“And even so, we would’ve seen a more modified strain by the time anyone infected from Opal City made it here,” Kingo says.

Helios and I look at each other. “Elian Daron was going to tell the whole world about this,” he says. “He could’ve stopped the war from ever happening. Our forefathers would’ve investigated the matter, and they would’ve likely found the source.”

“Whoever did this did not want the truth to come out,” I reply, shaking my head slowly. “Millions dead, and for what? Who stood to gain from this?”

“Not the Sky Tribe. They’re just as miserable,” Alicia says. “They didn’t even consider going out among the stars to hunt for human women until some years ago, long after the plague and the ensuing civil war ravaged your society. They’ve been victims, too.”

“Then who?” I ask again. “I don’t understand; it doesn’t make sense.”

“We’ll find out—that I can promise you,” Alicia replies. We’ll keep investigating in the meantime. We’re not done with Red Rock yet. I’m sure we’ll find more clues or leads to help shed more light on the issue. But one thing is certain: Opal City and Kaos Volcano are where we’ll find our answers. Whatever is left up here…are just scraps.”

Of course, I don’t like the sound of that. But Helios was right. He usually is, especially where Alicia is concerned. We cannot stop her from digging deeper, nor should we. The peace and balance we seek will not come cheap. We’ll face the dangers ahead together, whether we’re ready for them or not.

But as the night deepens and the stars shine brighter in the sky, I get an uncontrollable urge to hold Alicia close to me and never let her go. The universe isn’t done testing us, in any case.

Once Kingo is off to bed, Helios and I put the fire out and take Alicia to our bedroom. It’s nice and warm in there, and the night winds murmur against the cracked windows. We peel her clothes off and take our sweet time covering her body with loving kisses. I listen to the sound of her ragged breath as I get on my knees and spread her legs.

“We’ll have to make the most of every night we spend here,” I tell her. “We don’t know what awaits us once we leave Red Rock.”

“Yes,” Alicia whispers, tilting her head back as Helios embraces her from behind.

She’s slick and hot and ready for me as soon as I slide my tongue between her sweet folds. I close my lips around her swollen clit and suckle on it while my fingers enter her—two at first to test and tease her, then three to prime her for what’s coming. My cock hurts with longing, the veins pulsating furiously with each taste of this incredible woman.

Her moans are music to my ears as I bring her closer to the edge.

Helios holds her breasts firmly in his hands, kneading and squeezing while her hips sway back and forth, her wet pussy rubbing against my face. He pinches her nipples long and hard as I press my tongue onto her clit, causing an orgasm to unravel through her whole body. Alicia cries out, shuddering as I finger-fuck her harder, curling my fingers with every pull, squeezing her dry of glistening nectar, and drinking every drop.

This is what heaven tastes like.

“Get on your knees, my darling,” Helios commands her. “It’s your turn.”

“Gladly,” Alicia grins, her eyes drooping with raw pleasure as I stand.

Seconds later, she’s working us both with her hands and her wonderful mouth, licking and sucking our cocks like there’s no tomorrow. We tower above her while she kneels, voraciously deep-throating each of us in generous turns. Her fingers are wrapped around the base of my erection at one point, lips coating the tip as her tongue presses against the swollen vein, and all I can do is grunt and try to breathe. I wish to come inside her. She’ll swallow me later, for the night is still young.

“Stop,” Helios groans and pulls back, just as close to his climax as I am. “Come here.” He climbs onto the bed on his knees, beckoning her to keep sucking him while I take her from behind.

“Fucking hell, Alicia, how are you always so hot and wet and tight?” I snarl as I spear her with my full, throbbing length. My fingers dig deep into her hips, and I damn near lose my mind before she answers.

“It’s because of how you two make me feel…always hot…always wet…” she says, and I thrust myself deep inside her slick pussy. “Always tight—OH, God, yes!”

“Take it,” Helios purrs, and she grabs the base of his cock with both hands, holding on for dear life as she lets him slide down her throat.

Once, twice, and by the third time, I’m buried so deep inside her that I can almost touch her soul.

“Oh, yes, Kharo… YES, harder, baby… harder…”

“Open wide, darling,” Helios says.

He’s cupping her cheek and holding her head in place as he starts fucking her mouth faster and faster. I’m pounding into her, harder and harder. I lose control. Helios loses control. And Alicia takes us both like a champion as we claim her, as we let go completely and ravage her body and soul, as we become one yet again.

“Drink me,” Helios gasps and shoots his load down her throat while I spill my seed deep inside her womb. Her pussy clenches fiercely around my cock, squeezing every damned drop as she screams our names with each brutal thrust.

I love the wiggling of her ass cheeks as I fuck her, as I keep fucking her until I’m mellow again. It won’t be long before I’m hard, though. Alicia has that effect on us, a way of getting our engines firing and rumbling quickly. We never linger in the afterglow for too long.

Helios plants a kiss on her lips, tasting himself and smiling with sublime satisfaction. I caress her full hips and grab handfuls of her plump breasts, grateful to finally have her. To finally bury myself in the only woman ever meant for us.

There are darker times ahead, yes.
