Chapter 14

To show that 99’ and Drozul’s females were on the ball. Tall Woman and Jade both had great new outfits with different examples of the patterns. Tall Woman had beads in a geometric pattern in her outfit. Jade had little green stones sewn to hers in a pattern of stars. I guess they were supposed to be jade stones. They were actually plastic. Jade’s outfit was made of light brown leather. Tall Woman’s was a light yellow.

Fuck me! Now, we are introducing dyed leather! Grrr.

“Izzets, please, no more dyed leather, dear. We are getting carried away with things. Let’s keep it simple. These are simple people after all.”

Izzets sent, “I’m Sorry. I will try to hold back some of the overly enthusiastic women up here. I must admit we are having more fun now than we ever have before.”

Hmm... “Aalea, are you busy?”

She sent, “No, I’ll be right there.”

She showed up, and I said, “Uh, what have you been up to?”

She said, “Nothing. I have nothing to do. I have been using a computer down below and playing Solitaire cards. The computer has dozens of games and things to learn.”

I said, “I have a job for you. You will be in the warehouse down below. Besides helping get things for us, I want you to be the gatekeeper there. Some of the ladies on Drozul’s ship are getting carried away with too many new things. Things that are strange to the local people below.”

I continued, “You will be the one to look at the new deliveries and turn back anything too modern. That includes variations like colored dye for leather and similar ideas. I want only simple things that look like traditional native items. Let’s keep to the 1800s of my Earth. Try to stick to that era.”

I continued, “You can take your PC with you. You can look up those older styles of things on the Internet as well as what the gals on Drozul’s ship sent. You’re my gatekeeper keeping us honest. Keep us closer to real native stuff. No glitzy things like diamonds or other precious stones, no gold or silver, nothing like that.”

She hugged me tight and said, “Thank you. I have been dying here with nothing to do. This ship is simple and does not need me here. I was worried you would figure that out and send me back to Drozul.”

I said, “And lose your snapping pussy? O hell no, sweet cheeks.” I hugged her to me.

Amber came into the room and asked, “Can we come down and visit occasionally? You seem to have forgotten us up here. Connie and Jenny want to visit once in a while, too.”

I said, “It sucks to be me. There is so much available loving and so little time. How about you gate keep that for me. Rotate the women through here. I intend to sleep up here every night.”

I sent, “Izzets, Can we get some air conditioning in the wikiup? Nothing out of sorts. Maybe keep it ten to fifteen degrees cooler than the outside temperature.”

She said, “We can do that. I just set the temperature as you wished.”

“Thanks.”

We had a late small meal before bed. I was rather pooped from all the fucking that day. I was woken by Amber sliding a leg over my morning wood. She pounced and was quick this morning. I got a cursory kiss and she was gone upstairs. I took a quick shower thanking my lucky stars I didn’t have to shave or brush my teeth. I went upstairs and the gals were all at the table.

Jade had whipped up multi-grain waffles with various sweet things to add to them. I went with butter. With the extra tasty grains and real butter, sweet stuff was not called for in my book. I enjoyed my buttered waffles and black coffee.

Tall Woman, Aalea, and I popped into the wikiup with Bubba, the wonder dog. You wonder why he’s always underfoot. There was a new red outline on the side of the wikiup. Inside there we found a small kitchen. Of note was a fridge packed with drinks, including tea, soda, and beer. There was also a K-cup machine with lots of different selections available. The kitchen was intended just for us.

There were more changes in the main area. The bed was narrower and a second small table was added. I needed a leak and went to the head. Lo and behold, I found that the doorway was extended, and a large double-size king bed was hiding in there.

Bubba was following me around and looking at everything.

I said, “Let’s take a walk, Bubba. Keep your eyes and ears peeled.”

He sent, “You got it, boss. Do I get to sniff any crotches?”

I said, “Sorry Bubba, that’s my job. You can sniff the guys.”

Now, Bubba has an AI so he doesn’t need a leash. No other dogs had leashes, although a few were tied to a rope. We started walking around. We walked around slowly looking at things. I saw a woman trying to cut some leather with a Stone Age knife. It was too dull. I had 99’ beam me in a small knife. It was in a sheath so it was safe. I pulled it from my new pants pocket and handed it to her.

“Try this, Little Lady.”

She said, “I am Little Flower. What is Lady?”

She looked at my hand and did not take it. I held it out to her again.

I said, “You need this; please take it. Your knife there is as dull as my teeth.”

She said, “I have nothing to trade you for it. I am a poor widow.”

I said to Bubba, “Go find Tall Woman and bring her to me.”

She watched him scamper off, “Your little dog understands words?”

I said, “He is smarter than a lot of people I know.”

She giggled. “You funny man. Tall Woman is yours?”

I said, “More like I am hers.”

She giggled again as Tall Woman walked up with Bubba running before her.

Tall Woman said, “I see you have met Little Flower.”

I said, “Yes, her knife does not work. I offered her this one. She turned me down. She said she has nothing to trade with. I know you do all my trading because you are wise and a pretty woman might take advantage of me.”

Both women giggled.

Tall Woman said, “Please Excuse Tom, he can be tricky, you should watch this one. I could use someone who knows how to make moccasins. We trade our special moccasins. If you want, you could make a pair for me and we will trade the knife for your work. Does this sound like something you would like?”

She looked back and forth between us. “I have a baby, you know.”

I said, “You can bring your baby.”

Tall Woman said, “Yes, bring it.”

I sent, “Izzets, we may need a bassinet, maybe.”

She sent, “About that, uhh, there are some there already. Aalea will have one out for you.”

I sent, “That was quick, thank you again.”

Little Flower ducked into her wikiup and came out with a tiny baby. It was wrapped in ragged-looking leather.

We headed to our wikiup, and I could tell Little Flower was impressed by the outsides of our wikiup. It had fake pieces of leather on it with black painted native-looking scenes.

We went in, and Tall Woman took her to a table and got her set up. They worked on the first moccasin when the baby started to fuss.

Without thinking about it Little Flower pulled a boob out and fed a nipple to the baby. She saw me watching and blushed.

Tall Woman said, “Pay him no mind. He has never seen a woman nurse before. He probably wonders what it tastes like.”

Actually, I knew that my wives back on Earth 23 had all nursed. I had helped myself several times to their milk.

Izzets sent, “Oh my, Little Flower got wet from you watching her. According to the street, her husband has been dead for three months. None of the local men want a wife with a baby. She also has bad luck because her husband died; she has been struggling. She may also be very horny.”

I sent, “The horny thought had already crossed my mind as soon as you said she was wet.”

I got up and walked over to her and the baby. Tall Woman smiled broadly and watched me.

I reached out slowly and touched the baby’s cheek. It did nothing except continue to suckle.

I leaned down and kissed Little Flower on the lips wetly. I touched her arm.

I asked, “Can I taste the other one?”

In answer, she pulled the other side of her top down, and I got on my knees and drew in a taste. It was sweet. Her legs had fallen apart. The air was filled with her aroma, the poor girl. She couldn’t be as old as Tall Woman.

I kissed her as she continued to nurse the baby. Her eyes were wide looking at me.

I sent, “Tall Woman, should we help her?”

She said, “I don’t know. If we get close to her, other men will avoid her even more. I am sure someone is bringing her a rabbit or fish. We should watch and make sure that someone keeps helping her. I think there is more to her story.”
