I had just about finished cleaning the suit-up room--mopping, wiping, and scrubbing every surface until it looked as close to new as I could make it--when an attention shock snapped through my collar. I jerked upright with a sharp gasp.
"Slave Six, it is now approaching Second Watch. Your presence is required in the wardroom to serve a meal."
"Mistress, this slave understands and hastens to obey."
I stowed the cleaning supplies and hurried to the crew head to freshen up. Before serving, I stopped by Engineering Control to strip out of my harness and hang it in the locker assigned to me.
When I arrived in the wardroom, Mistress and Zahra were seated at the table, drinking coffee and talking. Zahra spotted me from the corner of her eye and half-rose from her chair, a blade appearing in her hand as if by magic. Her muscles coiled, ready to strike, before recognition dawned. She exhaled sharply and sat back down, flicking the knife away with a sneer.
I walked to Mistress's side and knelt before her, gaze lowered. She placed a hand on my head.
"You two have not been formally introduced," she said. "Six, this is Zahra, the Dancer's pilot. She's been with me for years. You may trust her."
Coming from Mistress, that was high praise.
Mistress continued, "Zahra, this is Six. Our new engineer. I expect you two to get along. Six is very loyal and, I hope, quite talented in her field."
I caught the way Zahra curled her lip at me. Disgust.
"You brought a slave kus on board?" she scoffed. "And you expect her to do anything besides spread her legs? With this crew?"
"Six has many talents," Mistress said smoothly. "You should avail yourself of all of them. She's particularly skilled with her tongue. You should try her."
Zahra's expression darkened, her revulsion plain. "I prefer my bedmates to have some fight in them. Besides, who the hell wants sloppy seconds from this lot?"
"Six keeps herself quite tidy. Don't you, pet?"
"Yes, Mistress," I answered promptly. "This slave begs to serve Mistress Zahra in any way that pleases her."
Zahra let out a short, contemptuous laugh. "Don't even think about it, kus," she said, her voice like a blade sliding from its sheath.
"As Mistress wishes," I replied softly.
Mistress didn't push the matter further. "Now, food," she said, shifting the conversation.
They placed their orders, and I withdrew to the kitchen. As I prepared their meals, I could hear Zahra pressing Mistress for information, subtly fishing for details on the ship's next destination. Mistress answered in her usual measured way--never confirming or denying, giving just enough to string Zahra along without actually telling her anything.
Once the food was ready, I presented it with the practiced precision I had been taught--Mistress's plate first, then Zahra's. Zahra dug in, eating with gusto but little grace, while I knelt beside my Mistress's chair, waiting to be fed small bites from her fingers.
Halfway through the meal, Mistress made a subtle hand gesture. I knew what it meant. I was to beg food from Zahra's plate.
I shifted positions, crawling to kneel beside Zahra. I did not look at her, only waited.
I didn't have to wait long.
Zahra turned in her chair, her booted foot lashing out without warning. The impact landed square between my legs, a brutal shock of pain exploding through my pelvis. I barely had time to process it before the deck met me, hard and unyielding. My vision swam as I curled in on myself, gut clenched against the throbbing ache that radiated from my pelvic bone through my belly and thighs. Bile surged in my throat, and I swallowed hard to keep from retching.
Zahra looked down at me with scorn. "I told you to stay the fuck away from me, kus," she snarled.
"Zahra," Mistress said sharply. "That was unnecessary."
Zahra wiped her mouth with the back of her hand and shoved her chair back from the table. "I don't want that thing near me," she growled.
Mistress exhaled through her nose. "Six. Heel."
The command cut through my haze of pain like a whip crack. I forced my trembling limbs to move, crawling back to Mistress's side. My body protested the motion, but I straightened into my usual kneeling position, focusing on stillness, on control. I would not disgrace my Mistress by puking on the deck. I would not humiliate her by pissing myself. I forced myself to be calm. To endure.
Zahra finished her meal first, pushing back from the table. "I've got better shit to do," she muttered, stalking out of the wardroom.
Mistress ate the rest of her meal at a leisurely pace. When she was finished, she glanced down at me.
"When you feel able, you may take something to eat for yourself. Then return to your duties."
She rose and left for her cabin.
I remained kneeling for a few moments longer, waiting for the last waves of pain to subside into a dull, lingering ache--like a bad menstrual cramp. When I was steady enough to move, I cleaned the table, wiped down the kitchen, and finally ordered a bowl of slave kibble for myself.
I returned to my place to eat, on the floor next to Mistress's chair, the bland, nutritious pellets grounding me. Comfort food. Halfway through my meal, I shifted position, pressing my chest against the edge of the bowl as I reached up to cup my breasts, massaging gently to draw down my milk. The relief was instant--the pressure that had built up since morning eased as warm liquid splashed into the bowl. The sensation sent a faint, familiar tingle through me, an arousing comfort.
