Chapter 9
Beth wanted time alone with Optimus, but she knew he was concerned about her brother finding them.
"Optimus, is there any place that will hide your energon signal?" Beth asked him.
"Yes, caves anything underground," he replied.
"I know a place; come on, I will give you directions," she said as he listened to her directions, taking them someplace safe.
Although he doubted anyplace on Earth would be safe for them, they would be hunted for the rest of their lives. Beth gave him directions to a safe place, a cave, which allowed him also to transform.
His new look made him look sexy. He looked like a knight.
"I like your look," she replied as he sat on the ground and watched her.
"Thank you," he said as he grunted, still hurting from the experiments.
"You're still in pain, aren't you?" she asked.
"Yes, I am," Optimus answered truthfully.
Beth placed her backpack on the ground. He noticed she was very protective of that backpack.
"That item is very special to you?" Optimus asked.
"My mom gave it to me. We were very close. Dad and I just never clicked. He hates me, but the feeling is very mutual now," Beth replied as she fingered the bracelet on her wrist.
Optimus noted how she did that and questioned her about it.
"Did your mother give that to you?" he asked.
"Yes," Beth said with a smile.
"Beth..." Optimus started to say.
"Yes, Optimus?" she asked.
"Why are you carrying firearms?" he asked.
She glanced down toward her big backpack, and she shrugged.
"I got jumped once. I swore it would never happen again, so I took karate lessons and learned to use firearms," Beth answered with a shrug.
Optimus was impressed with her. She was a natural fighter... A survivor like him. Maybe that was why he was attracted to her; she was so much like him. She glanced at him then and smiled at him.
"So, I didn't scare you off then?" Beth asked him as he glanced down in her direction.
"Hardly," he replied.
"Good," she replied as her small hand ran over his massive hand.
Optimus turned his enormous hand over, and Beth took the hint and got into his hand. He gently placed her on his chest plates, and she ran her hands over his chest plates, causing a reaction from the kind giant alien being.
He shuttered his bright azure optics as so many sensations hit him one by one. All Beth was doing was caressing his chest plates, and it was having this type of reaction on him.
What would happen if they became completely intimate together?
His processors whirled wildly, mostly because it thrilled him to the core of his being. He wanted this human but not just for a friend and mate. He was becoming rather protective of her as well.
Meanwhile, in another realm altogether,

"I feel as bad as the rest of you do, but we are three down, and we are going to need help," an unidentified male voice said.
"Well, I suggest we start finding some answers and soon," another unidentified voice said.
A man walked into the room with a serious expression on his face.
"I believe we just may have found help, but we've got to move now," he said.
