“You have three crates of those, correct?” Rix scrolled through the inventory of the ship on his tablet.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlE6yrpWzs
“Yep.” I nodded. “Three. Two to go to Verner and one to go to Fist.”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqX8Q26QvM
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?”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWXRAmEsD7
“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…”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetAZn7XWdd
“Late evening on Ferros tomorrow if you leave now, madam.” EVO answered.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNGELSguJA
“Late evening on Ferros tomorrow.” I smiled.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡst3vJTMAhQ
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.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBJlh9IqZb
“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.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYT2ruclxN9
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.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHh4MhNMaK
“Exiting atmosphere in five, four, three,” EVO began to count down, “two, one. You are now out of Hedron’s atmosphere, madam.”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQweVjZ8eV
“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.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyv37oU8zjp
“Yes, madam.” EVO spoke through the speakers on the ship. “We will arrive on Ferros in thirty-five hours and twenty-three minutes.”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIIkl3FldQ
“Thanks, EVO.” I pulled my boots off, sighing in relief. “Do I have any messages?”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOU7GCTzQJ
“Negative. You have no messages other than the ones you have blocked from Fist.”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZoLAvzvii
I nodded. “Any news?”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvriP2MWAi
“Major Hackett is getting awarded another medal, madam.”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn61o2YVwDU
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.”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7Uv0UDQgH
“Yes, madam.”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0Umof99bP
I laid down, looking up at the bottom of the bunk. Of course he has another medal. Fucking spoiled brat.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39l0WsBDEi
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.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHVPX9LUfw
“It is time for your injection, madam.” EVO stated, causing me to sigh and sit up in the bed.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOsGTwUwjH
“Fuck. How much longer until we get there?”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gGf4s5HxR
“Twenty-eight hours and two minutes until we break the atmosphere on Ferros.”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDoLIHFl9E
“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.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2sNXSzYup
“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…
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJeiZZCnmi
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.”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCFqQYXYvy
“Three, two-”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYDNKWGRDo
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.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYixKPBvwyq
“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.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpsoyZveHT
“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.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tKWNOIKgn
“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.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM83BxGfdKG
“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.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfsrs4Syzv
“They're all here boss.” One of the humans stood up, closing the top of one of the other crates.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZmStyvS9f
“Now, I just need the payment, and I'll be on my way.” I placed my hand on my hip.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTuIrGYgrX
“What's the rush, Eos?” Fist smirked, taking a step closer and grabbing my arm tightly.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpqqjZdbwf
“Well, I've actually got a schedule to keep.” I shrugged. “Maybe some other time, Fist, but I need to go now.”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAH8717USM4
“Madam.” EVO spoke up. “There is a man approaching the premises. Spectre Mallox. I suggest you leave before he arrests you.”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENnJewu75W
“Shit.” I cursed. “Fist. I need to go. Let go of my arm.”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JXvjzuRZy
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.”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpleReF2Qe5
“Madam. He will be here in less than thirty seconds.” EVO cautioned.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDavzyXiNta
“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.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggvZeNcmnQ
“I thought we talked about this, Fist.” Mallox strolled into the building like he owned the damn place.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIPJeZqIPA
“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.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiU2YYZxav
“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.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFocv9MbPN
“Eos.” I crossed my arms.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCoumOjCsd
“Are you the courier?”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKF1deJuzP
“I’m-”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42cIeLNgtJ
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.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Bx9WpetwL
Kinda happy he ran or else I might of got shot for my sarcastic comment that was coming. I silently sighed in relief.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORFumnPUqK
“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.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9K2VjIDqZ
“EVO. What do I do?” I asked quietly.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNYioiVbZ8
“I would suggest following Spectre Mallox’s orders, madam.”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAniElmifZ
“Great…”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSG3ob5SMAl
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?”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡst9qFqPyiW
"No. You don't." He answered simply.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgshaKTXZmp
I sighed. “Then you're just going to toss me into a cell? Lock me up and throw away the key?”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3NuarKheI
"No, I won't. As long as you do as I say."
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM14oeP3gOr
I crossed my arms over my chest. “And what is it that I have to do? Sleep with you?”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IbQEBwvJM
"That wasn't it." He narrowed his eyes, still not looking up at me.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmsaCFglnS
“What is it then?” I rolled my eyes, glaring at the shelf of achievements behind him.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIg0kK6yDId
"I need you to act as a decoy." He leaned back in his chair.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEgwDWvmDJ
“Decoy? What...do you need me to do?” I looked back down at him.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMBci65WtY
“That man you were making a deal with, you need to go to a meeting with his boss.”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnpkQUOgpi
I sighed. “How dangerous is it going to be?”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalyeXsVhid
"Very. So you need to be careful."
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEvLJG6fvS
“What am I going to have to do?” I looked up at him.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83s7j2CO4f
“There's already a meeting set up. You'll be sent there with an item. You’ll do as we instruct.”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwCEjh4gBJ
I nodded slowly. “And if I end up dead?”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCYOHBK8Ou
"Then I guess we'll find someone else." He shrugged, still not looking at me.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnJdBHT2Un
“Such certainty.” I scowled
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDvNgQBw1O
“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.”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uVUAbozhz
“You have a cell in your private office?”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNquxrWlHAz
“I'm a Spectre. Yes. I do.” He started to walk down a hallway.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxxeL28WAu
“Are you going to just leave me alone in the building? What if I start choking or something?”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBqcAnhdFn
“Then I'll have to find a new decoy.” He stopped in front of a small cell. He really wasn't kidding.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwnJpqIBNE
I sighed. “Then I guess I'll try not to choke. Or maybe I will. Depends on how I feel tonight.”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfOythUCcQ
“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.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOfhnXJpMX
“EVO.” I sighed and sat down on the beach. “Send Rix a message.”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNeK2KNCKk
“Done, madam. But he is off world and the message may not reach him in time.”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHpDCLJ75H
“It’s all we can do for now.”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOAbgeFvTQ
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.”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2t86SU8qS
“So...I could just run?”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPiYCkUYdM
“I would not recommend it, madam.”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0d3TlMxZh
“Where am I going, EVO? I don’t know where the VIP room is.”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7beLPOR46
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.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5OqG47TkR
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.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJuyY8nUpZ
“You here to meet the boss?” Zi didn’t show any reaction to my comment.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhLlGFtCqz
“Yep.” I nodded.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEwiMgRrP2
“Boss. There’s a girl out here. Silver hair. Blue eyes. Tattoos, piercings.” The man spoke into a small device in his ear.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjuMU9rnbi
“Let her in. Close the door behind you.” I could hear the boss’ voice come through.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lCpPThv6Z
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.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEIQTZsL2h
“Eos, I presume.” Zi stuck his hand out to me.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRmUathhPe
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.”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTggzWgObV
“No. It’s Boss. I’m Boss.” Zi smiled at me, zir’s smile less threatening now.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWRCa1I4nV
“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.”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWjfscmRTS
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?”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpV6jK7lvIp
“Yep.” I nodded. “But...by a Spectre.”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNiPltsEVn
“Mallox, right? He’s been on my ass all these years.”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJhNsawXku
“Well, now that both of us know what’s going on, I want to make you a deal.”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoROiX3GnJp
“I like you girl. Alright, speak.”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRBc3QtyeC
“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.”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3KKY5idHf
“Sounds like a good deal to me, but I’d assume this means you’re going to let me get away.”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMYmb9m2R1
“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.”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7X6VythA0
“You have yourself a deal.” Zi held his hand out.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYreIZ9V6rQ
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.”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nmYJZMURB
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.”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCZdzAud7d
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.”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Pxf0vC6Wg
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.”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIHvxRvFZQ
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.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4F3jD59UV
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.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueu1Y8QhZr
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-”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO95VpdrxsY
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.”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylZggMgq0Q
"I won't bring it up again. I was just a big surprise." He shook his head.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq946ukW0UJ
I crossed my arms and looked away. “Now that I did what you asked, do I get my call?”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpqumeL4N4
"Alright, fine. Go ahead."
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbwCjJN7yG
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.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWYbpjyjMI
“I know you're going to run.” He looked down at me sternly. His eyes bored into me.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfHcMN7C82
“Yeah. I was. What's your point?”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9P5LXlcvR1
"Use my comm." He motions towards the wall.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolFCwJJmFi
“Madam.” EVO spoke up. “Rix is still off world. He will not get your call.”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyxqQS1Qvs
I sighed. “Actually, it seems that I have no one to call.”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7sD4ca1i1
"Are you sure?" He raised an eyebrow.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2Iu9NOwK4
“Yeah.” I nodded weakly, walking back over to the chair I had been siting in.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIPzD53Kjg
"You know, if you get in too much trouble, your father won't be able to save you."
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSjRp492hK
“My dad doesn't even know me. I wasn't calling my dad. I haven't even met him before.” I shook my head.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqRLZaLZMD
He made a noise, signaling he had heard me, but had nothing to say to it.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZQJ9agC9l
Eventually he finished cooking and took a seat across from me.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8BPjht2tU
“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.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2VhrebloH
“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.”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCiG4rjJYq
I rubbed my arm with a half smile. “Sorry.”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08xZqXnycQ
He shook his head. “I shouldn’t have trusted you to get the job done.”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89Iq69BnpB
“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?”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡct8kappRuT
"Do you want to?" He raised an eyebrow.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObbwCjUKVP
“I...would like to, yeah.” I looked down again.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6G3rwnXfv1
"Then stay, I'd enjoy it." He smirked back at me.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlzBYNHmHV
“Are you expecting repayment?” I tilted my head to the side innocently.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7fx6HUnoM
"Repayment? No. I don't expect anything."
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUwVpMd88u
“Would you like repayment?”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgEmYqnRRG
"Are you offering?" He leaned back in his seat slightly.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasUkJ0dijk
“If you want it.” I shrugged with a small smile.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqryZRJdxe
"I won't say no." He smiled. “I have a question for you.” His voice shifted, from more playful to serious.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwCe1OwEA2
“Sure.” I shrugged.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhJxLjErUH
“I heard your whole conversation with Fist. How often do you fuck men to fulfill Rix’s deal?”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ213EI52xBS
“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.”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGZQHO12Ht
“I should just arrest, Rix.” He shook his head.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06FHy6nLzV
“Not saying that I want you to, but...why don’t you? You’re a Spectre, you can do whatever you want.”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKKo8HDW1u
He shook his head. “It doesn’t matter. I need a shower before we continue. After we eat.”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmJ0yDyGXq
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.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxR40KNB7u8
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.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEzfxlvqs2
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.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIKQ4AhXSg
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.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtygRBGNxl
“Strip.” He pulled back long enough to command me.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XL8wvAMUQ
“No ‘please’?” I tilted my head to the side slightly.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpa12XF7yh
“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.

“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.”

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.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajpVBLoijo
“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.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ezoLf5O67
"Yeah, I figured as much." He shook his head.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPpeiwJ6IE
“So...last night…”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGOtWJGbgX
“What about it?” He raised an eyebrow, setting the watch back down.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8Itc63K7M
“It was fun.” I smiled slightly.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡex2fdrmxQ7
"I'm glad you enjoyed it. I did too." He smiled back at me.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1LAsf3M2g
“I mean, how many people can say they've done that with the first human Spectre?”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsR1YeSdrb
"I’m not sure how many would have the balls to.” He wrapped his arms around my stomach, pulling me against his chest.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGo5mVKVLY
“Do I get my ship back now?”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLJqYwqTi0
“After breakfast. If I’m feeling like giving you up.” His teeth brushed against my skin as he smiled.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYx2QJWSMF
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.”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEAHh0fdTe
"Yep, I guess so." He nodded.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoBooVoEvO
“Have fun with...being a hero.” I cracked a smile.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhcPYcZgyy
"Have fun doing the complete opposite."
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjF1q3kRjuH
“You going to come arrest me someday, so we can do this again?”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76Xj0j4Jyu
He laughed quietly. "I probably won't have to look too hard. You attract a lot of attention."
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOBmNyw8w8
I rolled my eyes. “Usually I'm under the radar. This week was just a bad example.”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAJ2qwC4CH
"I'm sure." He smiled
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5z1aQmQHZ
“It's true.” I crossed my arms. “Usually I don't get taken in by a Spectre.”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGT4KmsbQ9i
"Yet you still know how to constantly get in trouble."
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmc4dP5GW18
“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?”
