Claudia waved a hand toward the curtained area. The first curtain had been retracted and a table was being quickly set by several beings that were obviously of Claudia’s race. “I’m having my servants set the dining table for lunch, if you’d care to join me, Lexx.” Lexx glanced at Chel, then nodded, “I would [...]
Stealth, Zeta and Claudia’s dice, Illo were given something to eat in an adjoining room while their masters took their time in the dining room. The trio finished their own meals quickly, except for Zeta, who took his time with the bone that had been part of his. Illo hopped across the room to push [...]
“I was fortunate. Four.” Illo stated, “My mistress hasn’t had the time to go down to actually play, so I’m also the only one here.” “I wish I was the only one.” Stealth muttered. “I’m rather lonely.” Illo glanced at the window wall. “This is a huge ship and Claudia is very busy a good [...]
The three went quiet as they heard the sounds of chairs being scooted around and dishes clinking from cleanup. Claudia, Lexx and Chel stepped into the room. Lexx looked like a chained animal, withdrawn and slouching as he shuffled in. “Illo, would you mind giving Chel a tour of the ship?” Claudia inquired of her [...]
Lexx really wished that Chel hadn’t left. The moment she and the dice were out of sight, Claudia turned to him, smiling in such a way that Lexx almost considered running after them. The only thing keeping him from running was the fact that Claudia would not leave him alone no matter what he did [...]
“I insist, Lexx. You can take off your cloak.” Claudia hovered around Lexx, uncomfortably close, sliding one arm around his neck. He stood completely still, frozen in place. “I’m sure it’s starting to get too warm.” That was stating the obvious. “I like wearing it, Claudia.” Lexx fidgeted and tried to squirm out of Claudia’s [...]
Meanwhile, Illo hopped in front of Chel, Zeta and Stealth, leading them down the main perimeter hall. From here, the moon was visible like it couldn’t be seen from Earth. Chel marveled at the high glass walls and long almost transparent curtains that hung over portions of it. “Wow!” She exclaimed, overtaken by the experience. [...]
“I feel kinda bad leaving Lexx alone with Claudia.” Chel admitted to Stealth. “Chel, don’t worry about Lexx,” Stealth purred without any note of concern, “He can take care of himself.” Lexx backed slowly away from Claudia, not about to head in the direction of her room. He’d barely managed to slip out of her [...]
Claudia and Lexx crashed to the floor. For the briefest of moments, Lexx thought he might actually be able to get away, but he was mistaken. Claudia pinned him easily and prevented him from getting to his feet, or even off his back. He would need to change his tactics if he was going to [...]
“Claudia, .. Please! Let me go, NOW!” Lexx rolled over, grimacing. “No.” Claudia smiled smugly, “I finally got you on my ship and you aren’t going anywhere!” Lexx went rigid in fear. He swallowed hard, attempting to think his way out of this. Then, it struck him. The perfect escape. “Ok! Ok! But I have [...]
