Chapter 27 Aera #2
He savors me with long licks, even as I descend from the high, like he isn’t ready to stop.
“Evo...”
He picks up his head and smiles bashfully. “Was that better?”
I encourage him up to me. “You are enough the way you are.”
Evo graces my face with a hand like he doesn’t understand.
“Give me your natural form,” I say. “I want you to be comfortable with me the way you are.”
Evo rolls over and lies on his back, looking up at the ceiling. After a slow blink, his stardust fades through.
I grin and straddle him. “That’s it.”
Before he can protest, I take his rigid length in hand, in all its inky darkness, stroke it, and watch as the stars move through him, tracking my movement.
Evo shudders in pleasure and hums a long, delicious note that tells me we’re on the right track. He sits up, grabs me by the hips, and opens his eyes, now bright as blazing blue suns. He sweeps his lips over mine. “I do not want to blow, so I have to go slow.”
He eases me down. His tip pushes inside, hot and filled with a stimulating energy I can’t quite place. It steals my breath and makes me weak from an overwhelming high.
Evo’s jaw muscles dance as he watches me closely, devilish desire in his gaze. He makes me take his girth, barely giving me enough time to stretch for him. The moment he touches my deepest parts, he hums a grunt in lust. “You’re so tight.”
A jump warning sounds over the speakers. Evo steadies my hips against his. The jolt slams through us, tugging on our bodies, heightening my awareness of every raging curve of Evo inside of me. My pussy slicks with fresh nectar.
Evo forcibly breathes out as the ship’s momentum eases again.
“Ah, shit.” Evo lifts me off of him. “Too much, too fast. Ultro is out of control. Give me a second.”
I can’t stand the void he leaves behind and fight him to wriggle down over his cock again. A sigh of relief leaves me when my missing piece is back in place. I brace his forehead to mine. “Don’t leave again. Stay.”
“Aera...”
“Please.”
“Okay.” After a calming breath, he thrusts and doesn’t quite back out this time. His body is doing something to mine. His energy feeds into me in a new kind of euphoria. I don’t know what is happening exactly. I just know that I never want it to end, and I never want to be apart from him again.
Evo sits up, picks me up, carries me to the wall, and presses my hips against it, burying himself with force. My pussy clenches hard. But I’m not ready, not when I never really got to rest from my first climax. I’m weak and sweaty and clinging to him to keep my sanity.
He pumps harder and faster, evoking a sleek wetness from me.
And, just as I climb to the tipping point of another climax, Evo collects me from the wall, like he knows I want a break.
He lays me back on the bed, keeping us together as he adjusts his position.
Then he binds me to him, kisses me with passion, taps open a cabinet, and grabs a gun. He sets it in my hand.
I look at it. “What the hell is this for?”
“It will encapsulate me,” he says. “If I blow. I’m...close.”
His shaft flexes inside of me. Evo shakes his head like he’s trying to resist. He braces himself on the bed and massages one of my breasts, pinching and flicking my nipple, sending waves of need through me like he isn’t bothered by the idea of giving me a gun while we’re in the heat of our bonding.
I try to release the weapon, but he reaches out and binds my hand around the grip. “I love you, Aera. I do not want to hurt you. If I...”
I stop listening when his cock pulses with fresh energy and throbbing heat. Tremors rip through my core. I rasp his name.
“Damn it.” He pants, hesitates, then thrusts hard, pumping his heat into me. His body ripples. Stars brighten inside of him. They swirl faster like his ultromotor’s pace determines theirs.
Evo shudders as he fills me. The fear in his eyes when he sees his body glowing brighter makes me drop the gun, brace the sides of his face, and summon his gaze to mine.
“I am here.”
Evo’s breath comes faster. “I can’t stop it.”
“Yes, you can.” I kiss his mouth, savor the minty nanosolution on his breath, and tense around his cock again. “You won’t hurt me.”
“Aera...” Evo’s getting hotter by the second. He jerks his eyes away to search for the gun. But I’m enjoying the heat of him between my hips.
“Evo.” I bring him back to me with a nibble of his bottom lip. “I love you. You. I am not scared. Even if it means dying with you. We stick together.”
Evo’s light steadies. His rapid breathing gradually eases. And, slowly, he dims to his normal stardust with the exception of two glowing orbs in his sides.
He kisses my cheek, sighs, and eases himself out.
“Ooh, fuck. Wish you didn’t have to do that.” I arch and already miss the feeling of him inside of me.
Evo apologizes as he gets up and pries the chips out of his sides. “Guess I’d better take these out.”
I sit up on his bed. “Why are they so bright?”
He winces as his body seals up. “When Eon and I phased the first time, I blacked out. I...saw Xiphos.”
“You did?”
“It’s out there, but it sent me a message with a lot of data.” Evo sets the chips on the bed beside me. “It wants unity from us before it will engage and let us find it.”
“What does that mean?”
“We have to take care of the rot within our own... CSP.” He sits beside me. “Joey, and the rest of his followers, must be stopped. And we have a few more pieces of the puzzle to find.” He taps the chips. “The third chip and the other members who can activate them.”
“Seems like you activated them just fine.”
Evo hangs his head. “I’m just the messenger, a conduit. It knows that now. And it will take me again when it needs something.”
“So it’s like AI?”
He looks away. “It is both biological and AI.”
“I don’t understand.”
“It is Titan.”
“But you’re only biological in theory, transference…”
“It was…familiar. Like a Creator. Like you. Like a Brother or Sister. It reminded me of Poppy. Ancient in origin, demanding, no room for error.” Evo looks away. “It is…lonely. Machines do not get that way. But it is also committed to its purpose.”
Evo takes my hand. “I thought my emptiness was too much. But it has been alone for centuries. I want to stop its pain. H… His pain. I know only a fraction of such isolation, and it nearly destroyed me.”
“I will help however I can.”
Evo’s eyes flash with communication. “Chasm has a plan. We are moving out of the system now. Craze has temporary control of Aidathrin.”
“What’s the plan?”
Evo blinks, and his eyes return to normal.
“Capture CSP. Find and free the rest of our CyberGuards. Reconnect with resistance on Earth Minor. Weed out Solcrue loyalists. Plan a rebellion. Salvage all the ships we can. Find the other ancient descendants and the last chip. And find a new supply of food for our growing fleet.”
“Is that all?” I laugh.
Evo leans forward and kisses me tenderly. “No.”
“What’s left?”
“Making love to you in the shower one last time before we take a really long nap. Then we hunt down Crezlith and the rest of his kind.” Evo picks me up and carries me into the shower stall, a sheepish grin decorating his face.
“It’s all you, sexy.” I nip at his muscled neck. “My legs are already like jelly.”
“I will support you.” He switches on the hot water, locks my ankles together behind his hips, finds my opening, and inserts himself. “I just can’t get enough.”
“I don’t feel complete without you,” I admit.
Evo rests his forehead against mine. “Promise me that you will be careful in battle. I can’t lose you, or I will fall apart. And you saw what that looks like.”
“It’s not really in Rebel blood to hide,” I reply. “We aren’t bred that way.”
He laughs. “Using my own words against me.”
“Just carry my love in your ultromotor, and I’ll carry yours in mine. And we’ll find a way to survive.”
Evo wraps me up in his muscled arms, his cock still buried in me. And it is the most whole I have ever felt. He doesn’t have to say anything. His body tells me enough. He will protect me, love me, and cherish our bond until we are both returned to the stars again.
