Chapter 3: Closer

Mika blinked when he pushed her back. "wha?" she muttered blankly. One moment it looked like they were going to kiss and the next he was pushing her away. Mika berated herself, what was she thinking almost kissing a stranger, well.. thanks to that freaky mental connection he made she felt like she knew him her whole life.

"Forgive me Mika.. I remain Prime and cannot indulge in.. carnal desires" he growled in that deep baritone. The way he grunted "carnal desire" was enough to make Mika's legs turn into noodles.

She coughed and tried to hide the flush of her face. "Right, ehm.. so..i don't know about you but I'm beat! I'm gonna hit the bed and get some shut eye, t'was a tiering day" Mika said offering Optimus a kind smile but it was clear she felt awkward.

Optimus smiled back and decided to ignore it for now. He didn't want to embarrass his gracious host further. Also, he had some thinking to do, his situation, why he had felt like kissing this femme. He hadn't felt this type of desire in Ages, and now suddenly it was re-ignited like gasoline on a fire.

Moving to his designated room he plopped down on the bed and propped his hands behind his head. He could feel his eyes beginning to droop as his mind drifted off, the lovely face of Mika entering his thoughts once more.

Mika took a nice long shower and sighted in bliss. Hot showers where the best! Rubbing her hair dry she moved towards her bed wearing nothing but her fluffy robe and slippers. Much like the same she had given Optimus to wear.

"Hmm.. Autobot leader in my house.. who said my life was boring" she mused chuckling lightly. Biting her lower lip Mika thought about the handsome and definitely heavy muscled frame of the man.

Shaking her head she took a deep breath to clear her mind. "Ok.. no more dirty thoughts, poor man must be terrified and here I am almost jumping his bones.. jeez" she growled and almost dropped herself on her bed after taking off her robe.

She wore a silk nighty, and although she preferred to sleep naked she didn't want to risk walking into him naked when she wanted a glass of milk or something.

Curling on the matras she cocooned herself underneath the blankets and enjoyed the warmth closing her eyes and dozing off.

5 days later-

Mika, what would you like for breakfast?" came the rumble from the kitchen. "two eggs sunny side up please!" Mike shouted from the bathroom.

The two had soon fallen into a routine and Optimus made sure to do everything he could to repay Mika for her kindness, despite his hosts protests.

Mika entered the kitchen and gave the commander a smile "You're getting good at that!" she complimented the leader who seemed to fluff up a bit with pride at the compliment.

"I read up about the subject and watched Video images on a website called Youtube" Optimus told her calmly while moving the egg on a plate.

"Very nice" Mika smiled and started on her breakfast while Optimus finished his own, he had taken a liking to peanut butter sandwiches.

They weren't awkward around each other anymore, or so it seemed but if you looked closely the tension was undeniable still very much present, it would only be a matter of time before it reached its boiling point. Optimus could only hope that his time as a human would be done before that would happen.

Not that he wasn't interested, oh primus no it was the opposite. He felt attracted and possessive over Mika and this feeling intensified if she was talking about male colleagues from the shelters, his instincts shouting at him to claim her before another male did.

Shaking his head, he cursed in his mind. Such primitive thoughts were unacceptable, Mika was not a toy.

Oblivious to Optimus his internal struggles Mika hummed some to herself as she practically inhaled the delicious breakfast. Looking at the other she decided to tease him somewhat.

Standing up she brushed past him to grab his plate, her chest pressing against his back and shoulder as she moved forward. Pulling back she smirked slightly and whispered in his ear. "Thank you for the breakfast stud.. you certainly know the way to a womans heart" before pulling back and placing the plates on the countertop.

She faintly heard a choking sound coming from behind her and couldn't hide her smirk.

"Devious woman.. mika is no innocent, curses" the prime thought. He was in trouble.

Later that night Optimus tossed and turned in his bed. What was going on! Why was he still human, was this permanent? Should he find a way to contact his men, would they be ok? All those questions ran trough his head preventing him to fall asleep. Glaring at the clock he saw it was 03:00 AM and cursed softly. Giving up on sleep he decided that perhaps it would help to get up and drink some cold milk like Mika had suggested earlier. Grunting he got out of his warm cocoon, spine popping as he stretched and moved to the kitchen.

Mika gave a frustrated sigh, "03:00 AM and still no sleep.. must be the full moon or something" she muttered and rolled out of her bed. A glass of cold milk would help.

She walked towards the fridge and opened it peering inside for the milk when she suddenly heard a surprised grunt. Looking up she saw Optimus standing in the door opening, eyes wide as he looked at her. "Ah optimus, couldn't sleep?" she asked mentally slapping herself for that redundant question.

"I couldn't not.. and you?" he found himself asking. Mika smiled gently "I couldn't sleep as wel.. must be the full moon" she joked trying to ease the thick tension that was suddenly there.

Optimus cocked his head to the side like a curious puppy. "I am not familiar with that phrase". Mika stumbled a bit to explain but didn't get very far as she noticed his eyes where scanning over her body like she was a delicious snack.

Shuddering Mika bit her lower lip and put her glass of milk down. His eyes zoned to her chest and stayed there, she knew why. Her nipples were hard, she could say it was because of the cold of the refrigerator but they both knew better.

Seeing that she was getting ready for him was more then he could bare, he was still a man for primus sake! Sniffing the air once he could almost taste her desire and before he could control it a deep primal growl escaped his chest.

"Optimus.." Mika spoke.

It was enough to break him, and in two large strides he was in front of her pressing her back against the large fridge, one hand next to her head and the other on her side. His breaths came out in pants and he pressed his hips against hers. She could feel his excitement and moaned. "Fuck.. optimus I.. "she cursed but her protest was abruptly stopped when he brushed his lips against hers, his frame was so powerful and yet he was so gentle.

"I tried.. I'm prime .. but I can no longer stop myself, you smell so good.. I want to taste you now" he muttered as he buried his face against her neck mouth attaching to her neck. Mika felt his teeth scrape her neck and could swear she could feel fang like teeth grazing the skin. But she couldn't bring herself to care, it felt delicious.

"Then don't stop" she said.

Optimus pulled back sharply and for a second Mika thought she ruined it again and wanted to scream with frustration, but before any other coherent thought could form he moved in again. This time his lips connected with hers hard, their teeth clicking and tongues clumsily meeting, saliva intermingling.

A purr escaped Optimus his chest as he kissed her, she tasted just like he had imagined, sweet with a hint of mint. He rolled his hips against hers in a languid pace, but his strength caused the pressure on her core to increase at an alarming pace.

Breaking the kiss he bit her lower lip before burying his face in her neck once more. "it's too late now little one.. I will claim you and make you mine, no point of return" he snarled and Mika tried to imagine how he looked if he were in his original form but the thought was quickly expelled as Optimus roughly thrusted against her, pulling her legs up so she could wrap them around his waist.

"I am not going to fuck you here my sweet soon to be mate.. but not release you until we both had our fill, that I promise" he rumbled using human language for intercourse apposed to his own mother tongue. " And fuck you I will.." he smirked his dark blue eyes shining with lust.

He grasped Mikas hair roughly and pulled on it making her bare her neck to him. "So vulnerable, so hnngh… delicious" he purred as he gave a long lick on her neck feeling her heartbeat against the muscle.

Mika wondered if he had gotten a hold of the Vampire movie collection she had but she wasn't about to stop him. "Gods yes optimus, please.. just do it, whatever you are planning do it" she gasped as the pleasure increased even more, juices drenching her panties. "The things I will do to you my sweet" he purred and held her close as he gave a few powerful thrusts against her mound, the pressure on her clit was exquisite, almost bordering painful.

"Hnnh.. yess overload for me my sweet" he purred no longer being able to use the human terminology, but Mika caught the drift and with a shout she came her whole-body trembling with the effort. She could feel juiced running past her legs as her orgasm was explosively good. Optimus was panting like a racehorse as he kept thrusting against her once, twice before he too stilled with a loud groan.

Mika felt another burst of wetness and her hand buried itself in Optimus his short hair. "oh my.." she panted and gave a post orgasmic giggle. "that was.. " she began but was cut off by Optimus.

"Nothing, that was nothing" he growled. Mika frowned and was about to pull back. what was he saying but before she could mule further over his words Optimus seemed to have understood the lack of context in his wording and corrected himself.

"Nothing compared to what I will do to you when we truly mate" he finished and gave Mika a cheeky smile before kissing her once more and carrying her to the bathroom for a nice long shower. A few hours would bring a new day with new opportunities.
