[OOM] Simulator Room

Juke left, juke right, juke left, juke right; lure your opponent into a false sense of security, make him think he knows exactly what you're going to do.

Lasers flash by on the screen.

One last juke to the right, and there's the light-up of a targeting lock; she yanks the stick back and to the left, throwing the sim fighter into a tight roll that should press her back against the seat with its force. Of course, this machine isn't nearly complex enough for that.

She's got to find some way to throw the Priamsta off guard like that. To catch the rebels--the ones who say they're lead by Harran but they're not they can't be--off guard and--

The flash of an explosion and the screen goes dark.

"Sithspit!" Plourr slams an open palm against the overhead frame of the simulator, then lets her hand rest there, hooked on the frame.

She runs her other hand over her head in an unconscious motion; auburn stubble still foreign to the touch, too rough and scratchy. Hell, her whole body feels foreign; her tunic is smooth and skintight, eggshell-colored with deep purple, allowing every cord of muscle to show. She's not used to anything so fine, and she's definitely not used to the matching skirt, to seeing her legs bare in anything but athletic shorts. High heels. She'd drawn whistles from the Rogues that afternoon; joking whistles, yes, and ones that had earned several of them glares and thwappings, but she had caught admiring looks from not a few men at court, too. From the nobles at dinner.

Dinner.

"The tyranny of the nobles is at an end, Laabann. I will see to that. If you wish a place in the future of Eiattu, either stand with the throne-- or fall."

The crash of a breaking wineglass.

"The choice is yours."


Plourr hits the top of the simulator again.

Yes. That was it. That was really it. Simple, good and the ache wasn't for anything other than the urge to press against Plourr.

High Command had always understood. Soldiers had needs. Aeryn never gave it much thought before, but now she knew.

Hopelessness, depression; none of it was an option when the blood started rushing like that. All there could be was the cool feel of her lips over yours and the way your arms pulled her closer.

She muttered a curse word, low and dirty. Leaned into Plourr; like ice, melting over capable hands.

And this wasn't what she came here for, but she did it anyway.

Eyes opened, she tugged her face back, only to move forward again. Her nose was touching Plourr's, pressing an indent.

Wry amusement. "We've got to stop meeting like this."

"Yes --" Her tongue flicked out to touch the lower lip in front of her, nostrils flared, but she stayed just as still as the princess.

"We do."

Pads of her fingers, touched the back of Plourr's tunic, softly wins the day.

Just drifting. It was almost a relief to just drift away on the tide of warmth and safeness and had Plourr said she was strong?

Yes. There was nothing to feel guilty about.

A step backwards to better balance herself, her foot closed on something hard and she stumbled, breaking the kiss.

Plourr's grip was hard, Aeryn knew there'd be more bruises. Seemed fitting somehow.

She was still caught there, kept from falling further by some very tight muscles. The look of open-mouthed shock on her face quickly morphed to a smile and she pulled herself back up, using the momentum to push Plourr against the nearby sim.

"Thanks."

"A concussion is the perfect way to say 'let's frell'."

Aeryn yanked at the tunic with a frown.

"Do I have to cut you out of this thing?"

Aeryn was...sort of distracted, fingers sliding over the now bare skin. It never stopped being fascinating, how soft and hard Plourr was at the same time.

"What?" She craned her neck. "It should. You want me to?"

[identity profile] just-a-soldier.livejournal.com 2006-06-14 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
"I know."

Reluctantly, she let her hand drop, leaving damp marks on Plourr's belly from eager fingers.

She walked fast, practically stalking across the room and looked for a latch. There wasn't one.

Her eyes swung sideways automatically, scanning for options. A table. Big. Heavy. Difficult to move. Sure, it might have been simpler to go back to their quarters, but she wanted Plourr now.

"Help me move this?"

"Jaina would kill us if she knew. This place is her pride and joy."

The idea brought a quick grin to her face. Like somehow they were soiling the room, marking it. As much as Wes had been with black and yellow paint. She'd be willing to bet they weren't the first either. Aeryn didn't think she'd ever look at this room the same way again.

Her eyes travelled, up, then down. She took her time to look, because she hadn't the first time.

"You're beautiful, you know. Bruised and perfect." It was the kind of stupid thing people said in the heat of the moment, but she meant it then.

"I must be crazy."

Aeryn exhaled and dragged her simple black t-shirt over her head, tossing it past her shoulder.

"But I don't care. And..." She looked at Plourr doubtfully, thumbs making circle patterns on her waist. "...this is a table."

She talked too much. She really talked too much.

Nerves. Every damn time. Butterflies in her stomach and doubt and it was stupid. This wasn't love, this was fondness and frelling and -- oh that was nice.

"Pervert." She breathed against Plourr's very full lips, fingertips travelling down the line of her stomach. They followed the colour of the bruising on her ribs, barely touching' admiring.

Hadn't Plourr learned anything about patience from last time?

Aeryn would leave her quivering, unsatisfied without meaning it. Just by the very nature of those hands, that slowness, the preciseness. Those callouses had held weapons, had held very lives and now they just held Plourr; held her fast and too soft.

She half-touched her lips to the one's in front of her, wet and warm.
