Standing, he grabbed the hem of his T and pulled it over his head, Coco’s sharp intake of breath telling him all he needed to know. He could taste how turned on she was. He dropped it to the floor as her hands started to explore his body. She flipped her hair over her shoulder as she moved around him touching muscle after muscle. Planting a kiss here, a kiss there. As she came back around, her hands explored down his torso. Abel took her hands and placed them on his waist band, then pushed them all the way down. His cock free and clear and in need of her touch.
Surprise flared in Coco’s eyes. She’d had that inside her? She was lucky she was still breathing! Able started to laugh, his cock jumping with each contraction. Coco looked up into his face a little amused herself.
I can hear you baby. Embarrassment creep across her face. He reached out and touched it with his fingers. Do not ever, be embarrassed about anything between us. This is precious to me. All of it. Coco smiled and gave him a nod.
He picked her up and kissed her hard. She challenged him, responding with equal passion. Duelling for dominance, exploring and searching. Wrapped herself around him as he took her down to the bench, in one swift movement he was inside her and pounding. They’d be no holding back now. He would spill this time. His seed demanding release. He’d held on so long, he could smell how fertile she was, how ready she was and how wildly, it called to him. He was so consumed with their joint essence flowing back and forth, carrying the intoxicating allure of his mate scent and passion, all reason suddenly left him. He was all Cyborg now and he would take what was his.
Coco clung on to Abel and the seat. She felt the moment a switch clicked, and the Cyborg rose his head, above the emotion of Abel. His movements became harder, stronger, deeper. He gripped her thighs in his hands and pounded into her. Her body bouncing with every impact as she held on. Her own passion, mixed with his was overwhelming. She clung on, her nails digging in. She ground herself against him as his pace increased. She’d never experienced anything like it. A fleeting sense of worry crossed her mind as he continued to dominate her body. Coco realised it was Abel. He was worried he was hurting her, then it was pushed aside and the Cyborg determination was back. Even in his driven state, she realised he worried for her. Coco reached up and grasp his neck pulling him down towards her.
He looked into her eyes. I want it all, she told him.
Chapter Six
Abel had reluctantly left his mate sleeping and got back to work. He’d eventually taken her back to his quarters, their quarters now, and reminded her she’d asked for it all, and it was his pleasure to make sure she got it. A smiled crawled across his face. They had both enjoyed it. Coco had been a real surprise, more than he could have hoped for in a mate. Not only was she open with him, but had willingly shared her emotions and desires, told him what she wanted from him, what she liked and what he needed to give her. It only deepened their enjoyment together, as he did just that.
No other Cyborg had shared experiences on that level. Other mates were human without the cybernetic implant. What Bridget had done by mistake, had given them a whole new level of intimacy. When they were joined, it was both physically and mentally. It was precious and special. He knew he would need to share some of the experience, so others would understand but he would hold close, just what it meant to him.
Abel walked onto the Bridge of his ship, took his seat and uploaded the latest data. They were on schedule for the Space Station. He reviewed the latest communication from the Admiral, it was 12 hours old. He congratulated him on finding his mate and wished him well. Reminded him that she had to see Mac on arrival to make sure she was not harmed, and Kim wanted to meet her. Abel cringed. Kim was a handful. If she got her spoon out, he was in trouble. He liked her. She was a good match for the Admiral, she kept him in line. Which was a surprise to all of them, including the Admiral.
He moved on to the one from Pain on communications with the other worlds who were interested in giving a home to the colonists, there were a number of attachments for the colonists to see, then Dark vid call on security. It looked like everyone was taking a hand on making sure this group found a good home at last. Abel wasn’t surprised. They all understood these people had been through enough and were lucky to be alive at all. It was another thing Earth Corp would answer for.
He sent his replies, then moved onto ships systems and issues. A list came up. He sighed. Just as well he’d come in early, he thought. He had every intension of supporting Coco that evening with Hodges and then, feeding her and taking her back to bed and fucking her until the sun rose. He still had plenty to show her.
***
Coco couldn’t believe how quickly the day had gone. Abel had given her plenty to think about and feel the night before. She didn’t mind admitting, she’d been disappointed not to wake that final time, and find him ready for her again. That man had stamina! she recalled smiling. He’d exhausted her several times in the night. Explored every inch of her. She’d particularly liked him fucking her from behind, her hair wrapped around his hand, him pulling on it as he rammed into her. It had been so dam good. Each time she’d come, it was hotter and hotter. Coco didn’t bother holding back her grin. Had sex ever been that good? she asked herself. Hell no, she reflected walking towards the group already in place at the entrance of Hodges level.
“Everything ready?” she asked Chas.
“It is.” Abel answered. She turned and found Abel behind her. Coco shook her head.
“Your so dam quiet when you walk.” He grabbed her and kissed her hard, caressing her breast.
“I missed you too.” He told her letting her go. Coco bounced around a little catching her breath trying not to look like a grinning moron and failing.
She pulled herself together. They had a plan and it needed to work. If Hodges or his men caught on too soon, there was no telling how this was going to end.
“I’m ready,” she told him.
“Right, just how we planned. Don’t go off script. If it looks like it’s going south, you leave immediately.” He told her. Coco nodded. Turned to her escort and walked to the entrance and engaged the locking pad. The door opened and she walked through.
“Good evening everyone.” She called out. Several people turned in her direction including Freda. “We’re here to do the vaccinations. As women and children are the most vulnerable and will need monitoring, we are doing those first. If I could have a line here please, we’ll get to work.”
Hodges stepped forward. “And why do we need vaccinations? We’re not a risk to anyone, we’ve been isolated for over 80 years.” He snarled.
Coco nodded. “Your right, we have been isolated for over 80 years and that’s the problem. A lot has happened in the universe in that time. There are a number of contagions that Earth Corp are responsible for, that are out there. There’s no telling who’s infected and who’s not. People move about, so the Empire has set up a vaccination schedule, and anyone who comes to one of their worlds gets it free. As a result, there are no plagues, no black death. It works and keeps everyone safe. No vaccination, no planet or travel, and the only other option is taking your chances on the fringes with the pirates. You don’t have to have it.” She shrugged.
Several women stepped forward, “I’m taking the vaccinations and so are my kids,” one of them told her, then walked over to Coco with her kids in tow, all the others fell in line.
“Ok, in family groups, one at time, when I tell you to, step through the doorway, you will be escorted to the medical bay. You will be observed for a couple of hours to make sure there are no adverse problems from it and escorted back. Snacks and drinks will be available, games for the children. When I call your name, step forward with your children.” She waved the women forward. Started at the top of her list, from the original loading on the planet. She called the first name and the woman stepped forward with two children, Coco checked off the three, then told them to walk through the door way. She called the next one forward and did the same. This conti
nued until all the women and children were gone and her list empty. As she checked them off, she followed the last group out and the doors closed behind her.
Coco moved quickly following the women in to the cargo bay. They were standing around looking confused. Freda came over to her with her boys. “Thank you.” Coco squeezed her hand.
“Don’t thank me yet, it’s not over.” She turned to the group and Abel lifted her onto a crate, so she could see everyone. “Ladies, if I could have your attention.” The noise level dropped. Coco looked over and gained eye contact with all of them. She smiled. “There is no vaccination on this ship. You will need to be medically scanned as soon as possible but medical will come to you on board here to do that once we arrive at the Space Station. The real reason you are all here, is because it was made known to us, that some of you are having difficulties being in close proximity with others.” She gazed over all the adults. “We are here to help with that. Anyone who wishes to reside with another group for the duration of this voyage can do so. You only have to ask, and we can make that happen right now. For obvious reasons, we couldn’t give you advanced notice. Freda will move amongst you, talk to her freely and let us know your decision.”
Several women started crying, others hugged each other, some got annoyed at the subterfuge. Coco gave them time to talk. It didn’t take long. Nearly two thirds asked to be moved. Abel stepped forward. He stood head and shoulders with her.
“We are not saying that all of you have a problem. It’s not for us to make that judgement, but there is no going back from this. Whatever your decision is, it is for the rest of this journey and for longer if that is what you want. But, we can’t do this twice, it wouldn’t work. However, if you choose to go back, someone will continue to visit twice a week as Coco has been doing, and if you want to leave, you can ask, but we all know, that’s going to be harder to do. So be prepared ladies, once the men find out this has been done, they are likely to close ranks and not let any of you out of their sights. So, leaving after this might not be possible.”
Women started taking seats and talking, moving in small groups. Coco motioned the drinks and snacks forward. The women she’d brought in from the other levels distributed them and talked with them. They all knew each other to some degree. She wanted to give them as much time as possible. She knew that for some, this was a big decision.
Abel helped her down and she took a seat, sipping the coffee he handed to her. “You ok?” He asked, she nodded.
“I feel like a home wreaker,” she whispered. Abel squeezed her shoulder.
“They asked for your help and your giving it to them.”
Eventually Freda came over. “Most want to move. I’ll have a list for you soon.” She nodded and Freda walked back to her group.
In the end, it was a long list of those who wanted to move. All but five women and children chose to move levels. Including Hodges and both his brothers and cousins. Those wanting to move were handed off to Abel’s men along with the women from those levels, and they escorted them back. The reminder would be going back to Hodges level. These women appeared to be on the fridges of Hodges people. They kept to themselves. Coco wondered if Hodges would let that be, once he realised his wife wasn’t coming back. She’d pulled the women to one side and spoken to them about it. They said they knew the risks but wanted to be with their husbands. Coco had nodded, understanding their need to be with their men and wished them luck. Abel would be taking the lead on taking them back. She would be going with him but staying in the background, there was no telling how the news was gonna go. Not too well, was her guess.
They approached the doorway to Hodges level. Coco felt uneasy. She opened her mental box to Abel. Be careful, she whispered. Cyborg remember. Coco rolled her eyes as Abel engaged the pad and walked through with his men. She followed on behind.
They would deliver the news before the women came back in. If it was going to kick off, they didn’t need women and children getting caught in the cross fire. Not that the colonists had been allowed to keep weapons on board the ship. They’d been removed and locked away, but Coco could guess that Hodges and his people hadn’t given them all up.
Abel stepped forward, making himself a bigger target. Coco didn’t like it, although she appreciated that he was going out on a limb for her people, if it put him in danger, she didn’t want to go through with it. I am not in danger, he told her. I can be shot many many times and not die. Coco didn’t find that at all comforting.
“Gentleman. There has been a change of plans. Some females and their off spring have requested to be moved to another level. We have facilitated that today. For the rest of this journey, those women and children will not, be returning to this level. What they choose to do after we arrive at the Space Station, is up to them.” Complete uproar ensued.
Men were shouting and screaming, inciting action, making threats, demanding to see their families. Several were moving in the back ground going in and out of rooms telling others. Hodges was screaming for his wife, so were plenty of others. The atmosphere was tense, aggressive and violent. Coco moved to one side as Abel’s men filled in.
From out of nowhere, Hodges made a grab for her. She hadn’t seen him come around the group, or get behind Abel’s men. Coco elbowed him in the gut and kicked out at his shin, but he held on. Abel, she cried out. In that instant, Hodges got his arm around her neck and dragged her back as Abel turned. She’d never seen him look so deadly. I’m ok, she told him.
“I want my woman and all the others too,” he snarled pulling her back.
“You’re a bloody idiot,” she squeezed out. Stop talking, Abel told her.
“You want your women,” Hodges shouted, “I want mine, fair exchange.” The other men quietened down, realising something was going on.
“Let me be very clear,” Abel told him, holding on to his instinct to kill the male for laying hands on his female. “Every female that is not coming back, has asked to leave here. It was their choice. Their request. I can show you the recordings.”
“That’s true.” Came a voice from the doorway. Coco looked over to see Freda standing their alone. “We were sick of your behaviour.” She watched as Freda looked around the room at the men. “Showing our kid’s the worse of what men could be. Allowing them to think it right, to treat women like slaves, hit them, beat them up, rape them, make them do things they didn’t want to do. I’m not saying that’s all of you, I know some of you are good men and your women have their own reasons for wanting some space, but the rest of you, knew better, were brought up better and yet, you went along with it and some of you jumped on the band wagon, like it was nothing. We’re not nothing and its time we made a change. I will not be coming back and nor will most of the others. Five, said they will. If you treat them poorly, they will be gone too. The rest, are making a stand.”
Hodges tightened his hold. Coco pulled back, looking for room to breathe. “You will get your ass over here and get my wife and kids back or this one, gets what she desires.” He told Freda.
She shook her head at him. “Still trying to bully your way Colin? All this, and you still can’t see that its over. You don’t hold control here. They do.” She pointed to the Cyborgs.
“He’ll do what I say or he’s woman gets hurt. I could break her neck easy.” He spat at her.
“No,” Freda told him stepping forward with determination, “you’ll be dead before you get the chance. They could kill us all in an instant. They allow you, to continue to breathe, but once the decision is made, that you’re not worth the effort, your dead and your too stupid to know it. I hope they,” she pointed to the men gathered, “get that or their dead too.” The room went very quiet.
“Let her go Colin, or he can kill you.” Freda told him.
It had cost Abel everything to let this play out. His rage was out of control. He scented her fear. He wanted the male dead. His palms clenched to prevent him going for his weapon and killing them all. Every instinct in him cried out for
vengeance. To take the male’s life but he wouldn’t, for the sake of the female trying to save Coco and the rest of the men. She was a worthy female, trying to save lives. Her mate, wasn’t.
Coco felt Hodges hesitate. She threw her head back and connected with his forehead, his arm slipped, at the same time, she kicked back at him and connected with his knee, he staggered back as she pulled out of his arms. Abel moved like lightening and grabbed her out the way, pulling her behind him. One of his men, moved in and took her, moving her back further. I’m ok, she kept repeating. I’m ok.
Abel’s control snapped. He raced forward and grabbed the male by the neck. He could break it in an instant. It would take the slightest pressure, in the right place to do it. All that he knew before he moved. His logic giving him the quickest and easiest way to deal with the male.
“You are under arrest, for the attempt on the life of a member of the Empire. You will be tried, and your sentence will be carried out. We do not condone the use of force on others for personal gain. Remove him.” Several Cyborgs stepped forward and dragged him off.
Freda stepped forward. “I’m sorry that happened.” She told Coco as she rubbed at her neck.
“I’m ok but he will be charged and sentenced.” She told her sadly. Freda nodded and walked out.
Abel turned to the rest of the men. “That kind of behaviour ends now. Or we will end it for you.” He gave a nod to his man at the door and several women and children walked back in. “My men will remain on duty at all times from this point forward. Should anyone, cause a problem, they will be removed. Visitation with off spring will be arranged as long as their well being is guaranteed. Failure to do so, will result in no visitation at all.”
