Chapter 19 Roxi
Fracture, who has shown me his darker side, Obsidian, has me caged inside his arms and legs. My split lips hum with the heat of the healing balm. No one has ever broken into a Solcrue-occupied CSP ship, managed to free me, and survive before.
He nips at my ear. “Roxi…”
I’m not sure I believe a Titan could ever actually care for me.
But as he works his way down my space suit, slowly removing it, then caressing my thighs, and nuzzling under the hem of my shirt, I see a softer side of him.
He touches me, holds me carefully. Obsidian kisses my stomach near the bandages and gently rubs a scar from Sin.
“You do not deserve these,” he rumbles with such deep power that I can feel the vibrations of his voice shudder through my body.
He doesn’t seem to care that I’m broken, not in the way Joey cared because it was a turn-off.
Obsidian pays attention to how I react, moving more cautiously if I wince and nibbling harder when I let out a moan.
He feels too good. This can’t be real. I must’ve fallen asleep, and this is just another feverish dream of things I wish I had.
I can’t get my priorities mixed up. I need a clear mind. But as his hands glide up my sides and down over my thighs and work over my hips, loosening muscles I didn’t know were tight, I don’t want him to stop.
I want more.
He pushes up my shirt and hums a note of lust as he drags his tongue up between my breasts.
Obsidian kisses my bruised throat and growls, “Did Joey do this?”
“Y-yes,” I rasp. My voice still hasn’t come back completely.
He licks my throat with his hot tongue, then sinks back and dips it inside my bra, dragging his tingling nanosolution saliva over my nipple. The unexpected need he stirs between my hips makes me suck in a sharp breath.
He chuckles darkly. “I thought so.”
Obsidian isn’t shy as he roots around in the other side of my bra, drawing my bud into his lips and suckling hard, almost angrily.
A glorious wetness slicks my pussy. Desire courses through me like scorching metal in my veins.
“This is why I fractured him only enough to leave pain and scars. He will not shatter. I wanted him to suffer for what he did to you.”
“Not because of your Brothers and Sisters? Other humans that died?” I ask as he swirls his tongue over my breast again.
Obsidian crawls backward, undoes my belt, and glides his nose inside my pants. He inhales and smiles. “Goddamn, you smell delicious.”
“What about…”
“Ah, well…” He tugs my pants and panties off in one move. This is nothing like the Titans I remember Leeta and Besha and all the others working on in the labs. I’m so stunned that I don’t quite know what to do. So I do nothing.
“Of course, I care about them,” he says. “But we’re used to fighting CSP and Solcrue together. You are something special to me.”
“Because I’m a Creator?”
He slides his arms up under my hips and braces my sides. “No, Roxi.”
The blue halos in Obsidian’s black eyes track up my body with lust. “I have wanted you from the first moment I saw you ripping teeth out of CSP and Solcrue heads.”
“I didn’t realize that had sex appeal.”
He smirks, a corner of his mouth twitching upward in a malicious smile. “To me, it was a big turn-on. But also because of your eagerness to help, the way you value us and almost sacrificed yourself to save us. I couldn’t have that. It’s your heart, your gorgeous body…”
“My patchwork of parts?” I run a hand down a synthetic rib on my right side and a panel over my belly.
“It tells a story of the hell you survived,” he says.
“Strength is beauty, and it comes in many forms. But it is also your energy that resonates in the perfect way that makes me feel calmer when you’re around.
I don’t care if it’s your Creator skill.
I know how you make me feel. And I want more of you every day, forever. ”
Obsidian’s warm breath falls over my delicate flesh. I clench in anticipation.
He dips his hot tongue inside. “Mmm. And I couldn’t…
” He licks me again, deeper. “Imagine…” His fingers glide up my sides to play with my breasts as he plunges his tongue into me, swirls it around, and backs out.
“A universe without you. And I know you can’t get a new body if you get hurt.
So I will cherish and protect this one.”
I grasp at my thoughts as his searing, wet, long tongue licks my clit, pushes inside, then retreats to swirl over my opening in slow strokes.
“What my Brothers say is true,” he mumbles.
I lose myself in the high he’s giving me. “Wha… Uh…what’s that?”
“This is the smoothest, most beautiful part of a female. I have no record of anything that compares.
He draws me down by my hips, ravishing me with his mouth as he massages my clit and fills my body with the dappled heat of stars.
My need for him grows. I want him like I have never wanted anything before. But as I start to beg, he pushes his tongue into me, searching, stretching, exploring.
“Obsid…” I can’t get his name out.
He chuckles in triumph as tremors of my orgasm shiver through me until my body is afire beneath his touch.
Glorious waves of euphoria carry me away, banishing pain and guilt, replacing it with ecstasy and care for my Titan.
I am out of breath and straining for air when he finally eases back.
“Good?” he simpers.
I nod, too out of breath to reply.
Obsidian slides my panties back on and then my pants. He grabs a blanket and covers me, but doesn’t leave until he’s checked my bandages. “I will return in a second. The ship is within scanner range of Gibarin. I want to see our situation for myself.”
It isn’t but a moment before I feel him slide in behind me and curl his body around mine.
Obsidian’s words fall warmly against my ear. “I will not let anything happen to you. You have made me feel far less broken.”
“You were never broken in your soul. You were just used to working with pieces. You understand more because you have seen existence at its weakest,” I reply, bracing the arm he wraps around me with my own.
“Joey has never had a truly hard day in his life. Small things are big deals because he is calibrated differently from someone like you, who can have a single shred of something to work with and still end up on top.”
“Yeah, I did.”
I smile. “Did you enjoy it?”
He shifts just enough that I sense the full flex of his engorged cock between my ass cheeks. “I… Yes. I…uh…lied to you. We’re fine. I just had to go…clean myself up.”
“Oh?”
When I look back, Obsidian averts his eyes.
“It’s not wrong to feel good when others are in pain,” he says. “We are doing what we can, Roxi. We must be strong enough to fight. And sometimes that means release. Right now, we just have each other to worry about.”
The arm that curls around me pales to gray-blue. “I am grateful for what you have given us.”
I look back and see him smile. “What are you thinking about?”
“How badly I want you. But I must return to the cockpit. You just rest. I can land us without you needing to get up.”
“You’re kidding. Even the best human pilots I know can’t do that.”
He grins, kisses my cheek like he’s trying to remember the way it feels, and gets out of bed. Fracture tucks the blanket in around me. “I am a Rogue who flies as part of my skill set. I promise you won’t even notice. Now rest.”
