Coco surprised and pleased Bill with the passion she showed at returning his kisses upon awakening from her trance. This was a wonderful change from the friendly, but business-like young lady he'd last seen conscious during their negotiations for his fantasy.
"Oh, my heavens, Bill, you accepted my offer?" Coco happily blurted out, as she held his face between both her small hands!
"Yes, I did, Doll." Bill laughed in return, as he savored the feel of her small hands on him. "Don't ever make an irresistible offer like that to a Texas horse trader unless you're serious!"
Coco and Bill hugged and kissed as they laughed and she cried from joy. Bill knew her young mind was adjusting to some awesome changes and stresses. He was just as avid in his craving for more contact with her as she was with him, but he was also deeply concerned about her physical well being. After all, he planned to put his sex doll's endurance to the test during the next years. "When was the last time you sat down to a meal, Darling? I was about to order something from our kitchen."
The look on Coco's lovely face showed his guess had been correct, she was trying to recall when she'd last eaten, and due to her hectic schedule it had been close to a day earlier, as it had been with him. Bill remembered he had no idea of Coco's dietary preferences. "Does a grilled steak sound alright, Coco? Those would be quick to prepare, but you can order anything you'd like. Our kitchen is equipped to cook for anyone, vegetarians, Kosher, and Halal diners, as well as omnivores. We never know when friends or customers of different religions or customs will drop in."
"A steak would be marvelous, Bill, very rare please." Coco was pleased at the thought of their sharing a relaxing meal and drinks together to break the ice as well as knowing she'd gone far too long without eating due to her excitement over their deal. She knew she'd be in distress soon if she didn't eat something.
Bill went to the intercom on the nearest wall and thumbed a button. He asked, "Is anyone on Kitchen Patrol? We have a hungry recruit on board who's signed on for the duration." Bill winked conspiratorially at Coco.
"Kitchen Patrol here, Bill, extending a warm welcome aboard to the new recruit." The reply had been almost instantaneous, Bill's security crew had known they had visitors at the door and were on full alert. Bill knew they were being watched on the security cameras. He began giving their order, "Stampede two of those aged Top Sirloins from the ranch across the grill, please." He looked questioningly at Coco. "Asparagus with cream sauce okay with you, Dear?" Coco quickly nodded in appreciation. "Mushroom gravy and mashed potatoes?" This got a wide smile and eager nods from her. "Thick slice a loaf of that home baked bread too, please, and serve some of the fresh churned butter. This recruit looks like she could use it, and I'm starving too. Oh, and put several bottles of our best bubbly in the chiller there and the one in our room, please. We're celebrating her signing on!" Coco found she was ravenous now, as her mouth watered in anticipation!
Bill spoke more briskly. "Okay, that will do, serve us in the Officer's Mess, please, and remember I'm timing you!" Coco laughed in appreciation of Bill's jests. It was obvious the rapport he had with his crew! "A steak does sound delicious!" Bill growled. "I didn't feel like eating after... well... after you left."
"Now that I'm back you'd better eat hearty to keep your strength up." Coco warned him. "You had it all your own way yesterday, big guy, but give me half a chance and I'll wear you out at foot races or bed games!"
"Yar!" Bill demonstrated his best pirate's laugh for her, and assured her, "You'll have your chance to back up those brave words as soon as you've had your fill from our galley, Lass!"
He had been leisurely walking with her, hand in hand, in the general direction of their dining facilities which consisted of three different sized areas, all lavishly furnished for their particular use. When needed, the dividers were removed and the entire area could be combined into a huge Grand Ballroom or meeting hall. As they passed their own quarters he showed her the door and offered her the use of the master bath to refresh herself if she wished. She declined, so he led her on down the hall to the Officer's Mess.
When they reached their table Bill impulsively hugged Coco to him and bent to kiss her. "I'm so happy you're here, my Darling. This is a dream come true for me!" He seated her next to his own chair at the end of the huge Captain's table, where utensils and water glasses had already been placed. Bill was pleased to see a tray of enticing appetizers had arrived as well. He offered them to her, and chose one for himself. One of his men came in to take their drink orders. The first things Coco noticed about this giant man were he looked to be around two feet taller than she, and he seemed to be at least three feet wide at the shoulders, tapering down to powerful hips and thighs. His handsome features were those of an Asian and he wore his long raven hair tied with a black band at the back of his head. The man wore a black martial arts gi complete with a black belt. Coco saw he had a small communications headset on. The giant spoke gently in a deep voice, "Good evening, Ma'am, Mr. Porter."
"No need for formality, Gunner. The lady is a member of our family as of now, and she'll be bunking with me. Her name is Coco Devereaux. Coco, I'll warn you, if Gunner or others of the Crew try to con you into their Texas Hold 'Em games be careful. I've heard rumors from friends who've been suckered in they cheat!" Gunner and Coco both laughed and she tentatively withdrew a small hand from Bill's grasp and extended it to the giant. Gunner told her, "Don't let Bill lie to you, Coco, he taught us all our best card cheats. He's an artist at it. We do have our own code of ethics, though, we don't cheat on any pot larger than pocket change." He engulfed her hand, wrist, and much of her forearm with his one of his own huge hands. Bill laughed loudly and told Gunner, "Back off there, Gunner, I saw her first! Oh, by the way, pass on to the rest of the Security Team, Coco's security is Priority Alpha as of now."
