Chapter 43 Part 4: Doctors Orders.
Liquid was confused as to why Ice had dragged him to the mess hall, but the loud human music soon quelled that confusion, he'd never heard music before and he had to admit it was a rather beautiful scene with everyone jumping around and moving their bodies in time with the beats and rhythms of it.
"Come on, Liquid, don't just stand there looking lost, shake that long tail of yours, here, let me show you," Ice said, grabbing him suddenly and snapping him out of the stupor of watching everyone, she pulled him to her and he felt her firm body press against him and she began to move and sway with him, using her whole body to guide his as they began to sway together.
Ice's face lit up as he began to move on his own, "That's it! Now you're getting it, gorgeous, move just like that, shake those hips, but just watch that tail spike, don't want anyone becoming a kebab now, do we?" she said with a grin, and Liquid shuddered at the thought of accidently hurting someone with his razor sharp tail tip.
"I couldn't bare it if I accidently impaled someone," he hissed softly, and Ice laughed and he looked at her curiously.
"Oh, I don't know, I'm sure more than a few of the girls here wouldn't mind being impaled by you, just not on your tail," she said playfully, and he didn't get it, he started looking around at himself trying to figure out what else exactly he could impale someone with and Ice, upon seeing his confusion, beckoned him to lean his head down so she didn't have to shout over the music, she whispered in his ear and the combination of her soft, hot breath and her husky voice sent shivers down his spine but her words made him flush as she vividly described just what part of him girls would rather enjoy being impaled upon.
"I-I-I wouldn't know anything about that, I-I-I've never done it, though our old queen, the one who birthed me, told me about it, she also told me that when I found my one it would make me a Praetorian and it would then be my duty to guard her and my hive," she said.
Ice cocked her head curiously at this, she'd obviously seen Praetorian's and they were truly incredible beings, bigger than normal Xenos but smaller than queens, but she thought that they were all female, it was supposed to be the stage below becoming a queen, but maybe the evolved genus Xenos were different, outside of Clan Mason space not a lot was known about them, they were the leading authority on Xeno biology, having been the first ones to successfully not only interact with them but to have developed interspecies relationships with them, so speaking to one of their Tamers like Ryan would probably be prudent to learn about this.
But right now she was more intent on dancing with him and putting her human charms to good use to seduce the innocent Xeno male, she was sick of being left out of the love fest that seemed to be happening all around her, it seemed like the whole crew had gone love crazy, maybe the impending end of the universe had put everything in perspective for them, it had for her, that was for sure.
Being a Spirit meant that for the most part you were alone, sure, you had your fellow Spirits, but unless you were lucky like Tank and Moodstone and you found your one among your fellows then you could have the best of both worlds, but until recently it had been an incredibly lonely and solitary existence for them all.
But it had been something they'd chosen, defenders of freedom and peace in the galaxy, but it had always worn on Ice, she missed the closeness and intimacy of having someone to curl up with and just to exist with, someone you could turn to in moments of the heights of your emotions and find the salve you needed in them.
If you were angry they could soothe you, if you were frightened they would strengthen you, if you were sad they would cheer you, if you were aroused they would offer you their body to take your passions out on in exchange for the care and pleasure you would gift to them, all of this was wrapped up in the one little word she'd craved to feel since she was a little girl, love.
Ice had always thought that her future had rested with her own species, never once had she looked at another race as anything other than sentient aliens, granted, she had seen elements of beauty in a great many of them, but never enough to stir her heart to motion, not until now.
She felt herself becoming mesmerized by the young male Xeno as he danced and swayed in time with the music, the light reflecting off his black hide and the beautiful contrast of the white medical coat and clothes he was wearing really making it pop as he moved, she'd never in her life thought about trying to seduce a member of another race but right now as she watched the way his hips rolled and his tail swished, the way his face lit up as the music took him it was all she could think about, he was all she could think about, it was like the pretty Xeno had scurried his way into her mind and began setting up a little hive in there somewhere and she couldn't and wouldn't shake him loose.
But then, why the hell should she?
Didn't she deserve a shot at happiness to?
Everyone else had manged to pair themselves off on this crazy ass mission from hell, hell, even people who'd just come aboard seemed to be finding love, she'd seen the big Beledon girl called Cuddlebug carrying away her rather surprised human charge earlier and she knew that by now that big girl would be showing that lucky human the ways of her species one on one.
She never imagined it would be a Xeno of all creatures that would turn her head away from her own kind but between Liquid here and his brother they'd managed it, though, she had to admit that Liquid was the prettier of the two, there was just something about his face and those cute dorsal spines that just screamed 'touch me, please' to her, it was like those shorter than normal spines were begging her to run her hands and possibly her tongue all over them, a shiver of want echoed through her as those delicious images ran through her mind like a little screeching Xeno of happy, it looked like a little naked Liquid.
Fuck it, she was going to go for it, consequences be damned, if Rose, the utterly adorable little cyborg girl that they'd rescued from that station, could steal away a Xeno girl from Macha's hive then she could steal away this beautiful innocent boy and make him hers, she would treat him right and make him happy if only he'd give her a chance, but if being a Spirit had taught her anything it was that most of the time one chance was all you got and you had to take it, seize it and hold the fuck on for all you were worth.
Time to woman the fuck up and take a chance, this would either go really wrong, or really, really right, Ice stepped towards her tall, lithe companion as he swayed, matching her movements to his, her heart soared as she saw Liquid lower his head to watch her and she gave him a show, lifting her arms above her head and swaying her whole body like a belly dancer spinning in a circle to let him see all of her, granted, her doctor's gear wasn't exactly what you'd call sexy but she was going to bloody well make it sexy for him, plus, she was kinda digging the irony of her being the doctor and him being the nurse, but she was definitely hoping to play a round of doctors and nurses later, though, with any luck, she'd be the one doing the very, very thorough examination and he'd be the one giving her a very deep injection.
She used his obvious confusion and interest to move close enough to him to slip her arms around his long neck and to slip a hand around the back of his long domed head using the back of his smooth skull to tip his head forward into kissing range, though she had to lift herself up onto her toes to reach the confused but compliant Xeno boy and, with a slow movement designed to let him see what was happening so that he could either choose to let it happen, just like she hoped he would, and, oh, how she hoped he did, or he could pull away and deny her.
But it was his choice at the end of the day, she wouldn't want to force him or to make him feel uncomfortable, he'd only moments ago told her that he'd never done anything like this before, hell, she didn't even have a clue how a romance within the walls of a hive would work, since they were all technically related, did they send their boys out to find other hives to join to make new queens.
Liquid tilted his head the way she wanted him to and, with a slow, torturous movement, she closed right in and pressed her mouth to his, feeling his soft lips against hers and suddenly she realized how he got his name, his hide was so soft, it felt like warm liquid against her skin, the way his soft hide flowed against her skin and, oh god, he tasted divine, she kissed him over and over moving her mouth in small little testing kisses to show him what she wanted and what she wanted was him, all of him.
Slowly and obviously unsure of himself the beautiful boy Xeno opened his mouth for her and with a confident move she invaded it with her tongue, tasting his sharp teeth and his long wide mouth, his saliva was thick and it coated her tongue, sending rivers of pleasure through her, she found his incredibly long tongue and tickled the inner mouth on the end of it with the tip of her tongue 'till he opened it up and let her inside, oh, wow, this was an utterly new experience, tasting a mouth within a mouth, it was somehow incredibly sensual, like overcoming his barriers of defence one at a time, breaking down his walls so she could build them back up for him even stronger than before.
Inside his inner mouth was a soft little tunnel of pulsing flesh that seemed to ripple every time she touched it with her tongue, when finally she pulled her tongue from his mouth Liquid looked like he was in a trance, "tell me you want this, please tell me you want this, that you want me the way I want you," she said breathlessly in his ear, his long domed head nodded slowly.
"Say it, Liquid, I want you hear you say the words, please," ice said, punctuating each word with a soft kiss to the side of the obviously nervous young Xeno's head, working her way right under his chin and down his long neck.
"I-I-I want this, I want you Ice, you're beautiful and you make my heart flutter every time you come near me and I don't know what to do about it, I-I-I've never felt this way before," he stammered, sounding so frightened and excited all at once.
"Oh, sweetie, you don't have to be scared of little old me," she said softly as she kissed his neck.
"I-I-I just don't want to disappoint you, I mean, what do I have to offer someone like you? I mean, look at me, you're this amazing special forces soldier and a doctor and I'm just an assistant, and I'm barely that," Liquid hissed softly, and it melted Ice's heart.
"Oh, Liquid, I don't care about jobs or titles or wealth or anything like that, you've lit my heart alight and all I care about is being happy and I know in my heart that you can do that, just like I can make you happy, sweet one, just take a chance on me, ok, I promise you you won't regret it," she said.
He lowered his head to look her right in the eye, "I just hope you don't regret it," he said softly, and she felt such a pang in her chest, this beautiful Xeno was so sweet, he was so concerned that he was going to disappoint her that it was so sweet, how could any girl be dissapointed with a guy like him, he was beautiful, he was strong, gentle, plus, he was super smart, only recently he was living in a hive underground, now he was a medical assistant on the Spirit flag ship working under her and, oh god, if she got her way he'd be doing a lot more work under her very soon and maybe if she was lucky she'd be doing some under him.
Those thoughts sent shivers down her spine and sent her heart into overdrive, she ran a hand over his liquid smooth hide and over his head, making him purr softly and it was obviously an involuntary response but a beautiful one, "What do you say we ditch this place and head to my quarters? I'd like to give you a more private kind of dance," Ice said softly in his ear, and Liquid made made a sort of strangled squeak noise that made her giggle, his nervousness was utterly adorable but she hoped by the end of this night she'd cure him of it, he was such a sweet heart and she wanted him to be confident in himself and she was going to show him just how beautiful he truly was.
She reached out and took his long, spindly, and very dextrous hand in hers and slowly and gently led him towards the doors and as they passed through the crowd it was like no one else in the world existed right then, it was just her and her handsome Xeno boy walking towards their destiny.
She lead him through the ship towards her room and she had to admit the nerves were infectious, her hands were shaking as she held one hand in hers, relishing the feeling of his long fingers interlocked and coiled around hers, as she lifted her other hand to touch the pad to open her door she realized it was trembling, but then she supposed that was fair, he wasn't the only one who was worried about pleasing someone, she too was desperate to prove herself to him, to snatch this handsome boy away from his own kind and to instill in him a taste for humanity, more specifically, for her humanity.
Ice couldn't believe how fast things were progressing here or how easy this was, romance had never come easy for her and had been a very rocky road at the best of times, worse when she'd joined the Spirits due to the fact that they were constantly on the move and on the job, then add in on top of that the secrecy required by her job didn't make for a very trustworthy partnership.
But here, with this beautiful Xeno boy, she could for the first time be her true self, free and unchained by these burdens because he understood them and they didn't matter to him, all that mattered to this complex but simple male was happiness, a happiness she yearned to the very core of her soul to obtain for herself, all the while gifting it to him as well, happiness born through simple understanding and unity, ironicly, the Xeno way of things rather than the human one.
As the door slid open with a quiet whoosh she led the nervous Xeno boy inside her room and he hesitated slightly before stepping over the threshold, "It's ok, sweet one, you're ok, I won't hurt you and I know you won't hurt me," she said softly and reassuringly as she lead him inside and he actually jumped as the door closed behind him, he was utterly utterly adorable.
It was such an amazing thing to her that a creature so strong and powerful and indeed in most places feared with good reason could be so nervous and scared of her, she turned to face him and smiled up at him, "Would you like a drink? A little something to take the edge off?" She asked, he nodded.
"Yes, please," he said, and her smile broadened, such beautiful manners, she did so like a male with good manners, his mother had taught him well, they were so very misunderstood as a species but Clan Mason had sought to fix that and, in a way, they had, but there was so far yet to go.
She got him a shot of the real Scottish Whisky that Tank had given her for her birthday this year, he swore by it and she had to admit the stuff was good, smooth, but kicked like a mule if you weren't careful with it, he surprisingly knocked back the shot in one and shook his head as the powerful drink hit him.
He hissed softly and looked at the glass and she laughed softly, "Good stuff, eh?" she said, and he nodded.
"First time I've had alcohol, it's, umm, interesting," he said, and she laughed again.
Suddenly he reached out and gently touched her face, "You are very beautiful, Ice, your skin glows to me, it sings and begs for me to touch it, to touch you, it's like I can feel your heart calling out to mine, in only a short time I've fallen for you and I don't know how or why but it feels so real and so pure, is this love?" he said in a soft beautiful voice that resonated with such pure emotion that it threatened to tear her very heart from her chest, this young Xeno was holding out a hand in the purest hope that she would take it, and she did.
Ice reached out and took his long hand in both of hers and pressed it to the side of her face, leaning into it as she did, "I'm real sweet, touch me, feel me, what you feel is real, don't be afraid of it, of me, trust me and let me show you a joy you've never known but always hoped for," she said softly, reveling in the warmth of his hand on her face, the feel of his hide against her skin.
Liquid hissed softly and he lowered his domed head and very, very gently nuzzled the side of her head, "I see you, I feel you, both inside and outside, I want this, I want you, Ice, you are the most beautiful creature I have ever seen, I don't know how or why you see me as beautiful but it both scares me and excites me, but I don't want to fight it because I know in my heart that if I allow this to happen that something beautiful will come of it, so here I am, right here, right now, a flawed being asking you to accept me as I am, if you truly want me then I offer you myself as I am, all that I am, please, treat me gently," he said softly, and Ice's heart swelled in her chest, no one had said such beautiful words to her, no human spoke or thought like this, this is what she had been missing her entire life, someone who would go all out for her, someone she could give her entirety to and not be afraid of either rejection or betrayal, well, here he was, and he was reaching out his hand and hoping beyond hope that she would take it.
"I've never wanted someone so badly in my life as I want you right now, Liquid, I never in my life thought I would fall for a member of another species, but you, you are so incredibly beautiful to me, so I accept you, Liquid, let's take this step together, ok? Without fear," she said, reaching up and stroking his head before bringing his face down to hers and planting a trail of soft, gentle kisses on his hide 'till she reached his mouth and she pushed her tongue between his lips and into his mouth, instantly her body was flooded with want and with passion, she needed this so badly, normally this sort of thing would be a third date kinda thing, but not this time, not with him, this was right, this was pure, and so was he.
She took his hand and led him to her bedroom, he walked with her hand in hand until they were right next to her bed, she could feel his heartbeat pulsing through his hand and when they reached the bed she let go and turned to face him, "Don't worry, my sweet tail, you don't have to be frightened, ok? I'm going to treat you just right, I'm going to show you what human love is and why everyone wants it, ok?" she said, softly stroking his face and he nodded, letting her cup his face in her hands.
She kissed him again, slowly and tenderly, before slowly, slowly trailing her hands over his broad shoulders and down onto his chest, she slowly and sensually began to remove his clothing, first his lab coat came off, followed by his shirt, this exposed his broad black chest to her and she began to run her hands slowly over his incredibly soft hide, oh, how she loved the way he shivered at her touch, how his hide prickled with goose flesh whereever her fingers trailed and her lips kissed, he gasped and hissed softly, "Does that feel good, sweet one?" she asked in between kisses.
"It feels wonderful! Oh, it feels wonderful! How does something so simple feel so good?" he gasped, and her heart began to leap for joy.
"Oh, trust me, this is just the beginning, sweet thing, it's only going to get better, so much better," she purred softly, moving lower on his body, moving her hands and her lips lower until she reached his waist and gently began to undo his belt before pulling his pants down his legs to reveal him in all his glory and, oh, how utterly glorious he was.
His manhood was like nothing she had ever seen in her life, it was protected by a sheathe in between his legs, Ice looked him up and down and a smile of purest joy lit her face, "You're an angel, a beautiful angel, and you're all mine," she gasped, looking up at him and the big Xeno smiled nervously.
"R-Really?" he asked, and she stood up and circled behind him, sliding her hands around his slender waist, fanning them out across his belly and nestling herself in between his dorsal spines, feeling his heartbeat against her chest even through her clothes, that's how powerful it was, how fast and how strongly it was beating, she slid her hand slowly down his belly and over his abdomen until it slipped between his long slim powerful thighs and found his most sacred treasure, she very, very tenderly cupped it in her hand.
Feeling the weight and the warmth filling her hand and she felt Liquid tense slightly as she cradled him tenderly, "Trust me," she said softly, and she felt him instantly relax in her grasp, she slid her hand a little lower and lifted his balls, feeling the smoothness of his sack and the beauty of him, she very gently began to caress him, squeezing and playing gently, listening to him hiss and squeak softly as little spikes of pleasure flickered through him, suddenly she felt it, his manhood began to snake its way out of its protective sheathe and into her waiting hand, like a timid snake that was choosing to trust the human who owned it.
It felt like nothing she had ever felt in her life, it had a slender shaft that was covered in what felt like little inverted ridges, like small groves cut into it facing backwards towards his body, the were rounded and stuck out from his shaft like notches cut into it, he gasped very gently as she began to pump her hand over it and he gasped and hissed, "Does that feel good, sweet heart?" she asked, and his head bobbed back and forth like his neck had suddenly just become a bobble head spring.
Ice trailed kisses around his flank as she moved around him, when she was stood in front of him again and she looked up at him, "Your turn to see me now, sweet tail, go on, you know you want to," she purred at him, she saw the look of desire pass over his beautiful face and his hand reached out to take hold of her, so powerful and so incredibly tender all at once, he could have ripped her in half without even trying but he was just so tender, every movement so precise and calculated to ensure things like his claws didn't prick her as he slowly revolved her clothes layer by layer until she stood before him as naked as he was.
"Oh, wow! I've never seen anything as beautiful as you are," he said in a hushed voice, and a smile cracked her face, it was time to show off for her man.
"You like what you see, huh, sugar tail?' she said, raising her arms high above her head and turning on the spot before bending double and giving him a very good view of her junk filled trunk and her goodies, he gasped as he saw all of her and nodded in that bobble headed way of his and that made her smile again.
"Well, it's all for you, sugar tail, that is if all this Xeno goodness I see before me is all for me," she purred, stepping forward and placing both her hands on his chest.
"All for you and only you," he gasped softly.
"Now that's what I wanna hear, well, then, I think that it's time for your medical, and the doctor is in the house, I think I'd better give you a very, very thorough examination," she said, guiding him over to her bed and getting him to lie down, she moved onto the bed next to him and leaned over him, this big powerful Xeno utterly captivated by her, utterly under her spell and her control, it was intoxicating yes but it wasn't control over him that she sought, it was his trust, she wanted him to see that, no matter what, he could trust her never to hurt him, or to betray him, that she would only give him good things, so she could reap the bounty of beauty that he laid out for her right now.
She leaned in and gave him a very possessive kiss on the mouth before trailing soft but aggressive kisses down his body right up until she came face to face with his pulsing maleness, "Ohh, I think I've found the cause of the problem, intense swelling in the penis, hmmm, my diagnosis is that you have acute lack of femaleitus, there is only one treatment known to work for this, a healthy dose of Ice needs to be applied vigorously to the swollen area until the swelling recedes, first we need to suck out the poison afflicting you," she said, and, with that, she lowered her head and began to run her tongue all over his swollen, succulent balls, making him gasp and writhe gently, before running her tongue up and over his long shaft, exploring each and every one of those delightful ridges.
She utterly adored the way he twitched and gasped as she explored each and every inch of his sensitive anatomy, it took all of her strength not to pounce on him and to impale herself on him right there and then, such was the intensity of the want of him that she felt.
She ran her tongue up and over the tip, reveling in the sweet and salty taste of him as she took as much of his length into her mouth as she could and as she felt it touch the back of her throat she began to suck powerfully on it, moving her head and listening to him screech and moan and hiss as he writhed in pleasure under her, her big boy was in heaven and she loved it, utterly loved being the cause of his pleasure, oh, she was going to bathe this beautiful innocent male in all the joy his big heart could handle and when it was all done she was going to cuddle him to death all night.
She loved the way his sensitive ridges made a soft popping sound as they exited her mouth before she pushed them back in feeling them bump along her lips as she did, he lasted a surprising amount of time considering this was his very first time, but when he could take any more oh boy did he let loose, she felt his hands grip her head and entwine his long figers in her hair, jet after jet of his thick salty seed hit the back of her throat coating her entire mouth with it, she had never swallowed a man's seed before, not once, she'd always always spat it out, but with him she didn't even hesitate, she swallowed every drop like it was amber nectar, the essence of the man she loved, she wanted it to be a part of her, to fuel her love of him.
His manhood made a soft pop as it exited her mouth and she trailed kisses up his beautiful body until she found herself looking right into his heavenly face and she planted her final kiss right on his mouth, but this time he didn't hesitate, his tongue shot out and right into her mouth, his inner mouth swallowing her tongue whole and sucking on it, the pair locked into a tight embrace.
"That was the most incredible thing I have ever felt in my life, please, please, let me return this pleasure to you," he said into her mind, and she gently stroked his face with both of her hands.
"Not this time, my sweet Xeno boy, this time it's all about you, this time its all for you because this is your first time, so I'm going to make it all about you, my sweet, sweet Xeno, so you just lie back and enjoy this, ok? Now, come on, it's time to apply a healthy dose of Ice to this swelling which seems to have not gone down, doctor's orders," she said with a grin, and the young Xeno relented and just let her have her oh so wicked way with him.
To her surprise and delight, it looked like Xeno refractory periods were either non existent or much shorter than human ones, because his manhood didn't retreat back into his sheathe after her vigorous sucking of it, it remained full of blood and ready for action, she could feel it pulsing in time with his powerful heartbeat in his chest, she lifted her leg over him and straddled his waist, smiling down at him as she rested her weight on his abdomen and her hands on his belly, "Are you ready for this, my sugar tail? Ready to take your first step into manhood?" she asked, and he nodded, smiling at her.
She felt so utterly privileged to be the one holding his hand as he took this step, to be the one who claimed his most sacred of treasures, she would hold it for the rest of her life and she would love it as she loved him, the joy of being someones first and hopefully last, she lifted herself up into the air, almost having to stand to get his alien organ lined up with herself, she felt it brush her inner lips as she stroked it back and forth until she found her entrance, then, with one swift, slick motion, she dropped onto him, impaling herself on him.
Ice had never felt so full in her life, his manhood wasn't as wide as a human one, but it was longer and, oh god, those ridges touched and stroked things that no human one ever had, it felt utterly incredible, flooding her mind, her body and her entire soul with pleasure so intense that it filled her mind with fog and love.
She'd counted nine sets of them, that meant on one complete stroke from tip to hilt his incredible organ caressed her G-Spot 18 fucking times and it drove her crazy in the first three seconds of it, it was like nothing she had ever felt, in fact, to her utter surprise, she had her first orgasm of this wonderful encounter in just three strokes, clenching down on him hard and screaming his name in ecstacy.
But Ice's pace never slowed, not even for a second, she kept going, it was like her hips took on a mind and momentum of their own, every stroke was utter bliss, she couldn't help but watch him writhing and hissing and screeching in pleasure, twisting and writhing under her as she had to push her weight down on him to keep him still enough to ride properly, it was like half love making, half interspecies wrestling match, and that just made it even better because she felt like every time she completed a successful stroke she'd won something, by the time he'd built up enough pressure that his manhood turned into a rod of pure iron inside her moments before it exploded she'd had six full blown orgasms and her legs were made entirely of a jelly rubber mixture that if they weren't rebounding like coiled springs she'd have utterly no control over.
When the final one came it was the most powerful one of the whole bunch, probably because it was perfectly timed to coincide with his own powerful release, filling her insides utterly to the brim with pure liquid heat and joy and they screamed each others names to the heavens in perfect unison before she collapsed and he caught her, bringing her limp form into his arms and utterly cocooning her in himself like a living sleeping bag, all the while she was still impaled on him.
Eventually she managed to gain enough strength to lift her head, they were both panting hard and when she lifted her head he immediately kissed her deeply and passionately, "Thank you, Ice, thank you so very, very much for picking me," he said softly with a voice so filled with happiness and joy that it made her tear up.
"Don't thank me, my sweet one, thank the universe for putting you in my path and making me realise that it wasn't a human heart I was after after all," she said, and he smiled and kissed her, once again drawing her into a the warmest, deepest, and most beautiful hug of her life, still joined as one to the man she loved, a gentle Xeno boy all for her, in fact, so connected to him was she right at that moment that she felt the exact moment when the change in him began, like a clap of thunder in her heart and her mind, it signaled that her male had found his one true love and would now show the universe that he had by turning that love into a form so beautiful that it would utterly rock her world when it would be revealed, not that his form didn't already, but when the words left his mind it shook her to her very core.
"I found my true love on my first try, Ice, you've claimed my heart for life and I'm going to change for you, to protect you and guard you, you will be my hive and I will be your Praetorian, always at your side, guarding, protecting and loving you every day from this day forward, and I feel it in my heart that I'm not the only one of my hive to find this purest of loves, another lays claimed and ready to take that step too, please don't change how you feel about me," he said.
She kissed him deeply again, "Nothing could ever change how I feel about you, my sweet Xeno, I don't care what you look like, you're my Liquid love, and you always will be," she said, and he nuzzled her deeply.
"Thank you, by this time tomorrow you will have your very own Praetorian," he sai,d and Ice's heart leapt in her chest, she had a hive now, a family, that made her so incredibly happy that she simply didn't have words powerful enough to express it, she'd never had something worth fighting for other than the Spirit next to her before, now she had her Liquid lover and she would die for him in a heartbeat, from now 'till she drew her last breath.
