Kol nodded, “Do you like him?”
Jesse looked over at the tiny kitten still meowing and reached out to pet him. His fur was so soft, and the kitten began purring immediately. “I do. Thank you. I can almost forgive you for outfitting yourself, your crew, and your quarters with all these dampening devices.”
Kol leaned down on the bed next to her and began petting the kitten too, “It’s two-fold, one because you owe me for what you have put me through these last months and second, because I don’t want you stealing the ship, or doing anything crazy.”
“Don’t you want to be together?” she asked looking into his grey eyes.
“Of course, I do,” he automatically touched a finger over his heart. “But I also want to do it legally, if possible.”
Jesse turned and looked at the kitten again, “What should we call him?”
“I’ve already named him,” Kol admitted a little sheepishly.
“You named my kitten?” Jesse asked incredulously and doubted the kitten would really be able to leave with her given that he had named him already. Kol had obviously already become extremely attached.
“He was hanging around my quarters and needed a name.”
Jesse was intrigued, she found Alliance people always had the strangest logic for some of their behaviors, “Why did he need a name?”
“I couldn’t keep addressing him as ‘Earth-baby-cat-with-no-name’.”
“Wait, you’ve been talking to the kitten?” she asked.
“Of course,” he looked somewhat taken aback. “I’m not rude.”
“You know it’s just an animal, right?” Jesse asked.
“Who is to say?” he countered then stroked the kitten as if they were best friends and said to the kitten directly, “We don’t know what’s going through your little mind do we Salem?”
Jesse couldn’t believe what she had just heard, “You named my cat ‘Salem?’”
Kol sat up and defended himself. He also picked up the kitten and gently covered his ears, “Salem is a good name for a cat. I checked in the human database. I asked the computer what a popular name for a cat would be and this was one of the best names that turned up. His name is Salem. He likes it and it suits him. Don’t hurt his feelings by saying otherwise.”
“You’re not going to let me take Salem with me, are you?”
“At first, I had every intention of giving him to you, and he’s still technically yours, but he has gotten used to the ship and the crew. And you’ll be with us soon enough. I think it’s better for everyone involved if the baby cat stays here, but of course, Salem is still your baby cat.”
Jesse sighed taking Salem into her arms and petting him, “I guess I’ll just have to make the most of the time I have here with him now. You see how it is with Alliance people? They are so funny, aren’t they?”
“And you will have to make the most of the time with me,” Kol said. “Three more minutes and then Salem needs to go back to his corner.”
Jesse knew he was actually timing it. She gave the kitten a little kiss and then willed it to return to its bed. However, with the dampening field her skills of persuasion didn’t work, so she physically picked up the kitten gently and put it in his bed. Of course, it didn’t stay, but she merely said, “Suit yourself.” Then she walked straight into Kol’s outstretched arms.
He picked her up a little and kissed her deeply. Then he kissed her warm cheeks, her little ears, her wavy hair, and her smooth neck. “You have almost made me insane. I don’t know if this is real or not. Is this real?” he asked between kisses.
“It’s very real. I can cut you if you want to prove it with some pain.”
“No,” Kol chuckled. “I’m not a slave. I don’t like pain very much. Only pleasure and that’s what I want right now. You aren’t leaving these quarters as long as you’re onboard. I’ll tie you to do the bed.”
“I want you to tie me to the bed,” Jesse said a bit breathlessly. “Should we live out that alien abduction fantasy?”
“Aren’t you worried about my payback now that you are at my mercy? That it might be too much for your little human body to endure?” Jesse had been mentally tormenting him for months now. And every time he tried to quench his lust with a slave artist his penis would lose all its muster. She had been unrelenting. He had had to come up with reasons to visit the Capital City just to meet her at Fire periodically.
“I welcome it,” Jesse said confidently. “I want you to take me like the tortured man I’ve made you. I’m waiting for you to punish me, Kol. I deserve it, don’t I?”
That last question sent Kol over the edge of self-control. He activated his bed and strapped her down to it. Without her supernatural talents she could do nothing. She was an ordinary woman. She couldn’t’ even invade his thoughts. He took out a cutting device from his desk, usually meant for mending clothing, and cut her clothes off, knowing the device would not harm her.
Jesse liked being pinned to the bed and having Kol take what he wanted. It was rare that she allowed anyone to rule over her, but she wanted this from him. She had purposely driven him to this to fulfill her fantasies. She was confident it was one of his fantasies too now.
Kol removed her clothing, piece by piece, throwing it on the floor behind him. Some of the romance was lost as Salem attacked and played with every piece of clothing as it hit the floor, but they both tried to ignore that. As Kol cut holes across her shirt he played with her breasts, kneading them, pinching them and being a little bit rough as he slapped them. “You are so naughty, Jesse. Playing with me. Now it’s my turn to play with you. It’ll take us a day and a bit to reach Alliance Planet Four and during that time you will be tied to my bed for my use. That is my retribution. And our return journey will be the same.”
Jesse loved every second of this. “I thought we were going to play alien abductee,” she teased.
“Human woman, you are mine. No one will have you but me. All your thoughts will be sexual and only about me, your handsome alien captor.” Then he began activating more devices on his bed. Kol had the bed produce nipple clamps, but she didn’t have her nipples pierced like a regular Alliance woman, so he had to take a minute to adjust the program. But once he was finished, he activated them and pulled on them gently, “You like that?” He ran his finger along the vine of her flower tattoo that began above her right breast and ended along her ribcage, remembering the first time he had seen it when she’d been passed out in his sickbay.
“Yes,” she said as he tightened the nipple clamps a bit more. “But I don’t think you’re supposed to ask me if I like it, handsome alien captor.” Jesse couldn’t help but smile. He was sweet even when he was trying to exact his revenge.
Once Kol was content, the nipples clamps were at the perfect pressure for now, he began removing her clothing again in pieces, “I hate this maximum class clothing.”
“When I’m free of my sister, I won’t ever wear it again,” Jesse said resolutely.
“If,” Kol said as he stroked her black underwear, making out the folds of her vulva through the fabric that was becoming wet under his touch, “your sister lets you go. There are rumors she has made a deal with the goddess of home and now the god of peace. Mir is the one who contacted me yesterday.” He didn’t stop running his finger over the black lace.
