Chapter 3

A Cold Woman Warms Up To A Lonely Soldier

"Maya, what did you do with that bottle I left with you earlier?" I asked her as we walked out of Roland's office. "I left it with Moxxi, she is keeping it behind the bar for you." I started off by myself towards Moxxi's, but stopped. "Maya." I said. "Yea?" She looked at me. "Come on, you heard Moxxi earlier, last bottle until tomorrow and I don't feel like drinking alone." She smiled and started walking next to me. I leaned over and whispered, "Lillith probably thinks we're up to something scandalous." Maya just chuckled and leaned against me grabbing my arm. "She does now." Maya whispered as I felt my face start to burn.

As we walked through the door, Moxxi looked over and smiled, "Soldier Boy and a Siren, who'd have guessed?" She reached under the bar and sat two glasses and the bottle of whiskey out. "Anything else just yell for me." She said as she went to tend to other customers.

Two drinks later Maya asked me, "How'd you know The Firehawk was really Lillith?" "When we were little her nickname was 'The Firehawk' because of her hair color and the way she dresses, so I knew it was her as soon as you said that was who you were going to look for." I said pouring the last of the whiskey into my glass and downing it.

"Well, I need to get back to Scooter's and strip off my combat gear so I can bathe." I said. "I smell like a three day old dead brute." I stood up and made my way towards the door. "I'm gonna come with so we can talk more." Maya said, brushing up against me as she hurried past to take the lead.

Three blocks later I was standing in front of Scooter grabbing my bag before Scooter showed me my room. "Its got a shower and a soft bed. Enjoy." He said before going back to his lawn chair next to the piles of scrap parts.

I stripped off my vest and all of my gear so my t-shirt, camo pants, and boots. Sat down and peeled off my boots, feeling the fresh air hit my feet after spending the day humping it through the desert and a cavern, was amazing. Maya returned from the bathroom in nothing but a towel. "Thanks for letting me use the shower." She said sitting down next to me, enough flesh exposed to make my heart start to race. "Shouldn't you get dressed?" I asked trying to hide my surprise and excitement. "That would defeat the purpose." She replied rather coyly. Then she pushed me on my back and climbed on top, letting the towel fall away.

"M-m-maya, what are you doing?" I stuttered at the sudden view. "Having at you." She said smiling softly and leaning down, planting her lips softly on mine. I was suddenly surprised and she must have known. "What's wrong?" Maya asked. "Nothing." I replied. "I'm just surprised at how soft that was." She chuckled. "I may be one of the best fighters on the planet, But I'm still a woman." She said the second part softly as she leaned back in and slipped her fingers under my shirt pulling it off. "So many scars." She said as soon as she got my shirt over my head. "The covenant were merciless while I was deployed on Reach." I said taking the opportunity to un-zip my camo pants and slip them past my ankles.

Now as exposed as Maya, she reached down and wrapped her hand around me. "You're already so hard." She said starting to blush. Then she smiled mischievously and grabbed my wrists, pinning my hands behind my head. "This is going to be fun." She said planting her lips against mine, fiercely attacking the inside of my mouth. "oh my god…" She moaned as she rubbed against me, dripping wet. Her body begging her to do what she'd already planned.

Then she did, releasing my wrist long enough to reach down and grab me so she could move me close enough so she could just slide down. "You're… You're throbbing." She moaned, her lungs demanding that she catch her breath. She caught her breath and began moving herself up and down. "Yes, YES, YES!" She moaned before collapsing on top of me and began just softly kissing me again.

She rolled off and laid down next to me, still naked and seemingly more gorgeous. "Michaelson." She said my last name so I rolled over and looked her in the eye. "Yes?" I asked seeing a sadness in her eyes that hadn't been there before. "I haven't wanted anyone like that in a very long time, so don't go anywhere, ok?" I pulled her close and wrapped my arms around her tightly before pulling the blanket over us. "No promises, I've narrowly avoided death too many times to promise I'll make it through each day, but if you stay by my side I'm sure I should be fine." I said kissing her and then closing my eyes and giving in to the sudden drowsiness that was making it difficult to keep my eyes open.

A/N: After seeing that over a 150 people have read the first two chapters, I went ahead and wrote chapter three. I hope you all have enjoyed the story so far, this chapter got a little warm, hope everyone liked that. And I'm not very good at writing scenes like this yet, so please bear with me as I try to get better.
