The Exchange

CHAPTER 4

The day started with tensions all around, Lucas was eager to get this finished with as quickly as possible. Nisha was trying to cope with the knowledge that she would be responsible for Sheppard's death. And Sheppard was just trying to get himself out of this situation any way he could.

"So we don't reach this place till the day after tomorrow, right?" Sheppard asked.

"No, we'll reach it tomorrow afternoon." Nisha corrected him.

"Tomorrow afternoon! Yesterday, you said it would take two days." he stopped and turned around, Nisha backed up, she didn't like the look he was throwing at her. She looked to see where Lucas was, she relaxed when she saw him just ahead.

"Well today and tomorrow is two days." she pointed out.

"A day and a half to be precise." he corrected her.

"It's not like you have anywhere else to go, is it." Nisha pointed out.

She had her hand resting on her dart gun, ready to use it if he tried anything. She was getting a little anxious at the way he was glaring at her, he looked like a predator that was ready to pounce, and she was feeling a lot like his prey.

"Actually I do have some where else to go, but with these things on me, it's proving a little difficult to get there."

"Very funny." Nisha retorted. "Now if you don't get moving, Lucas will probably just shoot you with the dart gun, and carry you the rest of the way."

"You think he could." he asked.

"Could what?"

"Carry me all that way?"

"Oh, yes, definitely, especially when you consider what his reward will be." she said, causing him to frown. He wondered what the hell was worth more than a man's life.

All day Sheppard was aware of Nisha watching him, but every time he turned to look at her, she'd turn away. He sighed, he was relying on Nisha to let him go, the problem was, she didn't look like she was going to be doing that any time soon.

ooooo

It was late afternoon when Sheppard noticed that the cloudless, blue, sky was beginning to darken, as huge black clouds rolled across it. The temperature dropped slightly, and the wind picked up. But they carried on walking, it wasn't until a few hours later that Lucas decided to stop for the night. And only then because a light rain had started to fall.

Nisha was still watching him, still looking away whenever he looked at her. Some of the looks she gave him were decidedly sensual, and they were almost like a physical caress, so much so that he found himself being turned on.

It was pretty dark and the rain was falling a little heavier than before, but they were well sheltered from the weather. It was around 10.00pm when Sheppard saw Nisha stand up, she picked up a blanket, then she walked away from the camp.

"Where are you going?" Lucas shouted after her.

"I'll be back in a few minutes." she shouted back. Sheppard wondered what she was up to, she'd hardly spoken a word all day.

The rain was coming down much heavier now, and in the distance Sheppard could see flashes of lightening, streaking across the dark sky.

Nisha had been gone for quite a while, and Sheppard looked at Lucas, to see if he looked worried, but he didn't. Then he heard the crunching of leaves and twigs and turned to see Nisha walking back, minus the blanket. She walked over to Lucas and began talking to him in low tones.

They seemed to be arguing, heatedly, over something, he wondered what it was. He saw Nisha grab another blanket and walk away from Lucas.

"What are you doing?" Lucas shouted, as Nisha moved away, he grabbed her arm to stop her.

"I told you, It's my decision." she retorted, pulling her arm free.

"I won't let you do it." he shouted at her.

"You can't stop me." her eyes were full of determination.

"Why are you doing this, you don't even know him?" he couldn't understand why she felt it necessary to go this far.

As soon as Sheppard heard Lucas say the last sentence, he had a sneaky suspicion that he knew what their argument was about.

"You don't have to do this." Lucas told her.

"I know, I told you, it's my decision."

He couldn't believe what he was hearing, he couldn't believe that she was going to let him make love to her. He may have asked, even insisted, that he wanted her, but he never for one moment thought she'd say yes. He'd done it to make her feel guilty, that was the angle he'd been playing on, hoping to make her feel so guilty, she'd let him go.

But hey, he wasn't about to turn down an offer of sex, he wasn't that noble, well, at least right now he wasn't. Besides this could be an opportunity to escape, probably the last one he'd get, considering that they would reach their destination tomorrow. And if they had sex, surely she wouldn't be able to hand him over to be killed.

She started to walk away from the camp, then she stopped and turned around to face Sheppard.

"Well, what are you waiting for. Don't you want your last request?" she asked him, she didn't wait for him to say anything she just turned back and walked away.

He threw a quick glance at Lucas, and found him glaring at him, he smiled to himself, then followed Nisha. He had to dodge beneath the trees to escape being drenched by the pouring rain.

She'd found a small grassy area, that was surrounded by dense foliage, and had several tall trees which provided cover from the heavy rainfall. He saw she'd already thrown a blanket down on the floor, then she dropped the other blanket, that she was carrying, on top of it. She turned to face him, her eyes staring right at him, then she spoke.

"Right, if you think this is just a chance for you to escape, I'll tell you now. The devices on you are still active, they will still lock, and still give you pain. The only thing that has changed is that they are less sensitive. And the controller that I am wearing won't zap you, if you touch it. But everything else still stands." she told him, making sure that he realised that the devices were not going to be removed.

He stood there and digested this little piece of information, so much for thinking that this might be a good opportunity to escape, he thought. Well, he wasn't about to give up, just because she said he couldn't escape. But while he waited for the chance, he might as well enjoy the moment.

He watched her as she pulled her boots off, his body began reacting to the knowledge of what they are going to do. When he saw her pulling her top up...

"What are you doing?" he asked, grabbing hold of her top before she pulled it over her head.

"You want sex, so I'm removing my clothes." she told him, bluntly.

"This is my request, so if I want your clothes removed, I'll do it myself." he saw her frown at him.

"So how long do we have for... er... this." he wanted to know if it was just going to be a straight forward one time, then back to Lucas.

"Until the morning."

"That long." He gulped, then coughed, his mind calculating how many hours he had to find a way to escape. But first, just in case the escape plan goes awry, he might as well take out an insurance policy, so to speak. So if he does this right, and his escape plan fails, she definitely won't be able to give him up, not once they've made love, he hoped not anyway..

As he stood in front of her, he saw she was a little nervous of this situation, so he started off kissing her gently. Pressing his lips over hers, moving them across her cheek and down to her neck, then finally back to her mouth.

He stroked his hands over her shoulders, down her arms, then back up again, trying to ease the tension he could see in her. He felt her shiver under his touch and continued to stroke his hands over her. Leaning down he kissed her more passionately. Deepening his kisses by thrusting his tongue in to her mouth. He felt her pulling her tongue away from his.

"Stick your tongue out." he said, pulling his head back to look at her.

"Why?"

"Just do it."

She stuck her tongue out and he leaned in and kissed her, stroking his tongue over hers, drawing it in to his own mouth. He was practically making love to her mouth with his lips and tongue. When he lifts his head up to look at her he saw her lips were lusciously full and slightly reddened from his passionate kissing.

"That's better." he muttered, liking the ravished look on her face.

He pulled her top off and then his own, moving back he looked at what he'd revealed. Her full firm breasts are just waiting for his touch, and he doesn't resist, he cupped them in his hands and bent down to kiss them. He became aware that she hadn't moved yet. Pulling his body back he looked at her.

"You can touch me, you know." he told her, wondering if she was shy, or if it was something else.

"You have done this before, haven't you?" he asked, as little shocked at the idea that she hadn't.

"Not that it's any of your business, but yes, I have." she said. He smiled and took hold of her hands, placing them on his chest. chest.

"I won't bite, you know...," he whispered in her ear, "Well not unless you want me too." he added huskily, running his tongue over her ear.

The sudden streak of lightening across the sky, lit up the darkened wood, and the following crash of thunder made Nisha jerk, with it's loudness. Stroking his hands over her back, he pulled her towards him till her breasts were pressing against his chest. The feel of her skin against his is sensual and arousing. He can feel her nipples lightly scraping across his chest as he rubbed his body against hers.

She began moving her hands over his back in a stroking, caressing movement. All the time he continued to place teasing kisses over her face and neck. When he felt her hands cupping over his buttocks he groaned and pressed his erection against her stomach, while his body throbbing with pleasure.

Stripping the rest of her clothes, and his own, off, he watched her eyes shyly run over his naked body.

Pushing her down on to the blanket he moved to lay beside her. "So beautiful..." he murmured, moving his mouth over her breasts, "Delicious..." he said hoarsely, trailing wet kisses down her body. She hadn't said much, and he wondered if she was the silent type. Never mind, he thought, she wouldn't be silent for long, not when he started making love to her.

He nudged her legs apart and moved to kneel between them, his mouth moved caressingly over her stomach and down to her navel. When he reached her navel and moved lower, she suddenly sat upright.

"What are you doing?" she asked, him nervously.

He was just about to kiss her, intimately, but he raised his head up to look at her. "Is there something wrong?" he asked, he could see the confusion on her face.

"I thought you wanted sex." she asked hesitantly.

"I do, but first I want this." he said hoarsely.

"Want what?" she asked, puzzled by what he's doing.

Groaning, he rested his head on her stomach. Obviously she's not done this before, he realised, because she doesn't seem to know what he was intending to do. No matter, it wasn't going to stop him, he decided he'd just show her what she'd been missing, maybe it would even help her to make her mind up about letting him go.

"Lay back and I'll show you." he said, pushing his hand against her stomach, till she dropped back, her eyes still watching him.

Resting his arms against her inner thighs, he let his hands stroke against her heated core. Tracing his fingers along the delicate folds, he looked up to see her watching him. As soon as he lowered his head down and kissed her, her whole body tensed and she tried to pull her hips back, away from him.

He kept a firm grip on her, anchoring her down until he felt her hips relaxing. Glancing up, his eyes clashed with hers, he saw the desire there, saw that she liked it, but she was still unsure as to whether to let him continue.

He didn't wait for her to make the decision, he lowered his head down and stroked his tongue across her, intimately. With each stroke of his tongue her body trembled. He smiled when he heard low, muffled, cries coming from her as he delved more deeply in to her with his tongue. Not so quiet now, he thought.

He began stroking his fingers over her clitoris, making her buck her hips up at his tantalising touch. He liked the reactions he got from her, it was intoxicating, knowing that he's the first one to pleasure her like this. Each response he got from her, just heightened his own arousal, so much so, that he's painfully aware, of how aroused he was. His body throbbed harder in response to the muffled cries she gave.

As he slipped a finger inside her body, he felt her pushing her hips against his hand. She was almost at the pinnacle of pleasure and he wanted to push her over it. Lowering his mouth down, he flicked his tongue over her clitoris. She lost any control she'd been trying to hold on to at that point, her body convulsed with her climax. Her cries got so loud that he was convinced that Lucas would hear her. But he didn't stop as she writhed beneath his hands and mouth, he carried on stroking, caressing, until the tremors in her body stopped.

His arousal was throbbing painfully as he crawled up, over her body, letting his weight settle over her. He groaned as his erection jerked in response to the feel of being nestled against her stomach.

The rain became even heavier, so heavy it was like a curtain surrounding them, luckily, the trees kept most of the rain off them. Then the lightening forked across the sky, followed a few moments later by the rumbling sound of thunder, the thunder was so loud it seemed to shake the ground.

His senses became heightened, he wasn't sure if it was the thunderstorm that was raging overhead, or the knowledge that tomorrow he could die, but he'd never felt more alive than he did right now.

The cool breeze blowing across his heated skin, doesn't even register with him, he's too hot and aroused to even feel it. He caressed his hand along her thigh, lifting it up he hooked it over his hip. His arousal throbbed at the intimate contact with her. He slowly pressed his erection in, the warmth, and tightness, of her body surrounded his flesh, making him throb and pulsate almost uncontrollably. A few cool drops of rain splattered on to his skin and he shivered and arched his back, plunging his erection deeply. She wrapped both of her legs around him, and her heels dug in to the small of his back causing his shaft to slip just that little bit deeper.

Feeling so alive and so aroused, he pulled his hips back, withdrawing almost totally before driving back in to her. All he wanted at this precise moment was to feel. He doesn't care about anything else except the pleasure that he was feeling right now. The thunder and lightening raged and clashed all around them. He couldn't stop kissing her as she cried and sobbed with the force of his driving thrusts in to her. Her hands stroked and clenched over his back, her nails dug in painfully, as he filled her totally.

His orgasm rose with each thrust, as did Nisha's. He felt her pushing her hips up to meet each driving thrust. Her breathing quickened and he held on to her tightly as she cried out, her body writhing beneath him. His own climax was so close, and he strove for that last stroke which would cause him to explode and spill deeply within her.

Finding that last stroke he took it, the thunder and the lightening coincided with his explosive release, making him cry out at the shattering force of his orgasm. Ripples of pleasure snaked down the length of his spine, making him arch his back involuntary as his body trembled.

He sank down heavily against her, the tremors still rippling over his skin. After a long while he pulled away from her and laid beside her, pulling the extra blanket over the two of them. He fell asleep with his arms wrapped around her waist.

ooooo

Sheppard jerked awake and quickly looked at his watch, it was 1.30am in the morning and Nisha was fast asleep. Now would be a good time to see if he could do anything to escape. He untangled himself from Nisha and pulled his clothes on, then he slowly, and carefully, started walking away from her.

He took every step cautiously, expecting to feel pain with each step forward. He was feeling quite pleased with himself, that was until the pain suddenly hit, vibrating through his muscles, causing his whole body to tense and spasm, with pain.

Sinking down to the floor, he bit back the cry that was lodged in his throat, he didn't want to alert Nisha or Lucas as to what he was doing. He crawled back, inch by inch, until the pain suddenly ceased as quickly as it had started. He gasped for air, his body trembling with the aftermath of pain.

It's over half an hour before he regained any kind of equilibrium. He looked at Nisha, at the controller around her neck. She said it wouldn't zap him so he gingerly touched it, he was still expecting to feel pain from it, thankfully he didn't. Lifting it up he turned it over and looked at the symbols on it. He didn't have a clue as to what any of them meant, he let go of it.

He might as well join her seeing as he couldn't escape, he thought. He stripped his clothes off and laid beside her. She was practically lying on her stomach, so he snuggled up to her back and wrapped his arms around her, pushing his knee between her legs and resting his head on her back.

He couldn't resist kissing her shoulders and stroking his tongue along her spine. The feel of her body arching at the touch, made him smile. How easy it was to get a reaction out of her, whether it be through sex or through manipulating her mind. He liked it. Pulling her closer he settled down to sleep.

Nisha couldn't stop her response when she felt his tongue stroking over her skin. But he didn't realise that she was awake. She just laid there listening to him slip in to sleep, tears slowly fell down her cheeks. She knew he was counting on her to let him go, that he thought, making love to her would further her decision to release him. The tears fell harder, because she knew it didn't matter how much she would love to release him, she couldn't.

TBC...
