Reyes finished with Tann, he'd made a new alliance with the Initiative. Now making more money with the crate runs the Collective did. He also split more and better resources with the Outpost on Kadara. Tann owed him that, Reyes had pointed out he gave the outpost full protection for no charge. He did that for Sara however.

Ryder was waiting against the wall outside when Reyes came out. He smiled at her, she wasn't. She grabbed his hand and dragged him along. "What's wrong?" he asks.

Ryder gets them on the lift to the apartment blocks. Ryder rented one out after pretty much losing the one on the Hyperion. She was barely ever there and wanted a place to rest than just the Tempest when docked with the Nexus. "I've not had sex in six weeks, we are about to fix that," she whispers. Reyes smirks at her, squeezing her thigh as they sit close together. "SAM, unless someone is dying, don't let anyone interrupt."

"Understood, Ryder," SAM replies. He then disconnects himself, his logs shutting off as he lets them be alone. Ryder knew she'd never truly be alone, but he at least tried by deactivating his logs for a while.

"How did it go with Tann?" Reyes leans back, crossing one leg over the other.

"Fine, let's not speak about this right now. I just want us," he says. Ryder leans over, catching his lips. It was only a short one when the lift stopped at their floor. "Lead the way, dove," he murmured.

Ryder pulls him along down the long halls of apartment doors. Finally getting to her own, she unlocks it and lets him inside. Reyes takes his shoes off and then turns to see the small but homey apartment. Ryder had decorated it with holos of home and some of her ship statues. It had a king-size bed in the middle, and two white bedside tables on each side. A kitchenette and across them was a long four-seater sofa and huge vid screen that took up most of the wall.

She had an oak coffee table, the sofa was dark grey with some blankets and small pillows on it. "Homey," he comments. Ryder smiles, nodding as she takes her jacket and shoes off. She heads to the bathroom.

"Give me a minute, go sit," she calls as she closes the door. Reyes raised a brow at her, they never really closed the door fully on each other. He thought he heard the shower running. He checks his emails, only seeing some from Keema about receiving the contracts from Tann.

He takes his shirt off, like the cool air that came from the AC, it was a welcomed breeze to the scorching heat of Kadara. He sits patiently in his tight jeans and socks, looking around at the statues attached to the left side of the wall. Ryder really liked collecting them.

"Reyes?" she calls from the door. He'd not hear her open it, he turns his head and almost faints as his eyes roam down her body.

Sara stood seductively against the door frame, wearing a tight red lingerie set. She even had tight bands around each thigh. "Fuck," Reyes grunts out. He can barely move, he was getting hard just looking at her.

"Do you like it?" Reyes can only nod with dry lips. He finally stands up, shuffling across the oak flooring. He picks her up, slamming her into the wall as he aggressively attacks her lips. Ryder moans louder, her legs wrapping around her waist.

"You are fucking beautiful," he groans against her lips. Ryder takes his bottom lips between her teeth, pulling lightly before letting go. Reyes licks her neck, nibbling slowly down her shoulder.

He turns to carry her to her bed, laying her down gently as he hovers over her. He savoured the sight of her spread out for him, legs wide. Hair wild above her, her chest rising and falling heavily. He kissed down her chest, the lingerie was nice, but it blocked his access to her boobs. He pulls it down with a grunt, Ryder hisses as his warm lips suck and bite the side of her boobs. He then traps her nipple between his thumb and index finger.

Ryder bucks her hips at him. Reyes looks up, smirking before going to work giving her other breast the same attention. Her hands fall to his hair, pushing him down with approving moans. Reyes trails kisses over the red silk, he gets to her pelvis, running a finger down the creases of her hips. Ryder giggles, it was ticklish.

He looks up at her, his hands steadily holding each thigh. He decides to go even lower, he finds the band around her left thigh. He puts it between his teeth and slowly starts to pull it down her leg. He is painfully slow with it, Ryder was going crazy as she squirmed into the cover.

Once he gets it down to her ankle, he just pulls it off with his hand, letting it drop off the bed. Ryder then bends her leg and places her foot against his chest. "Didn't I say? This is your birthday present," she says with a dry voice. She licks her lips looking at his bare chest.

"I'm the gentlemen, Ryder," he huskily says. Ryder shakes her head, sitting up and pulling him to lay down. She undoes his jeans, Reyes lifts his hips to help her.

"I don't want you to be a gentleman, Reyes," she replies as she kisses her way up his legs. He can only groan as she places her warm fingers around his hard dick. "You missed this?"

"Course-" he moans loudly when she catches him off guard licking the tip. He instantly pulls on her hair, and Ryder whines as he does. He let go, she was struggling to keep her head straight. He pushes his head into the mattress when she fully takes him, pumping the bottom where her lips couldn't reach.

"Sara," he groans. She hums against him, he only doubled over the sensation of her throat vibrating was astonishing. She pulled her lips back, and then licked up his full length. Reyes really couldn't handle much more of it.

He pulls her up, she looks at him confused. "I won't last much longer if you keep doing that," he explains. She chuckles and lets him lay her down. He was about to pull her pants down but was surprised to see a hole in the middle of them. "There is a hole?" he questions.

"Better access," Ryder answers.

"You naughty girl," he says with a thick tone. Reyes didn't mind, he pushed his fingers through the hole, letting her wetness swallow them. Ryder throws her head back, her toes curled as he pumped inside her. "Stay still," he ordered. She couldn't, her hips bucked.

"Ryder!" he sternly says. She just moans in reply. He smirks, holding himself on bent legs, he holds her hips down hard with his free hand, she could move her bottom half. He then fingers her hard and fast. Ryder cries in pleasure. "Cum for me, dove," he calls over her loud moans.

"Reyes," she moans as he lets her hips go and she almost lifts herself right into his chest. He pulls his hand out feeling her cum against his fingers. Ryder curled her body up as she shook down from her high. Reyes pulls her towards the end of the bed, turning her to bed in front of him. He pumps his dick with his wet fingers before slamming inside her.

It took all his might not to finish at that moment. Ryder leans back and lowers herself so her chest is down against the bed. Her ass raises up towards Reyes's stomach, he spanks her hard. "Fuck," she screams. "Fuck me, Reyes. Please," she begs.

Reyes leans over, grabbing a handle of her hair before pulling. Her neck is pulled back, her chin leaning up. He then holds her light hip as he did short, but hard thrusts into her. Ryder grunts in pleasure, her neck was strained as he pulled her hair hard.

"Do you love me?" he asks as he lets go of her hair and wraps his hand around her throat, making sure not to press too hard. Reyes could feel the outer rim of her outfit brush against the bottom of his shaft, it was an odd feeling to what he's used to but pleasurable.

Ryder tries to speak, but her words are gargled against her moans. Reyes felt his legs ache from keeping them so tense, he wasn't going to last much longer. He spanks her again, looking to see the side of her face. Her eyes were shut tight and her lips hung open.

Reyes fully took himself out and slammed back in a few times. The sixth one did it, his dick twitched against her soaking wet folds. "Mierda," he groans as his hips circles a few times. He lets Ryder go, she collapses into the bed, and he joins her.

"Jesus," she says with a dry tone. Her throat hurt, but she didn't care. Reyes pulls her into his chest, stroking her hair back from her sweaty shoulders and neck.

"You okay?" he asks looking down at her.

"Perfect," she tiredly replies. Reyes and Ryder just held each other, it didn't take long for either to fall asleep. Six weeks away was too much for either of them, they were too deep in their relationship to do it again. But their jobs were too much to just give up for each other.

SAM was going through normal data logs, passing the time with Ryder still being with Reyes. The crew had asked where they both were, in short, he just told them they were busy. His processors flagged an issue with the memory cores Alec had locked when Ryder became Pathfinder. He'd locked away many secrets from Sara, she had to unlock them with the progression she made as Pathfinder, most were family memories. Others the truth behind the Initiative and SAM's own reaction.

SAM can access it, it'd been overlooked as it was never unlocked before. It was a date unlocking tool, not a milestone like all the others. SAM goes through it, then he remembers it all. He needed to tell Scott, now!

A/N: One clue... Ellen. Stay tuned!
