“Yes sir.”

  “Second, I want to say thank you. I owe you my life.”

  She looked up and smiled at him. “No sir, I was just paying back the favor!”

  “Well, be that as it may, Master Chief Wallace has recommended you for the Navy Cross, and I have approved and forwarded it to the Captain.”

  “Thank you sir!” She said beaming at him.

  “You’re welcome Petty Officer Tempe.”

  “I’m sorry sir. I’m just a Specialist.”

  “Not any more. As of today, you’re Petty Officer Second Class Tempe. So get your ass out of that specialist’s jump suit and into one with the proper rank on it!”

  “Oh My God!” She screamed as she practically launched herself over the desk at him. “Thank you….thank you… thank you!” She cried out between kisses, knocking him clean out of the chair and onto the deck.

  “Easy, I didn’t do it, the Captain did!” Matt said

  “I don’t care!” She cried, kneeling over him and unzipping her jump suit. “This certainly warrants a celebration, and I have wanted to do this for a long time!” She pushed the material off her shoulders and unsnapped her bra, tossing it aside.

  “Slow down girl!” Matt said grabbing her arms as she started to stand up to push down her jump suit. “First off this isn’t appropriate, and second off, I’m engaged.”

  Tempe sat back down on top of him, remaining still for a long time, her face turning from a bright radiant smile to a tearful frown. “Someone told me that, but I didn’t believe it.” She said as the first tear silently slid down her cheek.

  “It’s true.” Matt said, helping her stand up off of him, getting up himself.

  “Is she good to you?” Tempe asked as she pulled her jump suit back up, sticking her arms into it.

  “Yes she is.” Matt said as he bent over and picked up her bra and held it out to her.

  He watched as she zipped her jump suit up and then she reached for his hands and pushed them aside as she stepped closer to him until her material covered chest was pressing against his. She tilted her face up to his and lifted herself on her toes until her lips touched his. She kissed him gently before stepping away and walking quietly out of the office, leaving him to toss her bra on the desk before he dropped heavily into the chair. “This is going to be difficult.” He said to himself as he leaned back and began to wonder how many women he was going to upset in the next few days.

  It was nearly lunch time when Forester walked back into the office.

  “So did she like her promotion?”

  “You could say that.” Matt said

  “Did she wear you out?”

  Matt looked up at her.

  “I hear she’s a real active one in bed. Loves to scream and loves to sixty-nine.”

  “I wouldn’t know.” He said looking back down at the screen.

  “Oh really?” She teased, picking the bra up off the desk and twirling it on her finger. “Looks to me like she forgot something.”

  “Nothing happened.” Matt said somewhat crossly

  “So did you save anything for me?”

  “I didn’t know I was supposed to.” Matt said

  “Well, in that case.” She said, stepping around to the side of the desk and pushing the keyboard away so she could sit on the edge of the desk in front of him, her legs spread on either side of his.

  “You can have this one for your collection.” She said coyly. As she unzipped her jump suit to her waist, pulling the material apart enough display her white lacy bra.

  “Subtle Forester, really subtle.” Matt said, looking at her.

  “I wasn’t trying to be subtle; I was trying to get fucked.” She retorted pushing the jump suit the rest of the way off her shoulders. “Now you can do whatever you want with me.”

  Matt stood up and gently pulled the jump suit back up her arms and slowly zipped it up. “Not that I don’t appreciate the offer, but I thought we went through this once before.”

  “A girl can still hope. As I understand it you’re going to be off the market pretty soon and I really wanted to be with you at least one more time before that happens.”

  “Sorry Forester. I’m already off the market.” Matt said to her pouting face. “But when it comes to friends, I number you as one of my closest.” He said leaning forward and giving her a kiss on the forehead. “Now how about letting me get some work done?”

  “What a spoil sport.” She said standing up and kissing his cheek. “I’ll let you work then.” She said as she headed out the door.

  He was on the tail end of the lunch period, but he had gotten a lot of work done once Forester had left him alone. He hadn’t seen Forester that aggressive about sex as long as he had known her, and after Tempe tried to take him right there on the office floor he had to admit he was turned on by the directness. He was still lost in thought as he loaded some food on his plate. He found an empty table, which wasn’t hard, and settled in to eat.

  “Well, Mister Molter! Care for some company?” Matt heard. He looked up to see the dark skinned Lieutenant Kispan standing next to him with a tray.

  “Susanne! How are you? I haven’t seen you in a while.”

  “Not since you made it out of the hospital.” She said quietly as she sat down across from him.

  “I hear I have you to thank for the shuttle ride back in.”

  “Yes, and Sparks, she volunteered us.”

  “Well, thank you.” Matt said as he ate his food.

  “How would you like to thank me a bit more personally?” She said, slowly pulling down the zipper of her jump suit until a pink bra clasp showed. “We can get a zero G gym for an hour or so…I mean, there’s thank you and then there’s thank you.” She said huskily as she toyed with the front clasp “These are all yours for the whole hour if you want, and I can tell you that my panties are already soaked just thinking about it.”

  “How can I turn down an offer like that?”

  “I was hoping you’d say that.” She said, flicking the clasp open, letting the material pull away from view inside her jump suit.

  “But I’m going to have to.”

  “Are you sure?” She said pulling her zipper down a bit farther and spreading the gap so he could see a bit more of her mostly bare chest.

  “You really want to show all that off in here?”

  “Oh, I’m not worried. If they want to join us they’re welcome to come along.”

  “I think I’m going to have to take a rain check just the same.” Matt said, going back to work on his food.

  “Well, if you change your mind, let me know, I’m always available for you.” She said as she gently rubbed one of her fingers up and down the bare skin between her breasts, gently sucking on the other seductively. “Besides, I know some really interesting tricks that only work in zero g.”

  “Thanks Suzanne, but I really will have to take a rain check.” He said, trying hard to will his growing bulge back down to size.

  “If you say so stud.” She said quietly as she got up and leaned across the table, kissing him softly on the cheek, making sure her jump suit gapped enough for him to see at least one of her bare breasts through the still open zipper. Matt shook his head as he watched her walk out of the mess, wiggling her hips and looking over her shoulder at him, inviting him to follow.

  It had been a long and sex charged day when Matt made it back to his quarters. He was starting to consider asking the Captain for those private quarters so he and Jenny would get some private time. What he got instead was Susie and Patty hard at it in the room, Jenny apparently not back from duty yet.

  “Oh sorry.” Matt said as he stepped into the room.

  “No need to leave.” Suzi said, leaning back, pulling a long silver bullet shaped vibrator from inside Patty. “You got a lot better tool than this.” She finished waving the vibrator at Matt. Patty was reclining back on one of the top bunks, completely naked, one hand busy squeezing one of her massive tits, and the other stroking her exposed pussy,
while Suzi slipped out of the bunk, stepping over to him and pulling the zipper down on his coveralls.

  “Sorry ladies, but I’ve been spoken for.” Matt said, not trying to stop Suzi, his overloaded mind and senses taking over from his intellectual side.

  “Oh that’s no fun.” Patty said from the top bunk. “I was just starting to get ready for that big stick of yours.”

  “Not to worry, I can get any man up and hard.” Suzi said as she pushed his jump suit off his shoulders. She held his hands and pulled him back over to the bunk where Patty was reclining and sat on the bunk directly under her. She pulled the jump suit and underwear the rest of the way down and then went to work on his hardening flag. Patty scooted herself around on the top bunk so that he was looking directly at her exposed lips.

  “You can get busy if you want. I know how good you are with that magic tongue.” Patty said as she continued to stroke herself inches from his face.

  With the work that Suzi was doing below his waist it wasn’t long before Matt was more than interested in reciprocating with Patty. Suzi didn’t waste any time either. Once she had him fully hard she turned herself around, kneeling on the edge of the bunk and pushed herself over him, feeling him fill her all the way.

  “Oh Suzi! That’s no fair!” Patty called from the top bunk, once she realized from his motions what had to be happening down below.

  “Don’t worry!” Susie called up to her between cries of pleasure. “I’ll save you some!”

  “You better!” Patty cried just before she climaxed.

  By the time Jenny made it back to her quarters, both Patty and Susie were laying on their bunks satisfied and still naked. It was pretty obvious to Jenny that they had been well screwed; she just didn’t realize that it had been by Matt until he came out of the bathroom, freshly showered and still naked.

  “Well, it looks like my roommates warmed you up for me. I hope you saved some for me.”

  Matt stepped over to her feeling quite guilty. “I’m sorry Jenny, I don’t know what happened.” He said quietly.

  “I know what happened… My two horny roommates had fun while I was working. Now it’s my turn mister, and I expect you to perform.” She said with a mock sternness as she punctuated her statement with a finger in his bare chest.

  “You’re not mad?” He asked with a confused look on his face.

  “Mad? At what, my roommates getting to you before I did?”

  “No me being unfaithful.” He said quietly.

  “Is that what you think? You were being unfaithful to me? That’s sweet, but let’s be realistic. There are over a hundred women on this ship and only seventy two men, and you’re far more popular than most of them. So if I get a third of you I feel like I’m doing good. I have no reason at all to believe that you could even begin to fend off all the advances that you’re going to be faced with. All I ask is that you save love making for me. Just plain sex I don’t care about, as long as you’re not too worn out to make love with me that is.” She said pulling him close to her and giving him her most seductive kiss. “Now how about you and me find a nice bunk to snuggle up in and have some serious love making? I really need to feel you deep inside me.”

  “Yes ma’am.” Matt whispered as he unzipped her white jump suit and let it fall to the deck, not caring that both of her roommates were watching them.

  Matt walked up to the Captains quarters the next morning and pressed the button.

  “Come.” The Captain said as the door slid open

  “Morning ma’am.”

  “Good morning, Lieutenant. What can I do for you?”

  “Ma’am, do you remember offering me private quarters?”

  “I certainly do. I take it that sharing a room with three women has finally gotten the better of you?”

  “Well, yes and no ma’am.”

  “Really? Explain Lieutenant.”

  ‘Well ma’am, it’s kind of distracting to try to have a relationship with one woman and have her share me with her roommates.”

  “So what you really want is a room with her, away from her roommates?”

  “Actually, yes ma’am.”

  “Lieutenant. Let me explain. When we’re out of high V this woman may very well not want anything to do with you anymore. In the meantime, we have been at high V longer than any other ship on record, and it has provided the medical directorate with some very interesting data. There are almost two women for each man on this ship, and you are more in demand than most for some reason. Now I can give you that room if you want, but for the moral of the ship, I have to ask you to not suddenly become monogamous. It might start rioting.”

  “Well ma’am, it seems that a number of the women can’t keep their hands off of me.”

  “Have you noticed that you don’t have much trouble keeping up?”

  “Actually, yes ma’am, I had noticed, that.”

  “According to the doctor, the same effect that has been hitting the female members of the crew has started to hit the male members as well. Increased libido and, if you’ll pardon the expression, staying power, are just the first of the signs. I don’t see this ending soon. We will be at high V for at least four more of our weeks. So, I will grant your request for a single room.”

  “Thank you ma’am.”

  “You’re welcome. Lieutenant. Now, how did Petty officer Tempe like her promotion?”

  “You could say she was extremely happy about it.”

  “I’m not surprised. That’s all Lieutenant, unless you have anything else.”

  “Nothing else ma’am.” Matt said as he turned and retreated out the door. He headed down to the Infirmary and told Jenny about the new quarters and invited her to join him there.

  “What about Suzi and Pats?”

  “What about them?”

  “You’re not going to freeze them out, are you?”

  “Not if you don’t want me to.”

  “No, I don’t. I don’t mind sharing you with my friends, and I certainly can’t stop my good looking shipmates from trying to have some of you as well.”

  “You’re sure that’s how you want it.”

  “It is!” She said leaning toward him to give him a gentle kiss on the lips. “But I like the idea of the Commanders old quarters. This gives us a lot bigger bed.” She said with a giggle.

  Chapter 14 – Life around the Sun

  After six weeks orbiting the sun at quarter light speed, life had settled into a routine. The girls were always looking for action and the guys, single or married, were happy to oblige, and Matt was no exception. He had a regular following of not less than ten women that seemed to be happy to take turns sharing him, but he was still most happy spending his free time with Jenny. Given the five to one compression experienced by the crew, Fleet had over six months to work out how to get enough fuel to the Saint Claire to break orbit, which wasn’t a simple problem. At the speed they were moving, they orbited the sun just under once every ten minutes running less than 5 million kilometers from the surface. The intense radiation at these close distances drastically taxed all the ships systems.

  The object, or creature, or whatever it really was seemed to have no problem changing its orbit, zooming down to less than two million kilometers from the surface to zip through the remnants of a CME, and then back out as far as eight or ten million kilometers, presumably to cool back off.

  Matt was sitting in an officers meeting in the captain’s quarters, waiting to hear what Fleet had come up with, Commander Emerson idly playing with the top of his leg under the table where she thought no one could see her. She clearly wanted to have some ‘special meeting’ time later.

  “Well ladies and gentleman. It seems fleet has come up with a plan to get us home. It means breaking off contact with the entity, but then there isn’t much we can do but watch anyway. Fleet has built a special tanker for us. I understand it’s a real hotrod. It has four times the engine thrust than we do and it will be completely automated, allowing it to do in excess of eigh
ty g maneuvers. They are launching it directly toward the sun, allowing it to build up thrust to match speed and orbit with us on a direct path approach. Since we’re too close to the sun for any real EVA operations, they are transferring us some software to control the tanker directly from our ship. We’re going to bring it within fifty meters of the side of the Saint Claire, allow four volunteers to exit from the bay in specially modified suits, Mister Molter I have the specs for your teams, then we’ll roll over to get our re-fueling ports on the right side and in the shadow of the tanker. Make a connection and fill our fuel tanks. Then comes the real fun. We’re going to flip over, putting our tail toward the flight path. Park the tanker with its modified nosecone in our ass, and then use the remainder of its fuel to give us a kick, pop it loose, and then drift our orbit out to fifty million clicks, doing a burn the whole way. We pick up a new tanker that will be waiting in Mercury orbit for us, re-fuel again and head home. Simple.”
