Chapter Ten Stay With Me

\/

Moon stood outside of an abandoned oil refinery. This was their third attempt at finding the Decepticons. He waited outside, fists clenched. If he didn't find Crystal soon, someone was going to taste his wrath. Then the police car emerged. It sat in the shadows for the longest time until it charged him, transforming and leaping at Moon. Moon sidestepped and swung his arm down, missing Barricade. A shot was fired and Moon's shoulder stung, but it was quickly ignored as his cannon was opened. He twisted around and fired in rapid succession. Barricade was too slow and two blasts hit him in the hip. He crumpled down but quickly got up, releasing another shower of blasts. Moon leapt up hovering in place and changing his cannon for sidewinders. He launched all four, each one following Barricade's heat signature, three hitting home, the other exploding at his feet, knocking him back. The dirt rose around him and he tried to get up, and then fell still.

So this was it then. Moon turned around, landed, and strode up to the refinery. The doors were quickly discarded and Moon charged inside. The room was empty and his heart sank. Where were they? It was the faint scream that gave him direction, and then no wall was in his way as his clawed hands tore metal like paper. He came to a room that had a large silo placed in its center.

"Ah, you've come. Prepare to face your termination traitor!"

"Starscream!" Moon yelled as Starscream leapt at him. Moon couldn't react in time, Starscream tackled him and they rolled through the wall and outside. Dirt flew as punches were thrown. Moon went for his face, hearing a satisfying crunch as Starscream's head jerked to the side. Starscream stumbled off him and got up. "You never were a good Decepticon." Starscream growled.

"And you never were strong enough." Moon mocked and then blinked as Starscream loaded 6 sidewinders on his arm. Moon braced for impact, but they never came. Ironhide had jumped in, tackling Starscream and plummeting him with punches of his own. A missle launched, shooting wildly into the air and crashing near Bumblebee's feet. Moon moved for Starscreams arm, ripping the joint that housed the missles. Starscream rolled himself away from them but Ironhide was loaded, twin cannons firing. Bits of metal chipped off of Starscream's back, damaging a wing and the familiar sound of jet engines filled the air. Starscream blasted himself from Ironhide's grip, shooting into the air. Moon made to chase after him but a large hand caught his shoulder.

"Another time Moon." Optimus was looking back at the refinery, the silo exposed through the hole in the wall. "Someone in there needs you right now."

Moon came to his senses and ran to the silo. His claws punctured the metal easily and he ripped it apart and squeezed through. Crystal was laying on the ground, her clothes in shreds and large amounts of blood laying about her.

"RATCHET!" Moon screamed as he carried her out of there. Ratchet came running up then quickly transformed into the ambulance vehical.

"Quickly! Put her inside." Moon did just that, transforming and following Ratchet back to base.

Crystal could see Moon smiling down at her but then everything would go dark. She could hear him speaking to her, but then just as quickly, she forgot what he said. Everything was dark, it was cold. "I'm so tired."

Moon sat by Crystal's side. Ratchet did what he could for her, but she had lost a lot of blood. Now it was only a matter of time for her body to repair itself. He sat there for 3 days, waiting. Sometimes she would open her eyes, look at him, then they would glaze over and close. Sometimes she smiled when he spoke to her, but then her face went blank and she turned away.

On the fourth day he was in stasis, his hand placed by her side and his optics turned off. He slowly came to when he felt something rub his fingers. His optics came online to the sight of Crystal smiling up at him. He didn't want to move. If this was a dream, he didn't want to wake up.

"You know." Her voice was quiet. "You look cute when you sleep." He leaned in, placing his face in the crook of her neck and sighing. His hand came up to rest on her waist and he squeezed a bit. Her hand came up to touch his cheek and she just stroked him. "I take it you missed me?"

"You have no idea."

Crystal was permitted to return home later that week. She would have some explaining to do at work and school. A motorcycle accident would have to do. Moon flew her home, quickly activating his projection to follow her around the house. She sat around, watching TV, feeding and loving on her much deprived cat. Moon sat with her, touching her anyway he could. He would run his fingers through her hair, stroke her arm as his was drapped over her shoulders. He loved it when she moved in to snuggle under his arm, laying her head against his chest. But night came too soon and he would have to leave so she could sleep.

"It's time for bed Moon." She said with a twinkle in her eye.

"Goodnight love." He replied, placing a kiss on her forehead.

"What did you just call me?"

"Love. My love." Crystal took Moon's hand.

"Moon, stay with me tonight."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes." That answer held no doubt. But he did, was this supposed to happen? Would she regret it in the morning? He didn't have time to ask when she kissed him and then led him back to her bedroom. She didn't turn on the lights, but she shut the door and walked into his waiting arms. The moon outside cast a beautiful blue glow through the windows. The only source of light.

"But, you've..." Crystal silenced him with a finger to his lips. She felt him smile and he removed her hand. "Crystal, if you want me, then you will have me. I will hold nothing back." He warned her. His voice was dark and heavy. His eyes started to glow with want and need. Upon seeing this Crystal felt weak in the knees.

"I don't want you to."

He kissed her as thier bodies came together. The sensation of all that warm male inhuman strength made her moan in delight. He deepened the kiss, nibbling her mouth with sharp teeth. One big hand came to rest on her breast, cupping it gently. His thumb rubbed over her nipple, which tightened into a bud. Smiling, he did the same to the other, watching how her body reacted to his touch. Moon started a chain of delicious little bites along the curve of her jaw. Discovering an ear lobe, he paused to sample it with tongue and teeth. Crystal gasped, throwing her head back. It took her a moment before realizing that his clothes were gone.

"Wh..where did your clothes go?" She tried to speak, her voice thick and rough.

"I got rid of them." He stated as he continued his assualt on her neck. She didn't think about it anymore. She discovered the rise of his ass. It was warm and firm as she cupped it. He lifted his head to give her a grin. He pushed her back until she landed on the bed, then towered over her, a black silhouette against the moon's glow with glowing silver eyes. He helped her remove her clothing and settled down with her. As he raked teeth gently across a nipple, he reached between her legs with a hand. His palm stroked over her soft hair, then a strong finger slipped between the lips of her sex.

They both groaned. "Looked all this up on the internet did you?" She was amazed her voice still worked.

He lifted his head. His eyes now brighter and replied, "No, the magazines in your bathroom helped with this."

His hand pumped, fingers stroking deliciously deep as he gave her one last kiss before nibbling his way down. She caught her breath as she realized his intentions. Her hips thrust eagerly. Then his mouth found her most delicate flesh, and his tongue teased her clit with a series of lazy circles. Finally he closed his lips over the hard bud and suckled.

"Moon!" Pleasure detonated through her body like a bomb, making her jerk.

Just as the last waves died, Moon reared over her, spread her thighs wide, and presented himself to her slick opening.

"Look at me." Was all he said to get her to open her eyes. She whimpered as he started working into her, one slick, solid inch at a time. When he finally reached his end he started to pump. The strokes were long, deep, searing her tight flesh with delicious friction. She could only grab his broad shoulders and hang on.

Later that night Crystal woke to the feeling of two strong arms wrapped around her. She laid on Moon's chest, a silly grin tugging at her lips. She looked up to see him asleep. Ideas danced in her mind, and the last thought she had before falling back asleep was, 'Wait until I get ahold of your wires tomorrow.'
