Act-3B: "Life on a Starship never gets old..."

Alex awoke first to find that he and Cygna had a warm blanket laid over them, and his head was on a pillow. Cygna lay next to him, purring very softly. Karen was asleep in a chair facing them. Alex rose, sliding his still firm member out of Cygna's sex, as she murphed something about not leaving. She quickly fell back to sleep, pulling a pillow close to her in a tight hug. Karen awoke as Alex made for the fresher/shower.

"So, what's she like?" Karen asked, as she looked at her brother. He was just as handsome as he had been yesterday, and Karen was blushing brightly.

"Fantastic!" Alex said with a smile. Karen smiled and turned away as he stood. He was naked of course, and she didn't peak, at least she didn't let him see her peak. She sighed longingly as he made for the bathroom.

"Be right back!" Alex told her, loud enough that it woke Cygna. She sat up blearily, and immediately knelt.

"Master?" She asked, looking at Alex, as he walked into the fresher.

"In a minute Cygna."

"Yes Master."

As Alex went into the fresher, Karen turned to Cygna, who had lain back down on the floor.

"So, what do YOU think of his prowess under the covers?" She asked Cygna, as she lay down next to her.

"He is very skilled as a lover Mistress. He has a lot of experience for being so young." Cygna said, as she rolled over to look at Karen.

"Really?" Karen said, all dreamy like.

"You have been with him?" Cygna asked, the thought of that coupling confusing what she thought she knew about human culture.

"Huh? Oh! I wish. I mean, we aren't genetically related, but I'm working on it. Slowly chipping away at his resolve. I want to share myself with him, but he has this knight-like resolve to treat me like his kid sister forever." She said, gathering her knees to her chest. Cygna nodded.

"Oh, I see." Cygna said with a sigh of disappointment.

"What is it Cygna?"

"On Marrok, it is normal and accepted for the father to train those daughters he has that are going into the collar." Cygna said, rather

matter-of-factly. Karen gasped.

"You mean, incest is ALLOWED on Marrok?" She seemed happy by this revelation.

"Yes Mistress, though we don't have that word in our culture, since we never viewed it as a taboo, unlike humans." Cygna said, looking at Karen, trying to read her emotions. She had sensed that this hadn't upset Karen, and she wasn't too far off the mark.

"That's wild! But, what if one of these daughters gets pregnant?" Karen asked, wonder filling her soft voice.

"It has happened, but again, we don't have the same problems humans have. Fathers and daughters have mated in the past, and had beautiful, healthy and exceptional offspring. We simply don't have the genetic limits that you humans have. In some circles on Marrok, humans are considered very inferior to us. In some ways I agree." Cygna said, not bothering to call Karen 'Mistress' as she had earlier. Karen immediately picked up on Cygna's tone.

"Aren't you forgetting your place, slave girl?" Karen said, snidely, as Cygna continued to look at her. Cygna rose, and walked over to a cabinet in the corner, and removed a small cube and a thin steel band. Smiling to Karen, she moved back over to where she had been seated, and knelt, waiting for Alex.

"Well?!" Karen demanded, as Alex walked out of the bathroom finally, a towel wrapped around his waist.

"Alex? Cygna just told me the most shocking news!" Karen began, as Alex moved up next to Cygna, and knelt behind her, rubbing her shoulders.
