Jack suddenly scooped Aaros into his arms right from the deck of the skimmer with a bark of wild laughter. She bleated in fright as she released the controls. The skimmer accelerated then suddenly veered off the trail and the battery blew explosively. The lower half of the skimmer’s base shot downwards to shatter against the ground while the foot platform and controls were launched skywards. Jack and Aaros watched the section of the skimmer that would have carried Aaros up into the sky fly in a fatal ballistic arc. Jack slowed and stopped as the foot platform crashed down onto the path up ahead. He noticed Aaros was staring at him in shock.
He gently set her down on her hooves but she was a little wobbly so he kept a hold on her arm.
“I’m terribly sorry. I don’t know what came over me there when I was chasing you,” Jack said, embarrassed. “Are skimmers supposed to explode like that?”
“They aren’t supposed to go that fast for that long. That said it should have just run out of power not explode,” she answered.
A Ministry of Security van landed beside them on the path. The two agents jumped out of the side door. “What happened?”
“My skimmer’s battery exploded. Luckily Ambassador Danner collected me from it seconds before it did,” Aaros explained. Jack looked at her as that story skipped over the part about how he was chasing her and caught her.
“What happened to you two?” Aaros asked, changing the subject.
The two agents looked frustrated. “Our skimmers ran out of power and we couldn’t keep up. We called headquarters and they dispatched the van to collect us and follow you. Looks like your run is over.” One of the agents remarked.
“But I still need to run back!” Jack barked.
“Judge Aaros doesn’t have a skimmer and you mustn’t be separated,” the agent remarked.
Aaros nodded and Jack’s shoulders slumped. He followed her into the van as the agents collected the bits of her skimmer to find out why it exploded. Once everyone and everything was in the van they flew back to his apartment in silence.
Jack and Aaros went up to his apartment while the agent waited downstairs. Once inside Jack turned to her. “Thank you for not mentioning how I was chasing you. I can’t really explain why I was doing that. It just felt… instinctual.”
“Please try to control your instincts,” she admonished.
He nodded. “I’m going to take a shower.” She made to follow him and he abruptly stopped. “You know this makes no sense. How could there be a law to keep a male from having sex yet a female judge is assigned to follow him so closely!” he said in frustration.
“At the time this law was written and was practiced our society had male judges and you would have been assigned one. Back then males took a greater role in our society and were represented to some extent in almost every occupation but there was a change in the ratio of males to females and society changed in reaction. Males just stopped taking on these roles,” Aaros explained.
“What was the ratio before the change?” he asked.
“I believe it was 8 to 1 and it moved to 10 to 1 over a few generations. There was some debate over the cause but the most popular theory was that it was due to a temporary change in solar radiation that altered the genetics of a generation causing fewer male births. That’s not really my field so I’m not sure if I got that right,” she smiled.
Jack proceeded into the bedroom and grabbed some tighter briefs. He needed more support with his damn constant erection.
He did his best to put Aaros’ presence out of his mind and just got ready for work. He dropped his workout clothes into the hamper and climbed into the shower. He spotted her sitting on the toilet lid again and he just got the water running. A few minutes later he was clean. He skipped relieving his erection as it hadn’t really helped much the day before.
“You are unable to release that pressure, aren’t you,” she said as he passed by, tenting his tight underwear.
“I don’t want to talk about that with you, please,” he said.
“I need to shower as well. You need to stay in here,” she insisted.
Jack reached into the linen closet and brought out one of his larger towels he kept on hand for the ladies who stayed overnight. With their fur, it took more towel to dry themselves. He handed it to Aaros who had already disrobed. He sat on the toilet and looked out the bathroom door. He did his best not to imagine her naked wet body in the shower but by the time the water shut off his cock was like iron and his balls ached. He had to get control over his sex drive. Mind over matter, DAMMIT!
When she was ready they entered the bedroom and Jack got dressed. He led her to the kitchen where he made them both breakfast. He cleaned up afterwards and they headed downstairs. They walked to the Trade Commission building as he had his morning appointments to cover, with the short interruption at 10AM. He’d have to bump a few presentations around that 10AM nuisance.
The agents once more remained outside while they went up to the office. The Judge insisted on entering the office first but he had to stand at her back. When the all-white female stood in the entrance of the office activity suddenly stopped. She had their full attention. They didn’t initially notice Jack standing behind her. Jack noticed that Leffera’s desk was unoccupied. He worried about that.
“I am Judge Aaros. I was appointed by the Ministry of Justice to ensure Earth Trade Representative Jack Danner abides by the rules of the legally filed and issued Challenge against him. If he defaults on this the penalty is permanent banishment from Altaria and all Altarian worlds. I trust we will have your full support in ensuring Jack Danner does NOT default!” she said firmly looking each of them in the eye.
Mella stepped forward. “What is the Challenge and who filed it?” she said fiercely. Jack smiled.
“As Jack has been named Queen’s Consort, a group of 245 males calling themselves ‘The Enlightened Consortium of Male Altarians’ or TECOMA for short, claim he is unworthy of the title and has filed a Challenge of Unarmed Combat against Jack Danner.”
The office erupted into laughter.
Aaros held up her hands. “Yes, we are aware that no Altarian males could possibly defeat Jack in unarmed combat. However, the Challenge has been filed in such a way that there will only be one challenger per day and there are 244 challengers left to go. An Abstinence Clause has been invoked which means no sexual relations until the Challenge concludes.”
Now the office erupted in cries of dismay.
Jack held up his hands to get the staff to be quiet. “Please calm down. I’m fine. We will get through this. The Queen is looking into a solution to this as well. In the meantime it’s business as usual. Where is Leffera?”
“She’s taking some vacation days,” Mella said.
“Has someone updated my calendar for this morning?” he asked.
“I did. You have a full schedule this morning,” Kaluna replied with a sad expression. Then she noticed Jack was showing against the front of his pants quite a bit. Her eyes went wide then had a desperate look as she hustled over to Aaros. “Um, is oral sex included in the forbidden sex?” she whispered to the Judge.
“Oral sex?” Aaros turned to Jack. “Oral sex. Is that like ‘phone sex’?”
Kaluna’s expression brightened as she saw the Judge wasn’t aware of her favorite kind of sex. “Jack, may I show her?”
“No Kaluna, sorry.” Jack turned to the judge. “Phone sex as I described it last night involves two people in different locations pleasuring themselves while they watch and speak to each other. Oral sex needs both participants to be in the same location and involves using your mouth on your partner’s external sexual organs.”
“You do that?!?!” Aaros gasped looking at Jack.
“Incredibly well!” Mella sighed from Aaros’ side.
“And females do it in return for me,” Jack explained with a blush.
“Yes, that would be one of the forbidden sex activities,” the Judge stated, her eyes still on Jack with an odd look in them.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
Kaluna’s sad expression came back.
“I have my next ‘battle’ at 10AM so I will need the appointments from that point on moved 30 minutes later. Can you arrange that please?” he asked Kaluna, trying to ignore her despair. He turned to the group which hadn’t stopped looking at him.
“Dharma!” he gestured for the young runner who was a recent addition to the office. She rushed up to his side and looked up at him with hero worship in her eyes. Her fur was an amazing blend of chocolate and caramel coloration and Jack thought she looked delicious but he did his best to push those thoughts aside.
Jack quickly tapped out a letter of introduction on his device and sent it to a nearby hardcopy machine. He snatched it out of the tray, folded it over, and activated the sheet’s official Trade Commission seal.
“I have a very important mission for you. I need you to go to Earth and pick up an order I made at a tailor shop called Fitzhenry’s. Speak with the proprietor. His name is Walter Fitzhenry. Give him this note. Tell them I also left my hoodie in their shop. They will know what that means. The order is paid for so you just need to get it and go. Contact the Ministry of Security before you head over to the Gate Terminal and tell them you need to visit the shop I went to yesterday and they are to assign you security personnel. Earth is having some issues with me and I want you to be safe. They will get you through the right Gate, to the right city, to the right shop, and back.”
She nodded looking up at him then rushed off with the letter in her hand to make the call.
“Alright people! Let’s get moving!” he said clapping his hands to break their paralysis. They finally got back to their tasks with only the occasional mournful looks in his direction.
Mella remained at their side. “You need your hair braided,” she said.
Aaros saw the small female’s eyes were locked on the bulge in Jack’s pants. “I will do it,” she said taking the small strip of ribbon from Mella’s fingers.
Jack walked into his office and sat in his chair. Aaros walked behind him and pulled his hair free of the chair. She quickly and efficiently braided his hair and used the ribbon to tie the end.
