Chapter 78 - Weapons Master in a Mall
(MPOV)
I shot a wry look at Chromia.
"Christmas shopping," she stated blandly. Winking at me. I fought and lost against a smirk as her meaning caught hold.
"Excellent!" Jacobs shouted with a broad grin. The lot of us turned to look at him incredulously. "What? I've got three sisters waiting for their Christmas presents." he smirked at us. "Gonna see them new years."
"Oh that I've got to see," I snorted.
"Good, you're coming with me," Jacobs grinned. "Just for the priceless expression on their faces at seeing Mikaela Banes in public."
"You're a horrible person," I told him patiently.
"I really am," Jacobs nodded sadly before he burst out laughing again. I rolled my eyes at him and climbed up into Optimus' cab.
"Last one there carries the packages," Ironhide rumbled over the radio. Anyone could hear that smirk. "Or are you afraid your old Weapons Master can still whip that youngling tail of yours Optimus?"
"Ironhide!?" Will asked in a shocked tone.
"That's my bot!" Chromia trilled cheerfully.
Optimus glanced at me curiously. I grinned at him.
"Name the course," Optimus growled, I couldn't help the vicious grin that caught my face, matching his as his engines snarled to life.
"Here to the mall," Ironhide barked gleefully. "Mark!"
"Set!" Chromia trilled.
"Set!" I called out, snapping my seatbelt in place as Optimus thoughtfully tied the trunks into place.
"Set!" Jacobs bellowed, closely followed by Epps and Will.
"GO!" Ironhide and Optimus bellowed simultaneously.
From a standstill, Optimus was reversing at high speed, spun a donut and was on the road as Ironhide howled with laughter.
"Holy fucking shit Optimus what the fuck!" Epps was bellowing.
"That was fucking awesome!" Jacobs howled.
"Coming Ironhide?" Optimus rumbled gleefully.
"What! You thought I was throwing the game?" Ironhide shouted back, passing us as Chromia whooped.
Optimus laughed and sped up somewhat, cheerfully pacing Ironhide.
"Gotta do better than that kiddo!" Ironhide called out gleefully, shooting ahead.
"Shortcut, Kae?" Optimus rumbled softly.
"That's cheating," I murmured with a snort.
"I had planned on carrying the parcels anyway, let them enjoy their victory," he rumbled with a low chuckle.
"Offroad?" I murmured softly, narrowing my eyes.
"Bring it," he grinned viciously.
"Slow down a little," I murmured, scanning the side of the road. "Old road, left seven hundred feet." Optimus slammed his brakes on and cut left, A moment of brush and the old road lay open in front of us. "The old woodcutter track," I grinned. "Leads directly to the highway. No lights, No cops. Bypasses having to go to the overpass, and shaves off three quarters of an hour. As the crow flies."
"Perfect," Optimus rumbled with a snort, accelerating down the road. I heard an extra processor online as his holoform turned to look at me with a smirk.
"How many boys did you bring this way?" he asked curiously.
"Not one," I stated cheerfully. "You're the first. Mind, I did come here a lot."
His holoform stared at me, wrestling with his expressions. I could hear a quiet hum of lust resonating from his spark. Lust and confusion.
"Pun absolutely intended," I added, shooting a wicked glance at him. "Two miles and to the left is a little lane-way. One hundred feet from it is a secluded clearing. Private. Perfect to have a bit of fun." I glanced up and noted that we were still on the straightaway. I began running my hands over the seat.
"Playing dirty, are you my Kae?" Optimus rumbled, his holoform smirking at me. I gasped at the fire in the holoform's eyes. "Just how kinky are you?" he murmured. "How much will you allow me to do to you?" I sighed somewhat as the holoform rose. "Tell me your fantasies, let me hear you say it." he whispered in my ear.
"Use me, violate me," I whispered, looking guiltily at him the next moment. My eyes widened at the pure, animalistic gleam in his eyes.
He slowed somewhat and the seatbelt constricted lightly, bands caught my wrists and ankles. I gasped as the seat moved back somewhat and the holoform winked to crouch in front of me. "Did you think me incapable of multi-tasking?" the predatory gleam in his eyes softened. "Only if you want," he added in a whisper.
"Safeword is Starscream," I whispered, taking Chromia's lesson to heart.
Optimus grinned at me, the expression on his face vicious the next moment as the seat shifted under me somewhat. Cables creeped up my legs, tickling, teasing the sensitive spots. I began wriggling somewhat as they slid up the insides of my thighs, a flush of damp warmth seeping from my core.
"Impatient," he rumbled softly, trailing a gentle finger down my throat, the next second, a strong hand tore my shirt open. I began moaning softly as the cables danced over my inner thighs, creeping higher to caress my hips.
"Too high," I whispered desperately.
"Mmn, not high enough," Optimus growled softly, a hand flicking the button open on my jeans, his hand flew up and pinched my nipple. I gasped as the cables dragged the cloth from my skin, leaving my bare arse against the leather of his seat. "Much better," he purred, fingers dancing over my core. "Look at you, you're so wet my Kae. Is this for me? You're going to come for me whether you want to or not." he growled softly. "Make it easy on yourself, spread your legs."
I smirked slightly and shifted my knees closer together. Optimus began growling softly, wrenching my legs apart and diving. I began gasping, begging as his tongue lashed the most sensitive areas, energon swirling around in my system.
I barely registered passing the little laneway as critical mass hit, I bucked and strained against the bindings as I screamed my pleasure. The seat jerked back the next moment, laying me tightly controlled on my back as the holoform of my beloved guardian rose and thrust into me in one motion.
I forced my eyes open, loving the unguarded look of pleasure on his face as he thrust almost brutally, pounding himself into me until a surge of energon flashed through us. The holoform froze, watching me carefully as worry began resonating through my beloved's spark again. I squeezed my knees around his hips, smiling up at the holoform.
"Shall we get out of the area before the energon signatures attract attention?" I murmured. The bindings released themselves, and I brought my arms and legs up, winding myself around the holoform.
Optimus grinned down at me, pressing a gentle line of kisses down my neck as we made a sharp right turn onto the highway. Binder cables delicately slid my jeans over my legs, and gentle hands buttoned my shirt.
"Now you're spoiling me," I murmured, kissing my way along his jaw.
"I do so love spoiling you," he rumbled contentedly, the holoform moving to sit in the driver's seat again. I glanced at my watch and pointed to the overpass as we approached it.
"Ironhide will be coming down off of that one," I smiled at him.
"He is five minutes away from it." Optimus rumbled gleefully.
"Well, two thoughts," I giggled. "We can go hide in the parking lot or sit here for five minutes and let him get a head start."
We looked at each other for a long moment.
"Head start," we echoed each other gleefully as Optimus delicately moved to the side of the road. We sat waiting with bated breath... well, I sat with bated breath, Optimus sat grinning and silent, hiding beneath the overpass and gleefully listening to the radio. Finally...
"Where'd Optimus go?" Epps was calling out.
"He's got his femme in cab, they probably pulled over for an interface," Ironhide snorted. "Don't tell them I said this, but it's awesome to see that kid back in the saddle. Too focused, Kae is probably the best thing that's happened to him. Ever. He needs the distraction of a good femme."
"Why is focus bad?" Jacobs asked curiously.
"He's hyperfocused, therefore unfocused," Ironhide rumbled. "Like trying to find something, and focusing entirely on finding it, but you can't see it for looking."
"You can't find it until you stop looking," Will chuckled, Ironhide came in sight, driving down the ramp and onto the highway.
"I never could stop looking," Optimus rumbled in amusement, taking off like a bat out of hell and passing Ironhide. "Going to have to do better than that, my trusted weapons master."
"You little Glitch!" Ironhide roared, laughing the next moment as he harried after us.
"Using Kae's superior knowledge of the roads is cheating!" Chromia trilled indignantly.
"A leader takes the knowledge of all of his unit into account for the sake of efficiency." Optimus rumbled gleefully. "Look at that, I was right again. As were you of course, but that most certainly does not mean I pulled over."
Ironhide promptly began hooting with laughter, passing us on the highway.
"You can go faster than that perfectionist!" he taunted Optimus gleefully.
"Just for that you are carrying the parcels," Optimus rumbled indignantly, my eyes widened as he began accelerating again, easily bypassing the speeds his non-sentient counterparts would tear apart at. Ironhide fell back, hooting with laughter along with the soldiers.
"Mall exit in two clicks," I told him with a snort.
"Aaww," Optimus rumbled, rolling his eyes. "Right when I am having fun." he slowed and turned onto the exit as I laughed at him. He pulled into the parking lot and shut his engine down. I rose and tackled his holoform, feathering kisses along his neck and jaw as he moaned softly. I tugged the collar of his shirt down somewhat and left a hickey on the skin. He looked at me in confusion as I pulled back, smirking impishly at him as Ironhide pulled in beside us.
"Kae?" he rumbled curiously.
"Just leaving a placemark for later," I smirked at him before ducking out of the holoform's reach.
"I am going to get you for that!" he rumbled with a snort as I deftly escaped him.
Chromia caught me with a bright laugh, holding me pinned.
"I've got her! Quick!" she called out cheerfully. Optimus fairly ran his holoform around his truck form and snagged me from Chromia's arms, tickling me mercilessly.
"Chromia you traitor!" I squealed, laughingly batting at his holoform, trying to escape my Optimus. I could hear his spark humming pure contentment, he knew I most certainly wasn't trying hard.
"Come on lovebirds," Ironhide snorted, breaking in between us. "Gotta give each other time to miss each other." He caught Optimus by the scruff of the neck. "And the two of us need to get some shopping done!" he added, grinning at his Prime.
"Very true," Optimus rumbled seriously, throwing an arm around the older holoform with a grin. Chromia promptly tackled me, grinning and dragging me toward the entrance. I wound myself around her, and we promptly broke into a run, laughing as we went.
"Right," she grinned at me, "we need to get some serious shopping done!"
"First stop, lingerie!" I smirked at her. She whooped and dragged me to the store. We spent a solid twenty minutes debating each other until Chromia spotted the perfect piece, dragging me over to a mannequin and pointing at a rich blue, strappy number.
"I really, really wish those diamonds were rubies," I murmured.
"Got you covered," Chromia murmured, smirking at me. "Buy it, I just need the raw material, it's way easier to hide stuff by simply breaking it down into it's component atoms."
"You, are the best person ever," I murmured, grinning at her. I glanced over and picked out a pair of nylons to match.
"Black?" Chromia murmured curiously. I turned the package around with a smirk. "Seams!" she whispered gleefully. "So that's your gift to Optimus. Now what?"
"Now I'm done, it's your turn," I grinned at her.
"I'm set," Chromia giggled. "Optimus and Ironhide are still debating each other, let's wander!"
"Pick out some knick-knacks for people," I grinned. We strode, arm in arm through the mall, chatting cheerfully and picking out little gifts for people.
We caught up to the boys and headed for the toys. Optimus and Ironhide cheerfully wandered through the aisles, dragging Chromia and I along behind themselves as they endeavoured to find the perfect thing for Anabelle.
"Come on Kae!" Optimus rumbled gleefully, winding his arms around my waist as I laughed at him. I hugged him, letting him drag me beside him a few paces before I escaped him and caught sight of something hilarious.
"Optimus!" I crowed, snatching up a tiny model truck, a Peterbilt 379. I grinned and held it up. "It's you!"
"I, am not that small," Optimus rumbled with a snort.
"Well I'm getting it anyway," I grinned, lightly palming the package.
"What for?" Optimus laughed. "you already have me!"
"Call it a piece of memorabilia for when you decide you're tired of me." I shrugged.
ΩNever,Ω Optimus rumbled softly, lightly cupping my cheek. I smiled up at him.
Ironhide crowed as he spotted his quarry, picking up a stuffed hippo and laughing as it made fart noises. Optimus snorted and towed me down a couple more aisles before he whooped, snatching up an absolutely adorable little outfit. It looked ridiculously comfortable.
"Good?" he rumbled with a grin, holding it up for my approval.
"Very good," I smiled at him. The dear bot.
"Males," Chromia giggled quietly to me as they proudly marched to the checkout. I nudged her with a grin as several women stared at our men.
"I don't see rings on their fingers," one whispered to her friend. I watched with amusement as Chromia bristled slightly, seeing other females eyeing her lover.
"We are allowed to mark our territory on earth," I murmured to her.
"How?" she asked, her eyes narrowed. "On Cybertron we would offer challenges to them... fight with the challenged's chosen weapon..."
"Follow my lead," I murmured, winking at her and walking quickly after Optimus. I promptly wound myself around his holoform.
"Found you!" I grinned up at him, hauling myself up by his shoulders to catch his lips. He laughed and leaned down, kissing me gently.
"And this is for?" he rumbled softly as Ironhide eyed us curiously.
"Just marking my territory, earth style," I murmured back, smiling up at the surprise in his holoform's eyes. "You two are being scoped, by the way."
"And so you mark me as your own, I am honoured," Optimus rumbled gently the next moment, reaching up to cup my cheek. I cuddled into the circle of his arm, smiling as Chromia cheerfully bounced up to Ironhide the next second.
"There you are!" she stated brightly. "Did you find something nice?"
"Yes I did," Ironhide grinned down at her, leaning down to kiss the tip of her nose. "Have no fear my beautiful one, you shall not lose me."
Chromia promptly melted against him.
"I look better than that short one, don't I?" the woman murmured to her friend.
"Go for it, walk past," the other egged her on. Optimus pulled me a bit more tightly into his side as pure instinct had me bristling slightly.
"It is astonishing, really," he rumbled calmly, raising his voice slightly as he looked at Ironhide. "People speak behind our backs when they believe we cannot hear."
"Every race has it's flaws," Ironhide shrugged in counterpart. He snorted, "Remember Simfur?"
"I knew you were waiting for her when you didn't accept the what? Ninety propositions you received in Central?" Optimus chuckled.
"I was thinking more about the triads going after you, youngling," Ironhide snorted.
I instantly felt better.
"I can't blame them, really," I smiled up at my Optimus. "You are the epitome of sexy, you know that don't you?"
"I was thinking of you when I chose this form," Optimus rumbled musingly, he looked up at the cashier with a smile.
The little girl was gawping at us.
"You... you're..." she whimpered, she turned to the cashier behind her. "Is that!?" she demanded of the boy.
"Definitely looks like Optimus Prime and his Ambassador," the boy grinned. He bowed haltingly to Optimus. "A pleasure to lay eyes on you, sir."
"Well shit, we done bin found out," Ironhide snorted as Will jogged toward us, grinning.
"Are you done can we go!?" he demanded, bouncing excitedly.
"Just as soon as I have paid," Optimus rumbled, smiling at the cashier as she hurriedly ran the outfit through, accepting the card with shaking fingers.
"Can... can I have your autographs?" she asked faintly. Optimus gave a low chuckle and delicately accepted the pen, drawing his mark and signing it with a firm hand. Wide eyed and grinning, the girl offered me the pen.
I laughed softly and signed my name with a flourish, drew my own mark and handed the pen over to Chromia. She grinned, signed name and mark and handed the pen to Ironhide. It was fascinating to see the marks written down; Chromia wrote with an absolutely beautiful script, flowing and graceful. Ironhide's writing followed his personality perfectly. Powerful, blunt, showing absolutely no nonsense.
"Look at that, serving with friggen celebrities now," Will laughed, ushering us out of the store, I noted with final amusement that the two women looked vaguely ill now.
"That. Just completely made my day," I stated cheerfully.
"How so?" Optimus rumbled with a snort. "I did not sense any wish for recognition in you, my Kae."
"Recognition nothing," I snorted evilly. "I just liked the look on those women's faces when they found out you're not simply gorgeous, you're currently one of the most important figures in the media. And taken."
Optimus stared at me and burst out laughing alongside the menfolk.
"Oh, and by the way, Kae?" Chromia grinned at me. "That chick's got nothing on you. At all. Did you smell that perfume!?"
"Cotton candy," I told her with a low laugh. "Actually, that's a thought, I haven't got any perfume anymore. Catch you up?" I looked up at Optimus curiously.
"I am so coming with!" Chromia bubbled gleefully.
"I should get Sarah a bottle," Will mused.
"There are females here, you're helping me choose a scent," Jacobs told me calmly. Chromia whooped and picked her pace up slightly.
"You need no perfume," Optimus rumbled in my ear, I looked at him curiously. "Your scent is intoxicating. Why mask such a beautiful thing?"
"Mask no," I smiled at him. I began laughing as Chromia began sniffing around the aisles, grinning at the bottles.
"The only thing I can't make myself," she stated cheerfully, lightly nudging me.
"C'mere Lon," I grinned at the enormous african. He approached me warily. I crooked my finger at him imperiously.
"What're you doing?" he rumbled, looking down at me curiously.
"I need your neck," I laughed at him. He bent down and I took a deep breath of his personal scent. I thought for a moment and grinned, scanning the shelves for a long moment before pulling down a bottle of Lancombe. "Wrist," I commanded with a grin, dabbing the tiniest bit to the pulse point. "Rub it into your skin."
Jacobs obeyed with a frown as I hunted down the tiny jar of coffee beans. I stuck it in his face with a smirk.
"Breathe," I commanded. He took a deep breath and released it. "Now catch the scent at your wrist."
He obeyed and raised his eyebrows. "That's actually nice," he rumbled in a shocked tone. Chromia immediately caught his wrist and sniffed.
"Perfect, take that one," she commanded with a broad grin. Epps promptly dove for the coffee beans, taking a deep whiff as Will and Jacobs laughed at him.
"Gotta make sure you don't smell too pretty Lonnie," Epps stated blandly, smirking at the marine. They ducked at each other, laughing the next moment. Jacobs offered his wrist.
"Smells like moss or something," Epps snorted.
"Smells like the mangroves at night," Ironhide rumbled the next second. Chromia promptly squealed and ran for a bottle.
"You're right! It does!" Jacobs stated, jumping. He held his wrist to his face and took a deep breath. His face became blissful. "It smells like home." he rumbled contentedly. I laughed and hugged him, then quietly tucked the box into my basket. Chromia skidded to a halt, winding an arm around my waist with an enormous grin.
She was carrying a box. Already gift wrapped.
"I. Have got your christmas present." She announced seriously, looking at Optimus. "Don't even try to scan the barcode, I've completely deactivated it." she smirked at him.
"But-" Optimus rumbled beside me.
"Has what I taught you bin deleted youngling?" Ironhide drawled, giving Optimus a gentle shove. Optimus promptly rolled his eyes.
"Never argue with a Femme on a mission," Optimus rumbled with a snort. "However I think it best we leave before Ironhide next insists on a throw-down."
"If I don't see my favourite Hatchling soon I'm not gonna announce the throw-down." Ironhide smirked.
"Catch you up," I murmured, kissing Optimus' jaw and making a beeline for the checkout. Chromia immediately wound her arm around my waist, matching my stride.
"You can thank me later." Chromia stated cheerfully.
"For?" I grinned at her.
"This," she murmured conspiratorially, lightly bouncing the box in her hand. "When mixed with your pheromones, smells exactly like the guardian's falls."
I gasped and looked at her in shock.
"You brilliant, beautiful, gorgeous wonderful femme." I whispered. "Can I thank you now too?"
"You just did," Chromia smirked as I immediately set the box amid the four I'd picked out. "That one is for Ironhide, isn't it."
"Well... you and Ironhide," I murmured with a snort.
"Because mixed with the scent of his component parts, it'll smell like the bonding circle," Chromia told me cheerfully. "Which smelled incredible, by the way."
"How do you remember all of this?" I asked with a low laugh.
"Hey, I've got a few conquests of my own," Chromia stated with a perfectly regal tilt to her head. "I remember the information."
"Gorgeous creature," I grinned, winding an arm around her waist. I smiled at the cashier and quickly paid for the perfumes.
"Gift wrap?" I murmured.
"Got it covered," Chromia murmured, winking at me. "Waste not want not." I grinned and linked my arm with hers, making a beeline for Optimus' true form.
