Chapter 13 - Training and Waiting

Well, the trip had now become a bit of a nightmare of routine and training. Ruth and her minions continued to roam the halls, but as the other households remained locked up in their pods, frustrations seemed to boil over, and fighting broke out in the hallways more than once ringing out and being heard even through the pod doors. The AI reported that no permanent injuries were inflicted, but fear hung over the inhabitants of the blue and green rings like a cloud.

For those of us under siege the only welcome news came when Captain Nelson reported that due to an urgent need for the Wisp to assist recovery operations at a colony which had been overrun by the Sa'arm, the ship would be increasing its velocity and reducing the remaining travel time to Ishtar to two more weeks, although they did warn that the strain on the engines was a danger at this velocity. This prospect of freedom from the pods was a welcome relief to those I talked with via the AI link.

Brittany had also joined the family fully. The first night was very hard on her. I insisted that she share the master bedroom, but gave her a nightgown and told her that as long as she wore it, everyone would respect her wish not to participate, but that removing it signaled that she wanted to join in. That first night Tina and Janice both pulled out all the stops when it came to riding me, and their open sexuality and lust shocked Brittany. She was most surprised when Meiko pulled me onto her for a long and slow lovemaking late in the night, and I smiled the next morning when I saw that Brittany's nightgown was pulled up to barely cover her breasts.

The ladies had all caught on to my plan and proceeded to tease Brittany with every move. If I sat down, Brittany soon wound up sitting in my lap. If she tried to hide from us, one or more ladies would go find her and bring her back, kissing her with every step. They even made her compete with Tina in some reading contests, and when, as planned, Tina lost by a point, they threw Tina onto the couch and used their tongues to make her scream with pleasure as Brittany sat there staring, with lust in her eyes.

Then came the night as we got ready for bed that Bethany pulled me aside after undressing. "She's ready," she whispered to me. "She's so wet with arousal that I'm surprised that Yvette can't smell it. We just have to get her to ask you for it."

"How should we do that?" I asked with a smile as I teased Bethany's nipples with my hands.

She moaned. "Damn it! Just wait for bed. It's going to be easy. Tonight you'll take me from behind, but do it very slow and loving. Don't listen to my cries for it to be harder and faster immediately. Make me beg for it. The goal is to get Brit to see that you are only worried about having her cumming again and again."

I laughed and gave Bethany a kiss. "I can do that, but."

She gave me a look. "What is this but?"

I smiled. "I just want to tell you, that I love you very much and tomorrow morning you and I go into the shower and you ride me for your own pleasure. Don't try to make me cum, but give yourself as many orgasms as you can."

Bethany laughed loudly and wrapped me up in a hug. I was wondering the cause when she whispered in my ear. "If I have fewer than six tonight, I'll do that, otherwise tomorrow I'll be trying to make you cum as hard as you ever will. I love you too."

Well, after that we walked into the bedroom to find Janice and Meiko already cuddling on the bed as Tina lay there and watched. Brittany was standing next to the bed holding her nightgown and for a moment I thought she would get into bed without it, but with considerable reluctance she lowered it over her body before enthusiastically jumping onto the bed and giving Tina a kiss.

"No fair," Tina replied as Brit climbed over her before lying on the bed. "I can't return it."

Brittany gave a cheerful laugh and broke out in to the biggest smile we had seen since her arrival in the pod. Janice noticed and winked at me as Bethany eased onto the bed.

As Brit watched the action Bethany raised up on her knees and wiggled her ass at me. "Come on lover," she vamped. "You have that wonderful tool. Show me just what it's all about."

I got onto the bed behind Bethany and slid my cock into her. Her pussy was soaked with her own arousal and I slid deep inside her without much effort, causing her to moan loudly. As I began to pump my cock into her, the heat and moistness of her pussy were turning me on greatly and I worried about cumming too quickly.

Tina must have sensed my worry because she sat up to whisper in my ear. "If you cum keep it quiet and just keep pumping. You'll get hard again quickly. Brit is very close to giving in, so do your best and tonight she'll become a full member of the family."

I did not nod, but kept up a slow rhythm of thrusts, each one bringing a louder and longer moan from Bethany. She clearly was turned on as she spoke between moans. "Damn James, we need to do this more often. You have the magic...ooooo... fuck me... just do me hard... fuck James that's so good... I've never had it this fucking good before... oh God, don't stop... harder... faster...Fuck, this is the best yet James...oh God... Fuck meeeeeee!"

I had come once early in the process, but remembered Tina's whisper and kept up my slow thrusts as my cock barely softened before stiffening again. Bethany was now having orgasm after orgasm around my cock, and I looked over to see that Brit's nightgown was pulled over her body and sat around her neck like a scarf. There was a last moment of indecision, and then she grabbed the nightgown and threw it over her head and off the bed, before crawling forward to give Bethany a passionate kiss that silenced her lustful screams of pleasure.

The sight was so hot that I released my emotions and came once again inside Bethany before slowly backing up and lying on the bed watching Tina and Janice kiss Brittany.

I moved around so that I was lying comfortably on the bed as my cock slowly came back to life. Tina and Janice led Brittany over, and I could see the combination of lust and fear in the young girl's eyes. She seemed ready to bolt when Meiko whispered. "Don't worry, James will be gentle and once you start, you'll never want to stop."

Brittany relaxed a little and Tina got her positioned just above my cock. She was smiling at me, but gave Brittany a few last instructions. "Now, the first thrust is going to hurt just a bit. Push yourself down on his cock hard, until he's all the way in, then rest while your pussy adjusts. Once you feel comfortable, trying moving around, you'll find that it comes naturally."

Janice gave a giggle and a kiss to Brittany just as the young girl dropped onto my stiffened cock and tore her virginity away. Brittany gave a hiss of pain and closed her eyes, but a moment later opened them and looks at me in awe. "It feels so right," she gasped.

Tina gave her another kiss and then positioned her pussy over my tongue. "It always does with James," she said as I slid my tongue along her pussy.

Brittany gasped once more and then I could feel her slowly begin to move her body up and down over my cock. Each time she came down she gave a little chirp of pleasure, a little hard to hear because of Tina's position, but soon she was riding me as hard and fast as Tina loved to. I was a bit surprised, but it was the words that truly shocked me. "Oh mom, you lied...this is so fucking wonderful...Why throw Dad out over this...Oh fuck me... I want this more...I love you James...Oh God, thank you... I love yoouuuuuu."

Brittany came with a loud scream of pleasure and fell forward as Tina quickly jumped out of the way. My arms wrapped around the now exhausted girl as her juices leaked out of her and onto my crotch. "Are you happy Brit?" I asked.

"No," she whispered. I was about to protest when she continued. "Happy is completely inadequate to explain how I feel now. I've never felt so loved, so free, so cared for, so safe! I'm sorry for doubting! I'm sorry, I was scared. All you did was keep your promises, and I love you James. I love all of you!"

The others laughed at Brittany held me close and fell asleep in my arms. As the others organized themselves around me Bethany took a moment to whisper in my ear. "Four big ones, ten little ones, and one last one when Brittany kissed me was so strong that I should have melted the bed. James are you trying to kill me with orgasms and love?" she finished by ruining her complaint by kissing me on the ear and giggling before joining the rest of us in our slumber.

The next morning Brittany insisted on awakening me with a tentative, but enthusiastic blowjob. The other ladies shared long and slow kisses with her afterwards as I got up and instructed the AI to provide the same outfit selection for her as the other ladies had. I then headed to the main room for breakfast as my ladies rolled out of bed and over to their morning showers. I was alone at the table when the AI chimed. "James, sponsor Yvette needs a moment to speak with you."

"Go ahead," I replied.

There was a pause and then Yvette spoke up. "James, we have some good news and then we have a major problem."

"A major problem?" I asked. "This doesn't sound very good."

Yvette gave a bitter laugh. "Well, let me tell you all. First, thanks to the hard work of Donna and Terrence, we now have the first names of all the sponsors we are hoping to have on our side of the barrier. We haven't gotten last names or figured out which ones have children, but we have managed to speak to all of them and get first names at least."

"It's a start," I replied. "Without a personal meeting it's going to be hard to get many of them to open up."

"Exactly," Yvette affirmed. "Unfortunately, that is where our problem comes in. Tasha, one of the ladies coming along, is an ex-girlfriend of Dennis, one of the ringleaders under Ruth. At least that is what she's claiming. Her little speech to Donna included loving recitals of his ability in bed, as well as clear indications that she trusts him and expects to meet with him often once we are on the planet. If she has the ability to open the defenses, she just might."

I sat there silently for several moments. "That's not good," I said when I finally spoke. "If she trusts him completely can we be sure that we can trust her? Ruth is going to want us to bow to her, and we cannot let her know everything. Actually I'm surprised she wasn't already part of their group. How did she end up designated as part of our group."

Yvette sighed. "I don't know, and all that worries me too. Tasha only seems somewhat trusting, as she has not let any of Ruth's friends into her pod, but she bragged about having long talks with Dennis, and swore that he's the best fuck she ever had. As for why she is with us, the girl is more timid than a mouse. Donna only got through to her because Tasha apparently recognized her name from a fashion magazine. If it wasn't for that, we might still not know her name."

I groaned. "I don't want to lose any members, but do we really want her in our territory? Right now I already know we are going to have to put limits on who can operate the doors, and Dennis still could try to exert some influence on her to get them opened. I really don't want to have to establish a rule where someone can't enter the armory because we don't trust them."

There were several long moments of silence and then I sighed. "I guess I could try something, but I doubt we'll get much."

"What?" Yvette replied.

"I could contact Dennis and Ruth directly and see if they give anything away. If this Tasha really is working for them, they just might give it away."

Yvette gave a bark of laughter and then cleared the line. My ladies were all looking at me and Bethany had a worried look. "Will you?" she started to ask.

I sighed. "If there is no way to be sure of her loyalty, we just might have to leave her outside the wall. It's too dangerous to have someone inside our corridors who we cannot trust."

I could see the other ladies nod as I called out to the AI. "AI, is it possible to connect to Dennis, but anonymously? He can know the call is from the pacifists, but not which one."

There was a short pause and then a very hostile voice spoke. "What you want, pansy?"

I kept my voice polite and humble, trying to sound like I was terrified to be talking to him. "I'm sorry to bother you, sir. But I was wondering what you and Ruth plan to do with us?"

I could hear the laughter of Dennis and at least three others. "Wouldn't the little chickie like to know? Well little chickie, what's wrong? Your diaper all damp 'cause you're scared?" the hostile tone from Dennis growled. "Tell you what little chickie. We need some help. We hear that some of the mice want to bell the cat. Why don't you find the leader and let us know who it is."

"Bell the cat? I know of no cat on board," I whimpered. "I just want to live."

The laughter grew even crueler. "We hear your little mice friends want to form some kind of protection group. Not that they'll stop us from taking all your concubines. You'll be working for us little mousey. But if you try, maybe we'll let you keep one concubine. Just so your balls don't turn green from disuse."

"But... my concubines... they're..." I whined.

"They're mine now, or Ruth's. She'll decide if you get to keep them. Besides I need a companion for Kitty. Come Kitty, tell him how much you love being mine," the voice growled.

There was a moment of silence and then the sound of a hand slapping bare skin rang out. There was a feminine cry of pain and then a broken girl spoke. "Dennis takes care of me. He's my master. My only master." The voice was emotionless and hollow and both Meiko and Brittany came over to get hugs as she spoke.

Dennis just laughed. "That's what's waiting for you and your concubines. If you want to avoid it, you better find out who leads the parade of mice. Be the big bad rat!"

The laughter continued until the signal cut out. I sighed and sat down for a moment. As I did I could see Bethany smiling. "They didn't know."

"Know what?" Tina asked.

Bethany snorted, but it was Janice who realized the situation. "Dennis didn't know who was in our council, or what we plan to do. It's like Tasha didn't tell him anything that could hurt us yet. He sounded like he honestly believes that they will be able to walk into the pods and take concubines away."

I nodded. "Either he doesn't know about our plan, or he's a great actor, and I get a feeling he isn't all that good of an actor. That suggests that Tasha either lied or exaggerated her friendship. He knew we were planning something, but even there it seems more like a guess. We have never had any part of the plan include any aggressive action, and the idea of putting a bell on the cat seems dubious. Does anyone really think we could bell every single sadist? She might be talking to him, but she hasn't told him much yet."

Janice seemed uncertain. "But that still means she could later tell Dennis."

I sighed. "We are going to have to isolate her until we land, and then monitor her a bit. She'll only get command post duty if Terrence or I am also there, and we'll watch her. She isn't going to have rights to open all the doors, not until we can trust her."

There was a moment of silence and Bethany called out to Tina about another short study period when the AI chimed. "Sir, there is a call from Ruth to, quote 'the leader of the mice'. How would you like this handled?"

Everyone became quiet as I thought. I responded. "Can my voice be distorted so that Ruth is unable to tell if the speaker is a man or a woman?"

There was a pause and then the AI said. "Go ahead."

I decided that there was a chance that Ruth had talked to Dennis and did not want her to pick up on any vocal patterns, so I went with a very friendly but much less humble greeting than I used with Dennis. "Well, it's the great Ruth. What brings you to call?"

There was a pause and then Ruth spoke. "Don't I get to know who I'm talking to?"

"Wow, direct and to the point. Sorry, but I don't trust your minions. I think we should leave names out of the conversation," I replied.

There was another pause, but then Ruth started up. "I'll make it simple then. I'm going to rule the colony, and there won't be any backtalk from you or yours. We get your concubines as ours. You do all the work for those limp dicks in the Confederacy military, and we let you live. Oppose us, and we will kill you all and take your concubines anyway."

"Not much of an option," I replied. "Give you everything and work like slaves, or fight you and see you steal all we have after you kill us. I'm sure you can make a different offer, or perhaps someone from the front of the ship will be willing to bargain."

"No bargains!" Ruth howled. "You are a bunch of mice. Little vermin who can't stand up to real people. You will obey, or die. Those are your only options."

I was shaking my head as I listened. As soon as Ruth finished I called out. "End call."

Brittany and Meiko both demanded another hug as the call ended. As I gave them Bethany was shaking her head and laughing. Tina seemed a bit confused, but Janice just nodded. "She sounded afraid. I'm not sure why, but she sounded afraid."

"We should use that," I said. "It seems like Ruth is going to bluster, but as long as we remain in our territory we will be safe from her. I expect she has not spent much time looking into how the colony is going to run."

Brittany and Meiko relaxed a little in my arms, and Bethany grabbed Tina to head off to study. I spent a moment giving my two youngest concubines some comfort before ducking into the sleep trainer to take some classes. With the accelerated transit, I was going to be spending most of my time in the chamber for the next few days.
