“You have three crates of those, correct?” Rix scrolled through the inventory of the ship on his tablet.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcl499NICXB
“Yep.” I nodded. “Three. Two to go to Verner and one to go to Fist.”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPoFmmmYhv
He seemed to scroll through the list once more before being content and setting it down. “I think that’s everything. Are you heading out tonight?”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbtynG4lau
“Yeah. I was thinking I’d start out and then let EVO take over while I get some sleep since it’ll take a while. I should get there…”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2UQXiYMWn
“Late evening on Ferros tomorrow if you leave now, madam.” EVO answered.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6cAOTDdZg
“Late evening on Ferros tomorrow.” I smiled.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmsTMyXHvk
Rix shook his head. “I’m sure Fist’ll be happy to get the shipment. He’s been bothering me over it recently.” Rix chooses not to use the Trizrk’s preferred pronouns. Though that’s nothing particularly new to me, allowing me to blow past it.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeGBOBR5er
“I know.” I laughed quietly. “Zi even contacted me over it. I guess Fist’ll never understand how hard it is to steal from the military.” I smiled again before pulling the ship’s door open. “Imma head out. Catch you on the flip side, boss.” I threw him a lopsided smile before saluting, crawling into the ship, and closing the door behind me. I plopped down in the driver’s seat, starting the ship up as I waited for Rix to pull the warehouse’s door open.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYXcTDMaMl
Can’t get caught if you fly fast enough; that’s what I always say. Nothing to do with the military-grade scrambler Rix installed on the ship. I glanced out the window to look at the colony below. Not the nicest colony, but one that doesn’t ask too many questions. One that makes Rix and my smuggling that much easier. Meaning it’s the best place for the warehouse of stolen military goods.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tqxTOVvju
“Exiting atmosphere in five, four, three,” EVO began to count down, “two, one. You are now out of Hedron’s atmosphere, madam.”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKyCtgPEo2
“Cool beans.” I stood up from the chair, putting the ship in EVO’s control. “You’ve got the ship, EVO?” I walked over to the small bunk beds and sat down on the lower one.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYNUZld2Sq
“Yes, madam.” EVO spoke through the speakers on the ship. “We will arrive on Ferros in thirty-five hours and twenty-three minutes.”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfPFrxJtnX
“Thanks, EVO.” I pulled my boots off, sighing in relief. “Do I have any messages?”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUulfDeZWB
“Negative. You have no messages other than the ones you have blocked from Fist.”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJAfLNlTGW
I nodded. “Any news?”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVm8ITXClBL
“Major Hackett is getting awarded another medal, madam.”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6V795YYMJ
I shook my head. “Of course he is. Soon enough he’ll have so many he won’t be able to walk. I’m amazed that he hasn’t changed the gravitational pull with all those medals.” I ran my fingers through my hair. “I’m going to get some sleep; wake me up if you need me.”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTwQMe6uhM
“Yes, madam.”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KbLCKhKi9
I laid down, looking up at the bottom of the bunk. Of course he has another medal. Fucking spoiled brat.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHIoXcq6Ag
I was woken up by an alarm in my head, no doubt EVO had a reason for it. Or, at least, he’d better. I groaned, rubbing the sleep out of my eyes. “What?” It came out a bit more grumpy than intended.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8TqCFQQ2w
“It is time for your injection, madam.” EVO stated, causing me to sigh and sit up in the bed.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMz1K9eDVRg
“Fuck. How much longer until we get there?”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSvmslL0Ag
“Twenty-eight hours and two minutes until we break the atmosphere on Ferros.”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBU0UMTwL4G
“Great. Just enough time to recover.” I threw my legs over the side of the bed and got to my feet, before walking over to where I store the injections. I placed my thumb on the scanner before it opened with a broken air-seal hiss.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5N4UurIUR
“You only hand four left.” EVO informed me, causing a twinge of anxiety. I always hated having to pick up my meds. As I have an official residence, I have to get my meds from less than reputable sources. Usually, if he’s free, Rix will help me out with it, but when he doesn’t…
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOc1mJIBdOw
I shook the thought out of my head and grabbed out one of the injections. “I should probably make some food first.” I muttered to myself, walking over to the shelf with my selection of delectable dinners. “Noodles it is.” I grabbed out the bowl and placed it under the hot water dispenser, making sure it started before walking to sit back down on the bed. I took the cap off the injection and stared down the needle for a moment, always hating the way it feels. “Count down, EVO.”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgP7mGuhvG
“Three, two-”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6x7tc72ti
He was cut off as I stabbed myself with it, biting down on the pain. If the pain from the gnarly needle wasn’t enough, the medicine itself feels like ice in your veins. I took a few moments, breathing through the pain before finally feeling better. For now.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyy3eZzAHd
“Better eat before I end up passing out.” I glanced back over at my noddle dinner, admittedly not feeling like eating, but knowing I have to.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlw0vtVvYH3
“Do you have it?” Fist crossed zi’s two beefy arms above his large belly. Fist is another Trizrk, but unlike Vorian, zi’s a Ukkrt. Fist’s kind are allegedly more prone to violence and illegal activities. I’m not saying I agree, but at the least, Fist doesn’t help this stereotype.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTixqC8H8P
“No, I just lug around large crates with me usually.” I stood up straight, letting go of the handle on the crate. Most of us have language translators in one form or another, helping us communicate through different accents, languages, and slang. For me, EVO translates, which sometimes comes with a bit of sass.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPQYZw9Pqh
“Lose the attitude, Eos.” Zi tilted zir’s chin up. Fist is one of the few Trizk I’ve met that seem to spend most of their time with humans, meaning zir’s picked up on many of our mannerisms. “Check the crate.” Zi nodded toward his men, who promptly opened it and began to check the guns.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ovyG8cK5j
“They're all here boss.” One of the humans stood up, closing the top of one of the other crates.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VnGhNe28E
“Now, I just need the payment, and I'll be on my way.” I placed my hand on my hip.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAGY5wYuzY
“What's the rush, Eos?” Fist smirked, taking a step closer and grabbing my arm tightly.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9H172Cfg6
“Well, I've actually got a schedule to keep.” I shrugged. “Maybe some other time, Fist, but I need to go now.”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXKl2l5H6Y
“Madam.” EVO spoke up. “There is a man approaching the premises. Spectre Mallox. I suggest you leave before he arrests you.”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOZLElE274
“Shit.” I cursed. “Fist. I need to go. Let go of my arm.”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuA66CNmimS
Zi gripped on tighter as I tried to pull away. “You can’t keep putting me off, Eos. It’s starting to piss me off.”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0S0zK82202
“Madam. He will be here in less than thirty seconds.” EVO cautioned.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzywQ0kphxS
“Fuck.” I cursed again. I knew I didn’t have time to get away. Cops: no big deal. Spectre: big fucking deal. I was too late; the door was busted down, and in walked Mallox, the first human spectre. The legend. And pretty hot, I might add. If you’re into humans, this is.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsp3OS7MfrW
“I thought we talked about this, Fist.” Mallox strolled into the building like he owned the damn place.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUE6PYicGFP
“Mal--Mallox. It's so great to see you.” A guilty smile grew on Fist’s face, zi’s sharp teeth shown off on full display.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjk1n1MgM7
“I can't say the same.” Mallox walked over to one of the crates, kicking the top off and inspecting the guns. “An arms deal, huh? Who's the girl?” He looked over at me.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZCEGSkjM7
“Eos.” I crossed my arms.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsZRv6NUjn
“Are you the courier?”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzfCykaS97
“I’m-”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwX70kiYYR
I was interrupted by a loud crash as someone tried to run out of the room. Mallox pulled out his sidearm and shot the man, causing my eyes to widen.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRI4OpOY3F
Kinda happy he ran or else I might of got shot for my sarcastic comment that was coming. I silently sighed in relief.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cewO4CgO6
“Fist.” Mallox turned to him. “Round up your men. Unless you want another one dead.” He turned his back to Fist, looking at the crates again. “I need a pick up at my location. Fifteen men.” He spoke, obviously to dispatch.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTi8bDD12G7
“EVO. What do I do?” I asked quietly.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1m9VJOQb5
“I would suggest following Spectre Mallox’s orders, madam.”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkypXvQiXW
“Great…”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6ctK6QK5S
I sat in the chair in front of Mallox’s desk as he searched for some things on his computer. I rubbed my arm. “Do I get my one call?”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXncWtSSV8s
"No. You don't." He answered simply.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBlULaOAyH
I sighed. “Then you're just going to toss me into a cell? Lock me up and throw away the key?”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQgH5ECIK8
"No, I won't. As long as you do as I say."
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pOw36N6J1
I crossed my arms over my chest. “And what is it that I have to do? Sleep with you?”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cAV4xb9Pv
"That wasn't it." He narrowed his eyes, still not looking up at me.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyvwcHqGfp
“What is it then?” I rolled my eyes, glaring at the shelf of achievements behind him.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjV7t02xc1
"I need you to act as a decoy." He leaned back in his chair.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOkRK6FpFP
“Decoy? What...do you need me to do?” I looked back down at him.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbBFukqQyM
“That man you were making a deal with, you need to go to a meeting with his boss.”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXlHqhTQa3
I sighed. “How dangerous is it going to be?”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfooEMzk0jW
"Very. So you need to be careful."
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnkDzgmE17
“What am I going to have to do?” I looked up at him.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEMnrSn8Q7
“There's already a meeting set up. You'll be sent there with an item. You’ll do as we instruct.”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Fyg3R0Kr5
I nodded slowly. “And if I end up dead?”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIFaWdAOAS
"Then I guess we'll find someone else." He shrugged, still not looking at me.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsyUsqAJpe
“Such certainty.” I scowled
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbFTYIQHbC
“Stand up.” Mallox stood up and walked over to me. I did as instructed, looking up at him. Admiring his features. “You're going to stay in a cell here.”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zasOE55vN
“You have a cell in your private office?”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjfelkuRMq
“I'm a Spectre. Yes. I do.” He started to walk down a hallway.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtLhhvw6fl
“Are you going to just leave me alone in the building? What if I start choking or something?”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgywsXdFyFV
“Then I'll have to find a new decoy.” He stopped in front of a small cell. He really wasn't kidding.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjoW23AJ7K
I sighed. “Then I guess I'll try not to choke. Or maybe I will. Depends on how I feel tonight.”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MEqcwWeFe
“Stop talking and go in.” He motioned for me to go in. I did as he asked and he closed the clear door behind me. “I have some paperwork to do. I will be here for an hour or so more. If you're planning on choking, do it sooner rather than later.” He walked off saying nothing more.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccuDUstrmB
“EVO.” I sighed and sat down on the beach. “Send Rix a message.”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAWmpSzT6q
“Done, madam. But he is off world and the message may not reach him in time.”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFtBDZ72aH
“It’s all we can do for now.”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPkjldHbwQ
I walked into the club, the clutch in my hand. The bag only held a small chunk of Element Zero. Rare, dangerous, pricey, and illegal. “Madam.” EVO spoke. “This club is a dead zone. You will not be able to contact Spectre Mallox.”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Lj2xYzgAJ
“So...I could just run?”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftRSWGl6YU
“I would not recommend it, madam.”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMv2A9qPnxF
“Where am I going, EVO? I don’t know where the VIP room is.”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37TlDiXZ3E
EVO pulled up a map, highlighting a small room towards the back of the club. I began to walk through the hoard of dancing people. Normally a place like this would be my kind of thing. A place to lose yourself for the night, get blackout drunk, dance until you can’t feel your legs, and wake up the next morning in some stranger's bed, VODs being the only reminder of the night before. Right now, it all felt different. Though Maddox really didn’t tell me how dangerous this was, I knew. I knew what kind of guy Fist was. Zi didn’t fuck around, zi’d kill any of zir’s men who stepped out of line. I could only imagine what zi’s boss would be like.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnqheyW8fU
I stopped in front of a bouncer and looked up at him. Another Trizrk. Zi was at least five heads taller than me. “Lay off the steroids, big guy.” I cracked a smile.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHNhSDW6cY
“You here to meet the boss?” Zi didn’t show any reaction to my comment.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAe2OS2vjjr
“Yep.” I nodded.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkdESCqvjK
“Boss. There’s a girl out here. Silver hair. Blue eyes. Tattoos, piercings.” The man spoke into a small device in his ear.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuNpFEKGiY
“Let her in. Close the door behind you.” I could hear the boss’ voice come through.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQGHf9fvJ4
The both of us followed the boss’ instructions. I walked into the private room, while the guard closed the door behind us. The Trizrk stood up from the booth. I was kind of glad to have never met him. Zi was a large one, likely even bigger than zir’s own guards. Zir’s face was severely scarred and the smile on zir’s face made me cringe slightly.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALnpqq2UPl
“Eos, I presume.” Zi stuck his hand out to me.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnqsvteTzJ
I placed my hand in zir’s and shook it. Zir’s hand was the better part of three times larger than mine. I wasn’t sure of the details of Mallox’s setup, but not having to pretend to be someone else did make it easier for me. “I never got your name, actually. Fist and the rest of your men only refer to you as boss.”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeax4D914Y
“No. It’s Boss. I’m Boss.” Zi smiled at me, zir’s smile less threatening now.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMn22AQy9Hg
“Oh. Well, that makes more sense, I suppose. Unless you have all of your men, yourself, and their men in the same room, because then like everyone would be boss.”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztQJ7Gn91n
Zi let out a hearty laugh. “I’ve heard a lot about you from Fist. What happened to zim? Seems I lost touch with zim after your shipment.” Zi paused for a moment. “This is a set up, isn’t it?”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdz8bmCkuGv
“Yep.” I nodded. “But...by a Spectre.”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sQnPCJHRG
“Mallox, right? He’s been on my ass all these years.”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyteBvF76k
“Well, now that both of us know what’s going on, I want to make you a deal.”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkV2av49JV
“I like you girl. Alright, speak.”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvk2Mu97c6
“Well, if everything goes right for me, I’ll be back to smuggling in a few weeks. Unfortunately for you, Fist will probably not be active as soon as me. Why don’t you start buying directly from me? I can get you anything you need, without Fist getting in the way.”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguqg8iJbl0
“Sounds like a good deal to me, but I’d assume this means you’re going to let me get away.”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqup4MKIBy
“It does. I’ll let you get away and not have to spend the rest of your life dealing with Mallox. Well, you still will have to, but at least you won’t be living in his cell.”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7LLXYIskY
“You have yourself a deal.” Zi held his hand out.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Nsr931w5F
I crossed my arms over my chest, not fully sure why I had the confidence to say this. “And I get to keep the Eezo. You keep your mouth shut about this if you get caught and I will do the same.”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsZt50jHlV
Zi chuckled. “You’re smart for a human, Eos. Deal. The Eezo is all yours and I will be contacting Rix shortly. After this all settles down again.”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMktVJquAYT
I shook zir’s hand with a smile. “You should get out of here. I’ll go tell Mallox that you ran in a few minutes.”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0vGVdo1vW
Zi pulled something out of zir’s pocket and handed it to me. “The keycard to this room. You can store the Eezo here and pick it back up.”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KvsnXJqEi
I took the key from zim as zi walked out the backdoor. I wasn’t sure if I really should trust zim. If zi knew the location, zi might try to take it, but at the same time, I didn’t have much choice. I picked up one of the cushions and stuffed the bag into the nook before sitting down. I should at least count to a hundred before telling Mallox.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBO3Yn3CaK
I looked up at Mallox as he cooked something in the small kitchen. Honestly, it smelled great. “Why did you invite me to dinner?” I finally asked, breaking the silence.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyz8S81mAC
He sighed and turned to face me. “I looked at your record, but...I had to do some digging to find your real one. Your dad-”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WcSApxBgb
I held my hand up to stop him. “Don't talk about my dad. Who he is doesn't matter. If that's all you wanted, I want to leave.”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJfBncSRZ2
"I won't bring it up again. I was just a big surprise." He shook his head.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVeVgx5vya
I crossed my arms and looked away. “Now that I did what you asked, do I get my call?”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrygDLvTPE
"Alright, fine. Go ahead."
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOqIm29POh
I stood up. “I’ll just step outside to do it.” I walked towards the door, but he grabbed onto my arm before I could even open it. I sighed.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUuKeP7yLC
“I know you're going to run.” He looked down at me sternly. His eyes bored into me.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4ThguX4Rj
“Yeah. I was. What's your point?”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNgMKrom83
"Use my comm." He motions towards the wall.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YN0wEM1nO
“Madam.” EVO spoke up. “Rix is still off world. He will not get your call.”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0d2O73hAua
I sighed. “Actually, it seems that I have no one to call.”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Fph8ESgKK
"Are you sure?" He raised an eyebrow.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJmousvm3U
“Yeah.” I nodded weakly, walking back over to the chair I had been siting in.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPG4dQRZjJ
"You know, if you get in too much trouble, your father won't be able to save you."
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3OXxqk9DW
“My dad doesn't even know me. I wasn't calling my dad. I haven't even met him before.” I shook my head.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGTG3Q1AeM
He made a noise, signaling he had heard me, but had nothing to say to it.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXmOXVPmdf
Eventually he finished cooking and took a seat across from me.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzf9iPLWyVE
“So...for my first Spectre operation, how did I do?” I stabbed my fork into the vegetable before stuffing it into my mouth. It was…amazing. I’m aware there are food enhancers, even had the chance to try a few, but never like this. It’s amazing, nearly organismic. If food’s enough to get you off, that is.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwQAV3oOZU
“Well, I wish you hadn’t lost both my target and my Eezo.” He spoke flatly. I couldn’t help but let out a small laugh. “I’m glad it entertains you so much, but that was one expensive joke.”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Po2lj4V5M
I rubbed my arm with a half smile. “Sorry.”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYb9eM5kafm
He shook his head. “I shouldn’t have trusted you to get the job done.”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ruV6CDT91
“Sorry.” I spoke a bit more sympathetically than my first attempt. “You know, Spectre, you're very hot.” I shot him my best shy smile, quickly looking down at my plate. I glanced up at him, to see if he took the bait. “So...am I staying here tonight?”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudG34ZfUs6
"Do you want to?" He raised an eyebrow.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiQm7BZXmK
“I...would like to, yeah.” I looked down again.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62JKsGnlTD
"Then stay, I'd enjoy it." He smirked back at me.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpznAXsNTla
“Are you expecting repayment?” I tilted my head to the side innocently.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0zXZMNS2k
"Repayment? No. I don't expect anything."
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfmL2hmboe
“Would you like repayment?”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaI4hCERnKa
"Are you offering?" He leaned back in his seat slightly.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMjMN1qUCb
“If you want it.” I shrugged with a small smile.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6ihf9iG6P
"I won't say no." He smiled. “I have a question for you.” His voice shifted, from more playful to serious.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9R1V3wTkN
“Sure.” I shrugged.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7ygRQL4FT
“I heard your whole conversation with Fist. How often do you fuck men to fulfill Rix’s deal?”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgisCJ5tSSA
“Like..four out of five times.” I smiled slightly, but when I could see Mallox wasn’t a fan, my smile faded. “That wasn’t a joke.”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJEK9GpGHS
“I should just arrest, Rix.” He shook his head.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iFHANIsvB
“Not saying that I want you to, but...why don’t you? You’re a Spectre, you can do whatever you want.”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rzgbBK8HO
He shook his head. “It doesn’t matter. I need a shower before we continue. After we eat.”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7bLQa5Md5
I was currently sitting on Mallox’s bed, listening to his shower in the connected bathroom. He had been a good forty or so minutes. I was honestly worried he was going to be pruney by the time he was done. I had spent my time leisurely looking around his place, seeing if he had any sort of personality, but nope. None. None I could find, at least.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14bU032uHW
Finally, the water stopped and a few minutes later, Mallox came out wearing nothing but a towel. His body was lean and muscular. Handsome as far as humans go.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlSSvNsVqJ
He walked over to the panel on the wall, pressing a few things, before the window shades opened, revealing the lit-up city. Along with the shades, the lights dimmed, and low music started playing. He was really setting the mood.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLMB4GYHhW
Mallox took his time walking over to me, I watched him with a small smile. As he finally made it over to me, he leaned down to kiss me, his tongue exploring my mouth while he pulled me closer so I could feel his hard bulge resting against me. His powerful hands held me, one on the back of my head, the other holding the curve of my hip.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVg7f2a1mp1
“Strip.” He pulled back long enough to command me.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKaIRYO5k7
“No ‘please’?” I tilted my head to the side slightly.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjfUupkChe
“Nope.” He smiled slightly, nodding towards the bed. “Strip and get on it.”

I did as he asked, quickly stripping down out of my clothes, leaving them in a pile on the floor, before crawling onto the bed. Mallox walked to the edge of the bed and looked down at me, his eyes roaming over my body, lingering on certain features. After pausing a few moments to rake my body with his eyes, he crawled onto the bed and on top of me.

He knocked open my legs with his knees, leaving me fully exposed in front of him. One of his large hands was placed over my breast and squeezed roughly.

“So much for not wanting to fuck me.” I smirked up at him.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9ZN9NHnBT
“I didn’t say I didn’t want to, technically.” He shrugged slightly, moving his hand from my breast and down the curve of my hip. His hand stopped, bracing himself as his other one began to tease my clit. “Can’t say you didn’t want it. Your body can’t lie.”

“Wasn’t planning to.” I arched my back as the sensation ran through me, causing me to push against his finger.

Mallox removed the towel, tossing it to the side. I could feel as he rubbed himself against my entrance. Without as much as a warning, he pushed himself inside as deep as he could go, causing me to catch my breath. He pulled back, moving his free hand to my other hip to brace me, and pushed forward again.

His groans grew louder as he continued on. He looked down at me with a smirk, one hand reaching forward to grab onto my breast, roughly kneading it. His other hand braced me as he forcefully rammed into me.

I rolled my head back, letting out a moan. “Fuck.”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiBBH0RsAy
Eventually, he began to slow down, grabbing onto both hips again to delve as deep as possible and before I could get off, he finished inside me.

Mallox pulled out and fell to myself, breathing heavily. He grabbed my arm and pulled me against him, kissing me sloppily before letting me go.

I looked over at the bed as Mallox still slept. I stood up and redressed quickly and quietly, before walking into the bathroom and smoothing my hair. On the bathroom counter was a nice, analog wrist watch. I picked it up, almost stuffing it in my pocket, but Mallox grabbed my arm, causing me to jump. “It's a reflex...sorry…”

"Don't make excuses. Just don't do it next time." He took it from me.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiTNv9ybVZ
“I mean, I'm not going to be around you to do it to you again, but I'm going to do it again.” I shrugged with a slight smile.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtLulriUTb
"Yeah, I figured as much." He shook his head.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4t2yv3J7t
“So...last night…”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQZdd8p0Qi
“What about it?” He raised an eyebrow, setting the watch back down.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3cAXePHj7
“It was fun.” I smiled slightly.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtV6cGf5Gk
"I'm glad you enjoyed it. I did too." He smiled back at me.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYX598DbQba
“I mean, how many people can say they've done that with the first human Spectre?”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxr1CbaKnz
"I’m not sure how many would have the balls to.” He wrapped his arms around my stomach, pulling me against his chest.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuy919hcwd
“Do I get my ship back now?”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkMTAl2kHY
“After breakfast. If I’m feeling like giving you up.” His teeth brushed against my skin as he smiled.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjfnZUTRE9
I pulled the latch to my ship and opened the door. I looked back at Mallox as I started up the stairs. “I guess this is goodbye.”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGT8X5HFNu
"Yep, I guess so." He nodded.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAwk8g9eg6
“Have fun with...being a hero.” I cracked a smile.
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBI7m5sXxu
"Have fun doing the complete opposite."
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyY6XaqQRMe
“You going to come arrest me someday, so we can do this again?”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWE0AC5RdFg
He laughed quietly. "I probably won't have to look too hard. You attract a lot of attention."
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhch83ssZSI
I rolled my eyes. “Usually I'm under the radar. This week was just a bad example.”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMGOSMqNw1
"I'm sure." He smiled
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7aAy14nTO
“It's true.” I crossed my arms. “Usually I don't get taken in by a Spectre.”
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPp7favA7w
"Yet you still know how to constantly get in trouble."
45Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafjDOkW0kL
“It comes with the turf.” I shrugged. “Well, I’ve got a ship to catch. See you later, Spectre.” I saluted him before walking into my ship and closing the door behind me, my smile fading. “I don’t ever get a break, do I EVO?”
