I'm so very, very sorry for the looong wait. I truly am T.T It's hard to come up with good ideas after change of fandom. But here it is guys, the new chapter! I hope it's not disappointing (and not too M at the end o.o)
Please enjoy and I'm really sorry, again!

Chapter 13

"You…" Eva started, ignoring the surprised faces and the comical shocked face of Stan, looking at Aikka. "Did not just slap my ass." She finished, accusingly.

He grinned mockingly. "Before you kill me," He said with a teasing look at me. "I want you to know you've got the finest ass in this entire human world."

Jessica, wiggling in her seat, tried to keep the water she just drank inside as her hand clamped over her mouth.

Eva glared at him whilst totally ignoring the others. She'd make sure he'd pay later on. He obediently followed her with this knowing, amused smirk which made Jessica spit out her water and burst out in laughing. Eva glared harder. She was not in the mood for this.

Why'd he even showed up? Not only did he openly reject her last time (okay, maybe that was her fault for a tiny toddy bit as well…) but she also had a nightmare which clarified the meaning 'love bites'. She shivered.

"You're really angry about that? Come on Eve, loosen up." Aikka teased when they were outside of the base and Eva crossed her arms, continuing to walk towards the market. He'd either have to persuade her to go on a trip with G'dar with him, or she'd go treat herself to some expensive stuff on Stan's costs. He couldn't come because of the risk of them being seen together.

"Most women would be happy with a compliment like that. But then again, I wouldn't like you if you were like other women."

"Now I know a weak point. I might buy some girly stuff."

"Aw, no fair." He whined when she saw where she was heading. "You don't want to be with me?"

Eva shook her head and smiled at him when they both stopped walking. "We're not married, you don't need to go everywhere I go. Why don't you go and do some princely stuff so you won't have to complain about your work later."

"I don't complain."

"Remember the pun married?"

He bared his fangs in a teasing smile and shrugged. "I guess you're right. I'll be off then." He turned around and left without as much of a goodbye and Eva stuck out her tongue at him. He was disappointed, she could tell. Ah well.

Unfortunately her shopping time was dramatically decreased as she got a call to immediately return to base. Feeling quite cranky about it, Stan decided to take it easy on her and only gave her an easy mission, to collect someone important (he wouldn't tell, he never did) on the other side of town. Great.

He put her on a mission with someone she wasn't familiar with. A guy from about twenty five, and he was good with weapons. But not so much with the silence; and that was one of the things she was good in… they had to go back to the base first to make up a plan, because this wasn't going to work at all. And when they had that person they'd have to move even more careful.

"We're going back."

"Good idea." He smiled at her and moved to ruffle her hair when Eva turned around and left. He was a nice guy but they didn't have all the time of the world. "Come on."

She heard him walk behind her, and listened to the cracks of wood quite irritated.

Thump. Thump. Crack. He fell down (no wonder with that load of weapons), she presumed after some ruffling. Eva sighed.

"At least watch where you walk, I told you it's best not to make many sounds!" Eva turned around to snap at her colleague again , only to be met with something wet. She blinked and winced when the smell of iron merged with the smell of the woods and penetrated her sense of smell. That's when the shock kicks in, quickly followed with the normal reaction; run. Pushing the body off her, ignoring the insides that were right on her, Eva turned around and made a beeline through the woods. She had to get into the area of the base so the cameras will spot her. But not to the entrance. Damn it!

Turning around she made sure she went into a different area so she wouldn't give whoever was behind her free entrance. Hearing the sounds, it was only one big thing, and that meant Crogg. She hoped it was only one, and not travelling with silent Nourasians.

Eva concentrated. He wasn't very old, because he was quite agile. That would mean it was still a young Crogg, something like a teen or a young adult. They were smaller and that made it easier to move about. She scrunched her nose. What's he doing here on his own anyway?

Then something happened Eva would still kick herself for in the next few years, she did something that should be impossible. She tripped over her own feet.

Tumbling to the ground she crossed her arms in front of her head for protection and pulled her legs in, but not making it to the ground because she was hoisted up by her belt immediately.

"Clumsy girl."

"You're underweight louse." Eva spat at the black blur. Her sight focused and recovered to see it was indeed, a young Crogg. Where was she? Were there cameras here? Damn it, she didn't see anything recognizable. Stones, were there stones?

He tilted his head. "It makes it easier to move about, you figured that out already."

"Aren't you a smart ass."

"I'll go easy on you for that compliment." He ripped her belt off. Wait… what? Eva gaped when he bent over to her when she bounced back to the ground. He grabbed for her hair and she blindly kicked him, hoping it hit somewhere good. It didn't work much as his hand got hold of her shirt, tearing it off, grabbing her kicking legs. Eva, knowing what was about to happened, screamed as loud as she could. The cameras had weak hearing sensors.

"I'm still amazed how much sound you little humans can produce in times of captivation." He said amused and Eva kept on what she was doing, trying to get closer to her torn of belt, hearing the rips her jeans made when he clutched at it.

Eva cursed at herself when hot tears streamed down her face. This couldn't be happening. Not a Crogg for Christ's sake! Not him! Not here, not like this. Aikka… she wanted it to be him, much rather than this! She yelped when she felt a heavy weight at her legs. The Crogg was on the ground and Eva kicked, hoping he'd taken the wrong position with her legs.

"Get off me! Get off me!"

She kicked him off a little before someone pulled her right out. Burying her head into the chest whoever helped her, Eva lowered her crying to sniffing when she was enveloped in an embrace.

"It's okay, ssh, it's okay. Come," Someone she didn't recognize helped her up and put her own jacket around her. He wore clothes similar to the ones people on the base wear. There were cameras after all… Eva was set on remembering every place with cameras.

"I'm Rush from section 5. I'll bring you back to the base. Can you tell me your name?"

"Eva Wei," she rasped out, tears still streaming down her face, but less quick now. Leaning on the arm of the guy (he was quite tall… and muscled. Gee, she never noticed him before.)

"Okay then miss Wei. Up you go." He lifted her in his arms to Eva's surprise and steadily walked back to an entrance close by.

Eva just had to thank whoever decided fate a few times that day, for having Rush right there and for having Stan and Koji away right now. Jessica was there though, and Eva had to make her swear a few things.

"Do not tell anyone what happened." Eva looked around a little, hoping he wasn't already here. Jessica looked at her with a doubting look.

"Stan will notice something happened." She murmured.

"And when he asks you play dumb."

"What about your alien pet?" Eva glared at the comment and pulled the blanket a little closer to her. Thank the heavens she was close to the base and managed to alert some people. Otherwise… she didn't even want to think about it. Being raped by a Crogg would always end up in death. Especially when he knew you were with the resistance.

"Aikka doesn't need to know."

"If he notices something has happened he might trick me into saying it."

"He won't." Jessica gave her a pointed stare. They were silent for a while as Jessica finished treating the small scratch she obtained on her forehead and went to get some water for her.

"…Did you cry?"

Eva ignored her. She figured her eyes were still a little red, so she didn't had to answer her. The following three days were pretty quiet, seeing Stan knew something was wrong and gave Eva off. Jessica told him a whole fake story involving market, robbery and a fight with Aikka and he bought it after a few minutes, though he still eyed her suspiciously. Last called Nourasian didn't visit her either, and she didn't know whether she should be happy or not. At least the was happy for one thing; Stan wouldn't make a scene.

After these three days, Stan had forgotten is as Eva walked around happily again, and of course, when things calmed down in the base, Eva wasn't too surprised to see Aikka waltzing around the woods above the base. He knew pretty well Stan wasn't fond of him and wasn't going to test his limits.

So, alerted by someone from the monitors, she walked upstairs and quickly followed him when he smiled and began walking to where he probably had G'dar… parked.

"Guess the paperwork had doubled since last time?"

"Not exactly. I had… different matters." Eva frowned but ran up to him nonetheless to walk with him.

"Did anything happen to you when I was away?" He casually asked when they reached G'dar. As far as she could see the beetle was either resting or dreaming, but he was doing nothing, so… Eva resisted petting him, in fear he was indeed sleeping. She wouldn't want to wake the poor insect.

"Nope, nothing. Got a few days off."

"Why?"

"Oh, I've been a little gloomy, but that's all!"

She bit her lip as his hand shot out to trail her forehead, down her neck to her arms and over her hipbone. He frowned at her as if trying to see something that wasn't there, and rubbed his hand over her stomach, gouging her reaction. Eva raised her eyebrows.

"It doesn't hurt." He claimed, giving her a light push on her stomach.

"Why should it hurt?" Eva said after steadying herself and giving him a glare for the unexpected push. Aikka bared one of his fangs in a scowl and his look darkened.

"I was in one of the Croggs training rooms yesterday to discuss some matters with the head captain of that section. Of course many of them were bragging about useless things but one of them got my attention. Something about having his way with a human girl who had her hair died in black and red. I couldn't help but think of you. And when he mentioned something about her being in the resistance and having tattoos…"

Eva gulped. Rush didn't kill him?

"He's been taken care off."

"What do you mean?"

"I accused him of extortion and stealing. Something not taken highly in the Royal palace. He's been beheaded a few hours after that." He grinned for a second, as if enjoying the memory and Eva looked at him with a doubting look.

"It's really too bad I couldn't have killed him myself, but that would have raised suspicion. To think he wanted to take you, my woman, is one of the things I will not allow under any circumstances." He turned back to her and despite the darkened eyes and fangs, looked at her quite lovingly. Weird combination.

"He didn't take me." Eva quickly said, hoping it'd lessen whatever he was feeling. He nodded, as he already figured that out with the stomach incident.

"I don't want this to happen again. I won't allow someone else claiming you. I hope you understand… I need to have you, Eva, you need to know that you're mine."

Eva shivered as his fangs ghosted over her neck and shoulder, lightly scraping. "I feel so much sorrow in the fact that I cannot bite you." He whispered and Eva wondered how it would feel like. It would sting, but would it be pleasurable afterwards, like in those old stories? Or would it continue to sting and eventually burn?

"Please… allow me." He groaned out, lips resting on her neck. Eva's head shot back. No, he wouldn't bite her.

"Allow you what? A taste?" He nodded. Eva wondered whether she should give him what he wanted. Last time she offered it, he got all angry and told her about all the dangers and that he might not be able to control himself. But he seemed so different now, so desperate.

With a shaking hand, Eva brought her hand to her pocket and flicked out a pocket knife. She offered it to him before, she can give it him now. As long as he won't bite.

His eyes shot down to her hand, which raised up to her shoulder. He pushed the fabric away hungrily and she touched her skin with the knife, shivering at it's touch. Pushing harder, she felt her skin break at the metal and made a quick cut. That should be enough, right?

"It won't hurt." He promised, and before Eva could reply he latched onto her shoulder, sucking at it and his fangs pricked lightly at her skin.

Blinking, Eva tried not to push him away at the eerie feeling. He literally sucked it right out of her and it felt weird. It wasn't very painful but to say it was nice was something else. Holding on to him so she wouldn't fall down from the force, he clutched her waist and grinded against her in a steady pace matching his sucks, making her moan and throw her head back.

He continued this and backed her up until she was against G'dar, who made a light movement, but she didn't care much as he began stroking her arms and sides and hips, lapping at the cut and licking the blood up.

"Aikka," Eva ground out, tugging at his hair, releasing it from it's binds. He groaned in response, looking up only to kiss her so she tasted her own blood. Eva closed her eyes, wondering whether she should be disgusted but somehow it felt strangely exciting. She could hear her walkie talkie going of but it faded under the loud crunch that his hand made as he snapped it and threw it away.

He ended the kiss and rested his lips at her neck, probably feeling her blood as she panted for air. "We need to stop." He murmured and she panted out 'why' as her grip tightened. She wasn't about to let him go yet.

"Because if we don't, I'll take you." He threatened, lightly licking at her wound which just stopped bleeding. Eva shivered again, before bringing the knife up again and making a shallow cut at her other wrist, which just released it's iron grip on Aikka's hair. She felt him trembling against her as he focused on the drops of blood seeping out of the cut.

She only needed to lick at her wrist before he caved in.

R&R! :D
