“I’m on 989,” he confessed. “Damn wizard has me stumped.”

“Me too,” Gwyn grinned, pleased to talk about the game with a fellow gamer. “I’ve tried spells, weapons, shields and still I die.”

“Are you ready to go,” he asked as he leaned in to brush her lips. “We can talk about strategy on the way.”

“Yes,” she said. “I remembered my shoes.”

“Good thing,” Ulrik said. He stood as she rose from the chair. “How tall are those heels?”

“Six inches,” she said wobbling a little on the laser thin heels.

“Where are your other shoes,” he asked. “Those look uncomfortable.”

“If I’m going out with you, I have to look…” she sighed as his lips stopped her words.

“Are you comfortable,” he demanded.

“Not really,” she said. “I don’t want you embarrassed by me.”

“Never,” he said. “Take them off.”

He moved through to the bedroom, found the comfortable shoes she wore while she traveled and brought them back. She hadn’t removed the shoes. He knelt, released the auto closure on the shoe which made it form to her foot. She wobbled precariously grabbing his shoulder to steady herself. “Step out,” he said. When she took her foot out of the tall narrow shoes, her feet were marked where the straps tightened to keep her feet attached. He growled seeing her feet red and sore. “You will not wear these again,” he demanded.

“While I’m with you,” she said.

“Ever,” he said. He rose, rubbed his hands along her body. He scowled at the clothes.

“You said pants were preferred,” she said thinking he didn’t like what she wore. “I can change.”

“I want you naked,” he growled. “Your clothes are fine. I like you better naked.”

“Do you want me to go naked through the corridors,” she asked fearful he might.

“No,” he said. “It’s my biology again. I want to be inside you, pleasuring you.”

“I want you inside me,” she admitted. “I had an exam before I left, can’t they access it?”

“Damn regs,” he growled. “Let’s go before I forget why you’re dressed and rip your clothes off.”

“Do you plan to do that a lot,” she asked slightly worried about the amount of clothes she brought.

“This is why you’ll be naked,” he said leading her through his ready room and into the corridor.

“Will you tell me where things are,” she asked as he walked her through the corridors.

“Each level has a number,” he said pointing to the intersection where letters and numbers displayed on the wall. “There are different sections like engineering, healing center, hydroponics, supplies…”

“Command,” she asked as they turned down a corridor.

“Yes, we’re in command section on level forty,” he said. “There are two levels above us. Those are quarters mostly but some maintenance.”

“What do the different colors mean,” she asked.

“Your id gives you access to different areas,” he said. He showed her his id which displayed all the colors.

“So my id, which I don’t have, will indicate which areas I’m allowed to be in,” Gwyn said. “What happens if I get lost and go into a section I’m not allowed?”

“Alarms go off, security gets called,” Ulrik said. As people passed them, they greeted the captain. When Gwyn smiled at them, he scowled.
