C- Sizzling

by Jessie Rose Case

  She nodded. “That’s true.”

  “Are you not afraid that you could be injured or killed. Humans are fragile?” he asked her. Elenor realized she wasn’t. She ……..expected it.

  “No. It will either happen or it will not.” She looked around her seeing the work to still be done. “Time to go, animals need feeding.”

  C pushed his troops on. It was getting dark and they needed to be back at the community farm by nightfall. They’d found a number of signs that indicated people had been out in the territory. At each sign, he’d sent a team to follow and report back. Either using neuro net capabilities or datapad link. They’d found nothing so far, but tracks were leading in the same direction and they needed re-supplying. It was hot as hell and they couldn’t carry or recycle enough water. Food they could do without if they had to. Having mapped the signs, they made their way back to the community. The CCGT had told him no one was out there from the farm or community. So they had intruders.

  C assessed the data as they moved back towards the farm. It looked like they had a number of groups on the ground all coming from the one source. Each one had at least eight sets of tracks, moving fast with various directions. They hadn’t found any ship. From the direction of the tracks, logic told him that it was in the mountain area somewhere, probably damaged if it tried to land there. There was no intel on who ‘they’ were, but it was clear they were searching, possibly lost or looking for a target.

  The farm lit up in the landscape ahead of them. The sun cresting the horizon as it started to drop. Lights started to come on around it lighting the farmland and the central buildings. “Communicate with Torc. We’re coming in.”

  Athena rushed into the dining room. “We have the troops coming in. Be here in around 10 minutes. The bunks and showers are all ready for them. Could you help me dish up dinner and make the provisions for tomorrow?” she asked rushing past her towards the kitchen. Elenor nodded finishing off the last of her own meal, then stood.

  “What do you need me to do?”

  “The meat and vegetables are ready to go, I’ve already put them on. I need bread, a lot of it cut up and buttered. Then if you could cut up all that salad, dress it and put it on the tables that would be great. There’s cheese to go out too.” Elenor deposited her plate and got to work.

  Cyborgs ate a lot. As much as would feed two or three human men. They burned it up quickly. Or their nano’s did. High protein rations were used out in the field, but it wasn’t very nutritious. They relied on good healthy food to make up the difference. Elenor could see they had more than enough here. Athena had crammed in as much as she could.

  She moved quickly putting out jugs of juice and water. Laid the tables of twelve several times over. She knew teams liked to sit together, the team leaders and commander sat on their own. The Cyborg crossed her mind and she bit down on her lip to stop her body from responding. She chopped and sliced filling loads of salad bowls then dressed them quickly, taking them over to the tables. Then cut large slices of fresh bread from a table full of it and buttered them before putting everything on large platters, on the ends of each table. Going back to the counter, she picked up two large cheeses for each table and placed them out, going back several more times until there was one on the end of each table.

  She just finished when the doors opened, and Cyborgs started coming in. “Take a seat anywhere you want. Drinks, salad, cheese and bread are on the tables help yourselves, dinner is nearly ready.”

  She ran quickly back into the kitchen to help Athena. “They’re here.” Athena nodded.

  “I need you to check the meat in the ovens.” Elenor picked up the gloves and opened the first door, heat poured out. Pulling the dish forward, it was full with huge slabs of beef. Grabbing the carving fork, she pierced each one in the center, making sure they ran clear with a little blood. She moved onto the next and did the same, then the last oven. They were all good.

  “Done,” she called out and went to pull the last meat tray out completely. A hand and arm appeared to stop her.

  “I’ll take it.” His gravelly voice told her. Elenor stilled as goosebumps slid across her body and looked at the hand, then the arm, then the shoulder, and lastly his face. He was all too near. She stepped back quickly. Not sure why he was there and not outside where he belonged. Confused she gave a nod and went back to the other ovens and started to pull another one out. She placed it on top and it was whipped away before she’d got a chance to move it. She stared at his retreating back getting annoyed, then went to the last one and pulled that meat tray free. He was back and taking that from her too.

  “Err you’re not meant to be in here. Thank you but you cannot be in the kitchen. You can go back outside now so we can prepare this to serve.” She was being churlish, but she couldn’t have him in the kitchen. It was already way too hot, and he wasn’t making things any easier. His nearness was just too much for her.

  C stood and stared at the female. She didn’t like him doing things for her. It was illogical and an unnecessary emotion. “You are illogical. I am able to carry the meat far easier and quicker.”

  Elenor frowned. “Ok, but you still need to leave the kitchen.” He seemed to waver for a moment or two, then walked out.

  “Well that was interesting,” Athena told her, nodding in his direction as he left. Elenor watched him go. She didn’t find it interesting at all. It was bloody annoying.

  “I’ll cut up the meat.” She told her getting down to it.

  C sat at his table with his team leaders and watched the two females in the kitchen behind the counter. They worked efficiently to carve up the meat and serve it up in huge platters along with what they were serving with it. Leaving it all in hot trays, what he knew to be gravy was added to the meat. The smells were delicious. The food clearly good and nourishing. He was glad to see it. His men needed the nutrition. Serving implements were put on the trays, ready for his men to help themselves. They were already tucking into the salad, bread, and cheese.

  When he’d first scented her around the room, logic told him she had to still be here. He’d looked for her, then picked up the delicate notes of her unique scent coming from the kitchen. He’d been surprised to see her working with the food and couldn’t stop himself from going to her aid. The action wasn’t logical. He knew she could have carried the meat, if heavy, to the serving table. His data told him he’d wanted to do it for her. C frowned.

  It was an emotion he had not triggered. This time he knew he wasn’t faulty. He looked at the female again. It was her.

  Chapter Four

  The Cyborgs queued at the counter and filled their plates. Elenor put out the trays of dessert Athena had made at the end. A kind of apple and peach crumble and a sauce to go with it stood in jugs. Several piles of dessert dishes and spoons stood with it. The Cyborgs were serving themselves to the main course and she checked to see they had enough out. It looked good. She tried not to look at who was in the line or who was eating where. She didn’t need any more reminders that he was there. She knew instinctively that he was.

  Having cleaned up her area and checked that Athena was good, she walked outside. She needed some air. She’d go back when they were done and start on the field provisions later, she told herself. Elenor breathed in the cool night air and walked down the steps taking a seat on one of several chairs scattered about along the side of the building. The sounds of the night all around her.

  “Have you eaten female?” Elenor turned incredibly towards him. Was he following her? He stood a small distance away not crowding her. She hadn’t heard him arrive at all and it was just another reminder of how quietly they walked. To be there meant he wasn’t in the queue eating and instead, had decided to follow her.

  Elenor wasn't sure she liked it. “I had my food before you arrived. You should eat before it’s all gone,” she told him.

  “Why do you have two Cyborg guards?”

  Elenor shrugged. “My
mother, Laura, Kane, take your pick.”

  “You are important to the community and you are cleaning and cooking in a kitchen. It is illogical.”

  Elenor laughed and stood, she could do without the ‘logic’ conversation right now. “Illogical or not, it helped to provide your dinner,” she shooed her hands at him dismissively annoyed at the implications, “best go get it before it’s all gone Cyborg.” She stormed off in the direction of her lodgings but didn’t get too far before she was body checked very carefully, one arm around her shoulders his hand on the back of her head to protect them from the wall she impacted.

  Elenor drew in a sharp breath. “It is not wise to challenge a Cyborg.” He whispered in her ear close enough that she could feel the heat of his body surrounding her.

  Elenor tried to keep her breathing under control. This Cyborg affected her every time he was near her. He was too close, he’d moved so quickly so silently. She’d only felt him at the end as he’d pulled her gently into him and maneuvered her with her back to the wall.

  “It’s not wise to challenge me.” She bit off and went to pull away.

  He slammed his hand on the wall beside her head, caging her in. He was hanging over her, standing head and shoulders above her. She could see he was breathing hard, hanging onto his control. Every instinct in her told her not to push, that he was struggling, and the situation was dangerous, her body shivered in response. Her nipples hardening. To her shock she liked it and her mind froze. What the hell was she doing?

  “You have no claim on me.” She threw out there without thinking.

  C was lost. His logic failed him. He had a claim! cried out across his mind. He tried to hold his nature back. Tried for control but his emotions were off, and he had nowhere to go. His logic failed him. Her scent swam around him and he wanted all of it. For three days he’d lived with her in his mind and body. She’d told him he had no claim on her and it raged through his mind. Roared how wrong she was. He knew it to be his animal DNA taking over and breathed deeply, succumbing to the deliciousness of it. Mine, his mind cried out, shattering under its embrace.

  He had tried to warn her not to provoke him, not to challenge him, had told her to leave…… and then he caught the slightest delicate note of her arousal.

  The female tempted him! crashed through his sensors. She was his! She had not denied him and challenged him. He grabbed her around the neck and yanked it to one side, pulling her clothes free of her neck and bit, deeply. Blood flowed into his mouth as she cried out and clung to him. C roared at the first taste of her blood on his tongue as he drank her into him, holding her tightly against him. She was his and would submit!

  Elenor stood clinging to him. Shocked by her own lack of action. The feel of him around her and his large bulging arms in her hands were overwhelming. Her neck sore for an instant before the tingling started. He’d bitten her! It was a Cyborg bonding action. She knew it and had seen its effects many times. A mating response to her challenge. What the hell was she thinking? She only had to say no to deny him but said nothing!

  Elenor sighed unable to deny how much she liked the feel of him against her body and could kick herself. He moved in closer, the hardness of him rubbing up against her. She knew better than to provoke a Cyborg male and she’d done anyway! Why? Had she wanted this? She closed her eyes feeling his body moving against hers.

  “You tempt me female.”

  Grasping her hand, he laid it over his hardened cock and rubbed it up and down the length of it. “Feel me,” he whispered as he lapped at her neck. She knew the nano’s were healing the bite, his tongue rough on her skin. Her nipples hardened. She could already feel the nano's working together and knitting her skin. Her hand slipped into his silky hair and held him to her as he kissed along her neck. The feel of him so good in her other hand.

  C took that as acceptance. He bent and lifted both her legs and hooked them around his waist, getting better purchase on her body. He moved in and positioned her over his cock and moved against her. Touching her just right. The female moaned clinging to him. C moved one hand to her neck and the healed bite, he had a strong need to connect to it while he rubbed hard against her. His female needed him. Her mewing and breathing telling him everything he needed to know. Her scent full of desire.

  Grasping the top of her shirt he ripped it open. Exposing her breast to him. The female started to move against him of her own accord. Showing him how much she needed this from him. C cupped her breast, its hardened nipple coming alive at his touch. He moved faster against her as he played. She cried out in frustration, moving closer to him.

  C knew she needed more. The female was fighting for her own release. Needed it. He bent in search of her breast and took it into his mouth and lathered the nipple with his tongue. Then nipped it. She exploded crying out under his touch, filling the air with the scent of her cum. C tasted it on his tongue gripping her hard drawing it into him. Slowing his pace he moved more slowly against her riding out the pleasure flooding her. He had never seen anything so magnificent in his life. The look of pure satisfaction on her face. He wanted her cum not just in the air around them but in his mouth, on his tongue drinking her down.

  Pulling his lips from her breast he went back to playing with it. He liked the feel of her in his hands. “Fuck female. You taste better than any meal. Next time you come it will be in my mouth with my tongue deep inside you.” He grasped her face to look at him. It was pleasure soaked as she continued to ride the wave crashing through her. A smile creasing her lips. He had pleasured her, and it made her happy. It seemed important to him. He placed his forehead on hers needing the contact. He had emotions he could not explain.

  “Are you trying to kill me female? I asked you not to provoke me and you did so deliberately. It is not logical.” He was stating a fact and it was true, she couldn’t argue with that. She didn’t want to think about it. He’d rocked her world and she loved it! She knew he hadn’t acted to hurt her but to claim. Her mind swam in a sea of pleasure and exhilaration wanting to dismiss the importance of it and wallow, but it was a sharp reminded of the significance of the action and cleared the euphoric high he’d just given her. His words ringing in her ears. Reality crashed over her. What had she just done?

  Grief and guilt hit her. Her guilt telling her it wasn’t right to feel so much when so many hadn’t lived. Hadn’t had the chance to feel such pleasure. Elenor felt like screaming out…..it was too much. She didn’t want to think, didn’t want to feel and he ……. made her do all of that and more. She couldn’t deny it. She had wanted it and enjoyed it. What was wrong with her? Where was her conviction now?

  She could hear the confusion in his voice, she was too. Then he pulled back to look at her, carefully inspecting her neck. “I had not meant to do this. It is well, my nano’s have healed it. It seems my control even with my emotional chip turned off, is not good around you. I must take the responsibility for this. It is my duty. But you need to go back to the community,” he told her gently, stroking her neck where he’d bitten her. “It’s not safe here.” He kissed the bonding mark and breathed in. "This looks right on you female...."

  Elenor fought with herself to reject this. Had she tried hard enough to hold back her reaction to him? she wondered. Already knowing the answer, her body had betrayed her. She’d wanted to feel it, wanted to feel the pleasure in her body and lose herself in it for just a moment. Just a moment to forget…. And then he’d scented her desire and it had been electric. Her body sparking off it. The thought of it heating her body with her desire again and she couldn’t hold it back. He growled. “I scent you female, your desire, your need. It draws me as does your fire.”

  His hand moved in between their bodies and he cupped her, then slipped past her panties and explored her. His finger found her entrance and pushed in, using his hand to replicate that delicious motion her body craved. Elenor moaned, it was too damn good. Her passions were rising again, and she would be in desperate need to come again and soon.
/>
  Enjoy it! Her body told her. Her mind warred with her body. It would be so easy to give in to that rising tide of emotion flooding her, but she told herself she was better than this. She didn’t need him, didn’t want it! she berated herself. And knew it to be a lie. What she’d done was stupid but she wasn’t taking it back.

  His movements got faster, the pressure harder. Elenor held back a groan. She wanted to come, needed it. She knew they’d be no arguing with him, not now. He was making a claim and he’d been right, she knew better than to have provoked him into making a challenge. She started to ride his hand, her nails digging in to his arms, in need of finding her release. He increased his pace and went with her, plowing his fingers into her and circling her clit. Reading her need, he moved faster and faster until it was just out of her reach, then he leaned forward and bit her bonding mark and Elenor's second climax slammed into her.

  Elenor clung to him. Heart pounding, breathing laboured. Unimaginable pleasure engulfing her. How had this happened? She blinked through the vail catching her breath. It was too heady, too much. He brought passion out in her she’d not known before and she got scared. Suddenly feeling smothered, she knew he would be in her if she didn't stop this before it went too far and if he was in her, she was mated. They’d be no stopping it. He’d made his interest in her clear. If she wanted away from him now, she would have to agree to go. He was too close, her emotions too overwhelming, his heat too enticing, too everything.
