Degenerate Star Ch. 04 - Loyalties

She realized suddenly how easy it was to let another choose. She didn't have to think, to weigh choices and consequences. No lists of pros or cons. This was something she could relax into. The decision would be made for her. It was somehow freeing. Zed, of course, could see all of this on her face. See all of it to the core of her brain. When he looked away she was relieved, he was no longer reading her mind.

The two men stared eye to eye, nose to muzzle.

"Navigator, how long in hyperspace?" Zed said without moving his gaze.

"A short jump, three and a half hours."

Zed spoke to the wolf very slowly, "That sounds pretty good, old friend. Get that wine, I'd love to sample it with you."

Vgg-r gave a very fangy grin, "Aye, Captain."

On the very short walk to the captain's cabin, Zed helped her along, practically carrying her like a puppy. Even though the nausea had passed quickly, he insisted. She had to admit it felt good having a huge man acting protective. She could get used to it.

Inside the cabin, he moved her to the foot of the bed and turned her around. "Kneel." He barked.

Without thought, she fell to her knees, looking back at the hatch they had just come through. Her fingers laced behind her neck. As she'd been told she thrust her chest out. It was still a humiliating gesture, but expected and so she did as instructed.

She watched his gaze drop to her spread glistening thighs. "Did they fuck you?"

"No, Sir." She responded, "I was told to masturbate for them."

"So just your own juices down there?"

She flushed, "Yes, Sir."

"You are to stay there. In that position, until I say otherwise."

"Yes, Sir. Is something going to happen?" She asked. Tension between the two was higher than she would ever allow on her ship. She'd have talked this through with one of her subordinates. Pirates, raiders, and other scum seemed to have their own standards.

"A little more chest beating. With the Volgar you have to establish clear dominance. Part of their pack mentality thing. It may look ugly but don't get involved. Don't do anything that might make him panic or snap."

Worried now, "Yes, Sir."

Zed walked to the hatch and then pulled off his shirt. He leaned back against the bulkhead and waited. Minutes ticked by with Riley getting more nervous with each passing. There was a knock and the hatch slid open.

Vgg-r strutted in with a large bottle in one hand. His tongue lolled out when he saw Riley naked, kneeling, and spread open. Then he turned and saw Zed as the large human closed in on him. The bottle fell to the floor and bounced.

All Riley could see was fur and skin moving in a huge mass in front of the hatch. She was glad about the warning. She'd have fled otherwise. The two men grappled snarling at each other. The wolf snapped fangs with loud clicks in front of the human's face. Zed grunted and strained, locking his arms around the beast and struggling to stay up on two legs. Vgg-r scrambled, trying to get down on all four while shoving and pushing at the human furiously.

They spun and Zed slammed the wolf into a bulkhead. Vgg-r let out a yip, then kicked off the wall, forcing Zed down to one knee. The wolf's claws scrabbled across human skin, leaving angry red welts. Riley didn't understand. The claws on the beast would easily rip through skin. Zed fought his way back up to both feet and, with a long grunt, lifted the wolf up off the deck. He then dropped Vgg-r to the deck with a crash.

Vgg-r yipped a second time when Zed crashed down into him. His ear tilted back and he began howling, "I yield, I yield. You are the pack leader."

Zed stood looking down at the Volgarian then extended one hand. His breath was ragged and drawn out. Vgg-r lay on his back, all four limbs up in a defensive posture, ears still tipped back. He lay there a moment wide-eyed, then took one of Zed's hands and allowed himself to be pulled up to his hind legs.

Riley noted that the wolf hunched down, losing many centimeters of height as he stood before Zed. The captain opened his arms in a wide gesture, "Come on, hug it out you son of a bitch."

The wolf practically dove into Zed's arms. She almost laughed when she saw his tail spinning like a helicopter rotor. The two embraced for a few moments while Riley watched trying to digest all that had just happened.

"You brought the wine?" Zed asked, breaking the embrace. His sides were covered in deep red scratches. Riley wanted to rush over and apply aid, but her instructions were clear. She remained on her knees as Vgg-r snatched up the bottle and handed it to Zed.

"Excellent, packmate. I accept your offering and present my own," Zed motioned to the kneeling Riley with an upturned palm. "Let us share in our spoils."

The two looked down considering Riley, both with feral grins. She had no illusion that the off-duty shift would be easy for her.

"Music, Volgarian heat." Zed announced.

The cabin was filled with an exotic tune that made Riley think of desert sands and exotic silk-clad beauties. She prayed they weren't going to ask her to dance to it.

Zed crushed that hope when he immediately asked, "You know how to dance to this?"

"No, Sir."

The two men laughed down at her and said in stereo, "Then you better learn fast."

The burning tingles started before she could even get to her feet. As she stood, the two walked past her, each taking a seat on the deck using the bed as a backrest.

Riley turned watching them, unsure how to even begin.

"Go ahead and tune her to you," Zed said as he worked the bottle open.

Vgg-r slipped a controller from his belt and waved it at her. The burning tingles changed tempo, not placement. She very quickly discovered that moving soothed the sharp pains. They expected her to learn to dance without instruction. She launched her body into motion.

Ballroom dance had been one of the elective courses at Academy. She'd declined for further studies in crew relations. Dance, as far as she was concerned, was antiquated, an anachronism from another time enforcing traditional gender values that she didn't see any place for in a modern naval setting. Her mother would die of shame if she could see her now naked and convorting in front of two hooligans.

She, however, felt a deliciously wicked tickle, knowing these two brutes wanted to watch her. She was their entertainment. They wanted to see her seduce them with motion. It made her flush with want, knowing it was what they wanted.

As she moved, briskly walking in circles in the cramped space, the two raiders began drinking straight from the bottle and talking about crew morale. Riley desperately wanted to hear, but any effort to slow down or listen carefully met with a sharp sting. Whether she knew how to dance or not, the implants kept her moving.

Soon enough brisk walking in circles wasn't enough. She had to add a shimmy to keep the stings away. With every handful of verses, the stinging would return until she added more. She waved her arms in what she hoped was a seductive gesture as she shimmy walked in circles. Then some hip sways, then some full-body turns. She'd been dancing for the men who seemed to barely notice her for thirty long minutes and was beginning to run out of ideas to keep adding to her impromptu performance.

Vgg-r lept up laughing and holding his hands out to Riley, "No, no. I'm not sure what you hummies think dance is, but that is not it."

He stepped forward and embraced her, snatching her upright. He took one hand and held it out away from her. His other paw went to the small of her back, pressing her against his body. Her face was right at neck level, pressed into the bottom of his soft mane. The fur felt good. Softer than she would have ever imagined. She wanted to snuggle into him, but he pressed her to his rigid body and placed her free hand on his shoulder.

"Follow me." He slurred. She had been so busy dancing for the men she hadn't noticed they'd almost finished the bottle.

He dipped his body, and she felt the hand on her back press to her right. She stepped that way and was surprised he moved gracefully with her. He barked, "Very good."

Standing at a stop again, he dipped slightly and stepped into her. She naturally stepped backward, and he followed. Another dip, and he guided her to the left. She was dancing, ballroom dancing. The dips were signals for movement and based on the direction of his paw on her back, it was easy to tell which way he wanted her to go. They danced a couple of circuits around the room, Vgg-r leading her easily in figure eights and squares with simple steps.

The wolf then paused and began pushing and holding her to the music. She really was dancing ballroom. She smiled up into his wolfy face, but his eyes were closed, lost to the music he moved her to.

"Now we try something a little different. Just do what feels natural." He said stopping suddenly.

Without dipping, he pressed her back, forcing her to turn and pushing her forward. As she neared the limit of his embrace, he gave a little push again, turning her so she could walk in his embrace across his body. He spent a few verses making her walk figure eights in front of him. Then they moved again as one, sweeping to the far side of the small room.

A ballroom dancing pirate. And a dog at that. It was becoming hard not to feel genuine affection for this band of motley scoundrels. Aside from the slavery thing.

As they swept around the deck Riley felt Vgg-r's paw slip lower on her skin. There was a burst of heat in her cheeks as he reached down and cupped one cheek. They stopped, he walked her in figure eights, then stuck his leg out in front of her. Unsure what to do and being urged into it, she lifted a leg and draped it across his knee. She could feel his fur brush against her thigh and pussy and it sent jolts of pleasure shuddering through her.

Looking up, she saw the wolfman looking down at her body. How strange it must be to have a naked alien, different physiology, different standards of beauty, and still be aroused. Yet, she was melting in a man-wolf's grasp, knowing that if told, she'd do anything and enjoy every moment of it.

He lowered his leg letting hers fall back to the deck. His hand on her ass again pulling her into him. She could feel him, excited now and pressing to her through his leggings. Because of their height difference, he was stabbing into her stomach. Unable to stop herself she moved her hand from his shoulder and slid it down fur and fabric across his broad chest.

A low rumble, like and unlike a growl, murmured in her ears. Her hand crept past the belt to him. She felt its shape, thin and long, and squeezed him through his pants. The growl intensified and he swept her up in his arms suddenly. Butterflies exploded in her tummy, giddy with anticipation.

"Right here," Zed said. He'd moved on his knees to one side of his bed and patted the mattress.

Vgg-r practically tossed her down onto it then started ripping his clothes off. As she bounced Zed caught her wrists and yanked them over her head. He pinned her there, lying sideways across the mattress, looking up at Zed's upside-down face.

Riley wanted to say something, but she wasn't sure exactly what. Should she tell Zed how much she wanted this? Keep quiet? She'd never done anything like this, and all of it happening at once made her anxious and worried. She wasn't quite sure what.

Zed bent down to her and crushed her lips with his. He took the kiss from her. No gentle touch, no asking for permission. Unlike her Academy encounters he just took it from her. And she noted clinically from some distant part of her brain that it felt amazing having someone want her so badly they just did that.

She wanted to throw her arms around his neck but couldn't. He kept her arms pinned over her head. She struggled, unable to get free, and this somehow thrilled her. Completely at his mercy while he stole the breath from her. While this feeling of helplessness overwhelmed her, she knew he wouldn't hurt her. It was hard to understand why she felt safe in his hands, even though she'd lost all control.

Clawed hands gripped her ankles. She'd been so lost in Zed's kiss she'd completely blanked out that there was another in the cabin with them. Her ankles were pulled across the bed and then spread wide. The mattress shifted as Vgg-r climbed up between her legs. Fur whispered inside her thighs and the competing sensations of strong hands, demanding lips, and the caress of silk hair nearly did her in.

Sharp claws traced along her legs making her squeal against Zed's mouth. She opened her eyes to see nothing but his thick neck as he continued to devour her. The claws were everywhere, tracing up and down her legs, making her squirm. Even pinned down between their two bodies the wolf continued to make her dance.

Finally, Vgg-r's claws slipped around under her knees and pulled her legs up. She could do nothing to stop him or what would come next. There was no will to break the bruising kiss that still ravaged her. She felt herself folded almost in half as her legs were pressed forward over her chest. Vgg-r scooted up thigh to thigh. She moaned, wishing she could beg, wishing she had words or breath to encourage all the wrong that felt so right.

Vgg-r shifted against her, and she felt his cock press against her. It wasn't as heavy or meaty as Zed's, but it felt every bit as burning hot and silky smooth. She struggled against Zed, she wanted to see the cock that was about to fuck her, wanted to help guide it in. Zed refused, he kept her pinned there as he fed on her lips and tongue.

Shoving his hips against her, Riley felt Vgg-r's cock grinding in the valley of her lips. She could feel how slick it was and knew she was responsible. He was hard for her. He wanted to fuck her. He wanted her. And she could think of nothing else but having him buried in her. She shoved her hips back at him, tried to position herself so he'd have no choice but to slip in.

Moaning desperately, she begged with every ounce of psychic force for Vgg'r to penetrate her. She pulled at him with her legs, tried to hook her feet around him and pull him in. He grunted in appreciation. Zed continued his assault making her head spin deliriously.

Finally, Vgg-r moved his hips just so, and the sharp tip of his rigid cock slipped down where she needed it to be. She pulled with her legs and felt him sliding easily into her. As she parted for him, she was lost in how utterly exquisite being filled felt. She couldn't recall why she'd fought against this, why she'd kept herself chaste in a past life. This was what her body was made for. She knew this and delighted in her sudden discovery of it.

Screaming in Zed's mouth she bucked her hips, stabbing herself on Vgg-r's prick. She pulled with her legs and Vgg-r complied. He thrust deep into her, making her moan around Zed's tongue. Something wet and rough found one of her nipples, then teeth pressed to her breast. Vgg-r sucked one tit, then the other as he rode her furiously.

Vgg-r whistled, a strange keening sound, but somehow it made Riley want him more. He'd done that for her. Because of her. Her wish was granted. Vgg-r gripped her hips, her legs still caught in the crook of his elbows, and he began thrusting into her. It was a savage animalistic fucking. Howling and grunting, he drove into her with quick little stabbing motions, but at a thousand kilometers an hour. The constant pounding turned her hungry groan into a long crying sigh. With a frantic pace she'd never experienced before, she could feel herself clutching at him, everything below the waist clenching in an effort to get more. The speed and fury of it surprised her, mostly in that it felt so wickedly decadent.

Breaking the kiss Zed came up for air. He panted on Riley's face, and she could do nothing but wail as she was humped furiously. She tried drawing in breath, but it was constantly being fucked out of her. All she could do was stare wide-eyed at the upside-down face of Zed looming over her.

Riley forced herself to draw a breath, only to have words gush out of her, "Nothing matters, I'm a slave, Sir."

She watched Zed's face soften and smile. He let go of one wrist to reach down and touch her face. His head bobbed up and down from her vantage, as she was mercilessly pounded by Vgg-r her whole body jerked back and forth. Vgg-r started a moan that soon turned into a howl.

"Cum for me," Zed whispered.

And she did. Her own howl joined Vgg-r's as he jackhammered into her without slowing. His claws bit painfully into her ass cheeks as he gripped her hips tight. Her body thrashed. She clutched at him. She pulled fiercely at Zed. Her free hand found a breast, and she squeezed it so hard the piercing threatened to tear away. She sang for Zed. She danced for Vgg-r. She was lost in a maelstrom of sensations.

As she came quaking and cursing back from her euphoric tidal wave high, she felt Vgg-r swelling inside her. He still pumped away inside her, still thrust deeply, but he was splitting her now in two. She felt the swelling roll past her cunt lips, and then there was a fullness deep inside her. And then everything was drenched. Vgg-re, breathing irregularly now, continued pistoning inside her, but he was pulling against her from inside. Riley was too dazed to understand what was happening, she only knew that his alien cock was doing something her body wasn't built for. He yowled as if in agony.

"I'm just a slave," she said quickly.

"Cum." And she did again, so easily.

When it was over she lay there panting. Vgg-r had rolled off her and lay panting as well. Zed had eased to a sitting position on the deck, still holding her wrists, still pinning her down. He'd somehow caught the free one while she was oblivious. His head lay next to hers on the bed, his hot breath bathing an ear.

Zed murmured in her ear, "And that's just the first round..."

Zed's hand moved up her arms to her breasts. When he squeezed Riley purred. He hefted himself onto the bed lifting her up as he did so. Kneeling behind her he pulled her up onto his muscular thighs. Riley felt tiny with him wrapped around her. He continued groping her with one hand as his other drifted down her belly.

She turned her head back to him, twisting in his lap. She reached an arm up and threw it around his neck, pulling him into her for another long kiss. His exploring hand pressed down between her thighs, and she willingly parted for him, wanting him to touch her, make her body sing. Thick fingers found the mess Vgg-r had left in her. He slid a finger back and forth along her slit and she squirmed uncontrollably.

Riley broke the kiss to see Vgg-r turn to his side watching the two. His eyes were keenly observing Zed explore her body with eager hands.

Having an audience made Riley squirm even more. It was heady having Zed's huge hands stroking every part of her needy skin. But being watched while it happened made it naughtier, made the implants stoke the fires in her to excruciating levels. The hand between her thighs worked at her, in her, making her sigh and moan.

Locking gaze with Vgg-r she reached back behind her with her free hand. It met the bare skin of his abdomen. She traced along the ridges of his abs ever downward. At his belt, her fingers danced, unbuckling him quickly. She pressed down inside wanting to feel him.

Suddenly Zed pushed Riley forward. She fell from her knees forward catching herself on elbows. He continued pushing until her head touched the bed. He rose up behind her, his hands clutching her by each hip. Pressing himself to her, she could feel his thick meat hidden behind clothing that she failed to free him from. She spread her knees wide to let him know he could have anything he wanted.

As Zed ground on her, his fingers digging deep into the flesh of her waist, she felt trails of tickling silky hair on one arm. Turning her head she could see Vgg-r caressing the arm with his knuckle, purposely letting her feel fur along her skin. Again, the sensations of skin and fur, hard grinding, and gentle touch overwhelmed her. Her insides tensed and untensed with a desperate ache to be filled.
