She still didn't understand.
"The day before we were ambushed."
I gave her a minute to digest and understand the meaning behind my words. When she did, she blanched. "You think that, because of what you said, they sent us into a… trap?"
I didn't react.
"That makes sense, because I've been wracking my brain on why we weren't informed of the Vandalls presence when we entered. Thorodoth told me that they had been keeping an eye on the FOB for days, hoping to catch some of us off guard. They wanted payback for what we did to them by fighting the Terran Confederation the only way possible for them: guerrilla style."
It didn't make me feel better for her to come to the same conclusion, because deep down in my heart, I already knew what I would have to do, but betraying my country, my home, and my species was still something I wasn't at peace with, even though they had betrayed me first.
"Let's hope they'll be more willing to listen once they're confronted with the truth," I said more to convince myself than her. And then, to change the subject once again, I said, "I'm glad you're alive, Rae."
"I didn't always feel that way, but so am I, and you have my full support, Colonel, as always."
"Thank you."
Together we left the hut to find the men gathered around a table filled with simple clay cups, a carafe, and a few bites to eat, probably discussing close to the same details as Rae and I had.
Kendryx's smile warmed me from the inside out, and I was happy to move close to him and feel his arm around me, just like Thorodoth placed his around Rae, mindful of her injured shoulder.
"When will you go?" Thorodoth asked.
"The sooner the better," I replied, looking carefully at Kendryx, whose face didn't give anything away, but by the tension running through his body, I could tell he wasn't happy.
"It will get dark soon. How about tomorrow morning?" Thorodoth offered.
I would have preferred to leave now, but I understood. His men would have to lead me to a place from where I would find my way to the FOB, while they needed to return here.
The few rays of the Carmac sun were lessening and took even the little bit of warmth they brought with them. Small puffs of air emanated from our mouths and noses as we stood there, and despite the furs and my uniform, a chill moved through my body.
I wasn't keen on the idea of leaving at night either and resigned myself to spending the night here. Besides, judging by the bulge in Kendryx's pants, he was thinking the same thing as me.
Ever since we embarked on this mission, we had fucked at least once a day, if not twice, even three times wasn't unheard of, and now we hadn't touched each other since yesterday after we landed in Vandall territory, so both our libidos were running high.
I wasn't sure where our little infatuation was going, or if anywhere at all, but I wasn't about to say no to another tryst.
Iwasn'thappyaboutthe idea of letting Chrissy enter her FOB by herself, unprotected, but I also understood that, one, I would have stood out among the humans and probably been arrested the moment we set foot into the fortification, and two, Chrissy had to do this on her own terms. These were her people.
We came here for this exact reason, so she could try to talk some sense into her superiors. But I wished there would have been a way for me to accompany her, protect her.
All I could do was take her to the hut Thorodoth had generously offered us for the night and make sweet love to her to remind her how much she meant to me and that she wasn't alone. And kar, I also wanted to be on her mind.
I didn't worry about competition from a human male; she had all but told me that there was nobody else, and I believed her; but the need to claim her, to make her mine and proclaim it to all of Thyre, nearly overwhelmed me.
I hadn't told her that part yet, and I wouldn't now. When the time came, I wanted it to be special. Part of it was also that I wasn't sure how she would react. She was the most independent kallini I had ever met, and I didn't think she would welcome my claim.
During our time alone on the boat, we had done many sexual things, but no matter how many times we had fucked, it never seemed enough for me and with the way her body responded to me made me think it was the same for her.
The fire in the hut burned low to keep the smoke that would rise through the air vent to a minimum, shrouding the inside in semi darkness.
I pulled her into my arms the moment I closed the wooden door behind us and kissed her with all my longing and pain of letting her go. Her response was just as immediate. We hadn't touched much since we left the boat, and knowing that Thorodoth and his males had been following us, I was glad we hadn't given them a show. At the same time, though, I felt as if it had been an eternity since I had last been sheathed deep in her beautiful cunt.
My experience in peeling her out of her tight uniform had also grown, and while we kissed, we helped each other out of our clothes, needing the skin-to-skin contact.
I cupped her generous tits and was rewarded by one of her small moans that I loved so much. Just like I loved how she responded to me. We both knew that there was a fight of large proportions brewing between us just like we both knew how futile the fight would be, so we didn't say a word, just relished the other's body.
She moved one leg up, slung it around my waist, and my hand explored the soft, yet firm thigh and ass she offered. My other hand supported her back while she arched her upper body so my lips could find one of her hard nipples.
