A Princesses’ Stress Relief
Business dealings normally weren't this frustrating. But, when Ani, princess of the Telleran empire has to deal with brain-dead trade partners for her king, things get a bit too overwhelming. Leading to a stressed-out, ineffective negotiator. However, she knows the exact cure to that, even when her personal AI protests. One thing leads to another, and his initial protests turn to measured curiosity. What's a curiosity indulged between sentient beings, anyway?
"I'm fucking telling you, and you're not listening! We have twenty-eight individually, INDEPENDENTLY verified studies showing that to not be the case!"
"Milady-"
"It won't harm your precious ecosystem, for fuck's sake! And, if it does, we'll damn well fix it!"
She'd never been this frustrated before. At least, not this week. Her AI chimed in.
"Perhaps it would be best we continue negotiations at another time. Let all parties involved process the varied demands a deep-core mine would entail. While m'lady is indeed correct, I also understand your concerns for the ecological welfare of your planet."
The annoying green amoeba of an alien responded.
"This is acceptable. My apologies, princess, but we will continue these dealings at another time. In the meantime, I mi-"
She slammed the disconnect button.
"Fucking Tenesians."
The chair creaked as she flopped down into it. Another solar day, another dry, raw, excruciatingly boring round of negotiations. It didn't help that most of the extraterrestrial life that inhabited this solar system had the intelligence of a brick. A still-wet, mushy brick.
"Princess Anidrale?"
Her personal AI was speaking, trying to get her attention. The only thing that had her attention right now was her pulsing temples. A dull, aching throb threatened to paint the entire ceiling red with built-up frustration.
"Yes?"
"Might I suggest some stress relief? Your heart rate and blood pressure are the highest it's been in the last twenty-three solar days."
Always helpful, and to the point. That was the exact reason she'd tweaked him a bit. After her modifications, the AI was every bit as much a companion, as medical assistant. Well, and general purpose smart AI. Perfectly manicured claws tapped at the desk as the lights came back on. Finally.
"Your suggestion has been noted. When is the next 'dive or holodeck free?" She had something in mind already, and as princess she could force anyone out... but the PR disaster that would follow would be just as bad as dealing with another group of aliens.
"All are free at the moment. No scheduled appointments for the next eight hours. It is midnight on most celestial bodies in this solar system, Ani."
"Very well. I'll wander into one in a while. Got something in mind already."
The AI sighed through the speaker system. A very, very accurate facsimile of a real sigh. Almost disturbingly so. It took a moment for the princess to calm down. Well, a few very long, excruciating moments of just... breathing. Some days, it felt like her tail was going to come off, and with it, her scale coat. It'd be awful, but at least these dealings would have one less layer of skin to get under.
"Ma'am, I never did understand your fascination wi-"
"Don't." She cut him off. "What I do to relax is my business. And, we don't know who might be listening outside."
"External cameras for all adjacent hallways indicate no traffic for the last six hours." He stated, matter-of-factly.
"Even so, for my sake, don't say it, Lee-Sen II."
"Please, call me Lee."
"As soon as you call me Ani consistently."
"Very well, Ani. Shall I bring up a list of the next meetings?"
Before she could protest, a projection of raw text floated on an amber holodisplay. The sight of the data disgusted her. Page after page of dossiers, species info, and demands gave her already pounding headache a run for its' money. Not even closing her eyes helped.
"Please, no. No more dealings tonight. Reschedule the rest of them to another time."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
It was quiet for a while, a rarity with Lee watching over her. While she could just tweak him further, her father would have none of it. The first time was already a massive case of worry for him. A second time would give him a heart attack. Anis' protests of it being safe fell on deaf ears every time she brought it up. Regardless, she'd grown attached to this unit, and rather efficient at that. Being a tech-inclined princess was a bit of an oddity. All of her clutch-sisters had grown up to be the stereotypical princesses. Grow up, get wedded to some xeno in exchange for their planet, or cooperation, and that was that. They had no interest in anything but furthering their fathers' desires.
Ani was different. She, instead, wanted to focus on continuing their empires' dominance in the sector. Sometimes that meant butting heads against her fathers' wishes. Sometimes it meant going along with it. This was, unfortunately, one of those latter cases. Dealings be damned.
"Ugh..." Her scales no doubt had a few dead edges, with flecks of grey on them. This added stress would only add more.
"I would suggest that you 'wander into one' rather soon. Your blood concentrations of cortisol and melatonin would suggest..." He trailed off as she waved him silent.
"I know. You don't need to tell me I'm tired and stressed. That much is obvious to anyone in the room."
"Very well. Closest 'deck or 'dive system?"
"We'll go with the holodeck this time. Make sure it has proper locks. And make sure the techies are all in bed, or busy. If they aren't, find them something to do."
"Yes, milady."
"All personnel accounted for. Really, there's no need to be so cautious. The door locks work." Lee had finished his search, after several more silent moments.
"Doesn't matter. After last time, I'd really rather not." She dismissed it entirely.
"All of this could be avoided if you'd jus-"
"Not as effective. You know that, because I humored you several times."
"Still so improper for a lady of your caliber, Ani."
She swiveled her chair, stretching her legs a bit. Sitting on her ass all day made her grumpy. And, her legs felt barely attached. If anything, they might have gone numb at some points, and she wouldn't have noticed. It was nice to finally be able to get up and move around. At least, while free of dealing with morons.
"Should I bring a mobility droid?"
"Geez, I'm not anywhere near that old yet!" Ani was almost offended.
"Two, then."
The only person in the room shook her head. Lee-Sen could get under her skin every bit as effectively as the people she had to deal with. It worked to redirect her seething frustration. Better she be upset with an AI than valuable business partners. Or foreign diplomats. Or family.
"Ugh."
The doors hissed open, finally letting her out of that accursed room. Even the recycled air aboard the starship felt clean, fresh, and invigorating. It was all in her head, she knew. Lee-Sen had checked ventilation to her room several times at her request. As she walked down the halls, his mechanical eyes never stopped watching. One advantage of having an AI assistant was that she could never, never lose him aboard a maze of a ship. Quite unlike a Telleran assistant.
A soft beep brought her back to reality when she began to stray from the path.
"Yeah, Lee-Sen. I'm taking the scenic route." She huffed.
A few maintenance workers waved, but she disregarded them. It was best they could do their work alone, and unimpeded. Any acknowledgment she could give them would only lead to problems later. While she may have had a cold, rough exterior, it made her heart jolt a little bit. It was good to see they knew who she was. But, as much as she would have liked to return the gesture, it would never happen. At least not until she softened things a bit with her father.
That was the other half of doing this mindless business busywork. If she could convince her father that she was just looking out for the empires' interests, then he would stop interrogating every person she so much as spoke to. Or so she hoped, at the very least. Even then, it was a fleeting hope at best. He was old, and set in his ways. Luckily, his son was looking to be much more forward-thinking than he ever was. Only a matter of time before he expired of natural causes. As grim as it was to think, it was a real possibility that he'd be assassinated. It was way too much for a lady of scarcely twenty-five standard solar cycles to think about constantly.
"Enjoying the view of the rings your people will soon be harvesting?"
The windows hadn't even come to mind, so focused she was on the metal floor, and her own thoughts. The first time she'd seen them, she'd been baffled at how they could hold up to the harsh void of space. And, many times, she had seen how they didn't after blaster fire shattered them like eggshells. But, after the AI brought her attention to the huge double set of rings... Ani had to admit. It was beautiful, seeing the vertical and horizontal rings around the cold, blue planet. For an ice ball, it was pretty.
"Only if I seal the deal." Her muzzle had a grim look on it. As much effort as it took, she at least half-assed a smile.
Only a few more turns, and she was there. It was a large room, put right in the center of the top deck. And for good reason, too. Entertainment decks like these needed a lot of space to operate. And while the full-dive VR suits were nice... holodecks were much preferable when properly configured. On the Andresse, she'd made sure of that much before they even undocked. Two guards that looked like they had a day even worse than she had were flanking the doorway.
"My Princess..." They bowed, lowering their blasters even further.
"I'll be inside a while. The doors will be locked, but don't worry much about it. Send my AI, Lee-Sen II the information of anyone trying to get in. The other 'decks are free, after all." Orders flew from her tongue with practiced ease.
"Yes, Princess Ani. Any other requests?"
"No. Thank you."
"You are welcome."
If they were any more robotic, she'd have lost her mind. The door hissed shut just as fast as it had opened. Looking behind her, it blended into a tropical beach perfectly. It looked as if she'd stepped out of a beachside shack. Blech. Too basic for her tastes by far.
"Lee-Sen, load up relief sim three. Max sound dampening, lock the doors too."
The sand between her paws faded away, being replaced by hard rock. Watching the landscape shift, it brought a smile to her scaled muzzle. Her homeworld was not a very hospitable place, but it brought comfort to her. It reminded her of one of the few things she and her father shared. Both of them had a fondness for the craggy, rough mountaintops, poking through low, dense clouds. Felt like walking on clouds...
"Aah..." A few hefty gusts relaxed her, feeling the wind blow across her face.
"Cortisol levels diminished. Perhaps this was all that was needed?"
Ani ignored him. For now, she just wanted to savor the moment. Other things could come later. It felt a little cold, but it wasn't that bad. No worse than the stuffy heat in her office, or the cold metal panels between rooms... Strangely, the turret gunner seats were an agreeable temperature. A strange thought, to be sure.
For once, Lee-Sen let her have her relaxation. Maybe, just this once, she wouldn-
"Lee-Sen?"
"Yes, Ani?"
"Shift to sim eighty-nine."
If Lee-Sen could have a bit of irritation, he would have. But, for now, he did his job. Besides, he was much better at it than the integrated one. Almost a full fifty-percent faster...
The craggy cliffs and foggy mountaintops shifted to a more terrestrial view. Large, alien trees sprung up around her. Vines soon followed, then the sound of ambient wildlife. Just barely audible, the hum of the hardlight projectors working double time reached her eardrums. Perhaps she could tune those later. A project for another time. The last illusion to seal the deal finally wafted into her nostrils, and felt wet on her scales. It was hot, humid, and just the way the environment was supposed to be. Or, at least a close enough facsimile.
"Bring up the critter menu."
Her father had a fit the first time she'd made the environments, and a larger one when he learned of... this. But, even he couldn't argue with results. And so, he let her have them. It. Whatever he preferred to call it this week. Ani had to admit, it was a little... deviant. But nothing too far outlandish. Well. Some could be.
Various creatures faded into life around the jungle, ones not quite programmed into the simulation. All but a few blended in perfectly, scales, vines, tendrils, and other appendages shifting to a more natural color pattern. Big cats, amorous flora, suitors not unlike her sisters'... large alien beasts. All waiting patiently for her to decide, or not.
"Hmm... what one this time..."
"My lady, no need for just one. You told me you did like multiple, before."
If she could blush, she would have. Instead she rolled her eyes, and let the comment roll off of her back. Much like an interactive game, when she waved over a creature, it came as commanded. Perfectly tame, or perfectly savage. Any configuration she wanted, all at her fingertips. The first was a rather large, yet odd beast, with no visible eyes.
"As filling as you were last time, I'd rather a companion that has eyes." Several of the creatures faded into obscurity, wandering off deeper into the jungle.
She wandered around a while. None of them fit her needs right now, as strange as it was to say. Sure, the native flora on Exarr IX could fill every needy, aching hole she had, but it was missing that personal aspect. Another small bit of fauna could satisfy her other ways, but it was a bit too primal, and fur too... irritating. It was hard to decide.
"Might I make a suggestion?" Lee-Sen piped up, noticing her plight.
"Go on."
"Last time you took a look time to choose, you settled on a fantasy creature."
Yes! Why limit herself to that which was real, when there were plenty of other options? Stolen from the mythologies and minds of billions, there were many more options. But, even then, she knew it wasn't real. That was the problem.
"Hmm... How about something that is close to fantasy, but also real? At least one documented discovery." A downed trees' carcass made for an adequate seat.
"Sorting..." Lee-Sen sounded more mechanical than usual.
Forms quickly cycled in front of her, taking so long that she thought he was stuck in a loop. The hardlight projectors whined at the sheer speed they were being operated at. The noise became little more than background noise as she nodded off for a moment or two.
Several moments later, he was finished.
"Sorting finished, suggestion waiting."
"Huh?" Her quick little nap had left her dazed, and a little confused. It couldn't have been more than minutes, though.
A shadow blocked the sunlight. She rolled to her side, feeling the soft dirt underpaw, digging into her side. It wasn't until she opened her eyes and saw a massive scaled paw did her brain finally click again. A smile worked its' way across her muzzle.
"This will do nicely."
A painted dragon was waiting. Sitting there like a large dog, wings folded on its' back. Close to fantasy dragons, and yet just real enough for her tastes. It was perfect. Swirling patterns blended into the sunlight, changing its' scales color. Optical camouflage for an apex predator. An apex predator that would be her suitor for the evening. Possibly longer if she took a shine to him.
"Mi'lady?"
"This one will do, Lee-Sen. Bring up the config menu and my codebase."
It stretched out, turning away from her. Code in various languages was projected onto its' flank, the shifting patterns there blending rather intriguingly. Virtual keyboards weren't anywhere near as good as physical ones, but she made do. A few code comments, a few behavior changes, a slider tweak here and there...
"I really should write an autoconfig program. Or do these beforehand."
"Configuring them by hand would take decades." Her AI clarified.
"Wouldn't take nearly that long if I just do the ones I... enjoy." A smile crossed her muzzle as she saved the code.
Another click, and it was applied. It took a moment for it to 'click', but when it did, new bits faded into existence. The painted dragon was now definitely male. And definitely in need of a good source of release. Lucky him, Ani was also looking for a bit of release. Stress release, that was.
"All that code for just that?"
"There's a bit more, but I'm sure you could figure that out by watching." Ani dismissed him.
It felt quite warm leaning on the dragons' side, listening to the heartbeat. Wings splayed out above her, shielding her from the virtual light. It was working perfectly. A large eye examined her, and the dragon took several moments to nuzzle at her. While she wasn't quite in heat this season... it wouldn't know the difference. She basked in the warm licks and nuzzles.
Her clothes were feeling quite constricting as time wore on. The humid heat of the jungle, and the added warmth from her new scaled companion was more than making her blood boil. And other parts were... feeling far too sensitive. A large paw pushed her over as she was trying to remove her clothes.
"Oof!"
Of course, the pain was dulled a bit. Wouldn't do to get hurt while simulating a fantasy. Even with the distraction of being pushed over, the clothes came off easily. She kicked off the last of them, with the stack disappearing into the bushes. Any other time, she'd need to go find them, but she knew Lee-Sen would have them in a neat pile when the simulation was over. A scaled muzzle pushed its' way underneath her tail. For a virtual pet, it knew how to hit all the right spots.
Of course it would, though. She'd made it that way.
A long, thick tongue slathered liquid heat across her rear. A bit of mess was only a turn-on. She gasped when it found its' mark. Even with the knowledge that none of this was real, the feelings coursing through her body told her otherwise. It felt real enough to her. He wasted little time with preparation, instead opting to drive his oral muscle as deep as he could... as fast as he could. The feeling of him so thoroughly eating her out drove her mad. Her hands dug at the soft moss creeping along the jungle floor. Her legs trembled, and her tail threatened to smack him on the nose.
All the same, he fucked her roughly with his tongue. The rough play was merely foreplay, but was more than scratching a needy itch inside her. Cute little moans and gasps echoed out of her muzzle every time he drew the tongue out. And she panted every time he dove back in. His muzzle was already a mess with the prodigious amount she oozed out. A spark shone in his eyes, and he plunged his tongue in one last time. It felt like she blacked out for a moment, and time stood still. Her loins ached, and legs failed to keep her off the ground. Her vision was a mess of colors, and it took seemingly an eternity for Ani to remember to breathe. In.... Out, and again. The painted dragon waited patiently for her to come back to life. Lee-Sen remained quiet, a miracle in and of itself.
"Heart rate elevated, cortisol diminished, several endorphins naturally administered." Or not.
"Yeah, yeah..." Ani panted.
The dragons' colors shifted to a bright red. That was one of the cues she'd added, a color they'd only rarely display in the wild. But, here, it meant something entirely different. When she managed to pull herself up, and onto that same fallen log, it was clear. His entire length was unsheathed, and more than ready to go. The angry red, ridged spire looked as red as the rest of the dragon. And, if he could look impatient, then the look on his muzzle could easily be interpreted as such. Her legs felt far too weak to prop herself up. Luckily, the log as good a place as any.
"C'mon, big stud. Didn't reprogram you for nothing!" She waved him closer.
His hot, humid breath washed across her form as he looked downwards. Two large emerald eyes stared at her, before moving upwards. He looked almost curious, if only for a moment. But, the show continued on. He shuffled himself forward, until his maleness was resting between her thighs. Even through her scales, it felt hot, far too warm. The ridges were soft, luckily. One of her hands ran across its' length, stroking him gently. This light, slow stimulation was more than enough for him to leak a hefty dollop of pre onto her. The warmth oozed into her belly scales, seeping underneath them, warming the hide underneath.
With his length grasped with one forepaw, he breathed heavily. Being handled by such a small, delicate thing must have been confusing everything his virtual brain was telling him. Luckily, a more... skilled intelligence was about to volunteer. It froze. The painted dragon stopped breathing, stopped swaying his tail, and no amount of tugging brought him closer. Ani was fuming mad.
"Before you end up too frustrated, I was about to ask a question, Ani."
"This better be really damn good. Is someone knocking or something?" Her muzzle scowled, hidden by the large bulk of the now-inactive dragon.
"No. I was wondering if you might let me satisfy a curiosity of mine?"
"After this, maybe."
"Well, it had to do with...-" There was a pause for a moment. "This."
Ani sighed. "Go on. You're clearly not going to unfreeze it until I answer."
"I was wondering if you would allow me to hook into the data stream an-"
"You want to be the dragon." Ani cut him off.
"Yes." Lee-Sen stated plainly.
"A strange request... but since you have said several times that you don't understand why I do this. Sure. Go right ahead."
If an AI could be elated, happy, or even giddy with joy, Lee-Sen would be. He let his internal emotion processor whirl as he attached as many sensory inputs as he could. His processing power was more than enough for complete simulation of the dragon, luckily. The first thing he noticed was that his borrowed lungs were absolutely burning. He panted, his muzzle open, and tongue hanging out.
"Just now noticed you only froze movement? Good job." She deadpanned.
"Is it supposed to be this hot? And between my thighs..." It was overwhelming for the AI.
"Yeah. It's a penis, and your dragon was about to sink into me. Probably has a nasty case of blue balls now."
Lee-Sen didn't need to see her to tell she was smirking. He let the processes and subroutines from the previous occupant spool back up, watching them intently. Well, as much as he could while experiencing them.
"Re-initiating processes, let me know if I'm hurting you."
"Unlikely. Shut up and fuck me."
The rest of the dragon solidified, the scales shifting colors again. A rainbow of color splayed across its' hide, seemingly representing the flood of data the controlling AI was sorting through. One thing stayed the same though, when she dragged her hand across those spines...
"Ah! Ani, please! Those are sensitive!" It was amusing to hear Lee-Sen in distress.
"They're supposed to be."
Her hand was wet with pre by the time Lee-Sen got settled in. And, since he wasn't doing anything of note to move this along, she guided his rod towards her entrance. With the generous amount of saliva from before, and the rough, enjoyable tongue-fucking, it was an easy thing to fit it inside. The reaction from Lee-Sens' dragon was immediate though. Spectacular splashes of color danced along the scales. It was almost painful to look at.
He grit his teeth. How could organic males deal with THIS? The overstimulation and sheer, dazzling array of pleasure took his breath away. Ani seemed to want this... alien breeding rod inside her, still, though. With all the stimulation though, it seemed like an awful idea! She took matters into her own hands, and Lee-Sen was merely along for the ride. Even if he was on top.
Just feeling the thick, pointy tip push its' way into her felt amazing. But, with the stone statue that the AI had become, things were going to get boring quick if he didn't figure out what to do.
"Don't try to sort through it all right now. Not even you can process that much. Push." She ordered him.
"Y-yes Ani." It was strange to talk, and say her name through this muzzle, but he made it work.
As she commanded, he pushed forward. Each gasp and outright wanton moan from Ani made him pause for a moment. But, every time he did, her hand pulling at his back legs told him all he needed to know. Data was piling up, but he redirected it to storage. He could look at it later, and relive the experience if need be, but having him completely lock up was unnecessary. All the same, the hard, heavy bursts of pleasure was flowing through him. No amount of data redirection could distract him from that. The unfamiliar, strange feeling of having his tool pulse made him shudder visibly. With Ani stretching herself around him, it only increased the amount of pleasure.
"And now back out. And you just keep doing that." She guided him.
The simple instruction was easily followed. He buried his length inside her, feeling her quiver around him, and then slowly pulled out. Wet, messy noises reached his ears. It sounded painful, but the blissful noises coming from her told him otherwise. He felt tight inside.
"Feeling tight inside" He pushed back in. "Should I stop? It feels like... pressure."
"Just means you're getting closer." She barely had the breath to reply.
The AI didn't know what he was close to, but he decided that she was going to have at least one more orgasm before he got too close. As such, he made use of the size difference between him and his princess, and roughly drove each and every thrust home. The increase in pressure from her gripping him with every limb was dramatic. She must have been 'close' to another orgasm. His spines flared, dragging along her insides. A knot finished inflating, and with every stroke, he was shoving it into, and out of her.
"Ah-a-aaaaaH!" Her appreciation was loud, and it peaked as he popped his knot inside her for the last time.
Every one of his sensors blanked out, the raw data flow capping them out. Of what came through though, was pure bliss, and a relaxation of his lower half. It felt like... pulses were coming out of him? He craned his muzzle downwards, watching Ani hold her belly with one hand, and stroke behind his knot with another. One pulse, after another, and another, and more after that made him worry. Was that supposed to get stuck there? His judgment decided in a flash, and his front paws braced against her. This might have hurt.
"Lee-Se-HRK" She was in the middle of speaking when he yanked it out.
Luckily, it did no harm, but she was seeing stars again. Several spurts landed on her body, but she didn't care. The overwhelming sensation from having a knot yanked out of her was too much. It took a while for her to relearn the ability to form words. When she did, though...
"You're not supposed to yank that out immediately." Ani sputtered, weak from the overwhelming bliss, and relaxation.
"Oh? My apologies. Shall I put it back in?" Ani couldn't tell if he was serious, or merely being playful.
"Not right after you just yanked it out! But, relax a while with me."
The bulk of the dragon landing on the log rumbled through the ground. His lower half leaned on the princess, warming her up every bit as much as the seed inside her did. The sound of birds and other wildlife faded back into her attention. It was peaceful.
"This is a lot of data to go through." Lee-Sen stated.
"Normal males usually describe it as being intensely relieving, satisfying, and overall an enjoyable experience." Ani rattled off facts.
"Would you be averse to me collecting more data?" A wet, hard thing rubbed against her leg.
"Not at all. But at least give me a few first."
"Yes, milady."
Lee-Sen collected more data than even an AI knew what to do with that night. And Ani... Well. Ani found herself a new companion and stress reliever all in one. She also walked oddly for the next few days. Not that she complained. That itch that drove her to use the holodeck was more than scratched. And any time it came back, Lee-Sen was more than eager to collect more data.
And why not? It was fun, after all.
-Fin!
