I laid my rifle to the side and looked back to my men. Most followed my suit; still others stared out at the plain, with weapons firmly in hand. Those were the veterans. I should have done the same, but I was just too damned tired from the day's fighting. I needed to think, as well.
That is the officer's job, and damn it, I should be doing it while I have the chance.
The air smelled heavily of cordite and sweat. Thankfully, there was very little else to tell by the nose. The wind blew away from the peak that we held. It carried the stench of rotting alien away with it. A part of me wondered if the aliens found it as repulsive as humans did. I could not imagine, however, how it could not.
My men were exhausted and sorely used. As I scanned their tired faces, I wished for the reinforcements that my commanders had been promised. We could hold for some time still, but soon some would break. The stress of the daily fighting would take its toll and see to that.
And behind us was nothing.
I turned back to the field below our hill. Bodies were scattered in random patches where human bullets and human shells tore at the heavily armoured bodies of the aliens. Mankind must have come as a shock to this enemy. The evidence of their invincibility was scattered across the explored region of space. The ruins of five space-faring species told the tale of these monsters.
Then they attacked Homo Sapiens. We had the weapons to hurt them that none of their other victims had ever had need to develop. We had the know how to use them. We had the will to use them. Unfortunately, we needed just a few more warm bodies. At least, we did in the colonies.
With a sigh I turned to the sky, and the pale, dark fire of our red sun. I wondered how my family fared back in the protected rear, beneath this very same hostile star. A star that my distant ancestors choose to come to settle. Involuntarily dragging me here as well, I thought in the instant before a black streak came into my vision.
In short moments, it turned into a ball that fell straight towards me with a whistling sound classically associated with a bomb. The world then stopped.
I woke up in a bed. A real bed, with clean blankets and white sheets. From nowhere, came the gentle music of a flute, a concerto of Mozart. I struggled upward and looked around me; I was in hospital.
A very good hospital of the sort that Ravenstar had not hosted in decades.
A girl walked in. She was young and smiling; I thought of a schoolgirl. She wore decadent fashion in her clothing. Bare midriff and long hair. Long legs, which were exposed and tanned. I had not seen the like since before the war.
"Welcome back, Captain Gamera," she said in a cheerful voice as she opened the window and let in the sun. The room brightened much more than it should have on Ravenstar. I blinked at the unaccustomed light.
"Where is this place?" A part of me recoiled from the abrupt rudeness of my question.
"Ravenstar, Captain." She looked at me from the window. "After the war, by some decades, however."
"What...?"
"Relax, sir." She came over and adjusted my pillows so I could sit up against them. She gently pushed me back into their soft support. "The war was won, but at a cost of many lives to a weapon that the enemy brought against us. It froze time within a small field. Men partially in that field died.
"Their bodies were deprived of necessary enzymes or blood would be blocked by the time dam. A few were lucky, because somehow their entire bodies were trapped in the field. We only recently discovered how to reverse the effect."
I stared at her. "And I am ..."
"An early experiment in releasing the soldiers from the field." She looked at me with a gleam in her eyes. "A success as well, I am happy to report."
"When will I see the doctor?" This made her smile. "I would like to leave as quickly as possible."
"You are seeing the doctor right now, Captain." She bowed her head. "It was my procedure which freed you."
"I thank you, Doctor"
"Oh yes you will, Captain." She moved closer to me and her lips grabbed at my ear lobe and gave it a tug. This, she followed with a whisper. "You will thank me in a way that will please me greatly. I am sure that it will please you as well."
Her hand went to my manhood and began to stroke at it as I involuntarily became hard. Her tongue began to lick around my ear. I shook with arousal and confusion as the silk of the sheets stimulated my penis and the excitement of the wet appendage on my ear began to excite my nervous system.
"Hmmm!" She purred when I became completely hard. "You are so big."
I choked on a laugh as I looked down at the tent that came to almost five and a half inches above my torso. She apparently felt that she needed to lay it on very thick. If it were to boost my ego, she was wasting her air; I had grown used to my short stature long ago. Still. she pulled back the sheets of my hospital bed with real enthusiasm.
She moved her mouth from my ear and looked down at my cock. She stared at it with glazed eyes Her expression left me embarrassed and I thought of the remembered snatches of pornography that I had seen while a soldier. I looked at my penis and superimposed pictures of similar scenes. Very little of it showed above her hand as she held it. Almost as much as some had shown with a woman holding a tool with two hands.
"So big," she said one more time as her mouth sank over my rod. It easily became lost when her face reached my pubic hair. She began to bob her pretty face up and down, in a slovenly given blowjob. Yet, my body responded to the action and my pulse grew quick. My eyes closed and I moaned.
It had been months on the front without sex of any sort. The feeling of any contact against my skin was enough to begin taking my body towards climax. The poor attempt at oral sex that this doctor whose name I did not know felt better than the best I had received from the most expensive of whores.
She pulled away. I was close, but not close enough for her to need to stop and prolong my pleasure. I had not even reached the point of teasing. She looked at me, however, and smiled.
"I'm I doing it right? I have never done this before."
"You will make me cum if you keep that up."
Her smile grew larger, "Well, then. I had better quit and go to the main event."
She climbed onto my bed and lifted her skirt. She wore nothing beneath it, but I barely had a chance to examine anything before she climbed on top of me. With a embarrassingly easy motion she sank onto my penis.
She had just begun her sloppy motions, when another woman entered the room. This one smiled and than began to laugh. "Doctor Wilson, the President has yet to get the news and you already start to collect your reward."
Doctor Wilson bit her lower lip and growled in pleasure, "I just take what is my right. He is mine. The President has agreed to that."
The second woman looked at me. She must have noted the confusion written on my expression, so she explained, "Has the Doctor explained anything about what had happened since the war? I thought not.
"Captain, you are one of maybe one hundred thousand men on a planet of eighteen million women. And most of those are boys. Another hundred thousand men are trapped in time fields just as you were. We need those resources if the colony is to survive. As a reward for finding a way to release them, Doctor Wilson was promised a harem of men, for her to breed with and to stud out to others.
"You are her first choice. I hope you enjoy her ownership." The visitor turned to my lover. "Finish with him quickly. The President will want to see you, before she proclaims a fete."
The woman turned and walked away as I shot a pleasureless load into Doctor Wilson.
