The hivemind is conquering for me?

After massaging Kat and her paying for my services, I watched her get tucked in with a smile on my face. Almost immediately after her face hit the pillow, she fell asleep. As I left the room and began walking down the Opulence’s corridors, I realised something.

‘Why am I going to their room? I am not even in the mood right now?’ I thought before I realised I was just following the plan Kathrine laid out an hour ago. Around halfway to the room Evie and Alannah told us they were in, I turned around and headed back to my room.

Opening the door, Kathrine was still naturally asleep. As I walked over to the bed, I took my clothes off and snuck under the blankets. I kept my distance to not wake Kathrine up, but she must have felt my presence as she shuffled towards me and wrapped her arm over me.

I did not mind being the little spoon, so I nestled in to make sure she felt comfortable and prepared to go to sleep, despite not being tired.

However, as I was about to close my eyes, I felt an invisible presence suddenly in front of me as it became my little spoon, not wanting to be left out. I rolled my eyes at the stalkers presence and thought so only she could hear me. ‘A risky move my love, but its ok, you snuggle up as much as you want.’

Onyx did not verbalise in any way. However, her butt positioned its way into my groin region and positioned itself in a way that my hotdog developed buns. She did not go any further, which I appreciated as I closed my eyes for a nice nap.

…

“Apollo.” I heard in my half asleep state. “Apollooo.” I heard again, followed by a boop on my nose. Opening my eyes, I was greeted by a pair of familiar breasts. “Morning Kathrine, or whatever time it is.” I replied as I stretched.

Waking up further, I realised that Kathrine was straddling my waist above the sheets as she looked down at me. “So, how was your time with Evie and Alannah?” She asked with a smile on her face.

“Oh, I didn’t go. I came and slept with you instead.” I said sitting up and holding her in position so we were now directly facing one another. Kathrine’s eyes darted back and forth between mine before she softly spoke. “Why did you not go through with it?”

I smiled as I ran my hand up Kathrine’s back, causing her to shiver. “I realised halfway there that I was only going because of that little plan you made. Honestly they were hot, but I was not really in the mood after your power vacuuming earlier. I thought instead I should just get some rest with you as it would be more enjoyable.”

Kathrine felt sweet after hearing that, so it was only natural she leant in to give Apollo some sugar. After kissing tenderly for a few moments, Kathrine pulled back before saying. “You make me feel all giddy sometimes handsome, its like I regress age around you.” She said with a full faced smile before turning serious.

“Now, we are about an hour away from Ecumenopolis 1. So come with me and get showered and dressed. We have a long night followed by an even longer day so get moving.”

After washing each other in a strictly business oriented way and getting dressed, Kathrine and I left our room and made our way to one of the various lounges aboard. As we arrived, the ship was much more lively now as people were coming and going, clearly ready to leave the ship once it landed on the Spartari prime planet.

Kathrine suddenly grabbed my arm with enough force to rip off a normal humans arm as she exclaimed. “Apollo look!” and dragged me to the window. Out of the window, a planet was becoming closer by the moment. “Behold, the cradle of our empire. Isn’t she beautiful?”

As I stared at the planet, it vaguely reminded me of my original planet… ‘Earth! I almost forgot for a second there. Dumb name for a planet though.’ I shook my head to clear my thoughts as I stared towards the planet.

I could tell that the planet was majority water. Roughly 60-65% The planet was spotted with thousands of small islands all throughout it’s waters and from what I could see, three large super continents made up the total landmasses of the planet.

Taking my silent observation as shock, Kathrine smiled as she squeezed my arm. “I was stunned silent as well the first time I saw her from space. She then enveloped my arm with her chest as she pointed.

“Do you see that continent there?” She pointed to the continent that was being enveloped the planets rotation. “That is my home continent. So beautiful and the mountain views are to die for.”

As we approached even closer, I could tell that a lot of the planet was mountainous in nature. I did not have a chance to comment further due to the fact that Kathrine began pointing towards random locations and told me random facts that I would forget by the time the next one came along.

Not long after Kathrine finished her fact bombardment and we found a nice place to sit and watch the planet loom ever closer, a ship wide announcement played. “Attention esteemed guests of the Opulence, we have just received the green light to enter Ecumenopolis 1’s air space. We will begin our descent in fifteen minutes and arrive at our landing zone in twenty. On behalf of Valerica Hyllus and the Hyllus family, welcome home and enjoy your visit.”

Kathrine rolled her eyes as the announcement as I turned to question her. “Valerica?” I am pretty sure I knew, but just to be safe I asked. “That is mummies name. It does not surprise me she made the captain say her name over the announcement. She is a very vain woman and loves attention.”

I gave Kathrine a look, but did not say anything as I looked back out into space. Kathrine however, did not like the implication of that look and continued to beg me for the next fifteen minutes what it meant.

As we entered the atmosphere of the planet, The ship began moving towards, from my perspective, the most central continent of the lot. The continent was shaped sort of like a broken horse shoe and had thousands of islands along its coasts.

The closer to the ground we got, the more detail I could make out. To start of with, the planet looked gorgeous. From the flora, the terrain and the man made structures. Unlike Ecumenopolis 4, this planet was made up entirely of beautifully designed homes and buildings.

Most buildings seemed ‘futuristic’ by my standards, but some other buildings caught my eye. Like in the ruins on Alexandria, there were a lot of ancient buildings scattered around that were made of marble and had that classic Greco-Roman aesthetic with plenty of columns, arches and domes.

It did not take long for the Opulence to arrive at its destination. After landing, most of the people present inside the lounge got to their feet and began hurrying to the exit. Kathrine and I stayed behind in our seats for a minute.

Curious as to why I was sat down, Kathrine with an amused expression on her face asked. “Why haven’t you joined the rest in stampeding out handsome?” I chuckled as a watched everyone get in each others way. “To avoid that.” I said as I pointed to the horde of people before continuing. “The planet will still be here in five minutes, there is no rush. Let everyone get on everyone else’s nerves and we will walk out in bliss once it is quiet.”

Kathrine closed her eyes and smiled before replying. “Mmh, I could not agree more darling, we have so much in common after all, its only natural we often think similar is it not?”

If normal people taking five minutes to get off an aircraft is common with all the pushing and shoving, Imagine all the passengers being upstart, self intitled, ego engorged nobles who think they are better than everybody.

What should have taken those five minutes took close to an hour before all the noise and yelling died down. That was when Kathrine and I finally decided to leave the ship. After finding out a valet service deals with all our personal belongings and Kathrine asking one final time what that look earlier was about, we were almost out of the ship when we ran into Hank who stopped us and said.

“Hey you two, a word?” Kathrine stopped her pestering upon seeing Hank and replied. “Sure Hank, what is up?” Hank took a deep breath before he spoke once more. “So after using my parabolic mic to listen in on your conversations, It has come to my attention that your new husband has never been here before correct?”

I was taken aback that the old man was spying on us, but Kathrine squinted her eyes in suspicion. “Hank… Why were you spying on the two of us?” She said as though she was confirming something.

Hank coughed before he said with no guilt whatsoever. “Ah right, Your mother called me earlier and I told her about your new husband here. She wanted information on him. After finding out he has never been here before, she has invited the two of you dinner in her Capital home.”

Kathrine and I looked at each other. I did not know what to expect, though I thought it would be nice to meet more of Kathrine’s family. Kathrine on the other hand had a single thought pass through her head.

“Shit!”
