The Deadliest Lifeform in the Universe Loves Me-Volume 3: Gamma-12, Chapter 3.22
Another few days passed, and it was time to change stations once more. This time we actually slept through the transfer, so when we woke up we found ourselves on
Utopia-11
. This station had more buildings than the others so far—more mini-cities with a lot more activities and entertainment. The paradise-core itself was a little different—no fun floaty gravity this time around. Instead, there was a system or series of beaches and lakes with black sand and crystal-clear water, with some golden clouds in the air that drizzled a gentle mist that was wildly soothing. It looked like there were dozens of different beaches, with some of the mini-cities built onto the water—people could swim or even ride boats into the buildings. We were still orbiting HHK-33, so our view in the sky hadn’t changed much, aside from those golden glowing clouds obscuring the view slightly.
Same as every morning, we met up with our teammates for breakfast and debriefing, and while some people were counting down the days until we transferred to
Hedonism-36
with no small amount of dread, everyone made sure to keep the peace at this point—no sense in fighting against what couldn’t be changed now.
“Sense anything of Gamma-12?” Roote asked without preamble—the way he always started the meetings.
Eve smiled brightly, “Nothing at all.”
Business already out of the way, it was time to shift the discussion to vacation activities.
“Anyone have plans for the day?” Zyno asked.
We had a little roundtable discussion, and for the first time ever we decided to go as an entire group with our team leaders and everything. We toured around the station for a bit, riding around the moving walkways and found some cute small town around a beach at the farthest end of the paradise-core. There were some restaurants and a bar, a couple shows to visit, and a small sim station, but we ended up spending quite a few hours at one place specifically.
Turns out the aliens had their own version of karaoke.
People were pushed and pulled on stage, singing all kinds of classic songs from every corner of the Empire. Gorgam sounded like a frog croaking while singing, and his duet with Sorra wasn’t much better with her soft warbling voice. Vinnago was surprisingly talented—or maybe it shouldn’t have been so surprising; the pretty boy could sing too. Lobae with her cute squeaky voice sounded adorable, but she didn’t seem to have much talent for rhythm. Kianna got seriously into it and sang more than anyone else in our group and was pretty good, but it was mostly just funny how she would belt out those notes with as small as she was. Densdor was a stick-in-the-mud and refused to sing, his yellow face turning bright red to match his beard—too embarrassed to participate. Zyno was awkward at first, but with some insistence from Yun (getting competitive again since there was some scoring metric) the two joined in and did surprisingly well. Roote and Uinda finally participated as well, but it took far too much convincing for them to relent and actually treat this like a fun outing for once—although their singing voices were completely mismatched, with Uinda having a nice, elegant voice, while Roote sounded like boulders rumbling together.
And then it was Eve’s turn, and while I always knew she had some kind of musical talent with her alluring little trills, I couldn’t believe how beautiful her singing voice was; it completely captivated the audience—awarded perfect scores on every song she sang. Over and over people demanded Eve sing another song, and she happily complied a few times in a row, but then pulled me up on stage with her. I didn’t think I ever had much talent for singing, but apparently even my average song-voice was pleasing to the audience—probably another skill humans possessed, innate musical talents compared to most Imperial races. I was surprised when Eve and I both received encores, so we ended up doing another song together—some famous romance duet.
It was hard doing karaoke with a completely unknown song—not knowing the tune or rhythm yet, but with Eve taking the lead, I thought we did quite well. As always Eve was adorable, trilling her cute giggles once we got a perfect score together, and she leapt into my arms and kissed me in front of the audience, earning a great round of applause from everyone.
We returned to our table as randoms started taking the stage, Eve clinging to me all the while, abuzz with excited energy.
“You two certainly get along well.” Uinda said mildly as we got into the booth and Eve promptly sat in my lap.
I just shrugged, “Yeah well we make a good team.” I offered, and Eve giggled and kissed my cheek, nuzzling against me.
Roote didn’t seem as impressed, “You seem to be going well above the act of being newlyweds.” He said almost accusingly.
My stomach felt like it was knotting up a little, “I’d say we’re acting exactly like newlyweds.”
I could see a couple worried expressions flash towards me—Zyno and Kianna; I think it was obvious at this point we overplayed our hand. But honestly I just couldn’t help it, I was having so much fun with Eve—her affection and attention, her love and adoration. I wanted to sing her praises from on top of a mountain. But no, even here we had to be careful to protect our love—to hide it from others. I hated it, I wanted to be free with my Evie. I thought before here on the vacation tour we’d be able to be more open with each other—and surely we were to an extent, but what business was it of theirs the agents had to scrutinize all our actions? Would they blame us and our relationship on not being able to find Gamma-12—would they blame us for
everything
that went wrong with the mission?
It was bullshit, plain and simple; I wanted to be free to love Eve and shower her with affection, walk through the halls of
The Radiance
and tell everyone how wonderful she was and how special and unique this perfect woman—
Eve got off my lap as though it had been on fire, and quickly pulled me up with her, “Sorry, I forgot we had plans to meet up with some friends later.”
“What, so suddenly?” Vinnago asked.
“Didn’t Adam just order another drink?” Lobae inquired.
Eve started pushing me towards the door, “Yep, so sorry, we’ll see you all tomorrow.”
“Evie, what the fu—”
I was barely out the door when Eve jumped into my arms, throwing her hands around my neck as her tentacles roamed through my hair, “I love you so much Adam, I love you, I love you I love you!” She started pelting me with kisses.
I tried to keep up with her, and I was about to ask what all was going on when I remembered how I’d just been thinking about how much I loved Eve when she attacked me—must’ve sensed my thoughts on her, got her all excited.
I chuckled against her lips as I wrapped my arms around her, “You know I think we found an aphrodisiac that works for you after all.”
Eve trilled a little giggle and started tugging me towards a moving walkway, “I think you might be right.”
As fast as we could get back, we returned to the room, and Eve had her way with me—eager, aggressive, almost violent really. She was more dominating than I’d ever seen her, obsessed and addicted to my flesh. She pleased me again and again, first with her mouth, then her pussy—and again with her vice-like pussy that could clamp and massage me, refusing to relent, drowning me in pleasure. She was so overwhelming it made me dizzy, and yet when it was done she warned me still she was holding back—she had so much more for me.
But despite the warning I was excited—happy I was so loved, happy I had this beautiful, perfect woman so desperate to please me. I wasn’t afraid of how she would dominate me—how she might overwhelm me. No, the only fear I had now was the idea it might get taken away—that those asshole clandestine agents would put in their s I was clearly comprised , that I couldn’t control the Predazoan asset—that we were just names and numbers on s, not even real people; mere tools to be used and abused by the powers that be.
But I couldn’t think of those fears now as Eve loved me—spoiled me, pleased me. I couldn’t think about what all we should do if the agents continued to scrutinize our affections; couldn’t think what all we would need to do once we returned to
The Radiance
, how we might explain ourselves. No, for now, I just enjoyed the love Eve and I shared; the consequences could come tomorrow.
***
The next day we met up with our team members again but same as Eve and I everyone had soured a little on the mission leaders being present, so we ended up just hanging out with our normal party; Zyno and Yun, Kianna and Densdor, and Vinnago and Lobae. We enjoyed a rather lazy day on the water, driving around in some hover-boat on the largest of the beaches. There was even a grill on it, and with a few fancy substitutes I was making everyone the closest combination I could get to earthling burgers.
Vinnago and Lobae were driving the boat, and either they were really good at acting like a couple, or there was actually something between them. Eve was with me of course, trilling softly as she massaged my neck and shoulders with her tentacles when Zyno came to inspect my work on the grill.
Out of earshot of the rest, I decided to prod Zyno for a little information, “Did anyone say anything yesterday when we left?”
Zyno rolled his eyes, “If you’re wondering how well your secret has been hidden, you’re an idiot.”
Eve growled a little at Zyno, but I tugged on her tentacle to quiet her, “What do you mean?”
Zyno eyed me flatly, “Adam, everyone knows.”
My eyebrows shot up, “
Everyone
?”
Zyno waved it off, “Well, everyone on the mission team.” I let out a weary sigh, but Zyno kept on going, “I mean really, did you two think you were being stealthy? That first day alone with your ridiculous PDA, pretty much everyone knew something was going on. But with the way you two are around each other, it’s so
obvious
you’re in love—got it spilling out your eyes and ears even.”
“I already declared I loved Adam from the first day I revealed my true form, has much changed for us since then?” Eve inquired.
Zyno gestured to me, “It’s obvious Adam’s reciprocating those feelings now, so yeah there’s that.”
“How bad do you think it is? Like honestly, you think people are ing on it?” I asked.
Zyno took a quick swig of his drink, “Oh yeah.”
Shit.
“Any advice?”
Zyno shrugged, “Enjoy your time now because you can bet your ass something will change once we get back on
The Radiance
.”
Zyno left us then, and once we were alone Eve looked into my eyes with a sad expression, “I’m sorry Adam, it’s all my fault.”
I sighed and pulled her into an embrace, and she quickly wrapped her tentacles around me, “No, I was stupid to ever try and keep us a secret—I mean yeah, we might be facing serious consequences, but I’m saying it was
obvious
we were never going to be able to properly hide our love.”
Eve pulled back to look at me, a small smile dancing on her lips, “You think?”
I nodded, “I know. Whatever we have between us, it’s more than just normal love; it’s like a force of nature—some kind of universal bonding. I don’t know if it’s because you’re Predazoan, don’t know if it’s because we’re a perfect match down to our cells, I don’t know if it has to do with your time in void space reaching out to me beyond time and space. Whatever put us together, it’s only going to get stronger, so we might as well get it all out in the open now.”
“But what if they try to separate us?”
I remembered Eve said before she could kill everyone aboard
The Radiance
while keeping me safe. Immediately I admonished myself for even thinking that for a moment; I wouldn’t be killing random people just to be with Eve. I was human and it was that part of me that protected Eve and kept her human; we’d be together, but we wouldn’t go around destroying entire space-fleets for it to be so.
I pulled her back towards me, “I don’t know Evie, but we’ll figure it out together.”
Eve took in a deep breath, inhaling my scent like she found it calming, “I love you Adam and I will do whatever you ask of me so we can be together.”
She didn’t say it outright, but I understood what she was saying there; she was giving me control of the situation, saying she would kill everyone for me so we could be together, or she would hold back for me if I was against it—she was leaving the decision of our fate in my hands.
A heavy burden for some simple human, but honestly I think it was good I had that responsibility; giving me command over her immense power was one more way we could be equals—what Eve wanted all along.
I didn’t want to say anything about all that doom and gloom though, so instead I pulled her into a tender kiss. Long and affectionate, adoring and enticing.
“I love you too sweet-thing, and no matter what happens, no matter how they might try to keep us apart, know we will find a way for us to be together.” I promised.
Eve’s eyes sparkled with a radiant joy beautiful beyond measure, “Forever and for always.”
