Thread: Death Planet (DarkAngel76 and Kosmik_Khaos)

For a moment, Kaira forgot to breathe. Her lashes fluttered and she let her gaze drift somewhere that didn't make her head spin or her tummy warm. For some reason she felt embarrassed that she knew as little as she did. Sure, she'd caught men glancing her way, making suggestive gestures. Hell, one overly confident patron had tried to show her the ways of the world. But her knee had been swifter than his hands as he'd fumbled and miscalculated his actions. Hal had a field day with that asshole, but it hadn't stopped others from getting a grope in a time or two when the big guy wasn't looking. But it ended there. She'd been...fortunate. Course not, Kaira lied, her face blazing like the flames of the fire. She wondered if he saw through her, if he somehow knew and had decided to mercilessly tease. She pouted a little, her life wounded just a little bit. But soon she found herself settling in with Cassidy who just chuckled and draped his coat over them both for warmth. He talked more about 'east' and things that made the skin on her bones crawl with shivers. Looking down in Cassidy's eyes, his hand cupping her chin, Kaira felt that wave of uncertainty flood her veins. The way he looked at her, gaze intense and unwavering. It was enough to make her melt, to make her forget that monsters were real. How she hated the world she lived in. The future grim, bleak. She bit down on her lower lip as soon as the word 'kid' left his mouth. Her brows furrowed, a small crinkle forming along the bridge of her nose. Kid? Kaira restated. I'm hardly a kid, she spat. I'm twenty-one. She let out a small puff of air, slightly put out that this man thought her a child. She'd been around, experienced life. A child she was not! Then again, Kaira had never been with a man. Not really. She wondered if Cassidy gauged his women by their experience and...why did she care!? The jerk shot her, made fun of her and, worst of all, humiliated her. I'll sleep when I need it, Kaira protested, her hips shifting slightly of their own accord. Cassidy's hands were on her hips, her breasts squished against his bared chest. Somehow her legs fell about his, her blush only deepening at how intimate they'd look should someone happen upon them both. Not wanting to call anymore attention upon her embarrassment, Kaira laid her head down and sighed. More than anything, she wanted to prove to Cassidy that there was more to her than being some silly girl. But she doubted he'd ever see her as anything but... And then she heard his final comment, her breath catching as she gasped loudly and tried desperately to stifle the sound. But it was impossible given their situation. Kaira swallowed hard, but let out a tiny 'humph' despite it all. There was no way she'd sleep now. She couldn't. She wouldn't! She fought sleep, not wanting Cassidy to be right about them needing their rest. But it was impossible. She was beyond exhausted and her body still rather sore from Cassidy's earlier lesson. She glanced at the fire, the blaze burning brightly against the dark sky. Slowly, she drifted off to sleep, her dreams coming and going out of her control. More than once she saw Cassidy's face as she slept, the intent in his eyes enough to make her pant, while she grew damp between her legs.
