physique or mental acuity.”
“Then I’m a very lucky girl because I got a two- fer.”
She laughed at his quizzical look. “Never mind.” She said between chuckles. “I just meant that I’m doubly-lucky because I have him and you. Both prime specimens of your race.”
They stopped at the opened door to their room and she took the chance to run her hands over his chest, enjoying the feel of his hard muscles, encased in soft, caramel-colored, hairless skin. She certainly was a lucky girl, especially when his cock started to harden and was soon reaching for her body. She gave him a naughty smile and then stepped into the bedroom.
Ty stood for a moment, thanking whoever may be listening for the gift of his little Earther, then chased her into the bathing chamber, where she was laughing and fumbling with the buttons of the control panel.
They eventually got cleaned, but not before getting even dirtier than before.
CHAPTER 7
“There she is,” Kor said with pride and motioned to the main vid-screen, “the Adastra.”
Lacy sat at her console in the Command Center and looked up at the image on the screen. For a moment, the vid-screen showed nothing but distant twinkling stars, then a huge black shape seemed to emerge from the shadows. She gasped, covering her mouth with her hands, mesmerized by the sight. The ship had materialized out of the darkness like a wraith.
“How did it do that?” She asked, fascinated and awed.
There was no mistaking the pride in Kor’s voice as he explained, “Instead of the standard gray or silver usually seen on spacecrafts, Arathians build black ships. This feature allows them to blend in with the void of space, especially when the windows are shielded and the interior lights are masked. The Adastra also has a shell that imitates the stars on the opposite side of the ship so we can blend into space perfectly.”
“Camouflage.” she murmured under her breath.
“Yes, exactly. We’re one of the only races that use this technique. It’s most common on our research vessels, like the Adastra, whose primary role is not to engage in combat, but to stay under the radar.”
“Lieutenant Simdon to Captain Kor’ijak.” Said a voice over the comm-link, startling her out of her admiration of the ship.
“Captain here. How are things on my ship Lieutenant?” Kor asked.
“Just fine sir, and I’m glad that you and your mate are back safely.”
“Not as glad as I am.” Kor said, sharing smiles with Ty and Lacy. “Gather all of the senior officers in the Command Center. Once we dock I will have an announcement to make and I want all present.”
“Yes sir!” The reply came immediately.
“We will be with you momentarily. Captain out.”
He ended the communication and began to manually guide the shuttle closer to the Adastra. As they came around the far side of the massive ship, the docking bay at the rear of the Adastra came into view. She saw men walking around inside and had a moment to wonder how they were accomplishing their work without space suits and helmets.
Ty smiled at her surprise and explained, “There’s an environmental barrier. We just passed through it, in fact. It’s an invisible shield that allows the docking bay doors to be open for shuttles, while still keeping the bay safe from the dangers of space.”
“Yeah, oxygen is a good thing.” She said, smiling, more focused on Kor and how he was maneuvering the shuttle to safely touch down inside. The moment the shuttle was docked, men hustled over to the craft and began all manner of tasks. She strained to keep them in her sights, but the vid-screen wasn’t meant for spying.
Kor felt intense relief that they had made it safely aboard the Adastra without another run-in with the Voro-Anim. There had been a good chance that the scouting ship they destroyed hadn’t been the only one in that sector of space. Apparently they were in the Gods’ favor since
