Title: Searing Heat

Pairings: Sikozu/Scorpius

When: Set just after the kiss in We're so screwed: La Bomba

Summary: Smut and perhaps some after-glow stuff and a conversation or two if the mood takes me.

Disclaimer: I don't own any of Farscape, wish I did, but it isn't going to happen.

Author's note: I love the Sikozu/Scorpius pairing; it was one of the best parts of Farscape. And I can't find that many shippers. Sequel to Hesitation. Possibly more to follow in a series of S/S fanfics. Also, does Scorpius have balls? I'm assuming Sebaceans have theirs exposed, but Scarrens don't, and Scorpius' father was a Scarren. I don't know, any ideas?

Chapter 1

After those first hesitant kisses they were lost, lost in the heat of the moment, in each other's company, in each other's kisses. Scorpius had his hand through the bar, caressing Sikozu's silken skin through the bars of the door. She moaned under the touch of the leather gloves of his coolant suit. Unfortunately, because of the doors, their access to one another was greatly restricted, a fact that was fast becoming insufferable to both Scorpius and Sikozu.

'Sikozu,' growled Scorpius, breaking off their kiss and breathing heavily, 'would you mind opening the doors and coming inside?'

'Of course not,' she replied breathlessly, speaking Pilot was certainly an advantageous skill to had aboard Moya.

She soon had the doors open, and was quickly swept up in to Scorpius' arms before being carried to his bed and rather roughly set down, she grinned mischievously and reached upward to draw him down to her, capturing his lips with her own as she did so. Scorpius' usually rational mind was suddenly overpowered by the sensation of her lithe body pressed flush against his own, it had been rather a long time since he had indulged in pleasures of the flesh. His hands moved down her body, cupping her rounded breasts, stroking softly down her exposed waist before roughly moving his hands to cup her arse as he bit her bottom lip, causing her to wrap her legs around him and emit a satisfying moan of desire. It was a good job she knew how to replace his coolant rods so efficiently.

Sikozu was thoroughly enjoying the way things were progressing, although she wished things would go somewhat faster. As if sensing her desire, Scorpius pulled down the shoulders of her top, and then lifted her up so he could unfasten the straps that ran down her lower back. He peeled the material off her warm skin which had a rosy glow of arousal to it that was extremely aesthetically pleasing. Her warmth to his coolness as it were. Her eyes were shut and her head lolled back as he caressed her breasts pinching her nipples. The leather against her body felt exquisite. Nevertheless, she swiftly removed his shoulder pads and upper body suit, relishing the feeling of his unusually textured skin on her own. Scorpius emitted a low growl as her breasts pressed against his now exposed chest. She was beautiful, a delicacy to be enjoyed, and not to be shared. He hoped, suddenly, irrationally, that she would not be too repulsed by his own physique, which certainly lacked any truly pleasing attributes, unless one enjoyed mottled greyish skin, which he knew, most females did not, but would put up with in return for something or other. He thrust this thought from his mind as Sikozu extracted herself from their embrace and slowly stripped off the rest of her clothing. Naked, she was even more magnificent than usual, beauty, he knew, could be appreciated, without being associated with feelings of a tender nature.

Sikozu wondered briefly what was going on in her soon-to-be-lover's brilliant mind as she stood naked before him, however, any of her rational thoughts soon became overpowered by a sudden lust for the man in front of her, much stronger than anything she had previously felt. She straddled him for a couple of microts, unzipping his trousers, before pulling him to his feet so she could remove them. He was a sight to behold. She took a moment to ponder on how other people must see the man before her, for her part she was enchanted with him, always eager to discover novel things and participate in novel experiences. Her musings were interrupted by Scorpius picking her up, and placing her more gently than he had previously done on his bed. Her piercing green eyes gazed up at him, waiting for him to make the first move; she could allow him a little control, if that was what he wanted.

Scorpius paused contemplating the woman beneath him, who was seemingly willing to give herself to him. Before they could continue however, Scorpius had to make something clear. He respected this woman and she was an ally to him, and therefore he owed her a chance to refuse him, if she wished to change her mind.

'Sikozu,' he said, in a voice softer than his everyday tone, 'because of the way I was conceived, I will never force myself upon any woman, no matter what I may become, therefore, I am offering you the opportunity to refuse me now, for, if we continue, I warn you that there will be no going back unless I say so: you will be mine. Is that understood?'

Sikozu shivered under his penetrating gaze, but nodded.

'I doubt I will be gentle with you, most of the time, as it is not in my nature, I am afraid my carnal desires can sometimes be rather brutal, though I would not intentionally harm you in any permanent way, unless you betray me. You are of course free to leave now, if that is your wish.'

'Scorpius,' Sikozu whispered, 'I could never refuse you.'

In response to this consent, Scorpius crushed his lips against hers, eliciting another moan from Sikozu who felt the heat of her arousal pooling between her legs, Scorpius' fingers dipped lower and lower down her body, trailing fire in their path, lighting her up. They soon dipped down into her warm and wet flesh, where Scorpius quickly located the nub of her arousal and rubbed softly, making her gasp. Inwardly he smiled grimly, he may be ruthless and cruel at times, but he was occasionally a gentleman. He increased the speed of his ministrations until she was writhing beneath him, flushed and abandoned in a way that was immensely gratifying. Looking into his lover's eyes, he positioned himself above her, taking her in one powerful thrust. She groaned loudly, and her hips rose to meet his. Soon they were matching each other in brutal thrusts, both growling and moaning. Scorpius positioned his hands on her hips and lifted her so he could drive deeper, gripping her hard enough to bruise, as she raked her nails down his back. With a couple more thrusts, Scorpius felt Sikozu rise to her peak, her inner walls contracting around him as he pounded erratically into her and lost himself in his own climax. Gasping, he rolled off her, and she quickly attended to his cooling rods, which he was thankful for.

Sikozu lay back, breathing heavily, noting that that was the best sex she had ever experienced. She turned to Scorpius, and found him off the bed, already redressing.

'I suggest you do the same, my dear, I'm sure everyone is occupied, but you can never be too cautious.' He told her. She swiftly did as he commanded, thinking it best to appear compliant.

'Scorpius,' she said once she was dressed, but was cut off,

'You may go now, of course.'

She was a little put out by this.

'I only wondered,' she continued, 'why you kept your mask on.'

He hesitated for a moment, and then replied;

'Well, Sikozu, for one, my brain is of course the most delicate part of my anatomy and therefore is the part of me that must be the most carefully regulated under strenuous conditions; although I am sure you had already thought of that. The second thing is, that although I am accustomed to what I look like, and have fully come to terms with my appearance, I do not willingly show all of my face to others, as most would find it repellent.'

Sikozu considered this,

'The first reason, I had thought of, and fully understand. The second however, represents a slight error of judgement on your behalf; I obviously do not consider you to be repellent in any sense of the word.'

Scorpius smiled slightly at this declaration.

'Thank you my dear, but be careful, any one would think you cared for me.'

And with that remark, he kissed her roughly and carried her to her room, rationalising that she would still be weak from her encounter with the Scarrans.
