Thread: Venus Ascending [Chai & Alkaline]

Dominic could still feel his arm tingling from where she'd touched him. He knew he was just imagining it, of course, but it certainly had felt nice, even if it was just a casual gesture. I've spent far too much time with these Adirans , he thought to himself, dropping back just a step to let Kaisa take the lead up the ramp. Truth was, avoiding people was kind of his thing. Couldn't find it in himself to trust too many of them, and especially not a fellow human. At least the Adirans were predictable, and predictable was safe. Weren't much for fucking though, and that was apparently starting to wear on him if a simple touch on the wrist was enough to get his blood boiling. Of course he couldn't deny that a strikingly beautiful, confident, and aggressive woman was his achilles heel as well. Maybe I haven't spent enough time with these Adirans, he told himself as his eyes fell down her body, stealing a glance at her ass as it snapped back and forth with each step. They may be boring as shit, but can't deny they take care of business efficiently. With a soft sigh, he shook his head a bit and painfully pulled his eyes back up towards his ship, her question bringing him back to reality. Hmm... I was led to believe you had a sense of humor that was a little more developed than that of a teenage boy, he said teasingly, hand gently resting against Kaisa's shoulder as he moved her to the side and stepped in front of her to open the airlock. As he pressed his palm against a panel, neon blue lights backlit against his hand, a little humming noise kicking in as it scanned his biometrics. Though I will say, big and black is only satisfying for most if it lasts. Sadly this one's incredibly fast and you likely won't find much pleasure from her as a result. Winking as he said it, the door disengaged and opened up wide, a pleasant British voice chiming in from overhead with a Welcome aboard, Mr. Ryan. Smiling, he turned back over his shoulder towards Kaisa, before pointing to the ceiling in reference to the voice. You are welcome to fly the ship, but only if Emily gives permission first. She's the real star of the show, to be honest. Like I said, it has paid off to be subtle in my case, and being able to afford a top of the line onboard AI is one of the nicer perks... Now, Emily, my dear, do you think we should let Kaisa fly the ship? After only a brief pause, the doors at the end of the hall popped open, a string of lights flickering along the very corner of the ceiling, ushering the two of them towards the cockpit before the AI responded. Venus Kaissandra Holland, also known as the Bloody Rose, has multiple incidents on her record, most notably the destruction of at least three separate vessels of which she was the primary pilot on board. While her combat record indicates an advanced affinity for flying, it also shows a penchant for reckless endangerment and it is not recommended that she be allowed to pilot this ship. It would be far safer to continue letting me navigate with your assistance, Mr. Ryan. With a rather fake frown, Dom turned back towards the woman and gave a shrug. Doesn't seem like Em likes you very much, so you'll have to sit this one out for now, he said before plopping into one of the two cockpit seats, legs immediately kicking up onto a footrest as he brandished a key and plugged it into the dash. We won't receive clearance for take off for at least an hour though... Want me to show you around or you think you can take care of yourself without running off on me?
