Deadly Truths

[Erlind]

“A long time ago, in my old unit,” he told her quietly, “I was known for producing the impossible. I have resources and skills beyond most. Try me, little girl. Tell me what it is you want.”

She’d stopped her struggles, but Seibert still didn’t let his guard down. He had her and until he could figure out what to do, he wasn’t going to let her slip away again.

 

[zydrate]

"Producing the impossible?! Ha! I know what you're talking about remember? I've been up there.." she let her head fall forward against the crate as she recalled his memories, "Like when one of your buddies thought he knocked up some bitch and killed her..you made it look like an accident for him..." she then went on to describe several other events, more of the most painful ones she could muster....

Rylen knew it wasn't a good idea to be doing that but if she could get him distracted enough, she could get away...

 

[Erlind]

“I never said I was a good person, Rylen. I am not. Neither are you, and I don’t have to read your mind to know that.” Each memory she recalled got under his skin a little more, but he kept it under control. Some of the stories had more to them and she was either unwilling to admit to it or didn’t know them. Other memories she dredged up though were just as gruesome as she described.

“You’ve seen inside, waterbird. You know what I’m capable of. Ask for what you want.”

 

[zydrate]

Ignoring him, Rylen could hear it in his voice, he was getting tired of her games... what better way than to distract than to keep playing... For some reason, when she was on a roll, it was hard to stop.

"What about Syra...?" she said, "I bet if she knew the truth about you, knew what sort of person you were, she'd still be alive today right?"

 

[Erlind]

Just how far had she dove into his mind before? Every dark little secret he’d buried, and shameful act had apparently been at her fingertips. Seibert’s grip on her tightened and he put a little more of his weight on her.

“If you don’t tell me what you want,” he told her darkly, “I will kill you here and add to the list of sins I can’t atone for that you’ve been so graciously reading off.”

She hadn’t meant to tell him that she had something she wanted. It had been a slip up and now she was trying to throw him off of it. Even knowing this it was getting harder and harder to not do something stupid, especially with the mention of Syra.

 

[zydrate]

The tone in his voice finally made Rylen re-think her taunting. She needed to get him to at least ease up on her, his weight was crushing her, "Fine!" She said, "But not here...I will not talk to you like this..."

"Listen, I'll behave, just take me some where else, OK? I'll tell you then and only then what I want."

She was taking a chance on that request but the only thing he could do was say no.

 

[Erlind]

His fingers dug into her flesh, not letting his grip on her go for a second. He drug Rylen along hard, keeping her off balance. She hadn’t been fighting him to start with, but it was almost natural with the way he was treating her. She had gone to the trouble to make him angry and Seibert found it wasn’t dissipating easily.

When they stopped it was in a storage room off to the side. They were out of the open, but this was all the more courtesy the soldier was willing to show her right now. He practically threw her inside and slammed the door behind them.

“This is all you’re getting. Now talk.”

 

[zydrate]

The whole time they were talking, Rylen was working desperately to get the steel cuffs off. With mechanical items, well, most of them, she could get out of... she just needed time...and energy.

When he threw her in the room, Rylen immediately turned to face Seibert, keeping her hands behind her back, "OK, just wait..."

Rylen took a few deep breaths, seeing as how that little action took the breath from her, "Well... How about this. We go after 'it' together. I mean, come on... there has to be something better than what we're doing now.."

She had a plan, she wasn't going to try anymore tricks with Seibert. If she really assessed the situation and him, well, he wasn't as ruthless as some others of their types out there...

 

[Erlind]

Seibert went down on a knee to get closer to his captive. Grabbing Rylen by her hair he pulled her face to face with him.

“I’ve chased you halfway across the galaxy. You’ve invaded my mind and thrown my worst memories in my face. Now, you’re asking me to go with you to find what I’ve been fighting to keep you from? What do you really want from me Rylen? What?”

He couldn’t lie. She was right. Neither of their lives were really complete, but why did she think this was the answer? Seibert’s mind was a swirl of emotions. Anger. Lust. Frustration. Affection. Possibly more, but he couldn’t sort it all out right now. He needed to figure out what to do with his fugitive.

 

[zydrate]

"I told you what I really want Master Sergeant.." she said, her voice low and husky as her mind frantically worked at the cuffs binding her hands behind her back.

Rylen never broke eye contact with Seibert as a long moment of silence passed between them...

Then, a small trickle of blood started to run out of her nose just as a click could be heard. Rylen had finally gotten the cuffs off but she didn't make any sudden movements... "We can find it together Seibert. After that, I promise to leave you alone."

 

[Erlind]

He didn’t want her to leave him alone, not really. His only constant companion for the last few years was a disembodied voice. He could have joined up with a crew or settled down somewhere, but he’d never found anyone who had understood him like this adversary seemed to. Like only she could by what she’d done.

“What if I don’t want to be left alone?” he asked her, and as he did, he saw the blood slowly moving down from Rylen’s nose. She was trying to escape. He could have pinned her, held on for dear life, or done any number of other things, but he didn’t. Instead, Seibert leaned in and kissed her. Knowing she’d be gone again soon, he didn’t want to miss his chance.

 

[zydrate]

Rylen wasn't expecting the kiss...it was sudden, probably for Seibert too since she couldn't sense.

Although she wasn't really guaging for it since she was busy with the cuffs.. her arms stayed at her sides when he deepened the kiss, her tongue immediately found his, a small moan rose in her throat.

Her hands moved to his arms, gripping his biceps, not sure if she was trying to discourage or perhaps encourage him... Rylen's head moved to the side, her lips locked with his...

 

[Erlind]

When he felt her hands he should have stopped. Seibert knew she'd slipped out of her cuffs somehow, probably the reason for the blood trickling from her nose, but he didn't care. If Rylen decided to run, he'd go after her, but he wasn't going to lose these moments for it. His hands moved along her strong supple body and slowly they both moved to the floor.

She was going to run on him, he felt certain of it. The old soldier had gone soft, but she hadn't and she shown it time and time again. Maybe she did like him, but she wasn't going to risk what she wanted for him. Even knowing this, the heated touch of her lips wouldn't let him forget about her.

 

[zydrate]

As they continued to kiss, Rylen found her hands travelling up Seibert's arms, no sudden movements, just nice and slow, she grabbed at his jacket, yanking it down and getting it off him, pushing it down his arms...

Rylen moved against him, her body finally pressing against him...she broke the kiss momentarily, her forehead resting against his cheek, their breathing hard and fast...

"We could take each other down..you know that?" she muttered but that was all she could get out, the desire between them too much to continue talking.

 

[Erlind]

“Yes, we could.” A simple answer, but it had been something he’d known since nearly the start. They were strong in different ways, but she was just as lethal as he was. Rylen would have made a formidable partner in another life.

She didn’t fight him when he pulled her top off, revealing the slender body and full breasts he only knew from that drug hazed night weeks ago. Strong hands pulled her bare flesh against him.

“I have every reason to make it end that way too, but I don’t,” Seibert told her thinking about what she had said again.

 

[zydrate]

Nothing else was said between the two assassins as they kissed deeply once more. Rylen pressed herself against Seibert, making him feel the heat from her body. She kept her hands away from his head, both for his sake and hers. She wasn't going to run...at least not while in the middle of what they were doing...

She felt his hands move down to her sides and to the buttons of her pants...Rylen groaned and started to help him remove his own shirt, she wanted his flesh to touch hers so bad!

This wasn't as rough as it was last time..during their spiked drink effects...this time it was just more intimate...more personal...

 

[Erlind]

They continued to strip each other’s clothes off, a piece at a time until their naked bodies were pressed against each other. Together they formed a strange juxtaposition of flesh. Her smooth lithe lithe body was like a smooth blade. His body instead bore the scars of near failures and time, and his muscles spoke more of brute force than her dangerous finesse. Still, the deadly pair found something in each other they couldn’t resist.

The insanity of that drugged drink was gone this time, but Seibert still wanted her to know a night of real passion. His lips trailed down her neck. He loved the warmth of her, to him it felt like she could burn him if she wanted and he didn’t care. Eventually, he found Rylen’s breast and then quickly, her nipple. He sucked and even nibbled at it while his hands began searching over the rest of her.

 

[zydrate]

Feeling his strong body pressing against hers, Rylen savored it. Her back arched when his lips wrapped around her nipple, her head fell back as she literally surrendered her body to him. This wasn't like the last time, they were taking their time, wanting to feel each other out in a whole different way...

Rylen kept her hands away from Seibert's head, instead she held onto him by his arms, she cried out when she felt him nibble on one breast before trailing his tongue to her other breast...she could feel his cock pressing against her thigh, causing her to moan in conjunction with what he was doing to her body...
