Back at the suite, I waited for the girls to return, drinking from a pitcher of Sangria that I got from the bar. De Tomcat had a plan, and the pieces were coming together. After what seemed an eternity the girls arrived, loaded with packages. While they were sorting through their packages, I ordered dinner for all of us.
The girls separated a couple boxes that they said were for Kim. I thanked them and asked that when they delivered Kim's new clothes that they burn what ever clothing she still had.
They laughed and assured me that I would not recognize Kim when they got through with her.
The next group of packages were for me. Most of the shirts were of various colors, sleeveless, with a deep v-neck. They also bought me a few new pants and an assortment of bikini briefs. They came in a variety of colors, some were mesh, some lacy, and all made of sheer fabric. "You're not the only one who likes to look," Amber teased.
They had me try on and model each pair. I felt worse than naked in these scantily clad garments, but with each pair the girls clapped and whistled. I was wearing a black mesh brief, when there was a knock at the door.
Amber opened the door to allow room service in. The attendant was a blond young lady, very good looking, something that de Tomcat would love to get to know better. I stared at her feasting on the eye candy. She stopped when she saw me. Her eyes going right to my crotch. I didn't know who was more embarrassed, her or l. Amber, Tanya, and Natty laughed, tipping the poor girl, then showed her out of the suite.
Tanya said, "Nathaniel why don't you set the table, while we watch."
I set four places at the table then seated the girls, and myself.
"Nathaniel, I am an android, and I do not eat," Natty said.
"Who told you that you cannot eat?"
"Randolph told me that I didn't need to eat."
"That explains why you haven't shared any meals with us. Randolph gets a bit dotty at times. While you can get by without eating, you can still eat. Your digestive system can process the nutrients and use the food as an energy source, just like ours. You can also experience the flavors and pleasure of eating and drinking, without getting drunk. You need to think of yourself as a synthetic person, or better yet a beautiful young lady. l do. Now please join us with our meal."
"Thank you Cappy," she cried, tears flowing freely down her cheeks.
We ate the main course. The food was delicious.
"Supper was very yummy Cappy," Natty said, licking her hands and plate clean.
I got up and removed the dishes.
"Now for dessert."
While preparing the dessert, the girls whispered about how sexy I looked in my new bikini briefs. Perhaps I should start wearing underwear more often, I thought.
Natty teased, "We like to look too."
I placed a small plate with carefully wrapped packages in front of each of the girls.
"What is this?" Tanya asked.
"You will have to open it to see."
The girls opened their small packages revealing ring boxes. They each opened the ring boxes simultaneously.
"ls this what I think it is?" Tanya asked.
I nodded. She came over to me hugging and kissing me. Natty joined Tanya and I saying, "Thank you Cappy, this is the happiest day of my life." Amber started crying, she joined the three of us and whispered, "Of course I will."
"Cappy, Amber is crying again. We need to make her happy."
"Natty, I am very happy. Its the happiest day of my life."
"We will have to make you even happier," Natasha said.
Red called us on the hotel comms to give Amber more good news. Beverly accepted his offer to be Amber's second in command. Negotiations were tough.
"I don't know what is going on between you and Beverly, but she is not very happy with you. I had to make a few of concessions. The first was that Amber spend as much time off ship as possible, preferably all the time. The second was that she give up her quarters, as she would be moving into the captain's quarters. Finally, that you let her have Sultan all to herself."
"Beverly, thought I had a thing for Sultan, even while I was married to Stan. She was jealous of a relationship that never existed. Sultan was never anything more than a work colleague. It was his choice to join me as a business associate. She also had an opportunity to join me as my partner. Beverly is welcome to my quarters, I have already moved in with Nathaniel. I plan on spending most of my time aboard the Revenge with him, Tanya and Natty, anyhow. But, she will still be under my command. Beverly is welcome to Sultan and always has been.
Red said, "l thought so, so giving into her demands was basically giving her nothing. I had to try to make it look like you were desperate to relinquish the Lucy, and make her feel that she was being victorious over you.
"I have another favor to ask of you." Amber said, showing him her new ring. "Would you be so kind as to marry the four of us?"
"Nathaniel, you dog, its about time you did the right thing, proposing to Amber. Ain't you getting a little greedy though, marrying three woman at once?" he laughed. "You can't possibly imagine what a good catch you made, getting hitched to my sister. The benefits may even outweigh the trouble the girls will likely cause you. You are very fortunate, with me being your brother in law. Besides, I like you, unlike her previous cowardly wimp of a husband."
Chapter 26
It was decided that the wedding would be held on the stations promenade. The public park there had the space needed to hold both Amber's crew and my own. Red would be officiating our wedding.
Red said to me jokingly, "It ain't to late to run and hide."
Amber brought her sister Beverly over to join us where we were seated together, at the Lady Luck. Beverly had long red flowing hair, like her brother and sister. Recognition dawned on me, before Amber could make an introduction.
"You!"
"You've already met?" Amber asked.
I told her about our encounter on Anaxous IV, and how she left me helpless, by taking my clothing and blaster.
"l remember Tanya telling me about it. She made you wear one of her skintight jumpsuits, pink I believe it was, back to your ship." Amber giggled.
"Had I'd known you were to be my brother in law, as well as being so handsome, I would gladly have given you the second tumble you asked for, free of charge. It's not too late... oh but you are marrying my sister later today. No hard feelings Nathaniel, or are there?" She said as her hand found my crotch.
I offered to buy her and Sultan a drink. I got her one of those green drinks that Tanya likes and a spiced rum for Sultan. Before bringing them their drinks I ground up and slipped three of Sultan's sex pills into each drink, and a sedative to make them sleepy.
"Amber, could you get hold of some wedding rings?" I whispered.
With a knowing smile she replied, "l have just the rings." She disappeared to retrieve her old wedding rings. When she returned we slipped the rings on their fingers.
"We have a double wedding to attend," I said.
"l have a cargo dolly waiting outside," Amber said.
"Good thinking."
We half carried and dragged Sultan and Beverly to the waiting dolly and pushed them to the promenade, where Red was waiting to perform the ceremony.
"Red, do you mind making this a double wedding?" I asked.
Seeing the passed out Sultan and his sister, he burst out laughing.
"Amber, are you okay with this?"
"l am dying to get a little revenge."
"Is this your idea, or Nathaniel's?"
"We thought of it together, each doing our own part to make hap
pen. We didn't speak about, or plan, their wedding, it just sort of happened."
Red spoke to his comlink, "Minerva record and document the following proceedings."
"Last chance Nathaniel," he laughed.
Red started the wedding ceremony. "The exact words are lost in time. Documenting and recording the proceedings is what counts. With that being said, do you Nathaniel take my sister Amber, Tanya, and Natasha to be your wives, to not cheat on them, and keep them happy, to the end of time?"
"Damn right I do."
"Do you Sultan, take my sister Beverly to be your wife, to endure her, and suffer the consequences of marriage with her, for all eternity?"
"Speaking on behalf of Sultan, he does," I said.
"Do you Amber, Tanya, and Natasha take this pirate Nathaniel, to be your husband, to do with what you will, to the end of time?"
"We do," the girls said.
"Do you Beverly, take this horn dog that is Sultan, to be your cheating husband, not complaining about it, for all eternity?"
"Speaking on behalf of my sister Beverly, she does," Amber replied.
"l now pronounce you husbands and wives. You can get to consummating this union, if you ain't already." Red said, not being able to contain his laughter any longer.
The witnesses applauded and cheered us. Before we could go and do happy things there was one more thing to take care of. We brought Sultan and Beverly aboard the Lucy, and took them to Sultan's Pleasure Palace. We moved them into his work room, undressed them, and placed them in bed together. I placed a printout of their marriage certificate on the vanity where it would be noticed. We took all their clothing, then headed to our suite aboard the Revenge. Satisfied with our handy work, I suggested we get busy consummating our wedding. Besides, I was wearing a sheer white bikini brief, that I was sure the girls would love.
Red called us the next day. "l got a wedding present for you. The chief is installing a 20 megawatt laser on your foredeck. I think you may find it useful. I was told by a young blond lady, who fancies you, that when Beverly and Sultan woke up, they spent some serious time consummating their wedding before realizing they were married. They don't have any recollection of getting married. They are clueless as to how they ended up in Sultan's Pleasure Palace, or what happened to there clothing. She isn't, what I would call being happily married, and she might be a bit upset about their lack of clothing. Their wedding was documented and recorded with the archives first thing. Somehow it got through the system without going through the 30 day waiting period in case they decided against being married, so they are legally bound and cannot break their vows until one of them is dead."
We all clapped and cheered, thanking Red for the wonderful news.
Beverly was next to call us. She wanted to know if we could fill in some of the blanks, in her memory. The last thing she remembered was having a drink with us, and Sultan. Amber told her, "After a few of drinks, you and the Sultan were all over each other. Beverly, it was you who proposed to the Sultan. Not wanting to waste any time, you asked Nathaniel if he would mind making our wedding a double ceremony. Right after the wedding, you and your husband disappeared, leaving a trail of clothing behind, in a hurry to celebrate your long awaited union."
"Amber, you don't think anyone will slip up and tell her?" I asked.
"Nathaniel, my crew are very loyal to me. They won't say anything different, I promise."
Natty said, "Hey, it's my turn to be tied up!"
Chapter 27
"Captain Roberts, the repairs to your ship are complete. It is ready for a shake down cruise," the maintenance chief said.
"It looks like we will be working together for the foreseeable future, so call me Nathaniel."
"Nathaniel, call me Mike," he said offering his hand.
I gladly shook the chiefs hand, as we started the tour of inspection. Mike led me to a view port where I could see the ships exterior.
"I had to remove the forward section of your keel. it was to badly damaged to repair. I used a section of the salvaged cruisers keel to replace the damaged portion of your ship's keel. It has been spliced and plated, in such a way, that it is as strong or stronger than the original section. They haven't made armor as heavy as your ship's armor, in about 200 years. I striped the armor from the forward third of your ships hull. Then I double plated it with overlapping sections armor I from the salvaged cruiser. It is now stronger than original." I inspected the ship from the view port admiring his work.
"The ship looks beautiful from here."
The chief pointed to the newly mounted weapon. "The laser that Red gave you came from a much larger ship, probably a dreadnought. It draws so much power that I had to install a cut out circuit, to power it. Your particle beam weapons will not be available, when the laser is being fired. However, that laser will be able to cut through almost any armor except for ablative armor. It should give you an advantage in battle.
"The repulsorlift engines have been rebalanced to compensate for the change of center of gravity," the chief explained.
The chief led me to a docking tube where we were able to enter the ship, and continue the inspection tour. The first thing I noticed was that everything in view looked clean, shiny, and like new. Even the air smelled clean, lacking the smell of disinfectants.
He lead me to the forward missile launchers. "The missile tracks have been replaced, and your missiles have been upgraded to Hunter Seeker Mark IIs. They are normally only available to the military, but Red has connections." Next he lead me to the bridge. "The exterior sensor arrays have been replaced, and your ECM package was updated to improve efficiency."
"Natasha, how do you feel?" the chief asked the ships AI.
"Purr, purr, purr, the chief has me purring like a kitten."
We headed to decks 3 through 6 where we had hull damage, structural damage to the bulkheads, and severed power feeds. Mike explained that he had to replace the hull plating. He also had to remove the collapsed bulkheads and fabricate new bulkheads. He removed the patched power conduit and replaced it with new power feeds. Looking at his repairs, I couldn't tell where the damage had been. The bulkheads looked new and original to the ship.
I signed the acceptance sheets on Mikes comp, still overwhelmed by the amount and quality of the work.
"Mike what do I owe you for the repairs?" I asked, afraid I wasn't going to be able to afford them. "Its a first rate job."
"You don't owe me anything."
He went on to explain that after Red got the repairs started, he was able to convince the system governor to pick up the tab. He told the governor that it would be wise to make a small investment in me. Red told him that since you arrived in this system, the space station has returned to operational status, with more traders and workers arriving everyday. He further told the governor that trade with neighboring systems has resumed. Red also explained that you were responsible for diminishing the Crimson Tide's ability to operate in this sector. He was already getting a return on his investment, and would likely continue to do so, providing that you could be convinced to stick around. Especially since you married his favorite niece.
Chapter 28
"Tanya, recall all crew members. We depart tomorrow morning for a shake down cruise."
"Aye, aye Captain, a general recall has been initiated."
"Cappy, my sister looks all clean and shiny," Natasha said.
"She even purrs like a kitten," I informed her.
"Purr, purr, purr." Natasha purred doing her best to mimic a kitten. Natasha giggled with her sisters attempt at humor.
There was little to do while we waited for our crew and officers to board the ship. Amber suggested that we all dance.
Amber started moving seductively to the music. She was wearing sheer white harem pants and a matching bikini top. Her outfit left little to the imagination, showing a lot of leg. My eyes were attracted to her legs, working their way up from her ankles. Without realizing it, I had moved closer to her, matching her movements, with the rhythm of the music.
Tanya and Natty joined in dancing to either side of me. Natty dimmed the lights adding to the seductive atmosphere. All three women pressed and rubbed their bodies against mine.
"We can bump and touch all we want now that we are married." Tanya teased.
She demonstrated by slipping her hand inside my shirt and rubbing my chest, while she nibbled and kissed my neck. Natty matched Tanya's moves pinning me between them. Both girls were wearing black slinky dresses with plenty of exposed skin. My imagination was running wild, visualizing their bodies where gaps in material revealed naked flesh.
"Tanya and I are being naughty. We are not wearing any panties," Natty whispered in my ear, while nibbling it.
I placed my hands on her thighs, slowly working my way up her legs. Suddenly, the lights came on as Randolph and Kim entered the bridge, spoiling the mood. Amber, Tanya, and Natty laughed at my disappointment.
"Randolph, couldn't you have waited just a few more minutes before coming to the bridge?" I was about to... "
"Captain, the bridge is no place for hanky-panky with your ladies."
I could try arguing that but it would be a waste of time. Randolph had little experience, and no imagination. At least Kim was looking better. The girls went all the way on her. They worked on her hair, nails, make up, and clothing, doing a complete make over. She was transformed from a frumpy geek, into a hot blond chick that de Tomcat would like to get to know a little better. She was wearing a red party dress and heels. The dress accented her body showing curves where none had been before. As I stared at her, I began to visualize her without clothing.
