A/N: Hey there! I just started replaying Andromeda and have a decent idea of where this story is going. But at the moment I'm working on 3 different project so progres will be slow.
The first section of this chapter deals with the changes in Kadara. It goes slightly off-canon and will have a major impact on my retelling of Andromeda.
I didn't intend to spend so much time on the second section, but hey, smut's fun to write!
Chapter 13, Kadara flux
The next day she left the Tempest early. She found him in the company of Keema Dohrgun and over the next few hours she learned much from the angaran as the three of them discussed the future of Kadara. They explored how the initiative could help the newly established rulers. Reyes was also keen on showing the Nexus leadership that he wanted to help them - he and the pathfinder agreed on a location for a settlement and she set things in motion. By the end of the morning the first shuttles arrived to prepare for the outpost.
He gets things done. Fast!
After lunch they'd set up a meeting with a few doctors, the head of his security and a large group of civil servants. How to tackle the huge drug problem on Kadara? She was also invited, sitting opposite of the round table and received inquisitive stares from the other attendees.
No matter. They have to get used to the initiative being involved.
Reyes was reading their minds and took the bull by the horns. "I'd like to introduce the human pathfinder, Stephanie Ryder. Yes, we are now allies with the Initiative. I like to think that with Sloane's death, the resentment towards the Nexus died too. We can, and will work together for the future of Kadara. Any objections?"
Keema quickly broke the silence with her sweet voice. "You are most welcome, Stephanie Ryder. We're looking forward to a productive partnership with the Initiative."
Steph shook the angaran's hand. "Let's make that happen. Let's build a strong partnership, for a better future."
Keema's eyes sparkled. "I know you rescued our Moshae. You are a friend to the angara. You have a friend in me, Stephanie Ryder."
"Good." Vidal nodded, "Steph is the representative for the initiative. Better get used to seeing her around. Any questions?"
Silence.
"Ok. Let's continue."
A doctor outlined the drug problem, giving detailed percentages and Ryder cringed as she realized the extent of the issue.
Even worse than I thought.
Vidal had come prepared. "Supply and demand," he stated, "we've got to address both sides of the coin. With her death, the supply side has been dealt a huge blow. But that's not enough." He eyed his head of security. "From this point on, you are tasked with the destruction of all drug labs and plantations on Kadara. Keema can also give you leads into Sloane's network. Is that clear?"
"Yes sir."
"Good." He looked over the round table. "Demand. We have to give the people of Kadara a better life and provide them with a rewarding future. That should reduce the demand for drugs."
She studied him. He's got ideas. He's been preparing for this moment.
"How will we do that? I have plans. Decent schools and decent jobs. We will transform Kadara into..."
As he went on-and-on she focused on his facial expression. His strong features softened as he spoke about his people. It was clear he was determined to make Kadara a better place. Much better. He cared for his fellow men.
Wonderful. He's a compassionate leader. We need more like him. How will Kadara look like a year from now?
"... have to fix the water. Our planet's like a paradise. Now imagine what it will look like with normal water."
He turned to her. "Pathfinder, I know you have experience with Monoliths and Vaults. Let's co-operate to get our vault up and running. I believe this will restore the water and that will greatly increase the quality of life on Kadara."
Exactly what she wanted. She gave him thumbs up. "Sounds great. Count on me."
The head of security spoke up. "Reyes, our port has been built by people who were exiled by the Nexus. What makes you think they will accept an Initiative outpost, or meddling in our affairs?"
He smiled. Looked at her with warm affection. They all had to see it. "It will take time. But if our lovely Pathfinder can alter the water, I believe the people of Kadara will warm up to the Nexus."
She blushed lightly. Lovely pathfinder! Keema playfully winked at her.
"When the water's restored, when supplies and medical help arrives the people will forget our resentment. I believe this."
They frowned, but remained silent.
"Keema will handle the day-to-day affairs. I will focus more on the long-term projects. She is my right hand, as I am hers."
The angaran rose. "This planet used to be exclusive to my race. A lot has happened since then. I want all races to feel welcome and at home on Kadara. I believe that a unified existence is so much better than a scattered life. Please join me in building a peaceful community." She took her time, inspecting the faces and reactions around the table.
"Anything else?" Vidal stated.
"Excellent." He was silent for a few seconds and the attendants were starting to rise.
"One last thing." He raised his voice. "The name 'charlatan' belongs in the past. It died with Sloane, just like our anger towards the Nexus will disappear. Today is the first day of a new Kadara. Let's work together and create a better place. For me, for you. For the future generation. We've only just started our lives here in Andromeda, let's make it even better than we imagined."
While speaking he looked at each of their faces. In the end, he found her eyes. "Why not shoot for the moon? Kadara can be a paradise!"
After the meetings she left for the Tempest for a change of clothes and to prepare for the evening.
"Well well," Vetra teased as she inspected Ral's elegant black dress, "where's the initiative drab? It must be a special evening!"
"Uhm... well, kinda."
"I believe it. Does it have anything to do with a certain gentleman that you spend yesterday and all of today with?"
"...kinda..." She tried her utmost to sound uninterested and hoped that Vetra would go away. But the turian was just warming up.
"You look lovely." Vetra grinned. She checked out the mess hall. It was deserted. Time for the truth. "You like 'm?"
Ral blushed and appeared to be incredibly busy with the microwave which was enough answer for the Turian.
"Nice. I'm happy for you Ryder. Life is so much better with love."
"Oh it's not like that... I mean..."
"Hey guys." Peebee darted into the Mess hall. "Wow Steph you look scrumptious! Special occasion?"
"Her boyfriend's coming over." Vetra helped.
Peebee looked puzzled. "What? Boyfriend? ...The charlatan guy?"
"That's him. Ryder's trying to ignore my questions but I see it in her eyes."
"Stop it!" She faced them with an annoyed smile, "he's not my boyfriend. Yes, we like each other. Yes he's coming over. Happy now?"
Vetra purred. "I knew it. Can't wait to tell Drack!" She ran off.
Ryder sighed. In about 5 minutes the entire Tempest would know she was having 'date night' with her new boyfriend. Great.
She turned to Peebee. "Listen, we can ta-"
"Have a good time. Bye!" The maiden bolted for the door, leaving Ryder feeling even more flustered.
"..."
She rolled her eyes. Whatever.
She did not want to let Vetra's and Peebee's reactions bother her. It had been a hectic few days and this was her moment to relax. She wanted to let her hair down. She was looking forward to a lovely evening with him and that was exactly what was going to happen!
She checked the straps of her dress. Flashed a naughty smile. She knew she looked good. She knew she had a fit body. Dinner and more. If it was up to her, more was definitely happening.
"Hey Ryder. My! You look great!"
"Hey you. Welcome on the Tempest." She took a hold of him and passionately kissed him. She wanted to let him know how much she liked him.
He was all smiles. "That's quite a welcome!" He opened a package and presented her with...
"A rose? Where did you get that?" Filled with wonder she brought the red flower to her nose and inhaled. "Smells great... " A quick peck on his cheek, "just like you!"
She had no clue where'd magicked up a rose. Did those things even exist on Kadara?
"My!" He eyed her up and down, drinking in the sight. She'd put a cute curl in her vibrant auburn hair. Her shoulders were bare, except for the straps of her sexy black dress. It fit her like a glove, revealing the perfect curves of her large breasts, her slim waist. Touching her arm he admired her youthful skin. Her deep blue eyes smiled at him with a warm invitation.
"You're the most b-beautiful woman I've ever seen," he stammered, meaning every single word. She was enchanting, a sexy temptress out of a dream. He affectionately stroked her shoulder, her arm. The idea of spending the evening with her was making him dizzy with excitement. "I want you." He whispered, voice filled with longing.
"Same here..." she purred. "Today was a long day with meetings... but for you and me, let's see what the night brings... "
Exactly what he wanted. "That sounds great. I really like you Steph. I'd love to see where this leads... what do you say, shall we make it official?"
"You mean... as in relationship? Sure let's give it a go. I like you too. You're a good guy."
Holding hands they smiled at each other, cherishing the moment. He leaned in. She pulled him closer and they tenderly kissed.
"Mujer h-hermosa... you amazing woman... you make me so happy..."
She loved his sweet words. Her big bright eyes sparkled with life. "I should... we should..." Their tongues found each other and they were completely lost, passionately kissing in a whirlpool of desire. She was already pulling his shirt out of his pants, eager to feel his naked skin.
The food was getting cold.
They finally found their way to the Captain's cabin. She'd made preparations - the place was comfortable warm, almost hot. She placed the rose in a long, thin vase while he put their trays on the table.
Dinner was over in ten minutes, neither cared for the food. During dessert he kissed her neck while unzipping her dress. Like a lightning bolt she squirmed out of it, eager to be naked with him.
Like horny teenagers they plucked on each other's clothes. His shirt and pants were gone in a flash. They kissed again as he reached to undo her bra.
"You work fast." She grinned as she bared her breasts. She loved the way his eager eyes pulled on her flesh. It felt good to be admired and she couldn't help but feel proud of her curved body.
"My!" Barely believing his eyes he cupped her large tits, cherishing the weight, the wonderful firmness. Holding his breath he stared at her stunning body. "Lovely... mi mujer..."
Her smooth skin was a marvel. He hummed with pleasure as he sensed her shiver. "Mmm..."
She was having a wonderful time. His warm hands felt great! Her breasts were glowing with need, even more so as he tenderly rubbed her nipples. She sensed her arousal skyrocketing - she wanted him now!
"Let me just... waitasec..." She ripped of her panties and pushed him, making him fall backwards on her large bed.
"So forceful, Pathfinder!"
"Let's say I know what I want, Charlatan."
She straddled him, positioning herself on his abdomen. She took his hands and forcefully placed them on her breasts. " I know exactly what I want..."
Feeling his strong hands playing with her tits was driving her higher and higher. Hissing with lust she sensed her nipples tightening. "Oh n-nice... all yours... I love what you're d-doing..."
She placed her hands on his shoulders, admiring his muscular upper body. So strong! Reveling in all the lovely sensations she started rocking, grinding her core over his muscular abdomen. "Oh! Oh yesss..."
It was scandalous. She became aware of her pussy. Wet. Needy. He had to feel it - he was grinning like a wolf and picked up the pace, eagerly squeezing her boobs while she rode him. "That's r-right..." she panted, "feel that? Feel h-how wet you got m-me?"
To emphasize her point she inched forward, sliding her moist crotch over his belly. Her breasts dangled in front of his face. He didn't need any hints as he opened his mouth and sucked her creamy flesh. With his hands and mouth he got busy, exploring every inch of her tits, licking and sucking in a wild rush of excitement.
"Oh... Oh yes!" She felt his hot lips on her nipple as he worshipped the aroused nub. "That's it! That's f-fucking it! Suck me... suck my boobs!" She placed one hand on his hair. For a solid minute she took her pleasure, loving her strong position.
"Come closer," he finally panted, gently tapping her hips, "come sit on my face. I want your pussy. I want to t-taste your pussy."
"I like the way you think..." Stephanie purred. Slowly, sensually she inched forward, one leg on either side of him. She sensed his urgency as he put his strong hands on her thighs.
She placed one hand on his black hair and positioned her sex over his mouth. It only took a second before she felt him kissing her cunt. "Ah!"
He started out by dragging his tongue up and down, parting her folds and eagerly licking her inner lips. She felt her nerves blazing with need and groaned with pleasure. "Oh that's nice... oh yes..."
After a while she felt his lips on her folds, gently sucking her heated flesh while his fingers feathered her inner thigh and the ultra sensitive skin next to her slit.
"Oooo Reyes... oh! That f-feels good... that f-feels so fucking good!" Her body was throbbing with need but she still wanted more. With her index finger she boldly started stimulating her clit, rubbing in slow, deliberate circles. "Damn!"
He could barely believe his eyes. From his position he could see all of her - and he couldn't stop looking. Stunning. He watched her wet finger as she played with her clitoris, the red nub magnificently visible. "Mghh..." The tiny strip of pubic hair just above. Her incredibly taut stomach. Wow. His eyes drifted higher still. The underside of her flawless boobs which swayed with her movement. Higher still. The lovely features of her face, frozen in an expression of wanton pleasure.
She was incredibly beautiful, incredibly sexual and he couldn't stop looking.
"Mmm!" Thrilled to the max he hummed into her wet flesh, adoring the feeling of her silken pussy. Tightening his grip on her hips he stiffened his tongue and probed her entrance. He felt her shiver and pushed on, easing his tongue into her juicy cunt.
"Oh!"
She pulsed with wetness. And she tasted great!
Fuck yes!
Salty and sweet. Smacking his lips he cherished her juices. "N-Nice!"
He placed his hands on her ass and pulled her towards him, using the leverage to plunge his stiff tongue inside. Taking her delighted whimpers as encouragement he started thrusting in and out, passionately tongue-fucking her in a celebration of raw desire.
"Oh yes!" Her fingers tightened in his hair. She loved what he was doing and wanted even more. "Ooooh yesss... do me like t-that... just like t-that..."
She started bucking and felt his warm hands guiding her to match his rhythm. He was such an attentive lover! Soon enough she was riding his face, eagerly rolling her hips, sensing his tongue doing wonderful things between her legs.
"Fuck... m-me... fuck m-me...! Oh Reyes... I love w-what you're doing... fuck... my p-pussy... I want y-you to fuck my pussy!"
Moaning like a woman possessed she sensed her sexual need, hot and wet, building in her belly. She clawed at his hair, adoring this hunk of a man who was making her feel so very good.
"Yes! Oh yes!" Her legs shivered. Nearly her entire sex was enveloped by his hot mouth. He was hungrily eating her out and the amazing sensations were making her lose her mind. "Agh! Fuck!"
For a few glorious minutes they moved as one, joined together in a whirlpool of desire. He was devouring her. She could barely remember anyone making her feel this good. Her moans were getting louder, her movement more frenzied.
"H-how's that .." Hissing with pleasure he flattened his tongue and licked all over her soaked sex, making sure to brush against her clit on the upswing. "How's t-that?"
"Oh! I love it! I l-love your tongue on my c-clit! Do me! Do m-me just like t-that!"
"Gladly." In a rush of heat he slurped on her pussy, relentlessly teasing her throbbing clit.
Her nails dug into his shoulder, nearly scratching him. He didn't mind. In fact, feeling her excitement was a huge thrill.
She squirmed in his hands, her hips rolling decadently. "So c-close... I'm so fucking c-close!"
"Nice!" He heard the urgency in her voice. She was going to come. Because of him. With a low growl he squeezed her ass, pressing her heated cunt into his mouth. He flicked his tongue back and forth, rapidly licking her clit.
"Oh! Oh!"
She was taling short little gasps. He noticed her tense muscles, aching to release. "Go ahead... Mujer!"
"AAGH! OH! F-FUCK!"
Screaming out loud she trembled on top of him, eagerly falling into her orgasm.
"AH! AH!"
He was in heaven. Her pussy was oozing, leaking her come into his mouth. Tasting her sweet honey on his tongue felt extremely naughty. His eyes widened as he watched her climax, beautifully undulating in the most erotic way. My!
She showed no signs of slowing down. With his strong hands he held her hips, adoring the way she trembled. She was moaning non-stop, incredibly sexual noises, music to his ears. The orgasmic sights and sounds caused his body to throb with need. He sensed his cock, almost painfully hard, aching for friction.
A low, guttural moan escaped her lips. "Oooohhh..."
"Mujer h-hermosa." He breathed, supporting her as he felt her body go limp.
"Wow." She was still shivering with aftershocks as she touched his hair again. Feeling hot and buzzy she smiled at him. "Ho-ly shit! You made me come so f-fucking hard!"
She glanced over her shoulder. The large tip of his cock was sticking out from under the waistband of his grey boxers. "Oh!" It was one of the most erotic things she'd ever seen and she could hardly wait to uncover all of him.
"Let me take care of you."
"Please." He grabbed her wrist. "Turn. Turnaround. Sixty-nine. I want more of you. I can't get enough of you. I can't get enough of your pussy. I love your pussy!"
"Naughty. I like."
She carefully lifted her leg, staying on top of him while she turned. A few seconds later she was facing his meaty dick. She felt his hands on her hips, guiding her to his mouth. He was treating her so well! Inching backwards she looked inbetween their bodies. "Further? Tell me when to stop."
She saw the devilish smile on his face just before he kissed her cunt. "Mmm!"
She shoved the grey boxers down. His cock was bigger than she remembered. She enthusiastically closed her right hand around the massive shaft, noticing how he jerked as she touched him. "Hihi. Sensitive, right?"
He groaned and she started by gently pumping her hand up and down. The tip was already glistening.
"Beautiful..." Oh-so-gently she pulled back the foreskin and started spreading his wetness all over the mushroom-shaped cockhead. She loved the intimate pink color and licked her lips as she played with him.
He groaned again. After a full minute he couldn't wait any longer and she noticed the hunger in his voice. "Could you...?"
So fun to hear his need! "Sure." Leaning forward she licked the swollen head. After the first taste she decided she liked it and happily licked all over, making sure to tease around the edges. A razor-thin line of wetness trailed from her mouth to the tip.
"Mgghh!" He jerked and she felt his strong body trembling under her.
"Ha!" His dick throbbed in her hands and a wicked sensation blossomed in her belly. Doubling her efforts she licked along his entire length, up and down, cherishing the obscene noises escaping him.
Must be doing something right!
After a while she pushed her lips in an O shape and landed them on top of his dick, slowly sliding down, cherishing the thickness entering her mouth. "Mmm!"
It was hot in her bedroom. She felt a drop of sweat on her back. His warm hands were kneading her ass, heating her flesh.
Having already come she did not expect to feel so primed, but hey, she happily took it. Nice! I'm so fucking horny!
Panting with raw pleasure she knew it wouldn't take much to get her going again. "Ugh!" Her body shivered as he kissed her clit, shockwaves of lust rippling through her abdomen. "Oh Reyes!" She wanted more. Feeling very greedy she pulled on her ass cheek.
He responded as she'd expected. She sensed his hands on her butt, his fingers slipping through her crack. "Mgh!" Whimpering with need she tried to encourage him and was not disappointed as he tightened his hold, roughly groping her ass while his sweet tongue relentlessly teased her swollen clit.
"AAAGH! YES!" It felt amazing. He was working every inch of her heated core and she sensed a blazing love for this man who was giving her such wonderful sensations. "Reyes... oh Reyes... touch me... t-touch me anywhere... oh yes I love it!" She was literally sobbing, gyrating her ass.
Determined to give as good as she was getting she sealed her lips around the tip of his cock and passionately bobbed up and down, making sure her tongue was pressing the ultra-sensitive spot underneath. She cupped his balls and gently fondled them. They felt red-hot in her hand. Her other hand pumped the base of his massive dick. The huge mushroom-shaped head twitched in her mouth and she heard him groan with excitement.
Oh yesss... I want you. I want to suck your dick... What a nice dick...
With every upswing she allowed it to slip out, only to take it right back in her mouth. She knew this friction was driving him crazy.
"Yes! Just like t-that..." She heard him groan, desire oozing in his voice. "suck me... suck my d-dick! J-Just like t-that! Oh Goodness!"
"I bet you say that to all the girls..." She teased, her tongue sliding along his cock, "I love the way you taste..." she smacked her lips, cherishing his wetness. Eager for more she kept going and it didn't take long before she felt him twitch again.
Soon. He's gonna blow soon.
She wanted this to last. Allowing his dick to slip out of her mouth she grinned. Time to show of her flexibility!
She parted her legs wider and wider, straightened her knees till she was spread-eagled on top of him. In this position she couldn't support herself so all her weight was on top of him. She was convinced he didn't mind. She angled her hips, sticking her ass up, blatantly presenting her swollen cunt.
"My!"
She heard him gasping behind her and smiled. Once upon a time in college a girl had shown her this wonderful position so she could easily picture what he was staring at right now. She was completely, shamelessly exposed and it was making her feel wonderfully perverted. She sensed his body tightening under her.
"Oh! Steph!" He sounded hoarse with admiration.
"You like that? You like my pussy?" She breathed, her throaty voice oozing sex, "you want it?"
"Mghhh..."
"Good. I want you. I want you to use your fingers. I want you inside of me."
Just a second later he embraced her suggestion and she felt his probing fingers. "Gah!" Her cunt deliciously stretched around the invaders and her eyes rolled back. Deeper still, she could feel his digits pushing her inner walls apart. "That's what I want... I want to feel you inside... yes! Do it! F-Fuck me Reyes, I want you to fuck me!"
He was a good listener. Only a second later she noticed him driving in and out in a deliberately slow tempo, making her yearn for more. She wanted it. "Fuck me! Harder! Fuck me harder!"
He picked up the pace and she whimpered incoherently, delighting in the wonderful penetration. "G-Good... s-so good... my pussy... keep going... p-please keep going..."
Her thighs shivered. Wet sopping sounds accompanied his thrusts and they both reveled in the wonderfully obscene noises.
"T-That's right..." she whimpered, feeling his strong, powerful movements rocking her, "I love it! Fuck me! Fuck my pussy! l-love the way you're f-fucking me!"
"Tight..." he murmured into her wet flesh, "you're so t-tight... and wet..." Barely believing his eyes he watched his fingers sliding in-and-out of her glistening cunt. He marveled at the feeling of her silken heat. Lovely.
White cream was oozing from her wide-open slit. Filled with wonder he touched the tempting wetness. "My!"
A surge of pleasure rocked him. Feeling her hot lips sliding up and down his shaft was making him gasp for air. "Oh... oh..." Without thought his hips started bucking, thrusting into her.
Laying on top of him she felt his every move. She opened up, allowing him to fuck her mouth. It felt wonderful as he plunged into her, again and again and she mewled as he almost pushed it down her throat. "M-Mgghh! Y-Yes!"
Her pussy screamed with joy, getting penetrated with rapid, fiery thrusts. Trembling with pleasure she sensed him brushing against her G-spot. "Mgh!" She wanted to cry out with excitement but that proved to be difficult as her mouth was filled with his big dick.
The heated, thick smell of sex hung between them. For a second the only sounds heard were their wet sloppy noises. Absorbed in their wicked 69 they utterly ravaged each other, longing for ecstasy.
"S-Steph!" Hoarse with lust he screamed her name. "I'm s-so close! So c-close!"
Hearing him use her name with such urgency made her dizzy with pleasure. She felt his balls tightening, felt his body trembling.
He's gonna come! He's gonna come in my fucking mouth!
"G-Give it to me. F-Fill me up!" She took him incredibly deep while her fist relentlessly pumped the huge shaft.
"GAH! OH!" He shivered with pleasure. His dick erupted, shooting jets of come down her throat.
Fuck yes! In a flash she swallowed. Just in time as he kept going, unloading into her mouth while he trembled with bliss.
She adored his wild climax. His entire body shook under her and she heard him groaning with each spurt. Fucking hell! Fuck me!
His sticky wetness covered the roof of her mouth. She sensed it leaking down her throat. A thick glob landed on the center of her tongue. Damn!
Feeling his climax, being filled with his semen caused her to burn with lust. She wanted it. "Mghh!" She rolled her hips, impaling herself on his fingers in the most delicious way. Her clit throbbed as she felt his tongue rapidly flicking over her needy bud. "Aaagh! Oh!"
With the most obscene pop his wet dick slipped out of her mouth and she arched her back, aching for her orgasm. "I wanna c-come! Keep g-going! I wanna c-come! Kiss my cunt... my cunt!"
More than anything he wanted to give her pleasure. "Oh yesss..." He hissed, wantonly fucking into her slippery heat.
"Mmghh..." Trembling with excitement she felt it coming. Then he licked her clit and her world exploded into fiery sparks.
"AAAAGH! OH! OH! YES!"
Screaming at the top of her lungs she beautifully twitched on top of him. Her pussy was clenching, forcefully squeezing his slick fingers and the incredible sensation was blowing her mind.
"C-COMING! I'M F-FUCKING C-COMING!"
Pulsing with pleasure she sensed a wet rush. "Gah!" She felt his tongue lapping it up. Knowing he was tasting her come was too hot for words. "Reyes! Fuck me! Oh f-fucking hell I love how you f-fuck me! Don't stop! Don't s-stop!"
In one rapid move she stuffed his dick back in her mouth and passionately sucked on the juicy meat. Groaning and moaning they clung to each other, ablaze in a storm of lust.
Hours later the night found them cuddled under the blanket. They'd thoroughly exhausted each other. He was sound asleep, she was caught on the warm edge between dream and reality.
"Mmm..." Purring with satisfaction she inched backwards, getting even closer to his hot self. Now that was a night to remember!
She looked at the rose on her nightstand. Lovely. Oh-so-carefully she stroked the strong arm wrapped around her waist. She didn't want to wake him after all. The comfortable warmth, the hot smell of sex and feeling his naked body pressing against hers was soothing her sleepy mind and she drifted off, completely content with the world.
