Just a heads up, there's some slight sexual tension in this chapter.
Thunderhoof went back to Metalsound while Strongarm followed Steeljaw. She glanced at their servos when they came to a stop, "Is everything alright Steeljaw?"
Steeljaw turns and looks at her, he pushes her up against a tree then leans in with one arm resting against the tree, but still holding her servo, "Are you alright? Did Soundwave hurt you?"
"I'm fine, other than getting shocked, but I'm ok. I'm not sure about the lieutenant though. Metalsound bit and zapped him."
"I don't care about him, only you. I'm glad you're alright. But what are we gonna do? Metalsound can't return to the scrapyard, we need to find a different way to set our meetings."
"I can take on more patrols and we can meet. I was serious about someone keeping an optic on her. It's only been a few hours and she managed to hurt herself to where she isn't- What is that?" She asked as she pointed to Laserbeak.
"That's Laserbeak, he's part of Soundwave."
"Shouldn't we be worried that Soundwave could be watching us? Wait, Soundwave's still here?!"
"No just Laserbeak, Soundwave's on the island trying to contact Megatron. Don't worry about it," but Strongarm was worried. She pushed Steeljaw back and tried to leave but Steeljaw kept a firm hold on her servo, "Please, don't go."
"Steeljaw, if I stay too long the lieutenant's going to be looking for me. I can come back tomorrow," she promised.
Steeljaw pulled her into an embrace and pushed her against the tree again, "I don't care, stay," he whispers in her audio receptor.
Something in his voice made her spark skip, she wrapped her arms around his waist as she rested her helm on his chest, "Ok, but just for a while."
"Thank you," Steeljaw says as he started kissing her on her neck.
Strongarm shivered at the sudden kiss, she leaned her helm to the side, giving him more room, "S-Steeljaw?"
"Hmm?"
"I-I've never done this before."
Steeljaw looks at her, "Neither have I, it's the first time for both of us."
"You've never done this before? But how do you know what to do?"
"Animal instincts."
"Ok?"
"What?"
"Nothing, I'm just overthinking things. Just lead the way."
"Really Strongarm, I know from animal instincts and watching certain videos about it."
Strongarm blushed when he mentioned 'certain videos', "Just shut up," she mumbled as she moved her servo behind his ear. Steeljaw chuckled as he started kissing down her neck again.
Moaning softly she scratched him behind his ear which made Steeljaw groan, "You sure know how to get me in the right spot."
"I'm just doing what I've seen when humans interact with their pets."
Steeljaw chuckled, "Normally I don't like it when a bot touches my ears, but I love it when you do. Keep going."
She keeps scratching behind his ear as she starts rubbing his stomach. That drove Steeljaw crazy causing him to grab her and throw her onto the ground and get on top of her. Strongarm looks up at him in shock from the sudden roughness, she has to admit that it's kind of turning her on.
Steeljaw growls playfully as he kisses her passionately and he runs a servo down her body. Shivering at his touch Strongarm arched her back, waiting for whatever was coming next. His servo stops at her thigh and lifts up her leg over his waist.
Strongarm moaned softly when she felt his claws on her thigh, her body was starting to feel hot. Steeljaw pries her mouth open with his own and he sticks his tongue inside, their tongues cross and touch as they battle for dominance. Moaning as their tongues dueled Strongarm's servo trailed down to his chest, feeling his spark pulse. His servo moved from her thigh up to her breastplate and started rubbing on it.
Gasping softly she slowly broke away from the kiss as she pushed his servo away from her breastplate, "I'm not ready for that just yet. We're still getting to know and trust each other."
"You're right, I got carried away. I'm sorry. I can wait until you're ready."
Strongarm smiles at him, "Thank you."
Before Steeljaw could say anything else Strongarm got a call from Fixit,:: Cadet Strongarm! Where are you? Bumblebee is worn, waved, worried. ::
Strongarm pushed Steeljaw off of her as she bolted up when she heard Fixit's voice,:: I-I'm still on patrol Fixit, I went a little too far out. Is everything alright?::
:: It's past time for your return and you haven't even reported in. ::
:: I was in a bad spot for communications. I'm on my way back now. :: Strongarm ended the connection before Fixit could say anything else, "I need to get back Steeljaw, I'm sorry," she says as they begin to get up off the ground.
"I understand. Will you be back later?" He asks looking a bit sad.
"I'll try, but I don't think Bumblebee will let me out of his sight for a while," she replied. Placing her servo on his cheek she gave him one final kiss before she left. He watches her leave until she was out of sight, he then heads back to where Metalsound and Thunderhoof are.
"Have fun?" Thunderfoof asked Steeljaw when he saw him coming towards them.
"Of course," Steeljaw replied with a grin.
"Where'd she go?"
"She was called back to the base."
"You need to be mindful of how much time you spend with her," Metalsound speaks up making Thunderhoof and Steeljaw look down at her, "If she's away for too long they'll think something's wrong, and it'll be the same way for you if you're not careful."
"I know," Steealjaw says looking down to the ground.
"I think we should head back, before Saberhorn and Glowstrike start to wonder where we disappeared to," Thunderhoof mentioned as he picked up Metalsound.
"I agree."
Thunderhoof let Steeljaw lead the way as he glanced down at Metalsound who was now fast asleep. Where is she going to sleep? He thought to himself.
Glowstrike was wandering the halls when she saw Thunderhoof and Steeljaw walking through the halls with the femme, "What happened to her?" She asked with little concern.
"She fell down a slope. What's it to ya?"
"Nothing, just wondering," she replied as she walked off. Why couldn't you have carried me like that? She thought bitterly. She jumped when she saw Soundwave, the mech creeped her out. He hasn't said a word yet and he was said to be the eyes and ears for the Decepticons.
Soundwave walks right past her not minding her one bit and walks straight towards Thunderhoof and Metalsound, "You need something?" Thunderhoof all but growled at the silent mech. Soundwave points to Metalsound wondering about her condition, "She's fine, just a little fall."
Just then Laserbeak comes flying in and sets on Soundwave's chest, the two mechs wonder how much Laserbeak saw, especially Steeljaw. Soundwave stared at Steeljaw for a moment before he walked off, "That was a little creepy," Thunderhoof stated once Soundwave was out of sight.
"You think he knows?"
"I'm not sure. Do you think he respects anyone's privacy?"
Steeljaw shrugs and heads to his room.
Thunderhoof left for his quarters, he wasn't even sure if Metalsound had any to call her own. Once he entered his room he gently placed her on his berth, hoping she would feel better soon. He hated seeing her like this, it didn't feel right to see her in such distress.
