Chapter Eleven

“You’re really gonna like our next stop.”

Logan was leading me down a long hallway.  If it’s back to the bedroom I know I will, but that’s not going to happen. Unfortunately.

As I was thinking of the many things I would like to do in said bedroom, Foxer stopped next to a large, heavy duty double locking door.

“This is one of my favorite places.”  He typed in a code and the doors flew open.

We stepped inside and my jaw dropped.  As far as the eye could see ships scattered the room.  All fighters: it was heaven.

“Are these all for us?” it felt so strange but also exhilarating to include myself as a part of the rangers.

“all for the rangers, yes.  All the other ships are in different hangers.  These here are separated out as well.”  We walk down a ways and then Logan stopped and turned.  Rabbit and Frog were pushing each other around and laughing hysterically. “This is where our ships sit.  J sector.”

“Wait, our ships?” I interrupted.

“Yeah, ours, each fleet gets their own to use.  No trading around.  This way you know them inside and out.” 

“Seems like a good idea.”

“Mhmm.”

“It sure is a good idea man.  I mean like what if a dude uses a ship and gets sick in it or leaves a stink bomb? You walk in next and BAM! A slap in the face.”

Frog turned and smacked Rabbits cheek, not hard but still enough to sting.  He turned around at Blake’s ‘Hey!’

 “Now you gotta fly around in that for however long?  Uh ah, no WAY!”  Fred, or Frog, said with a look of pure disgust on his face, like this actually happened to him.

“Ech! Don’t say stuff like that, we still have to pass ships off the next recruits when we get new ones!”

“True, true.  Speaking of which, Jaycen,” Logan and Rabbit each grabbed a shoulder of mine and spin me around.  The pushed me forward and stopped near the front of a ship.

“This, our dear baby boy, is your very own!” I missed the look Foxer shot him over my head.

My heart picked up speed, pounding in my chest with unleashed excitement. 

“You mean….?”  I looked to Foxer, the question in my eyes.

“Yup, it’s yours and only yours until you wreck it or we get new models!”

“If you look over here, these are mine, Rabbit’s, and Foxer’s ships.  They lets us mark ‘em since they are ours.”

I looked at the other ships and chuckled a bit.  On each ship there was for sure a ‘mark.’ I bet I could easily guess which belonged to whom.  On each there was a larger J next to a fox on one, a frog on one, and a bunny rabbit on the other.  They really like their nicknames. 

“Come on, baby!” Rabbit put his arm on my shoulder, then at Frog’s ‘ahem’ I looked over to see Logan glaring at Blake and his arm on me.

“Baby?” His voice was deep, and kind of scary, I’m not going to lie.  I guess he has more than skills and cockiness on his side.  And I am a little excited to see that jealousy or possessiveness or whatever that was in him, not gonna lie about that either!

“Umm, h-haha, Baby boy, you know, cuz he’s young and little? Anyways,” He spun us a bit away from Foxer’s fierce gaze, “Let’s take them out for our first fleet flight. Haha, that kinda rhymed!”

My face lights up, I know I definitely look like a ‘baby boy’ at Christmas now.  Go out, in actual space, for the first time ever, not having to pretend in a module!

“Hell yes!” 

Everyone laughed at my eagerness, including myself, but I still could help the blush that sprouted.  Nothing like showing them how mature and grown up you are.

The guys split to head to their ships, but Logan stayed back.

“I’ll ride with you, just for your first time, in case you need me to bail you outta a fix.”  He winked and gave that trademark Foxer smirk.

I want to argue, but my mind kept playing back to that time in the module ship.  How could I say ‘no’ to experiencing that again? Exactly!

As we enter, me first of course, I had to glide my hands across everything.  Mine.  My ship.  My RANGER ship. 

Logan sat down in the seat first, and then pulled me down next.  Only I wasn’t sitting correctly.  He pulled me down so I was straddling him.  I thought my heart was pounding from the idea of flying for the first time, but this was worse. 

“S-shouldn’t we be getting ready to go?” I asked breathily.

“Mmm, I a minute.”  He reached up and caressed my cheek as he pulled my face to his.  His lips touched mine and I couldn’t hold back the moan. 

Oh, they way that smug mouth feels on mine is bless.  So warm and smooth.   

“Like the sounds you make.”  I felt my blush, but I really just didn’t care because just then I felt his tongue brush my lower lip.  Opening my mouth on a groan, I excepted his request. 

Just as our tongues met, however, a booming, “Keep your hands to yourselves, put ‘em back in your pants, and let’s get moving!” The voice was Frog, but both he and Rabbit could be heard busting a gut in the background.  I had jump clear out of my skin when I heard the noise, but Logan just turned me around chuckling as well. 

“Must have hit the coms switch by accident.” He mumbled close to my ear.  Louder he said, “Well what did you expect, I had to stake my claim somehow,” he nudged me and winked when I turned to him.  “After Rabbit’s ‘baby, baby boy’ crap.”

“Alright, now that I assume you guys have untangled, let’s head out.”
