Chapter 14
Jill, do you copy? Alice called over the earwigs.
I'm here, Alice. What's up? Jill asked after a while.
I have one thing to say to you Valentine. Alice's amusement was clear in her voice.
What's that, Abernathy? Jill's curiosity was clear.
Jackpot. Alice told her friend and the silence that followed made her think that her blonde friend was trying to figure out what that meant.
After a few minutes she heard the blonde come back over the comms. Really, how big?
Her excitement was clear in her voice and it caused Claire and K-mart to exchange a confused look. "I have no idea." Claire answered K-mart's unanswered question.
Huge. They heard Alice reply and K-mart just shook her head, "Your wife is really weird at times." She told Claire. "How in the world do you put up with her?"
"She's beautiful, loving, and the sex is fantastic." Claire shrugged and smirked when the young blonde winced. "You asked. So what bothers you about that answer, the fact that it's two adults having sex, or two women?"
"Neither." K-mart told her, "It's the fact that I think of you two as my family That's a bad mental image."
Claire laughed at the teen and the two continued to chat as they kept their lookout going until they were signaled by both trucks to return to the ship. By the time that Claire had refueled the Osprey and docked in the hanger bay the crew were halfway done unloading Jill's second truck and they still had Alice's to go. She made her way back to the loading ramp where Jill and Alice were in the same positions as the week before. They were silently watching the group work and making sure that none of the crew had come back infected. She leaned against the railing and looked at her wife. "Jackpot?" She asked quietly.
Alice smiled at her. "You'll see as soon as they start unloading my truck." She smiled wider at her lover's frown and asked, "How are we on the time?"
"We're pushing it, but I think we'll make it alright." Claire told her. "It took them longer than they thought to unload the first trucks and Anne says that she's running out of storage room. I told them to start filling some of the unused corridors and the lower rooms if they have too. We might have to reassign housing for the trip and put some people on floors or couches."
"Yeah, I was afraid of that." Alice agreed, "It's going to make the trip to the island cramped but I don't see any other option. We can pull out some of the sleeping bags if we have to and put them on the floor in the chow hall and K-mart can move into our room and sleep on the couch. That would free up one room we could put more people in."
"I've already suggested that." Claire told her, "But she said she would rather bunk up elsewhere and let us have our privacy."
"Alright." Alice nodded. "It's her call." She watched as the last little bit was removed from Jill's truck and moved out of the way to make room for hers. "How did we make out on tools and building supplies?"
"As good as we could." Claire told her. I ran into William and he was looking over what we had and what we brought back. It's going to be tight, but there's nothing else for it. We might have to send out another raiding party at some point, but we should be able to complete all of our originally planned projects."
Claire turned to look as the door of the truck was raised and she felt her jaw drop in awe. "Holy fucking hell." She said as she saw all the weapons piled up on the back end of the truck bed. "You weren't kidding were you?" Alice just smirked at her. "Bows and arrows, really Alice? Why the fishing rods and tackle?" She asked as she spotted one of the deep sea fishing rods on the top.
"Hunting and fishing baby." Alice smiled at her, "The island has deer, wild boar, and other animals that can be killed with a bow and arrow. Then the arrows can be cleaned and reused and we save on the ammo."
Claire just nodded in shocked understanding but then asked, "Can you even shoot a bow and arrow?"
"Why of course I can." Alice smiled at her. "I have many talents, baby. Haven't you figured that out by now? I'm not the only one. Jill and I are already making plans to teach some of the teenagers how to hunt and fish. I figure it'll be a good way for them to contribute."
"What other animals are on the island?" Claire asked in interest, realizing they have never really discussed it. "I know there aren't sheep or anything that give off wool because Anne wanted more cloth."
"As for large game and food producing animals." Alice said, "It's kind of strange the mixture of animals we found last time. There were no signs of previous habitation, but they had to come from somewhere. We kind of thought that maybe a ship carrying people and animals for colonization sank and some of the animals managed to make it ashore and then repopulate from there. There are wild boar, pigs, deer, chicken, geese, and ducks. Then of course all the fish in the ocean."
"What about poisonous or dangerous animals?" Claire asked as they continued to watch them unload.
"Some snakes and spiders there are poisonous." Alice told her, "But I can make sure everyone is aware of what to look out for. There are some plants that are dangerous if eaten, and then of course some of the sea life is dangerous."
"How do you know all this?" Claire asked in awe.
"I told you I was looking at it to set up as an escape." Alice shrugged, "I took people with me that could educate me on what was there."
Claire couldn't help but be amazed at how meticulous her wife was when she put her mind to something. She supposed she shouldn't be surprised, but as she watched the survivors unload tent after tent, some small two man tents, some large ten to twelve man ones, and some the size of small storage sheds, she still found that she was.
Claire reached back and placed a loving hand on Alice's back and used the contact to show her support and love for her wife. It was getting very close to sun set when they waved the last person on the ship. Jill, Alice and Claire then joined them before immediately going to the wheelhouse as Luther and Chris raised the boarding ramp. "Get us out of here, Jason." Claire ordered as she entered the room.
"I would be more than happy to, ma'am." Frank told her, as he set about doing just that. It took them several long intense minutes to get the ship turned around and then they all waited as they made their way slowly out of the bay and into the open waters. Once they were clear of land on all sides, all four people breathed a sigh of relief and then beamed at each other. Alice couldn't help herself. She picked the redhead up and spun her around with a wild smile.
"We did it." She said, as she set her wife back down. Claire simply held on to the strong arms of her lover. "We did it and we didn't lose a single person. I can't believe the luck we've had."
"Makes up for all the shit that's happened up until now, doesn't it?" Claire smiled and then turned to pick up the ship's mic and keyed the ship's wide intercom system.
Ladies and Gentlemen, can I have your attention please? I am happy to announce that we have successfully completed our mission and we are now back in open water. She could hear a cheer go up around the ship. I know that we've all had a long day and that there's still plenty that needs to be done. I ask that you all continue to pitch in and help get the newest supplies inventoried and stored and then you can enjoy yourselves for the next week while we cruise to our location, because once we reach Phoenix Island it will be full steam ahead trying to turn it into our new home.
As she disconnected the mic she could here another cheer rising through the ship. With a smile on her face she looked at Jason, "Take us home, Jason." She ordered.
"With pleasure, ma'am." The older man beamed at her. They stood around talking until Luther and Chris entered to take their turn on watch. Claire just smiled at the men as she grabbed Alice by the belt loops and started pulling her from the room.
"I guess we won't be seeing them for a while." Jill commented, shaking her head as she watched them leave. Turning to look at two frowning faces she rolled her eyes, "Oh grow up already." She told them before leaving herself and going to find the beautiful doctor Sarah to talk to.
Soapy hands glided over the muscular back and moved the long red hair to one side, then dropped down to cup two perfect breasts. A warm tongue licked from the base of the smooth neck up to a perfect ear. The redhead tilted her head to the side to give her lover more access as Alice's hands traveled in front of the smaller woman and started pinching and squeezing her nipples into hard peaks. One hand released her breast and traveled down to play in wet curls, causing the younger woman to start panting. She couldn't believe how fast Alice made her passion rise. She had never felt anything like this before.
She suddenly felt the tall woman's wet mound against her rear end. Alice's hand momentarily left Claire's breast to open herself on the woman's round behind. Then she returned to tease the stiff nipples with her fingers and palm.
She slid her long fingers back and forth along Claire's already swollen need, and massaged her throbbing bundle with her thumb. The younger woman moaned. Her desire for her wife was becoming unbearable and she panted out her plea, "Please Alice . . . inside . . . now . . . please."
The taller woman gave her love what she needed. She entered her with two fingers in one smooth motion. The redhead held on to Alice's forearm with both hands as Alice's other hand was still stimulating the heaving breast, while she slowly licked and suckled the elegant neck. Alice was rocking against her lover from behind, not knowing what came over her. She had never been with anyone like this before, but it just seemed natural to her.
Claire was riding the long fingers that were buried deep inside of her and holding onto the powerful forearm. She had never been taken like this before, but for some reason it seemed familiar...primal even. Claire's panting came in shorter spurts. Her pelvis moved faster making the fingers push deeper inside of her and the thumb rubbed harder against her clit.
As she heard her lover's erratic breathing behind her and felt the copious amounts of thick wetness spreading over her behind, she knew Alice was close too. They both sped up and knew they were going over together. Claire came hard and kept saying, "Oh God...I love you Alice..." Was all she could pant over and over.
Alice went over moaning in her lover's ear trying to control her screams, aware that others might over hear them. "I love you Claire, I love you so much."
The redhead came down from her glorious ride and started to collapse. If her lover hadn't been holding her, she would have landed on the tile floor of the shower. Alice pulled out of her lover and held her close. She turned off the shower and carried Claire out. She lay down beside her lover, kissing her slowly at first, and then moving so that she was lying on top of her. Their lips opened and tongues dueled, soft moans came from one or both of them but neither was concerned. Alice threaded her long fingers into silky hair and pulled Claire closer; she moved one leg and felt a smaller one slip between hers and press against her center.
When their kiss broke, she felt warm moist lips trail down her jaw to her neck. Alice whimpered and moaned each time Claire touched her to distraction and then backed off; her skin tingled wherever lips, tongue, or fingers explored. She opened her eyes when all the touching stopped and saw a flushed face and darkened blue eyes looking down at her. The fading cast a golden sheen across her lover's skin and made a hallo radiate from around her body.
Claire growled deeply and pinned her hands up over her head. "Don't move them or I'll stop." She moved towards the foot of the bed and then straddled Alice's hips, letting her eyes travel down from kiss-swollen lips to firm breasts; she then reached out to tease her hardened nipples.
Alice arched her back to offer more and moaned when Claire moved her fingers down to trace the muscles of her stomach. "You're just gonna…tease me aren't you?" Her head fell back when a wet tongue traced her taut muscles.
"Maybe…," Claire licked around her navel. "Maybe not." She moved down the bed to trace above the thin strip of hair and moaned from the scent of her lover's arousal. She looked up with lidded eyes to see Alice clench her jaws each time she licked her skin. Moving up her body, she stopped when she was above her and looked down into her sweat-moistened face. "Look at me, baby," she moaned when ice blue eyes opened and held her in place. "I want to hear you; I don't care who else on this ship hears you, but I want to."
She dipped her head down to capture soft parted lips and kissed her until she saw colors behind her lids. When the kiss broke, she waited until she was able to breathe before she spoke. "I need to hear you." She licked around a taut nipple and then nipped lightly before lavishing the same
attention to its twin.
"I can't…I don't want everyone else talking about you…" Alice managed to pant out.
"I don't care, Alice." She dragged her tongue down from breasts, to ripped abs, and then down to soft curls, stopping only to see glowing hazel eyes watching her. "Please Alice." She said softly, before dragging her tongue across swollen nether lips and then around her twitching clit. She understood that her lover was trying to protect her, but she needed to hear her moans and her whimpers. Moving deeper between her lover's thighs, she raised them up and placed them over her shoulders. Inhaling deeply, she moaned and then used one hand to spread apart her lips. Her mouth watered when her lover's nectar flowed from her center and she brought the flat of her tongue up and licked away her offering.
Alice ground her jaws together and clenched her fists to keep from uttering a sound. She pushed her head back deeper into the pillow and lifted her hips up into her lover's mouth, her neck muscles tightened and her temples pulsed with strain. But no sound came from her, just tears sliding from the corners of her eyes.
Claire tilted her head sideways, pulled her lover's throbbing clit between her lips and pushed two fingers deep inside of her. She pushed and pulled out slowly until she felt inner muscles begin to tighten and twitch. She stopped just before she pushed her over the edge, lifted her head up and looked at a straining Alice.
"Look at me Alice," she gave her a small smile when feverish blue eyes locked with hers. "Let go for me…I love you…let go, there's nothing to be afraid of." She dropped her head back down and flicked the tip of her tongue across her exposed bundle of nerves.
When Alice's body arched off the bed, she held on and continued to lick and press her fingers upward inside her clenching center. The yell that came from her lover when she went over the edge made her ears ring; she sucked and thrust her fingers deep inside her until she took her back over the edge again with another scream.
She stopped when Alice fell limp in the bed and deep sobbing noises came from her. Leaving soft kisses all the way up her body, she stopped at her neck and then laid beside her, she pulled her into her arms and held her tightly.
Long moments later when Alice had quieted, she pulled back to place soft kisses on her lips. "Thank you." She said softly before wrapping her arms around her and pulling her head down to rest on her shoulder. Alice closed her eyes and wished that she could crawl inside of her lover; she had never felt this way before. Never felt such trust, such love, and such contentment before. She felt shattered and whole at the same time. She wrapped her arms around Claire and held on for dear life when her body continued to shudder with aftershocks from her orgasm.
Spreading her fingers out, she trailed them down damp flesh until they came to trim hips. She rolled Claire over and rested her face against her chest. She moved her head a little so that she could look up into her wife's face. "Why did you thank me?"
"Because you gave me everything," Claire moved down so that they were eye-to-eye. Leaning closer, she brought their lips together in a deep consuming kiss. When they parted, she placed soft kisses at the corners of her lips and rested their foreheads together. "I love you," she whispered and brought their lips together in a soft caress. "As crazy as you make me at times, I'm in love with you, Alice."
Alice felt her chest swell and tears come to her eyes, she had had heard it from the woman before and she had said it just as many. She knew her wife loved her, but she couldn't stop. She dropped her head down to rest on her lover's shoulder and let the tears flow.
Alice placed her lips close to her lover's ear and whispered. "I love you, Claire. You are my wife, my mate, and my other half." She kissed the area right below her ear and nipped slightly, "And I'm going to show you just how much I love you until the sun comes up."
She left not a place on her lover's smaller body unexplored, between tender kisses and worshiping touches, she had Claire squirming and begging. Kneeling on either side of trim hips, she dragged her fingertips down across firm breasts. She stopped when Claire arched up against her hands, she could feel her fingers tingle and the goose flesh rise and then fall from soft skin.
She leaned forward and gently suckled each nipple before kissing her way down to red curls, the sounds that came from Claire had her center pulsing and her nectar flowing. She moved so that she was kneeling between her lover's thighs and reached out to taste her with the tip of her tongue. She moaned deeply and pressed her tongue deeper to search out Claire's offering.
"Alice…"Claire gasped out and thrust her hips against her lover's tongue; she tangled her fingers in long hair and pulled her tighter to her as she sat up halfway."Right…there." Her head fell back on her shoulders, body tensed, and then she screamed out Alice's name when her body quaked and juices pumped from her center. She fell forward to lie over Alice's back and grunted with each contraction that coursed through her body.
When her lover moved upward, she wrapped her arms around her neck and pulled her head to her. She kissed her deeply and moaned from the taste of herself on her lips and tongue. She wasn't ready for Alice to position them so that their clits were against each other or for her to move against her and take her back up to the edge.
She wrapped her arms around her neck tighter and captured her lips in a deep soul-searing kiss right before they fell off the edge together. Their noises were swallowed as they rode out the waves of their orgasm. Alice rolled to her side and took her wife with her; they lay wrapped in each other's arms as sleep took them.
