  Her very first kiss! Now she felt his tongue edge along the seam of her mouth. She opened to him and his tongue sank into her mouth. Heat ran over her skin as her tongue met his in a duel that she lost. Cool air hit her skin and she realized he’d removed her shirt. Maybe he was too skillful at this romance thing. Never the less, she didn’t want to stop. Everything he was doing felt too good.

  In the back of her brain the station ran just like it had too, but in the front of her mind, she was about to go all the way. Her hands ran over his muscled abs. His skin felt soft, but underneath his body was hard. She felt something hard pressing against her belly and she knew what is was. Patty moved one hand down and stroked his long thick length and he groaned.

  Maybe she was doing something right? Sliding her hand under his bottoms, she wrapped it around his staff and began to stroke. There was a drop of dew on the tip and she rubbed over it and felt him shiver. Teran was as sensitive to her touch as she was to his. He pulled on her and they fell to the bed.

  “Gods, you are so beautiful.” He whispered in her ear.

  He pressed down on her lightly as his mouth moved down her neck and over her chest. His tongue played with her nipple before his mouth swallowed it. He sucked on it and she felt moisture release between her legs. Her nipple ached when he finally turned it loose to suck on the other one.

  Patty felt hot and achy. His hand slid between her legs and a finger worked its way in her slick channel. “Yes!” She said because it felt good. Teran added a finger and finally a third one. She knew it was to stretch and prepare her.

  “Are you ready?” He asked.

  “Yes. Do it now.”

  He moved into position and slowly slid in. She spread her legs and tried to relax. Teran made it all the way in without any barrier. She’d read that sometimes they broke on their own, but it was more likely that the scientists had broken it during one of their many experiments or sample taking. At least it saved her some of the pain of the first time. It still pinched and stretched because he was large.

  Teran paused, just enjoying being inside her. “Are you okay?” He asked.

  “I am fine.”

  Moving now, slowly at first but steadily until she urged him on. “Faster.” She yelled.

  He sped up going faster each plunge. Before long he hammered into her no longer careful as he had been. She could feel something building. Before long her body buzzed, tense and ready to explode. It was almost scary since this was new and untried. It wasn’t long before she exploded all around him thrashing and clutching at him.

  “Hell!” She yelled completely out of her mind.

  She felt something hot spraying inside her as she realized he was thrashing and thrusting uncontrollably.

  “Gods!” Teran yelled. It seemed a favorite term of his. Once he stopped thrusting, he rolled over flopping on his back and groaned.

  “Are you alright?”

  “Mmm?”

  “Are you okay?” She was getting concerned. “Do you need the med bed?”

  “No, Sweetheart. That was just perfect. Now I just need to sleep.” And just like that he did.

  Patty felt good. She’d admit the sex had relaxed her and made it easier for her to sleep too. Maybe the good and plentiful food had added to it. Running through everything in her head to be sure nothing was needed, she set her alarms and went to sleep.

  It was about five hours later that she woke. The medical ship was here. It was combining this stop with a routine stop nearby for efficiency and to fit them in sooner than they could have otherwise. Once she saw Dick loaded and had the address and person to receive him listed, they took him away. They left through a door she’d bet Trevers had no idea was there. She was drinking a cup of coffee and eating breakfast when Trevers tried to get in her door.

  “I want in right now.” He demanded.

  “You don’t run this place, I do.”

  Trevers growled like a dog. “I’ll call the general manager.”

  “You do that. Tell him you had an illegal fight with a champion you brought in and one of the employees you forced to fight.”

  “You can’t prove that.” Immediately vids began to play including the one where he brought Dick in to fight.

  “You bitch.”

  “You think your opinion of me matters to me or anyone else?” She asked.

  “You can’t be around to watch lover boy all the time.”

  “That’s where you’re wrong. His new duties are in this part of the station now. You can find a replacement.”

  Trevers stomped off cussing and screaming. That certainly didn’t look pretty. Not that Trevers had ever been pretty or even nice. He was born bad and just got worse. Maybe their backup would come before things got too bad. Not that she, Ladonna, and Teran couldn’t live back here indefinitely. They could, it would just not be as nice as it usually was. They would have to fix their own food and she wasn’t a good cook and Ladonna only thought she was.

  Maybe she shouldn’t have pissed Trevers off just yet. Oh, hell. It was too late now. Everyone he was around would probably pay. She sent Ladonna a warning and saw her immediately coming down the hall.

  “Okay. Spill!” Ladonna demanded.

  “What?”

  “How was sex the first time?”

  “It was wonderful.”

  “Would you do it again?”

  “Yes and again.” Patty admitted.

  “That good, huh?”

  “It was.”

  “What happened with Trevers?”

  “I think he knows Dick left here.”

  “Why would he care?”

  “Beats me, but he seemed mad. He threatened Teran so I told him he works for me now.”

  “I bet that went over big. Did you order me breakfast too?” Ladonna asked.

  “That’s for you and Teran.” She said as she pointed to two covered trays.

  Patty reached down and flipped a switch. “Thank goodness. I hate acting.”

  “It wasn’t like real acting.”

  “You’re not even sure he’s listening in.”

  “No, but I’m sure he can’t now. Trevers got that one bug in here somehow. We’ve been putting on a show for him for years and now you want to stop? It’s a tradition. We do it whenever we want him to know something and he always seems to find out. That tells me the damn thing still works.” Patty explained.

  “What are you two ladies discussing?” Teran asked.

  “Oh, dear gods.” Ladonna said as she stared at his bare chest. “I want one.”

  “He’s the only one here right now. You have to wait.” Patty insisted.

  “Do you have any brothers?” Ladonna asked.

  “I do and cousins. I also work with a lot of males of my kind.” Teran admitted.

  “I’m going with you when you leave. It’ll be like Christmas.” Ladonna observed.

  “What does an old Earth holiday have to do with meeting my friends?” Teran asked.

  “They’ll be like presents for me.” Ladonna explained with a giggle.

  “You got it bad.” Patty accused.

  “Me, what about you?” Ladonna asked with a glance at Teran.

  “Oh, by the way.” Patty cast a sidewise look at Teran. “You work for me now.”

  “What?” Teran asked.

  “Trevers and I got in a fight. He threatened you so I told him you work for me now.” Patty explained.

  “I can’t stop working for him.” Teran insisted.

  “Why not? You’ll still be on the station. Besides, he might kill you. He’s killed guards before.” Patty explained.

  “I’m supposed to keep working for him until I get the information dealt with.” Teran said looking nervously at Ladonna.

  “They know everything now.” Patty said with a shrug of her shoulders. “I already sent vids and information to Justice. He knows Dick is arriving tomorrow too. I also gave him several ways to reach me if he needs it.”

  “You did what? I’m supposed to
be his only contact.” Teran said.

  “He’s alright about it. I explained what happened with Dick and you with the fight. He understood you couldn’t get to your com. I told him Ladonna and I picked up the transmission but we didn’t tell anyone. He was appreciative that we kept it secret. Justice said he has all he needs and for me to keep you safe until he gets here.” Patty explained.

  “I guess it’s okay because it has to be.” Teran mumbled.

  Chapter 5

  Surprises

  He couldn’t believe Patty had done all that. The guys were going to tease his mercilessly. She done most of his job once he’d gotten in contact with her anyway. This would probably be his only chance to go undercover and he’d blown it. Not the mission, it would be a success once the guys got here, but the job itself since she’d done it all.

  Looking at her he started to remember last night and all he could do was grin. She looked up and turned a delicious pink. He just wanted to eat her up. Meeting her had made this whole mission worthwhile. It was because of her that this mission would be an incredible success. Patty probably had more information on what was left of the labs than anyone else.

  Maybe he’d get an opportunity to go under cover again on some different mission not dealing with the labs. Maybe on Earth where all kinds of things were happening lately. Maybe he could even go undercover with Patty. If she went over to the good side with Ladonna, nothing but the best could come of it.

  Yeah, he should be in the best of moods because he’d uncovered two people that would make his side unbeatable. He’d also thought he’d discovered his mate. The draw he felt to her just seemed to grow. She was gorgeous and unbelievable. Even Ladonna would make a perfect mate for one of his brothers.

  Justice would get the guys around quickly and depending on where they were, they should be here in a few days. “You’re right. We’ll work around this. Since Trevers knows nothing, he’ll be biding his time trying to get to you. Won’t he?”

  “That, or he’ll try to make up. He’s done this before. He may be jealous because you got back here. He’s tried but never managed.” Ladonna suggested.

  “Could be that, but he was certainly angry. He was probably told Dick got away. He usually kills the old champions.” Patty observed.

  “Are you kidding?” Teran asked. Both females turned to look at him. Ladonna shook her head.

  “Have you not figured out yet how evil Trevers is?” Patty asked.

  “I realize he’s cruel, but I’ve not been around long enough to see evil except for him forcing the champ to fight.” Teran observed.

  “He made several million credits and he only gives Dick a place to stay here and puts him down as a guard so it costs him nothing. He didn’t pay you either. When guards have died infights, he just gets rid of the bodies and says they quit and left.” Ladonna said.

  “He’ll be arrested if you can prove the things he’s done.” Teran suggested.

  “I have him on tape. You’ve also forgotten his drug distributing.” Patty pointed out.

  “You’re right. So much has happened since, but the drugs never arrived so we can’t use that instance. We’ll have to hope an investigation yields more.” Teran declared.

  “Meanwhile we have time to kill. I already have the vids running to find anything usable against Trevers. Why don’t we watch some old Earth movies?” Patty asked.

  “If you want to. Can you enjoy movies while you’re going through vids?” Teran asked.

  “I can. Let’s have some smash ‘em up and grab’ em movies.” Patty said.

  Unsure what they were, he went along with it. They turned out to be some movies with explosions, fast cars, and a lot of sex. He couldn’t deny he liked them. Teran even enjoyed the popcorn with lots of butter Ladonna made. They had hot dogs, potato salad, and pork and beans for lunch. Patty assured him it was appropriate fare for a fun day like the one they were having.

  After lunch, they played poker. It was similar to Tres Kings, a game from Oison that he played with the other crew members when he was on ship. Patty was an ace at the game and won almost every hand. Ladonna took it well, but at least she won every once in a while.

  “Shouldn’t I have some beginners luck?” He asked.

  “That’s a fantasy. There’s no such thing.” Ladonna said.

  “Not here at any rate.” Teran said.

  “You want to play checkers? It’s an Earth game.” Ladonna asked.

  “I know checkers.” He admitted although he didn’t expect to win at it either.

  There was something uncanny about these two females. He was smart, very smart, but they were beyond normal geniuses. Brilliant might be a good term. The checkers went as he expected except Ladonna won more he thought she would. She even said it was her favorite game and she played it anytime she got a chance.

  “I have it set up on my computer.” She’d admitted.

  “At least you can use it to fight boredom.” He’d replied.

  “We never get bored. This station gives us challenges all the time.” Patty admitted.

  “How can you run this whole station from this room?” Teran asked.

  Suddenly a bank of screens dropped and there were scenes from all over the station but especially from the spots that dealt with travelers or had guards. “We see most of what goes on even when we wish we didn’t have to.” Patty informed.

  “The station is kept running in the black and provides for occasional extras for us and the kids. Employees of the station are paid well and get bonuses as well time off.” Ladonna explained.

  “We order all supplies and everything needed for the hotel, restaurants, stores that we run, and the labs. It gives us plenty to do.” Patty admitted.

  “How did you learn to do all this?” Teran wondered.

  “We started out running the labs when we were twelve. The food was awful, so we made some changes then selected new hires and so on until we ran that. Our hotel manager robbed the station blind, when they were caught, it was dropped on us. Same with the stores, until we had everything. Everything except the guards and the testing itself. We are both great managers. It’s in our blood.” Ladonna said.

  “What will you do if the station ends up shut down?” Teran asked.

  “Why would it? Only a small portion is illegal and we have enough money put back to buy it if it comes up for sale. There are employees that count on their jobs to support their families. Shutting it down wouldn’t be right.” Patty explained.

  “Maybe even illegal.” Ladonna added.

  All he knew was the stations owned by the labs had all been shut down once the criminals had been captured and the victims removed. “We’ve shut down all but one station. It was owned independently and the owner assisted us once he was aware of what was occurring.”

  “We’re helping you.” Patty pointed out.

  “But you don’t own this place.”

  “Not yet, but we’re victims entitled to reparations.” Ladonna explained.

  “I agree with you two, but I have no say.”

  “Don’t worry. We have papers ready to file once you raid the place. We’ve also sent Justice an alert as to the actions we’ll be taking. I believe the children wish to stay and we’ll also file for custody.” Patty said.

  “Sounds like a plan. Maybe you should go after some of the other stations as well.” Teran suggested.

  “What do you mean?” Ladonna asked.

  “There are a handful of stations closed up owned by the labs that were abusing people. They were using them for experiments. We freed them and shut down the stations. You could claim them by paying some reparation to the victims. Then you’d have a chain of stations across the galaxy. Mazlan ships would give you business for sure.” He explained.

  “We could.” Patty said looking at Ladonna.

  “What’s the closest one?” Ladonna asked.

  “There’s one not far on the way back to Earth. We went by it and it looked sad.” Teran said. It would help
the Mazlans to have more places to stop on the long trips. “Have you heard from Justice?”

  “Yes, he said hang on a few more days. He’ll be here in person.” Ladonna said. “He has a sexy voice. Too bad he’s mated.”

  “You ask him?” Teran wondered.

  “Only way to find out.” Ladonna said. “Hey there’s a news broadcast.”

  “This is Danika at Eye in the Sky News Source.”

  “And this is Geff her partner reporter. We are hearing rumors that the Mazlans are once again getting involved to stomp out illegal activities on some of the stations and on Earth.”

  “Just to remind everyone, not long ago, Cash, that hot mercenary that works with Razar our favorite sexy Mazlan, has been hunting down some illegal labs that have been experimenting on children and unwilling guinea pigs. Apparently, that wasn’t as over as we all assumed it to be. Another lab went down a few week ago and we’re just now finding out about it because those naughty boys didn’t share.” Danika observed. “We’re sending you to a word from our sponsors. Kitty Kat love potion will make your female frisky. Let them know you love our show! See you next time.” Danika blew a kiss at the camera.

  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  “What do you think of Danika?” Patty asked.

  “I wish she would mind her own business.” Teran said.

  “But the public has the right to know.” Ladonna said,

  “That’s fine when she’s not ruining your investigation. Now Trevers will be nervous. People could die.” Teran pointed out.

  “People could die anyway.” Patty observed.

  “Some usually do, but why risk more dying?” He asked.

  “What of the public’s right to know?” Ladonna asked.

  “Compare that to the right of those living to stay that way.” He challenged.

  “What of afterwards?” Ladonna asked.

  “Information is always given once it is done. The problem is with these labs and other missions some go on and on.” He admitted.

  “I see your point. Poor Danika is just wanting the one story that will get her to a major news stations.” Patty observed.
