Blue Planet (sci fi, D/s, wife) Chapter Three, part 2 As they rode down the glowing white hallway Robert kept his eyes closed, emitting small grunts of discomfort each time the speeding cart jolted over some tiny irregularity in the flooring. He felt something touch his thigh and turned toward where Debbie sat beside him, opening his eyes. He saw that she was staring at him with an expression that was almost… hungry, he realized, her hand moving slowly up and down the front of his thigh. He gave her a tired smile and returned a patient one, squeezing his thigh gently before withdrawing her hand and directing her eyes at the hallway that receded behind the cart. I just hope, Robert thought, whatever we’re getting into here, we can handle it. Strangely, something deep in his mind told him that so long as he stayed close to Debbie, he would be all right. She would take care of him. She would take care of him? But trying to flick out his mind to snatch full meaning from any of these strange thoughts only earned him another ache between his temples, so he simply let his mind sink to a sort of blankness and turned to stare out at the whizzing walls and floor falling away into the distance. When the cart finally stopped it was at another recess which turned out to be another elevator. The gaunt man slipped down from the drivers seat of the cart and stepped to the opening, but this time he did not enter. Instead he turned to them. "This is as far as I can go. But just follow your instincts and you will do well." He turned to Debbie. "Do you know where it is you must meet the courier?" "Of course" she said, patiently but as if addressing someone who might begin annoying her very quickly with too many more foolish questions. The gaunt little man nodded. The entire indoctrination had taken, he realized, down to the rendezvous instructions. Too bad they could only afford to implant the where, when and who of the transfer… not the how. For their benefit he simply nodded. "Good luck, then. Your possessions are already loaded on the craft. I wish you success." Debbie nodded acknowledgingly and entered the elevator, turning to face the door. Robert followed her and was turning as the door closed and the elevator began to move upward, gathering speed. Debbie stood, seemingly bored and distracted, not bothering to look over at him, and spoke almost off-handedly. "By the way" she said "the first chance we get, I’m going to tie you up and fuck you half to death. And I think I’ll have my name tattooed on your cock, just to be sure you know who you belong to." Robert looked at her, his mouth falling open in stunned shock. She had never, not in all the time he’d known her, even whispered anything like this, not even during her most naughty moments when she’d had a few glasses of wine. She slowly turned to match his gaze and there was a defiant, playful grin on her lips. She turned back to face the door once more, leaving Robert utterly speechless. Before he could react, the elevator slowed, stopped and the doors slid open. Without a backwards glance Debbie strode forward into a narrow hallway that ran off to the left turning a distant corner and to the right where there was a door. As Robert stepped after her, he realized that this was a much more familiar location, the white painted cinder block walls indicating some sort of large, institutional type building. Debbie turned to the right, and without breaking stride, pushed her way through the door. So, she thought, this is what the future will look like. She was standing at the edge of a large, high-ceilinged open space, clearly looking like the main concourse of an airport. In the distance she could make out the opening that led to various gates while the entire wall to the far left was little more than a bank of windows looking out at what must have once been a massive parking lot, but which now was merely the last resting place of a broken down and abandoned vehicle here and there. Beyond that was the large red setting sun just slipping behind the jagged silhouette of some industrial looking area. She stopped to sweep her eyes over the space and realized that there were surprisingly few people moving about the acre sized space. Here and there a dwarfish person shuffled rapidly, some looking like maintenance workers, some struggling to tote heavy baggage. As for individuals of her and Roberts stature there simply were none. For the first time Debbie shuddered, wondering if this was truly the eventual fate of everything she knew and was familiar with. It was so sad, so oppressive, so hopeless. Well, she thought to herself, she was going to do something about it and that helped to calm and steady her. Robert stepped up next to her, his gaze also directed at the all too quiet facility. "Jesus" he whispered. He felt Debbie’s hand brush his and he took it, the two exchanging a comforting squeeze of palms as they surveyed the scene before them. "It’s so sad" she said quietly. "Yeah" he replied. Slowly she turned to him, her expression fixed and serious. "Whatever happens, I love you" she said with simple finality. "I love you, too" he echoed and that allowed them both to share a small, comforted smile. "Well" he sighed, "we’d better get on with it." "Yes" she said, giving his hand a final squeeze before releasing it and moving toward the opening that lead to the flight gates. Robert fell into step behind her, somehow aware that this was the proper position for him to occupy. With each step her hips swayed seductively and he at least had a moment to enjoy the vision of her from this particular angle. He even experienced a tiny jolt of excitement when he idly thought if she’d really meant what she’d said to him in the elevator. It took them five minutes to reach the departure gate for the flight where a computer panel next to a sealed door asked for their names in calm, polite tones as well as their flight identity codes. Debbie announced herself as Jem Alaasha and rattled off a long string of numbers and letters that popped into her head, implanted in her mind for just this purpose. When it was his turn Robert suddenly knew that he was to call himself Jex Alaasho and without thinking spoke the long sequence of digits and alpha characters that simply seemed to materialize in his thoughts. The computer thanked them and the door slid open, revealing a long tunnel which they entered. At the other end of the tunnel they ducked slightly to enter what was clearly the cabin of a craft of some sort, though its layout was strikingly similar to that of a jumbo jet of their age, with the exception that the windows showed only blackness outside. As they stepped into the cabin they were met with their first truly startling surprise since waking to find themselves in this future world - the steward who greeted them was strikingly similar to what they had come to be known as "greys" in their own time. The little figure was no more than three feet tall, its body thin, its limbs spindly with long, delicate fingers. And it actually did have a greyish tint to its utterly hairless and apparently naked skin. Its eyes were large, black pools that seemed to be grinning at them pleasantly as it looked from Debbie to Robert and gave a slight, graceful nod to its head, extending a slim arm to indicate the wide aisle of the craft. Debbie shot a startled glance at Robert but then caught herself and forced a cool expression onto her face. Something was telling her that she should adopt a somewhat more haughty attitude in her dealings with certain of the species they were bound to encounter on this journey and this was one of them. The steward turned and moved with smooth, gliding steps up the aisle and Debbie fell in behind it with Robert bringing up the rear. As they passed the rows of seats they noticed that they were very large and plush, and had belts that were designed to loop over the shoulders as well as across the waist. Robert did a quick calculation and estimated that the cabin in which they were moving could seat close to one hundred, but there were no more than a dozen couples scattered around it. Then it struck him that all of the current occupants were apparently quite young, none seeming to be anything approaching middle age, and all of the pairs were composed of very attractive women dressed in a variety of colorful hues and garments similar to those Debbie wore, and men, each of them slim and attractive, attired in a fashion almost identical to Robert himself. Even more surprising, they all appeared to be completely human. As the little grey creature directed them to a pair of seats toward the front of the cabin, which they both suddenly realized were some of the more expensive and therefore prestigious places, Robert glanced around and saw two more of the little stewards delivering various objects to other passengers further forward. At the end of the cabin was some sort of galley and further spaces beyond. Robert strained for a moment to see if the knowledge of what was up there would come to him but it remained simply a space he apparently wasn’t really supposed to know or care anything about. When he turned back Debbie was standing, staring at him, apparently waiting for him to slide into the seat against the bulkhead of the craft. He gave her a sheepish grin and slipped in, reaching to buckle himself into place. By the time he pulled all the belts tight the little grey creature had deftly assisted Debbie in strapping herself down. It gave her an inquiring, open look and she shook her head, dismissively. The creature nodded and turned to move forward through the cabin. Robert looked around, attempting to absorb their surroundings and noticed that Debbie seemed somewhat bored and tense. "Honey" he said quietly, "are you all right?" She flicked him a glance, sighed and nodded. "Yes" she said, her tone slightly weary. "It’s just… I feel so…. I don’t know… funny. Like I’m not really myself." "What do you mean" he asked, his voice now almost a whisper. She shook her head. "I don’t know. I’ve been having some very weird thoughts… feelings, whatever… ever since… you know." "What weird feelings" he said, beginning to become concerned. "Just…" she paused, then shrugged slightly "weird. Like I’m not completely myself." Robert considered this a moment. "Like what you said to me in the elevator" he said quietly. Debbie nodded and could feel the slight warmth of a blush rising into her cheeks. "Yes, like that" she said, averting her eyes uncomfortably. Robert smiled at her. "Well, if it makes you feel any better, I kind of… liked the idea." She looked into his eyes, her own holding tense concern and even, he thought, hopeful expectation. "Did you" she asked, her own voice little more than a breath. Now it was Roberts turn to avert his gaze as he nodded, smiling slightly. Debbie sighed with relief, then quickly looked around them. "I just wish…" "Wish what" he asked quietly. Her face pulled into a tight, impish grin though she only flicked her eyes over him briefly. "That there were private cabins on these things. You know, we still haven’t…." She let the unfinished sentence dangle in the air between them. Robert sighed and rolled his eyes. "Don’t remind me" he grumbled, then appeared thoughtful. "I wonder if they have a Mile High Club in this day and age." Debbie giggled and the blush spread. Suddenly there was a deep rumble throughout the craft that caused them both to look around sharply. Other passengers were making no acknowledgement of the event, continuing to either talk quietly or view small screens attached to the backs of the seats in front of them or even lay back, eyes closed, resting. Robert and Debbie exchanged a quick glance, both realizing that this was something they had been unprepared for, for which no explanation had popped automatically into their minds, fully formed and fresh as if pulled from their actual memories of experience. So the information they had been force fed had gaps, perhaps small ones about tiny, insignificant areas but gaps nonetheless. And that made them both a bit wary, muting their growing sense of anticipation for the up-coming adventure. Moments later they could feel the craft beginning to move, though there was still nothing visible outside the blackened windows. Debbie gripped the armrest and Robert gently laid his hand across hers, giving it a comforting squeeze. The entire craft rumbled and jostled and both got the sense that it was rising, lifting, sloping upwards, tilting and gathering speed. Around them the dull rumble grew until it filled the entire space, a deep vibration of tremendous force and energy pulsing through the craft. They were pressed back hard into their seats, and for a few moments it actually became difficult to breath against the press of the acceleration. It seemed to go on and on increasing at a constant rate, and the angle seemed to get steeper and steeper until the front of the craft must have been pointing directly upwards, rumbling and shuddering and rattling them both around in their seats as the roar of sound continued to grow and grow. And then, almost as if a switch had been thrown, there was a violent jolt and the motion seemed to vanish, the sound dying away around them. Robert and Debbie exchanged a glance, both wondering what had just occurred and what they might expect next. What it turned out to be was the windows slowly fading with a growing light, as if they were actually viewing screens at last being turned on. Both of them turned and craned toward the small rounded square and were stunned to realize that they were looking out and down at the Earth slowly receding behind and below them into a sea of utter blackness. Looking off toward the rim of the disk they could see that they were clearly beyond the atmosphere of the shining, blue planet and heading away from it at a steady pace. And for the first time since they had awakened on that white, glowing, soft surface dressed only in the remnants of their wedding clothes, the hard, shocking reality of their situation hit them with full force. Without removing their eyes from the vision before them, their hands groped, found one another and squeezed tightly. "My God" Debbie whispered in stunned breathlessness "this is really real." A thin, quiet, soothing voice flowed through the cabin. "Please prepare for warp injection. Remain seated and prepare for warp injection. Thank you." Robert and Debbie exchanged another wary look and immediately shifted into their seats, pressing themselves back against them, not sure what to expect. The sound of a low, ringing tone rolled through the cabin, followed by another, and a third. A moment later they both got a strange sense of sudden acceleration that pressed them back into their seats and it seemed as if the cabin before their eyes stretched, elongating as if they were inside a telescope that was being suddenly pulled to its full length in a violent movement before snapping back to its original shape, jolting them violently. They looked back towards the window but saw that it was, once again, blank and empty. But now, for the first time, they realized that they were bathed in a strange, tingling sensation, as if their souls were drawing in a long, endless deep breath. It was some moments before they realized that what they were experiencing was weightlessness. They exchanged a startled glance, both surprised to see the hair of the other begin to drift slightly, as if they were underwater, and feeling the loose, buoyant sensation of drifting up against the harnesses that held them to their seats. "Wow" Robert said in quietly awed tones. Debbie giggled, feeling the fluttering throughout her body, the sensation of her breasts no longer drawn downwards by gravity. It was strangely erotic and she closed her eyes to savor the tickling that bathed her, inside and out, her nipples tightening to tender, sensitive points that floated and brushed against the thin, light fabric of her billowing garments. When she finally opened her eyes, she looked over and noticed Roberts brow was deeply furrowed. "What’s wrong" she said, beginning to grow alarmed. Robert shook his head. "I don’t know. I just don’t feel all that well." He sighed heavily. "I’ve had a headache since…. well, you know. I think I just need to get some sleep." "Of course" Debbie said, lightly patting the back of his hand. She turned and motioned in the direction of one of the stewards who immediately floated back from the front of the cabin towards them, pulling itself along the seats as if floating beneath the surface of a clear pool. "My consort requires something to help him sleep" she said to it. It nodded, spun itself around and pulled itself gracefully back toward the galley space at the front of the cabin. Debbie continued to pat and rub his hand as his chest heaved in great bellows of breath. The steward returned holding a tiny tablet which he extended to Debbie who took it and raised it to Roberts lips. He swallowed it and within moments his eyes slipped closed, his breathing slowed and shallowed and he was completely unconscious. Debbie dismissed the steward with a nod and at last leaned back in her seat, turning her thoughts to the specifics of what she was expected to accomplish. She knew that she was to travel to the next stop of this particular craft, a planet called something unpronounceable of which she could not seem to draw up any thoughts or visions. All she could really seem to pull out of the implanted information was that it was some sort of resort planet. She sighed. At any rate, it was there that she was to go to a certain address and meet a certain individual, the names of which she knew were Sandistra at the House of Indulgence, but the specific meaning of those titles was not supplied to her. There she would be given the information which she would then take to a different planet and pass along to someone else. Try as she might, she could not seem to grasp anything specific about that second destination and then it came to her that this was a deliberate security measure built into the implant. She would only know where she had to deliver the information once she had retrieved it. She was so focused on her thoughts that when the little grey steward floated to her offering a small squeeze bottle with a straw jutting from it, she took it absently and sucked some of the sweet, sticky fluid into her mouth, swallowing it without thinking. It was soothing and warm, but a moment later it seemed to reach her stomach and a rippling shudder of delicious tickling warmth flooded her. She looked at the container for some sort of markings but saw none. She leaned into the aisle and scanned the cabin, looking for the steward who was already arriving back at the galley space at the fore of the cabin. Debbie craned around in her seat, looking back and across the aisle at another pair of passengers a few seats back and saw that the statuesque, raven haired woman seated there with the outrageously colorful make-up was also sipping on such a bottle, seeming to savor each mouthful before she swallowed it. But what riveted Debbie’s attention was the fact that the woman had her legs spread wide apart, and the slender, blond male that had been in the seat beside her as Debbie and Robert had passed them upon boarding was now down before the womans seat, his hands pressing up and outwards on the underside of her thighs, lifting and parting her long, slender legs, his face lowering into her crotch. As he seemed to brush his lips over the woman’s sex, the woman sighed and leaned her head back, closing her eyes, her breath beginning to grow deep and heaving. Debbie turned in her seat, a jolt of embarrassment shooting through her at what she had just witnessed, but the vision seemed to send a deep tickling desire deep into her that added to the building throb of her own pussy. She suddenly realized that her free hand was lightly wandering over the top of her thigh, tracing small circles that teased up toward the join of her spread legs before flitting away again off toward her knees. She had never been so horny in her life. This was not something she could deny to enjoy for its own sake nor be distracted from. Not this time. But she couldn’t just… just…. She looked forward into the cabin and could see the arms of another woman raise, bend and fold back to grip the head rest of the seat in which she sat, and instantly knew that between her legs her own consort was providing her with a kiss of ultimate pleasure, a realization that was confirmed a moment later when the woman’s feet appeared, jutting straight upward, pressed hard and parted wide against the back of the seat in front of her. Debbie shot a glance over to Robert and saw that he was out cold. Without thinking she whined, feeling a flush of disappointment and a twinge of anger at his neglect of her need. At that moment the first sigh of feminine pleasure came from somewhere behind her, followed a moment later by a whimper of another woman on the rising slope of arousal fueled by the tongue and lips of a consort and Debbie could stand it no longer.
