I went to the mattress and lay down. "I'm sorry, Captain, I'm just exhausted," I said. And I was-the experience with the milking machine had left me spent. My breasts, and especially my nipples, ached with what they'd endured. I couldn't imagine going through that every day, or maybe even multiple times a day. How often did the G'Oran milk their human captives, anyway?
I heard Captain Clark walk over. I opened my eyes and saw her bare feet and shins. "They'll drug us again soon," she said. "Make us feel aroused again. Just so you're ready for it."
I was too numb to feel anything at that moment. "Where did they take the Major?"
"I don't know. Apparently the information that I've read has been incomplete at best. Or they've changed their procedures since it was last updated."
I rolled over enough to look up at her. From my perspective, her face was bracketed by her breasts, her nipples still distended from the suction cups. "Someone will rescue us, won't they?"
"I'm certain they're trying," she said.
That was the first time she'd even implied that we might not be saved. I felt a rush of terror at the realization that she, the Captain, my Captain, might no longer be certain of the truth of her statements.
She knelt beside the mattress and stroked my tangled hair back from my face. "Panic won't help anything, Ensign. Yes, we're naked, and helpless, and they can do whatever they want to our bodies. But not to our spirits. That's where our courage is."
I looked into her calm, clear eyes. "Are you scared?"
"Terrified."
"Really?"
"Ensign, they're doing everything to me that they're doing to you. If you're scared, what makes you think I'm not?"
I sat up, too. I felt both ashamed and comforted by her admission, so I made one of my own. "I saw you and...Major Thrace together. After they drugged us the first time."
She did not appear embarrassed. "Are you married, Ensign?"
"No, ma'am."
"I am. I have a husband. And Major Thrace has a wife."
It took a moment for that to sink in. When she saw I understood, she continued.
"As bad as it was for us, it was far worse for the Major. Here she was, locked in a room with two attractive naked women, artificially aroused, and she believed she couldn't let herself touch them. Never mind that we, too, felt just like she did. I knew what she was going through, and so I went to her." She looked away. "I had to order her to fuck me. And she cried."
I couldn't imagine Thrace in tears, unless they were tears of rage. Which maybe they were.
"And when they drug us again, if Thrace isnt back, it seems inevitable that you and I will become intimate. I don't want you to feel guilty about it, Ensign. This is a crisis situation, and whatever we have to do to get through it is all right."
I looked into her face, so strong and intelligent. "Yes, ma'am."
"Have you ever been with a woman?"
"Not...fully, ma'am." It was only once, in a shower at the academy with my roommate, and we giggled through most of it. There were no giggles today, though. "I mean, I know...I know what to do."
She smiled gently. "I'm sure you do. And I'll try to reciprocate so that the experience isn't awful for either of us."
The gas began to hiss into the room, just as Captain Clark had said. I looked around in panic, but she grabbed my face in her hands and said, "Remember, Ensign-you're not alone."
I couldn't break away from her gaze, and we looked into each other's eyes for a long moment. She feels it, too, I thought. The same ache deep in her tortured pussy, the same agonized wetness, the same desire to...to...
