Three Square Meals Ch. 057

Rachel frowned, and replied, "Physically she's in perfect health. I've spent the last few hours going through the Maliri medical data that Edraele sent, but I've found no mention of diseases unique to the Maliri that might be affecting her eyes. As a species, they're remarkably healthy anyway, so there isn't much information on congenital defects."

Alyssa sat down on the bed, and gently stroked Irillith's snowy-white hair as she asked, "Could this be caused by her psychic powers evolving? When I first began to develop telepathy, I started picking up random fragments of John's inner voice. Maybe this is the same, but just affecting her eyes instead?"

Their lovely medic nodded, and replied, "That's the conclusion I've come to as well. Irillith's mother is psychic, and she shares the same triple helix DNA as Edraele. I strongly suspect that whatever's happening is linked to a psychic ability starting to manifest itself."

"Any idea what ability that might be?" John asked Rachel.

The tawny haired girl smiled at him, and replied, "You're probably best placed to answer that one. This is almost certainly your handiwork after all."

John shrugged helplessly, having no idea what could be afflicting the Maliri girl. "Sorry, can't help you there," he said, feeling guilty as he realised Rachel was almost certainly correct, and it was his fault Irillith was suffering.

"Relax, she's just experiencing flickering lights," Alyssa said soothingly, as she heard his worried thoughts. "She's been a bit uncomfortable, but I'm sure this will pass soon enough. The voices I heard when I started developing telepathy were a bit disconcerting, but I would have suffered through far worse in exchange for the psychic gifts you've given me."

"Me too," Jade said without hesitation. She paused, and admitted, "Not that I had to endure anything when you enhanced my shapeshifting. I would have willingly subjected myself to months of agony for these powers though."

Rachel looked up at her in surprise, and asked, "Really, why's that?"

John gathered Jade into his arms, and said confidently, "I know why." He looked into her glinting emerald eyes and continued, "It's because my lovely little Nymph was able to use her abilities to save me and the girls from the Drakkar. I'm right, aren't I beautiful?"

She smiled at him shyly, and nodded, while gazing up into his eyes. John leaned down to give her a tender kiss, and she began a throaty purr as she responded.

Alyssa smiled at the pair of them, and said, "I think it's Jade's turn to feed Irillith next anyway. Why don't you two go and have some fun, then we can pack more cum into her blue tummy. She's absorbed the last load already, and the faster we can get her over this the better."

John smiled playfully at the Nymph, and scooped her up in his arms, causing her to gasp in excitement. He walked out the door, and glancing over his shoulder, he said, "We'll be back in a while. Let me know if there's any change."

He heard the blonde and brunette laughing together as he strode down the corridor, but his attention was focused on Jade. She gave him a brilliant smile, as he gave her his undivided attention, and when they reached her quarters, she hit the button eagerly. He stepped through the door, smiling at the thought of carrying her over the threshold.

She spotted his thoughtful smile, and looked at him quizzically as she said, "I do envy Alyssa sometimes, having telepathy must be wonderful. What's making you happy?"

John carefully set her down on her feet, and hesitated, unsure how to broach the subject. Seeing his indecision, Jade stepped out of her shoes, and peeled her dress off her shoulders, letting it fall to her feet. "Let's go and get a shower before you work up a sweat with me," she said impishly, and sashayed away into the ensuite bathroom.

He watched her depart, entranced by her astounding figure, then hurriedly pulled off his clothes when he heard her start up the shower. When he strode in after her, she gave him a welcoming smile, and beckoned him into the cubicle. The Nymph looked stunning under the flowing water, the lights from the bathroom making her slick skin glisten with a shiny lustre. Jade's skin was a dark green, but there were tiny flecks that caught the light, as well as the lighter coloured viridian lines that accentuated all her sensational curves.

She turned around, glancing at him coyly over her shoulder, and he took the opportunity to admire her toned, athletic form. Walking over to join her, he ran his hands over her cool skin, feeling the pliant but strong muscles under his fingertips. His cock had risen to the occasion, thickening as he admired her beautiful exotic body, and he rested it between the taut groove of her cheeks as he encircled her in his arms.

"Mmm, that feels amazing," she murmured, leaning back into him, and flexing her muscular buttocks around his shaft.

John didn't reply, instead he gathered some soap in his hands, and started to massage her breasts, letting his hands glide over her lovely soft skin under the pretence of getting her clean. She purred in delight at his touch, loving the feel of his hands over her skin, and when she turned around to look at him, he could see her eyes were hooded with lust. His cock throbbed at that look, immediately recognising that fiery intensity in her eyes.

They soaped each other down, with Jade's skin warming up as she grew more turned on. Certain parts of his anatomy were feeling pretty overheated too, aided by the Nymph's gentle but confident grasp with one of her slender hands. She led him out of the shower, guiding him by his pulsating length, and they dried off quickly before heading into her bedroom.

Jade walked over to the bed, and gracefully climbed onto it, giving him a come-hither look. "How do you want me?" she asked him breathily.

"Hot and wet," John replied, as he stalked after her.

Her eyes flashed with arousal, and she lay back on the bed, parting her legs, and bringing them right back to give him full access to her glistening pussy. John climbed up on to the bed too, and nuzzled his cock against her, feeling how wet and ready she was for him. Pushing forward, he groaned as her scalding depths seemed to wrap around him, pulling him in deeper. Knowing full well she was designed to take his cock, he drove forward powerfully, spearing her with his entire length in one long fluid motion.

"Oh God, Master!" she cried out ecstatically as he plunged into her, arching her back as she took all of him in one pussy-stuffing thrust.

John smiled at her, and said, "My beautiful little Nymph. It feels so good being inside you again."

He ran his fingers through Jade's verdant hair, then cradled her head protectively in his hands, as he just relished being with her again. She'd given him mind-shattering blowjobs with the Maliri, but this was different, and he relished the feeling of intimacy. Jade had closed her eyes when he penetrated her, but her eyelids opened languidly when she realised he had paused, and was just studying her face.

"Aren't you going to use your eager Nymph?" she asked him in a seductive whisper.

John nodded confidently, and replied, "Oh yes, definitely. But we should talk first, and it's much more fun to chat like this, don't you think?"

Jade laughed, and nodded as she brought her arms and legs up to wrap him in a tender embrace. "What did you want to talk to me about?" she asked him curiously, while gently massaging his cock with her magnificent body.

John had a few things on his mind, but he decided to go with the less complicated one first. "I heard what you said earlier. Do you really feel like you aren't contributing?" he asked her with a frown.

She saw his troubled expression, and wanting to allay his concern, she grinned at him as she replied, "Maybe I was just fucking with you?"

He smiled, then shook his head, and replied, "Perhaps, but I don't think so." He flexed his cock inside her playfully, and added, "This is your Master you're talking with now. Come on, tell me the truth."

Jade let out a forlorn sigh, and said, "Rachel and Dana are so smart. I hate not being able to contribute like they can, and I wish I could do more."

John leaned down to give her a loving kiss, and said soothingly, "You do so much already! You're a phenomenal pilot, you've nursed the girls back to health on more occasions than I can count, let alone saving us against the Drakkar. You've got your new job as Dana's Engineering Assistant too, so that'll keep you busy while we're flying around the galaxy."

The Nymph brightened a bit, and said earnestly, "I just want you to be happy with me."

He laughed, and said, "Honey, I couldn't be any happier with you! You're a wonderful girl, and none of us could do without you. Aside from the fact that I love you, I consider you an invaluable part of our crew." He watched her face light up with a beautiful smile, and he added, "That leads me on to something else I wanted to talk about. I just wanted to thank you for what you did for the Maliri. With your help, we're going to transform the lives of all those girls, and let them have the babies they wanted so much."

Jade's smile grew even wider, and her eyes sparkled as she said, "I loved seeing them all staring at you in awe. It felt so wonderful to help the Maliri like that, and I just wish we'd had a few more days there, so you could have used me to impregnate them all yourself." She sighed wistfully, then continued, "They were lovely, beautiful girls, and leaving all eighty of them with your babies growing in their bellies would have been amazing."

"Knowing that I'll eventually be having children with you, and my girls on the ship, is more than enough compensation, believe me," he said playfully, emphasising his point with a loving kiss that brushed her full green lips.

The Nymph's expression softened as she asked him reverently, "Did you really mean what you said before, about breeding me over and over, and creating hundreds of new Nymphs?"

"Of course, I'd never lie to you. I love and respect you too much to ever do that," he told her sincerely. "When we've dealt with the Progenitor problem, I plan to keep you pregnant for decades."

Jade shivered with excitement, her pussy sucking at him hungrily as if she was urging him to start right now. "I feel so happy," she said with an airy sigh, gazing at him with wonder.

*Go ahead and ask her,* Alyssa prompted him eagerly. *It's the perfect time, trust me.*

John took a deep breath, then said, "Jade, there's one other thing I wanted to talk to you about."

She gave him a kiss, gently brushed her lips against his, and purred, "I've loved this conversation so far, I can't wait to hear what it is."

"You asked me before what I was thinking about, when I smiled as I carried you into the room," John began, studying her face carefully. "I've been holding back from asking you about this, to try and find the perfect time, but I realised that just being with you is about as perfect as it gets."

Jade sighed with delight, her tender expression showing him the strength of her feelings for him. "What did you want to ask me?" she asked, her voice soft as her enchanting eyes studied his face.

"I want to spend the rest of my life with you, and I'm planning to have lots of children with you too. I love you so much, and I want us to get married," he told her, his words heartfelt, and his expression earnest.

The Nymph looked stunned, and blinked at him in shock. "But it wouldn't be right," she mumbled incredulously. "You're my Master. I'm here to serve you and your mates."

John smiled at her and asked, "You must know I love you just as much as the other girls?"

Jade gave him a hesitant nod, but replied quietly, "I'm just here for you to use, and I want to give you pleasure. This kind of formal declaration of affection feels wrong somehow."

Tracing his fingertips along her jawline in the loving gesture she'd often used with him, John said, "When Alyssa and I found you, that might have been how you felt, but you aren't driven by just that simple need any longer. I can see how much you've developed and grown, and you want more out of life now, don't you?"

Jade stared at him with wide eyes, and nodded slowly.

"Tell me," he urged her. "What do you want?"

After taking a big breath, Jade said in a rush, "I want to protect you and your girls, and grow stronger so I can do that. I want to learn lots of new things, like I did when I trained to become a pilot, so I can make myself useful on this ship. I've spent centuries surrounded by the worst of humanity, so more than anything else, I know you're a good man who cares about others, and I want to help you protect and save people!" She paused, shocked by her own vehemence, and added in amazement, "You're right, I do want more!"

Smiling at her affectionately, John said, "I know, and that's what makes you so special. You've grown so much over these last few months, and I love the smart, capable, loving, caring girl you've become."

Jade looked overwhelmed, and he held her close while she processed this revelation about her own development. Her dazed eyes eventually sharpened, and she stared at him intently as she said, "I've only changed because you've nurtured me and helped me grow." Her eyes filled with tears as she continued, "I thought that I hadn't really changed much since knowing you, not like the other girls had. But you've given me the same wonderful Gift as the others haven't you?"

John smiled at her, brushing his fingers through her hair, as he nodded. "I love you, and want you to grow and develop just as much as the other girls. I'll do everything I can to give you a happy, fulfilling life," he told her honestly.

Jade bit her lower lip, and she smiled at him shyly as she said, "Then I accept."

He grinned at her in delight, hugging her fiercely, while Jade let out a beautiful carefree laugh, feeling absolutely overjoyed. They kissed each other passionately, both overcome with happiness.

When they eventually parted, Jade gazed at him from under her long lashes, and she asked softly, "John, could I ask you for something?"

"Of course, anything," he replied without pause.

Her cheeks flushed slightly as she said, "I love you being my Master, and I don't ever want that to change. I -need- to be submissive to you, it's just my nature. But just this once, could we make love as equals?"

"That would be wonderful, Jade. I can't think of anything I'd love to do more," John said in return. He gave her one last kiss, then gently eased out of her.

"What are you doing?" she asked him in surprise.

"Shh, just lay back and relax. I've lost count of the number of times you've gone down on me, and I have a huge deficit to make up for!" he said, giving her a playful grin.

She stared down at him with wide, unblinking eyes as he trailed kisses down over her breasts, pausing to suck on each of her nipples, while kneading her pliant flesh with his strong hands. Her eyes grew hooded with lust as she sank back on the bed, moaning in ecstasy as her fiancé worked his magic on her.

***

Alyssa lay back on the bed, and she felt a lump in her throat after listening to the moving words between John and the lovely Nymph he was intertwined with. It was so wonderful to be able to experience these loving moments, and she felt incredibly grateful for her telepathic gift. She let out a happy sigh, then turned to cuddle up with Irillith, who lay fast asleep beside her. Glancing over at Rachel, Alyssa saw that she was still sitting on the other side of the bed, staring at the holo-reader in fascination as she scanned through the Maliri medical archives. Deciding to leave the brunette to her research, Alyssa stroked Irillith's hair as she snuggled up behind her, then closed her eyes and focused on the metaphysical representations of each of the girls in her mind.

Irillith's blue rose was just as beautiful as before, but most of those sharp thorns had faded away, leaving the slender green stem smooth for the most part. There were still a few barbs, which tweaked Alyssa's curiosity, because the Maliri girl's personality had transformed radically since she had first joined them, showing no sign of her previous sharpness. She realised she was jumping to conclusions about the thorns representing Irillith's prickly personality, but it was too much of a coincidence, and the symbolism fit too well. That was one thing that Alyssa had learned about the metaphysical world, that symbols and imagery seemed to be more powerful here.

She turned her attention to Calara next, the first of her beautiful crystal depictions of the Terran girls. The Latina was radiating happiness, and seemed to have found a new level of peaceful contentment after her sparring session with John. Alyssa never really got their obsession with Martial Arts, or the Terran Federation for that matter, but Calara and John were like two peas in a pod on those things. It was what had made the brunette such a perfect choice to join them in the first place, let alone her unsurpassed tactical abilities, along with her incredibly perceptive powers of deduction. Alyssa sighed happily as she listened to Calara's thoughts, and smiled when she caught her daydreaming blissfully about her lovers.

Focusing on Rachel next, the tawny-haired girl seemed to have been revitalised with a renewed sense of purpose. She was currently throwing herself into her research on Maliri ailments, searching for any incurable afflictions she could focus her fearsome intellect on. Alyssa had been listening in on Rachel's intimate conversation with John that morning, and she marvelled at the powerful affect his words and actions had on each of the girls. The compulsion to obey him had been removed, but he'd built such strong relationships with each of them, the removal didn't seem to matter.

Speaking of which, she focused her attention on the mosaic of tiny stone pebbles that represented Jade in her mind. The image was largely the same, with John still resting his hand on her tummy protectively, as a husband might over his wife's expectant belly. Jade was still gazing at him in wonder, but her posture and stance had changed subtly. The couple now seemed to be exactly that, with Jade's perception of her own status raised substantially, and no longer quite so slavishly deferential to John. By contrast, the look of absolute devotion on the Nymph's face was breathtaking in its intensity. To see such a pure representation of love was overwhelming to her senses, and she almost felt guilty for intruding.

Turning quickly to Dana next, she chuckled inwardly as she felt the impatience radiating in waves off her old friend. Sparks was currently inspecting Irillith's Laser rifle, having dismantled it earlier that morning. It wasn't the research into the Maliri tech that was making Dana so impatient, as she was finding their technological secrets to be quite fascinating; she was eagerly awaiting her own turn with John. It had been a couple of weeks since the redhead had been able to spend any time alone with him, after Progenitor-John had taken over and caused chaos. The poor girl had been missing him terribly, and Alyssa regretted not pushing John to go to her first.

Alyssa had already been with him since that ugly episode, but she knew just how her old friend had been feeling. She concentrated on sending soothing, sympathetic thoughts to Dana, wrapping her subconscious up in a loving embrace of positivity. It only took a few minutes to work, as she calmed the other girl's mind, filling her with a sense of serenity.

*Thanks, that feels tons better,* Dana thought to her with relief. *I've been so distracted recently, it's been getting hard to concentrate.*

*Don't worry, it'll be your turn soon,* Alyssa told her encouragingly. *It's going to be worth the wait, I promise!*
