As he exited the shuttle, the dangerous males that worked for the Thespers moved into position to prevent their escape. Once they were off the shuttle, his female moved into position beside him looking as courageous as he’d ever seen anyone look. Pride swelled inside him even as sorrow rolled over him.
They took a couple steps forward and the males took steps toward them. “Drop your weapons and get on your knees.” A loud voice instructed.
The males surrounding them looked at around as he did. These were not males he knew, but he recognized the black uniforms with a gray design. They were the special forces of Razar’s military. One of the males near them started to turn to shoot and dropped to his knees, a hole perfectly in the center of his forehead.
The Special Forces males moved in and many of the enemy immediately surrendered. They weren’t paid enough to give their lives in the service of their employers. “Sandria works quickly.” George joked.
It was obvious this was not Sandria’s work. This had been in place before they had even left their rooms. Perhaps Berri had warned Razar. If so he would buy him a drink. An officer approached.
“Glint?” He asked.
“Yes. You are?”
“Samuel. Razar wanted me to tell you George shares better than you do. She kept him informed of the information she had found. This allowed us to move into place. Night Song is waiting for you. You’ll be taken to Oison to debrief.”
They followed Samuel. Most of this team were humans, no surprise since the Mazlan numbers were small in comparison to humans. Even with phoenix in the military, the area Mazlan space encompassed was huge. Razar paid well enough to get only the best and brightest. The number of them he had to choose from was immense since the Earth’s military had collapsed.
While Razar protected Earth, he did so from a distance. Keeping peace on Earth was in the hands of those left living on her. It was sad that the planet had gone to hell, but at least some of her people had found refuge among the Mazlans. For now they were on a Mazlan shuttle headed to the Night Song. Apparently Sandria had already found these guys and was on a shuttle ahead of them.
The Night Song was Razar’s newest most high tech spy ship. She could also disappear and she had plenty of the latest weaponry. She was smaller than the other warships, but fighting wasn’t her main job. This sophisticated ship was made to slip in and out of anywhere to rescue people who were trapped like he, Sandria, and George had been. The ship was stealthy and managed to gather information everywhere she went.
Looking ahead in space, he saw nothing, but he knew she was there. Just before they entered the bay, the air wavered and he saw a hint of the ship. Once inside he saw everything clearly. “This ship rocks.” George whispered.
“It has tech we bought off the Zelfors. They have the top of the line electronics, computers, and communication equipment.” Samuel replied. “Razar wanted you to look at it to see if you could run it. The guys assigned there right now are barely adequate.”
George suddenly was full of energy. He could feel the excitement coming off her. It had been his hope they could have talked for a while. That didn’t look like it was going to happen now. “Where will we stay?”
“We only have two rooms and everyone else is doubled up. The ship is small. Divide up as you prefer between the three of you.” Samuel said.
He turned to look at George. “What do you prefer?”
“I guess I’ll hang with you. I’ve gotten used to it.” She replied. It was his hope he could convince her to get closer to him now that the mission was over.
“One of the rooms has two queen beds.” Samuel said.
“Glint and I will take that one and let Sandria take the other.” George said. Dare he hope he was growing on her?
Once they arrived they were escorted to their bedroom. “When would you like to be escorted to communications?” Samuel asked looking at George.
“Let me grab a change of clothes and take a shower. Do I need to call for an escort?” She asked.
“That would be best. There’s a buzzer inside your door. Ring whenever you’re ready.” Samuel said as they stepped into the room he’d opened. Turning, he hurried away.
There was no telling what was going on down on the planet. All the team that had saved them had left with them. He’d bet a dollar that Razar was about to send troops to keep the peace and ferret out spies on Bell View. Too many of those that had begged him to help them had now turned against him.
Only two choices were left, abandon them or occupy the planet. The last choice was best if he didn’t want to give the enemy a base in Mazlan territory. As far as he was concerned, he was glad to be out of there. His eyes moved to George who was looking at him.
“I guess you’ll have a break until we hit Oison.” George observed.
“In my dreams. It will be no time before they come up with something for me to do. Mark my words.”
George nodded in understanding and grabbed some clothes out of her bag before rushing into Thirty minutes later she came out of the bathroom fully dressed smelling of soap. “I guess I’ll go now.”
When she left he was alone with little to do. Maybe he wouldn’t mind a task assigned to him if she was going to be gone most of the time. For the next few hours, he watched a movie and rested on the bed thinking of George. It was almost a surprise when she came back.
“Done for the day?” He asked.
“I am. Want to get supper with me?”
Just like that, the first date, sort of, and she had asked him. They headed down the hall as he followed George to the cafeteria. The food smelled wonderful, better than usual on a warship. They got in line and the food available looked much better and had a larger variety than he normally saw.
“Ladonna and Patty took over running the cafeterias for Razar. All the guys are much happier. The food is healthier too.” George whispered.
“That was a smart move.” He admitted. Long overdue too.
They filled their plates. Even George ate more than usual. They sat with Sandria who was already at a table. Eating, they also carried on small talk until they were done with their food. At that point they walked to their rooms together until they reached Sandria’s first.
“Good night you two. Behave yourselves.” Sandria said as she slipped into her room.
“Like we could get into trouble here.” George said with a snort. It was obvious she didn’t understand what Sandria was referring to.
Moving down to their door, he opened it and she walked in ahead of him. “Samuel said we were meeting up with the Night Ghost. It will take us to Oison. The tech on this ship is amazing. He said they are putting the same systems on all the ships and on Oison.” George informed.
“I’d heard something about that. It seems the Thespers have more advanced tech than we currently do. That’s why Razar is desperate to get it done. Problem is we don’t have people that can run it.”
“I can. It is similar to some tech I used on Earth.” George admitted. “They bought it on the black market and it was very hush hush. It was no picnic to figure out but they put me on it full time and I wrote instructions for its use. I bet I can still access them.”
“If you could and you updated it, Razar would be a happy guy.” He teased.
“I think I can do that. Tomorrow, I’ll see if I can.” George said.
“What are we going to do tonight?” He asked.
“What do you want to do?” George asked innocently.
He couldn’t help himself. She stood close to him, close enough he could smell her delightful musky scent. Pulling her into his arms, he kissed her softly tasting those sweet lips he’d been driven crazy by for so long. If she pushed him away he would stop, but she didn’t.
Her lips opened under his tongue’s gentle exploration. The flavor of her mouth was spicy and sweet. It made him want more so his hands started an exploration of their own. George moaned as her arms wrapped around him and her body moved against him.
She
pulled back her wide eyes staring at him. “What happening here?”
“I feel something between us. I’m drawn to you and I’d like to explore that if you’re alright with it.”
George blushed a bright pink and she looked at the floor bashful. “I’ve never been around a guy romantically before.”
“I can take it as slow as you want.” She nodded and he pulled her back into his arms.
This kiss was just like the first one. It made his heart beat faster and his breathing speed up. Somehow he hoped to convince her to be his before they got to Oison. If they were mated before they got there, Razar would reassign them so they would be together. Usually a newly mated female could leave the service, but George was too talented for Razar to lose.
They snuggled as they watched a movie and when it was bedtime, he held her as they went to sleep. It wasn’t like they hadn’t slept in the same bed for two weeks. Only this time he held her as she slept. Possessive feelings washed over him as he went to sleep.
A few days passed and George had been working with the two communications officers several hours a day and updating the instructions on using the new equipment she had pulled off her old online account. He had also been working part time researching some of the leading citizens on Bell View and a handful of other planets Razar had determined were a concern. He didn’t mind working since George was busy anyway.
Their relationship had progressed, but not as quickly as he’d hoped for. They touched and kissed a lot, but hadn’t moved to the naked stage. When he thought about her, he ached and his cock was rock hard. It was his hope that tonight he would break through any reservations she might have and finally show her good they could be together.
“What is all this?” George asked when she entered their rooms.
He’d set up a romantic meal for her. The food was on the table with a candle in the center and bouquet of mixed flowers near it. That candle was scented and the perfume was sweet and light.
“This is for me?” She asked.
“I hoped you would like it.”
“It’s beautiful.”
Chapter 7
Getting Together
Never had she seen such a romantic table set for two. It was amazing that he’d gone through so much trouble for her. It made her feel bad that she was so shy and unsure of herself. She wanted to commit to him and let him make love to her, she just found herself backing away when he went past a certain point.
Maybe tonight would be different? She wanted to know what it would feel like to be truly made love to. “What are you thinking about so seriously?” Glint asked.
“You, just you.” She replied.
“I like that since I’m thinking about you.” He smiled at her so sweetly her heart hurt,
She was twenty-eight. Neither old nor young by human standards and ready to taste a part of life she’d avoided. If ever a male looked like he’d be gentle and ensure her pleasure, it was Glint. Her heart raced and her breath was hard to catch. Could she do this? Would she freeze in fear when he started and be unable to complete it as she had at other times?
“I believe I might be ready.” She said quietly.
Glint’s hands shook as he helped her to her seat. It was a good sign that he didn’t rush her to their bed. “I want this night to be perfect for you.”
Once he sat he began to remove the lids from everything on the table. She was unfamiliar with the dishes, but the smell now was stronger and oh so savory. “What is it?”
“I chose pork loin Capperi for you and veal Bolognese for me. If you don’t like yours, I’ll trade with you. I love both of them equally. Take a taste.”
Cutting a small portion, she popped it in her mouth and moaned. “This is heaven.”
His smile was beautiful. Glint was a gorgeous creature. His hair was dark for a Phoenix as it was a honey color. It matched the honey her mother had bought them from the local farmer whenever they had enough extra money to afford it. She sent her money home, almost all of it since she received most of what she needed as part of her job.
The Mazlans boarded, fed, and took care of the health needs of all their soldiers. Uniforms were adequately supplied including underwear and something to sleep in although many preferred to buy their own intimate wear once they made their first paycheck. Boots and one pair of shoes a year were also issued.
Razar had decided to do that when he found out how poor most of the humans he hired were. She’d always thought he was a kind male. Now she was sure of it. As a race, the Mazlans seemed nicer than most humans she’d met on Earth. Here where most needs were seen to, the humans she’d met were better.
Looking down, she realized she was almost finished with her meal. Even the asparagus and rice pilaf were nearly gone. “I’m glad to see you like it. Here’s a bite of mine. That way we’ll see if you like it for next time.”
She took it eagerly wanting to try this exotic dish. It was completely different yet just as good in its own way. “That was wonderful too.”
“Did you try the bread?” He asked.
She looked around the table and found a basket holding a white bread. Getting a piece and slathering butter on it, she was amazed at how different it was than the bread she’d had at home. Another piece was needed just to run a true comparison.
“It’s Italian bread.” He informed.
His dark golden eyes glowed with happiness at pleasing her. They reminded her of the embers that glowed as a fire died down. It was then that she realized many of his kind were named after something that had to do with fire. Even Tar who was named after something that fueled fire. She wondered why, but was too busy enjoying her meal to ask. Especially when he presented dessert.
“This is Tiramisu ala Michael. It’s good before, but add the coffee liqueur and it’s fabulous.” He set it in front of her and watched as she took her first bite.
She moaned in pure delight. “This is amazing. How do you know so much about food?”
“Phoenix are what Ladonna calls foodies. She says it’s an Earth term so maybe you are familiar with it?” He asked.
“I’ve never heard it, but going just by the word itself I guess it means you guys like food of all kinds?”
“Exactly. Since I’ve been around Ladonna I’ve added to my recipes books. I asked her for some suggestions and I tried them out before I had the kitchen fix them for us.”
“That girl knows her stuff. I’ve never eaten so much at once.” She eyed her half eaten dessert. “Will it keep for later?”
“Of course. It will keep for a while. What do you want to do now?” He leered at her.
“I believe you know.”
He moved to her giving her a hand up out of her chair before pulling her into his arms. His smile was purely sexy before his lips lowered to hers. Gently at first, his mouth ate hers up. The kiss turned into a claiming one that scorched her with its heat. All she could do was melt in his arms.
Somehow they’d moved to the bed and as his kiss held her attention, his arms stripped her bare. She realized it when she felt a cool breeze
Roll over her naked body. It wasn’t long before he was naked too. Even if they stopped now, they’d moved past any point they had ever reached before. But she didn’t want to stop. His skin felt smooth and warm and the muscles beneath strong and firm.
A perfect body was what she saw when she pulled back to take a look. His cock was long and thick, which gave her cause for concern. “It will fit. By the time we’re ready for it to go in, you’ll want it there too.” She shot him a look of doubt. “Go ahead and touch it,”
She did as he directed and her fingers traced over it. The skin was silky, but it was hard and dripped at the end. Inexperienced as she was, it was still clear he wanted her. Her hand covered his shaft and she stroked it. Glint hissed with need and pleasure making her feel powerful. This time she was ready and they would go all the way.
He helped her onto the bed then he joined her. His mouth touched every inch of her body then
moved back to her breasts which he gave particular attention to. Once her nipples were so sensitive she thought she’d scream, he moved lower licking her all the way down to her thighs. His face moved into her nether region where she swore he inhaled her scent from the sniffing sounds. His hands moved to her lips pulling them open then he blew on the inside of her pussy.
God! She shivered and the anticipation of his next move made her grow wetter. He touched her with his tongue and she almost came unglued jerking away but he grabbed her and pulled her back. Nothing in this world had prepared her for the feeling of his finger sliding into her as his tongue slid over her clit.
It was heavenly and he added a finger that her body accepted without a problem. Her thighs now rose aiding him in pushing deeper into her. One more finger was added and his tongue was driving her wild. Suddenly a feeling of pure pleasure rolled over her and she screamed out her pleasure as he continued to pump his fingers into her until she calmed down. He allowed her a moment to catch her breath and let her heart rate slow. Now he began to get her excited all over again. He took the head of his cock and rubbed it against her pussy lips.
Heat spread through her as she was certain from his growls and groans that he felt as excited as she was. He joined them in one hard thrust and their bodies moved in the oldest dance known. It felt so good it almost made her cry as she found her release first and he followed as each screamed the other’s name. Lying together, he was wrapped around her and they easily fell asleep together.
It was a few hours later when he woke before she did. He slid his hands over her breasts and cupped them. “That feels nice.” She said in a sleepy voice as she had just been woke by his touching her.
“Just nice?” He asked as he continued to play with breasts and seemed fascinated with the weight and size of them.
Glint pinched her nipples and then lowered his head. She gasped as he licked first one nipple then the next making each harden. Sucking one into his mouth as he tweaked the other caused her to arch against him. One hand held a breast as the other slid down the flat plateau of her stomach forcing her to moan.
