The fireplace was warm and cozy. Marcia stretched her legs on the loveseat, casually gazing at the sparkling fire that brought rays of heat on her body. It felt so comfortable. The loveseat's soft cushions caressed her back as she lay peacefully. If only she had someone to share this moment with. Before she came here, Marcia had been revoltingly bored. Now, the situation was anything but boring. Her eyes glimpsed at the sparkling yellow flames sending rays of warmth on the expensive carpet. Behind her, she heard footsteps. She twisted her head and saw a man entering the room. She smiled at him. "Hello, Marcia," said the man. Marcia smiled, playing her part of the game. "Who are you? How do you know my name?" "I know all I command," said the man. "I especially know you, Marcia." "What is your name?" said Marcia, flirtingly. "You will call me The Commander." The Commander walked to the fireplace and put his hands in front of his robe. "It is a lovely evening, isn't it? A beautiful woman like you deserve a beautiful night. Do you like the fire?" "I love it," said Marcia. The Commander twisted around. His eyes connected with Marcia's. "My family built it long ago, before the war began. One of many places where I call home. It is part of my very soul. It can be yours if you do what I want. If... you follow my command... once more." "How many men have you commanded, commander?" said Marcia. The Commander smiled. "Too many. For many years, I've devoted my life to my entire race -- our race. I've held so much burden. I've dedicated so much so that one day humanity's children can breathe Earth's air and know that they are safe. But all this time, there has always been something missing. You see, Marcia, I long for a woman's touch, someone to rekindle the flames of lost passion that I have so long neglected. See, Marcia -- I, too, can be vulnerable." Marcia looked at him. "Why me??" "Because I love you. I have always loved you. You have always been in my thoughts ever since I set foot in the DNA modification chamber. I became what I am to protect you, Marcia. I have been waiting for you for too long." The Commander walked closer and began taking off his robe. Marcia could feel his heat... his presence... which stood between her and the fire. It was as if his presence, his fire, was stronger than anything she felt before. "What do you want?" Marcia smiled. "You know what I want, my love," stated The Commander. At this point, Marcia had a decision to make. Would she accept his desire? The following thoughts occurred in her head, some of which was unconscious: She thought about him. She knew the following facts. He was a man of integrity, of abundance. He was an alpha male. Not only that, but he kept his word, and he loved her. He desired her and only her. He was someone she could open her heart to, someone she could spend a lifetime with. What's there not to like? She blinked. She realized she had made that decision a long time ago. There was no decision to make. [i]Hot![/i] Marcia smiled. "Take off your robe." He smiled as well. He took off his robes, revealing a rather... sizeable endowment. Marcia licked her lips. His body was perfect. He had great abs, a lean body, a nice tan, and his face was so familiar, yet so new. Marcia reciprocated by quickly unbuttoning her shirt, letting her breasts free for the Commander to see. The Commander smiled, again. He took her naked breasts as a sign to escalate the encounter. He came close and kissed her. His hands caressed her body, sending waves of pleasure through her. His endowment rubbed against her crotch, teasing her. "Take it off," said Marcia. The Commander obeyed, pulling her panties off so that her wetness could be caressed. "Lick it," said Marcia. The Commander knelt, while Marcia spread her legs. His tongue explored her insides until she could no longer hold her anticipation in. "Put it in me! Put it in me!" exclaimed Marcia. The Commander started kissing her stomach, then her breasts, then her neck, then finally her mouth. Meanwhile, he entered her. "Oh!!!" said Marcia. "Ohh! Keep humping!" For the next minute, all she felt were all those manly muscles in front of her.... humping her in ecstasy. She came closer... closer... "Ooooh! Oohhhhhhh!" BATTERY LOW. COMMENCING AUTOSHUTDOWN, said big blaring words hovering in front of her. The scene ended. Everything disappeared. The fireplace dissolved like a dream. The man vanished and, suddenly, she realized that she was still in her bunk in the marine barracks in the starship [i]USS Bronzebeard[/i]. "Whaaa?" whispered Marcia. The neural interface headset she was wearing felt heavy on her head. One of the lights were on. "Battery at 1%" the light said. "Do you want to save the file?" "Damn it!" she said. [i]Next time I should charge the battery to full before I play another dating sim! I was getting to the best part![/i]
