Chapter 11 – Headache, Feeling, and Bonding
I felt the pelican landing in the hanger in the station. I opened my eyes and pushed myself up into a standing position. The ramp lowered and I noticed that there were few people walking around but the lights were switched to red lights indicating it was night on the ship. I was glad that not many people would be walking around to cause more noise than what my head can take now.
I headed to the armor after I left the hanger. I know that John, Thel, Eton, Risa, and Viti are moving in that direction. I was ready to get this suit of armor off and lay down in my bed. Walking into the armory, I walked right into my enclave. I took my weapons off and unpacked my magazines from the hidden compartments along my suit. Stepping into the assembly unit, I typed my code in. the machine went to work on my helmet then the rest of my armor. It felt slow but it was the same amount of time as it took to get into the armor. The harsh lights of the armory resulted in my headache pounding and my eyes feeling like they are going to either explode or pop out of my sockets. I could feel the hair that became lose from my bun sticking to my sweaty face as I stumbled out of the assembly unit. I kept my hand rested against the wall to keep myself steady and heading to the door.
"Are you alright?" a deep growl of a voice asked behind me. My eyes fluttered open quickly to see that it was Eton standing just behind me with his hand reached out to catch me it would seem. I placed my hand in his. I knew that I could not get to my room without help. I shook my head 'no' to indicate that I was not alright. His hand closed around my hand and just held it. His hand was smooth except the calluses on his fingertips that I felt on the back of my hand.
"I have a headache," I whispered as I tried to move along the wall to the door. "Could you help me to my room." I asked and then felt him place his arm around my waist and pulled me closer to lean my weight onto him. He started walking forward and I heard the doors of the armory opening with a loud hiss. He walked slowly along the hallways as I stumbled along.
The feeling that I have just to have his arm wrapped around me and his hand holding my own was comforting and reassuring. It felt so natural to touch his skin and be this close. I truly felt happy and I leaned more of my body onto him. Which resulted with my head laying on his chest as we walked. I heard a slight purr coming from him that sounded like a rolling thundercloud. It was comforting. I wondered what it would be like to wake up to that sound every morning. I know that it would be better than having a headache as I woke up.
We came to a stop and I wondered where we were. I felt him place my right hand onto a keypad and I realized that we were in front of my door. I felt around and then pressed the right numbers to hear a loud ping come from in front of me. The door opened with a gentle swooshing sound as it pulled back into the wall. I felt Eton move forward and I took a step to remain by his side. He walked in and removed his arm from my waist. I felt cold suddenly and missed the loss of contact that was there. He took my hands into his and moved his body around that I followed with subtle shuffles of my feet.
"Your bed is behind you by a half step. I am going to lower you onto your bed." Eton said as he took a step forward. I did not move far until I felt the edge of the bed against the back of my legs. I took one hand out of his and placed it on his chest. I felt him stop at the placement of my hand. His chest expanded every time he took a breath. Just feeling the strength that was radiating from his body when I was this close made me feel safe. I loved the feeling of my hand on his chest, it gave a slight irregular beat to it from his heart that let me know that he was still alive. I just knew that I did not want to leave his arms.
"I need to change out of this body suit." I could feel heat forming on my cheeks at this statement. "I left my loose shirt and pants on the bed. If you are willing to help me out of this and into those. Please?" I asked and I felt through my hand on his chest a rumbling that started in his deep then became vocal into a soft growl. It excited me at the feeling of it. Just wondering what could happen from that feeling.
"I can help you with that." His voice was gravelly. "Where is the contraption to take this off of you." He ran a hand up my arm and to my shoulder. I felt my skin tingle at the touch. I told him that the zipper was at the top in the middle of my back. He reached his arms around me and pulled me close to his chest. I wish that I could open my eyes without any pain but that was not in the cards for tonight. I felt his hands lightly glide up and down my back, making me shiver, until he found the zipper at the top. Taking it between his thumb and finger he started to pull it down slowly. I felt cold air hit my back as it kept being displayed to the room. After the zipper was all the way down, Eton glided his hands up my exposed back to my shoulder and took hold of the fabric. He pulled the fabric forward exposing more skin and felt his eyes on my body. I do not know what expression he has on his face right now, but I know that I would love to see it. Eton continued to pull the body suit down until my arms were out, but my chest was still covered. He leaned to the side to grab something from the bed.
"Lift your arms." His soft deep voice started me from what I am feeling to do as he directed. I raised my arms and felt the large shirt be placed over my arms and head. The shirt fell to my thighs and Eton reached up under my shirt to grab the edges of the of the suit that were on top of my breast and start to peel it off my body. He got the suit to my hips and ran into a slight problem. I always have issues with getting the body suit over my hips, it was just very snug. He placed his hands-on top of my hips, dipped a finger under the tight fabric and slowly started to pull it down. I placed my hands on his shoulders to keep balance as I felt his hands brush over my legs. I felt like I would have fallen from the feeling of his hands on my legs if I did not have my hands on his shoulders. He moved his hands to my left foot and picked it up lightly as I shifted my weight to the right and he took of the body suit from that leg. He repeated the same process on the right leg. I felt that he placed the body suit onto the bed and had the shorts in his hands. He placed them at my feet and asked me to step forward a bit. I did and he grabbed the shorts as he touched my leg. He slowly brought his hands up my legs keeping them on my skin as be placed the shorts securely on my hips. Then moved his hands to my elbows as he stood up. I felt all jittery from the feeling of his hands running along my body. He guided my body back onto the bed gently and laid me down onto my back. He wished me a good night as he left the room. I could not explain the lost feeling I have when he left my proximity. I felt like I was slowly losing myself to this strange feeling in my chest. Though I could not continue thinking about it too much for I fell asleep quickly.
