* TRIGGER WARNING/NSFW: SEXUAL FORCE AND RAPE

|37|


Kolyat helped the women alight from the tram-skim and head towards the shining path on which small lights glowed to illuminate the wet walkway towards a majestic hall of an entrance, the coniulde a welcoming ribbed sight…Wrex looked at Kolyat's hesitancy in offering him help down and quickly stepped out of his way. The tram-skim was hovering near a group of others suspended by a counter-oppositional power from the paths these had followed in, and one spot was empty, where Casnar's tram-skim should have soon to pull into alongside their own. Tetonbaum counted out the bantons as these ones followed Wrex and Kasumi, who was doing her best to ignore the th'ane, despite his caught glances that a master thief now found herself more than believably willing to count…And so it was that Kasumi and Tetonbaum began their little games with each other.

"Tetonbaum," Kolyat came over once Braith and the rest had gone below the stone pendant projecting from the archway of the coniulde, "…Will you be waiting out here for Uncle Casnar?"

"I know we left him with four burrells…." Tetonbaum said confidingly to him, "…But I would like to make sure they are getting on as they should be," he pulled his hood over his wavy crests and nodded to Kolyat, "…That one, Wrex, he is good zhienne for us…Keep him with the bantons since they are looking to him as an alpha…As for yourself, keep with Miss Lawson….She owes me," he winked at Kolyat's puzzled expression and set off towards a smaller vessel that looked like a catboat without a sail, and climbing into this, the vehicle activated and hovered off with a low whir through the damp air.


Casnar held up his hands while Catherine undid his pants and removed her own, the tram-skim emptied of Sieis, the burrells, and the other bantons. "Cat….Please, what are you doing….No, I'm—" she freed his erection from the pants and cloak and grabbed onto it with a powerful grip that made him shudder—not at the feeling of pleasure, but at the feeling of nothing, "…What have you done to me…"

"Ssh," she quieted him with a finger against his lips as he stared up at her blue eyes with his wide green ones, "…You won't feel a thing, Casnar….I'm just going to take a few seconds here to get what I need from you and then we'll be off….You'll take care of the bantons I leave in your care now, won't you?"

"I can't feel anything…" She rose up and kicked her pants aside, "…You're…"

"Yes, now that we've some privacy, we can entertain a little release, can't we…" Without warming up, she lowered onto him and sighed with delight, Casnar staring at the woman taking him on the floor of the tram-skim—his body could only make small twitches and waves in a fetal manner as she rose up on his waist astraddle and sank down on him again, the clip of her pace picking up as she sighed with each quickening rise and fall…

"Catherine…..Stop…" Pushing his hands forward, they may have been trying to force their way through mud, the numbness, the futility maddening, "….Stop….Please…."

"I'm almost there," she breathed out lightly, her voice a husk as she grabbed his waist and picked her hips up, "….Almost…"

Casnar couldn't feel the pleasure she was obviously experiencing, but he did feel something inside him spill and he groaned from realizing he was climaxing and giving her his seed….He lay back his head as a strange sensation seeped into his mind, "….Help me…Braith…"

"You'll see her soon," Catherine smiled and patted his patak, "…Don't worry…And thank you for getting us free of Lothiraxl…Assembly appreciates your contribution to the mission…" And rolling her hips hard on him, she finished with an ecstatic gasp, then cupping something underneath her waist, she dismounted him and pulled up his pants, fetched her own to pull on, and stopped at her hardpack to tinker with the contents, "…Perfect….This is enough."

"What…" His head spun with the mix of toxin in him from the fungus she had applied on his nose and the combination of the black powder rubbed into his skin…Numbness, no strength, dizziness, and the sound of her pulling up her pack and running down the length of the tram-skim out into the rain….And the sound of rain falling, hitting the roof of the vessel….The silence….Drumming silence after the patter of many feet taking off into the storm that night…

Braith….

Casnar fell into sleep—which was only more nightmare of Catherine having raped him.


The light skim slowed to a stop and Tetonbaum hopped out over the side, running low over the tarmac in the pour of rain coating and falling easily off his cloak….He stopped at the first body of his burrell he'd left with Casnar and the bantons, no sign of the woman or anyone but the tram-skim paused in mid-air….

"What has happened here," he said angrily, turning to each body and checking for life….The manner of the burrells was that these were crushed through their necks and jaws, beaten or broken by the hands and no weapons—their guns and sabers had not even been drawn…Tetonbaum stood and searched the rain and darkness, but though there was no one there to catch his fury, there were fierce mudmarks off to the northwest, stirred by heavy, fleet feet just at the edge of lighting from the tarmac….And the rain would soon smooth those out….Opportunists, he thought and started towards the path of the fleers, but pausing, he turned towards the tram-skim….

"Brother," Tetonbaum saw the body at the end of the tram-skim's interior, just below the console of the paired guiders, and went cautiously towards the supine form in case there were booby traps…He feared the worst, thinking of the burrells destroyed outside and crushed by the bantons' hands…

Casnar twinged at being touched by Tetonbaum's cloak falling over him, he moaned, "….Stop….Please….Stop, Catherine…"

"She did this to you," Tetonbaum asked, cradling his half-brother's head under his blue-veined forearm, "….She did this to you…." He could smell strange pheromones, his brother's seed, and the horrific odor of sex in the dampness of the air….The foreign smell as well of something that made his inner nose twitch at what toxin it could be, "….I'll get you home, brother…." Lifting Casnar's heavy frame off the floor, Tetonbaum checked his eyes and his breathing, scooped him under his legs and set the tram-skim into motion.
