"Luka won't be happy." Meris spoke after hearing what Alex had offered the rebel general.
Alex frowned, "He'll just have to deal with it. I'm only giving them the weapons and heat sinks."
"That's still over half of our goods, most of which were heading for Omega."
"I'll deal with her."
Meris sighed and shook her head. "You're either very brave or very stupid to go against the Queen of Omega."
"Neither," Alex explained. "Aria and I go a ways back. Let's just say her and I have an arrangement."
"Meaning?"
"Neither of us wants to test each other in a fight." Alex allowed the slight smile to escape.
Meris huffed, "A little cocky don't you think?"
She shook her head. "No, just the truth."
"It's a waste though," Meris tried to change topics, hoping to save their income. "You and I both know that without some serious help they're not going to win."
Alex decided to ignore that statement. She looked up at the sky in thought, looking for the ship she was expecting any second. After making the deal, Alex had contacted Kiral and gave her orders. The pilot was to shake her guard and make her way planet side. Once the ship landed, Kiral and Luka were going to join the ground team for a mission.
Part of the deal involved food. As payment for the weapons, the rebels were going to help them raid a food store. While they pressed the attack elsewhere, Alex and her team would infiltrate and commandeer several months' worth of provisions.
"Alex…" Meris called her from her thoughts. "What's the plan?"
"We're going to get our food and leave."
"But…"
Alex shook her head. "It's not our fight. There is too much at stake here and too high of a chance of it spilling over. The galaxy won't survive through another large scale war."
Luka was pissed. As soon as he learned about her plan he had started yelling. The ship hadn't been on the ground more than a few minutes before he started. The shouting match had almost come to blows several times. In the end, Alex had laid down the law. She was Captain; it was her ship, her goods. If he didn't like it he could get the fuck off her ship. With a roar, he stomped off and hid in his quarters and refused to leave.
Kiral had piloted the ships small shuttle while Meris, Hackett, and Alex checked their weapons in the passenger compartment. Meris made adjustments to her omnitool as she spoke. "What's the plan?"
Alex adjusted her rifles sights, "You and Hackett are going to circle around the back while I hit the front."
Hackett frowned, "Alone?"
She shrugged, "I'd had preferred Luka's help but beggars can't be choosers."
"I don't like this."
"I've faced worse."
"Alex…"
She interrupted him with a look. Going over, he placed his helmet on and placed a kiss on the face plate. "Trust me. I can handle this."
"She's right." Meris hooked her own helmet in place. "I've seen her take out an entire pirate base while Luka and I only performed clean up."
"I don't like it." Hackett growled but let it go. At least until she opened the hatch and gave him a salute before stepping out. "God damn it."
Meris laughed, "I don't know where she learned that but it never gets old."
Alex threw a frag grenade before taking cover around the room. It shattered bringing cries of pain. She spun and took out the remaining guards with her assault rifle. Each squeeze of the trigger was measured and not a single bullet was wasted. It was easy to remember the steps. Sight, squeeze the trigger, grenade, concussion shot, and end it with omni blade stab.
The room was cleared and she was surrounded with blood and body. Her breathing was heavy and her heart was wild. Shaking, she stepped around her kills and headed for the next room.
She met up with the others near the vault. Meris was already working on the door while Hackett watched her back. He spotted her come through the door and let out the breath he was holding. He couldn't stop worrying about her. "Alex?"
Alex gave him thumbs up and took her spot near the door. "Meris?"
The salarian grunted and changed tactics, "just a few more minutes."
She cursed as reinforcements started down the hall. Alex pulled out her last grenade and tossed it into the opening. "You've got five."
Hackett hurried to her side and opened fire on the survivors. "Come here often?"
Alex chuckled, "Seems that way. Never seen you here before."
"I tend to stay back and give orders. I like giving orders."
Her blood was pumping as she paced the small cabin of the shuttle. Alex had never been able to sit still right after a firefight. Adrenaline kept her active until she found a way to get rid of it. She bit her lip as she glanced at Hackett. He sat, relaxed, on the bench. His eyes followed her and she groaned at the hunger in them.
"Stop looking at me like that." She hissed at him before continuing her pacing.
He smiled slowly as he continued to watch her. "I don't know what you're talking about."
"Steven," She hissed at him again. Her eyes settled on the door that separated them from the pilot's area. Meris and Kiral was inside, watching for pursuit. They were racing back to the rebel camp after the successful raid, hoping they wouldn't be discovered.
"They'd never know." Hackett spoke softly and reached for her.
Alex went to him, straddling his waist. Their lips connected in a burning kiss as fingers worked quickly on armor. Practice and urgency had the necessary pieces removed in record time. His teeth latched onto her lips as she growled at him. She took his hands and put them behind his back. "Stay or else."
"Alex," he warned and moved to grab her.
She growled at him again, "My way or I walk away."
She watched his eyes darken as he watched her. Neither moved for several seconds as a silent war was waged. In the end, he surrendered and put his hands behind his back.
Alex grinned and pushed him down in the chair until she towered over him. She took precious time to grind against him. His bulge grew as clothed sex slide together. Hackett muffled a groan by biting his tongue. She gasped as her body pressed against his. She needed him and the realization sent a chill down her spine. There was a large gap between want and need. It was a gap that she had never crossed before.
Cursing, Alex reached between them and removed the final barrier. Her fingers gripped the back of the bench as she sank slowly onto him. Inch by agonizing inch, she took him into her. By the time she accepted all of him she was shaking.
Hackett cursed and fought every instinct that urged him to grab her. He wanted to surge up into her and take possession. Every nerve in his body itched to take charge and pound into her until she begged for release. Instead he watched her, their eyes connecting as she started moving on him. His tongue wet his lips as she fought to keep silent. She was beautiful.
"Alex," Hackett whispered a please.
"Not yet." She answered him, her forehead connecting with his.
Their breaths mixed as they stared into each other eyes. Her hands moved from the bench to his neck, fingers dancing a cross his skin. She kissed him in a long passionate kiss, taking her time to taste him.
Pulling away from the kiss, Alex watched him. His eyes had closed sometime during the kiss. Every muscle in his body was taught as he fought for control. Smiling she cupped his check and brushed his lips with her thumb. Hackett opened his eyes and she gasped at the emotion in them.
Alex swallowed and leaned in. Her teeth nibbled on his ear before she whispered his name. "Steven, take me."
He roared as he hands rushed to grab her. Fingers pressed against old bruises, reawakening them. Hackett lifted her up and stood. Her back slammed against the side of the shuttle. Before she could protest, he lifted a leg and drove into her.
Alex had screamed. Only Hackett's lips on hers had kept the sound from alerting the others. He kept the pace hard and fast as his teeth worked her lips and neck. One hand gripped her hip while the other circled her throat. A tight grip held her in place giving her no room to return his thrusts.
"Oh god," Alex whimpers out. Her nails scrambled over his armor, searching for any purchase.
"Look at me." Hackett growled out, squeezing tighter. "Mine."
When she didn't answer him, he stopped moving. Alex whimpered and tried to move only to be stopped. She swallowed and cried out for mercy.
"Who do you belong to?" Hackett snarled into her ear.
Alex gasped and tried to move again. In retaliation, he pulled from her completely and pinned her hands above her head. He used his other hand to cup himself. Hackett smiled wide while she cursed him and struggled to get free. "If you don't answer me, I'll finish without you."
"You wouldn't dare."
"Who do you belong to Alex?"
"Fuck you."
Hackett chuckled and leaned in to smell her hair. "You're running out of time."
"Fucker."
"I'd love to but you refuse to answer me."
Alex cursed him again and tried to free herself. His grip was locked and it was useless. She never should have surrendered her control and now pride and stubbornness stood in the way. Instead of giving in, Alex steeled herself and lifted her chin in defiance.
He chuckled at her determination and kissed her hard, avoiding her teeth. His lips left a trail down her jaw until he could reach that soft skin just below her ear. Teeth sank into flesh as he stroked himself a couple more times. He groaned as he bucked into his hand, finding his release.
His grip didn't loosen until he was finished. Stepping back, he grinned at her. "I should make you clean this up but that would be a reward wouldn't it."
Alex snarled at him, her hand going right for her sex. He grabbed her wrist and yanked it away. Hackett bared his teeth as he spoke slowly. "You're not allowed to touch yourself. You're not allowed to come until I tell you so. If I catch you or so much as suspect that you broke these rules you're punishment will be severe. Don't test me."
The look in his eyes had her swallowing and her stomach go tight. A fresh wave of lust washed through her and Alex already regretted her action. She clenched her legs together and hoped for some kind of relief. His eyes narrowed and Alex relaxed her muscles.
"Steven," She pleaded instead.
He grinned at her. "No time, we'll be landing soon."
