I'm back and yes...I know it took me a while to post something. But my Miss4 has been struggling with what we think are migraines she is having tests run over the next two weeks. My poor little miss...Anyway super excited about the sequel. Yes this is the sequel. I kept running into walls and snags with my original concept and was on the verge of giving up. But then my wonderful twin sister who has been my biggest writing fan for years helped me come up with this plot. I am not shelving the other plot completely. I am going to write it. It will just be down the line when I get used to writing Voltron fan fics. Amber

Corruption Chapter 1: VF

It was 3AM Arus time and a woman engaged her link. She was connected directly to her contact. "Sir…I have yet to obtain the left hand's location. The ace is still in play. Our greatest treasure will be ours again soon."

"We won't have leverage until the seed's planted. Is it?"

"Not yet but it is ripe for blooming."

"Maintain your distance and observe only. Time will tell soon enough."

Allura was fighting to break free of her restraints. She watched in horror as Lotor ordered his henchmen to take that lovely couple. Her eyes were burning with tears of rage and fear. Her heart was in her throat but she was determined to protect them. Allura screamed. "Let them go! They've done nothing!"

The ship began to move. Lotor sneered. "You're right they haven't." He went to the door he saw the shaking couple. "Having a romantic picnic where you? Anyone else with you?"

"No…just us!" The man said. Allura saw that he was young and nice looking. He had blond hair and green eyes.

Lotor smiled cruelly. "What's your names?"

The woman looked at her Queen her red hair fell just to her shoulders. "We are Shawn and Mia Feeney of Chozzorai. Please…my mother is ill. She needs me."

Allura tried to get away from the robots. "Please Lotor let them go! They've done nothing to you!"

Lotor looked at Allura. "Is that what you want? You want them to be free?"

Allura nodded. "Yes…Please don't take them as slaves. Let them go home to their families."

Lotor smiled wickedly. "I'll free them." Then he opened the door and pushed the net with them inside out.

Allura screamed. "NOOOOO!"

Keith heard his wife scream. He sat up like a shot. She was trembling and continued to scream. "You monster!"

Keith knew she was dreaming of her ordeal again. He pulled her into his arms and rocked her. "Allura? Wake up…It's a dream…wake up Love."

Allura whimpered. "Lotor…please…please…don't."

Keith's heart shattered into a million pieces. At the first opportunity he was going to have Lotor served to him on a pike. He buried his temper. It was tenderness his wife needed now. "Sweetheart…wake up…please wake up." This was one time he wished their daughter was awake. Lila's cries always got her attention and had a way of breaking through to her. She started sobbing…Keith soothed. "Wake up Allura…wake up."

She gasped and shuttered. "K…Keith…oh god! I'm sorry."

"Hush now. You're safe."

She clung to him. Her heart hammering and her body shaking. She tried to take deep breaths but the storm of tears came anyway. Keith held her as she cried. Over the past four months the dreams had dwindled somewhat. She had been working through a lot of her feelings with Tandy. The girl had been a jewel and was always willing to listen with a kind ear and helped Allura talk through the dark spots. Keith guessed she would know how Allura felt more than most. The current red lion pilot had been raped by her own step-father when she was 13. Pidge confided in him that it was just as good for Tandy as it was for Allura. Keith looked at the time. It had been 10 minutes since Allura started screaming. Her pulse had to be elevated as did her blood pressure. She had to calm down for the baby's sake. A knock was heard at the door. Keith smiled. Tandy was as dependable as sunrise. He disengaged the lock and she entered.

Tandy had changed her hair recently. It was longer and was a solid dark red with blond highlights. She had also grown an inch the past year. This was typical of Balton's they don't reach their full heights until the age of 20. Tandy was just 17 but wise beyond her years. She sat on the edge of the bed next to Allura but addressed him. "What did she cry out?"

Keith swallowed. "A blood curdling no."

Tandy nodded. "She started with the couple again. Allura?"

Allura kept her face buried in Keith's chest. She whispered. "Why?"

Tandy soothed. "Because he is evil. You couldn't have stopped what he did to the Feeney's. You couldn't have stopped what he did to you. They were both out of your control and that's hard for anyone."

Allura stood up abruptly. Tandy and Keith both watched and waited. She went to the bathroom. After 5 minutes she came out her face was not as blotchy. She had obviously washed her face. "My brain gets it. But when is my heart going to catch up?"

"When it is ready." Tandy said.

"I hate that answer." Allura grumbled.

Tandy chuckled. "I know it blows. But you seem to be hung up on guilt."

Allura frowned. "What do you mean?"

Tandy smiled. "The last six nightmares have started in the same place. You on the ship. For the first few months your dreams started in Lotor's chambers. That's a shift of the sub consciousness. When you saw Lotor push them to their deaths you felt horror, guilt, and a sense of responsibility for those two poor souls. Your mind and soul are trying to work it out. Which leads to the question have your worked though some things or did your mind and soul shift its priorities?"

"Is this good or bad?" Keith asked.

Tandy shrugged and played with her golden locket that she always wore. "Only she can figure that out." Tandy scanned Allura. "That is much better. You are calmer. I'd like you to get some more rest."

Allura nodded. "I'll try."

Tandy turned and left the room. Keith rubbed Allura's belly. The simple gesture soothed them both. Allura smiled and placed her hand on top of his. The baby moved. She was progressing well and was 20 weeks along.

Keith kissed his wife's hair which smelled like milk and honey. "Let's hold each other for a while."

When Tandy's pager went off. It has awakened her boyfriend. He was waiting to see if she returned quickly. He knew she wasn't on duty but had a special monitor for Allura. If anything went wonky she would respond to it. It had been a nightly thing for quite some time. But it slowed down a lot over the last couple months. Her visits up to the royal chambers also took less time. Pidge often reflected on his and Tandy's relationship while she was visiting the Queen. Pidge had known for years even before he joined the Voltron Force that he would eventually marry Tandy. He didn't expect anyone to understand how he knew or to understand the depth of his feelings for her. Through all the turmoil in Tandy's life he was happy to be her constant. He was even happier to give her all the love that she deserved unconditionally. She was truly one of a kind and his soul mate. Since Tandy did not return right away Pidge reached into his bedside table and pulled out a small box. Inside it was a set of three rings. He had designed the pattern himself and had gone to Ebb whose planets diamonds were yellow, orange, and red. He worked with a jeweler and the rings were commissioned. In the center was a carrot yellow diamond cut in a marque around it were other smaller marques of red and orange. Two other bands of red, yellow, and orange marques completed the ensemble. He had told the jeweler that he wanted it to look like gleaming flames on her finger. The jeweler once he saw his design said that he would not disappoint and promised to keep the design for only them. It would be one of a kind. It was no less than what she deserved. He eyed the time and estimated that he had another thirty minutes.

Pidge dressed in his 'work' clothes by engaging his Volt-com. Then he took the note that he had composed earlier in the day. He walked to Tandy's office and disengaged the locks. Then very carefully he placed the box in an emerald green gift bag with silver paper and put the envelope against it. She would find it there in the morning. Pidge didn't linger he relocked the door and headed back to his apartment. He got undressed and went back to bed. He smiled as he remembered the memory that gave him the idea.

Pidge had looked everywhere for the perfect gift for Tandy for Christmas. He had been to every jewelry store on Balto and couldn't find a thing. He had been forbidden by her step-father to come back to the house. But he was going to find her a present and get it to her if it killed him. Chip had given him a few ideas but they hadn't panned out. What was that bastard's problem anyway? Then he saw it. A gold locket in the shape of an oval. In the center was a ruby and emerald. She doesn't like emeralds Pidge thought and tried to walk away. Instead he found himself in the store purchasing the item. The jeweler wrapped it in an emerald green gift bag with silver paper. Pidge thanked him and left. He knew that Tandy would go on duty in the morning. So he headed to the hospital. He wasn't worried about people seeing him enter. Once he got to the research center he sought out Tandy's mom. "Penny?"

She wheeled around. "Pidge! How are you? Happy holidays."

"You too Penny. Um…I know I can't come over because of Jon…but I wanted to give Tandy a present. Could I leave it in her office?"

Penny beamed. "Of course!" Then Penny opened her daughter's office door. "Just don't stay long."

Pidge nodded. He pulled out a card and wrote: 'Remember me when this you see. Love Pidge.' He placed the card on her desk against the package. The following day Pidge went to his lion to head back to Arus. His heart was heavy because he wished he could say goodbye to Tandy. He was shocked to see her standing by green lion. He smiled. "You got my present?"

"Mom's covering for me. I had to give you this."

Pidge took the package she offered. It was a present wrapped in a red bag with orange paper. He peered inside and saw that it was a small box. Pidge took it and opened it. It was a pair of emerald cuff links and matching tie clip. Pidge was stunned. He looked at her both astonished and baffled.

She smiled. "These were my dad's. My mom gave them to me last year. He wore them on their wedding day. Not that I think we are going to get married well we could who knows what the future holds but next to him and mom you are the most important person in my life. I want you to have them."

Pidge finally found his voice. "I'll treasure them always."

Tandy's eyes were brimming with tears. "Remember me?"

Pidge kissed her lips softly. "Always."

That moment had been special and though they didn't know it at the time. It was the moment that changed their relationship. He didn't hear the door open or her climbing the stairs. She was suddenly there and kissed his cheek. "I didn't mean to wake you."

Pidge rolled over and rested his head on her chest. "I like having you next to me." Pidge sighed as her fingers ran through his hair.

Tandy smiled sadly. They still hadn't heard back from the paperwork that Lord Jennings had submitted. The 'Balton government' had lost the paperwork initially but since Maggie's father had sent it with a return receipt they granted Pidge and Chip an extension to put there affairs in order or until they found the paperwork. If they heard nothing. Chip and Pidge would be expected to go back to Balto in two more weeks. There was another loop hole which Lord Jennings did mention for Pidge anyway. He could accept a new commission with Garrison. Keith had pulled strings and was assured that if Pidge did take another commission his assignment would be on Arus as Voltron-Force Support. They were working on getting Chip an extension so he could accept commission as well due to his trauma of losing his friends. It was getting down to the wire and they were all edgy. She leaned down and kissed his hair. "I love you."

He shifted his weight and flipped their positions so that he was on top of her. Pidge ran his fingers through her hair. "I love you too Tandy." Their lips met and the kiss became more and more desperate by the second. Pidge's hands couldn't move fast enough to calm the storm that so suddenly filled his heart and soul. His body ached from every pore. How many more moments are we going to have like this if I have to stay on Balto? He couldn't dwell on that now. All that mattered at this moment was the woman in his arms. Pidge lifted her teeshirt over her head revealing her gloriously naked body. Pidge's mouth clamped onto her nipple. He watched her face and saw that she had bit back a scream. 'We can't have that!' Pidge licked and teased to her other breast and gave the other side the same treatment. Tandy's chest was heaving now. Her hands tangled in his hair.

She gasped. "Oh…Gods!" Tandy could do nothing as Pidge worked his magic. "Pidge! I…I…oh god! Please!"

Pidge left a trail of heat down her stomach. He stopped briefly at her navel letting his tongue explore that sensitive spot on her. He gripped her hips as she arched her back keeping her in place. "Don't move…let me savor you?"

He was torturing her. The sensations and love he was giving her was a miracle. He was her miracle. Her body responded in kind and her release crashed over her. He still wouldn't release her. He moaned. "Again…love…scream."

Tandy was writhing. "I…can't…please…oh god."

Pidge simply latched onto her. She screamed as the pleasure completely overtook her again and again. He took her over each rise each peak was glorious. He was going to drive her mad! She screamed at him. "Pidge! NOW! GOD!"

Pidge took her legs and pushed them back and entered her in one swift deep thrust.

Tandy erupted. "YES! Oh god…don't stop!" She gave herself to him completely. Each thrust giving her more and more pleasure. She screamed with each one and then she snapped. The orgasm completely overtook her.

Pidge went blind. "Tandy! OH god! Amiazi."

She felt Pidge's arousal pulse inside her his warm essence filling her. She pulled him down to her and smiled at his term of endearment. It translated in Balton my love. She kissed him. "Amiazi."

They fell asleep in each other's arms.
