“Well, that many years is more than I could hope for. I never knew if I’d make it to tomorrow. Plus, I’m in my twenties. I would be lucky to make it another fifty years on Earth. If I can’t go home, I want to live down here. Away from the Aavvee. Where it’s safe.”
“You only live to seventyyears?” He hugged me from behind, almost knocking us off the platform. His arms and spikes descended, sealing me to his chest. “That is so short. I’m so sorry, my beautiful Earther. So fragile, so small, so soft… so delicate,” he whispered my faults like a chant as we whizzed through the forest, a band of cute monkey-like animals hooting at us as we whizzed by.
Veras smelled so good. It heightened the pleasure of his embrace. I enjoyed the touch. Craved it. But amidst the haze, I sensed something else. He’d dismissed my plans, yet I felt his concern and held him tight as his heart raced. I smoothed my hands over his arms, wondering just how long he could live. Sadness kept me from asking the question because his determination to pretty much murder everyone, or allow the Guardians to do it, battered at me as we silently whizzed by.
Eventually, we passed through another buttery forcefield and entered the laboratory section of the outpost. Room after room was packed with alien-looking supplies and technology. We eventually stopped in a section that resembled a bunker, with winding tunnels and hundreds of doors. It should have been creepy, but after living in a cave for five years, not much spooked me anymore.
We exited, and I pried Veras’ arms off me so we could walk by his side. He held my hand and took me down a passageway cut out of the mountain. Golden vines lit the way. The place really incorporated the natural with the technological.
Passing through another forcefield, I noticed the golden tattoo on his arm lit up as we walked in.
He narrowed his eyes and bared his teeth, showing his sharp canines.
I reared back, but I felt his joy. Had he just smiled at me?
“My little General. Always strategizing.” He walked down into a larger room, strangely blank, all a monochrome milky-white color. “I will take care of you. Do not worry.”
I was being dismissed, and I hated it. I purposely turned away and pulled my hand out of his. See how he liked it.
He stood in front of me, blocking me from walking farther. “Look at me. I-I don’t do well when you are cut off from me.”
“Too bad.” But this time, I stared him in the eye and wanted him to feel my fury at being overlooked.
“I’m sorry, little one. I don’t mean to dismiss you. I’ve gotten used to doing things on my own. But since you’ve entered my life, you’ve made it so much brighter. I love the buzz of your mind, your complex emotions, your shouty thoughts. I want them all! Don’t deny me.” He stepped closer and enveloped me in his arms. When I didn’t respond, he rained kisses down my face and throat. “I don’t know what I’d do without you.”
“You’re about to find out,pendejo! I’m trying to help us…” My words trailed off when he fell to his knees in front of me, pressing fervent kisses on my breasts and stomach.
He tore open a hole in my pants. Before I could say a word, he swiped his tongue over my soaked entrance, and I screamed. The heat, the Oro, the slow glide of his thick tongue made me insane. Over and over, he lapped at me until I couldn’t stand it.
He was so intense. I had to admit, I loved it. I’d never felt so wanted, so adored. At least physically. But I let the anger guide the passion, fueling my need. We had so little time together.
“Take me. Hard. Fuck me, Veras. Now!” I grasped his face and sealed my mouth to his, groaning as I tasted him as well as my essence smeared on his tongue. “I want you.”
“Yes! You are mine. Always mine!” His pants were shredded and discarded in seconds, and he had my legs around his waist. Vinny was buzzing and slapping against my entrance, and Veras thrust, his fat cock stalling about halfway through.
“Again!” I gripped his shoulder and thrust against him.
Veras took the initiative and slammed my back against one of the smooth walls, jacking up his hips, harder and faster, until he stuffed his way inside.
I screamed when he started to vibrate, my inner walls contracting around him. I came and came… floating in bliss.
“I feel you. So tight. So good!” He pounded against me, licking my neck, sucking on my ear, even licking my face.
I didn’t care. I loved it. All of it. I rode my orgasm until I heard him groan.
“Can’t live without you. I can’t!” Veras roared his release and swirled his hard dick inside of me, the motion intensifying and extending my orgasm. We shared our pleasure, our minds fully connected for a brief moment. His pain and desperation swamped me, intensifying my sadness.
He said he couldn’t live without me, yet wouldn’t help me keep us together.
CHAPTER 13
We’d taken onlya few minutes to recover after that amazing quickie. God, I loved it hard and fast. And orgasms. And his talented tongue. Veras managed to find us new uniforms. They were stashed all over the place, and he’d taken me into one of the smaller rooms in the center of this part of the outpost.
But all too quickly, reality returned.
“This is how I’ll keep you safe.” Faster than I could process, Veras strode to a blank wall. His talented fingers swept over holographic images dancing in front of us. Distinct pictures appeared like living snapshots of different sections of the planet. The first image was the arena we’d been in the day before. Completely demolished, it looked abandoned, not one Aavvee or caged animal in view. But I did spy the tips of the circling tornadoes above the sturdy walls.
The Guardians. Deadly, yet still so gorgeous, stole my breath.
