The Riders of Sirius Minor

When Joanna got home that evening she greeted the kids, kissed Daniel, and calmly prepared dinner. She felt her rider snugly lodged between her shoulder blades. It felt soft and comforting.

As Joanna put dinner out Daniel said, "I was thinking about what we talked about this morning."

"I was too," said Joanna.

"Maybe if we go together to a doctor and talk about it," said Daniel. "Maybe I can be convinced to let you-"

"That's not necessary, dear," she said.

"What do you mean?"

Joanna took a deep breath.

Daniel's eyes went wide. "Honey... did you get a rider?"

"Yes."

Daniel slammed his hand down on the table, making Joanna jump slightly. "WHY, JO! You promised not to do it!"

She looked defensive. "I promised to think about it. And I did! I didn't see any harm in it, no harm at all!" She extended her arms. "Look at me, Daniel. Really look at me. Do I seem any different to you?"

"Mom," said Julie. "Do you really have one of those things on your back?"

"They are called riders, dear, and the answer is yes."

"Can I... can I see it?" Julie asked.

Joanna looked at Daniel, who frowned.

Well, they're all going to see it sooner or later.

Joanna slowly lifted up and removed her blouse. Underneath her breast control collar was holding her breasts firmly in place.

This is it.

She took a deep breath and turned her back to her family.

"Mom!" Julie cried.

Ben's eyebrows shot up. "You've got one of those things on you!"

"I can't believe it!" said Daniel. He looked at the small, pulsating yellow-brown creature lodged between her shoulder blades. "Can you take it off?"

Joanna stiffened. "I can't take it off. Not until it matures."

"Matures?"

"Until it gets its golden band. It won't start generating vaccines for my body until it's mature."

"How long will that take?" said Daniel.

Joanna shrugged. "I don't know. A few days."

"A few days?" said Daniel.

"You act like it's the end of the world. I'm the same wife and mother you've always known. I just made dinner for you. Was the food poisoned? Did your steak explode? Do I sound any different to you?"

"I suppose not," said Daniel grudgingly.

"Mom, that thing looks so creepy on you," said Julie.

"I know it does, Honey, but it's going to save my life when the plague hits us. I hoped I could be an example to encourage you and your brother to get riders too."

"Not me!" said Ben.

Julie made a discouraging face.

"Jo, I really wish you hadn't done this," said Daniel.

Joanna put her shirt on again. "Well, it's done."

********

That night, as they went to bed, Joanna tried to kiss her husband. He flinched and turned away.

So is that how it's going to be?

She sighed and lay on her back. As her rider pulsated on her back she calmed down and fell asleep.

********

"Oooooh."

Joanna groaned as she felt the shower stream pouring down the back of her neck onto her rider. Her rider enjoyed the flow of water tremendously! She could tell. She could begin to sense what it was feeling at times. As it sucked up water her rider started to slowly inflate and deflate on her back. Joanna stood there, smiling serenely with her eyes closed, as her rider hydrated herself. This is exactly how Daniel found her when he stepped into the bathroom.

"Jo!" he cried, startling her.

"Oh, hello Daniel!" she said, wondering what he had seen.

"What are you doing?" he cried.

"Taking a shower," she said.

"Showering by standing absolutely still with your eyes closed?" said Daniel. "It's that

thing

! It's inflating on your back! Jo, you didn't tell me that thing inflates like that!"

"I... I didn't know," she said, hastily turning her back away from him as she instinctively felt the need to protect her rider.

"I don't like what it's doing to you, Jo," said Daniel. "I want that thing off you as soon as possible. Do you hear me? Jo?"

"I'm going to go make breakfast for the kids."

"I can do that-"

"I'll handle it," said Joanna firmly.

By the time Joanna got out of the shower, everyone was eating breakfast and staring at her oddly.

What had Daniel told them?

Joanna felt like her rider was creating a schism in her family. Maybe she

should

consider removing it. Joanna felt her rider pulsating on her back.

Pulse. Pulse. Pulse.

With each pulsating she calmed down. No, of course she couldn't remove her rider! Her rider was going to save her from the plague! She had to keep it on long enough so the medicine from her rider could get into her system.

******

"I can't believe she did it," said Daniel. "She went behind my back and did it!"

"I'm so sorry," said Casey. "Has it affected her?"

"I caught her in the shower this morning. She was standing there like a zombie while that thing inflated on her back. I don't know what it's doing to her!"

"Have you asked her to take it off?"

"She won't," said Daniel grimly.

"I know what you're going through," said Casey. "Tom got a rider, also without telling me."

"He did?"

"I yelled at him. He just said that he didn't want to die when the plague hit the colony. I told him he should be more worried about me than some theoretical plague," said Casey. She gave a bitter smile. "Your wife, and my husband. Perhaps we could arrange a swap." She put a hand over his and looked into his eyes.

********

Nils seemed to sense that something was wrong with Joanna when they got together to Commune that morning. She looked down at she took off her shirt. As Nils removed his own shirt, she looked hastily at his big hairy chest then turned away.

"Something wrong?" he asked.

"It's nothing," she said.

Nils raised her chin. "Joanna?"

"It's Daniel," she said with reluctant eyes. "He doesn't understand."

"He will," said Nils.

"He will?"

"You'll see," said Nils. "Come." He led her to the couch, and had her sit back to back opposite him. Joanna glanced at his double banded rider. It was so big! As he leaned back towards hers, Joanna wondered if-

********

They were making love once again on the alien world. Joanna felt Nils' enormous penis moving inside her. It felt so good! She looked him in the eye. "Is this really a dream?"

"Whose dream?" Nils asked, grinning as he boned her.

"My dream, of course!"

"How do you know it's not someone else's dream?" said Nils, pulling out of her cunt with his long rod.

"Who else's dream could it be?" Joanna asked.

"Well, mine, of course. You could simply be a character in

my

dream." He inserted himself into her again.

Joanna cackled. "I'm not a character in your dream!"

"How do you know?" he asked with a smile.

"Because this feels too good to be a dream," she said, looking down at his long penis moving in and out of her cuntlips. She looked up at him and suddenly got a very serious expression on her face and kissed him passionately.

********

When Joanna came out of it her body was once again sweaty as if she had run a mile. She saw Nils staring at her intently. With his shirt off, his big hairy chest looked

exactly

the same as it had looked in her dream. Had it really been a dream?

Nils turned her around and nodded with satisfaction. "Your rider is beginning to mature."

"It is?"

"You have small liquidy bumps growing on her rider. It is undigested energy your rider has taken from you. When your rider finally absorbs them, it will grow even more rapidly," he said. He stroked one of the liquidty bumps, making her jump. "Sorry," he grinned.

********

That evening Daniel was still cold and distant to her. He wouldn't hug or kiss her. The kids were giving her odd looks as well. Joanna felt uncomfortable at being ostracized by her own family.

"How long are you going to have that thing on you, Mom?" Julie asked.

"Until it matures," said Joanna.

"And how long will that be?" Ben asked.

"I don't know," she said, wilting in their stares.

********

Nils noticed that Joanna looked unhappy again the following morning but said nothing to her until they started communing.

"Ah, ah, ah," Joanna panted, as Nils' long penis moved in and out of her hairy cunt. A swarm of riders flew above them, momentarily blotting out the sun.

"You are still troubled," Nils observed.

"Yes," said Joanna. She wrapped her arms and legs around him tightly so she could feel him deeper inside her.

"He still does not understand."

"No he doesn't," said Joanna. Nor would he understand

this

. This was the third time she had communed with Nils and each time it was

the same exact dream

. Joanna began to have a suspicion that perhaps this dream was something else entirely.

"Nils?"

"Yes, Honey?" he said, as he pleasantly inserted his penis inside her widely stretched pussy lips.

"Is this really a dream?" She said.

"Why do you ask?" he said, gradually pulling his thick rod out of her.

"Well, we've communed three times, and each time I have the exact same dream, of you making love to me."

"Perhaps that's what's of most interest to you," Nils said, smiling at her. His face tensed up. "You have such a sexy body! You always feel so tight inside, you always make me come!" He cried out, gasped, and-

********

Joanna was back in the little room, sitting on the sofa, her face covered in perspiration. Nils smiled at her. "That was great, Honey! You always feel so tight inside!" He stared at her meaningfully.

Joanna's jaw dropped open. "So it's not a dream! It

is

real!"

"In a matter of speaking," said Nils. "There is no physicality, of course, but our nerve endings are stimulated so it feels like it was real and our minds are linked together... for our shared experience." He stared at her meaningfully.

Their shared experience.

"So it really is you... in my dream... making love to me? You've heard everything I've said, seen everything I've seen?"

"Yes," said Nils. "We have been sharing communion together."

Joanna didn't know

what

she felt about that! It was one thing for her to have erotic dreams about Nils, but another for them to have a kind of "mind sex" with each other. She hurriedly put her shirt on and ran a hand through her long dark hair.

She turned to go, but Nils put a hand on her wrist. "Hey," he said. "I've had an

amazing

time with you. You really are a very sexy woman."

Joanna turned red. "Thanks."

He massaged her wrist. "About your husband."

"What about him?"

"If you want him back in your bed, you will have to manipulate him."

"Like you've been manipulating me?" Joanna said.

Nils smiled. "Kind of. But your ways are different. Play to his weaknesses. Then he will be yours."

********

That evening Daniel continued to give her the cold shoulder. Joanna said nothing. Her rider started to pulsate on her back. It whispered things in her ear too softly to hear. Joanna cocked her head and nodded.

Later, when Daniel came into the bedroom, he found Joanna sitting on the bed, completely naked, and sobbing.

"Hey!" said Daniel, rapidly sitting besides her. "What's wrong?"

"You... you don't love me any more!" she said.

"Of course I do!" said Daniel.

She turned to look at him with tear stained eyes. "Then why won't you talk to me anymore? Why won't you even look at me!"

"I'm looking at you now." Daniel started to rub his hands up and down her arms. "I love you, Jo, you know that!"

She shook her head. "Not lately! Not since I've got

this

," she said, turning her head to indicate her rider. "Does it really make me so different, Daniel? Am I really no longer the woman you fell in love with and made a family with?"

"Of course I still love you!" Daniel said. He reached out and kissed her on the lips. She took the kiss but didn't respond. "I love you so much!" he said. He kissed her more firmly this time. By the third kiss they had their arms wrapped around each other.

And five minutes later they were making love.

Daniel was on top. Joanna knew her rider would get the most stimulation if she were on top, but that could come later. She smiled through rapidly drying eyes as her dear, dear husband made love to her. Daniel's penis wasn't as big and long as Nils' had been in that other place, but Daniel was

her husband

. She loved him so much! She felt so relaxed as her husband finally made love to her.

When it was done, they lay arm in arm.

She looked at him. "So do you love me again?"

"Of course. I never stopped loving you."

"Will you make love to me every night?" she asked.

"Every night?"

"My rider needs it, to mature." She saw his expression. "The sooner it matures, the sooner this will all be done."

Daniel bit his lip. "All right."

"Oh Daniel!" she hugged him tightly.

********

The next morning at work Casey said, "Tom made a pass at me again."

"He did?" said Daniel. "What did you do?"

"I told him there was no way I was going to make love to him with that

thing

on his back," said Casey.

"Casey, he's your husband," said Daniel. "How long are you going to ice him out?"

"Until he takes that monstrosity off," she said. Her eyes narrowed. "Don't tell me you and Jo...."

"Last night," said Daniel.

She looked horrified. "You made love to her with that thing on her back?"

"It hasn't really changed her, not very much," said Daniel.

"You gave in," said Casey accusingly.

"What?"

"You're an enabler now. You're part of it now," she said.

"Casey, it's only until her rider matures, then-"

"I don't believe a word of it," she said firmly.

********

Joanna smiled and hugged Nils when she saw him that morning.

"Are things better at home?"

Joanna nodded. "Much better."

"I'm so glad to hear that."

As Joanna took off her shirt, so did Nils. But he didn't stop there. He took off his pants as well and hooked his thumbs in his underwear.

"What are you doing?" said Joanna.

"Communing feels even better when you're totally nude," he said. "Come on, Joanna, take it off. Take it all off. You'll feel better for it, I promise."

Joanna felt his hungry eyes on her tight breast control collar. Now that she knew that Communing was real, she felt reluctant to get naked with the man she was having mind sex with. She knew where this was leading to, and she didn't want to go there.

"No," she said hastily. "I'd just as soon do it with my clothes on, if you don't mind."

"Suit yourself," Nils shrugged. He checked his chrono. "You know, I just realized I have a meeting in less than an hour. I don't really have time to do a whole session with you."

"So? We'll shorten it."

Nils shook his head even as he worked his pants back on. "Don't bother. We can just pick up tomorrow. There's no harm in skipping a day." Suddenly he was all dressed again. He kissed Joanna on the forehead and said, "See you tomorrow, Jo."

And then he was gone.

********

Joanna quickly drove home in a state of panic. She felt an intense feeling of sexual arousal. She didn't know if it were her own feelings or her rider stimulating her. All she knew is that she needed relief and she needed it

now

.

Before she knew it she was sitting on the living room couch with her pants open and her hands inside her panties, rubbing avidly. As Joanna pleasured herself awareness started to fade.

"Momomomomomom," she said, her eyes getting glassy.

It was in this state that her daughter Julie found her several minutes later.

"Mom? Mom?" she said.

"Momomomomomomom," said Joanna. Her hand was busy moving inside her panties.

"Mom!" said Julie, shaking her shoulder.

"Wh, what?" Joanna blinked rapidly. "Julie!" She said.

"Mom, what are you doing?"

Joanna looked down and suddenly realized she had her hands in her pants. She blushed with embarrassment.

"I, uh...." What to say? She looked into her daughter's eyes. "It's my rider. It stimulates certain... needs. Please don't tell your father, all right, dear?"

Julie looked very unhappy.

"Please, Jules?"

Julie nodded reluctantly, still looking unhappy. "Mom, when are you getting that thing off you?"

"Soon, dear. I'm sure it will be mature real soon." She kissed Julie on the forehead. "Best daughter!"

Jo got up and went into the master bedroom and then the master bath. She closed and locked the door behind her.

Her face was still red and burning. How had she ever been so careless to let that happen? She felt her rider pulsate on her back and her arousal returned once more. Joanna rapidly took off all her clothes. When she was nude, she leaned against the bathroom wall, careful to lean against her lower back so her rider wouldn't be harmed. She spread her legs and looked at her furry cunt. She hadn't done this in

years

. Not since she had gotten married to Daniel. Daniel took care of all her sexual needs. But Joanna's needs had

grown

.

Joanna hesitantly started to put a finger inside her furry cunt. She quickly found what she was looking for and started rubbing.

Joanna gasped as her body started to gently rub up and down against the wall. She looked into the mirror and realized how sexy she was, breathing heavily and making her breasts rise and fall while her finger was buried deeply in her cuntlips at the base of her pubic triangle. If only Daniel could see her like this!

But her thoughts of Daniel quickly turned into thoughts of Nils. Joanna

knew

that he had cut their session short because she had refused to disrobe and that this was some kind of test or punishment for her uncooperative behavior. Joanna thought about their first two sessions where Nils had made love to her on that barren alien world. She remembered how good it felt have his long penis inside of her, to have his strong chest pressed against her, to see him looking into her eyes as they made forbidden love.

As Joanna rubbed her clit she frowned.

Why should it be forbidden?

If one man could not satisfy all her sexual desires wasn't it only natural that she should seek out more? As she bit her lip and cried out and her body shuddered, Joanna realized she was going to have to start making some compromises if she was to stay sane....

********

"It was beyond bizarre, Dad," said Julie. "Mom was making odd sounds and... touching herself."

"What kind of sounds?" said Daniel.

Julie shook her head. "I don't know." She looked distressed.

"You said she was touching herself? Touching herself where?" Daniel asked.

"You... you know." She shyly turned her gaze downwards.

Daniel looked disturbed. "Thanks for letting me know, Honey."

"Daddy, I think you should stay away from her. At least until she gets rid of that thing on her back."

"I know you do," said Daniel. He hugged her. "Thank you for telling me, dear."

Joanna came into the kitchen. "What are you two hugging about?"

"Mom-"

"Joanna just got an 'A' in symbolic anti-racism at Colonial College," said Daniel.

"Oh, I'm so proud of you dear!" She turned to check the oven. The round outline of her rider could be seen through her thin shirt. "Dinner is almost ready!"

Julie gave her father a knowing look.

*********

After dinner, Daniel made love to Joanna.

He hadn't been deaf to what Julie had told him. He knew her rider was influencing her in some way he didn't quite understand. But he had found the evening before intensely distressing. Regardless of whatever Jo had on her back, she was still his wife and he wanted her to be happy. Joanna claimed that having sex would help her remove her rider that much sooner. And so when she kissed him in the bedroom and gave him that look, he nodded and put his hands on her ass, making her jump for joy.

This time Joanna was on top. There was no longer any need to hide what she was doing now. As she rode on her husband's penis, she felt her rider sucking up her chemical energy on her back. It drained her, making each movement up and down all the more exerting, but Joanna felt like she

had

to do it. The sooner her rider matured, the sooner it would give her lifesaving medicine which would make her immune to the coming plague!
