Short and M rated. I've never published anything M rated before. If it's absolutely awful and needs to go away, I'd appreciate someone telling me!
I do not own these characters.


The mission had stretched on for far too long.

Outside of the base, he was in command, and she was his second. They were professional, never letting it slip to anyone outside of their team that they were bonded. The humans had no idea, although after this trip, it was highly likely that a few of them were starting to suspect that there was more to their relationship. This mission was supposed to have ended 8 days ago. That long of being so close, but unable to even touch each other, was taking a toll on them both.

When they finally stepped through the groundbridge back to the base, it was after midnight to the humans. They were exhausted, and Ratchet, being the chief medical officer, sent everyone to bed for a few hours rest before the debriefings began. One look at the Prime told him everything he needed to know, and he declared everyone, no matter the species, off duty until morning. He knew that the thanks he got from both of them had nothing to do with how tired they were.

They walked down the corridor together - her quarters were next to his, so anyone watching them leave would not be suspicious. They ensured that no one saw that only his door was opened.

Her back hit the wall before the door had even finished sealing. He kissed her hungrily as their armor disappeared into subspace or hit the floor, then he was inside her before either of their processors caught up with their actions. He paused to look into her optics, but vocal processors were useless at the moment. Her optics told him everything he needed to know, and he dipped his head back down to kiss her again as he resumed moving inside her.

Their shared need caused them to be rougher than usual as she met him thrust for thrust. Their movements became ragged as overload approached, and their systems shorted out and shut down at the same time.

They rebooted in the same position, leaning against the wall. He laughed as he stumbled backwards, falling onto the bed, still buried inside her. She flexed around him as she smiled down at him, sending shudders through both of their bodies.

"Round two?"
