“You have three crates of those, correct?” Rix scrolled through the inventory of the ship on his tablet.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjpYajhbJV
“Yep.” I nodded. “Three. Two to go to Verner and one to go to Fist.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoPjqBSIed
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?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9G2BlMHH2
“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…”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQT3mbR8AwM
“Late evening on Ferros tomorrow if you leave now, madam.” EVO answered.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpveo20y7ub
“Late evening on Ferros tomorrow.” I smiled.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGW6H2TTzsV
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7S1xiSc3k
“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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ePBBMvGm2
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXP0D801hLx
“Exiting atmosphere in five, four, three,” EVO began to count down, “two, one. You are now out of Hedron’s atmosphere, madam.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiN8lcRELrz
“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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFmhMQ2hKc
“Yes, madam.” EVO spoke through the speakers on the ship. “We will arrive on Ferros in thirty-five hours and twenty-three minutes.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61KEHYQmk2
“Thanks, EVO.” I pulled my boots off, sighing in relief. “Do I have any messages?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3I2wnVZbJ
“Negative. You have no messages other than the ones you have blocked from Fist.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFbuwturL6
I nodded. “Any news?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjkUFgFkQq
“Major Hackett is getting awarded another medal, madam.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKEXsLPkXw
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.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WYyig5Xhi
“Yes, madam.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJa9lyLyFMt
I laid down, looking up at the bottom of the bunk. Of course he has another medal. Fucking spoiled brat.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnoSwEWo2l
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu06WqvK4o0
“It is time for your injection, madam.” EVO stated, causing me to sigh and sit up in the bed.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5781W8dlaw
“Fuck. How much longer until we get there?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93a7xpjiiB
“Twenty-eight hours and two minutes until we break the atmosphere on Ferros.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgrx9qxWuJ
“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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEempfM3ns
“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…
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeX0mCVsXmY
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.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5r2aNkFD7
“Three, two-”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAq4Ge62Yas
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYBptwnvUT
“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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSZcMbWkO6
“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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIbYszmeUP
“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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQGcaQcTCJ
“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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5m2dHRfKKk
“They're all here boss.” One of the humans stood up, closing the top of one of the other crates.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gZMEU8XTG
“Now, I just need the payment, and I'll be on my way.” I placed my hand on my hip.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzmR0g70Er
“What's the rush, Eos?” Fist smirked, taking a step closer and grabbing my arm tightly.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvnOUNwIO8
“Well, I've actually got a schedule to keep.” I shrugged. “Maybe some other time, Fist, but I need to go now.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOB7S9DsXZ
“Madam.” EVO spoke up. “There is a man approaching the premises. Spectre Mallox. I suggest you leave before he arrests you.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOnQxFbGgo
“Shit.” I cursed. “Fist. I need to go. Let go of my arm.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyalLoINYg
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.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Pn67aqUkD
“Madam. He will be here in less than thirty seconds.” EVO cautioned.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96Lpt1d3US
“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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuAxgj70K0
“I thought we talked about this, Fist.” Mallox strolled into the building like he owned the damn place.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtMCD3Ruqv
“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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSxHTxVJcK
“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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfwmmj7ZsZ
“Eos.” I crossed my arms.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwfkSaxgtb
“Are you the courier?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7N5athDPs
“I’m-”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUherfLBwE
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBjfUHFVoo
Kinda happy he ran or else I might of got shot for my sarcastic comment that was coming. I silently sighed in relief.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPwcqVqIxg
“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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6ka5bn2Mx
“EVO. What do I do?” I asked quietly.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQr6xYRJ4Vj
“I would suggest following Spectre Mallox’s orders, madam.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAap2GqUgO7
“Great…”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0EiAJjpLs
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?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkDbl4sRF1
"No. You don't." He answered simply.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CTJtoBMsA
I sighed. “Then you're just going to toss me into a cell? Lock me up and throw away the key?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EEvw2Ehv7
"No, I won't. As long as you do as I say."
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpBwJ3KxYL
I crossed my arms over my chest. “And what is it that I have to do? Sleep with you?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNieWBdLZP
"That wasn't it." He narrowed his eyes, still not looking up at me.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcxYd8Etv3
“What is it then?” I rolled my eyes, glaring at the shelf of achievements behind him.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuBNuJoDSS
"I need you to act as a decoy." He leaned back in his chair.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xn4Mml7fr
“Decoy? What...do you need me to do?” I looked back down at him.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoxsXccJ2S
“That man you were making a deal with, you need to go to a meeting with his boss.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDzI4klRjJ
I sighed. “How dangerous is it going to be?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFldXu2qyS5
"Very. So you need to be careful."
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQ7oChuZoE
“What am I going to have to do?” I looked up at him.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSoxukcyx6
“There's already a meeting set up. You'll be sent there with an item. You’ll do as we instruct.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNva0PELOwW
I nodded slowly. “And if I end up dead?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafbnB9Zm5b
"Then I guess we'll find someone else." He shrugged, still not looking at me.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgOCdoEXNs
“Such certainty.” I scowled
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQIfjKefnU
“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.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDh3NpOYYmU
“You have a cell in your private office?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡachIGb3wxb
“I'm a Spectre. Yes. I do.” He started to walk down a hallway.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIZm1QDSjq
“Are you going to just leave me alone in the building? What if I start choking or something?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrpy9avYdg
“Then I'll have to find a new decoy.” He stopped in front of a small cell. He really wasn't kidding.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEr3THmRQkM
I sighed. “Then I guess I'll try not to choke. Or maybe I will. Depends on how I feel tonight.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxBSzgink1
“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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mRJZOZTYq
“EVO.” I sighed and sat down on the beach. “Send Rix a message.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQv33CmG6Lr
“Done, madam. But he is off world and the message may not reach him in time.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkzyHPZ7pB
“It’s all we can do for now.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtxX7wSWVF
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.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAOpLayweR
“So...I could just run?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVLjWyo4Cl
“I would not recommend it, madam.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2S6u8LHVV
“Where am I going, EVO? I don’t know where the VIP room is.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOXMjdMOxh
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdqTKYWgjg
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBLafmksPu
“You here to meet the boss?” Zi didn’t show any reaction to my comment.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmP76JEAAmx
“Yep.” I nodded.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYZfhMIoPG
“Boss. There’s a girl out here. Silver hair. Blue eyes. Tattoos, piercings.” The man spoke into a small device in his ear.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05DtqhgMyI
“Let her in. Close the door behind you.” I could hear the boss’ voice come through.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bdzrQqcoh
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlH715BZfVB
“Eos, I presume.” Zi stuck his hand out to me.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKqxZLcrOz
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.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyp3zGQNZD
“No. It’s Boss. I’m Boss.” Zi smiled at me, zir’s smile less threatening now.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEdJq7X8x7
“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.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpETK3kYjj
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?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7ncMEeEUs
“Yep.” I nodded. “But...by a Spectre.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLeo2gSkrU
“Mallox, right? He’s been on my ass all these years.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9df95buWH2
“Well, now that both of us know what’s going on, I want to make you a deal.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3qzHGaFHJ
“I like you girl. Alright, speak.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJEQ2pa1mM
“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.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgPrRA0FhY
“Sounds like a good deal to me, but I’d assume this means you’re going to let me get away.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtzrG2kvZH
“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.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXzLBiwaEz
“You have yourself a deal.” Zi held his hand out.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pOwWjQub7
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.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLsgK0wvmT
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.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklNKLXu33s
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.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ocPJIuFvM
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.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEe8Jy2fo7
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJpS92RAbV
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvI83Pte3AA
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-”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyHj2tphYL
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.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3gMV6GcNV
"I won't bring it up again. I was just a big surprise." He shook his head.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvqXdWIq0k
I crossed my arms and looked away. “Now that I did what you asked, do I get my call?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9uHgpDeeG
"Alright, fine. Go ahead."
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZxXTJlqK1
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRTl2eSYMZ
“I know you're going to run.” He looked down at me sternly. His eyes bored into me.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyX1kh7dn4V
“Yeah. I was. What's your point?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3C1E8LKUgY
"Use my comm." He motions towards the wall.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPucuOkLrgz
“Madam.” EVO spoke up. “Rix is still off world. He will not get your call.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCO8itIKCgU
I sighed. “Actually, it seems that I have no one to call.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7ZmLbshFH
"Are you sure?" He raised an eyebrow.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoGSwMOX8a
“Yeah.” I nodded weakly, walking back over to the chair I had been siting in.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnYDa7basT
"You know, if you get in too much trouble, your father won't be able to save you."
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvvzDdXtGT
“My dad doesn't even know me. I wasn't calling my dad. I haven't even met him before.” I shook my head.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FRbNU99r6
He made a noise, signaling he had heard me, but had nothing to say to it.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6pm5owkuC
Eventually he finished cooking and took a seat across from me.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iIBZIAriu
“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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIg02idWJjK
“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.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwLPC9RVzO
I rubbed my arm with a half smile. “Sorry.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLn56hxC86N
He shook his head. “I shouldn’t have trusted you to get the job done.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QmbMcjfKV
“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?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGvK4GmJKL
"Do you want to?" He raised an eyebrow.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1ukdS1JkH
“I...would like to, yeah.” I looked down again.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5r3RQkorPe
"Then stay, I'd enjoy it." He smirked back at me.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgthoMJvyfO
“Are you expecting repayment?” I tilted my head to the side innocently.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEtXTEfCJb
"Repayment? No. I don't expect anything."
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gVjjMBZPY
“Would you like repayment?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhSkEzazkZ
"Are you offering?" He leaned back in his seat slightly.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYnKGx88iP
“If you want it.” I shrugged with a small smile.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRwr0BIM26
"I won't say no." He smiled. “I have a question for you.” His voice shifted, from more playful to serious.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjB0FXqzGT6
“Sure.” I shrugged.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYLmgFJ90Z
“I heard your whole conversation with Fist. How often do you fuck men to fulfill Rix’s deal?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7aI69ZtXo
“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.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVj5sfdJfEE
“I should just arrest, Rix.” He shook his head.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKB9uYbLAn
“Not saying that I want you to, but...why don’t you? You’re a Spectre, you can do whatever you want.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNcwo7MJmc
He shook his head. “It doesn’t matter. I need a shower before we continue. After we eat.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTMjkyJfRY
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcdBy9uU9Y
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjy3JZXH6vC
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmNtodItwZ
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQlzVNSG4i
“Strip.” He pulled back long enough to command me.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOlfnpYxDa
“No ‘please’?” I tilted my head to the side slightly.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FJf1Zndu8
“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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvzvq4swAV
“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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGcFGHBxM9
"Yeah, I figured as much." He shook his head.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiAAI7cdSB
“So...last night…”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMdBPeoBkM
“What about it?” He raised an eyebrow, setting the watch back down.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2p4ZwMqbe
“It was fun.” I smiled slightly.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTCmzCU64V
"I'm glad you enjoyed it. I did too." He smiled back at me.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TznYT3wub
“I mean, how many people can say they've done that with the first human Spectre?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFS6ZtsTpCG
"I’m not sure how many would have the balls to.” He wrapped his arms around my stomach, pulling me against his chest.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLluDJe03dc
“Do I get my ship back now?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFGagQv4O8
“After breakfast. If I’m feeling like giving you up.” His teeth brushed against my skin as he smiled.

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.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCzxvj5JyQ
"Yep, I guess so." He nodded.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRp0oYcvHj
“Have fun with...being a hero.” I cracked a smile.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvw3CXKS2d
"Have fun doing the complete opposite."
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfVnY5v9R0
“You going to come arrest me someday, so we can do this again?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBT022oWgi4
He laughed quietly. "I probably won't have to look too hard. You attract a lot of attention."
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuu5xALm15
I rolled my eyes. “Usually I'm under the radar. This week was just a bad example.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD30jqN2FDh
"I'm sure." He smiled
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyaemnoJqu
“It's true.” I crossed my arms. “Usually I don't get taken in by a Spectre.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxeKj9bIBR
"Yet you still know how to constantly get in trouble."
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFW0a4325o
“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?”
