Jack examined the room he had been brought it to in extreme interest. Even item in the room was designed to impart an attitude of understated affluence and meant to put the occupant at ease. Such could be said about the entire planet for that matter. He had traveled for hours up and down the streets looking for the richest, cleanest brothel he could find. Although his drunken ramblings were usually best left unremembered, his conclusions as far as pleasure planets went were rather accurate.
Not only was this the most upstanding establishment on a planet full of upstanding establishments, it also had a reputation for having the most beautiful and daring employees on the planet. So far, he was quite impressed. He had requested the most expensive package on offer, believing that if he were going to patronize a house on this rock, he was going to go all out. So far, he had not been discouraged. The massage he had been given was absolutely sinful…so many hand in so many places. It was the definition of sensory overload and he loved every moment of it.
Next he was given free reign of an inlet of a hot spring, individually formulated for his ideal temperature. The high powered jets of water thrusting out from under the rock floor did wonders for his mood. He floated among the tropical flowers that grew in the heated water and savored the bone-deep warmth seeping into his body. Spending too much time in space tending to give one an innate coldness. After enjoying a meal full of the delicacies of several nearby cultures, he was ready for the next item on the itinerary.
He turned as the door opened and he saw a statuesque blue goddess. Her four arms trailed gracefully down the front of her robe and she approached him with a sensual sway to her body. He was completely taken by the intensity of her gaze. Rather than hair, her head was covered with an elaborate headdress of jewels and shells. It was breathtaking. She laid down next to him on the bed and reached out for his face in awe. He wondered that she had never seen another human before. It was odd but perhaps not impossible. As she leaned in for a kiss, all thoughts fled from his mind. As they kissed, she slowly moved to remove his clothing. Breaking for air, he realized that she had three tongues.
"Oh…I think I may learn to love this," he breathed out before leaning in for another kiss.
Three hours later, he was calm and sated. She lay by his side, tracing delicate patterns into his skin. He almost wished he could drift to sleep, certain that no nightmares could follow such a delicious evening. He languidly stretched his muscles and resolved to do this more often in the future.
The next morning, he enjoyed a hearty breakfast, regaining his strength from the prior days exertions. He knew that was much as he enjoyed him time on the Aeyine Bagnio, he could not pass the rest of his days in such a manner.
Returning to his shuttle, he strapped himself into the pilot's chair and prepared for takeoff. Pleasure of the body well taken care of, next was pleasure of the mind. With a final flick of the control switches, he rose above the ground and set off for his next destination.
