Cargo

Chapter 5

"You promised me you would fuck my mouth BEFORE you fucked me in my ass. You promised me, Rick!"

"I made no such promise," he insisted. "I don't know where you got that idea. But I'll tell you what I'll do. Next time we make love, I'll fuck your mouth first, even before I fuck your pussy."

Kate looked at him warily. "You promise?"

"Yes, Kate. I promise."

She pointed her finger at him. "I'm going to hold you to that. You promised."

"Why is it you want me to fuck your mouth anyway?"

"It's because when I was in the pod, I was fucked in my mouth while I was fucked in my pussy, and my ass all at the same time. I loved it, and I love it when you fuck me in my mouth." Kate blushed, "That and I like the taste of your CUM."

"You like the taste of my CUM?" Rick didn't believe her.

"Yes, I like the taste of your CUM. What's so surprising about that?"

He backpedaled immediately. "Nothing, nothing at all."

"Put on your space suit, mister." Kate wanted to get started and see what the location could offer them.

~oo0oo~

Rick led the way across to the airlock and opened it, finding the typical double airlock leading to a shuttle bay, which led to a control room. Unlike last time, these spaces were intact, so they took that as a good sign. But there still wasn't anyone.

They walked into the open space inside the Dyson Sphere and saw it was early morning. It looked deserted, but that was from a distance. It looked the same as the first city.

They risked it, took off their space suits, picked up their rifles, and headed into the city. Much like the first city, Kate took one side while Rick took the other. They saw the typical apartment buildings, banks, Home Depots, and other buildings. They also found their fair share of stores that had sold jewelry, gold and silver, along with a second gem-cutting room and another safe.

There was also a central building that they didn't enter. The pair stood outside it. "What do you think, Kate? Is it another pod building?"

She nodded slowly. "The architecture is different, but I think so, and I'm not going into it. I'm finally starting to feel normal again, and I don't want to regress."

"You don't want to be a whore?" Rick asked, watching her closely.

"NO, I don't want to be a whore. I don't ever want to feel that again. I'm happy making love to just one person." Kate kissed him. "Let's go. We have more city to explore."

~oo0oo~

They spent the days necessary to explore as much as they cared to. Kate crawled down the crawl space to reach the pods where she put their stuff.

"Twenty-nine pods left to go, and we haven't even touched the two large ones yet," Kate reported.

"I'm not sure we'll ever fill those here. We can't take two pods off the spine, so we're not taking one of the shuttles with us. All we're finding is little stuff. Expensive stuff, to be sure, but still small," Rick told her.

"At this rate, we won't be able to fill half of the pods," she told him.

"We'll have a pretty good payday when we sell it all. But we'll have to go deeper into the systems than ever before," Rick warned her. "The outer systems won't have the money to buy what we have."

"I'm not looking forward to that at all. They're going to ask us where we got all this stuff," Kate mentioned.

He rolled his eyes."Tell me something I don't know. But what choice do we have?"

Kate shrugged. "None. Now, do we search for another city or take what we've got? An entire Dyson Sphere will have way more than just two cities. I'm skipping the one with the zombies."

Rick blinked. "Zombies?"

"Well, that's what they looked like to me," Kate said defensively. "Zombies."

Rick got back on track. "We're running low on thruster fuel, though. I'm not sure we have enough to do another search and enough to reach a planet. Especially one with an orbital spaceport," he warned her.

She sighed. "Fine, we'll leave then. But you're making love to me before we leave. We won't get a chance again until we get there."

"I can live with that, Kate." And Rick grinned at her.

~oo0oo~

Rick fucked her pussy, then fucked her ass, and finally fucked her mouth. He had kept his promise to fuck her mouth first earlier. Kate would have to live with it.

It took them months to reach an inner system where they could see what they had.

They had no choice but to be one-off and one-on for the entire way. They didn't get much of a chance to make love again, and Kate was about to lose her mind. She had gotten used to Rick making love to her. Yes, she was addicted to sex, so shoot her.

Kate was standing behind him as he came into a docking position for docking at the space station. It was cheaper than landing, but they couldn't land anyway. Their ship just wasn't built for it.

Next, they had to pay for the docking space. Rick took care of that and returned to the ship. To his surprise, he found a naked Kate waiting for him.

"Make love to me. Please," she pleaded. "I'm about to lose my mind."

~oo0oo~

Rick ate her pussy until she climaxed twice, then he fucked her pussy, then her ass, and finally her mouth. After that, he ate her pussy again, giving her two more orgasms.

A satisfied Kate rested on top of Rick. She was happy finally. "I could have done without having you fuck my mouth after fucking my ass," she told him.

"Duly noted."

"And you're going to ignore that, aren't you?"

"Probably," Rick replied.

She sighed. She thought maybe she could adapt to it. Besides, the taste of it wasn't all that bad. It was more the thought of him being in her ass before being in her mouth that got her.

"Why is it you stop long enough to look at my ass?"

"I want to see how far open I made your ass," Rick said bluntly. "I can put my entire hand in your ass if you want?"

"NO!" Kate snapped, then thought about it. "Maybe, but only if you use lots and lots of lubricant."

"Deal," he nodded.

"Promise me you'll use lots and lots of lubricant first?"

He heaved a breath. "Yes, I promise."

"You better, mister, or you'll never fuck my ass again," Kate threatened him.

~oo0oo~

They had the space for two weeks. It was meant to sell their items and decide what to do next.

They sold all the gold coins. Selling all of the jewelry was proving to be more of a problem. It wasn't that people or businesses didn't want it. It was just that they had so much of it. They hadn't even tried to sell the uncut gems yet or the cut ones.

They were sitting down in the kitchen eating dinner. "We need to figure out what to do next. Do we go back to the Dyson Sphere? Do we load up with cargo, and what kind of cargo?" Rick inquired.

"What do you suggest that we do? You are co-owner," Kate reminded him.

"Well, I was mulling things over. We could load up with cargo first, then return to the Dyson Sphere and look around. Now, as to what cargo? I was thinking housing."

"Housing?" That took Kate by surprise. "Are you thinking modular or stick and frame?"

"Modular, definitely modular. The outer systems could use some housing. Better housing than what they have now. Have you seen some of their housing?" Rick sighed. "They're shacks held together with spit and bailing wire, Kate."

She considered it. She admitted Rick was right about what some of the housing looked like. Even if they were only cargo containers, they would be better.

Kate told him what he already knew. "We have 34 pods, two of which are quite large, four that are smaller but still bigger than the others. I'll leave it to you to decide what modular housing we carry, but remember that we have two big pods."

"Excellent, you won't regret it. It might not get us what the previous cargo did, but it'll be close," Rick told her. "I'll start tomorrow while you sell the stones."

~oo0oo~

Kate spent the next two days selling the stones. That just left selling what remained of the jewelry. She confronted him the minute he entered the ship. "Where have you been? I'm starving."

Instead of answering her, he showed her what he had. Kate looked at it and sucked in a breath. "Anal lube." She didn't actually expect him to use his fist while fucking her ass. She thought he was joking. "Fine, but you better use a lot of it," Kate told him and swallowed hard. He was planning to fuck her ass with his hand. Her butt would be wide open after this.

"I need to use the bathroom first." And she hurried away.

~oo0oo~

That very night Rick ate her pussy, and she climaxed twice. Then he fucked her pussy followed by fucking her ass. But no sooner was he in her ass when he pulled out. Then she felt a liquid applied to her ass.

This was it. Rick was going to use his fist. At first, she felt his fingers enter her ass. He added more fingers, then added more lube. Soon he was fisting her ass, and she was loving it. She was moaning up a storm.

Rick pulled his fist out and plunged it back in over and over again. Then he looked at his work and liked what he saw. Her ass was wide open.

~oo0oo~

Kate was lying on top of him, content. "How did you like it?" Rick asked her.

"I loved it." Kate kissed him. "Thank you for using as much lube as you did."

"It was my pleasure. Though it was your pleasure more than mine," Rick teased her, which earned him a swat to the chest.

~oo0oo~

Rick made sure every pod was removed before the material for the modular housing went in. They were reattached after that, thanks mainly to Kate. She was small enough to use the crawl space.

Their two weeks were almost up. They made love to each other one last time before they left tomorrow morning for the long trip out to the outer systems.

Kate was resting on Rick after making love to him. "Are all the pods full?" she asked, then yawned.

"You should know since you attached the pods to the stem, but yes, each is full."

"And our fuel tanks are full?"

"Yes, we're good to go tomorrow morning," he replied. "What has you worried? It's not about you being a whore, is it?"

"No, I don't think of myself as being a whore any longer. It's just I'm going to have to do without sex for months. I'm addicted to making love to you," Kate revealed.

Rick tried to think. "There has to be some way we can find to make it work."

But she shook her head. "No, someone needs to be on the bridge all the time. You know that, Rick. What if I hit a rogue asteroid, and the only excuse was because I was horny. No, I'll have to do without."

He shrugged. "Alright, don't say I didn't offer."

Kate lay down her head. It was the last time she slept on top of him. From now on, she would have to sleep in her bunk.

~oo0oo~

So, for two months traveling to the outer systems, both took turns on the bridge. Kate ate her lunch and leftovers for dinner that Rick made for her.

Their course didn't take them anywhere near the Dyson Sphere, so they weren't affected by the gravity well it generated.

They arrived at the planet, explained what they had, and sold out in under an hour. Some of it was paid for in money, which was in short supply, and some was paid for in mined goods.

Now, the mined goods were very popular back in the inner systems, seeing as how they had long ago mined them dry. So, whatever was mined in the outer systems was valuable. They just had to get it there. But then, that was what their ship was built for, running cargo.

The first pod was on the schedule to go tomorrow. A tug would take the pod off the spine once Kate crawled through the crawl space to unlock it. At the moment, Rick was busy making love to Kate. Since it had been two months since they last made love, she had to adjust to his size again. That included her pussy and especially her ass. So with a fair amount of anal lube, he fucked her ass.

Right now, a contented Kate was resting on Rick, her head lying on his chest. "Why didn't we do this months ago?" she wondered out loud.

"We've been down this road before, Kate. It's because you're my co-owner. I didn't want to mess that up by adding sex to the equation."

"Oh, that's right. And here I thought it was because I'm flat-chested. I mean, I don't even have so much as a hint of tit."

"Nope. Besides, there are other parts of you that I like just as much," Rick asserted.

Kate grinned at that. "You like me for my pussy and my ass. Admit it."

"Alright, I admit it. I like your pussy and your ass." Rick decided it was time to risk telling her that he loved her. "But that's not all I like. I've learned to love you too."

Hearing that, Kate raised her head and looked at him. "You love me?"

"Don't act all surprised, Kate. Surely you could tell I was falling for you? And yes, I love you."

Her answer to that was to kiss him. Then she broke from the kiss. "I have a confession to make."

"You don't love me." Just saying that earned him a swat to his chest.

"No, silly man. I love you, too. I think I knew that when we started making love to each other. I love you." Kate kissed him again. Then she rested her head back on his chest.

"So what do we do now?" Rick asked her.

Kate got back up and looked at him. "Huh? What do you mean, "What do we do now?"

"I mean, do we get married? Settle down somewhere and have kids and all that jazz?" Rick asked her.

"Slow down there, mister. I only just told you I love you. Don't go getting any ideas." Kate lay her head back on his chest and smiled. He was talking about marriage! She so wanted to be married to someone and had selected Rick for that honor.

"Maybe someday," she murmured.

"Like next week, maybe," he wondered out loud, "or next month?"

Kate leaned up to look at him. "Next week? Have you lost your mind? There's no possible way we can get married next week or even next month. So forget about it." She lay her head back down on his chest and smiled.

"I was just asking, woman."

"We can get married when we're back in the inner systems selling our cargo. After we go to the Dyson Sphere again." Kate grinned. She wanted to know what he thought of that idea.

"You got yourself a deal. Besides, it will give me time to find you a ring."

Hearing that, Kate raised her left hand where she could see it. One day, there would be a ring on that finger. She smiled and went to sleep.

~oo0oo~

It took them time to exchange cargo with those who wanted to buy using what they mined. They had to pay for the tug to get the pods and take them up again, whether full or empty.

The ones that bought using cash got their house and were happy they arrived. They could get out of the broken-down shack they were using, an enormous step up for them, even if it was only modular. But modular was better than a cargo container.

Kate emerged from the crawl space and looked at him. "That's the last pod. I guess we're good to go back to the Dyson Sphere."

"You just want to get in that pod again," Rick teased her.

"Bite your tongue, mister," Kate snapped. "I don't want to see that building again. Not ever. And when I do, it'll be too soon."

He wrapped his arms around her, and Kate raised her arms around his neck. "Just the answer I was looking for." Rick kissed her.

"I love you." Kate touched his lips. "Now that I can tell you, you better get used to hearing it."

"I'll live. And I love you too." Rick kissed her again.
