Admiral's Quarters<br/><br/>Kiri sat without thinking about it.  "As you wish, Admiral," her breathy response, the sudden rush of happy she felt distracting her from bare thighs and pink panties.  The man was rather handsome in a rough sort of way, and huge; his presence effected her like no other man's ever had.  Crossing her legs, she palmed her glass and thought about how to answer him.  She should be wary; with a mind like a steel trap Kol didn't miss a trick and could be fishing for more than idle chat.  While his thank you was innocent enough, it could also mean he knew what she'd just done to him, for him.  And that would mean he knew what she was.<br/><br/>"Well, Sir, as a ward of the Trader Emergency Coalition, i didn't have a family per se.  My time was spent in the orphanage until i was able to join the miltary."  With a wry smile, she added, "It is fortunate i was allowed to enlist as an objector.  I'm a lousy shot for sure."<br/><br/><br/><br/>
