partner only last night, and we’re going after her as soon as we pick up a trail… so if you’re in this with me, you’d better act like it. No more aggravating giddy girlie talk, am I clear?”
“I… uh… yes, Captain.” Jayne looked stunned by her sudden turn of character, but it was time to show the girl that this was no game, especially for fan girls wanting to go on an adventure with their idols. That made Diana laugh inwardly. Never in her wildest dreams did she see herself becoming an idol.
“Very good, Corporal.” She told the girl in a cold distant tone. “Now come with me, I’ll show you my… our ship and what your role is in this partnership.”
*****
“We’re hot on her trail, Captain.” Jayne was shouting above the bleeps and tweets of the tracking gizmos all around. “There, and this time, its no decoy.”
“Good work, Drakes.” Diana nodded and wrestled with the controls as the ship bucked and bounced on the ion trail rushing at them from the huge red planet before them. “Keep it steady… she’s diving through the gravity well of that planet.”
“Oh, she’s… using it to repel the ship away.” The blonde yelled. “That’s one hell of a gutsy move.”
“We’ll make her tell us how she did it with that b-grade ship she hijacked after we take the bitch in.” Diana yelled at the girl. “Now get to pushing all our
spare power into the frontal repulsors. We’re going to try that stunt too.”
The ship rocked violently, jerking them around wildly but Diana held on to the controls and was impressed to see Jayne do the same. The young woman had been quite an asset in the entire week that they had been tracking and chasing the elusive outlaw woman. And now they were almost touching distance of her.
“She’s headed for that moon…’ Jayne cried excitedly. “And look, right through those ion clouds coming out of the planet’s vents.”
“Morgan Vanderlin, we’ve got you now.” Diana laughed above the din her ship was making. “That moon’s a dead end.”
Diana used the planet’s gravity to push their state-of-the-art scout ship away toward the moon. Vanderlin’s ship was on her view screen as it rapidly descended on to the gray-green surface of moon. Within minutes the ship was skimming over the strange snow-like landscape and the on board sensors were going haywire. Beeps, tweets, blips and honks played out a cacophonic orchestra, making it hard for them to concentrate. Vanderlin’s ship was nowhere in sight, but its heat signal blipped on the scanners. She was just a mile ahead of them.
