I met you. I dont mind being yours. The more time we spend together, the more it isnt enough. I miss you when youre gone on shifts. I cant wait for you to walk through the door. And I get a bit depressed when I think about the day when you arent coming home to me.
I think about you the entire time Im on duty.
She smiled.
He grinned back. Lets finish watching this vid. Im interested in seeing the end. I didnt believe Id enjoy this, but I do.
She snuggled into him and stared up at the screen as the story finished. It was a sweet love story. It made her wish that she and Deviant would have a happy ending. There was so much uncertainty though with their future.
Youve tensed.
Sorry.
He turned them both and pinned her under him. What is it?
She didnt hesitate to share her thoughts with him. Im worried about whats going to happen to you if Stag discovers Im here before we reach Garden. Youre going to have to smuggle me off the shuttle, the same way you got me on, arent you?
We wont be docking. The Varnish will land on the surface of our planet. Youll walk off this shuttle at my side.
That surprised her. So were just hoping hes busy and wont notice me?
Once we reach Garden, my assignment is at an end. Stag will no longer be in command of me. He might be angry, but he cant do anything except file a complaint with the council.
Are they as bad as Earths ruling system?
No. They are fair. Twelve cyborgs sit on the council, and some members have joined into family units with Earther women.
The shocks kept coming. Oh.
Stag really hates Earthers but most cyborgs are more reasonable. He shared some of his past experiences with me and none were good.
They just fear were spies?
Yes. Its a valid concern.
Youd think EG had better things to do than bother with cyborgs.
They probably fear we want to attack Earth but thats not the case. We fled and have settled on another world. Ive never met a single cyborg who wished he could return.
She touched Deviant, tracing her fingers over his chest. I dont blame them. The only thing Im going to miss is my sister.
Im sorry you had to leave her behind. It must have been very difficult.
It was. Her husband is a fantastic man and theyre planning on starting a family soon. Hes worked hard to accomplish what he has with his company. I would never have asked them to uproot and start over as space refugees. Love sometimes means letting go. Theyre better off there. I was the one who had to leave.
Perhaps one day you can send your sister a message to let her know youre doing well.
Its too risky.
He leaned in and brushed his mouth over hers. Im glad you left Earth.
She kissed him back, feeling grateful as well. Shed always envied her sister finding her husband. Venices luck with men had been crap until Deviant had walked into that automated brothel. She wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him closer. She never wanted to let him go.
A bell chimed and Deviant groaned, breaking away from her mouth. My father has the worst timing.
She grinned, releasing him. Cleansing unit?
Yes.
He climbed out of bed and she followed, making a dash for the corner, ever worried someone would pass in the corridor and catch a glimpse of her when Deviant opened the door to admit Mavo.
She stepped inside the unit, sealing it, and waited for him to tell her it was safe to come out.
Deviant had to adjust his stiff cock in his pants and snagged a shirt, putting it on as the bell chimed again. It would cover his hard-on, the material draping over his lap area. He wondered why his father had returned. Mavo should still be on shift.
He slapped his palm over the pad to unlock the doorand realized who waited on the other side a split-second before he faced Stag.
Do you want to explain to me why we have an extra life sign on my ship?
Deviant could tell the commander was furious. Stag had come to him, specifically, for answers, which meant he already knew Deviant was hiding someone in his quarters. I can explain.
Earther, right? Stag lunged, pushed him out of the way and glared at the bed, then slowly fixed his attention on the sealed cleansing unit. Female?
Deviant backed up and blocked access to it. Shes not a
