The Long Game

A.N: Forewarning, there is a lemon in this chapter. If they aren't your thing you can skip to *End Lemon* to continue on. Sorry in advance if the scene is cringe, I've never written one.

P.O.V Change: Ryan

The sun has risen over the horizon, I hold Yaz as she lets all her emotions out in a much needed release. Kenji and Brooklynn were standing not far from us and Sammy was sitting next to Yaz. Yaz stands up as she looks out to the horizon. Sammy stands up with her and lays a comforting hand on her shoulder. "We'll make it home, Yaz." Sammy says which Yaz just gives a tired sigh. "Say it enough times and it's gotta be true, right?" Yaz says. I walk up to her. "Because it is. Whatever it takes." I say which she smiles gratefully at me. We begin walking back up to the airlock, catching up with Kenji and Brooklynn on the way.

The airlock opens as Mae, Ben and Darius run out to us. "The plane left without you." Mae says. No shit. "I'm so sorry. I don't understand what is going on here, but I promise with every fibre of my being to get you back home." Mae says determinedly. "No, we're not leaving." Darius says which I narrow my eyes. "Who the fuck are you to say that?" I say with gritted teeth. Darius looks at me as does everyone else. "I know what your going to say. That we have to stay to help the dinosaurs well...fuck that!" I shout at as everyone backs away. Darius looks at me, scared. "You don't get to decide what we do. We don't belong here. We have families, people that think we are dead and you want us to stay here where death is just one mistake away. I want to go home, Darius. I am done risking my life for problems that are not my own." I say angrily. Yaz's PTSD, the nightmares that everyone is having, the time we have spent away from our families and the constant risk of death has made me realise that we shouldn't keep risking our lives for this. "I thought that you cared about dinosaurs." Darius says to me which I narrow my eyes and grab him by his shirt and push him against the wall. "Ryan, what are you doing?" "Let him go!" Brooklynn and Ben scream to me but I ignore them. "Listen here, you little shit! I care more about us living than dinosaurs. Yaz is suffering and you don't even care. All you care about are dinosaurs and not what we think!" I scream at him. "You just decided on a whim that we would stay, you didn't stop to ask what we all felt. You are a selfish and cruel human being, Darius." I say to him as tears start to well in his eyes. "Ryan." Yaz calls out to me as I see her in the corner of my eye. "Let him go." She says softly to me as she holds my arm softly, I slowly release Darius from my grip.

"We'll stay. We don't have any other choice." Yaz says to me, pointing out to me that the plane is gone and we are still stuck. May as help where we can. "Fine." I say as I walk away from Darius who wipes his tears away. "Right. Now that that is sorted. We have to get Pierce back to the desert biome and since the plane is gone, that means the food has been unloaded and sent." Mae says as she heads to the airlock. "We'll go check the T-Rex area to make sure that the BRADs haven't tampered with the food." Brooklynn says was myself and Yaz walk up to the door. "Sammy, go with them." I say to Sammy who nods. I look down at Yaz and see that she has heavy bags under her eyes. "You guys sort out that food and Pierce's situation. I take Yaz back to the cave where she can get her rest." I say which Yaz smiles gratefully as she clasps my hand. "Sure." "You guys go ahead, we got this." Brooklynn and Ben say. "Once you guys are done. We'll meet back at Mae's to...discuss how to get home." Yaz says as she looks between myself and Darius. As the others walk away, Yaz turns to me and whispers. "Thank you." She says in which I nod.

We arrive back at the cave and Yaz heads to the bedroom. I walk to the kitchen and pour two glasses of water. I enter the room and see Yaz struggling to sleep. I place a glass next to her on the bedside before walking around to my own. "I think I might have forgotten how to fall asleep." She says as I sit down and lay beside her. "Sleep is hard, especially with trauma. Your mind is constantly reminding you of said trauma. My dad told once that sleeping is worse than staying awake sometimes." I say to her which she just grunts. "How did he overcome it?" She asks. "He remembered the good times rather than the bad. Mom helped him, kept his mind occupied. Boredom can really fuck with you, so she just gave him something to do. Work, hanging out with friends and...other things." I say that last part awkwardly. Yaz laughs as she understands the meaning. Yaz rolls onto her side and groans in pain. "You ok?" I ask as I lean over her. "It's just my shoulder, I hurt somewhere, don't know how but I did." She says as I get up and wake to the kitchen. "I'll be right back."

I enter the kitchen and find a first aid kit and a bag of ice. I walk back to find Yaz massaging her shoulder. She sits at the end of the bed as she looks up. "Can I have a quick look?" I ask as she nods. I kneel down in front of her and gesture to her zipper. "Oh, sorry." She says awkwardly as I smile. She pulls the zipper down and throws off the jacket off her sore shoulder. I look and find a purple bruise. I try and not have a peek but I see Yaz's smug smile as she catches me. "It's a bad bruise but nothing that some painkiller, ice and muscle relaxer paste won't fix." I say as she chuckles as I shake my head at her smug look. I rub down paste on the bruise as Yaz groans in discomfort. "Sorry." I say as I lightly press the ice bag onto the bruise. "It's ok." She says.

I take the ice bag off and offer the painkiller to her as she downs in before taking a drink. "Should be alright now." I say as she smiles. Her smile drops as she thinks about something. "Why did you have a go at Darius?" She asks which I sigh at. "He knows that we don't belong here and that we want to go home. I know that helping dinosaurs is good thing and the right thing to do but...I hated seeing you suffering because of what's happened. You don't deserve that, none of us do. Darius said that we would stay l, without consulting with us and that pissed me off." I say with slight disdain in my voice. While I'm still mad at Darius, I understand that he wants to do the right thing but he didn't ask what we wanted and that is selfish of him to assume that we would agree at the snap of finger. I look up to Yaz who is staring at me softly, her hands reach up and hold my lower cheeks and neck. "Thank you. While I agree with what you said but Darius didn't deserve that kind of anger." She says as strokes my scars. "I know...I shouldn't have done that." I say sadly.

"You're trying to look out for us...for me. I really appreciate that...I appreciate you. I don't know what I would do without you." She says as she leans her forehead on mine. "Me either." I reply as we look into each other eyes. Emotions and feelings are displayed through our eyes to each other. I lean up and kiss her as she returns the kiss.

*Begin Lemon*

I reach for her hips before lifting her up and pulling myself onto the bed. I place her down as I move down her neck, leaving little love bites in my wake. She moans in pleasure when I reach up and kiss her again. Her hands pull my shirt up and throws the clothing over my head. I look down at her as she brushes her hands over my scars. I lean back down and kiss her neck again as I reach for zipper. I kiss the skin that is showing just through the clothing. "Oh, Ryan " she moans and rests her head back against the pillows. I position myself between her legs, caressing her thigh. She places it against my hip as I unbuckle her zipper.

Yaz pulls her jacket off and throws it away. I look down at her fit form and full bust. "Beautiful." I whisper and she laughs in response. "Not too bad yourself." She says huskily to me as I lean down and begin kissing her chest and naval. Her skin is soft but has the feeling of being harden by hours of working out and surviving a dinosaur infested island. "Ryan...ah." Yaz moans, I move further down her naval. I look up to her eyes when I grasp her pants, she nods as I pull the lower clothing down and throw it to the growing clothes pile. I lean down and lay love bites on the inside of her thighs, she moans loudly, gripping my hair in the process.

"Stop teasing, fucker." She moans out as I laugh. I move the piece of fabric out of the way and gaze at her nethers. I inhale the scent of honeyed vanilla. I drag my tongue across her lips, Yaz moans to the high heavens as she grips the bed sheet. "Oh yes! Right there!" She screams out in pleasure. She tastes like a never ending buffet, so good that you don't want to leave. One of her legs crossed over my back as her heel dragging across my scar. Her hands are gripping my hair, her back arching in pleasure. "Mae's going to pissed if she founds out about this." I say cheekily. "Shut up, ooh, not funny." She says, moaning. I found the little ball under her lips and gently caress it with my tongue. "Oh God! Aaaah." She moans loudly as she comes down from her high. I pull away when she relaxes back down on the sheets. She is breathing very heavily, her chest is raising very high as I crawl up to her face. "Is it pleasurable for you, my lady?" I say cheekily as she slaps my chest.

She smiles evilly up to me as she grips my shoulders and rolls me over. I look up in surprise when she straddles me. She reaches back and unhooks her bra. "You still have too many clothes on." She says as throws the bra away, releasing her bust. I look up, memorised by the sight. I'm hesitant to reach up. "You can touch them you know?" She teases to me. "I do know that." I reply back snarky as she smiles. She grips my hands and places them on her boobs. I grip them firmly as she moans in pleasure. She reaches down and unbuckled my pants and pulls them off. She crawls back up, straddling me again, I sit up and pull her close. My hands are resting on her hips. She pushes my underwear down as I kick it away. She stares at my cock before looking back at me. I blush in embarrassment. "What's wrong?" She asks teasingly. "Nothing." I mumble back. She roughly grips it as I grunt in both pain and pleasure. "This." She says as she jerks me off. Feels so good. "Is mine." She says huskily as she bushes her lower lips against my cock. She moans while I groan in pleasure at the contact. "If you don't want too, we don't need to." I say to her but she just smiles and shakes her head.

"I want this...I want you." She says. Her wet lips coating my cock as she prepares herself. I hold her close as she lowers herself. My penis enters her, she groans in discomfort and slight pleasure. I groan at the new sensation, her walls are clamping around me, it feels like a fitted glove, tight but not strangling. I reach her barrier as she takes a breather. We look at each other and lean our foreheads against each other. "Ready?" I ask her as she nods. I grip her hips as I help her down, I push through her barrier, she groans in pain as she gets used to the new sensation. "Are you ok?" I ask her. "Yes...I'm ok." She says as she starts rotating her hips. She moans quietly while I groan. I kiss the base of the her neck as I slowly thrust up into her. "Aaaah." She moans as she throws her head back, exposing her neck. I trail deep kisses against any piece of skin I can find. I reach my hand up and grope her right breast, adding to her pleasure.

She lifts her herself up and comes back down, moaning loudly. "Uhh." I groan as I thurst up harder. "You feel so good." She whispers into my ear as she bites on my earlobe. Her hands begin tracing my scars on my back just as my hands are familiarising every inch of her body. I roll her over so I'm on top. She wraps her legs around as I thurst harder into her. "Ahh, ahh, harder." She whispers while moaning. I grip her leg roughly, I go faster and harder. My other hand reaches up to the headboard as I grunt in pleasure. Yaz's hands grip both the bed sheet and my left foreman. I gaze into her eyes as she states up at me. "I'm gonna cum." I whisper into her ear. "Not in, please." She whispers back into me which I nod. I grunt louder as I thurst faster, her moans turn into a silent scream as I pull out. The white stream goes across the bed when I lay next to her. Both of us breathing heavily.

*End Lemon*

Yaz positions half of her body onto to me as she pulls the bedsheet over our bodies. She spoons close to me as I wrap my arm around her body. Her head is craddled into the crook of my neck as her arm is resting on my chest, her fingers tracing my scars. "So...good?" I say awakardly. Like, what do you say after first time sex. She laughs at me. "Amazing." She says to me as she looks up at me. She leans in and kisses me, I return it as she rolls over. I pull her close to my chest as I spoon her from behind. I kiss her neck and bush my hand over her skin. "Sleep well." I whisper into her ear as she smiles and closes her eyes. I follow her example and close my own. My dreams are only images of her.

I'm sleeping soundly until I hear a clanking sound. I wake up and look towards the corridor. "Search everything." I hear an unknown male voice call out from the living room. "Yaz, wake up." I say as I shake Yaz awake. "What? Want round 2?" She says teasingly. If there wasn't someone here than yeah. "Someones in here and it's not someone we know." I say as Yaz wakes up and sits up, pulling the sheet over her chest. I look to find a closet, not far from the bookshelf. "Get your clothes and get into he closet." I say as she gets up and gathers her clothes and machete. I get up and pick up my own clothes and axe. We get on the closet, which is just big enough of the both of us.

The hear the BRAD enter the bedroom and walks around. We see the green light pass through the room but doesn't reach us in the closet. "Anything in here?" The male voice calls out. "Bodily fluids found on the bed. No new documents have been located." The BRAD says as myself and Yaz blush in embarrassment. "I want the new documents! Not what the doctor gets up to in her spare time!" The guy shouts out as I hear footsteps. I peer through the gap in the closet and see the BRAD and the foot of the man walking out of the room.

I open the closet as we get out. We dress as quickly and quietly as we can. I holester my axe as Yaz straps her machete on her shoulder. We walk quietly down the corridor, hugging the rock wall. I lean over the corner, behind the water bottle to see a man with some horrible tattoos, blue shirt and a...terrible afro hair. "Well, well, well...I found it, let's go!" He shouts out to the BRAD. I notice that he has a small notebook that I recognise as the book that Mae would use to write small notes of her research in. Who the fuck is this guy to waltz in and take Mae's stuff. I see him walk out of the cave with the BRAD in tow. "Who was that?" Yaz asks which I just shake my head at. "I don't know but we need to tell the others, especially Mae." I say which Yaz nods to. We make our way out of the cave and head to the airlock. We need to get to the desert biome.

We come out and see the others with Pierce. I notice that the others are trying to keep Sammy from going somewhere and Mae is no where to be seen. "Hey! What's going on?" I shout out as we stop. "Oh Ryan, thank god you're here. Can you talk some sense into Sammy, please?" Kenji asks me, I look at Sammy who is scowling. "What's going on?" I ask. "What's going on is the man that blackmailed my family is Mae's boss and I going to go confront him and get some answers and they are keeping me from doing that." Sammy says with frustration. "Does this man have bad afro hair and worse tattoos?" I ask which Sammy looks back at me, confused. "What does that have to do with anything?" She asks. "Because we saw something with that description in the Mae's cave, he took Mae's notebook." Yaz says. Sammys eyes widen as she walks away. I notice that Darius and Brooklynn and trying to calm Pierce down.

Yaz runs in front of Sammy. "I know that you're mad but shouldn't we wait and-." Yaz goes to say but Sammy interrupts her. "All we do is wait! And I'm sick of it. She walks past Yaz as she continues on her way to the airlock. "I thought you were my friends." She says as Darius runs in front of her, cutting her off. "You can't." He says but Sammy is in no mood. "You don't get to decide what I do." She says. Pierce crys out as Brooklynn, Kenji and Ben try to calm him. Darius has Mae's tablet as he presses a button for 'safe', translating the safe to a dino sound. Impressive but still Pierce doesn't heed it and it's starting to get on my nerves. I walk up to Pierce. "Quiet!" I scream in his face as he quietens. He hangs his head as I nod. "Hey, guys. Where's Sammy?" Ben asks as we all turn and found that she's gone. That bull headed, stubborn lady.

We come out of the airlock into the jungle biome. Kenji said that Mae's boss, Kash stupid name, was supposed to be in here so Sammy should be in here as well. We turn a corner and I see Yaz tackle Sammy to the ground. Brooklynn gestures us to come over to her as we all crowd and see through the shrubbery. Two yellow raptors were standing there while 4 drones were hovering in front of them. "Invisible barriers...we utilised similar technology back on Nublar with the Pachy's." I whisper to the group. I see that Mar has changed her clothes, wearing a black shirt and pants with a red jacket. She seems to be arguing with Kash l, probably about what is happening on the island. I see that the two BRADs eyes turn that sinister red. "He wouldn't?" Brooklynn asks which I shake my head at. "He would."

Mae runs off into the jungle as the BRADs chase after her, shooting their shockers at her. I run to intercept the machines and everyone follows after me. I move through the foliage as I take my axe out. Kenji and Brooklynn pick up some rocks and throw them at a BRAD that was ready to fire. "Wassup!" Brooklynn says as Kenji throws another one. The BRAD shoots them but misses. I hide as Sammy pulls Mae behind a rock. The other BRAD distracted by Kenji and Brooklynn scans the ground, looking for Mae. I see Yaz in a bush not far from me, I signal to her to attack the BRAD. She puts a thumbs up before unsheathing her machete. She runs and swings to the neck of the machine, cutting through its wiring and lodging the blade between two metal pieces. I run out and drive the axe through the metal roof plating of the robots head. The eyes glimmer before going dead.

"Nice." I say as I pull out my axe and Yaz pulls out her machete. "Very." She says smiling as we clang our weapons together. We catch up to the others. The other BRAD has its head missing as we run to the airlock. I see Mae and Sammy hiding behind a tree as a third BRAD is scanning. I see that Mae is charging forward with a stick to strike the robot but I notice one of the yellow raptors pouncing on the robot. It's feathered skull and forearms are telltale signs of a male. Something I didn't notice from before. Mae backs away fearfully from the predator. I run forward as Mae falls to the ground, the raptor is pulling her towards itself. The raptor pulls her up by the shoulder and throws her towards me, ripping her red jacket off. I catch Mae as I place he against the tree, inspecting her wound, a medium bite mark on her shoulder. The raptor comes forward as Sammy holds the same stick as Mae.

A shriek alerts me to the other raptor, another male coming up to the group. I have my axe out, Yaz has her machete and Sammy with the stick. A raptor lunges at me but moves to dodge as I swing the axe. Yaz swings the machete and cuts the eye of the other raptor who cries on pain. I see Sammy run tot he disabled BRAD. The raptor with the scar charges after Sammy who grabs the BRAD head and fires a shocker at the raptor which surprisingly doesn't burn through it. The robot fires more shockers at the raptors who back away. "Let's go!" Yaz shouts out as I lift Mae in a firearm carry before running to the airlock. But others BRADs are coming and we divert away before they spot us.

Later, we had found a small cave to hide out from. Kenji looks out to see if we're safe. He gives the thumbs up. "Ben's keeping a further look out. We'll be safe. For now." Kenji says as he sits down next to Darius and Yaz. I'm inspexti g Mae would in greater detail, with Brooklynns help, we're cleaning the wounds and making sure that infection doesn't sit in. Brooklynn had utilised large ferns to use a bandages for the wound. I get up, leaving Brooklynn to look after Mae as I walk over to the rest of the group. "If you guys hadn't stopped me...I could have gotten Mae killed. Heck, even all of you!" Sammy says. She hangs her head in shame. "I'm, I'm sorry." I kneel down beside her. "You going to confront Kash wasn't about do a brave thing but it was whether it was a smart thing to do." I say to her, which she just nods in acceptance of what she did wrong.

"Ryan's right but if you didn't run off, we might not have been able to save Mae." Yaz says as she hugs Sammy. I nod in agreement of that. It was a stupid thing to do but we saved Mae as well so...meh. "Then to get the answers we want, we have to play the long game." Sammy says determinedly. "Than that's what we're going to do." Darius says as he walks over and places a comforting hand on Sammy's knee. I look at and he looks back. I nod in agreement and he smiles. Time to finally get some answers.
