I am working on getting the chapters fixed for the first part of this series. Lit.com is being a bit slow which is somewhat frustrating but eventually it will be fixed. As far as this chapter there is going to be more action and personal conflicts not to mention some politics. Oh, and there is (gasp) a sex scene in this chapter.
After I submit this for posting I am going to finish bk 2 c 3 for Ranicke and submit it. That might end up being tomorrow (Monday) so hopefully it will be up sometime the middle of next week.
The last thing I have to say is that there are only a few detailed sex scenes in this series as with my other stories. I find, this is a personal opinion that having a sex scene in every chapter of a story gets boring after a while. I have come across some very good stories that keep getting broken up by one sex scene after another. That makes it hard for me to follow the plot line.

Billy and Satasha spent the next two days in the isolation room till Doctor Jusdean cleared them. They slowly walked back to the rooms they had been using. Once inside Billy sat down and groaned. "I feel better but still feel like a star ship ran me over." Satasha laid down on the couch and rested her head in his lap and he started stroking her fur.
She sighed. "I know Yilly but you will feel better in a few days and by the time you get home you will feel fine." Her eyes closed and she started purring. As they were relaxing the door chimed.
Neither one of them felt like moving so Billy called out. "Enter at your own risk." The fact that he was starting to show a bit of humor indicated he was starting to feel better.
He wasn't startled when Engineer H'Zalon walked in since he had sensed him outside the doors. When he paused at the door Billy waved him in. "Please come in and if you wouldn't mind getting us some c'shar I would greatly appreciate it. I need to take my meds."
H'Zalon paused. "Are you sure I am not interrupting. I know you are still recovering but I wanted to talk to you about the changes we would like to make. Some of it is going to be about the voltage, current, and amps that your electrical system uses. The rest of it is going to be about the actual changes." When Billy waved him in he did so and hurried to get some drinks for the three of them.
Billy took his cup and tossed back a couple of pills and a good mouth full of the drink. He would have preferred coffee but the thought of it made his stomach sort of queasy. "Thanks. Let's start with the electrical system first and with the engines I have I have plenty to use." The Sholan's had finally gotten around to issuing him a set of VR glasses and he pulled them out. "Show me and then explain the symbols you use for electricity and your PIE chart of how you utilize electricity."
The engineer grinned at him. "No trying any sneaky tactics to pick my brain Yim." He had heard of the threats Jim had made to disassemble something. He had a feeling that was one of the reasons they had been moved to these quarters. If he was to bored he might try. Moving him here and allowing him out would give him something to do. H'Zalon pulled up the power requirements needed for the changes that had been recommended.
Satasha shook her head at the two of them. She understood much of what they were saying since it was low level electronics but she didn't want to listen. "Yimmy I am going to go lay down for a while." She gave him a light kiss before going to the bedroom.
It was about two hours later when Jim pulled the glasses off. "I need to go and relax myself. My headache comes and goes and it is starting again." He carefully stood up. "Why don't you come to dinner this evening and after we eat we can talk a bit more." He headed for the bedroom and stripped down and crawled into bed.
Satasha was sleeping on her stomach so Jim draped an arm across her waist and nestled his head on her back. As he was laying there he was feeling a warm surge and flow of power between the two of them. He fell asleep with a contented smile on his face.
Sally and Vangie came into the suite and peeked into the bedroom and had to smile since the two looked at peace with the world. Quietly they closed the door and she leaned back against Vangie. "It has been so long since pappa has looked so comfortable and content. Maybe now they can take out a bonding contract." It still sounded a bit odd to her but she was starting to see the attraction the two had.
She liked Vangie and he was one of the most attentive lovers she had ever had. Right now it was simply friendship and enjoying their time in bed. Having him wash her hair and back had most definitely become something she enjoyed. It still felt a bit odd to be showering with her father and Satasha but nothing like that first day. "We will wake them shortly before dinner time. Till then let them rest. I know the doctor didn't want to let them out quite yet and plenty of rest is mandatory."
Vangie had to smile at her and scooped her up. "Well I guess that means that we need to figure something out to kill some time." He started licking and gently biting her neck and ear. She started giggling and he loved the sound of it.
"Well big boy I am sure we can find something to do." He carried her into their room and as she was laughing he gently tossed her on the bed. "I most definitely think we can find something to occupy ourselves with." His fingers ran down the tabard and opened the seal. Underneath she wasn't wearing anything except for some panties.
She was so different than a Sholan female with the smooth skin and breasts. For some reason she also shaved her groin other than a strip down the front. He smiled down at her and leaned forward and kissed her. "You are a very lovely woman and I am very pleased that you have chosen to spend time with me." He didn't have any illusions about what she might feel towards him. He did like her and was coming to care for her as a good friend. After having thought that he knew that she wasn't ready to settle down unlike her father and Satasha.
Sally wiggled slightly and smiled at him. "See something you like?" She started running his hands through his fur and sighed in contentment. "As I said, such lovely fur and a warm person. I also am pleased to have met you Vangie." As she returned the kiss her hands came up and stroked the fur alongside his face. "My lovely Sholan, how glad art I that thou hast chosen to spend a bit of time with me."
Once in a blue moon Sally spoke oddly but he got the gist of the meaning. "Nay fair lady, tis I who is honored that such a lovely and fair maiden hath chosen to spend time with me." It was hard to speak that way but he knew she enjoyed listening to things like that.
Vangie stood up and stripped his belt and tabard off as Sally did the same with her clothing. Once she was undressed she moved towards the center of the bed so Vangie had some room as well. Just for good measure she stretched and smiled as his eyes roamed over her body. "I think someone see's something he likes. Now the question is if he is going to simply stare or join me in bed."
He snorted at her. "Oh so you want me to join you do you? Well I think I am going to start with the toes today..." Vangie lightly caught one foot and lifted it up and ran his tongue across the bottom of it. When she squealed he licked some more before slowly starting his way up the leg. When he hit the knee he moved to the other leg and repeated the process.
Sally tried as hard as she could not to laugh as he licked her feet and toes. She was almost as ticklish as her father in that area. "You are being a butthead you overgrown cat." As he worked his way up her legs she could feel her body responding. His tongue was long and flexible and Vangie was very skilled with it. As he licked and nibbled he would use the soft sides and then the rough center for a different sensation.
He could feel her relaxing into his ministrations and was pleased. Vangie hadn't been sure how she would react to his doing something different. From her scent she was starting to enjoy it. Her musk was different than a female Sholan but still smelled as sweet. Vangie slowly licked and nipped his way up her legs and could feel her reacting.
When he got close to her groin he altered his path so that he went up the other side of the crease where her leg met her groin.
She moaned slightly since that wasn't where she wanted him. Sally's hands curled in his hair as she tried to direct him where she wanted him. She knew she wasn't strong enough but she had to try. "Oh god, move down and use that lovely tongue of yours." Her back was arching slightly and her hips were slowly moving up and down as she tried to entice him. "Please Vangie don't make me wait." There was a definite moaning in her voice as well as a slight panting as well.
He smiled at her and let out a low rumbling purr. "Tonight I am going to love you the way I would a Sholan female. I have enjoyed doing what you have been showing me. Now it is my turn." Vangie's eyes had a slight glow to them as he looked at her. He kept moving up her body with the licks and nibbles though he avoided her nipples for the moment. Eventually he made it to her neck and pressed his nose to the pulse point and smiled.
"You smell so lovely my sweet human." He worked his way to her lips and gave her a slow kiss. "I am going to make sure you are totally satisfied by the time I am done." She could see a slight curl to his lips as he leaned back a bit. As he was smiling at her he felt her running her hands through his fur on his chest.
