laaaa la bomba



Maybe it is because Sikozu is tired in a way she has never been tired before - a soft, dulling burn all through her body, exhausted from the extreme expenditure of energy it took to irradiate the Scarrans in the heart of Katratzi, tired and yet buzzing with energy - but she doesn't feel like dancing and feinting anymore. She stares at Scorpius as he asks his question - more to fill the air and excuse him from meeting her eyes, she guesses, than out of a real deep desire to know the duration of a bioloid's full recovery period - and she is done. It doesn't matter anymore. And she can feel the ripple of an impending sea change, through him, through everyone on Moya, originating from the impossible blow a ridiculous group of fugitive misfits dealt to the most powerful empire in known space. The destruction of the mother plant and the exposure of her most closely guarded secrets make her fed up with being static, make her long for action. So she takes it.

He is looking away but she can tell he knows she's coming as she rises and crosses the room to where he stands at the bars of the converted cell, watching the shadows in the deserted hall. She can feel his tension, too, because they both know that this is a long time coming but perhaps he does not feel as prepared for it as she does. He doesn't resist when she stands close and turns his chin, exposed skin warm in a way she never quite expects, though admittedly her experience with his skin is naturally limited. Her movements are slow but without hesitation and at least part of him is swept up in it too because he bends to meet her height as she leans up on her toes to press her lips to his. Chaste at first, just a touch of her soft skin to the odd texture of his. Slow but deliberate, she turns her head, touches again, delicate and as yet undemanding. That he does not react at first doesn't deter her. She can't tell what he is thinking - truly his mind is the first real challenge the universe has posed her and the bare fact that she doesn't know what he is thinking as she kisses him fascinates her almost unbearably - but through half-lidded eyes she can see the concern building on his face. The same concern she has seen on him in glances and shades since she flared up like a sun in a field of flowers. Given the way he presents himself, the tension and the power play between them, between him and everyone he encounters, it is almost a wonder that his face can form an expression like that, but somehow it does and it makes something warm and low in her flutter and it makes her want him all the more. His depth, his complexity, his intelligence and determination. Like an animal he shies and tries to pull away and like a hunter she pursues, pulls him back and presses deeper, takes a taste of him to bait the hook and waits to feel the shift in him that will let her know that he has given up whatever scared him and let go to how much she knows he wants her.

Scorpius hisses into the bite when she takes his lip, flickers his tongue at the fronts of her teeth and peels his mouth back into a rapacious grin.

"As am I," he breathes, as though she requires any assurance of that truth after a cycle in his indomitable company. His fingers bite into her through the leggings, nails unapologetically snapping threads and then clamping under the pleasant swell of her posterior. "Please, take the hood. The seal will release as you lift it."

It would be kinder to do the work himself. He knows she is sensitive to his well-being--has had a taste of the peculiar wants and needs of his hybrid physiology--and she has not yet been presented a situation in which he would willingly remove any part of his protective shell. She can guess at the gravity of the request and in accepting take, if she'd like, responsibility for whatever harm might come to him as a consequence.

But he hungers for her body--its texture and its heat, and he expects he can trust her to trust him not to throw himself into mortal peril for the sake even of a much-needed release.

His eyes remain shut long enough for the cool leather to part completely with his flesh, and he breathes in Sikozu's hot breath in the same microt the ambient temperature sets fire to his nerves. The always-exposed portions of his face are naturally the part of his anatomy most resistant to warm air, or the heat of another body. But his scalp is far more susceptible to them, and the pain, when it comes, is not insubstantial.

However, that very same sensitivity makes her touch...exquisite. The muscles tense through his abdomen as she kisses him, and his hips lift into her on reflex while her soft, attentive mouth serves as just the distraction he needs to adjust to the change and reclaim a bit of his usual composure.

When Scorpius turns his naked hand around her leg and then his thumb down her inner thigh, sidling it into the junction of her leg and her body, he can feel her arousal like a lick of flame along the back of his knuckles.

Of course, Sikozu’s preferred mode of dress leaves little work to the imagination; the difference when she finally shows him an uninterrupted track of flesh is minor and at the same time so vast it commands a powerful force of will not to consume her with every sense at once. He does not rush her as she undresses--he instead lock eyes with hers, his awareness sipping at the slopes of her naked torso at the limits of his vision.

All the while, he screws his thumb's bony knuckle down where it meets resistance above the damp crease between her parted thighs, angling himself forward subtly to scoop the tip of his tongue beneath her chin.

She is exquisitely crafted, in every detail. The scent of needy female hangs heady in his nostrils, and the question does cross his mind whether the physiological symptoms of her excitement are completely involuntary or whether they are an artfully executed ruse. The possibility of the latter does nothing to diminish the mood, however. If anything, her remaining mysteries inflame his desire to explore her.

Every scrap of clothing she removes, as testament to her commitment to proceed, is more electrifying than the colorful skin she bares in the process. Though susceptible to visual stimulation as any male, Scorpius appreciates the eroticism of intent.

He accepts the kiss like a gulp of heady liquor,drawing out her tongue with a caress and sucking down the taste of her until it feels at home inside of him. He wishes to sample her every distinct vintage--her sweat, her sex, her blood. But despite the animal urgency knotting his guts, he feels no particular need to rush, and to have them all at once, even on the heels of an adventure that has doubtlessly reminded them both of their inconvenient mortality.

There will be time later to have her in other ways--perhaps not time enough to have her in all the ways he can imagine, but that may demand the luxury of more than one lifetime.

Recalling his damp fingers from between Sikozu’s thighs, he deftly unlatches his belt from under the edge of his codpiece, which could have been so minute a motion so as not to have existed at all, but Scorpius intends for her to notice, shifting his hips until her simulated weight causes the loose side to rock under her.

Her fingers encounter his, still residually cool from his glove but perceptibly dewy with evidence of her readiness, and Scorpius threads them together, his palm to the back of her hand as he guides her fingers against the catch under the edge at the codpiece. At the same time, his Scarran blood gives a throb of pained longing at the hot aura her hand brings with it through the broken seal. His emerging cock twitches with his heartbeat and curves heavily into the back of the displaced leather cup.

When he flicks his tongue off the knife edge of her incisor, Scorpius breaks from Sikozu's lips, mouth open, panting ever-so-slightly as he meets her eye to eye. He draws his palm back along her wrist delicately, tracing the webbing of flesh between her knuckles.

Words threaten, right at the tip of his tongue, but the moment has no use for language--only an animal understanding that passes back and forth between them with each breath.
