“I am.” Lance’s jaw tightened with resolve. “If it means protecting the colony and protecting our people, I’ll do whatever it takes.”

A heavy silence stretched between them, the weight of Lance’s words hanging in the air. Finally, Tiberius inclined his head. “Very well. We’ll discuss it with Simone.”

Lance’s shoulders sagged with relief, a grateful smile tugging at his lips. “Thank you, Commander. I won’t let you down.”

As Lance turned to rejoin the mercs, Tiberius felt a presence behind him. He pivoted, his enhanced reflexes kicking in, only to find Simone approaching.

“I overheard Lance’s request.”

Tiberius arched an eyebrow, his synthetic skin rippling with the subtle movement. “And your thoughts?”

Simone’s expression sobered. “While I’m thrilled at the prospect of enhancing more individuals, I think it’s best if we proceed cautiously. Let your integration serve as a test case for now.”

Before Tiberius could respond, Simone stepped closer, grazing his arm in a light caress. “We’ve come so far, but there’s still much to learn.”

Her touch sent a jolt of electricity through Tiberius’s circuits, his enhanced senses heightening the intimacy of the moment. He opened his mouth to reply, but the words caught in his throat as Simone’s hand trailed lower, her fingers brushing against the small of his back.

A low, rumbling chuckle escaped her lips. “Easy there, big guy. We have work to do.”

With a playful swat to his backside, Simone turned and strode away, leaving Tiberius equal parts exhilarated and bewildered by her bold gesture.

As he watched her retreating form, a smile tugged at his lips. The Sventian Scourge would face more than just fortified defenses if they were foolish enough to return. hey would confront a united front.

HE WOKE WITH A START, reaching for his laser pistol out of habit. Tiberius blinked to see Simone slipping into his bed. “Is everything okay? Are the Sventian Scourge back to attack us again?”

She shook her head, shyly slipping the strap of her nightgown off her shoulder in an enticing fashion. “I’ve missed you. Doc cleared you for duty, so I assume your little soldier is in top form too?” She grinned even as she blushed.

Tiberius smiled, realizing what she wanted. “Oh, yes, I’m ready for action, Doc.”

Simone giggled as she crawled into bed, her naked body pressing against his. “Good, because I’m in the mood for some rough and dirty sex. Can you handle that, soldier?”

He growled as he rolled her onto her back, pinning her wrists above her head. She winced, and he realized he’d overgripped with his new cybernetic hand. “Sorry, I’m not used to my new strength. Let me make it up to you.”

“Yes, please,” she whispered, her eyes wide with anticipation.

He kissed her deeply, letting go of her wrists so he could explore her body with his hands. To his surprise, the only difference between his bionic hand and his own hand was he could feel her skin even better. She drew in her breath, tremblingwhen he lightly tweaked her nipple with his cybernetic fingers. She shivered, and he asked, “Cold?”

She shrugged. “The bare metal is a little cold, but Izzy’s working on synthetic skin. It won’t always be possible to use it to cover enhancements, but it should work on a spot like your hand.”

“That would be nice,” he said, kissing her again before adding, “But I’m not sure I want to hide my hand. I’m proud of my new abilities. I can do things I never dreamed of before. I’m stronger, faster, and I have a built-in weapon. I’m a cyborg, and I’m damn proud of it.” Despite his words, he had a niggle of doubt. Would she be able to accept the changes in him? Was she contrasting his current body with the one he’d had the last time they made love?

She must have sensed his doubt, because she reached down, stroking his cock, which was already hard and throbbing. “You’re still the same man, and I’m not afraid of the changes. I know you’ll never hurt me, and I trust you. I’m just glad I didn’t lose you. I don’t care if you’re a cyborg, a robot, or a human. You’re alive, and that’s all that matters. Now, stop talking and fuck me, Tiberius.”

He laughed as he grasped her wrists again. “You mentioned hard and rough?”

She moaned and wiggled against him, lightly testing his grip. “Yes, please.”

He kissed her, then flipped her onto her stomach, pulling her up to her knees. He slapped her ass, and she yelped. “Harder.”

He spanked her again, and she groaned. “More.”

He grinned as he positioned his mouth near her ear. “I’m going to fuck you hard and fast, and I’m not going to let go of your wrists. If you need me to stop, say ‘lunar.’ Do you understand?”

She nodded, her breathing heavy with excitement. “Yes, I understand. Fuck me, Tiberius. Fuck me hard.”

He pressed the head of his cock against her wet opening, teasing her for a moment before thrusting deeply inside her. She cried out, her pussy clenching around him as he filled her. “Oh, god.”

“Did you change your mind?” he asked near her ear again.
