COMPANION Chapter 3

"Companion?" she asked rising to her feet. "Ah yes, now I see the great honor you intend to do me."

"You are a brave woman Orin, to mock me so." Klorel said standing slowly. He started to walk toward her, but with every step he took forward, she in turn took one back. He continued his advance though and soon Orin's back was to a wall with Klorel's body mere centimeters from her own.

"Yes," he said, "very brave." He reached out and stroked his hand along her jaw, entwining his fingers with the long hair at the back of her head. "Very brave." he whispered once again, brushing his thumb back and forth over her cheek. He stood there just staring at her hungrily as the seconds moved past.

"Enough" she snapped, breaking the silence, jerking her face away from Klorel's caressing hand. "Stop these games. First you destroy my people, then you care for my wounds, and now you try and frighten me into submission. Finish this. If you are going to rape me then just do it and be done with all this." Klorel laughed.

"No," he said smiling, "I will not end this, and I have no intention of frightening you into submission as you so dramatically phrase it. If I wanted to, I would take you. I do not need to resort to either though. You want to submit to me, you just don't know how to let yourself."

"That is insane."

His other hand moved up from her hip where it had been resting to graze softly over her stomach and up to her breast.

"Is it?"

Both hands were on her breasts now, massaging each gently. Klorel lightly pinched one of her hard nipples and he heard a soft breath escape her lips at his touch.

"You see," he said, "you cannot hide your attraction to me. My power, my strength, my anger, they all make you desire me. It excites you to know that I could take you right now, if I wanted to, and there would be nothing you could do to stop me."

"No." she hissed out from between clenched teeth.

Klorel moved slightly and slipped one of his hands down between their bodies. Orin could feel his erection pressing against her hip now and it sent a small thrill up her spine. Klorel's hand moved past the folds of her dress and pressed against her. He smiled again, and gently pushed one finger inside her. She was hot and wet, his desire burned even greater than before. She gasped and arched into his hand, wanting more, but he slowly removed his finger and stepped away from her. He looked directly into her eyes and said one word.

"Yes."

Then, Klorel slowly backed away and walked out the door.
