Warhawk's Amnesty - Ch 22 - Between an Angel and a Demon - Beta (Patreon)

The group walked up to the boarding ramp labeled ‘A’. From the package they purchased, this was supposed to be the VIP area. Judging by there being no queue and a table of food and drinks nearby, it gave the impression of being exclusive.

After checking in, their point of contact introduced herself as N’adaline. She had bright blue skin, solid cyan pupils, and blue fire for hair. A common look for many calist.

Seb hadn’t met one yet, but they were a rarity in the galaxy, given the limited number that had come through the warp gates. But from what he heard, more were coming through every month. It surprised him she enunciated in perfect common.

After their initial introductions, N’adaline walked them to a dedicated elevator reserved for the VIP members. She handed each of them electronic, waterproof wristbands that gave them access to the elevators and their room. When they stepped off the elevator, they ventured down a blue hallway with holograms of the various captains that had helmed the ship.

The suit’s doors opened up to an open floor plan with the sunken square couch in the middle of the room. On the far left was a full kitchen for them to use during the stay. It included a wine and alcohol bar that was fully stocked with the galaxy’s finest. The four rooms each had their own shower and onigaram sized bed, big enough for all four of them to share if they desired.

But the best feature of their suite was the view. The far wall away from the entrance was all transparent, allowing them to overlook the middle deck and surrounding galaxy sky. N’adaline showed them that if they needed privacy, with a touch of a button, the transparency faded into a solid light brown wall.

Finally, before she departed, she walked them through the room’s communication system. It allowed them to request room service at any time of day. When their host left the room. Seb watched all the girls drop everything and start running around screaming. It was like a bunch of teenagers hanging out at their first slumber party.

While they gushed over all the features, Seb made his claim to one of the spare rooms. He set his bags on his bed and took out his clothes. He hung them in the provided closet before making his way back out to the living room. He found the girls in the kitchen already with poured drinks.

“Come on, Seb,” Vi said, waving him toward them. “We need to start our vacation off right.”

“By drinking midday?” Seb asked with a smirk.

“Of course! It’s all inclusive. Might as well get our money’s worth.”

Seb watched Nalla down a shot and bite into a freshly cut piece of fruit. “Damn Nalla, never took you to be a party girl.”

“This is the first vacation I’ve ever had and the first day of my freedom,” she said with a sense of confidence he’d not seen from her. “I plan on taking full advantage of it.”

“Well then, Vi, pour those shots then.”

Vi slid Seb a glass and a piece of fruit. He watched as she poured everyone an equal shot. “To Nalla and her new freedom,”

“To Nalla!” everyone shouted in unison before downing the drinks. As Seb slammed his glass down with everything else, he felt something move up his leg. He glanced down to see Nalla’s tail wrapping its way around him. When he looked up at her.

Gone was the shy look he’d seen so often when they were intimate. A brushfire of lust replaced it. It caught him so off guard that Seb nearly broke out in a sweat.

“What should we do first?” Eni asked.

“I definitely want to check out the pools,” Vi said. “They have one that goes down through the middle of the ship. They are also PH balanced. Do you know how hard it is to find a pool that doesn’t irritate my skin? It’s a pain in the ass.”

“Is that from the chemicals they use to clean them?” Seb asked.

“Yeah exactly. I’m not aware of the other races being affected by them as much as we are, but it irritates us to the point where it hurts to move. Like breathing on it makes it feel as though it’s on fire.”

“Wow, I had no idea.”

“Yeah, which is why it’s the worst. We’re aquatic creatures. We love swimming.”

“I’ve treated a few orlindrians for chemical burns,” Nalla said. “It’s never easy.”

“Okay, this conversation turned dark rather quickly,” Eni said. “Let’s get back to the fun stuff. There’s a huge holonet arcade they have here, I want to check out. They’ve got a few multiplayer games we can all play.”

“I haven’t played a game in years,” Nalla said.

“Do you game?”

“I did when I was younger, but once I started my contracts, I never had the money to buy anything.”

“What’s the last game you played?”

“I think Seb and I were talking about this at one point. I think the last game I played was Uncharted Wasteland.”

“My gods, really? You’re going to be blown away by the games nowadays. That game is so old, they’ve already remastered it twice.”

“Do you think the ship has it?”

“I doubt the ship does because their games are more what you would expect to find in an arcade. But, I’ve got my deck with me. I can buy a copy and you can play it.”

“Can we all play together?”

“No, it’s single player but I wouldn’t mind watching you play.”

“Hmm…” Nalla said, scrunching her mouth. “I’d much rather do something we can all do together.”

“We did talk about food,” Seb said, leaning on the counter. “They have a formal dining service starting after we disembark, which should be in thirty minutes. I know I’m already dressed for the occasion, but we could all get dressed up, have a nice dinner, and then take things from there.”

“Yeah, that sounds good. I haven’t eaten since yesterday.”

“Did they not feed you in there?”

“They did, but because I was leaving, I guess they kind of forgot.”

“You might want to slow it with the drinking then. That’s going to hit you even harder.”

“Don’t you tell me how to live my life,” Nalla said, turning and crossing her arms. “I’ll make my own regrets, thank you.”

“Yeah, she’s a free woman to make her own decisions,” Vi said.

“Okay, you don’t have to gang up on me now,” Seb said with a smirk.

“You better be careful,” Eni said. “You’re seriously outnumbered.”

“I can see that. I hope I won’t regret it.”

He watched each of his companions look at each other before turning back at him. They all shared the same villainous smile. It was like staring at a prowling family of lionesses, and he was the buck that just stepped into their territory. Seb stumbled backward thanks to Nalla’s tail. He pointed his thumb over his shoulder.

“All right, you all go get ready and I’ll put in the reservations.”

Eni, Vi, and Nalla agreed, shuffling back over to their luggage, and picking out an individual room. While the three got ready, Seb cycled through the various restaurants on the ship. He filtered on the ones that were high end, before settling one with that included live music. He called N’adaline, who helped coordinate the dinner service. Given their package, she noted they were guaranteed a spot, even if they booked full for the night. The expense was definitely worth it, Seb thought.

As the women prepared themselves, Seb watched them all congregate into Vi’s room. The music was too loud for him to really hear anything, but their sudden bursts of laughter were indication they were enjoying themselves. There was nothing for Seb to do but wait. He walked over to the bar and made himself a drink before turning to the couch and flipping on the news.

The galaxy itself seemed like it was a powder keg waiting to explode. The GRC had its hands full trying to negotiate peace between FLS and Sectorum forces. There were rumors of skirmishes occurring along the borders. The UHC announced more arrivals of calist through the warp gates, only increasing the mystery of where they came from. The Reborn continued to push for legalization for artificial intelligence, while the rest of the council pushed against it. Seb thought he had enough problems inside of prison, but it looked like there were more waiting for him when he got it.

When he heard the door behind him, he set down his drink and stood. The women each dressed in their finest wares. Nalla’s all white and gold laced dress hung loosely on her body. Her hair was done up in a bun and paired with a golden necklace that draped down between her breasts. Eni’s dress was all black, matching her lipstick. It was hip-slit, allowing for her wide hips and thick bottom to spill from the sides. It also sparkled like a piece of obsidian. Vi’s red dress wrapped around her like a corset but left her upper chest and the middle of her stomach exposed. It came with sleeves that connected to her sides, leaving her entire arm covered except for her shoulders.

Seb’s jaw dropped at their stunning physiques and beauty. “Wow, you all look fantastic.”

“We clean up good, don’t we?” Vi asked.

“That’s the understatement of the year. Each of you is looking divine, like three goddesses from fairy tales. I’m honored to be your chauffeur tonight.”

“Damn right,” Eni said, slapping Vi and Nalla’s bottoms. “Now let’s go. Nalla’s stomach was yelling at us the entire time we were getting ready.”

Seb walked across the room and extended an arm out. “Shall we then?”

Vi and Nalla took both arms. Eni huffed until Vi reached out a hand to her. The three exited their room and ventured throughout the cruise line together. The halls were filled with all kinds of families: human, inoran, and many interracial couples. Seb felt a bit overdressed until they reached the restaurant where a suited, inoran doorman stood at the entrance.

“Good evening sir and madams,” he said in an almost buzzing like manner.

“Good evening,” Seb said. “We have a reservation under the name Warhawk.”

The man flipped through a hologram until coming up on Seb’s name. “Ah, Mr. Warhawk and guests. Thank you for being one of our royal suite members. I see the reservation here. Please note we always have a table for you should you desire, so no need to make a reservation in the future. With that said, please follow me.”

Two doormen opened twin glass doors, triggering a curtain behind them to pull apart, revealing the interior of the restaurant. The room had twenty-foot-tall ceilings decorated with dark brown walls draped with deep red fabric. The main floor had multiple levels of seating that descended as it got closer to the stage. Each table was covered with black a black cloth with a lit candle in the middle.

The host led them halfway into the room and presented them with a crescent moon shaped booth that faced toward the front of the room. It was covered with a solid black table cloth with a lit candle on top. Seb sat in between Eni and Nalla with Vi sitting on the far end. Their seat was perfectly aligned with the middle of the stage, where four orlindrian musicians filled the room with an ambience of romance.

As soon as the host left them, the table was swarmed with staff. One man set and poured them each a glass of water while another took their drink order. When he finished, he tapped the top of the candle, which produced a hologram of their menu for each to read.

“We’re going to need a minute,” Seb said. The wait staff bowed and retreated from their view.

“Wow, this place is super fancy,” Nalla said. “I don’t think I’ve ever been somewhere so… posh.”

“Really?” Vi asked. “I used to go to places like this all the time. It’s fun for a while, but it gets old rather quickly. Imagine having to get dressed up all the time like what we did every single day when you’re on a marketing slash fan tour. It can get exhausting.”

“Yeah… I guess I’ll have to take your word for it.”

Seb watched Nalla’s body language shift. She was no longer sitting up straight and confident, but back to her normal self with her hands held together and her head lowered. Is she embarrassed? He wondered. Vi and she are on opposite sides of the spectrum when it comes to their experiences, but they both came from humble beginnings. She’s probably just over thinking things.

Seb ran his hand up her back and rubbed it. She turned and gave him a warm smile that seemed to clear her mind. While he made an effort to sooth her worry, his was just beginning.

His body froze when he felt Eni’s clawed hand rest along his thigh. She slowly caressed his leg, following the same movements he was doing along Nalla’s back. As inconspicuous as he could, he turned and looked down, only to see the edge of the black table cloth hiding everything below his waist. When he looked at Eni, her smile was almost as big as her head.

“What are you getting to eat, Seb?” Eni asked.

Seb could feel his heart racing, knowing where this was likely to lead over the length of the night. He grabbed the glass and took a drink to try to clear the lump in his throat. “Not quite sure yet… What are you getting?”

“I’m thinking… meat.”

“That sounds good,” Vi said. “Like a fish or something?”

“I was thinking more along the lines of a thick, juicy sausage,” Eni said, staring Seb in the eyes.

“Huh, I don’t see that on the menu,” Nalla said, scrolling.

“Guess I’ll just have to settle for something else then.”

“They do have several steaks.”

“I’ll just get whatever Seb is having.”

“You’re not getting any of my food,” Seb said, trying to focus. “You better order your own.”

Both Nalla and Vi laughed, and everyone finished choosing their meals. The dinner service included three courses. One with a light vegetarian dish of their choosing, followed by their primary meal, and then finished with an individual sized dessert. All of them were in pure bliss. The vegetables were cold and fresh. The chefs cooked the meat to specification. And the desserts were sweet and delicate.

After their meals concluded, the group continued to enjoy the soft atmosphere, ordering bottle after bottle while they conversed. As the drink flowed and the hours turned late, Seb was soon fighting a battle on two fronts. Eni’s movements became more bold as she scooted closer to Seb, giving her deeper access to his inner thigh. Nalla had similar intentions as she nuzzled next to him, placing her hand on his other leg and wrapping his calf with her tail.

Both women vied for his attention through various questions and conversation. It was a battle between an angel and a demon. And Vi offered no assistance, unknowingly egging both women on with follow up remarks.

Eni’s and Nalla’s techniques made it impossible for him to resist. No matter the puppies and nuns he thought about, his body betrayed him. It was anyone’s guess which hand his shaft was going to reward. It was Eni.

Like a fish snatching a worm, when Eni’s hand felt the brush of his bulge, she snatched it with vigor. Seb jumped slightly, pulling everyone’s attention toward him. Even with all eyes on him, she didn’t hesitate, instead gently stroking the head of his cock with the tips of her fingers.

“You okay, Seb?” Eni asked, puffing out her bottom lip. Seb shot a glare that would have pierced stone, but it didn’t phase the temptress.

“Yeah, you’re looking a bit red.” Nalla said, furrowing her brow. She pulled up her hand from his thigh and placed it on his face. “Are you feeling, okay?”

“Yeah, just feeling a bit warm,” Seb said. He unbuttoned the top button on his jacket, allowing it to fold across his chest.

“It is getting pretty late,” Vi said, yawning and stretching. “I wouldn’t mind getting out of these heels.”

“I think I could use a cold shower.”

“Why don’t we head back to the room, get settled, and see how we feel after?” Nalla suggested. “If we want to stay up, we can. If everyone is feeling tired, we can call it for the night.”

“That works for me,” Vi said. “Oh, before we go, I’m going to run to the restroom.”

“Me too!” Nalla said, hopping on her butt to get out of the seat.

When both women were out of visible eyesight, Seb snatched Eni’s wrist and pulled it up. In the sternest whisper he could muster, he gave her a piece of his mind. “Eni, what the fuck are you doing?”

“It seems rather obvious, doesn’t it?” Eni asked, grabbing his cock with her other hand. “I said I wanted a thick, juicy sausage for dinner, and I still haven’t had my meal.”

Seb’s entire body shook as she continued massaging his tip. He shook his head to focus. “You’ve got to stop. We’re in a public place. This isn’t back at your safe house.”

“Do you really want me to? Because I don’t think you do. I can feel how hard you are. I can feel your heartbeat thumping through your cock. You find this just as exciting as I do.”

Seb swallowed hard. He knew she was right. So what if we got caught? he asked himself. What’s the worst that could happen? They throw us out. No, the end of the world.

When Seb didn’t answer, Eni wiggled her wrist out of his hand. She turned and picked up a piece of silverware. When she dropped it, she held up her hand in front of her mouth. “Oops. I seem to have dropped something. I better go and grab it.”

Before he could say anything, Eni slid underneath the table. He glanced around him, ensuring no one was looking at their table when he felt his pants come undone. There was no sensual build up or ease into their hidden act. Eni forced all of him into her mouth and down her throat in one quick motion. She held herself there, using her tongue to lather every inch of him with a soaked, filled bliss. When she pulled herself back, Seb grabbed onto the seat so as not to slide forward from the power of her suction.

His heart raced and breath quickened as she rocked her head back and forth. The booze, the threat of being caught, and her technique put him on edge faster than normal. It didn’t help that she was sucking him harder than a ship into a black hole.

Just when she pulled up for air, Nalla and Vi returned to the bathroom. He had to think fast. He knew what they were going to ask him before they said a word.

“We’re back and ready to go,” Vi said. She raised an eyebrow when she looked around the table. “Where’s Eni?”

Seb could feel the seductress’s smile roll across his tip before she took him back in her mouth.

“Uh… she uh… went to the restroom,” Seb stuttered.

“Huh? We didn’t see her on our way back.”

“She said something about speaking with the waiter or something. Apparently she wasn’t happy with her meal.”

“Really? She cleaned all her plates.”

“You… um… never really know with her.”

“Okay, we’ll just wait for her to get back then.”

“No!” Seb shouted. “You both go ahead to the room. I’ll wait here for her so you don’t have to.” Nalla and Vi looked at each other before looking back at Seb and frowning.

You idiot! They know something’s up. You shouldn’t have shouted like that. But fuck, I can’t concentrate with her sucking me off like this. She’s way too good at this.

Seb’s eyes bounced between the two women standing in front of him. He pulled at his collar. It felt like a hundred degrees hotter all of the sudden.

“Okay… we’ll head back then. See you there.”

“Don’t get lost on the way back,” Seb said with forced laughter. The two women shrugged and headed for the exit. Seb slumped into the booth, hearing an audible pop as Eni pulled him from her mouth. He looked down to see her head peering from underneath the table.

“Quick thinking,” she said with a wet grin. “For a moment I thought we were going to get caught.”

“If we get caught, it’s because you instigated this.”

Her head retreated back under the table and Eni picked up her pace. She rolled her tongue across the underside of his tip while rubbing both soaked hands along his rod. Her lips wrapped tight along his head, sucking as hard as she could. The pressure built with every slurp of her mouth until he felt a rush of tingles across his body. He was close.

In a moment of primal desire, Seb grabbed onto Eni’s hair and pulled her in tight. He poured his lust into her mouth with each pulse of his body. When he let go, he slumped back into the seat, trying to catch his breath. He heard her lips smacked satisfactorily after she swallowed her reward. He rolled his lips under his teeth and tried to hold back his moans while Eni cleaned up his mess. Every lick and kiss sent a shock wave to his toes with his newfound sensitivity. When she was seemingly satisfied, she helped zip him back up and crawled out from the table.

“Thanks for the dessert,” Eni said, nuzzling into his shoulder.

“Woman, you’re going to get me in trouble, you know that?” Seb said.

“Most certainly, but it will be fun while we do it.”

Seb laughed and shook his head. “Come on, we need to get back to the other two. They’re probably wondering what’s taking so long.”

When Eni stood up to shuffle out of the booth, Seb scooped his hand underneath the back part of her dress. He grabbed more than a handful and pulled her back down. He loomed inches from her face; her ears pulling back as she looked up at him. “Don’t think that I’ll forget about this little tease of yours. One day, there will be payback. Do you understand me?”

Eni’s eyes glistened with desire, and she nodded slowly. Seb lowered himself and scooped her bottom lip in his mouth and bit it before kissing her.

When he sat back up, Eni squinted her eyes and puffed her cheeks. “And you call me the tease…”

Seb laughed, and the two made their way back to the suite. When Vi and Nalla asked them what took them so long, Eni told them that she got into an argument with a woman in the restroom because she insulted her dress. He was thankful for the cover and gave him time to take a much-needed shower.

After he finished, he put on some underwear and a tank top and headed for the door. When he opened it, Nalla was standing with a wine bottle and two glasses. She was dressed down in just a shirt and underwear, and had undone her hair.

“Oh, hello,” Seb said with a smile.

“Hey, I didn’t hear the shower, so I figured you might be done,” she said before raising and shaking the glasses. “Are you thirsty?”

“Sure, I can always use a drink. Will Vi and Eni be joining us?”

“No, I was wondering if it could just be the two of us. I wanted to talk.”

“Yeah, come on in.”

Seb moved to the side and shut the door after Nalla walked through. She poured them both a glass and set the bottle on the side table. They both climbed into the bed, sitting their backs against the headrest. Nalla downed the contents of her glass in a few quick gulps before setting it on the side table.

“I don’t even know where to begin,” she said, laughing.

Seb set down his glass and turned to face her. “Is something wrong?”

“No! Not at all. There’s just so much that I want to say. But since you picked me up earlier today, we haven’t had a chance where it’s just been you and me. Don’t get me wrong, Eni and Vi are great, but this is something that I wanted to tell you and only you.”

“Well, don’t stress too much about it. I’m happy to just sit back and listen.”

Nalla looked up at him with soft eyes. They looked on the verge of tears. She reached out and grabbed his hand, holding it between her own. “I’m having a hard time processing everything. Today doesn’t feel real. It feels like a dream. I’m so scared that I am going to go to sleep tonight and wake up in that jail cell back on Pyrus Station.”

She took in a deep breath and continued. “I don’t remember not being under contract. That part of me is like a piece of glass missing from a shattered mirror. My whole life is just a bunch of broken pieces. So when you told me you were going to buy out my contract, save me, and take me away from that life, I didn’t believe you.”

“Looking back, I wouldn’t have believed me either.”

They both shared a small laugh before Nalla continued. “But you kept your word. When Francisca, Toros and I were all arrested, I saw a look in your eyes. One that gave me hope. You promised me you would save me and you did.”

Seb cupped her cheek and wiped away the tear as it fell.

“I’ve lived a fearful life, but this is the first time in a long time that I’m not afraid. With you here with me. I feel like I can truly live, and I don’t think I can ever repay you for what you’ve given me. I owe you my life.”

“Shush with that crazy talk,” Seb said, smiling. “Anyone in my position would have done the same thing.”

Nalla shook her head. “That’s not true, and you know it. This galaxy is cruel, and you’re one of the few good people in it.”

“I don’t know about that—”

Nalla pressed her finger up to Seb’s lips. She crawled toward him and pulled him to her lips. Every part of him wanted to give in. But a piece of the back of his mind told him it just wasn’t right. She was growing feelings for him and he still had some for her, but she deserved to know.

When he pulled away, Nalla’s eyes went wide, and she jerked her head back. “I’m so sorry, I just thought…”

Seb grabbed Nalla’s hands and held them while he spoke. “It’s not that I don’t want this Nalla, it just feels wrong without you knowing.” Seb let out a heavy sigh. “Eni and I have been together multiple times since you and I last saw each other. Now there’s nothing—”

Before Seb could continue, Nalla’s building laughter interrupted him. He pulled his head back, cocking his brow. He didn’t understand what was so funny.

“You really are a good man,” Nalla said, trying to calm herself. “A bit too human, but still good.”

“I don’t get it.”

“I know about you and Eni.”

“You do?”

“Of course I do. I spent the entire day with her and Vi. What do you think we’ve been talking about?”

“I don’t know. The weather?”

“You, silly. You were the one who brought us all together. It’s only natural that you get brought up in the conversation.”

“And she told you about us sleeping together?”

“Yeah, and that’s okay. Monogamy is very rare in sepix culture. Most men take on multiple wives and concubines.”

“And you’re okay with that?”

“Of course. You’re one in a billion. You’re smart, funny, really good looking, and above all else, have a good heart.”

“Damn Nalla, you’re going to make me blush. I don’t know what to say.”

“You don’t have to say anything.”

Nalla jumped out of the bed and turned off the lights. Seb wasn’t sure what was going to happen next, so he downed his drink and shimmied under the covers. Nalla joined him underneath the blankets and snuggled herself close to him. She wrapped her tail around his legs and pulled him tight. When nothing else happened, he relaxed. It was nice to have to have everything out in the open. It was a tremendous weight off of his shoulders. While Eni pushed things faster than they probably should, it was nice to take things slow with Nalla.

The two rested peacefully until they heard the bedroom door open. Seb looked down at Nalla, who then looked down at the door. A shambling Eni walked in, rubbing her eyes.

“What’s she doing?” Nalla whispered.

“I forget the term she uses, but Eni sleep walks,” Seb whispered. “She said she has very vivid dreams and causes her to move around in her sleep.”

“We didn’t talk about that.”

“Yeah, it has something to do with her being a good hacker or something. Sometimes she’ll fall asleep on me. I’ve just gotten used to it. Do you want me to wake her up?”

“We shouldn’t wake her. It’s not good to wake someone in the middle of a walk as long as they aren’t going to hurt themselves.”

“Are you going to have a problem with her sleeping in here with us?”

“No.”

The two watched Eni shuffle around the room. They couldn’t suppress their laughter while she bounced off of the furniture in the room. Eventually, she found her way to the bed and crawled underneath the covers. They both let out a short laugh when her head popped out between them. They wrapped themselves around their white-haired companion and slowly drifted to sleep.
