Hen house

"Honourable Master?" asked Sirius causing me to look up from my desk, what I saw made my jaw drop. Her hands were lifting the hem of her skirt, but not enough to show anything as she continued, "I am aware that Honorable Master has needs that are no longer being met if you wish for me to service those needs,"

I put my hands up and shake my head, "No, no, I'm good!"

Her cheeks became bright red and she let go of her skirt, and looked down as she said, "M-my apologies! I made a rather careless assumption."

Closing my eyes, my shoulders slumped as I get out from behind my desk and place my hands on her shoulders while I sigh, "It's alright Sirius, but I'm not looking for… servicing, and that is something I would never ask you to do."

"Thank you, Honourable Master, but the offer still stands. I will even try to enjoy it." She mumbled not looking up from the ground.

With another heavy sigh, "Sirius, listen to me," she looked up at me with her red eyes through her eyelashes, "I will never, never ask any of you girls to do that. To me, I want it to mean something, not just a thing to do, okay?"

She nodded, "I think I understand, Honorable Master."

Patting her shoulders, I smile warmly, "Good, now, thank you for my lunch, but you best be off, I'm sure there is something you need to attend to."

She steps back and curtsies then leaves my office, before the door even closes I rest my butt on my desk and breath a heavy sigh, "She's the fifth girl in two weeks to offer it up to me, what is going on?"

From my door, I hear Javelin tap on a datapad as she says, "Five up, five down."

Looking at her, I tilt my head to the side and ask, "Javelin?"

"Aye?" she asks, holding the datapad close to her chest, blinking her green-blue eyes at me, innocently, like too innocently.

Pursing my lips, my voice takes on a warning tone, "Javelin, what do you know?"

"The cat, or maybe, the succubus is out of the bag, Captain. The whole base knows about what you were doing with Implacable." She says with a shrug.

Victorious! She must've blabbed!

"Oh hell." I say slowly as everything starts to sink in and I ask, "But why five offers from five different girls?"

Javelin walks up to me, reaches up, and flicks me between the eyes as she says, "Jeez Captain, are you really that dense? The girls here really care about you and want you to be happy. You take such good care of us and ask nothing from us, so some of them think we should take care of you."

"But why? I mean I tried to be so discreet and keep how I'm feeling after Implacable to myself." I moan.

"Look we all knew something changed in you just before Implacable shipped out, but aside from me, none of the girls knew what it was, now they know and now they want to make you feel whole." Javelin sighs as she sits beside me on my desk, "I'm not saying the way they are going about it is right, just that they are trying to figure out what to do for you."

Running my hands down my face and groaning, "What am I going to do, Javelin?"

"Find yourself a new woman, then I'm sure the rest of them will back down." She says when a shrug. When I turn my attention to her she puts her hands up and says, "Not a chance! You're like an unwanted older brother."

I give a hearty chuckle and slap her back, "And you are the sister I never wanted."

Javelin leans over and rests her head on my arm as she sighs, "I do worry about you, Captain, I know how unhappy you are right now and I just want you to be happy."

Moving my arm to hug it around her shoulders I lean my head against the top of hers, "I know. I know what I want, but getting what I want is the difficult part."

She reaches around my side to give me a light squeeze before letting go and getting off my desk she asks, "Anyway, I can I get off early? I want to get good seats for the movie tonight; I promised my sisters and Unicorn I'd have good seats for us."

Oh, that's good to hear that Unicorn is starting to make friends outside of Illustrious.

Waving my hand dismissively and with a sarcastic tone, "Yeah, that's fine, not a lot of work or anything today." She grins and closes the door behind her, leaving me alone in my office to go and open the silver dome that covered my lunch.

Lifting the cover off of it, I groan, "Oh come on!" On the plate, I see a heart-shaped pot pie with the words, 'We love you, Captain!' carved into the pastry.

I mean, I don't hate the show of love and support, but, well, this stuff only started showing up now! With a heavy sigh, I place the dome on the side and dig into my lunch, as I muse, "I wonder who number six is going to be now?"

Tossing the crust of some cold pizza onto a plate and wiping my hands, I turn back to the reports and intelligence from base work, patrols, and security services, today had turned into one of those days where it's well past the time I should've been off hours ago. Lifting my mobile I see the time and let out a sigh, it was already going on for twenty-one hundred local. Looking to my right, I see a stack of datapads I still need to go through, but I get out from behind my desk and look out the window at the port, I can see the large screen that had been set up in field number three, it's a bit far for me to make out everything on screen or hear what's being said. Turning back around I grab a couple of datapads, undo my jacket and flop onto my back on the couch as I start to read the information on them.

After a while of working away at this, I hear a knock on my office door that I have left wide open. Looking up from the current datapad on the projected dock expansion costs, I see Illustrious standing there, she's in her workout pants again and the oversize white tee shirt, hanging off of her right shoulder is a rolled-up mat of some kind, and her long white hair is tied back and I can just make out the glisten of sweat on her skin. Looking to her face she smiles warmly at me and asks, "Long night, Captain?"

Sitting up on the couch I stretch as I sigh, "Yeah, it turned into one of those days where nothing seems to come to an end. What brings you by my office?"

She shrugs and crosses the threshold into my office, "I was walking back from some practice and I saw your office light on, I figured you would have gone to the movie."

"What about you? Why didn't you take in the movie?" I ask with a raised eyebrow.

Her cheeks turn pink and she tries to brush a non-errant hair behind an ear, "Unicorn has started to make some friends outside of me, so I encouraged her to go with her friends tonight, and I took the opportunity to do something selfish."

Scooting to one end of the couch, and bobbing my head as I tell her, "It's not selfish to want to do something you enjoy."

Illustrious walks a little closer, but stops to rub her back and sighs, "While true, I am going to pay for it later, things tend to get into motion and I will try to overcompensate for it sometimes."

It took me a second to catch her meaning of 'things in motion', and I can't help but chuckle a little before getting off my couch as I say to her, "Then lay down, on your belly."

Illustrious blinks a couple of times, likely trying to weigh my intentions but in the end, she grabs a pillow off of my couch and places it just under her bust before laying out on my floor. With her laying like this, I kneel beside her and start to rub her back, starting at the small of her back, with light pressure, pushing up towards her shoulders. Once my fingers make contact with the bra strap going across her back, I start to make little circles with my fingers applying a little more pressure, working my way from the center of her back down towards her hips in a triangular motion, as I reach the waistband of her work out pants, I pick up the softest of sounds, "Mmm."

Smiling I work along the waistband then back up the center of her back till I reach the bra strap again, "Is this okay?"

The response she gave me was wordless; she simply reached behind herself and undid the clasp, sighing in relief. Moving my hands past the bra strap line and up to her shoulders, she became a little more vocal, "Mmm, that feels good, Captain."

Shifting from fingers to the palms of my hands to apply more pressure I continue to work my way up and around her shoulder blades, "If you want me to stop, just say the word."

"Ugh" She moaned softly as I started to work some knots I found in her shoulders, applying more pressure, just as I started to move from her shoulders to down her arms, she let out a full-throated cry of pleasure, "Ah!"

I stopped right there, my cheeks red hot.

There was an awkward moment, before Illustrious reached behind her and did up her bra strap and sat up facing me, her cheeks bright pink as she mumbled, "I can understand why my cousin enjoyed these."

I tilt my head to the side and ask, "Cousin?"

"Implacable." She states in a matter-of-fact tone while standing and placing the pillow back as she added, "She only had good things to say about you, Captain, even a little remorseful that you two wanted different things."

Right, Victorious mentioned that the other week.

Looking off to the side I get up off the floor and rub the back of my head, "Well, that's good to know I'm not in her bad books."

Illustrious turns to face me with those warm soft eyes and warm inviting smile, her arms pushing her bust together as she changes the subject, "Yes, well, thank you for the massage Captain Fox, you are rather skilled with your hands."

As soon as the words left her lips she turned bright red, covering her mouth with one hand as she quickly added, "Oh my, I… I didn't mean to imply anything of a lewd nature, Captain."

Interesting, that's the first time I've heard her use a contraction.

Putting up a hand and shaking my head from side to side I try and reassure her, "Nothing implied, Illustrious, but if you ever want another one, just stop by."

Illustrious places both hands on the strap for her mat and gives me a shy smile before she starts to leave my office she says, "I will keep that in mind, Captain."

I watched her hips sway from side to side before she comes to a sudden stop, her back becoming stiff as she spoke with some alarm at the start then shifted into her natural tone, "Unicorn! H… how was the movie?"

"Really good, big sister! Come with me, I'll tell you all about it on the way home." The purple-haired girl chirped as she dashed in to take hold of Illustrious' hand, taking a heartbeat to glare at me before tugging Illustrious away.

With the two carriers walking away, I saw Javelin standing there, a box of popcorn in her hand and a devilish smirk on her lips as she asked, "In the office?"

"What?" I ask trying to follow her train of thought.

Walking up to me, she places the popcorn in my hand and asks, "Did you pick out a girl?"

Blinking a couple of times and shaking my head as I yelp, "What? No! She was walking past and saw that I was still working and she came in for a chat."

"Then what?" Javelin asks while reaching into the popcorn.

"Then I saw she was having some back pain, so I gave her a back rub, totally innocent." I protest.

"That's how things started last time." Javelin reminds me.

Hanging my head and groaning, "Yeah."

Javelin reaches behind me and pats my back as she laughs, "I think you have a type, Captain."

"Yeah." I moan.

And apparently, it's big-breasted carriers.
