In the Bazaar section of the space station, a young civilian woman was eagerly exploring the various shops and stores that sold wares from around the sector. This was her first trip outside the core worlds of the Empire, and she was fascinated by the sights, sounds, and occasional smells that greeted her. 

She passed a mirror hanging outside a clothing boutique and stopped to admire the way the skintight flight -suit she wore showed off her impressive curves, and the medium blue color flattered her pale skin, rust red hair and turquoise and green colored eyes. But she moved on, because she wasn’t particularly in the mood to clothes shop. 

Eventually, she came across a shop that interested her greatly. A store that sold animals from the only inhabited planet in the system, Earth. She was a lover of animals, and the Earth animals fascinated her since the majority of them were small enough to fit in the palms of her hands. 
After marveling at a pretty striped mammal that was called a “tiger” according to the sign, she happened to glance up and notice something that caught her attention immediately. In a corner of the store was a display case of about ten or twelve cryo-pods, and above them a sign that read “Live Humans, Cryo-Preserved, Discounted 50% off!”

She examined the pods and saw the humans inside, each with peaceful looks upon their faces, as if they were merely sleeping. She signaled to the operator of the store who shuffled over to her quickly. 

“What can I help you with, miss?” The store keep asked with a pleasant smile on her face. 

“Why are these humans frozen like this?”

The store keeper nodded with a slight frown on her face. “Ah yes. These were confiscated from a smuggler that was taken into custody by the military detachment here. It was judged unwise to try and return these creatures to their home, so they were left in my care hoping that with my clientele I would be able to find suitable homes for them. I’ve been able to place several of them so far, and as I wasn’t charged for them, I decided that if I discounted them heavily, it might facilitate their placement. Are you interested?” 

“I think I am. I hate the idea of the poor things left sitting on a shelf like this. I would like to give a good home to one of them at least.” She looked over the tiny faces that lay sleeping before her gaze. “A male, I think, since I already have a female.” She reached out and plucked one from the shelf. He was a little longer than the palm of her hand, with pale skin and shaggy brown hair. He wore no clothing except for a pair of shorts, and looked to be the same age as she was.

“That is an excellent choice. Now, if you’ll bring him over here, we can complete the purchase!” The store owner said with a smile. She quickly entered the transaction into the till, and instructed the young woman on the proper way to safely bring her human out of his preserved state, and then with a smile wished her customer a good day. 

Deciding that her business on the space station was concluded, the woman carried her purchase to the docking bay where her cruiser waited for her. Within moments she was cleared of the space station and on her way to the outer edge of the solar system. She brought out her portable vid-com and dialed the I.D. of her best friend back home. After a few alerts, the face of her friend Zara appeared. 

“Hey Brinn! How was the Titan Station?” 

“Not bad Zara, look what I got!” She held up her purchase in front of the screen, angling it so the camera could pick up the human’s face reasonably well. 

“They had humans for sale there?” Zara seemed astonished. 

“Apparently they were confiscated from some smugglers. I got him at a discount!”

“Well, I just hope he wasn’t damaged. You don’t know what you’re getting. He’s cute though.”

Brinn smiled. “Yeah. I think so too. I’m going to wake him up as soon as I hang up here. I hope he doesn’t freak out too much.” 

Zara chuckled. “Ohh… he probably will. Poor guy won’t know what’s going on at all. He’ll probably be afraid you’re going to eat him! Rawr!” 

“Zara! Don’t even joke about that. The poor little thing will be just fine once I get him calm.” Brinn absentmindedly stroked the clear window on the front of the pod, already feeling protective of her new pet. 

“You’ll be fine Brinn, and so will he. Anyway, I’d better let you get to it. Good luck and have a safe trip home.” 

“Thanks. I will.” She cut the connection and turned her attention to the frozen human. She quickly disabled the freezing apparatus the way that the store owner had showed her, and with a hiss of escaping gasses the unit popped open. She smiled softly and waited, the shop keeper had said it might take several minutes for the creature to rouse and that she should be patient and not try to hurry the process. 

When he finally awoke, Nick didn’t know where he was. One moment he’d been cutting through the back lot cornfield on his way home from the pool party, walking because he’d been just a little too drunk to drive… and then there had been a sound like a squad of helicopters flying overhead, and a bright light, followed by nothingness. 

“Ow.” He groaned sitting up and rubbing his head. “This is easily the worst hangover I’ve ever had. And why am I so cold?” He pushed himself to his feet and realized that, except for his swim trunks, he was naked. “Oh great. Looks like some asshole stole my clothes. I bet it was Gary, what a prick.” He took a few steps and realized belatedly that the floor he was standing on was made of metal. There was a bright white light above him and… was someone giggling? 

He glanced up and promptly fell back to the floor in shock. He couldn’t believe his eyes, looming above him was… a giant woman! She was huge! So huge he realized that he could only see her from the waist up, meaning that he was on some kind of platform… like a giant table. 

“Hi there, cutie. Don’t be afraid, I’m not going to hurt you. My name’s Brinn. What’s yours?” Nick was so struck by the absurdity of the situation that he didn’t even consider not answering. 

“My… My name’s Nick.” He stuttered staring up into the smiling face of the giantess. A small corner of his mind that wasn’t screaming incoherently noted that she, the giant woman, was really very attractive. She had long, curly red hair, eyes the color of the sea, and (except for a splash of freckles across the bridge of her nose,) porcelain skin. Allowing his gaze to travel further down he noted that she was wearing a skintight suit and that her breasts were… well, rather large… proportionately. 

Nick caught himself staring and forced his gaze upward again, there were more important matters to be thinking about. “Where am I? What do you want with me?” 

“It’s okay Nick. Nobody’s going to hurt you here, alright?” Brinn smiled gently down on the little man and resisted the urge to pet him. She knew that his nerves were on edge and there would be ample time for that once she had calmed him down and gained his trust. “You’re inside my space cruiser, and we’re just outside your solar system. Easy there!” Her hand shot out and she used her finger to steady the little man when it looked like he’d been about to pass out. After a few seconds, the human pushed away from her and stood, nodding to signal that he was okay again. 

“Don’t scare me like that!” She chided gently. “Anyway, you’d been abducted from your world by a group of alien smugglers and placed into cryogenic stasis. Members of my people’s military recovered you from them, and, well… long story short, you’re here now!” Brinn finished awkwardly, unsure of exactly how much it was safe to divulge at this point. 

“Listen Nick, can I pick you up? We need to continue this conversation and I’m getting a bit of a crick in my neck looking down at you, and you looking up at me can’t be all that pleasant either so… do you mind?” Brinn asked, hiding her amusement at the fact that this would be the one and only time she would ask permission to take the little human in hand.

“Yeah. I guess that would be okay.” Nick agreed, still a little unsure of what exactly was going on. “Just, you know… be careful.”


“Always.” Brinn promised. 

Her long fingers carefully wrapped around Nick’s body, each one of them was almost as long as he was tall. It only hit him then how tiny he actually was compared to the giant woman. Once she had secured him against the palm of her hand, Nick was lifted off the table and towards her smiling face. 

“You are so cute little guy.” There was a grinding sound that caused him to look down and see that her other hand was unzipping her jumpsuit and revealing the amazing, mountainous breasts he’d been staring at before. After a moment Nick looked back up into Brinn’s eyes to see her smirking knowingly. He’d been caught. 

“I saw you looking at them earlier. Do you like them? It’s okay, I’m glad you do. Here, take a closer look.” she lowered her hand until he was level with her cleavage, Nick could smell her perfume. It was something that smelled like lilacs. It probably wasn’t lilacs, because she was an alien after all, but it was close enough. 

His reverie was broken as the giant lady started walking towards a chair, scaled for her size, in the corner. With a contented sigh she lowered her humongous and lithe form onto the upholstery and raised Nick back up to her face. “Okay you, we need to have a little talk. Or rather, I need to tell you how things are, and you need to listen.” Her tone was light and playful, but there was definitely an undertone of command there. She was in charge and she wasn’t going to let Nick forget it. 

“What… what do you mean?” He replied nervously, his body began to shake uncontrollably. What was she going to do with him? 

“Hey, take it easy there tiny, I’m not going to hurt you, relax.” She brought her empty hand up behind Nick and began to lightly stroke his back with her fingers in a calming way. Surprisingly, it worked. Nick began to feel calmer almost immediately. 

“There. That’s better.” She smiled warmly, but didn’t stop caressing his back. “Now, here’s the deal little guy. Obviously you’ve realized that I’m not from Earth. I’m from another planet, one that’s very far from here, and I’ve taken you aboard my cruiser.” 

“I… had grasped that, yes.” Nick said warily.

Brinn smiled and ruffled the hair on his head gently, chuckling at the tiny man. “Well good that means you haven’t gone into shock.” Her smile faded slightly and she bit her lip. Was she nervous? “What you might not have realized is; I don’t have any intention of returning you home.” 

Nick’s head snapped around to face his captor “WHAT?! But… I have a home! I have a life I need to get back to!” He suddenly felt claustrophobic, even in the massive space of her ship. He began to struggle mindlessly like an animal to escape her grip. 

“Whoa! Easy there Nick, I don’t want to drop you!” She gave him a gentle but firm squeeze, which snapped him out of his atavistic response. “Look.” She said with a sigh, “I understand how you feel, but… well… The fact of the matter is, I… sort of… bought you.”

“Bought me? But…” Nick was confused, to say the least. 

“Alright, let me back up and give you a little history. Centuries ago, when my ancestors already controlled an interstellar empire and yours had just figured out fire…. an exploratory force from my race discovered that little blue ball of yours.” 

Nick’s eyes widened and his mouth fell open, but Brinn continued with her tale. 

“You primitive little hut dwellers worshipped them as gods. …A tradition we might have to revive hmm?” She smiled fondly and fluffed his hair again. “Anyway, after your people began to develop culturally, we were content to let you govern yourselves, but we kept a close eye on you. If for no other reason than that the extraordinary physical similarities between our races merited study. However, we still maintain control over your world as far as the rest of the galaxy is concerned. Whether anybody on your world knows it or not, Earth has been part of our Empire for as long as your civilization has existed.”

To say that Nick was shocked was beyond an understatement. He felt like everything in the universe had been inverted. “I… I…” he muttered “You said I’d been bought?” 

Brinn smiled, gently, reassuringly. “Yes. We do own your planet, after all… and everything on it. Including you. Your people… well, you make good pets. Our empire maintains a scientific outpost on a moon around your planet Saturn, it’s something of a tourist trap too though… Anyway, I was there when I came across a shop selling- well, you! The lady who ran the place said you and several others like you had been taken from some alien smugglers. They were planning to take you out of the system, and probably eat you!” 

“Eat…?”
“Yes. Horrible thought, isn’t it? Luckily some of the station’s security force caught them and turned you over to the station for adoption to good homes with people who will take care of you. Like me! I hope that being my pet is a better alternative to being eaten by some horrible giant monster …right?”

“Well… Yes, I suppose it is… I mean yes, of course… But, can’t I go back? Back home to Earth?”

Her fingers returned and resumed caressing Nick, or rather… petting him, he realized with a shock. She’d actually been petting him. Like an animal. He began to breathe hard, not wanting to believe that any of this was actually happening.

“Now, Nick.” Brinn kept her voice soft and soothing “You have to understand. There isn’t a choice here. You’ve seen too much. Not only that, but we’ve already left your solar system, and even if you escaped from me, there’s no possible way you could pilot this ship to get back. But, I promise, I’m not going to harm you. I will take care of you, and if you let it… I think you’ll find that being my little toy isn’t so bad.” She smiled devilishly and before he could protest he found himself wedged up to his shoulders in her cleavage. 

Her skin was soft and warm, he could feel the steady drumbeat pulse of her heart, and hear deep inhalations in her lungs, which sounded like the ocean breeze on the beach. The lilac smell surrounded him again. 

Nick thought about it carefully. What would he gain by fighting? She was right, there was no way he’d be able to fly the ship- even if he got away from her. Not only did he have no idea how to work the controls… The thing was twice the size of a stadium! And anyway, what did he really have to look forward to back at home? His job was dead end, and he didn’t really get along with his family anyway. But… With Brinn he had the opportunity to visit an alien world, maybe more than one! And… Well, she was beautiful, and she was being really nice to him (Leaving aside the fact she now “owned” him, anyway…)

With a determined nod, Nick made up his mind. “Okay Brinn. I understand. I’ll be your pet” He felt her chuckle rumble through her chest behind him. 

“Well, that’s good. I mean, you didn’t exactly have a choice, but I’m glad you’ll be cooperating. It makes things a lot more fun. Don’t worry, you’ll like living with me. I promise.” Her hand came up and he watched as her fingers plunged into her cleavage in front of him, and began feeling around for, well something. Nick wasn’t sure what. “Now then, there’s one more little detail we need to take care of, to make it official.” 

“What are you…?” Nick’s sentence trailed off when he felt her fingernails pinch the leg of his swim trunks. With a triumphant laugh, they were jerked off of him, leaving him naked between her breasts. Nick gasped and huddled down, trying to preserve his modesty. “Hey! Give me those back!” 

“I don’t think so, Nicky. Pets don’t wear clothes after all.” Nick could hear the smug look on her face, even if he couldn’t see it from his vantage point. “Besides, I don’t want to get chaffed from that cloth rubbing up against my breasts” She giggled. “And anyway… I don’t think you really mind.” Nick was confused, until he realized his manhood was rubbing against the inside of her breast. Nick flushed embarrassed, and muttered under his breath, which just made Brinn laugh more. 

“All right cutie. I have to go check on a few things around the ship, and since I’m sure you haven’t recovered from your time in stasis, you must be exhausted huh?” 

Nick nodded, although she couldn’t see this. Now that the adrenaline he felt after she’d taken him was wearing off, he found it hard to keep his eyes open “I guess I am, Brinn.”

“I thought so.” The grinding noise returned and Nick watched as the zipper of her jumpsuit passed over his head, leaving him in vaguely blue tinted darkness. “Why don’t you catch some shut eye sweetie? We’ll be home before you know it.” Nick’s eyes dropped shut and he let Brinn’s heartbeat lull him to sleep.
