Shelby had to giggle at the oddness of the situation. She new exactly who was lying on top of her (and inside for that matter) even though she had to behave like she had just met him. Add to that they had sex before they even 'knew' each other's names.
"Hello Duo I'm Shelby. Shelby Allyce McGuire. And you're right it was a definite pleasure meeting you." She stretched languidly and gave on almost feline purr.
Duo leaned over her looking slightly smug about his sexual prowess. "Are you sure about that? Because I'm sure I could do better." It was then that he realized he still quite hard. Following impulse he slowly pulled himself almost all the way out then thrust deep and hard back into her.
"You can…oh…. do bet…..ohhhh….better?" Shelby was losing the thread of the conversation to the delicious sensations Duo was creating inside her.
Duo didn't bother to respond. Watching Shelby fall victim to his lovemaking skills was one of the most erotic things he'd ever witnessed. He slid his hand between their bodies and stroked the sensitive bud of flesh hidden in its nest of curls.
Her response was instantaneous. Her back arched off the bed, and she started to cry out incoherently. She was completely unable to put the deep electrical fire sensations that were coursing through her body into words. When he sucked her nipple back into his mouth she exploded into an orgasm so intense she half expected the hotel room to have sustained physical damage.
"I can't hold on baby." Duo was shocked to find he was on the verge of coming again. Shit, she was just so damn sexy and responsive it was impossible to hold on to his control. He looked down at her. Her cheeks were flushed; she was breathing heavily, her hazel/green eyes looked directly into his.
"Then come for me baby." She said as she caressed his cheek. With a shout, he poured himself into her.
He wasn't sure how long it took to return to sanity, but he eventually took a look around to survey the damage. The pretty business suit was a total loss. There wasn't a tailor alive who could salvage the damage he'd done to it. He was surprised to find his own shirt seemed to be minus a few buttons and gaping open. They both still had their feet on the floor. His feet still had his pants tangled around them. Oh classy Maxwell, real classy. Break into her room, yell at her, rip her clothes off and screw her with all the finesse of a horny teenager. Oh yeah, I've got class. He pulled away, trying to cover himself up. Unable to control the sudden feeling of self consciousness he spoke just to break the silence.
"Uh…sorry about your clothes."
"What?" She opened her eyes and looked down at the tatters of cloth still hanging from her shoulders and arms "Oh. Aw damn. You owe me Maxwell." She glared at him with mock anger while her eyes sparkled with humor. "I'll just have to take my payment out on your very cute ass."
"MMMM… I think I could do that." He made as if to move in on her again, but she stopped him.
"Not just yet. Sorry, but I haven't eaten since breakfast and right now I'm starving. Besides," she added suggestively, "you need to rebuild your energy. Why don't you call room service and order two of whatever you like while I umm…go get cleaned up." she blushed at the last bit. She got up and headed to the bathroom removing what was left of her suit on the way.
*******************
Shelby watched the sleeping form of her lover. Her lover. Those two words had meanings on so many levels. First, because who and what she was always interfered with her relationships with men. The handful of times she'd tried sex before left her dissatisfied and disappointed. Second, was that it was Duo. She'd fantasized so many times when she was a girl about what it'd be like to be held or kissed by him. Third, was despite her secret yearnings she was never supposed to get within a hundred kilometers of him. She sighed. She'd have to tell Anna.
She closed her eyes and sent her mind out to the far distant earth.
Anna. Anna can you hear me are you awake?
Shelby? Came the puzzled mental reply. Of course I'm awake it's the middle of the afternoon here. What's wrong? How come you're contacting me telepathically?
He's here Anna. Duo is here asleep beside me. Her feelings gave the impression of embarrassment and sexual satisfaction at the same time.
Have you lost it? Anna's tone was slightly panicked. Leave now. You know you shouldn't be anywhere near him. He's very intuitive. What if he starts sensing your connection to him?
This was the part Shelby didn't want to admit to. He already has.
WHAT???
Shelby let the memories of the days earlier events fill her mind showing Anna that Duo found her twice without effort. She stopped at the moment they first kissed. Please Anna. Can't I have him just for a moment? She was a little surprised to hear how desperate her tone sounded.
Anna's tone was sympathetic but firm. Shel, you know I love you and want you to be happy, but this has disaster written all over it. If you stay too long he's going to find out who you really are. He's going to feel Deathscythe in you.
Oh really? Shelby replied tartly. I was unfair of her to attack Anna, but she hated the idea of leaving Duo. Because I was thinking of opening up with that first thing in the morning. How's this? So Duo what do you do?.... Really?.... Well I live under a series of secret identities to hide the fact that I have an illegally augmented brain complete with super psionic powers that could destroy this whole colony.
Anna let out a mental sigh. Alright I'll stay out of it. But I'm not kidding DON"T STAY TOO LONG. And the mental connection was severed.
Again Shelby looked over at Duo. What would you do, she wondered if you knew it was your Deathscythe next to you?
As if in answer to her question her mind filled with images from eighty year old news clips that she'd seen.
In the initial brain augment experiments eighty years ago, the scientists felt they had produced a fairly good copy of the neural transmitter found in people who were naturally psychic or empathic but the natural ability was vague and inconsistent. In theory, supplementing their copy to the natural one would increase mental ability. Their theory proved correct but with a disastrous side effect. The test subjects went completely and violently insane. Worse, they wielded incredible paranormal abilities. In one day they wreaked havoc over an entire city. Almost twelve thousand people died, and hundreds of thousands were injured.
The public outcry was swift and brutal.
Shelby shivered at the memories that were clouding her mind.
The Earth Sphere Alliance used the brain augment disaster as a means of gaining public popularity. They immediately forced through a law threatening any scientist who was "tampering with human evolution" to lifelong jail terms. Most of the test subjects died or were killed in the disaster, but any that were found were to be humanely terminated.
If Shelby wasn't careful, "humanely terminated" would be her future. She shivered again. Duo somehow sensed she needed comfort, and reached over in his sleep pull her close. Safe in his arms she fell into a nightmare free sleep.
*****************
Duo watched the sleeping woman beside him using the opportunity to study her without her knowing. He no longer thought she was here to cause trouble. When he awoke that morning, it was to a sense of rightness and contentment. He figured that must have been a byproduct of ending his sexual drought with such a spectacular night of sex.
One of Duo's hands grabbed a lock of her red hair. Strange, he thought feeling and smelling the lock. As much as he liked his own hair and thought it looked cool, it always irritated him when women wanted to touch it. He could never understand how women would think a grown man would like to be petted and groomed like a Pomeranian. Yet here he was fondling a women's hair enjoying the soft texture and scent. His eyes traveled down to her shoulders and widened at what he found. Freckles. He smiled to himself. She's got freckles on her shoulders. That's so cute. He angled himself to get a better look at the face that was turned away from him. Sure enough there was a light dusting of them across the bridge of her nose. He couldn't understand why he found them so adorable on her. He'd never been particularly attracted to freckled women before. He placed small open mouth kisses across her shoulders gently nipping one or two of the larger freckles with his teeth.
"MMMM… Good morning." She murmured sleepily. She had yet to open her eyes.
"Not yet. But it will be in about thirty seconds." He warned.
"What?"
Duo rolled her from her side to her belly placing some pillows under her hips in the move. He gave a quick stroke of the soft feminine flesh before guided himself deep into her.
*************
"I don't want to sound like I'm trying to get rid of you or anything, but aren't you supposed to be at work or something?" Shelby wasn't ready to let Duo go just yet. However she didn't want to get him fired on her account.
"No. I called in while you were still sleeping. I told them I had a friend in from earth, and I was going to show her around the colony."
"Ahh and I'd guess you neglected to tell them that twenty four hours ago you didn't know I existed. Tsk Tsk. So what sights are you going to show me? Remember I've only got a couple of days here."
'Well today I thought I'd give you an in depth exclusive tour of Me. Tomorrow I might actually let you see some of the rest of the colony."
"An exclusive tour of you huh? Where do we start?"
