The sweat was dripping from Penny's newly red body. She had put herself into the private sauna she had access to, leading right out to her own wave pool. Penny was hoping to test out the limits of her new body. The temperatures were well above what a normal hot day on the desert planet of Bok would be, and yet Penny could still stand it. She was only wrapped in a white towel. She had her eyes closed as she listened to the music of the steel cymbals of Drosinosia.
A sudden chill came in, as Penny realized the door to the sauna had been opened. Penny's eyes snapped open, only to find her lover Ilka wrapped up in a small towel. "May I join you?"
Penny smiled and nodded. "Please." Ilka made her way beside Penny and sat down on the bench. She leaned back and shut her eyes. "Is the music okay?"
Ilka let out a small hum of agreement. "This is quite warm, Penelope. Are you certain that you will be able to sustain the heat?"
Penny pursed her lips. "I've been down here for an hour. I'm not that same Earth woman you knew before."
Ilka opened one eye to check out the body on her girlfriend. Penny's towel was barely covering her nice tits, and her long legs were nicely folded, flexing her thighs. The sweat was coming out of Penny's skin, and yet she did not seem affected by the heat. Ilka waved her hand back and forth as she let out a small exhale.
"Feeling the heat already?" Penny kept her eyes closed as she grinned.
"I would prefer the refreshing pool," Ilka mentioned.
Penny shrugged. "I think I proved I can handle myself on this planet now." She got up, with Ilka following. The two went out of the sauna. Ilka sighed with relief.
The sunlight danced around the room from the water, beaming down from the skylight. "Come on!" Penny whipped off her towel, then hopped up to the edge of the pool. She dove in, then emerged at the far end. She whipped her newly white hair around and laughed uproariously. "Don't leave me lonely!"
Ilka tore off her own towel and did the same, diving in and popping out of the surface only a few feet from Penny. "You know I am from the mountain people, you tease! I am not as adapted to the desert lowlands!"
Penny splashed Ilka, who squealed with delight. Penny swam over and clutched her lover in her arms. The two of them kissed as they tread water. They swam over to the shallow ramp of the pool, then they laid down on the tile. There was only a few inches of refreshing water surrounding them.
Penny had Ilka on top as the two of them kissed and fondled each other. Ilka rubbed Penny's rounded shoulders and biceps as they smooched. Penny was so in love with this fine woman. They never argued, and Ilka was always ready to have sex. She could make a fine mate, and Ilka was probably the most loyal and patriotic Boccan that Penny ever met.
Ilka moaned as she rode Penny's hips. Penny held onto Ilka's breasts as the two of them fucked away. Penny stared up as Ilka had her eyes shut. Penny was all that more stunned at how beautiful Penny looked at that moment.
Ilka leaned forward as she steadied herself. Penny held onto Ilka's ass cheeks as the two of them humped. "This can all be ours," Penny whispered.
"I hope so, love," Ilka whined.
Penny got Ilka on all fours, then grabbed her hips from behind and rammed her pelvis into Ilka's ass. As much as she wanted a toy right now, a good old rear bang always did the trick for Penny. Ilka had her back arched nicely as she put her chest to the tiling. Penny ran her hand along Ilka's tight corded back, as well as felt up her tight ass.
Just as Penny was doing the big build-up, the communicator chime went off. Penny sighed and pulled away from her lover. "Yeah?"
"Sorry to disturb you."
It was Willa.
"Your excellency, I have serious news. Your father has taken ill. I have been given the message from your mother, and I assumed you would wish to know right away."
"Shit!" Penny got up on her feet. "Thanks, Willa! You were right to do so!" She got up and threw a robe on, and Ilka did the same.
"Will you be visiting your parents?" asked Ilka as they walked briskly down the hallway.
"I have to," Penny said without stopping. "Damn it. I've been away too long."
It had been over a month since Penny had transformed into a Boccan. She had given a major announcement to the population, who seemed relieved that they once again had a Boccan as a queen. She had also announced that the possibility of enhancing the planet with genetic resequencing. The prospect was not received well, and Penny ensured that no Boccan would be subject to unwanted manipulation.
Penny arranged with the trade ministry to have a freighter dispatch. One was available in three days, which would allow Penny to stay in the Sol system for two weeks. She had asked Ilka to come with her, to offer support. Ilka was hesitant at first, but wanted to be there for her love.
The day before dispatch, Penny was in playing with Khazal. Khazal was cooing with delight at the sight of Penny.
"Excellency, we wish you a safe journey," Groovi said, looking tired. "I pray to the goddesses for your father's recovery."
Penny looked away from Khazal at Groovi. "Thank you, sweetie. Hey, are you getting enough sleep?"
Groovi rubbed her eyes. "Your assistance with the nursemaid is most welcome. However, little Khazal is only given to sleep at one hour at a time." She yawned and stretched. "I fear we will never get used to being mamas."
"You two are doing great!" Penny focused back on Khazal, making a goofy face, Khazal laughed with delight. "Oh my God, Khazal! You are soooo cute! Yes yes
yes!
"
"You are very skilled at motherhood," Groovi said with a weak smile. "Perhaps you and Ilka will consider making your own heirs."
Penny mulled it over. "She might be the one. We'll see how it goes. At least she'll get to meet the parents."
"Penny, you were concerned with me and Oola going to Earth," Groovi said. "Are you not as concerned with Crele and Ilka being discovered as well?"
Penny did her best to spare Groovi's feelings, knowing that Crele and Ilka were far more likely to behave themselves. "We're going to try a few tricks this time. A little makeup and wigs. Although..." She bared her teeth. "Trying to disguise Crele? She'll stand out, even more than Oola. On the other hand, no one said anything to you two, and you did nothing to hide yourselves!"
Groovi grinned. "We do not hide! I suffer no shame."
Khazal made a familiar noise. "Oh,
Khazal!
" Penny laughed, then smelled the result. "Oh, baby! Time to get you cleaned up."
Two shuttles dispatched from the surface of Bok that day to rendezvous with the main freighter. Crele would fly one, and Ilka would fly the other. They were going to double the amount of filter sand this time, a special gift to the Shaskalans. This would keep them in good supply of pure silicon for a long time.
They boarded the freighter and departed the star system. Penny was always amazed by the way time and space kind of stretched out in front of the ship as they went into slipstream.
"We also have to pick up a few things for Groovi and Oola while we're on Earth," Penny remarked to Ilka. "Oola wants some of our booze. She said she misses tequila. Groovi also wants clothes, chocolate, and perfume." She rolled her eyes. "Don't let me forget anything! I don't want Mama Oola mad at me because I can't find her some Patrón."
"Will the Shaskalans mind that we sacrificed some of their cargo room for such gifts?" Ilka said with a chuckle.
"I think the amount of sand we bring them will make them happy as it is," Penny replied with a smirk. "The metallic hydrogen we pick up in Wolf 359 should help us out a great deal as well."
