I dove through a door behind her and had enough sense to lie flat on the seat while pulling the door closed when the first bullets zipped by me. I rolled to the floor when Chrissy made the vehicle move forward and heard loud clicking sounds and a whirr. As I came up from the floor, I figured out the clicking had been the doors locking. I caught a glimpse of a window rolling up, which explained the whirr, but then I was flung forward as Chrissy slowed and turned the vehicle sharply.
I righted myself again and climbed into the front, next to Chrissy, while loud pinging sounds announced the impact of many bullets firing at us.
"They won't get to us. The vehicle is armored, short of a missile—shit."
Another loud noise coming from the sky made me lift my head, but I couldn't see anything through the darkened roof. I guessed that one of the flying machines I had seen taking off and which Chrissy had called choppers was upon us.
Chrissy zigzagged the Humvee, and I held on to a handle I found near the roof, while Chrissy let loose a string of curses I would have never thought to hear coming from the lips of a kallini.
Something hit the ground next to us with a loud bang, and the Humvee jumped into the air before its tires made contact with the ground again so hard, I bit my tongue.
I didn't even have time to appreciate the incredible speed with which the vehicle was taking us forward as another impact, this time to our left, lifted the Humvee again.
Up ahead, I saw the forest coming closer.
"I'll run the Humvee straight into those bushes. As soon as we stop, we need to run, okay?" Chrissy uttered between clenched teeth.
Even with her face all scrunched up in concentration and even with the threat of death looming over us, I thought I had never seen a more beautiful kallini than her and knew that, should we die right here, I would have died a happy male by her side.
Something hit the back of the vehicle and pushed us forward and me nearly into the windshield, while Chrissy's hands gripped the steering wheel so hard, I thought her knuckles would pop out. An acrid smell made me gag and heat spread through the vehicle.
"We've been hit," Chrissy spat out just as we hit the first bushes. "Out, out, out," she yelled.
Since I had no idea how to open the door, I pushed myself forward over Chrissy's seat and through the door she had already opened, following on her heels.
Another explosion—the fourth tonight?—rocked our world and propelled me forward. I grabbed Chrissy and rolled with her on the ground, making sure to take the brunt of the hit when we landed on our backs.
The Humvee was in flames. Black, noxious smoke rose into the air, and the flames were blinding.
"Are you alright?" I asked Chrissy, getting her and me back on our feet. My eyes searched her body and face frantically for any sign of injury.
"I'm alright. But we need to get going."
"This way." I grabbed her hand and led her through the denser trees toward where I told Thorodoth to expect us, which was back in the direction of Chrissy's FOB.
It didn't take long until we ran into Thorodoth and his group. Their eyes were alight with happiness over the destruction of the human stronghold.
"You did it," Thorodoth beamed.
Heavily panting, Chrissy and I stopped, and I caught her head swiveling toward the burning FOB. Guilt warred with relief at having accomplished what we set out to do, but a smile spread her lips. "We did."
She turned to me. "We really did." And she flung herself against me.
I caught her easily enough and pressed her against my chest, relieved that we were in one piece, uninjured and still breathing. I held her as tightly as I dared without breaking every bone in her body and buried my face in her thick, red hair, deeply inhaling her sweet scent mixed with the smell of fire and acrid smoke.
I framed her face with my hands and planted a deep kiss on her lips, reveling in the awareness that we were alive.
She pressed herself firmly against me. Her breathing deepened, and I realized it wasn't just from our ordeal, she was as aroused as me.
"You better get out of here if you don't want a show," I growled at Thorodoth, not even looking at him as I grabbed my mate's ass and pulled her up on me.
Onsomelevel,Iwas aware of Kendryx's words,you better get out of here if you don't want a show, and Thorodoth's hasty retreat, but I really didn't care. All I cared about were Kendryx's arms around me, his hands on my ass and his lips pressing down on mine again.
I lifted a leg, and guessing what I wanted, Kendryx accommodated me and helped me sling both of them around his midsection so I could press my hot core against his already iron-hard erection.
He kept me up with one hand, while his other fumbled to open the front of my uniform and to push my bra up. The second my tits made contact with the cool air, my nipples pebbled, or maybe it was from his hand on one, it was hard to tell. All I knew was that I wanted him, needed him.
After what we had just been through, I needed to feel him inside me, needed my body to spiral into an orgasm that would at least temporarily make me forget what had happened and what I had done.
