It had been three months since their last encounter with Osyraa. Reading the information in front of her, Tilly was positive she had somehow escaped. Volunteering to go on the away mission, she found herself on the surface of the planet with three crewmates.

Heading into the mouth of the cave alone, Tilly smiled when Osyraa step out of the shadows. Pushing her up against the wall, Tilly crashed their lips together and slid her hand over Osyraa's body, the Orion willing her to go farther as the kiss deepened. Tilly never thought this would happen but it felt good.

Tilly still didn't completely understand her relationship with Osyraa but as she ran a trail of kisses down the Orion's body, she looked up at her and knew they felt connected to one another.

Osyraa reminded her of honeysuckle, she was like a drug and it made Tilly tingle all over. Trailing her lips back up, she slowly kissed her, their lips moving in sync, melting together.

Tilly knew some people still considered Osyraa the enemy but as their bodies connected, she couldn't care less. She wanted this, she wanted Osyraa, and she had wanted her since their first encounter.

Hushed whispers filled the room as Tilly walked into the mess hall. She could feel people's eyes on her as she walked over to the food synthesizer and ordered herself dinner. Sitting down and beginning to eat, Tilly observed those around her, taking mental notes of what she thought they were saying.

She didn't know if it was her anxiety or not, but she felt as if everyone suddenly knew that Osyraa was actually alive and they kind of hate fucked down on the planet below when she went into the forest looking for the strange energy readings they found.

Waking to the sound of the red alarm going off, Tilly jumped out of bed and put her uniform on. She could see the attacking ship out of the window and it looked a lot like one of Osyraa's.

"Michael to Ensign Tilly."

"Go ahead."

"Meet Doctor Culber in the launch bay, ASAP."

"Will do."

Making her way through the halls as quickly as she could, she entered the launch bay and saw Osyraa exiting a small vessel, blood on the side of her face, looking beat up. Tilly felt relief at the sight of her, knowing she was alive.

Tilly knew it would take quite a while for Osyraa to gain the trust of those around her. She came aboard three weeks ago, escaping the Emerald Chain, barely able to walk. There had been a turn for power, she was overthrown, and for her life, she offered all the codes and information she could.

Now they were sitting in Osyraa's quarters, silently eating their meals together, Osyraa confined to the small room.

Tilly didn't know what they were, they were something, but every time her lips came into contact with Osyraa's skin, she didn't want to stop touching her.

Tilly knew she had taken a risk when she vouched for Osyraa. Now, almost three months later she was glad she did. Osyraa had helped them out greatly in bringing down parts of the Emerald Chain and slowly they were freeing people from slavery. Tilly knew that Osyraa had done horrible things, things so bad they were never mentioned but what she did, she did to survive.

Sitting next to Osyraa in her quarters, Tilly laced their fingers together as they watched an old movie from Earth. Tilly knew Osyraa was trying to be better and it was good enough.

After a long day Tilly wanted nothing more than to crawl into her bed. Her voice felt hoarse and as she was on her way to her quarters, she stopped for a moment and decided to go see Osyraa.

Entering Osyraa's quarters, Tilly was greeted with a soft kiss, something she didn't realise she needed.

"I ran you a hot bubble bath, you look like you need it," Osyraa gently said, helping Tilly out of her uniform jacket.

"Thank you," Tilly replied, enjoying the feeling of being cared for.

Sliding into the hot water, Tilly closed her eyes and relaxed.

Tilly knew that she was absolutely falling hard for Osyraa. Every encounter they had ended up in a battle of wits quickly followed by trying to tear each other's clothes off as they desperately sought out every inch of one another's body.

The first time they kissed, Tilly felt the fireworks go off and that was enough for her.

Tilly felt like she was fucking the enemy and it made her feel rebellious and as soon as Osyraa's lips were on her throat she didn't care, she just wanted more. She wanted Osyraa and she was sure Osyraa wanted her.

Knowing that Osyraa really enjoyed old Earth movies, Tilly planned a movie night with choc top ice-creams, popcorn, and large drinks. Having lined up three movies, Tilly was pretty sure Osyraa would enjoy the Kingsman movies, starting off with The Secret Service.

Leading Osyraa down the corridors and to her quarters, they sat on the empty bed and started the movie, sipping at their drinks. Introducing Osyraa to choc tops, Tilly smiled when Osyraa's face lit up at the small treat.

As the movie played, Tilly felt Osyraa gently hold her hand and it made her heart skip a beat.

Osyraa softly snored next to her as she looked out at the stars. The were only travelling at impulse so she had a better view and could appreciate the beauty a little more. Gently moving Osyraa's hair out of her face, Tilly smiled and felt like her heart was full. A year ago Osyraa handed herself over, pleading for life, and not in a million years did Tilly think they would be together. Tilly thought she would never be with someone like Osyraa but here she was, lying in bed with her, sharing her life with her and loving her.
