—Sorry it's been so long, everyone. Work and other obligations got in the way. Here's Part 1 and Part 2
Court and her boyfriend Steve are sitting at the table in the main room the next morning when Jess and Ashley walk in. Usually Jordan comes in with them so Steve asks where she is.
"Not sure," Ashley says, "Neither of us heard her come back to the room after she left to take a shower."
Brittany and Peter walk in shortly after this. Her hair is wet from a shower.
"Did you see Jordan?" Jess asks.
"No. Why?" Britt responds.
"We haven't seen her since last night."
"That’s strange," Peter says.
"Attention, crew," the Captain says suddenly walking in. "There's been an accident."
They all look at him expectantly. "It would seem that after Jordan left to take a shower last night the elevator malfunctioned taking her to the lower floor. It is unclear what may have happened to her but since she is no longer in the elevator and not with us it can only be assumed the creature below took her."
"That doesn't make any sense," Britt says, "I mean, pardon me, sir, but I was just in that elevator and nothing seemed wrong."
"You are quite right, Brittany. I was just in the elevator too so I don't really know what happened. There must have been some sort of glitch."
"Or you murdered her…" Jess says under her breath.
"Excuse me?" the Captain says looking at her.
"I said you murdered her!" Jess yells.
"I what? How dare you accuse me-"
"What other explanation is there!? I bet you tried to make her do what you made me do and when she refused you gave her over to that thing!"
"I have no idea what you are talking about!" Captain yells, now clearly angered.
Before Jess can respond an alarm sounds. Everyone jumps up from the table and runs to their stations. Looking down at his monitor Steve announces that there is an unknown ship coming in from behind them. "Have you ever seen a ship like that before?" he asks Court.
She shakes her head. "Captain, what would you like us to do?"
Everyone turns toward him. "I don't recognize the ship type either. Court and Steve I want you to go check on our weapon supplies and have them ready in the event of an attack. Britt, Peter and Ashley stay here and monitor the other ship. Jess…you need to cool off. For now I want you to go back to your bunk. I’m going back to my office to set up a comm line with the ship." With their orders stated they all obey.
"I don't know what to think," Britt says after Steve, Court, Jess and Captain leave.
"The elevator didn't seem to be malfunctioning did it?" Peter asks.
"Not that I could tell. I mean, sure maybe it was a glitch like the Captain said but I don’t know."
"Hmm…”
“What do you think Jess meant about him trying to make Jordan do what he did to her?" Ashley asks the two of them. They both say they aren’t sure.
“Me either. I don’t like it though. I’m going to go check on her.”
Entering their room Ashley finds Jess wrapping a towel around herself. “Going to take a shower?” she asks.
Jess waits a moment before saying, "Yea… I just…I need to clear my head. I’m hoping the steam will help. What are you doing here?”
Ashley crosses the room and puts her hands on Jess’s shoulders. “Peter, Britt and I were talking. We wanted to make sure that you were ok. You said something about what Captain made you do and it having something to do with Jordan. What did you mean?” When Jess doesn’t reply right away Ashley continues, “You don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to.”
“No… Someone needs to know.”
Jess tells her about the blackmail. All Ashley can do is look at her friend with a mix of shock and sadness. “What a creep,” she says.
“I know. But what choice did I have?”
“No, you’re right. I mean, I would have done the same thing if I were in your position.”
“You would?”
“Yea. I mean, I wouldn’t like it, of course, but I’d do it.”
“Well obviously Jordan didn’t.”
Ashley hears the sadness in her voice and says, “Hey. We don’t know what happened. All we know is that-“
“We need to get rid of the fucking asshole that killed my sister,” Jess finishes.
“No… What we know is-“
“Well even if he didn’t kill her, he deserves to die for what he did to me.” Jess walks over to her dresser to pull out a new pair of clothes deciding to forgo the shower.
“Wait,” Ashley says. “I agree with you that we need to get rid of him but… we need to wait.”
Jess turns on her suddenly, “Why? Why should we wait?”
“Because we don’t know what’s going on with this other ship. If anything, we need Captain for that. Let’s keep him around until this is all over then we can tell the others and get a proper mutiny going. For right now, just do what you were going to do and take a shower.” She watches as Jess thinks it over before she finally agrees. “Alright, good. Now, if you don’t mind, I’m going to come with you because I need a shower too.”
A few minutes later Ashley cries out in shock. “Damn it! I hate these stupid pipes!” she yells while shutting her water off.
“It run cold again?” Jess asks from an adjacent shower stall.
“Yea. Ugh, and I was just starting to get rinsed off.” She steps out of her shower and is about to head for a new one when she gets an idea. A smile spreads across her face as she makes her way toward Jess’s stall. Silently opening the curtain she looks in on her friend who has her eyes closed as she runs her hands through her hair. Ashley had only recently come to the conclusion that she was attracted to other women. She’d always wanted to see what Jess looked like under that jumpsuit… and now, watching the water run down her slender frame was more than enough to get her excited.
“Well my shower is running fine,” Jess says her eyes still closed. “Maybe try another one and see if-“
“Maybe I’ll just join you then,” Ashley interrupts her coyly as she steps under the water. She wraps her arms around Jess and pulls her close. Jess opens her eyes, startled. She protests and tries to break free by backing up against the wall.
“Ash! What the hell are you do-“ Her words are cut off as Ashley presses their lips together. She resists for half a moment but then gives in and kisses her back knowing full well that she wants this too.
Ashley breaks the kiss, smiles and says, “I knew it. I knew you were into other girls.”
“I’m not into other girls…I’m just curious. That’s all.”
“Uh huh,” Ashley says not fully believing her. “If that’s really the case then let me satisfy your curiosity.” She kisses her again but this time she slips her tongue into her mouth. Jess allows it and she rolls her tongue around Ashley’s. At the same time her left hand almost involuntarily moves down from Ashley’s shoulder and cups her breast. Ashley smiles and begins to kiss along Jess’s neck.
Reaching her collarbone, Ashley pulls away and looks down at Jess’s breasts. She fondles them a bit before lowering her mouth over each one so that she can suck on her nipples. Jess tilts her head back and lets out a soft gasp.
After a couple of moments Ashley returns and they begin making out once again. Their hands move everywhere. One moment they are groping at each other’s chests, the next they are holding each other’s heads, then they are wrapped tightly together as their passion grows. Eventually Ashley starts to guide Jess’s hand downward between their bodies. Together, they turn toward each other.
Running a finger on the very edge of the most sensitive part of Jess’s body, Ashley says, “May I?”
Jess trembles with anticipation as she nods slowly, smiling. When Ashley slips her finger inside, Jess lets out a moan and her own fingers move inside her new lover. Several minutes later the two women moan into each other’s mouths as slide down to the ground while reaching deeper inside than ever before and start to orgasm.
When they are finished they stand up and get out of the shower. Wrapping towels around themselves Jess says, “That was better than I expected. Thank you.”
“Any-“
Ashley is interrupted as Captain comes over the PA system: “Attention all crew. I have spoken with the foreign ship. They will be moving along shortly. I am going down to the airlock in order to allow them to dock with us briefly. They need some of our supplies. Stay at your posts and I will take care of it. After that I will be in my office. Captain out.”
Turning to Jess, Ashley says, “I think we just got our window of opportunity to take out that piece of shit…”
