Chapter 14: Prize Fight.
"She likes you, you know that right?" Missy suddenly said out of the blue, looking right into Reaper's eyes, making him balk a little and nearly spit out the water he was drinking, "I can see it in the way she looks at you, she get's this little smile like you make her happy," she continued, making Reaper stare at her thoughtfully.
He lowered his head and looked at his hands holding tightly to the metal water bottle, staring at the opening of the neck like a genie might just pop out and answer all his problems, "she barely knows me, and I barely know her," he said, but Missy shook her head in disagreement.
"She knows enough, I think, that thing she does when she makes contact for the first time, I think it opens some kind of door in your mind that lets her walk through your thoughts, if she wants to, I think the first time she doesn't get much of a choice because the link is being formed, after that I think she can just turn it on and off, but in that moment she learns about you, she see's you for who you really are, and you can't hide it from her because she's in your head, but it's not just that with you, with you I reckon she likes what she see's, which I can't say I blame her, you are a pretty boy, even with all the scars," she said, grinning at him making him laugh.
"Err thanks, I think," he said, and she grinned and swished her long tail.
"You're welcome, humans are a pretty species, I'm going to get me a pretty human boy when I'm old enough to start dating, I hear they like Felenis girls, so I got it made," she said, putting her arms behind her head and leaning back with a wistful smile on her face, making Reaper grin at her.
"Well, human boys do tend to like their girls confident, and you sure got that in spades, kiddo," he said, screwing the cap back on his bottle after making absolutely sure there were no genies in the bottle.
Missy grinned broadly and nodded, then she looked him right in the eyes again and he saw the bright shining intelligence in them, "she thinks your beautiful, and I can see it in the way you look at her that you think she's beautiful too, don't you? You don't see her as some big monstrous freak or evil anymore, well you did when you first saw her, but now you see she's just a girl, no different to me other than the way she looks or her size, inside she's just a scared girl who wants to live and love, same as any girl," she said with a sad smile.
Reaper nodded slowly, "same as any boy for that matter," he said, reflecting her sad smile back at her, and now she nodded.
"So give her a chance Reaper, that's all I'm saying, give her a chance to prove herself to you," she said, suddenly, Reaper cocked his head curiously.
"Umm, honestly she doesn't have anything to prove Missy, I think it's more that if anyone is in need of proving themselves it's me to her, she's already proved that she's willing to protect us and care for us, for me, with what she did getting us away from the Xeno horde, all I did was ride on her back, weigh her down and shoot, and besides, truly, I don't think I'd be a good fit for her," he said, and Missy looked shocked.
"Why would you say that!? Of course you're a good fit! You'd be amazing together!" she exclaimed, and he hung his head slowly and looked at his hands again.
"Because I'm truly and utterly useless when it comes to women and their feelings, and she deserves someone who will know how to love her, hell I haven't got the first clue about even loving my own kind, let alone a Yaujta or a Xeno, how the hell am I supposed to make someone like that happy?" he said, suddenly Missy looked confused.
"Yaujta? Who said anything about a Yaujta? Macha is a Xeno," she said, and Reaper looked startled as he'd accidently mentioned Inferno in the same equation but, before he could say another word, the bedroom door burst open and two shapes rushed in, making Missy scream and dive for cover, while Reaper turned and brought up his weapon, just as Macha burst out of the bedroom, her claws held high and her tail poised to strike.
Then, just as the flurry of activity slowed to a second of clarity Reaper realized who had just burst into their room and he actually dropped his gun, "Inferno! Spike! You're alive!" he yelled, leaping to his feet and rushing forwards with his arms open wide.
Spike grinned and opened his arms to receive his friend, but before Reaper reached him Inferno shoved him aside and threw her long arms around Reaper, picking him up and swinging him around.
"Reaper! It's good to see you! I am so glad you are whole and unharmed!" she growled so very happily, and Reaper had to cling on to her for grim death as she span him around, finally, she placed him down on his feet but did not let go and, Reaper, even through his flexible armor could feel her grip on him, and even if he couldn't see her face he knew she was smiling.
"You too, big girl! I was beginning to think I'd never see any of you guys again, Missy, Macha no need to worry these are two of my friends and comrades in arms, this is Inferno and Spike, guys these are my new friends, the young sassy one there is Missy, and the big kick ass Xeno girl there is Macha," Reaper said so very happily, his voice sounded kinda crackly as he tried to reign in the emotion pouring into it at begin reunited with his friends, but that was when something odd happened, both Inferno and Macha looked at one another, and at exactly the same time and in two different languages said the same thing, "You're her aren't you?"
Reaper heard them both as he could understand Macha but he knew that neither Spike or Inferno wouldn't have a clue what she said, but it freaked him out that they'd both said that, it also unnerved him that both of them didn't at all seemed phased that there was a Xeno in the room and neither of them showed a single sign of aggression, something odd was going on here, but first he needed to solve a problem, a communication problem.
He turned to Macha and smiled apologetically, "umm I kinda need you to do that thing again to let them understand you," he said softly, her expression soured.
"If I must, but I swear, if your dark skinned male there kisses me back I'm biting his tongue off," she growled, Spike looked between them curiously as he realized that Reaper could understand her and he watched as she came up to him looking up at her with an expression full of awe.
"Dude! You never said you could speak Xeno!? What did she say?" he exclaimed, looking at Reaper, Reaper smiled a little apologetically.
"Don't kiss back or she'll bite your tongue off," he said, and Spike froze.
"Say what n...!" he managed to say before Macha grabbed him and, with a swift move, Reaper pulled his helmet off letting her jam her inner mouth into Spike's giving him the quickest dose of royal jelly ever, and no sooner had she pulled it from his mouth she seemed to be trying to scrape the taste off.
"He is not sweet like you!" she moaned miserably as Spike collapsed, the Royal jelly kicking in, Inferno rushed to her fallen friend's side and dropped to her knees.
"What did you do to him!?" she roared angrily before Reaper put a reassuring hand on her massive shoulder and she snapped her head to look at him almost accusingly through her mask.
"Nothing bad I swear, my friend, I would never let anyone hurt one of us you know that, she just gave him a small dose of Royal jelly, it lets her communicate with us telepathically and, err, I hate to say this, but she needs to do the same to you as well," he said.
Inferno growled and Reaper braced himself for fireworks and shit like beds and couches flying around the room, not to mention gunshots, but they never came, she simply growled softly and then removed her mask to look at Macha, and there was a look in her eyes that Reaper had not ever seen before and really couldn't place, Macha and Inferno looked at each other with a soft look of almost familiarity , but then without saying a word Macha lowered her head and very genty took hold of Inferno's head like she was squaring up to kiss her lover and the pair opened their mandibles and with zero resistance on Inferno's part, the pair kissed and promptly caused Reaper's mouth to drop open and his mind to be utterly blown to little pieces as he witnessed possibly, no scratch that, definitely the most erotic thing he'd ever seen in his life as his best friend and his new Xeno friend kissed with a tenderness he'd have never expected from either of them.
Once Macha released Inferno from the kiss she promptly went to collapse but Macha caught her and lifted her up into a bridal carry, holding the now unconscious Yaujta like she weighed nothing in her powerful arms, "I will put her somewhere more comfortable to rest," she said, turning and heading for the bedroom that Missy had designated for him and her, he nodded, dumb struck at his reaction.
"Ummm, what about Spike?" he asked, lifting his other unconscious comrade up in his own arms.
"Put him on the couch, it is more than big enough and there are plenty of blankets and pillows, there is room for us three only in this hive here," Macha said very sharply, and with that she turned and carried Inferno into the bedroom using her tail to close the door behind her leaving a very stunned Reaper and Missy and a still unconscious Spike in the living room, Reaper looked at Missy for some clue as to what in the name of merry hell was going on here or at the very least with her, he'd never ever seen Inferno act like that with another female, not once, not even with females she knew, hell, he remembered the last time Moodstone threatened to kiss her to make Tank jealous and she simply looked her and said the most Inferno thing he had ever heard in his life.
"If you even pucker your lips in my direction I will tear them off and push them up your own tail hole with my boot," in fact, it had been the standing joke on the ship for about a month that they were going to put that quote on her tombstone, in fact, Spike had even mocked up a mock grave with the holo projector of her wearing a bikini, holding her hand towards an angel coming down from the sky with that quote written on it, Spike hid in a torpedo tube for three days before Inferno found him.
Missy just shrugged, looking as confused as he was, "Well, I don't think she could have been any clearer about who's allowed in the bed with her, so if your still unclear about how she's feeling I'd say that's as clear as it gets, you, her, and for some reason your Yautja friend in the bedroom, though I ummm didn't know that was her thing, maybe she just wants to ask your friend some pointers?" she said, shrugging again, Reaper looked confused.
"Pointers for what?" he asked, and Missy sighed.
"Wow guys are blind sometimes, on how to get to you of course, duh!" Missy said, pulling a retard face, Reaper felt a cold shiver pass up his spine, oh boy, that could end very very badly, because, if what half the group was saying about her was true with regards to her liking him, she would tear Macha's tail off and strangle her with it, but then again, he'd never ever seen Inferno act like that, it was like she not only knew her but trusted her as well, hell, in fact, they were both like that, what in the name of hell was going on around here, and they hadn't even got to the solving the mystery of what the hell was happening on this planet part yet.
Reaper sighed and lifted Spike up, walking over to the large three seater couch and he placed him down, putting a large comfy pillow under his head, "pass me a blanket from the cupboard please, Missy," he said, and she nodded, heading over to her room and returning with a large warm looking blanket, he flicked it open and placed it over him before having an idea and quickly detaching a unit from Spike's armor and clipping it to his own and flipping a few switches, he smiled as his wrist comp showed green.
"All call signs, all call signs, this is Reaper back on comms thanks to Spike's comms unit, sound off people, let me hear you!" he said, and almost instantly the comms lit up.
"Welcome back laddie, I never thought I'd be so fucking glad to hear your voice, I got Whisper, Moodstone, and a new friend with me here at one of the hotels in the centre, we're all A ok, and we saw your crazy ass Xeno ride down the rails, damn only fucking you could pull shit like that off, son," Tank's voice said, then, suddenly, another voice jumped in.
"Damn, it's good to hear your voice, this is Ice, I've got Picasso and a civvy with me, We've just come up from the subway after we had to evac the hospital, most fucking ricky tick, we're a few miles from you guys so we're going to find a spot to lock down for the night before we move out in the morning, tracker say's we're closer to tank's group so we'll RV with them before we all move to you, but damn is it good to hear your voice, boss, knew if anyone could run through this shit storm and come out the other size smelling of bloody roses it was you," Ice said, Reaper grinned to himself.
"Roger that guys, we'll save the full debrief for when we get together again, hell I think I could run this cold fusion cell out with all the shit I got to report and I'm still none the wiser as to what's going on in this place," he said.
"Yeah, roger that boss, we'll see you tomorrow, get your head down, I'd say you've most definitely earned it," Tank said.
"Yeah roger that, see you all tomorrow, Reaper out," he said, and he closed the comms unit, taking it off and reattaching it to Spike's armor.
He leaned back on his haunches, feeling a feeling of relief wash over him as he thought about his team safe and sound in this nightmare, it actually felt like days had passed since their landing on this planet when in reality it was barely over one, suddenly, Spike groaned and lifted his head, reaching up to hold it with both hands, "Uggghhh, I feel like I got a thousand angry Xeno's having a singing contest in my head," he moaned, forcing his eyes open to look at Reaper who just grinned at him.
"Yeah, sorry about that man, you kinda needed it to speak to Macha, if its any consolation she hated it too," Reaper said with a grin that made spike groan.
"Great, so not even the Xeno girl wants to kiss me and I'm stuck on a planet full of undead mother fuckers who want to eat my ass, isn't my life all shiny and happy," Spike said grumpily, Missy sniggered softly to herself as she watched this, "and even the cat girl is laughing at me, oh joy," Spike grumped, lifting his head to glare at her as she grinned at him.
Then he turned his head back to his friend, "So what the hell happened to you dude, I saw you get clipped and saw you crash but after that radio silence, we didn't know whether you were alive or dead, Inferno found me pretty quickly and she called the team to find and secure a Hub we could use as a base, Tank and Whisper decided to do that while Ice and Picasso went looking for intel and possibly supplies at the hospital, guess they found a survivor but not much in the way of intel, well, that I know of, but we've been on the move ever since we touched down," Spike said.
Reaper stood up and placed a hand on his friend's shoulder and patted it, "I'm just amazed you found me so quickly, leave it to Inferno to hunt my scrawny ass down in a hurry," he said, and Spike laughed softly.
"That's because she likes your scrawny human ass dude and you know what they say, once a Yautja looks your way they never go away," Spike said with a grin and Missy laughed.
"I've heard that one too! They're like really loyal to those they love and will fight for them to the death, I think everybody should be that way, I really don't like people who abandon their loved ones because they get bored of them or something, I mean how do you get bored of a person who adores you?" she said, which made Spike smile and nod.
"Smart kid, I like her," he said, and Missy swished her tail happily.
"Well, there's food left over I'm going to bed because I'm beat, I'll leave you two to catch up, Reaper, don't leave Macha waiting for you for too long," she said with a sly wink, and with that she vanished into the second bedroom and the sound of a dead bolt being engaged sounded.
"Smart kid, but too bloody old for her years," Reaper said, watching her bedroom door for a moment before turning back to Spike, "Been a hell of a day, man," he said, and Spike nodded in complete agreement.
"Yeah, so tell me what the hell happened to you, man?" Spike asked, and Reaper took a deep breath, this was going to be a fair size tale.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Macha paced back and forth in the bedroom, looking at the unconscious huntress in her bed, a highly evolved form of instinct was screaming in her bead that she should kill her because she would hunt and kill her if she had half a chance, but she just knew that this is the one that the goddess had told her about, this was her hunting partner, somehow she just knew that this one was touched by a goddess herself, it was like her aura had been changed.
She leaned over the big huntress and sniffed her, and to her utter surprise found that her natural scent was actually rather pleasing to her, but this was strange to her, finding anything about another female pleasant or pleasing, but it was just as the goddess had said, she was just like her, she loved Reaper, which, given her greeting to him was bloody obvious, for one moment Macha actually thought she was going to hug him to death and that she was going to actually have to pry him out of her arms and steal him away.
Suddenly, the huntress called Inferno groaned and rolled her head around on the pillow before reaching up to touch her forehead, as she did, Macha felt the connection forming easily to her mind, allowing her to stroll in and explore her mind, just like she had Reaper's, and she saw it as clear as day, her memories flooding her mind and she felt it, the purity of her heart and the strength of of her feelings, she saw all the things that her and Reaper had done together, all the battles they had fought at each other's side, she felt the sheer power of the bond that they both shared.
But the main thing she could feel was the sheer power of the love she felt for him, plus, she felt the pain that was hidden away in there, the pain at not being seen as a woman by the man she so completely and utterly adored.
If Macha was utterly honest with herself, she did feel a few stabs of jealousy of all the time and things that T'shara and Aiden had done and explored together, just the depth of their friendship and their trust of one another.
"Having fun walking through my head are you?" a deep voice growled, snapping her back to reality and making her shake off the connection and her eyes focused to find T'shara, or Inferno as she was also called, staring at her propped up on her elbows.
The pair looked at one another for what felt like an eternity as both females sized the other up, "I am sorry I walked through your mind without your permission, huntress T'shara," Macha said finally, though more to break up the silence that had descended over them as they both stared at her, the huntress's eyes were bright with a mixture of emotions that were stampeding around behind them.
"Please call me either Inferno or T'shara, though I would prefer Inferno when around others as my name is secret, Macha," Inferno said in a very matter of fact voice as she looked at her very directly, Macha nodded in agreement and she shuffled her feet a little awkwardly, she didn't want to get into an argument or off on the wrong foot with this woman, they both needed each other, a point that Inferno grudgingly admitted a moment later, "I was paid a rather surprising visit by the goddess of the hunt and of my people, Paya, she had a very unusual message for me, she told me that in order to gain access to the ooman male who has long since held my heart I must essentially give him to another, that she must aid me on my hunt, and that without her, I would never be able to win or claim my prize, and that without her I'd never be able to hold him, but she said that the same was true of her, that she too hunted this incredible male and that she wished to claim him and have him the same way I did, but without me she would never be able to, so, without the other at their side either of us would never be able to claim our prize, so only together can we possess him and he us," Inferno said in a soft but very flat voice as she looked at her large hand before lifting her eyes to look at Macha.
Macha felt a rush of confidence now, it appeared that Paya had passed along Macha the goddess's message to the huntress, she got the feeling that if she would have been left to pass this message along herself to her it would have erupted into a violent conflict between them, that would have left either of them crippled or dead and that would have caused a real bad out come for all, so the goddesses had gotten involved to put them all together, to create a relationship that they could only have only if what should be the most natural of enemies not only became allies but friends onto lovers.
As if she was now reading her mind Inferno actually smiled at her, "there is nothing in this plain of existence that I want more than the love of that ooman male out there, I am not ashamed finally to say that I am completely and utterly in love with him and have been for a great deal of time, there is not anything I would not do to gain him as my mate, something tells me that despite you knowing that truly incredibly male for only a day or two you feel exactly the same as I, don't you?" she said, looking right into Macha's eyes as she spoke, reading her emotions very well as she did.
Macha sighed and nodded, "yes, I never believed that it was so easy to fall in love so quickly with a member of another race before, but it has happened to me twice, the first male who taught me what beauty was and the true beauty and value of humanity and when I met this second true beauty I could not help but have my heart stolen away from me by him, now there is nothing I wish for more than to belong to him as his queen," she said.
T'shara nodded knowingly, "then it is as my lady Paya said to me, in order for either of us to mate with him and to love him we must join together as one and hunt him together, only then will we be able to capture him and hold him, together we win, alone we fail," she said, and Macha nodded.
"This is what the human celtic goddess who is my name sake told me as well, she told me that if either of us were to try alone we would fail and possibly cause great calamity to all those around us, so it is simple we do this together or not at all," Macha said.
Inferno sat up in the bed and she reached out a hand towards Macha, "there is nothing I would not do to secure the love of Aiden O'Conner, he is my heart, and if the only way that I may be able to share my love with him is with you at my side and to let you do the very same with him that I will do myself with no judgement or jealousy, then that is what I will do and I will do so with honor and pride, I will prove to him, you, and the goddess of the hunt herself that I am worthy of him and of his love and I will share him with you equally and with honor," she said.
Macha looked at her hand and then reached out her own to her, taking her slightly smaller hand in her own, gripping it and feeling the strength of her grip, "you know, the goddess told me that we would join together first as partners in the hunt of our beautiful male, but that to truly show him our love and to become the strong trio she believes we will not only love him together as one, but also each other," Macha said very very softly in a voice that was barely a whisper.
T'Shara looked at her with a curious look and then sighed heavily before nodding, "yes, Paya said as much to me as well, and I am unsure as to how to not only take this but on how to proceed with this information, ummm, I have never in my life ever found another female attractive, but looking at you I cannot call you ugly, there is something, ummm, enchanting about you and I do not understand it," she said, and Macha suddenly felt amazed, this was what she was thinking herself.
"Yes, I too feel this way about you! When I look at you I do not see you as an unattractive being at all, to me there is something about you I cannot place but very much enjoy observing!" she said, which made T'Shara smile.
"Who are we to question the goddesses in love? So together we shall hunt and capture our prey and we shall be victorious, then together we shall revel in his attentions and the purity of his love and all together we shall become stronger and know the joys of the world of ooman love," she said, and Macha nodded very happily and readily.
"Ummm, now that the pact is made and we are bound by our love when should we proceed? And more importantly how?" she asked, and T'Shara smiled knowingly.
"I do not believe we should wait, I have waited a very long time, and this news and divine blessing for my, no, our love has given me the drive to pursue it immediately, granted we may not mate with him immediately as while I do believe we should confess our intentions and make our claim to him I will not allow him to be placed under pressure to perform for us, he is not an object and I will not allow him to be treated as such, he is a beautiful and wonderful male and if we wish him to treat us with the honor and joy and love that we deserve then we must embody these ideals with him, we must treat him exactly as he is, our most beautiful and beloved one, if he is not ready for that step then we will wait because when that joy is ours to have then it will be well worth the wait," she said, and Macha agreed whole heartedly.
Macha couldn't believe that this had been so incredibly easy to achieve, she had fully expected to have to battle the huntress to get her to agree to the terms of their co-male hunt, but obviously her goddesses words had had such an impact on her that she stood utterly ready to enter into this escapade in order to achieve a love with Aiden, which is exactly how she herself felt, after only having known the male for not even a fraction of the time that she had but now stood ready to share him equally with her, she smiled at T'Shara, "Let the hunt begin, my soon to be beloved one," Macha said, actually reaching out and stroking the side of a rather startled T'Shara's face, but rather then pull away or smack her hand away as she feared the big huntress's every instinct told her too she instead leaned into her touch and closed her eyes, reveling in her very first taste of intimacy coming from the most unexpected of places.
"Yes, lets, and lets win, I want my prize," she said softly, Macha smiled softly and very happily.
"Our prize," she said, and T'Shara laughed softly,
"That is going to take some getting used to saying," she said.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Fucking, Jesus H Christ on a bike, boss! If there're infected Xeno's in the sewers that most likely means that there is at least one infected hive nearby, and fuck that could very well mean at least one infected queen!" Spike said, his face looking horrified, and Reaper nodded in agreement.
"If Macha is anything to go by, and given what she said about them running experiments on her and others in an underground lab we could very well be looking at multiple queens and we have no idea how many escaped the lab uninfected other than Macha herself," Reaper said.
Spike looked utterly lost and horrified at this little gem, "Shit is never easy, is it?" he asked, and Reaper grinned.
"If it is they don't call us, it's only when shit goes either royally sideways or utterly FUBAR that they call us, so don't ever expect to wind up having to save the universe from militant cat videos or puppies falling off hover boards, or from an invasion of crazed, bikini wearing, ooman loving, sex starved Yautja girls rampaging around," Reaper said with a knowing grin at Spike who looked both shocked and embar.
"How the fuck did you know about that?" he exclaimed, Reaper clapped his hands.
"Ha I fucking knew it! You do like her!" he exclaimed, and Spike looked at him oddly.
"Huh? Like who? Shit you don't mean Inferno? Ha Ha Ha that's a fucking good one, yeah, I like Yautja girls, but that one has eyes for one ooman and one ooman only, plus I like my Yautja girls a little less, you know, homicidal," he said, laughing, Reaper looked confused for a moment, and then, as if saying her name acted like a summoning spell, the bedroom door opened and both Inferno and Macha appeared together, but that wasn't the odd part that made both Spike and Reaper's mouths fall open, it was the fact that they were both smiling laughing and holding hands as they came out of the room and headed right for Reaper.
Both Reaper and Spike glanced at one another and then at the two huge females as they held hands walking right up to either side of Reaper, "you are coming with us," Macha said as she gripped under his left arm and Inferno did the same under his right and between them they hoisted him into the air, holding him up so that his feet dangled off the ground.
Inferno turned to Spike, "we need to speak to Reaper in absolute privacy, attempt to violate it in any way and I will personally ensure that no Yautja female will look at you ever, and if she does, there won't be enough left of what makes you male for her to even consider using, understand?" she asked, causing Spike to swallow hard and nod.
"Eavesdrop and get my cock ripped off, gotcha," he said, Macha growled and eyed him fiercely.
"Bear in mind, I can read your thoughts if I wish and can now sense you as if you were a member of my hive, so I will know if you break your word," she said darkly and Spike nodded.
"Crazy, not stupid," he said, and they both smiled at him.
"Glad to hear it," they said, and with that they both turned and, never letting Reaper's feet touch the ground, they both headed for the bedroom and once again Macha used her tail to close the door with a bang, Spike swallowed hard.
"Reaper, I seriously don't envy you at this moment, crazy alien girls are going to be the death of every fucker in this regiment," he breathed near silently.
"I heard that!" Macha called through the door, and Spike made an eep noise and buried his head under the blankets as if they'd save him from an angry queen.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
To his surprise Reaper found himself dropped onto the bed, but not dumped, more placed down with kindness and care by two sets of very alien hands and the owners of both sets of hands leaned down over him now and he found himself looking up into not one but two truely exotic and beautiful feminine faces who were both utterly focused on him, in his chest his heart was utterly pounding as adrenaline washed through him, making his entire body feel both hot and cold all at once, something told him that a truly once in a life time moment was coming, one of those moments in your life where you look back and realise that your entire life truly changed and became what it is now at this moment, or look back with regret and always wonder because it's now your greatest regret, suddenly behind the two alien girls hovering over him, one of which had a tail swishing back and forth very hypnotically he became aware of of the intensity in their alien yet beautiful eyes all of which were fixed on him with an incredible intensity.
"Aiden, we both have something to confess to you and we wish you to hear us out before you make a decision, but we wish you to know that what ever you decide we will respect your answer, understand?" Macha said, seemingly as much for Inferno's benefit as his but he nodded in utter agreement.
"Ummm, ok, yeah sure," he said, looking between them both, Macha gestured to Inferno for her to lead, the big Yautja huntress nodded and took a deep breath as if trying to stabilize herself, and that's when he saw it as plain as day, it was there in the back of her beautiful bright eyes, she was not just nervous, she was downright scared.
"Aiden O'Conner, also known as Reaper of the Spirits, honorable warrior and friend, you have changed my life every day since I have been blessed by Paya to meet you, I have had the greatest adventures and hunts at your side, it has been my greatest privilege and honor to know you, fight alongside you, and count myself as your friend, but I wish for more, normally I would do this infront of my entire clan or at the very least my Matriach or Partiach of yours, but in this instance I have only Macha here to validate this and I will act in the same capacity for her, but I hereby lay my heart claim to you, I have loved you from the very first moment I met you, I knew you were different from every male of every species I have met, my own included, you have stolen my heart and I love you like no other and I never will love anyone as much as I love you, but, having said that, I am not the only one who loves you like this," she said, and with that she gestured to Macha who nodded and stepped slightly forward towards him.
"Aiden, I know we have not known each other a single fraction of the time that you and T'Shara have known each other, nor have we fought many battles along side each other, but in joining my mind with yours I learned who you are and what I learned filled my heart with such pure joy that it was like trying to touch the most beautiful of fire, it made me realize that the most beautiful prize in this universe is your heart, but while I had originally thought that I could hold such a prize on my own I was visited by a goddess who told me that for me to hold such a beautiful and wonderful thing alone was not possible, and for me to try and be greedy enough to try would end up in ruin as there was another like me who loved you so intently and purely that for me to take you from them would destroy them in such a way that it would end up in ruin for all of us, I will not and cannot let that happen, I know this, Aiden, I love you with all of my heart and like T'Shara I lay my heart claim to you before her, but in order for you to claim either of us you must accept both of us, because we will not offend the will of the gods and risk the other life or destruction, so this is what we offer you Aiden, if you can love us both and in return we will show you a love you never even dared to dream possible and together the three of us will stand tall and proud in this universe, not as a couple but as a trio, all united in love, this is what we offer you Aiden, so what say you?" Macha said with such incredible passion and sincerity in her voice that Aiden's heart melted in his chest.
He looked at them both and saw the purest emotion he had ever seen in his life reflected in both their eyes, he had never felt such a rush of emotion in his life, not one incredible alien girl declaring her love for him, but two and both committing to be with him together as one so that the other one wouldn't be hurt and cause a fight that could ruin everything out of jealousy, but also it sounded like both of them had been pushed by some kind of divine intervention, but, beyond that, now he was forced to see the feelings that he'd tried to ignore, to pretend didn't exist because he was so utterly terrified that they would ruin things, not only between him and T'Shara who, for apparently as long as he had loved her had loved him, but also now for Macha, which had come completely out of the blue and stormed her way into his heart like a tornado of joy.
Now, forced to look at them both with his self imposed blinkers removed, he had no choice but to hit this head on, and now, as he looked at them both and saw sure pure hope and want in their alien eyes he broke, his guard collapsed and his resolve failed him, he swallowed and, as his heart seemingly tried to nope the fuck right out of his chest he broke, tears began to fall down his cheeks, "I can't do it, I can't deny it to myself any longer, I have tried and tried and tried not to look at you both the way I have, because I was so utterly scared that I would ruin everything, but I can't do it any more, T'Shara, Macha, I accept your offer, if you both want me that badly, I am yours, I offer myself to you both freely of my own free will, let us be together, I will love you both equally as you deserve to be loved, all that I ask is that you please, treat me gently, it has been a very long time for me, and hell, I wasn't even sure that it would ever come again, because, with what we do for a living, I didn't think it was fair to any prospective mate to have to put up with the thought of me not coming back and with the long absences, but now I can share it with not just one but two who can utterly understand me, so yes, I accept your joint heart claim and lay my own to both of you, T'Shara honorable huntress, legendary warrior, true friend, and Macha, powerful and good queen, friend to those that need her, and true enemy of those who would harm the innocent, I accept your joint claim on me and lay claim to you, may we walk hand in hand the rest of our lives, live, love, and hunt together as one," he said with his voice so utterly broken by joy and passion that both of them broke just the same as him.
With a single swift and fluid move, both T'Shara and Macha leapt forwards, throwing their arms around Aiden, who was probably at this point being saved by his armor thanks to their combined weight and strength, but he didn't care, he just held both his alien girls as they wept with pure joy into a cheek, each their warm tears mingling and running down his collar making the inside of his armor wet and warm, but he just didn't care, he'd given his entire self to these two beautiful women, and he couldn't have ever imagined a joy this strong or potent in his life, and it only took him to wind up in the middle of an apocalyptic event for it to happen.
The weight and strength of his girls pushed him down flat onto the bed as both of them clamoured to gain a shoulder each, and for a moment he worried that the size of Macha's head was going to prevent her gaining a place to rest it, but she managed to position herself so that she was able to rest the front part of her head on him and the back on the pillow, giving her a perfectly flat base, on his other shoulder, T'Shara moved her head so she was looking up at him, "Ummm, as you have already had a taste thanks to the way you placed your language in his mind, would you mind if I got first ooman kiss, Macha?" T'Shara asked in a soft voice that Aiden would have never imagined that she was even capable of.
Macha smiled so beautifully, drawing up her mandibles as she did and nodded, "Of course, my female beloved one," she said, and T'Shara smiled at that.
"Why does that name feel so natural to me?" she asked.
"Because it is true and our love, all of our love is blessed by the gods, destined not to be two, but three, united by the truest of loves, strong enough and true enough to not only cross genders, but species as well, and I say this with utter honestly, T'Shara, I am going to do my very best to love you as much as I love him, you will be one half of my heart and he the other, as I know you will both do for me too," she said, Aiden smiled broadly.
"Bet your sweet tail we will," he said, and T'Shara nodded,
"Thank you, my love," she said, saying the words as naturally as breathing, and making Macha beam from dread to dread, then, with a smooth and slick move, T'Shara turned and gripped Aiden's head in her large hands.
"Come here, beautiful ooman, my beautiful ooman, our beautiful ooman, I have waited for this moment for a very very long time and I will wait no longer," she said, and with that she opened her mandibles, and stroked both his cheeks before, very tenderly but powerfully, gripping his face and drawing his mouth to hers, pushing her tongue right into his mouth and nearly dying of pure pleasure as the sweetness of his saliva coated her tongue.
When they both finally broke from their kiss the pair were misty eyed and blushed in the face, "my turn now," Macha said, and before he could say a word Macha turned his face and, using the same technique she'd just seen T'Shara use, she too locked his face in place before invading his mouth with her inner mouth and making him shiver and shudder all over again as pleasure burst through both of them as they reveled in their incredible tastes and the exploding intimate sensations that, when they broke, left them both breathless, that was when T'Shara seemed to want to honor her commitment to it's absolute zenith, she reached over Aiden's body and with a gentle move she turned Macha's face to hers and, with a swiftness born of her kind, moved forwards and entwined her mandibles with her fellow wife's and the pair pulled together, right before very breathless and surprised Aiden T'Shara opened her mouth and coiled her long tongue around Macha's inner mouth as it made it's way into her own mouth to be sucked upon by her pure blood Yautja wife before they broke and the three looked at one another in pure love, "together as one," Aiden whispered softly.
"And sealed with a kiss," T'Shara said, smiling at both of them, Macha smiled at both of them coyly.
"You know, this group is a little unfair to me," she said softly, and both Aiden and T'Shara looked at her in surprise.
"What makes you say that!?" T'Shara exclaimed, and Macha's coy smile widened.
"Well, you two are dressed in amor while I'm naked, my eyes wish to see too, you know," she said, and both Aiden and T'Shara glanced at one another before they both burst out laughing.
"True enough, I suppose, so what do you say my love, want to get naked?" he asked, and she grinned,
"For you two, anything," T'Shara said, before both Aiden and and Macha nuzzled her, then the three separated for Aiden and T'Shara to strip off while Macha draped her rather sizable frame over the bed to watch them both intently, tonight was going to be a very good night, a night she had waited a life time to enjoy.
