The Swords that Bind- Part 8 Pleasing the Host
#9 of Swords That Bind
Finally, our foxy gets involved in some of the perks of the job.
Lunch was a brief affair, mainly because Silver was doing some checks on the planar engines, and the two kitties were working on stuff in their pet projects. Caboose came in briefly to grab some food, give a shy little nod to us, and then leave, which was probably 90% of his social interaction for the rest of the afternoon, and after that I went down to my quarters for a brief nap before we emerged from planar jump.
This location that we arrived at was a small system, mostly full of large asteroid belts. A good twenty minutes cruising from the star was a space station, a quite impressive structure about 10 miles in length. Along one side was the ore refinery, where the asteroids in the system were harvested by small one man craft for resources. In the middle was a huge cluster of hexagonal rooms that tesselated beautifully. This whole base had been assembled like a flat pack piece of IKEA kit.
At the opposite end, the end we were heading to, was the docks. It was not a well frequented place, so it had only three docking areas, protected by huge retracting roofs. As we approached, one of the docks opened up, revealing a solid grey landing pad lit by huge spotlights. There was no time for fancy moves like at the temple, and we began to line up with the bay.
An alarm wailed on the display, and we were alerted by the "Collision imminent" warning coming up. An asteroid, wandering rogue through the system, was on a perilous close course towards us. "DAIN, get confirmation for firing at that asteroid, pronto! Caboose, asteroid at my 11 o'clock, target but do not fire til DAIN says so." I spoke rapidly over the comms. DAIN immediately began transmitting a request to the space station.
Caboose wheels the four sets of dual lasers around. "Target locked, awaiting firing order." DAIN interrupted, just as one of the mining craft appeared from behind the walls of the refinery dock on full boost towards the asteroid on intercept. "They say they've got it. Hold fire, Caboose. Facilier, continue lining up with the dock." "Confirm, master caution acknowledged." I pressed the reset on the alarm, silencing it. As I approached the dock with the rock bearing down on us, the ore miner crashed into it, it's drills embedding themselves into the asteroid. I winced at the collision, but the small craft seemed to suffer no effect from the impact, and it's rockets fired, diverting the asteroid away from our sleek vessel.
"Those must have some amazing dampeners if they can body slam asteroids like that." DAIN commented, focusing on the ore miner returning to the refinery with it's new prize. "It's for precisely this sort of reason." Samis explained," They aren't designed for luxury or for hyperspatial travel, they are built like tugs. I've heard of one that made planet-fall without a parachute or anything to break it's fall, and all they needed to do was change the lights and give the pilot a cast for a broken arm. For a crash from re-entry."
As he was saying that, I finished landing the Dolphin in the bay. Silently, the roof began to extend overhead, and as we powered down the engines, I could see two red lights in the bay turn to green as the dock was pressurised with air. "Ok, Facilier, Celiana, grab a pair of mag boots. We may have life support, but the gravity fields on these space stations are not amazing." "We have a diplomatic task here, Captain?" I asked, as I got out of my seat. "The station master is a good friend of mine, and we're going to need to let him know how my plans are progressing."
"That good a friend huh?" "Well, I have to make friends if I'm going to be hauling a super-cruiser through the galaxy." Samis smiled knowingly. "All ships need fuel." I got into dress uniform, but I didn't need to grab a pair of mag boots, Silver delivered a pair to me as I was finishing up. Dolphin had a better gravity field generator, or at least one that was used more, and I did up the boots before assembling with Acheron, Celiana and Samis.
The friend in question was waiting at the bottom of the ramp as it descended, and Samis didn't even bother to disillusion himself, the dragon coming down the ramp with a sly grin and a flicker of his wings. "Artemis." he said seductively. I privately gaped, rubbing my muzzle. Artemis was not something I'd seen before, at least not outside of a book. For he was a centaur, half horse, half something close to an Azuri. Flesh coloured top half with hair, black eyes, and a dark silver furred bottom half, a black tail, and four magnetic hoofs. He was taller than me, but shorter than Samis.
He smiled and winked back at Samis as the dragon stepped onto the floor of the dock. "Samis." he said, in a rather pleasing tenor voice, rich and expansive. "What mischief have you been up to? And to whom?" he looked at me and Celiana. "You have some new friends since we last met." "Now now, work before pleasure." Samis chuckled. "Artemis, meet Celiana, my new assistant and computer tech, and Ramon Facilier, my new pilot and military strategist. Friends, this is Artemis, station master and sexy beast."
I saluted on principle, and Celiana gave a half-bow. Artemis grinned. "Samis, ever the consumate liar. I'm not sexy, it's one of my few endearing traits." he teased back. "Regardless, shall we take this to your office? Acheron and Silver shall do the refuelling with your men." I noticed two of the station crew standing near the door, including a Dromantis. I thought that peculiar, but then the priest had not been near as xenophobic as the main populace, so there were a few who seemed to fit in with other species.
Artemis led us out of the dock, through some very plain looking corridors. IKEA corridor beyond IKEA corridor, with the same drab colouration. No one else seemed to be about, something Samis also picked up on. "Rather quiet today, Artemis?" For a moment Artemis looked irritated. "This announcement of war has made havoc with the roster, unfortunately."
"Roster?" I asked politely. "Hey, the tuft of fur speaks." Artemis grinned at me and winked. I flushed a little, but he continued," Yes, Vulpini, for we have two types of staff. The crazy people like myself who like it here, and the rostered, who come for six months at a time, and then are replaced. Means they can get the natural air of their home planet more often. But with Chaio announcing war preparations, my latest batch of recruits did not arrive yesterday, so something's fouled up."
"Sorry to hear that, sir." "Artemis, please. I prefer the informal approach. And my day is getting better, now that Samis has turned up." "Your life must be seriously depressing if I'm enough to make it better." Samis said slyly. We entered his office, which was yet another hexagonal pre-fab room, but it at least had a nice bed, a smaller room off to one side for cleaning, and a wooden desk complete with paperwork and a laptop. Artemis flopped on the bed, while instructing us to do the same.
Celiana declined, and sat down on the floor. I sat on the bed tentatively, a little shy but intrigued. Samis flopped over the top of Artemis. "This new bed of yours is more lumpy than the old one." the dragon said idly. Artemis smirked. "Don't make me tie you to it to prove you wrong. So, what news of your quest?"
Business started. Samis brought him up to speed. He did not mention about recruiting either me or Celiana, but he told the centaur about the good luck we had had on Terygota, what we had found in the temple. Artemis was naturally intrigued. "So you've found the Hinohana, have you?" "Well, Kraven's diary was pretty clear on the subject.Terygota's temple leads to the Sword with enhanced weaponry, and it is named "Fireflower", or Hinohana in the old language." "That is exceedingly good news."
"We still have to get to Ikuria and find the hidden base, but it has at least reduced the number of planets to search down to one." Samis nodded. "And a shield core for your Dolphin, yes? I'd love to help you there, but unfortunately we don't really have much in the way of shield tech." "It's on my to-do list. I'm going to try negotiating with the Sectivores when I look for the second temple." "You should do that first. Find the location of the second base, get your shield unit and THEN go to Ikuria. You'd probably find shielding useful amongst all that volcanic activity."
"Well, if a volcano blew up underneath us, certainly." Samis admitted. "The small problem is that the location I have for storing the Swords for refit is on the other side of the galaxy, and taking the Sword there would mean getting a little closer to Ia Gelliath and the more central planets than I would like." "Well, it beats going the long way around. But you must absolutely stop by here. I know it's on the route, and I would love to see one of Kraven's master pieces."
Samis smiled. "I'll park it along side. If the diary is anything to go by it dwarfs the dock, and that's a good eleven hundred metres end to end. "Of course, three 300x300 docks with one hundred metres of walls and gap between them. Proper sized ships, not galactic super carriers. But how big did the diary suggest?" "The scale is a little hard to judge, but maybe 1.5km, maybe 2." Artemis whistled in appreciation.
"Fortunately, the diamonds ARE something I can help with, or at least some of them. We could take a bag off of you in return for credits, something a little more resembling currency, as it were, and we're always looking for diamonds for our refinery machinery." "That would be most appreciated." Samis nodded. "Celiana takes care of a lot of the financial stuff." "Very well. Celiana, would you be so kind as to grab one of the bags of gems, and take them down to the bank?" Artemis asked.
"Bank, sir?"Celiana looked a little surprised. "Well, it's more a room, than a bank, but we have to pay our worker's wages, and buy equipment, so we do have a bank connected to most of Chaio's intergalactic market. Yours, the Dromanteans, the Vulpini, pretty much whatever secret accounts Samis has we can put funds into." "Pretend that I'm whistling innocently, and that no such secret accounts exist." Samis teased the centaur.
Celiana took her leave, and Artemis smiled. "That's a very pretty girl you have there, Samis. But very fragile." "She would surprise you, as she has me. But she does not like the idea of war. She sees my quest as an end to Chaio's reign, which has benefits for her." "And what about you, foxy? What are you in this madcap adventure for?" I bowed." I'm tired of all this uncivil war myself, and if I can protect my fellow Vulpini, all the better. Samis has a better plan then anything I've got on my own."
"Well said." Artemis nodded."Now would you be so kind to return to the ship? Samis and I have some private stuff to discuss?" "Is that the private stuff that involves having rigorous amounts of sex?" I said slyly, and Samis winked behind Artemis' back and goaded me on. Artemis' eyes rose a little, but he rallied. "Hardly rigorous, this is a low gravity zone after all. But I do have some urges that need to be seen to."
"Don't we all." Samis teased and licked against Artemis' neck, cuddling the taur from behind. "Hey, hey, hey." the station master tried to fend off the draconic licking," Two on one is not fair, where's the two guests pleasuring the host?" he giggled as the rough tongue tickled his skin. "Well, that's easy enough. I pleasure you from behind, the lieutenant can do so from in front. Facilier, how do you want to join in?"
A warm sensation flooded through my loins at the thought of this, but Artemis' comment made me think for a second. "Well, Artemis is helping us so I'd like to suckle and stroke him off. Then it would be nice to have you two pleasure me." I said, with a tiny bit of cheekiness at suggesting the latter. Artemis smiled. "You should bring this guest more often, Samis. I like the cut of his jib." "Hmmm, very well, Facilier." Samis said a touch theatrically," Artemis is your master for now.Please him well, and we shall reward you by both orally pleasuring you to orgasm."
I bowed, equally theatrically, and we began to relieve ourselves of our clothing. For Samis this was just the matter of his long cloak and trousers, but for me it was uniform, and I did my best to juggle speed and care, getting off the bed and placing the uniform in one corner neatly. Artemis didn't have anything in the way of clothes, so he just waited patiently.
Thus nuded, we retook our positions on the bed, and as Samis positioned himself behind the taur, I lay down in front of the equine belly. Artemis reached over the side of the bed and picked up a bottle of lube to hand to the dragon, as I reached forwards and started stroking the stomach of the centaur, kneading it gently with my paws. His size meant he had a bigger metabolism and thus a little bit more heat, and he was quite warm to the touch.
I shuffled closer, moving in until my body was against the equine's, and Artemis lifted up his top pair of legs over me. This both kept me from moving away and exposed his genitalia to me, and when I saw what he was packing, I felt a little nervous. His balls were quite large, about half the size of my fist each, and they hung heavily. As I fondled them, I focused my attention on the shaft extending in front of my mouth. Stallion that he was, it was about three inches flared, and some thirteen inches long. I felt envious of this sexy equine, but also a little worried.
"Um, master," I said, keeping my role going," I can't suck on your might, it is too big for me, so I shall pleasure around it as best as I can." "I get that a lot." Artemis chuckled, his top half leaning back into the dragon. "Just do as best as you can, good little pet." I blushed a little deeper at being called a pet, but got to work on this massive member, starting by suckling and licking around the head, concentrating my licks on the edges of the flare, while my paws reached above my head and stroked at the firm shaft in tandem, squeezing his cock and jerking it off slowly. He sighed a little in pleasure, and I could feel his body relax.
"Samis, fuck me quickly...he's done this before." he managed to moan. Samis laughed as he lubricated his hardening cock, but I was not privy to seeing the dragon's genitals. I could certainly tell when he penetrated though, because Artemis gave a little cry of delight, grabbing onto the bed sheets with his human hands and clenching his equine legs around me. His cock tensed and straightened out as all his muscles went rigid.
"Oh GO.... you dragons with your narrow heads and broad bases, you stretch me so eas.....ahhh, gentle, gentle.Maybe not that easily." he panted, his body heaving and pushing against mine. I felt I was missing out on one hell of a show, whatever Samis was doing was having a huge effect. "Awww, do I need to visit more often? You seem to have tightened up a little since we did this last?" "Who else your size do I have to play with?" Artemis moaned and spasmed a little.
"Tell you what, once this war's over, I'll make it so my sexy centaur gets my undivided attention once a week." "Will I have to call you Emperor or Ma-aah!-aster?" Artemis moaned mid sentence as Samis began to fuck him slowly, each thrust causing the equine cock to ram forwards into my chin and along the underside of my muzzle. "I haven't decided yet." Samis replied, reaching around and stroking my back.
The centaur moaned in bliss through out, the dragon slowly giving him it from behind in long, deep thrusts, and me licking, suckling and caressing his shaft and balls. I had very little to look at, just the top side of the equine shaft, but my body could feel the whole thing going on, the warm embrace of the dragon cuddling both of us as he fucked the centaur, and the centaur's constantly tensing and flexing muscles, body spasming and becoming more full of lust.
The dragon tapped me with a claw gently. "Foxy pet, shift so your muzzle is underneath his cock. I want you to catch as much of his load in your mouth, but don't swallow." This was slightly difficult to do, as it meant turning ninety degrees onto my back while wrapped in the centaur's embrace, but I wriggled and shifted, squeezing my way until I was lying on my back, practically pinned on my back to the bed by the equine's legs, and reaching up behind myself to stroke the equine shaft.
Artemis panted," Get ready for it, foxy. I cum a LOT." I inwardly gulped, but lowered the cock into my mouth, holding it down with the underside of my mouth, my tongue working the urethral entrance. Aremis stiffened and howled, his cock tensing up in my mouth, before he fired his rich,creamy load directly into my jaws. The slightly salty and musky taste flooded my senses, rather overwhelming my sensitive nose. I held his cock as it throbbed and fired several more jets into my maw, and then Samis appeared in my field of view over the top of the centaur, grinning mischieviously.
"Let's see how you did, foxy." he commanded, and I twisted my head slightly so he could see that I had indeed done as ordered. He gently bopped my nose with a claw. "Very good. Now spit it out. You haven't tested with him yet, have you?" I shook my head, and turned my head to the side to spit out the cum onto the sheets. Artemis lifted his legs so I could get up and rinse my mouth with water. In theory I was compatible to play with Samis, and Samis was obviously so with Artemis, so by logic I could have swallowed, but it was better to play safe than get a bad roll of the dice.
By this point, Samis had returned his attention to the centaur, the larger anthro dragon having wrapped one arm around the centaur's equine body where I had been, and another around the humanoid torso, holding him firmly while subjecting him to a series of slow and deep thrusts. And at this point I finally found what Samis was wielding. A very narrow head rapidly broadening to a base of three inches, in the space of an eleven inch cock, with noticeably ridged sides. I flushed in arousal just looking at it as it repeatedly disappeared and reappeared out of the moaning centaur, slick with lubricant.
Unfortunately this incredibly beautiful scene was not to last much longer.
