Aphrodite 1

By Celine Chatillon

Aphrodite 1 Life Sciences Officer Dr. Giselle Rosseau hasn’t lost a fellow crew member yet—and she’s not about to lose one now, either. Her first year aboard a space station orbiting the hot and desolate second planet hasn’t been all she hoped for, but she manages to work well under their less than friendly commander, Seth McCloud. After Seth suffers a freak accident in the upper Venusian atmosphere, Giselle theorizes that perhaps their handsome comatose commander’s irritating stick-up-his-ass demeanor is only a cover concealing a past heartache.

When Seth wakes up and finds Giselle pleasuring herself by his sickbed, to her surprise and delight, he wants to join in on the fun. Suddenly lonely Giselle finds both her empty heart and her bunk filled with a passion that cannot be denied.

Now everyone has a regular partner, and Giselle, Seth, and the rest of their playful crewmates can’t wait for Valentine’s Day. Seth’s increased strength and stamina since his accident is a mystery, but Giselle’s surprise a few weeks later is an even bigger one. What really happened to Seth in Venus’s upper atmosphere? And how will it affect their future happiness together?

Chapter One: February 2, 2169

Describe Commander Seth McCloud’s current emotional state.

Giselle Rosseau looked away from the flashing cursor and returned to monitoring their away team member’s vital signs on the heads up display. How she despised doing the monthly psych evals! But Earth Central insisted. She had no problems writing up the routine short mental/physical health reviews for her four other station mates. Those were never any trouble for her.

However, she found writing a psych review for the mission commander of Aphrodite 1 about as pleasant as walking barefoot over Venus’ surface, which at 465 degrees Celsius was hot enough to melt lead.
