The winds of the Etherium were strong but welcoming. It meant for a fast arrival to the Coral Galaxy. Jim stood at the helm, guiding the ship to her destination. His thoughts were stuck on Barlow and how he would defeat him.
How was one to kill a creature so vile and strong? Barlow was a righteous enemy, that much was certain.
"Captain," said Phillip.
James turned to look at him. "Yes?"
"Captain Kate has just arrived below deck and will be shortly, as you requested."
"Good. Thank you for letting me know." Jim had asked Kate to bring some clothes for Iris. Thankfully Kate had packed some extra clothes. He saw her walk upa and scanned the top deck. When she saw him she took a breath, sighing, and then made her way up to him.
"Where is she?" Kate asked as she held a bag filled with clothes no doubt.
"In my room, where she's safe." He told her.
"You think keeping her locked up will keep her safe?"
Jim gave her a look. "She's not locked up."
Kate sighed. "Then I'm assuming the door is unlocked and I can walk in freely?" Jim nodded at this. "Good," said Kate. "Then you won't mind me going into your room?"
"Of course not."
Kate said no more on the matter and made her way to Jim's room.

When she opened the door Iris was looking out the window.
"Kate?" Iris was surprised to see her.
Before speaking Kate scanned the bedroom. Their clothes were still on the floor and her heart sank to her stomach. She used to share intimate moments with Jim in this very room and now he shared it with Iris. The thought stung a little. "These are for you."Kate handed her the bag of clothes.
"Thank you." Said Iris.
"You're welcome. Its the least I can do." She paused. "Do you need help?"
Iris open the bag of clothes and found a blouse and long black skirt, brassier, and bloomers.
"I think I'll be okay." Iris could manage putting on clothes as simple as this. Sarah had dressed her up in fancier clothes than this.
Kate was about to leave but noticed Iris' crystal. "Do you mind...if I ask you...about that?" She gestured toward the crystal.
Iris looked down, touching her crystal. "Its a part of me. Its my life and my planets life."
"Does everyone on your planet...your island, have crystals, too?"
Iris nodded.
"By the way," said Kate, "do you know exactly what it is that you're doing with Jim?"
Iris wasn't sure what she meant by that.
Kate took Iris' silence as a question to what she meant. "What I mean is: have you sgared a bed with him...have you slept with him?" Kate felt like she was over stepping her bounds but she had to know.
"You mean...making love?" Iris finally said.
Kate nodded.
"Yes, we've made love."
The fact that Iris came out and said it so casually shocked Kate. "Iris, its okay to tell me this, but don't go around talking about it to others, okay."
Iris started taking Jim's shirt off. "I know." She paused for a moment and then said, "Please don't talk to me like I'm stupid. I may have grown up differently, but that doesn't mean I don't know anything."
Kate slightly laughed. "Of course. I didn't mean to upset you, I just don't want you gettung hurt." She saw herself to the door and left Iris be.

Kate made her way back Jim and found him looking over a map and talking with some of his crew.
"I can see why you like her." Kate interrupted the conversation.
Jim rolled up the map and put it in his back pocket; his crew spread out. Jim said nothing to her comment about Iris. "Do the clothes fit her alright?"
Kate said, "I didn't stick around to find out. I offered to help her but she didnt need it, so I left."
"Either way, said Jim, "its better than what she wearing before."
"I don't know," said Kate. "I thought she looked kinda of cute your clothes." Kate was teasing obviously and wasn't serious about what she said.
Jim took out a piece of paper from his front pocket and handed it to Kate. "These are plans I've written down when we reach the island. I'm sharing this with only you because I don't want to risk having some leak out information."
Kate moved closer to Jim lowered her voice. "You think there is a spy gaming us?"
"I don't know, but after how far we've come I don't want to fuck anything up."
"Understandable." Said Kate and she put the paper in her jacket pocket. "If you need anything else don't hesitate to contact me."
Jim nodded. "Likewise."

That evening Jim joined Iris in his room by bringing her supper. It was roast with vegetables and mashed potatoes. It wasn't nearly as good as Sarah's cooking, but it wasn't bad either.
Iris and Jim sat at a small table and ate their meal. There was small talk about the planet and island all ofil its inhabitants.
"We'll have to face Barlow eventually, won't we?" Said Iris. She had just finished eating.
Jim wiped his mouth clean, sliding his plate forward. "Unfortunately."
"In want to be the one to do it." Said Iris. "I want to kill Barlow with my own hands."
"I know you do, but so do a lot of people. Barlow has killed a lot of people that we used to know."
Iris stood up, sighing as she stood next to the window.
Jim got up to join her and put his arms around her as he stood behind. He kissed her neck. "I'm sorry you had to be stuck in here all day. I just want you to be safe."
"I know. And don't be sorry." Iris said and turned around to face him. "Do you like my new clothes?" she asked.
Jim smirked and pressed his body against hers, pinning her to the windowsill. "I do, but I think you look better without any on." He pressed his lips against hers and kissed her lovingly, licking and sucking her bottom lip as he begged for entrance. Eventually Iris stopped teasing him and let him slip his tongue into her mouth. He kissed her harder this time, grabbing the back her neck and holding her closer to him.

Suddenly, Jim hoisted her up on the ledge of the windowsill and lifted up her skirt. He pulled off her panties and rubbed her private.
Iris moaned, enjoying the feel of Jim slipping his fingers in and out of her slowly. "Jim," She breathed, barely able to contain her excitement for him. "Please." She begged.
Jim took off his belt and unzipped his pants. His dick was already getting hard.
Iris made her move and stroked his cock, enjoying the fact that she had complete control over him. When he reached his full length in erection he slipped inside of her, grabbing her by the hips and thrusted. His hot breaths on her neck left Iris wanting Jim to go even deeper and fuck her harder. She adored the how his cock moved inside of her, the walls of her vagina tightening as she was coming her climax.
Jim could feel it all but he had cam so much in the last twenty four hours that he was finding it difficult to cum now. However, that didn't stop him from making her feel good and enjoying himself in the process.

At last they reached their climax. Jim pulled out, cuming on her leg. As before he cleaned her off.
For the rest of the evening cuddled on the bed. Iris sang to him in her native tongue, lulling him to sleep. Even though he would never admit it, this whole day was exhausting for him. He had spent most of his days going over plans with his crew and constantly keeping a look out for Barlow. He knew that dastardly pirate was after them and that it was only a matter of time before he would catch up to them.
There was a fight ahead of them and no matter how much Jim wanted to avoid that fight it had to happen. There was one thing for certain, though, and that was that the future never was. Who knew what tomorrow would bring...
