Thread: Death Planet (DarkAngel76 and Kosmik_Khaos)

Cassidy could easily see that she had never been with a man by her reaction to his teasing. Though it didn't really surprise him it was still a bit unusual for a woman as attractive as Kaira and at her age to not know a man sexually. The look on her face when he called her a kid sent his pulse racing. 'Gods below this woman is gorgeous.' He admitted to himself. It took quite a bit of self control on his part to not just kiss her then and there consequences be damned. Yeah, kid. He replied to her with a smirk. I'm forty...sixty if you want to count the twenty years of cryo sleep before we all ended up on this shit heap. He stated matter of factly. Also I have lived far more than you in my fist ten years of life than you have your entire life so, if you still wish to act like an obstinate child I will gladly put you back over my knee. He threatened halfheartedly, though the thought of his hand against her ass again caused his erection to twitch. 'This girl is getting to you Cass. You don't have time to be playing with strays regardless of how attractive they are.' His thoughts stopped dead in their tracks. Again he had admitted that he was attracted to the girl laying against his body, and it wasn't just because she was naked and laying atop him. There was something beyond the annoying bratty exterior that drew him to her like a moth to the flame. Not bothering to argue the point of needing sleep with her, Cassidy let her attempt to fight the inevitable. Soon Kaira was sleeping with her head on his chest. Lying on the hard ground in a personal silence he noted Kaira's steady breathing against his chest, the soft sound of her breath escaping her lips that kept rhythm for the crackle of wood burning a few paces from their tangled bodies. As he laid there in the silence that only the knight could bring he noticed that every so often Kiara shifted and a definite heat was coming from between her legs. A small piece of him wanted to take claim to her body's reactions, while the majority ignored it completely. He had given her his word she would be safe with him and he wasn't about to break it because he was horny. Keeping his arms around her he stared out into the darkness beyond the light of the fire and let his mind wander. How was he going to protect her from his enemies, how was he going to keep her alive on a world that felt like it was designed specifically to kill people, and most importantly, how was he to deal with these feelings that this girl was unearthing after so many years. Those questions echoed in his mind for hours as he laid awake staring out into the darkness. After some hours a sound caught Cassidy's ear. Footsteps. Not human. Moving only his head so not to wake Kiara Cassidy stared out into the darkness, the firelight causing his emerald eyes to shine ominously. After a few moments a pack of Gruul appeared at the cave entrance. The beasts eyes reflected the firelight causing them to glow as they gazed at what was just beyond the barrier of light. Catching the eye on the Alpha, Cassidy stared the Gruul down. After a couple of second that seemed to stretch an eternity the Alpha dropped its ears and laid flat on the ground, followed by the rest of its small pack. In the short seconds that passed between the two, Cassidy established his dominance over the beasts in nothing more than a stare. Ever since the experiments he'd been able to connect on a primal level with all manner of beasts. It was the whole reason that he rode Bicona instead of a horse. Watching the pack lying passively outside the cave he knew that to them he was now an entity that stood higher than their alpha and that nothing would be able to get close to the cave without them attacking it first. With the added security Cassidy let his gaze roam to the ceiling of the cave idly watching the shadows dance over the faulted surface. After hours of lying awake with Kiara on top of him the first light of the suns stared to peak over the horizon. Soon he would have to wake the girl and start moving again. Turning his gaze to the gruul that still lurked outside of the cave the alpha stood, its pack following suit. Nodding to the animal it bowed its head before turning and leaving with its pack. Once the gruul were out of sight Cassidy began to gently stroke Kiara's back. It's time to wake up. The first sun was less than halfway above the horizon and the second was just starting to peak over. Come on girl, we don't have the luxury of sleeping the day away, we have a lot to do. He said shaking her gently to rouse her.
