SAPPHIRE
By

Chapter
One
Sapphire
knew what her family
thought of her. She knew
they called her a bimbo
behind her back. She
knew they didn’t
understand why she
hadn’t become a
scientist like her older
sister, Tori, or why she
didn’t marry a rich
doctor and settle down
to be a shipwife. Truth
was, things like that
had never interested
her.
Looking
out over the crowd of
heads, she smiled
brightly from the stage.
Men whooped and hollered
just for a glimpse of
her. She could make them
beg, make them buy her
whatever her heart
desired, make them lay
down on a puddle of mud
just so she could step
on them with a stiletto
heel. Why? Because she
was Galaxy Playmate of
the Year, that’s why.
Because men were men and
always would be, and she
was a woman who knew how
to get what she wanted
from them. So what if
other women called her a
whore for what she did?
They were all just
secretly jealous of her
anyway.
Tori had
spent her whole life in
books, always studying,
living in disgustingly
remote corners of the
world--and for what?
Respect? Prestige?
Money? Sapphire looked
around the crowd of
yelping humanoid males.
She stayed in the nicest
hotels, had the nicest
clothes, and rode in the
best spacecrafts. As for
respect, she had as much
as she could demand from
them.
Prestige?
She was one of the most
popular women in all the
humanoid cultures. Men
had her holographic
image posted on bed
frames and stuffed into
work lockers. They
traded her on cards,
dreamt about her at
night, fantasized about
her during the day. They
wrote her love letters,
sent her jewels, begged
for her hand in
marriage. Many would
give their life just to
touch her. She bet
anything that more
people knew her name
than the most famous
scientist in history.
And
money? Oh, did she have
money!
Men paid
just to get a closer
look at her body. Like
now. All these men had
paid just to watch her
stand on stage and take
her clothes off. What
did she care if they saw
her breasts, her ass,
her pussy? Everything
was genetically enhanced
these days anyway and it
wasn’t like they could
touch her unless she
asked for it. Lord
Maximus, owner of the
Galaxy Playmates Empire,
would never allow it.
The crowd
was the usual mix of
humans and other
creatures. Some looked
like human males with
only minor differences,
like strange protrusions
or ripples of flesh on
their faces and bodies.
Others were hairy, with
long arms and massive
chests. There were those
with reptile skin, large
black horns, flesh so
crimson they looked like
Ancient Earth demons.
Some had wings. Some
webbed fingers. She was
used to the mix, and it
didn’t bother her as
much as the first time
she had come on stage
before a similar group.
Besides, some of the
alien creatures had
unique bedroom talents
all their own, and
people weren’t as queasy
about interspecies
relations as they’d once
been.
"I love
you, Sapphire!" someone
yelled from the crowd,
sounding drunk. A roar
of similar proclamations
followed the first.
Sapphire
shot the crowd a naughty
smile and wiggled into a
sexy pose, thrusting her
ass towards them. The
cheering got louder. She
forgot which starbase
she was on, exactly.
After a hundred of these
shows, she just stopped
paying attention.
Her long
gown of translucent blue
shimmered in the stage
light, giving away peeks
of her nipples and the
stripe of her dark
nether hair. When a
spotlight passed behind
her, it showed her
feminine curves to
perfection. Her dark
hair was coiled up on
top of her head,
streaked with blue and
silver, studded with
sapphires and diamonds.
A small sapphire beauty
mark sparkled from just
under her right eye. Her
eyes had been
permanently colored to a
dark blue, no longer the
plain brown of her
birth.
Music
started soft in the
background. Smoke began
to curl over the metal
platform of the stage,
slinking seductively
through the air around
her. Sapphire moved her
body, mimicking the
smoke as she worked her
arms above her head. She
knew the routine well,
had performed it many
times. Keeping time to
the music, she pulled a
long silver glove from
her arm, revealing the
bronze of her glistening
skin.
Sapphire
closed her eyes, as the
music felt its way into
her movements. She
danced, letting her
fingers glide over her
body. A light moan left
her lips as her hand
glanced over an erect
nipple. She found it
erotically stimulating
to be watched by so many
eyes, to be wanted.
Often, after a show,
when she didn’t have a
boyfriend to tend to
her, she’d had to bring
out her arsenal of toys
and pleasure herself.
Lord
Maximus had a thing
about his treasure trove
of women selling their
bodies like common space
trash. To openly sleep
with many men took away
the illusion of
untouchability. They
were allowed to have
sex, but always had to
keep it within a
relationship, or limit
it to the high paying
clientele. It was always
ladies’ choice and no
one had sex for money if
they didn’t want to.
Being an all-out whore
was one of the only ways
to be stripped of Lord
Maximus’ prized circle
of protection.
Sapphire
gyrated her hips in the
air, flicking a strap
from her shoulder. The
dress slid off her arms
to bare her large,
perfect breasts. The
cool air hit her skin,
making her shiver. Hot
cream gathered to
moisten her slit. The
fabric slid off her body
in a feathery caress
until she was standing
beautifully naked on
stage, wearing only her
high heels.
The men’s
cheers echoed in and out
of her mind. She began
to pant in anticipation.
Something strange had
been happening at her
shows for about the last
six months. Her body
would get fired up and
she’d nearly come on
stage, as if someone
outside herself willed
it. A few times she’d
been so worked up she
had nearly run back to
her dressing room to
masturbate.
The music
continued a low, lulling
beat. Sapphire became
mindless to everything
as a familiar tension
built inside her
stomach. The spotlight
faded from her eyes. Her
mouth opened and she
forgot everything but
the need to find a
fulfillment she knew
wouldn’t come. Time
suspended into a hazy
cloud of pleasure and
before she knew it the
song was over. She
slowly came back to
awareness.
The men
were going crazy. Her
shoulders were thrown
boldly back. Her legs
were spread wide on the
floor. The air smelled
of sex and she knew
every man before her had
a hard on just for her.
Stickiness dampened her
thighs until she wanted
nothing more than to
grab one of the many
willing cocks from the
crowd and ride it until
sunrise. She knew she
could take her pick of
any or several.
She held
perfectly still. Her
skin was glistening with
sweat. The lights faded
off of her. She was the
grand finale of the
night and the men moaned
in disappointment that
the evening was over.
Sapphire
walked naked from the
stage, in nothing but
her high heels. As she
appeared behind the
curtain Jonathan, part
of the stage crew, threw
her a robe. His round,
green eyes were on her
breasts, though he tried
his best to act like he
was working. She turned
fully to the young man
and pinched a nipple,
causing him to drop his
electronic clipboard. He
gulped, his eyes darting
up to meet hers. She
winked at him, causing
him to blush profusely
all the way to the roots
of his hair.
"You …
you were great Miss
Sapphire!" the boy
called to her back as
she walked away.
Sapphire
lifted her arm to signal
she’d heard him and
slipped the robe over
her shoulders. Knowing
there would be a long
line of men wishing to
meet her in person, she
continued back to her
dressing room to make
ready to greet them.

REVIEWS
Road to
Romance
SAPPHIRE
is a jewel of a story.
Michelle M. Pillow has
created a character that
is unafraid of her
sexuality. I liked that
Sapphire had this
attitude of owning her
sexuality and of not
allowing others to
dictate her actions. She
knows what she likes and
wants and is not ashamed
of pursuing it. The
palpable magnetism
between the characters
is scorching. I also
like the thought of
people that are meant to
be together. As well as
Roark’s acceptance of
Sapphire’s love of her
job and that he doesn’t
contemplate forcing her
to quit. If you’re
looking for a quick read
with plenty of fire then
look no further.
Michelle M Pillow has a
great ability to weave
captivating plots and I
look forward to reading
more of her work.

"SAPPHIRE is an
exciting futuristic
romance that will
knock your socks off.
Roark and Sapphire
have an explosive
connection that melts
the pages. Sapphire is
a real beauty who
loves her work. Roark
is a rather unique
male and built like a
god. He's not too big
on words, but his
actions are
electrifying. The
story is fast-paced,
the sex is spicy, and
though it seems
far-fetched that two
people could fall in
love so quickly, it
works.
The
first up in Galaxy
Playmates, a new
series by Michelle M.
Pillow, SAPPHIRE is
one hot commodity. A
sneak preview of the
next book, QUARTZ, is
included and is just
as captivating as
SAPPHIRE."

"This
story’s sensual level is
set on high from the
first pages, and the
intensity only escalates
throughout the book.
Roark and Sapphire are
such a passionate and
potent couple, who have
always been in control
of their lives. But when
these two are together,
it is often hard to tell
who is controlling the
other. And Roark even
has an extra special
feature that makes their
intimate scenes even
more sensuous. Ms.
Pillow has penned a very
creative and original
story with GALAXY
PLAYMATES 1: Sapphire,
and this book will
certainly heat up your
nights."

Galaxy
Playmates: Sapphire is a
quick read about a
rather unique couple.
She enjoys her work and
doesn’t care what people
think about her career
choice. Roark is
surprised at first about
Sapphire being a
stripper but that
doesn’t lessen his
feelings towards her.
Even though they do not
meet until well into the
story, Sapphire does
feel a connection to
Roark. She just can’t
fit everything together.
It isn’t until she
finally meets him for
the first time that all
of her feelings and
emotions are suddenly
crystal clear. The sex
is quite interesting.
Roark has an
amazing…err…package that
he uses to his
advantage. And boy does
he know how to use it.
If you are looking for a
fun read with some
interesting sex scenes,
this is the book for
you.

"Michelle
M. Pillow's Galaxy
Playmates: Sapphire was
a great read. I am very
happy to learn that it
is the beginning of a
series. While it is a
very short story, it is
very VERY enjoyable.
The action heats up when
Sapphire's mystery man
is revealed and they
consummate their
relationship. I don't
mind saying that I
wouldn't mind a man with
his endowments and I'm
sure many will agree
with me on that,
however, you will have
to read Sapphire
yourself to find out
exactly what his
endowments are.
Ms.
Pillow's stories are
consistently excellent
and Galaxy Playmates:
Sapphire is no
exception. I always
love Ms. Pillow's
characters and Sapphire
is a strong, proud
woman. Her mystery man
is her perfect
compliment and I hope to
read more about them in
Ms. Pillow's future
stories.
If you
enjoy a short story with
interesting characters
and carnal-rated love
scenes, don't miss
Galaxy Playmates:
Sapphire."
Tanya
Galaxy
Playmates: Sapphire is
an extremely HOT erotic
short story, very much
worth buying. The
characters don’t have a
lot of background
information, but
Michelle M. Pillow has
told this tale in such a
way that it isn’t really
needed to get to know
these Sapphire and
Roark. I loved this
story and highly
recommend it especially
if you want to get into
the right frame of mind
for a lover and not have
a lot of time in which
to get there.- Nikita

"Erotic

one! The story is short
and plot is intriguing.
Roark is a sexy alpha
male who takes control
and doesn't let it go. I
loved the fact that
Sapphire wasn't ashamed
of what she was doing
and didn't make up
excuses for why she was
stripping. Together this
couple is dynamite and
the explosion could take
out the world. This is a
futuristic story, but
the emphasis is put on
the characters and not
the setting. A highly
entertaining read, it
gets a thumbs up from
me!
