Still, I couldn't help but wonder what it was like. Would it really be like having sex with a monkey? As if I knew anything about that was like.
Chapter Nine
I laid in bed in that weird state where I was thankful for what I had but couldn't help but wonder what else was out there to experience. I didn't always feel shitty about thinking that way. Only when I was in a serious relationship. Back on Earth those were few and far between. Since meeting Nancy and Lin, things were different.
I really ought to include Shira and Nevenah in the mix, too. They were my third and fourth wives in a way. Regular lovers for sure, right up until I accepted the position on the Chargreuse to travel the galaxy. They claimed that they would wait for my visits, but I wasn't totally sure. There were thousands of people on their station, but gentle, masculine men were few and far between these days.
Oxeonn gave us a week off after every two full circles on our route. Due to effects of jump space that was five to six weeks for us, but two to three months for them. That was a long time to wait for a man that was already travelling with two of his wives.
Shira and I hadn't hit it off right away. In fact, it took a while for her to warm up to me sexually. Actually, she was kind of forced into it. Not by me! No, it wasn't like that. It was the Thesphilians that demanded that her and I have sex in front of them. Fucking alien perverts. We were kept alive purely for their entertainment. Completely expendable, if we hadn't gotten so popular among their people.
To prepare for the spectacle Shira decided to practice. If we didn't put on a great performance when the time came, it could have cost us our lives. So, I plowed her doggy-style in the tub while the others were in the same room. It couldn’t be helped. It was a one room cell. If I recall correctly, Shira came all over the place in one of the loudest orgasms that I’ve ever witnessed.
It wasn't terribly funny at the time but looking back I couldn't help but see the humor in the situation. The Thesphilians had been attacked by a human military force before our show could take place. It turned out that our rehearsal hadn't been necessary after all. Yet, the bond that it created between Shira and I might not have formed if we hadn't done the dirty that day.
When our fame finally wore off and we had to get real jobs, Shira and Nevenah were the first to land decent work. That was great. I was very proud of them. We continued to live together in the same apartment on the Tau Ceti station. It wasn't always easy living with four women, but the perks made it worth all the effort.
When I landed the job on the Chargreuse I was fortunate that I was able to take Lin and Nancy with me. Otherwise, I would have turned down the offer. I always hoped to eventually get positions for Shira and Nevenah, but it never happened. Then I got my own ship. I thought for sure they would jump at the opportunity to reunite full-time. But it didn't happen that way. They were enjoying their work and making new friends. The skills they had spent two years acquiring wouldn’t help them much on a freighter. Without a doubt it would have been a downward career move. For that reason, I didn’t push hard for them to join us.
That eventually led to this moment. Me lying in bed with two beautiful women fully dedicated to me. But I once had four. And my ego wouldn’t let me forget it.
There was plenty of room on the ship. There were five crew quarters in all. Portia didn't need a place to sleep so that gave us space for two more crew members. And each room except for mine was designed for double occupancy. Push comes to shove, we could house nine total, plus the android.
That brought my mind back to Peggy pussy. Monkey cunt, pardon my crude comparison.
It wasn't like they were so sexually attractive. For the most part, they weren't. It was their over-the-top friendly personalities that really got me. Their Hooters-slash-stripper charm.
Selfish. That is what I was. There was no other word for it. I already had a great life. And two fantastic wives. They didn't want another man. At least I didn't think that they did. I looked for clues at times and found none. Maybe I should be as dedicated to them as they were to me.
Luckily, I woke up the next morning with none of that stupid shit on my mind. My head had cleared, and I was ready for work.
Our outgoing cargo wouldn't arrive for two more days. There wasn't any additional business to conduct officially. I had no clandestine meetings to arrange. Yet, I wasn't just an employee for Oxeonn. I was a commercial ship’s captain. It was my job to improve relations and trade options at every port of call. A casual conversation this trip might lead to a serious discussion next trip. That in turn could progress to an important trade relationship that would earn me and the company tons of extra money. The more effort I put in now the better and quicker the payoff. Maybe in a few years I could buy my own ship.
Wandering the business district didn't sound exciting in the least to Lin and Nancy. They'd
