Training began in earnest. There were no more mysterious little games. Tanya and Sterling faced a huge pile of academic work plus days filled with practical exercises as they became familiar with all aspects of the mission. At least they got to work on it all together. Teamwork was emphasized at every opportunity. They were joined by new members of the team at regular intervals and gradually the entire crew was integrated and assembled. The Mars mission vehicles had been assembled in orbit while their training was being completed. Two by two they got ready for the transition into the mission capsule.
The night before they left for orbit, Tanya called Sterling into their now bare living space.
"This is it! This is our last night on Earth. What do you want to do?" she giggled.
"I do believe it's time for the final fuck!" he replied.
"I'm gonna carry a belly full of our sperm into orbit with me. Gimmee, Gimmee!" she cried as she jerked her clothes off.
"Yes ma'am!" he agreed and suddenly he was naked.
They rushed together and fell on the floor. Sterling shoved his dick into her and started stroking.
"Right here on the floor? Our final fuck is gonna be right here on the floor?" she asked.
"No, this is just practice. After we do it here, we'll go to bed."
"I love a man with a plan."
Sterling was so happy to be in the familiar confines of Tanya's beautiful pussy. He knew every notch and bump. He stroked hard into her, feeling for that magic moment when the world went away. Tanya just loved fucking Sterling. She felt his big dick head as it split her repeatedly, driving her closer to the edge of ecstasy. Pussy juice ran down the crack of her ass. This was perfect!
His animal instincts drove him onward and upward, taking her with him.
"Oh god yes!!" she screamed as she climaxed beneath him.
She felt every pulse of his ejaculation as he drained himself into her.
"That feels so damned good. I want your cock in me all the time."
"Then you shall have it! Keep your sheath ready wench. We'll get a shower and then I'll plunder your riches again!" the colonel declared in his best pirate voice.
They got off the floor and scampered into the shower. By now they were old hands at soaping each other up and playing shower games. Sterling was behind her with her tits in his hands and his cock in her ass crack. She reached between her legs and grabbed his cock. It got a thorough cleaning. He turned her around. She could feel his erection poking her belly. She giggled and squeezed his nuts. He bent to her and jammed his tongue into her mouth. She returned the kiss with a vigor born of love. Finally, they rinsed off and got out. They completely dried each other and walked hand in hand into the bedroom.
She leaped on the bed and her legs popped open. He was on her like a wolf on a lamb. She pressed his invading lips into her pussy. He hummed a happy little tune as he engulfed her clit, licking and sucking as hard as he could. She screamed as she came on his face. He drank from her fountain and left not a drop.
"Fuck me again," she moaned.
His cock parted her portal and they once again swam into the rhythm of love. He drove it all the way into her and then stopped.
"Why aren't you fucking me?" she moaned.
"It occurred to me to just hold it in you for a while to enjoy your pussy in earth gravity."
Soon she started to tremble and Sterling knew it was time to do her. He moved deep within her, feeling every inch of her magnificent pussy as it slid up and down his cock.
"Oh yes, that's it!" she whispered. "Harder, faster, I wanna be fucked like a whore."
He held her butt in his hands and squeezed it while he drove into her. Her legs were draped over his shoulders. He moved his hands to her breasts and squeezed them hard. She started to sweat lightly. It beaded up on her nose and forehead. Sterling was sweating too. She felt his perspiration dropping onto her belly as he jammed his cock as far into her as it would go.
"Oh....oh....oh," she puffed, enjoying every second, every stroke, every drop. "Gimme that cum! I want it now!"
He drove into her harder and faster. Her pussy pulsed around his cock. He knew the end was near. He slammed it into her as he came and stiffened out over her as she milked him He had a death grip on her body.
"I hope it's this good when we're weightless,' he groaned as he rolled off of her.
"This is close enough to perfect for me," she whispered. They lay in a lover's embrace and licked each other's sweat like a couple of cats. Finally they drifted off to sleep. The alarm woke them up. It was time to get ready for spaceflight. They took a shower and had some fillet mignon and eggs for breakfast. It was their last chance at earth food and they wanted something to remember earth by. Freshly showered, they reported to the prep area. The technicians helped them into their flight suits. All the extras they needed had already been loaded on the jump rocket.
The bus hauled them and the other astronauts out to the launch pad where a short, squatty space vehicle sat waiting. A group of technicians helped them into the craft, strapped them in and said goodbye.
Tanya and Sterling were seated next to each other. The hatch closed, the warning buzzer sounded and they felt the craft pressurize. The automatic countdown started. When it reached zero, the rocket motor fired up, the grounding clamps released and they were on their way. The heavy G force pushed them back in their seats as the orbiter gained speed. Earth faded away and the sky turned black. They docked with space station number four thirty minutes later.
Space station #4 was a large, comfortable orbiter. It generated its own gravity and had an ion shield around it to deflect radiation. The Mars team assembled in the main conference room. A lieutenant general walked into the space.
"At ease," he barked. "You represent Earth's hope for a new era. When Mars is safe and completely habitable, you are the ones who will have pioneered this new Earth. Terra forming has already begun but it'll be a long time before it is considered safe enough to actually go outside with no space suit. Also, there has been a modification to your ship. It is now equipped with its own gravity. You will still be required to strap in until we find out how reliable it is. We realized right from the beginning that the colony would have to be autonomous, so when we send you off, you'll be on your own. A base camp has been established for you. There will be construction crews living among you for the foreseeable future. You, however, are the finest minds attached to the finest bodies we could find. Your leader is Sterling March until you arrive on Mars. After that, you may select a new leader or keep what you've got. When I leave this room, all military rank is suspended. You will be civilians again until we activate your military rank. Are there any questions?"
There were none since all their questions had been answered already back at the training compound. The general turned on his heel and left the room.
Sterling stood up and addressed the group. "The departure schedule is posted on the board. We will be the first in a flight of five Mars mission vehicles. Any questions?"
There were none. They had all heard this before. The group broke up. He took Tanya's hand and led her to their temporary quarters. He picked her up and carried her into the small space.
"It's bigger than I thought it would be," she remarked.
"How much space do we really need? We can be quite happy here. I won't have to chase you very far," he replied.
"I didn't plan on running very far," she giggled.
"We have a briefing to attend in ten minutes," he observed. "Even though we're like a couple of bunnies, I don't think we can accomplish much before the briefing."
"Oh, but after the briefing, we'll make up for lost time," she replied.
He held her into his body and kissed her. She kind of wriggled against him and he was instantly hard.
"Now see what you've done? I hope it goes away before we start down the corridor."
She laughed, "It's fun making you hard. Lucky for me, all I get is wet."
