Joshua had just stepped onto the bridge of the Runner, satisfied with the nights work, when Peenk stormed out of her cabin. "Stop right there!" she shouted. "We need to talk." Joshua turned to the angry blonde and cocked his right eyebrow. "Don't raise that eyebrow at me." She fumed. "Stefan told me what happened at that whorehouse!" "He told you?" Kirk asked angrily. "Well, he tried to. But I refused to listen. I told him I knew what happened when Kaleena came aboard with a Joshua Kirk satisfied look on her face. He just smiled and walked away. It was like he was pleased that you'd screwed his daughter." "No, he probably found your jumping to conclusions funny." He said. "Are you saying the two of you didn't have sex?" Peenk asked with her fists on her hips. "Oh, we had baby makin' sex, alright!" Peenk jumped forward and grabbed Joshua's arm, her nose almost touching his. "You had what?" "What you would call wild, uninhibited sex, my people call baby makin' sex." He told her slowly. "Ok then. Just as long as you were not actually making a baby." She then stepped back. "Now tell me how I'm jumping to conclusions." "By thinking that the two of us had any control over what happened." Peenk stared at him for a moment. "Did Palpatine come back from the dead and use the Dark Side to make the two of you have sex?" "Good one!" Joshua said. "But no. It was the Creators who did. Kaleena and her mother Karyn are Soldiers." Peenk stood in shocked silence before nodding. "That would explain everything about the two of them." She said. "So Karyn's parents came from the Moscow?" "At least one. Pok had a doctor on his team who was a Soldier. His name was Kevin Atherton. I'm thinking he was Kaleena's grandfather." "So you fell victim to her Pheromones." Peenk said with a laugh. "How could you not notice them?" "Because I wasn't expecting them. The only females from my people in this galaxy that I know of are Dr Denise Williamson, Dani Marx and Amy Wu. And Ami's pheromones will not affect me. "Why not." "She's my cousin." Joshua said with a small smile. "Well." The beautiful blonde said pointing at Joshua. "you better have enjoyed Kaleena, because you've been cut off from all other women." Joshua's chest tightened. "Are you saying you're pressing your rights of ownership over me?" He asked her. "If that's how you want to put it, then yes! I own you. I own that short distance from the top of your head, to the bottoms of your feet. And everything in between!" Peenk said as she grabbed his crotch. "Now go take your last shower in the Rat's Nest. I've already had your clothes moved into our cabin. What few there are anyway. When you're done, I'll have the droids put Gisoo and Syndee's stuff in there. And I have a little something special for you in our cabin also." Joshua's left brow shot skyward. "The Force tells me I'm going to like this little something special." Correl Peenk Montal gave him a little smile. "You should always trust the Force. Now move it!" A half hour later, Joshua entered the main cabin. Peenk lay naked on the couch with a grin on her face, pointing a finger at a brass pole that ran from the floor to the ceiling. "Dance for me cabin boy!" She said, snatching off the towel he wore with the Force. Joshua snapped to attention. "Aye Captain! Computer, give me some music. Stalker Goes To Babylon by the Pillows." With a smile, Joshua Kirk grabbed the pole with both hands and began to dance. Tomorrow: the fate of Riss Kandu.
