Thread: Death Planet (DarkAngel76 and Kosmik_Khaos)

Cassidy watched the girl closely. They had been in the rain for hours and the wastes held almost no heat at night. She was cold, almost dangerously so. He could see it on her face, dark circles and pale lips with a faint blue hue. It didn't occur to him to look away as she undressed. He wanted to see her body, check her for wounds. It would do him no good to try and save her life just to let an infection kill her slowly. Cocking an eyebrow at her defiant tone he smirked at the challenge. Do you really want to keep your most sensitive areas covered in cold, wet cloth to chafe you until you bleed? He asked not really caring about the answer. With a quick two steps he closed the small distance between the two of them and snatched both her wrists in one hand. Lifting her arms high above her head he spun her to face away from him and unclasped her bra. Pulling her arms down he knelt on one knee and bent her at the waist over the other. Still holding her wrist in his shackle like grip he reared back his free hand and brought it down in a firm slap across both her cheeks with an echoed crack. Quit acting like a obstinate child. He said firmly as he grabbed the waistband of her panties and peeled them from her and took them to her ankles. Letting go of her wrists he stood and straighten her up with a firm grip on both her shoulders. Be still. He commanded with absolute authority . Looking her body up and down the only injury he could see on her front was the bruise he caused. It would hurt for a while, and if she let it, it will lock up her shoulder. Letting her shoulders go he cupped her face and lifted her chin up and looked straight into her eyes checking her pupils. Head injuries where nothing to play with. After his quick check of her eyes he let her face go and spun her around to face the fire. Start rubbing your chest and stomach. You need to get your core warm. Don't worry about your arms and legs, they can take care of themselves. He said while rubbing his hands together. Once his palms were warm he put them on her back and started to rub her back with surprising tenderness. You are going to have to forget whatever is in your past and learn to trust me Kaira. I can tell what kind of woman you are and I know at the next town you won't be happy with just getting dumped off. I know you will stick with me because why the hell not, I'm a complete stranger but I am the only familiar thing left in your life. He paused for a moment his hands still caressing her back, returning blood flow and warmth to her body. I had no reason to give you that gun and hide you. I had no reason to take you away from that place. I have no reason to be keeping you alive now. I don't need a reason though. I am going to do it. Lets sit. Again not giving her a chance to argue he pulled her down as he lowered himself to the ground sitting her on his lap. Cassidy was so concerned about keeping her alive, that his mind was unaware that he had a pretty, naked, woman on his lap. Give me your arm. He said while grabbing her left arm and extending it straight out. Holding her arm up with his left hand he poke and prodded her shoulder with his right. He could feel the swelling and bruising in the muscles. This wont feel great. He said just as he pressed his thumb firmly into the tense muscles and started to work out the stiffness. But if you let it sit, it will be much worse.
