Border Station Five

Ema was roused from the rather pleasant sleep she had been enjoying by the sound of her pad chiming. She blinked her eyes open and looked around. The VIP suite, bathed in a warm purple glow, and the blinking green light from her pad was visible from where she lay. Looking down, she pulled back the large blanket and saw that her new steward, Hisi, was sound asleep, his head nestled between her breasts. She noticed the dull glow from her purple nipples reflected ever-so-slightly off of Hisi's obsidian black scales. Ema's pad chimed again, and her steward stirred.

"What time is it?" he asked, looking up at her while blinking his eyes.

"Early," Ema replied, "can your tail reach my pad?" she asked, looking to where it was, next to the nest and behind Hisi. Ema watched as his tail emerged from under the blanket and flopped over the edge of the nest. "Left a bit...no, your left," she said.

"This would be easier if you'd just let me turn," Hisi said.

"I'm far too comfortable, and it has been a long time since a male last shared my nest," Ema increased her hold on her steward to make the point. After a few more attempts, Hisi managed to get the tip of his tail to push the pad closer to the nest. Reaching over, she got her fingers around it, and then Ema placed it onto the top of Hisi's head. "Don't move," she ordered.

"I'm not a table," Hisi complained, his voice muffled as Ema pushed his face into her ample cleavage.

Ema pressed her right thumb against the screen, a different chime was heard, and she saw that Theka was trying to contact her. "Matriarch?" she said after opening the channel.

"Ambassador Zorna is here," Theka replied.

"Already?" Ema said and then sat up. Hisi's head was pushed further into his Captain's breasts as she kept her hold of him. He tried to protest, but Hisi stopped when the tip of Ema's tail rubbed against his genital slit, his resistance disappearing in an instant.

"Commander Zesta has just finished reporting to me," the Matriarch said, "a small fleet of Empire ships entered the system, not too far from where we exited". Ema continued to rub Hisi, at the same time, she listened to Theka, "Her ship has been given clearance to dock. We have about an hour to get everyone up and ready before the Ambassador arrives," Ema looked down and watched as Hisi's bright purple twin cocks emerged. She smiled when they started to leak pre-cum, "I'm going to contact John's guards. Have them keep him away from the Ambassador for now," Theka finished as Hisi moaned. Ema had started to wank one of his cocks, and her pad had picked up the moan, transmitting it to Theka.

"Sorry about that," Ema said as she placed the pad onto the padded floor. She was sitting up in the middle of the nest with her steward in front of her. Ema's ample breasts were resting on his shoulders. Hisi moaned again as she was now slowly wanking both of his cocks.

"Try not to enjoy him too much, Ema," Theka said with a smile, "I'll probably fuck Uszu in the shower. Saves cleaning it up afterwards. See you in an hour," the pad went dark as the communication channel closed. Hisi let out the loud moan he had been holding in.

"I think that's a good idea, don't you?" Ema said as her steward moaned again. She leaned backwards, pulling her breasts off Hisi's shoulders. He looked up at her, and Ema noticed how dazed he was. "Come on then," she said and stood up, "don't make me wait". Ema then headed over to the bathroom, the door chiming as it opened.

Hisi sat in the middle of the nest, his twin cocks fully erect with two lines of pre-cum as it continued to leak out. A few minutes passed, and then he blinked, shook his head and looked around. "Captain?" he called out.

"I'm in the shower," came a muffled voice and Hisi watched as the end of her tail poked through the door. "Hurry up!" she called out. Standing up, he half fell as Hisi went to the bathroom.

John woke from a deep sleep and opened his eyes. He was greeted by one of Nisku's large light blue nipples, which was directly in front of his face. Adjusting where he lay, John remembered the night before and tried to free himself from the grip of the two guards he was sharing the nest with. Etsala had a firm grip on his torso, and his head was currently resting on her left breast. John had discovered how comfy they were to sleep on, having enjoyed himself when sharing a nest with Milsi and then Thissa.

He managed to free his right arm and went to pry Etsala's arm from his waist when he looked at Nisku's nipple again. John reached over and pushed the nipple away from his face. When he let go, it wobbled back into place. The way it moved reminded John of an old type of doorstop which would spring back to its original position while making a loud noise. John reached up to push it again when he noticed one of Nisku's eyes had opened.

"No need to stop," she said while smiling at John, "My body is all yours". Nisku then moved back so that both of her breasts were visible. She watched as John hesitated, and then she smiled when he gave in, reached over and flicked her left nipple. Nisku laughed.

"You can play with mine too," Etsala said from behind John, her grip on his waist increasing. She placed her right breast onto John's head. He sighed and then flicked Etsala's nipple when he found it. "After last night, I am surprised you would be reluctant," she said.

"I might have had sex with four Vipers," John replied, "but I'm still getting used to how freely your race has sex and feels about it. Plus, I'm an alien". He then tried to free himself of Etsala's bear-tight hug. She resisted initially, then raised her right arm so that John could move forward. He lay on his back and looked up at the ceiling. John gasped when Etsala reached down and cupped his balls.

"I can not believe how big and heavy these are," she said as her right hand started to massage them, "it is like they are always full of cum," Etsala then traced the large vein on John's cock with her index finger. John looked down and noticed that he had morning wood. Etsala licked her right hand, covering it in a thick glob of saliva and then gripped his cock. There was enough of it for John to hear a squelch. Etsala slowly pulled his foreskin back as she began to move her hand up and down. She smiled when John groaned.

"Just so you know, that's not how my balls work," John said as Etsala continued her handjob.

"Do not make him cum in the nest," Nisku said as she watched her sister's hand move, "we will get chewed out by the Commander. You remember last time?" she asked.

"I do, but that was worth the telling off," Etsala replied. "Tell us when you are close. I am sure Nisku will happily swallow it," she said as John moaned again.

"I'll do your scales first, then you can do mine," Thissa said as she knelt behind Milsi.

The two Vipers were sitting in front of one of the mirrors near their nest in the station's barracks. With the basking lamp above them, Milsi and Thissa's bodies were warming up. Other Vipers were basking nearby, and the sound of buffers activating filled the room.

"I should be the one to shine your scales first," Milsi replied, "you're the one who has to report to the docking bay," she protested as Thissa activated the buffer. Thissa started on the back of Milsi's head, and she shuddered as the vibrations passed through her body.

"Did you just?" Thissa said with a smile.

"No," Milsi replied, shuddering again. She tried not to make eye contact with Thissa, who looked at her reflection in the mirror. When she did look, Milsi saw that she was smiling.

"You're not the only one to enjoy the vibrations," Thissa replied while gently pressing the buffer down onto the back of Milsi's hood, "although I would have thought you'd have a few toys in your quarters for that," she said and then moved the buffer over to Milsi's back, making sure cover to it equally.

"I do have some," Milsi admitted as the buffer went over her shoulder blades.

"I'm starting to think I should have fucked you last night," Thissa said with a wink.

"Careful, that tickles," Milsi said while trying not to laugh. Her tail whipped back and forth when Thissa used the buffer on the underside. She shuddered again, and Thissa laughed.

"I don't get it," John said as he sat between Nisku and Etsala.

They were inside one of the station's canteens, next to the main concourse. The design and colour were not too dissimilar to the one inside the Cruiser. After having their fill of John, his two guards suggested they go and have something to eat at one of the canteens. With only one VIP aboard Border Station Five, Nisku had pointed out that going to a canteen would be better than the communal eating area. John had agreed, so they enjoyed their breakfast of glowing multi-coloured paste.

"What do you not understand?" Nisku asked as she picked up a large bowl and used her long blue tongue to scoop up some of the paste.

"Why am I getting this food for free?" John replied. He had been thinking about it for a while.

"All paste is free," Etsala replied as she placed one of her three bowls down, "thanks to the logistics required to transport grown and live food around Matriarchy space, we decided long ago just to have high protein nutrient paste," John watched as she picked up another bowl and stick her blunt nose into the contents.

"Does real food exist?" he asked while scooping some of his paste with a finger. John had forgotten which colours he liked, so he asked for one of each. Ten small bowls and a glass of water were placed on his tray.

"It does," Nisku nodded, "you can find it on most planets and some stations, however," she said.

"Real food is expensive, and this is a military station located at the edge of Matriarchy Space," Etsala replied as she finished her sister's sentence.

"Oh, I think I understand," John said as he picked up another bowl. This one had red paste. "What are we doing after breakfast?" he asked.

"We thought you might like some combat training," Nisku replied, "all military bases have at least one Combat Arena where Vipers can practice their skills," she said while placing her now-empty bowl onto the table.

"Hmm, combat training," John said as he thought about it, "why not?" He looked up at Nisku and then turned to look at Etsala, both Vipers smiling at him.

Theka, Ema, and Zesta were standing inside the main docking bay for Border Station Five. The three Vipers were having a long discussion about the arrival of the Lupine Ambassador. Standing to attention and behind them were several security officers, made up of personnel from the station and Ema's fleet. The conversation was interrupted by an alarm sounding. Everyone inside the docking bay looked to their right as one of the Empire ships, which had left its escort fleet, approached the docking bay's shield.

Theka watched the ship as it slowly made its way through. Like most Empire ships, the vessel coming into land was angular and looked like the ship was old, perhaps ancient. Unlike Matriarchy ships, whose appearance was uniform with a sleek design of curves, the Lupine Empire favoured straight lines with many right angles and sections of the hull sticking out. Once the vessel had entered the docking bay, great bursts of flame erupted from the ship's landing thrusters, located along the vessel's underside. As it neared the deck, several pairs of landing gear descended, and with a sickening crunch, the Empire vessel landed.

Without realising it, most of the Vipers assembled within the docking bay had been holding their breath. Each knew it had been some time since an Empire vessel had been allowed to dock at a Matriarchy station. Thanks in part to the Border War, only one other occasion within the last ten years had an Empire vessel been permitted to dock.

The sound of Vipers breathing again was drowned out by the Empire vessel's door unlocking. It was deafening, and to Theka, it sounded like the locking mechanism and door had not been oiled for a long time. When the door swung open, a ramp descended from the vessel and stopped with a screech of metal as it hit the deck of the docking bay.

Stepping onto the ramp was Ambassador Zorna. At eight feet tall, Zorna was a good example of a female Lupine in her prime. She stood proud on her digitigrade legs, her long, fluffy tail swishing back and forth behind her. Her fur had two colours, a dark grey with a hint of brown and light grey. The dark grey fur started just above her wet black nose, along the top of her head and down her back, covering her legs and the top half of her tail. Theka noticed that the lighter grey fur covered most of her head, the inside of her large and pointed ears, down her neck and over her torso. Glancing at her hands and feet, Theka saw that her six fingers and both thumbs had light grey fur from her ankles to the end of her toes.

The Ambassador was wearing a tight-fitting flight suit. The overall colour was black, but some sections reflected the light of the docking bay. Walking down the ramp, Theka noticed how the flight suit clung to her body. It started at the bottom of her neck and ended at her wrists and just above her ankles. The material was stretched when it reached her thick thighs. Zorna had pulled down the suit's zip to just below her very large breasts, their size spreading the top half of the flight suit wide, revealing a lot of light grey and furry cleavage. Her middle pair of breasts was barely visible as she walked down the ramp and stopped before the three Vipers.

"Zorna, so good to see you!" Theka said as she stepped forward, spreading her arms wide. Before the Zorna could reply, she was picked up and hugged.

"You too, Theka, now put me down," she complained, and Theka laughed as she gently lowered her to the floor.

"This is Captain Ema and Commander Zesta," Theka said while gesturing to her left and right.

"Welcome to Border Station Five, Ambassador," Ema said with a bow. Copying her movements, Zesta and the security officers behind her saluted in unison and then bowed.

"My my, I feel like my sister when she visited your Matriarch," Zorna said.

"How is the Empress?" Theka inquired.

"Oh, she's fine. She recently had her fourth litter of pups, all twelve of them," Zorna replied, "thankfully the family wet nurse was available to feed half of them," she said and looked down at her ample chest, "can you imagine six pups feeding at the same time?" Zorna asked as she looked up at Theka.

"I'm afraid not. However, I sometimes wonder what it would be like to have six males sucking on all nipples," she replied with a smile.

"Urgh, no, you might like the idea of being fucked by six Viper males, but six Lupine is five too many for me," Zorna said and then turned when she heard a noise.

At the top of the ramp stood two Lupine males. Both were the same height as the Lupine Ambassador, however, their shoulders and chest were broad. They wore flight suits similar to those of Zorna, the fabric straining to fit their muscular physique. Theka noticed that while their tails were the same length as Zorna's, the fur was short. Both males also had a long mane of hair that stopped just below their shoulder blades.

"This is Graxi and Xepter, my bodyguards," Zorna gestured to the Lupine males as they descended the ramp.

Graxi's fur reminded Theka of wheat shining in the light of a warm summer's day. His hands had white fur that gradually changed to yellow as it passed his wrists. The fur on his feet and both ankles was a dark yellow, almost brown. She saw that the fluffy tip of his tail was the same colour. Graxi made eye contact with Theka as he reached the bottom of the ramp, and she noticed that his eyes were the same warm yellow as Zorna's.

Xepter's fur was ginger and white. The white fur was on most of his face, the inside of his pointed ears, down his neck and torso. He was also covered in white fur from his elbows and ankles down to the ends of his fingers and toes. The rest was ginger.

Once Xepter had descended the ramp and stood to Zorna's left, with Graxi behind and to her right, they both looked up at Theka and nodded. Each bodyguard was holding a nine-foot spear, and they appeared to be made entirely of metal, with the point at the top looking as though it could pierce ship armour.

"Your bodyguards won't need those spears, Ambassador," Zesta said as she gestured to a guard nearby.

"You can try to relieve them of their weapons, Commander, but I don't think your Matriarch will be too pleased with the mess," Zorna warned while looking at her.

"It's okay, Commander," Ema said, "I'm sure they won't misbehave," Ema looked down at the two Lupine males.

"They are only here to protect me, just in case one of your Vipers decides to be silly," Zorna said, "now, where is she?" she asked.

"She?" Zesta queried.

"The Matriarchy sent a fleet of ships to investigate an unknown vessel appearing in a system close to the Empire's border," Zorna replied as she looked at Zesta.

"I see you've upgraded your spy satellites," Theka interrupted.

"We have. Now, where is she, the pilot?" Zorna asked again.

"The pilot is currently in the Combat Arena," Ema said, "the two guards assigned to them thought the pilot might like some practice, see how we do things in The Matriarchy," Ema gestured for Zorna to follow.

The small group of Vipers and Lupines headed towards the nearby double doors. Zesta gave a signal to the assembled security officers. Each one saluted and then dismissed themselves. Arriving at the doors, Zesta stepped forward and placed her right hand against the nearby scanner. A few seconds went by, and the door chimed, opening inwards with a gentle hiss.

"You've been assigned to one of the suites inside the VIP section of the station," Zesta said as she led the group through the doors. "Would you like to visit it to freshen up?" she asked.

"No, thank you, I'd like to meet the Pilot of that ship first," Zorna replied, "what race is she?" she asked as they continued to walk.

"Terran," Theka replied from behind. Zorna stopped and looked up at her.

"Terran?" she asked, "how did..." Zorna stopped as Theka raised her right hand.

"We'll tell you on the way to the Combat Arena, then you can chat to the Terran," she said.

"Very well, lead the way," Zorna replied.

John ran towards a nearby wall, checked the ammo count on his rifle and then skidded to a halt as the wall in front of him exploded. The helmet attached to his armoured Nanosuit automatically tinted the front to protect his eyes and dropped the sound levels to protect his ears while his collar, detecting the pressure wave from the explosion, adjusted the Nanos facing the blast so that they could dissipate the impact. What John's Nanosuit could not do was prevent the tail, which belonged to the Viper who had set off the explosion, from hitting him and flinging him into the air. He grunted from the force of the impact and felt himself fly backwards. Remembering that his new armoured Nanosuit had landing thrusters on the soles of his feet and a Jump Pack attached to his back, John ignited them in unison and flew up.

Instead of seeing the Terran hitting a nearby wall, Trainer Tetzu watched as the male used the momentum of her tail impact to fly up into the air. She had initially been reluctant to train him when he had arrived with Nisku and Etsala. They informed Tetzu that Matriarch Theka wanted the male to be kept busy while the Lupine Ambassador arrived at the station. Tetzu's current train of thought was interrupted as the sensor suite installed inside her armoured Nanosuit detected several incoming rifle rounds. The Viper's honed battle instincts kicked in, and she dived to her right while watching the rounds explode on impact.
