bed. Outside the window, the common room was empty, for which she was grateful. It still made her uncomfortable the men could see her almost all the time, but they were either in their own sleeping quarters or gone. Nude, she padded to the cleansing room and used the facilities. There was a small square glass enclosure and she figured out the mechanism with only a small amount of difficulty and gratefully stepped into the stream of warm water. It soothed away the tenderness in her breasts and she washed the dried residue from her body, seeing the streaks on her thighs with wonder at the prodigious amount. S-species probably produced more sperm than ordinary humans at a guess, for everything else about them was enhanced and superior.
Despite the gush of the warm water, she shivered slightly. The engineer they called Armada was as tall as Ran Kartel and had the same lean build. But the other one, Colonel Helm, was enormous. The thought of him taking her was daunting.
But also exciting.
It was shameful, but her pussy suddenly felt hot and wet as she imagined it. The heat and rush of moisture embarrassed her, and Jerra wondered at her purely physical reaction. Undoubtedly, it was the injection, plus the ambassador had done a very good job of her initiation into the pleasures of sexual intercourse. Never in her life had she imagined such acute sensation possible. How he held her afterwards was a revelation also, for she didn't realize how frightened she'd been the past days since she'd been captured. The way his strong arms had cradled her against his powerful body made her feel safe and protected. Though, when she thought about it, they had just met and it was an illusion, albeit a pleasant one.
Well, more than just met, considering what they'd done together. She blushed again, grateful no one could see it.
After washing her hair, she carefully dried it and found in a small cabinet a comb and other necessities. Refreshed, she stepped outside with a towel wrapped around her body, and realized with a small grimace her only article of clothing still consisted of the pale blue, barely-there gown. She slipped it on, ran the comb through her long curls one more time, and went out into the center room.
It was a relief to see a covered tray sat on the table. When she lifted the lid, she found the typical type of food she had been fed so far on the ship. The substances on the plate didn't look familiar but tasted actually quite good. The strip of something that tasted like beef helped ease her hunger, and other similarly shaped items represented vegetables or fruits. The beverage left for her also had a strange but not unpleasant taste, and as hungry as she was, she didn't turn up her nose. She ate almost everything, and replaced the lid.
Now what should she do?
Fed, clean, and apparently all alone, she went curiously to the door that accessed the ship. It was activated by a device that scanned the eye of the individual who wanted to open it, and she tried, only to see a flashing red light that made her step back immediately and blink. It wasn't a huge surprise she was a prisoner and confined to the cabin space, but it still made the panicked feeling return a little.
What did they expect her to do when they weren't using her for the purpose she had been kidnapped to fulfill? She was not just a body, but also had a mind, and she was used to being active. She had worked back on Earth as a surgical nurse in a prestigious hospital. She had to wonder if the S-species bothered to explain the disappearance when they took someone. Surely her parents would inform the facility what had happened to her, and since females were appropriated often enough, no one would be surprised. Every female human was aware of the possibility. She just hadn't expected it to happen to her.
The hiss of the pressurized mechanism that trigged the door made her feel a nervous thrill. It wasn't Ran Kartel but instead the young engineer, Armada. She took another
