Chapter Eight

The next few weeks settled into a routine of sorts. Like the rest of his crew, Phahlen spent ten hours on duty and ten hours off. Permanently on call, occasionally his down time would be interrupted and he would need to return to the bridge to deal with one minor crisis or another, but for the most part Baren handled everything and Phahlen was able to spend his off duty time in his quarters. He required little sleep, a couple of hours at most, often less. This was a characteristic Caria had learned was common among his race, and it meant that Phahlen had plenty of spare time to spend with her. For those hours Caria tended to find herself naked and tied to his bed, a position she discovered was rather to her liking.

Memories of Petros had receded to the extent that she seriously struggled to remember what she had ever seen in her former lover. Certainly she struggled to recall why she’d allowed Petros to uproot her from her home and drag her across several galaxies. He had never aroused or satisfied her the way Phahlen did, though at the time she had not appreciated that there could be so much more. She had always known at some level that he had never treated her well, though she refused to acknowledge that unpalatable truth. What would have been the point? She’d had nowhere else to go.

In contrast, although Phahlen remained stern and unyielding as far as allowing her greater freedom was concerned, he was otherwise kind to her. She had enjoyed more orgasms in the weeks spent in his quarters than she had experienced throughout her entire relationship with Petros. He was demanding and dominant, he expected her obedience, and he made it clear she had no choice but to surrender to him. He would tolerate no less. At the same time though, Phahlen was an inventive and generous lover, and Caria knew she would have submitted to him willingly if he’d only asked her. He didn’t ask though. Phahlen commanded and he took.

He could be sensitive and caring too. Phahlen realised Caria was eating the same meal over and over and questioned her about that. When she explained her difficulties with the housekeeping station, he programmed several of her favourites in for her and instructed Private East to do the same. Her eating repertoire was much expanded. Phahlen encouraged her to download literature and holovids and to enjoy her enforced leisure time. He sent Private East to keep her company as often as possible, so although she remained a prisoner, Caria was at least comfortable.

She was not, however, content. The unquestioned assumption that she was guilty and to be punished for the crimes of others rankled more and more.

She received a reply from her parents, a message of love, hope, and encouragement that caused her to weep for hours. Her sexual awakening might consume her in the hours spent with Phahlen, but for the rest of the time she was miserable and homesick.
