I don't see much of the exchange, I'm focused on keeping a bead on. When Jazz fires, however, I glance around, keeping an eye out for enraged accomplices.
Since we're in the nicest part of Kestic, the buildings are less crowded and cleaner, making it harder to hide. Luckily, there's some sort of art piece on the roof of the luxury bath house next door. I'm nestled into the bowl that a fountain spills …
I glance at Kelb, noting her body posture, her avoiding looking at Captain Dene. Are they having a lover's spat?
Goddess, Kelb gets around. Does she even like men? Was she so drunk she forgot what heat I'm packing? She's a curious one.
"Maturity comes from behavior, not age, Pem. And you were acting a fool in there. That kind of druk ruins lives." I shake my head. "Also, I'm a good soldier, always have been. Kelb wanted you retrieved, I retrieved you."
I carry him until we're just out of line of sight of 14's place, then set him down to walk on his own two feet the rest of the way. I walk uncomfortably close, though, in case he tries to rabbit.
I've dealt with gambling addicts before. I know how…
"That makes two of us. At least I have my chain." Since it was arguably decorative, they let me hold onto it at the club. "I'll keep back, step in if things get hairy. We could go back to the club, get our weapons, hit this guy when he's leaving the…
Once upon a time, it made me sick to hurt women, especially seemingly innocent ones.
But that was a long time ago, and since then I have had many a women's fist or foot in my face, stomach or groin. It's made me less inherently respectful of women …
I know that she was born to a terraformer. She thus grew up in, and was strongly involved with, a group of aggressive lobbyists that fought to prevent environmental protections.
I see Kelb's reaction, and grit my teeth in frustration.
Goddess, she tastes good. I pull her up, pulling her thigh forward against my waist, encouraging her to wrap her legs around met. La'resha can get a room ready for us - this will be the first time I'll have taken her up on the offer, but she's obser…
"Are you looking for me to give you permission for a night or three of hot, thoroughly enjoyable sex?" I slide my hand down to rest just above the curve or her rear. "Because you have it. Should I write it down?"
I let out a bark of surprised laughter. "Hardly! There's no one in this room who begins to compare to you." I run my hands from her hips up along her ribcage for emphasis. "I'm just coming down off my merc high, it's no big thing. Are you not having…
"Well, I knew this Rishi once..." I smile, then slide my arm around her waist. I dance, using the skill I have, but cold jealousy has doused much of my fire.
I state at Squall's retreating back, then at Kelb's disappointed body posture. My lekku curl against my neck as I consider the situation. "Did you get some disappointing news?"
I step away to get Kelb another drink. Squall is such a buzz kill for me. Not only is she a chaos maker, but I'm more and more certain she's already tread the path I'm trying to. This grates on my nerves.
As I weave my way back to Kelb with her dri…
I move forward with her so she can still hear me, although I don't draw her into myself again. "I believe in the goddess," I say. Mostly true. I was raised to believe in the goddess, anyway. "Feminine power, grace, wisdom, and wrath. The Masculine r…
A flash of surprise, a little annoyance - but then I see that she really means it. Instead of delving into slaving practices, I move her hips with my own again. "Because we are just as dedicated to celebrating the physical joys of life as we are the…
I pull her in close to my front, pressing against her back, rotating her hips with mine, then slowly dip us both backward until she's stretched on top of me. As I rise, my free hand running down her side, I spin her in my arms and squeeze her waist.…
I notice Kelb taking cues from Squall. Decidedly displeasing. As I study the body language between them further, I become even more annoyed.
I maneuver myself between the two women, then slide my hands along Kelb's hips, guiding her movements. It'…
I keep my annoyance at the inclusion of the techie subdued as I retrieve Kelb's drink. Well, no matter - I'm a Twi'lek, for goddess' sake. If I can't outdance an idiot, trouble making Rattataki, I should just go ahead and cut off my lekku.
