The worth of a good friend
The ride back to the Aldecaldo camp took less time than I imagined and thankfully Panam decided to drive this time. Looking out at the dusty planes, I couldn't help but feel that maybe my lot in life was finally turned around. Looking at Panam, I could tell that the cogs in her brain were whirling around and I decided to see what was on her mind.
"Can I ask you something V?" Panam asked me, surprising me seeing as she'd usually stew over whatever she was thinking about before either taking her anger out on a poor rock, or just chocking it up as idiotic.
"I don't know, can you?" I joked with her before noticing her glare and half smile; while she was annoyed at the answer, she knew she walked right into that one.
"Fine smartass, may I ask you something." Panam said with a huff before laughing.
"Sure thing beautiful." I said as I placed a hand on her thigh which caused her to moan into a sight.
"Since I've known you, you've always gone by V; what's it stand for?" She asked me to my shock, I thought I had already shared that with her.
"Vincent." I told her as she took that in, and I could see her silently saying it.
"Vincent, huh, tell me, why do you go by V?" She asked me and something about her saying Vincent made my heart flutter like it was gonna beat itself out of my chest.
"To be honest, only those closest to me even know that my name is Vincent." I said as she processed that info.
"So, do I happen to count as those closest to you?"
"Sure do, but you can still call me V should you like to." I said as she looked at me with a playful smirk.
"Not a chance in hell Vincent, though I'll still call you V whenever we are in a firefight." She said as I smiled at that, not gonna lie, it'll be nice having her call me Vincent. Looking down, I notice that my hand was still on her thigh, so I brought it up slightly to her vagina and started rubbing it much to her pleasure and I could see that Panam was enjoying it.
"Vincent, not right now; I'm driving, but once we get back to camp." Panam was only able to moan out as I pulled my hand away understanding her reasoning.
"Promise?" I asked her as she laughed.
"I promise, and I'll make it worth your while." She smirked and gave me a very seductive smile.
Lemon scene ahead, you've been warned.
"So, what did you have in mind?" My curiosity had been peaked and noticed that Panam was leading me back towards
"Remember our first time in the Basilisk? From what I recall, we never got to finish because of those fucking Raffen Shiv, so I thought round two was needed." She said as we rounded the bend and came to the area that the Basilisk was sitting at, in all its glory.
"Sweet; round two being linked neurally; I'm liking the sound of this already." I said as we hopped up onto the Basilisk and started it up.
"I was actually thinking about this for a while, and when I found out that I'm pregnant; I figured now will be the best time before I get too big to fit into here." She said as she lightly slapped her belly while my thoughts quickly raced to that dream I had, and I could only imagine how exquisite she would still look, even when she herself would feel terrible being that big.
"Mitch, Vincent and I are gonna take the Panzer out for some recon." Panam said as Mitch waved us away, and we soon found ourselves about thirty minutes outside of camp. Without a moment to lose, Panam and I were both connected to each other via the neural port and we could feel what the other was feeling, though this time it felt much more intense than it originally was.
"Damn Panam, this feels much stronger now than it did before." I was barely able to get that out as Panam started to remove her clothes; first revealing her supple breasts and caramel-colored nipples.
"I know." Was all Panam was able to squeak out before her pants were removed and her full form was revealed to me and I myself was fully nude. Looking over Panam, I could see the small bump starting to form in her belly, and her breasts looked a little bit bigger now than they did a few weeks ago, but overall, she still maintained her slim figure. Panam herself never once cared about her figure, though with the amount of traveling we did, she didn't have much need to anyways, and the Nomad lifestyle never afforded one to get fat. Looking over, I could see Panam was itching for me to pleasure her, to the point that her legs were spread like a mare in heat. Grabbing her hand, I helped guide her over to my side of the tank and she sat down onto me, though not taking my shaft into her just yet.
Looking over Panam, I could tell that she was extremely aroused at this point and slapping her ass only served to arouse her even more, and I could feel that her core was not only super wet at this point, but her whole body was shivering from arousal. I placed my hands upon her breasts and squeezed each nipple as Panam grabbed my erection and proceeded to guide herself onto it.
"Oh Vincent." Panam moaned out as our tongues became intertwined and our heart beats matched, and she gradually but steadily started to speed up riding me. Before long, she was riding me really fast and from what I saw on her face, her orgasm was imminent and all I had to do was hold out long enough so that she could finish in pure ecstasy.
Just hearing her moan out my name was enough to send me over the edge and I firmly grasped Panam's ass as I came inside of her; feeling me cum was more than enough to make her cum as well. As we both finished, Panam was heavily panting as she collapsed on top of me. The look on her face is priceless for me, a mixture of ecstasy, pure happiness, and love.
"Panam?"
"Yeah?" Panam asked as she returned to her set in the Panzer, and her breathing was starting to return to normal.
"I love you." I said as a smile graced her lips and we locked hands.
"I love you too." She said as her smile grew even brighter and she started to put her clothes back on; same as me.
"Well, guess we should be getting back to camp before Mitch starts to get worried and sends out a search party." I said as Panam chuckled at that.
The ride back to camp was much quicker than I'd prefer, though arriving before dusk was a good thing. Getting caught out after dark in the bad lands is usually never a good thing and fraught with danger ranging from Raffen to Scavs who made their way out here. With precision, I piloted the Basilisk back into the tent that we kept it stored in as a means of protecting it from prying eyes as well as the elements. After shutting down the Basilisk, we were greeted by Mitch, John, and Mikah who had been waiting for us knowing that we decided to take some time to have a little fun as well. Getting out, I noticed that Panam was already ordering people about though she did tell the mechanics that she and I would clean the Panzer.
"You two have fun?" Mitch asked me as he elbowed me in the side.
"Yep." I said as I walked to Join Panam in whatever it was that she decided to go do and left Mitch, John, and Mikah to their selves.
"So; what's the story on those two?"
"Eh, it's a pretty long tale." Mitch said as he took out three beers and handed two to Mikah and John and started recounting their time in the NC badlands.
Flashback
The vets that made up Saul's inner circle were sitting around a campfire; it was roughly twelve hours since Panam and V had launched a risky and dangerous rescue of the Aldecaldos beloved leader. The mood around camp had been doing better since Panam came back into the picture bringing Night Cities premier merc with her. The betting pool that the vets made was also growing with pretty much the entire camp pitching in; the bet being how long it would take Panam and V to get together. Everyone knew there was a burning inferno between the two and they just kept tip toeing around it like it didn't exist, which for Mitch and the rest of the vets was hilarious. Even Saul had joined in after witnessing firsthand how close Panam and V were getting after being rescued the day prior, and even though he'd never say it out loud, he was grateful for Panam bringing her lover along as the two made a great team. He was also thankful that their playful conversation did not turn more serious and eventually leading to sex.
"So, any interesting news with our camps favorite lovebirds." Mitch asked as Carol, Cassidy, Bob, and Saul looked at him before grabbing a drink.
"Not sure, but I still don't like it; Panam falling for an outsider." Saul said as Mitch looked him dead in the eye.
"Need I remind you that said outsider has saved not one, but two Aldecaldos lives now?" Mitch laced that sentence with enough tact that even Saul had to take a step back mentally to think about what he just said.
"I agree with Saul, but let's not forget to mention all the good that 'outsider' has done for Panam; hell, he even convinced her to return to the family." Carol said as Cassidy and Bob agreed with her on that.
"I think it's safe to say he's more than earned the right to be an Aldecaldo" Bob said as Saul processed that tidbit but was still unsure how he viewed V; sure, he rescued Saul, but that could have been just to try and get into Panam's pants.
"And let's not forget to mention that if things keep progressing as they are, both he and Panam may be the much-needed kick in the backside that this family so desperately needed." Mitch said as the other's silently agreed with him, well, apart from Saul that is.
"And how do we know that V isn't in it just to fuck Panam and then ghost her?" Saul said as the others thought about it, but Mitch was unconcerned.
"I highly doubt he'd do that; hell, the kid himself even told me that he has not laid with any women inside of Night City; though I can't blame him on that one." Mitch said thinking back to the conversation they had after sending Scorpion off.
"Interesting; with the amount of fame that kid is getting, you'd think women would be practically throwing themselves at him." Saul mentioned as he remembered back to the few times that he'd actually spoken to V.
"From what Panam has told me, V is on some kind of warpath though I've yet to figure out exactly why." Mitch explained as he started to connect the dots as to the possible severity of it.
"You think Panam could drag us into V's vendetta?"
"I don't think so, but I also don't think it's a vendetta either."
"What do you think it is then?" Saul's curiosity had gotten the better of him and wondered if maybe there was more to this whole situation then what meets the eye.
"Simply put; I'd wager someone's life is on the line. I've seen enough from the unification war to know that look in V's eyes; he's on a mission and won't stop until it's finished." Mitch explained before getting up to work on his car.
Hours had passed and the vets realized that camp supper was ready when the great migration to the cantina truck started, and they themselves got up to get something to eat. Arriving at the cantina truck, they noticed that V and Panam were already seated with food and water and were going over a plan if they had to guess. What the plan was though would be anyone's guess, though it most certainly had to either be about possible Raffen Shiv or V's predicament. While the promise of a cure was enticing enough, the fact that the messenger was unnerving made things stressful. Panam and I went over possible outcomes of this rouge AI and why he'd want to help us; there must be a catch that we can't figure out. One thing for sure though, this coming week would be interesting and hopefully Panam and I could use this to our advantage.
