Quoted By:
Giving your sister a new ship for a pittance, letting disgusting xenos onto your shipyard. All of these options were unacceptable. You could just put out job ads and scout for other workers, but that would take time. You needed <span class="mu-i">something</span> on short notice. Your mind turned to the one thing you hadn’t yet considered and you shivered.
“Jack, put out some job ads for regular <span class="mu-i">human</span> workcrews. I’m going on a business trip.”
“Where are you going?”
“To call in a favour…”
—------------------
It had been a long time since you visited the family estate on Raiha. The throne world looked better than when you last visited. Orbital traffic was still sparse on account of the Kessler syndrome but even the haze of debris in low orbit didn’t seem quite as dense as you remembered. The city had recovered from the civil war that had only ended three years earlier. You remembered the dark days of your childhood, as your family struggled to survive. Back then your elder brother Daisuke had been a comfort to you, always cheering you up, always trying to protect you. But as you both matured the relationship had soured. One night he confided in you that his feelings for you went beyond brotherly love. He had confessed how he lusted after you, described in lurid detail how he wished to worship your body. He never acted on those words, but knowing how he felt made you sick to your stomach. After that night you kept him at arms length and eventually you left for the stars hoping to never see him again.
Yet here he was now, there to greet you at the gates of the estate.
“Yumi. It’s good to see you again. What brings you back home. Have you tired of your business venture with that… commoner?” It was understated but there was no mistaking the jealousy in his voice.
“No. But the venture is in trouble. I need a favour Dai.”
“Anything for my beloved little sister.”
You sigh in relief, maybe you wouldn’t have to go as far as you planned. Both of you retire to a private room where you explain the situation to him.
“What you ask for is no small thing Yumi. Especially since Shirin keeps leaning on me to provide all the support I can while she stabilises Shima colony. You will have to offer me something in return.”
“Dai please help, I have nothing to offer.” You slowly walked over to him and sat on his lap, eyes wet with feigned vulnerability. “Nothing but my love.”
Daisukes expression hardened for a split second before melting into one of bemused understanding. His hands move to undress you. You do not stop him…
