She shook her head laughing

"I would say I'm a patriot but that would be bs" she said shrugging "self preservation I believe you I believe that there's a big anD some thing coming to end us and the best way I can help survive is by helping you"

"Also this will make me famous and break my career" she said grinning "a win win for me"

 

[SinisterSpiders]

Vera could appreciate her no-shit attitude. She was a reporter for a teen magazine on one of the core planets, so she still had a long way she could climb.

"Right, let's see what you can do Miss Greyjoy," Vera said getting to her feet. "Tell us what us what you need to get your work done and we will do our best to accommodate. Right now though, the General and I are out of time. We have a lot to prepare before the Swearing In tonight."

Vera knew they had a lot of work to do, but mainly she was interested in lunch.

"Sam," Vera thought, "can you investigate Miss Greyjoy's background for us please? I want to get a good idea of what she is about before we go all in."

 

[silvertongue217]

"I can certainly do that empress" she said nodding and stepoiung towards the door "I'll grab my gear and get with your man Toma's to go over what I need and the nest way to maximize your potential" she said before stepping out.

"She reminds me of some one" Sam murmured

"\oh gee I wonder who" jase said rolling his eyes. He took Vera's hand and smiled.

"Shall we go have lunch?" He asked leading her out and into the hall.

 

[SinisterSpiders]

"Yes, please!" Vera said eagerly. She and Jase made their way back to their quarters hand in hand, any staff that walked past gave them broad knowing smiles. When they got back, they found the dining room in shambles, with builders beginning the work of installing a kitchen in there. Vera had considered finding a way to conceal it for when guests came over, but decided against it. With the babies coming she and Jase would need a space entirely their own. She would go back to using the formal dining room for state guests, only personal guests or friends would need dine in their combined quarters. She then realised that they would also need to work on a space for the babies too, the thought made her smile

"Looks like PEACe went all out again," Sam said, appearing in the study and pointing to the food trays that had been left on the desk. "I'm going to have some vitamins sent up straight away. Make sure you take them."

"Yes," Vera said turning to Jase, "to answer your question from earlier. Yes, she is already starting to get too much." Vera laughed, taking a seat and starting her meal.

"So, how did you find that? It can all be a bit full on at times." Vera herself was feeling exhausted from the critical gaze and onslaught, she had always found press conferences draining.

 

[silvertongue217]

He sat down with her making a face at the food but nevertheless tucking in.

"I mean its went about as well as you though it would" Jase said shrugging "Their a pack a bloody vultures especially that Richard guy" he said shaking his head.

"After we eat we need to go take care of our graffiti artist" He said jerking his thumb to where the Graffiti had been "we cant have this shit keep happening we need to make a stand"

 

[SinisterSpiders]

Vera let out a heavy sigh.

"Yes, they can't be left unchecked. Kryten, please have the crude artists summoned here in an hour's time," Vera figured that would be enough time for her and Jase to eat and relax for a bit before having to discipline the men. Then they would need to get ready for the Swearing In.

"I couldn't believe the press focused so much on our personal relationship. You would think they didn't hear the part about the galactic threat." Vera's hand went down to her stomach, rubbing her palm against it and shaking her head. "You did well though Jase, they love you already."

 

[silvertongue217]

"are you sure that is a good idea" Jase said raising his eyebrow "not sure I want them in our home and it makes it to personal in my opinion"

"Krysten go ahead and have them meet us in the officers longue they can get a taste of the better life as we refute them" Jase said speaking to the AI and nodding at her confirmation.

"and its probably A good idea that they did" Jase said leaning back and looking at her "I mean you heard this Ashlyn girl it might be what we need for morale"

 

[SinisterSpiders]

"That's true," Vera replied after finishing off her food, "she and our PR people seem to agree on that matter. Well, if the universe will rally for two leaders in love, what will they do for two leaders in love expecting babies?" She laughed, "By the stars, Greyjoy will have field day when we tell her about the babies."

Vera got up then, grabbing Jase's hand and leading him to her comfortable sitting room. She sat down on the couch, patting the space beside her. It had been a long time since they had been able to sit and just be.

"Though I am a bit worried to be honest, " Vera said with a frown, looking at Jase, "My parent's weren't loving by any stretch of the imagination. I don't want that for our children, I want them to be happy, loved... Though I don't know how to give that to them, I have no experience in that area."

 

[silvertongue217]

Jase smiled getting up and joining hero n the couch. He grabbed her hands bringing them up and kissing her hands. He placed them in his lap stroking them as he starred into her eyes.

"Oh I bet she will" He chuckled shaking his head "I mean it only furthers this whole scenario she is no doubt concocting" he said smirking a little before frowning at her question.

"I dont think we will ever have to worry about it since you have been telling me a lot you are not your parents" he reminded her smirking a little as he pulled her into his lap.

"We will make it work that much I know" He said leaning in to kiss her neck.

 

[SinisterSpiders]

Vera groaned as Jase kissed her neck, warmed by his words. Her hands came up to tangle in his hair. Vera squirmed in his lap, her body aching for his touch.

"I think we can make anything work, so long as we are together," Vera told him, nipping at his ear.

 

[silvertongue217]

"mmm I whole heartedly agree" Jase said leaning in biting and nipping at her neck. His hands slipped into her robe finding her bra and massaging her breast as he ground her on his lap.

 

[SinisterSpiders]

Vera moaned as Jase's hands massaged her aching breasts, his crotch grinding against her behind with hard insistence. She closed her eyes, enjoying the intimacy.

Then a door slid open. Vera's eyes went wide and she pushed herself off Jase and back onto the couch behind her. A builder, one of the ones installing their kitchen, stood in the doorway, his face red and eyes almost popping out of his head.

"Uh, er... sorry Chancellor, General" he stuttered, trying to look everywhere but at Jase and Vera, "We're just on our way to lunch... Uh, didn't realise you were in here."

Another two builders peered into the room, trying to see what the fuss was about.

"Right, well, enjoy your lunch break," Vera said, gesturing to the door on the other side of her room. She sat upright, eyes focused on the coffee table as the builder's filed out, their amusement clear on their faces.

"Frak!" Vera gasped as the door slid shut behind them.

 

[silvertongue217]

"Sorry about that mate!" Jase called cupping his hands to amplify his voice before getting up and winking at her

"And it would seem its time for us to go" Jase said nodding at Samantha who was waiting and all but tapping her foot. Jase laughed shaking his head and helping her up before nodding at the door.

"Now we get to do our first dual power couple thing" He joked escorting her out and down the hall. He led her to the officer longue where the three men in question were miling about at the bar.

 

[SinisterSpiders]

Vera didn't want to go, she wanted to stay and finish what she and Jase had started before they were interrupted. Though the interruption did diminish her libido somewhat. Instead, she and Jase made their way to the Officer Lounge. Vera gave him a visual once over on the way, making sure she hadn't mussed his hair up too much in their fun.

When they entered the three men looked up, eyes widening.

"Afternoon Gentlemen," Vera said, walking over and taking a seat at one of the large round tables. "Please, take a seat." She gestured to the other seats at the table, just enough for her and Jase and the three men.

"It is good to see you are able to make yourself as comfortable here as you were in mine and the General's private quarters," Vera remarked once the men were settled.

"Chancellor, we-" One of the men spluttered, Vera cut him off by raising her hand.

"You do not make for very good artists gentlemen. Your work was sloppy, rushed... and the content left a little to be desired." She said, eyeing off the one that was sporting a flourishing bruised eye. Seeing it gave her far too much satisfaction.

"It is a pity that none of you were smart enough to consider the fact that breaking into the quarters of the Chancellor would have consequences. Or at least try and avoid partaking in a wonderful security film."

Vera cocked an eyebrow, looking at Jase.

"What do you say, General?" Vera asked. She looked at the men again, thinking that if they had such a penchant for painting then they could be assigned to external space painting duties on the mothership.

 

[silvertongue217]

"I think that these guys fancy themselves artists" made said eyeing them all and noting how they wilted in front of the empress. He moved forward making sure all eyes were on him as he glared at them.

"You got a fraking problrem with me you come find me or do you remember that not working out so well for you?" He said laughing slightly "you know the empress got on to me punching you guys said it wasn't very right of me though I doubt she would say the same"

"Instead I'm going to punish you... Or well she is" jase said pointing at her "what I'm going to do is a little different you guys are going to start working with me and I'm going to show you that I'm gfoinf to save your ass from this threat"

 

[SinisterSpiders]

Vera watched Jase's handling of the men. Their styles were completely different, yet she could appreciate that he would cover bases she never considered. Having them work for him could teach them to respect him, or might cause it to hate him even more and resent him for the punishment. Either way she figured they would be less likely to try the same stunts again. Vera was betting that they would learn to respect him though, as anyone who got to know Jase properly would be bound to see he was a genuine and intelligent person.

"So, you three will be reporting directly to General Crestfield from now on," Vera said, eyeing them sternly. "And when you are not working for the General you will use your rec time to assist the maintenance crew to touch up the external paint work of the ship. See if you can't improve your artistic skill."

The three men looked horrified at the loss of their rec time.

"When the General is satisfied that you have learnt your lesson he will reinstate your rec time."

Vera got to her feet and straightened out the wrinkles in her gown. She walked towards the door, stopping only to give them one final warning.

"If this happens again, I will be sure that you receive the proper penalty. Breaking and entering, graffiti, threats against high level officials. You're lucky you didn't end up in the brig."

Vera left the room then and waited outside in the hallway for Jase to join her.

"Tomas will be meeting us back home, he agreed to go over some basics on the swearing in so you can get your head around the process."

When Vera and Jase arrived she was pleased that they manage to skirt into the room before the builders returned from lunch. The memory of their interruption was clear in Vera's mind still. Far too clear. She made a mental note to be much more careful this time.

Vera dressed for the swearing in before Tomas arrived. She initially tried on her normal formal uniform, but found the fitted clothes put far too much focus on her baby bump. Instead she put on a black dress jacket with a fuller skirt and pinned her epaulettes and platinum rank pin to that instead. She looked in the mirror, satisfied with her appearance just as Tomas came into the room.

The swearing in would be relatively simple, despite all the pomp and ceremony. The people receiving a promotion (including Jase with his new appointment) would be given their new epaulettes and and rank pins, and then take an oath- swearing to adhere to the values of PEACe, commit to their new position, and swear to protect the universe to the best of their ability. Luckily, Vera and Tomas managed to push the paperwork through for Boomer's promotion so that he would be able to be sworn in at Jase's side.

 

[silvertongue217]

"Well lets get ready to do this" Jase sighed pulling on his new leather jacket and pinning his own pin on. He smoothed it out and checked his hair his eyes flititng over to her.

"Well not as nice looking as you but I guess I dont clean up bad for a scoundral smuggler" Jase quipped winking at her and Tomas who wisely did not say any thing but simply smiled.

"Your parents would be proud" Samantha whispered in his ear and he sent her a silent thanks.

"Well lets get this over with" Jase said interlocking his hands with the empress. He nodded at her and kissed her cheek quickly before they went as a couple to the swearing in ceremony.

All in all he took it seriously much more so then even HE was expecting. Being sworn in to PEACe in front of cameras cameras he knew the Rebels would be watching was not simple but at the same time he found him believing in the core tenements of the PEACe values. He could see why it was a noble cause even if the outcome wasnt as noble as he believed it should be.

"If only people actually meant it when they swore in" he thought to both Vera and Samantha even as he recited them with conviction. He was pleased to note the same conviction from Boomer who took the stage as well for his promotion. He turned making a promise to every one of the blinking lights and troops station to watch.

A Promise to save as much of them as he could

LATER THAT NIGHT

Jase closed the door pulling off his jacket and touching the Stars lightly. He starred at them for a few moments before he turned putting the jacket on the hook before looking at Vera.

"And now the real work begins" Jase said looking at her sad smile on his face "Krysten Samantha make sure we are NOT to be disturbed until tomorrow morning"

They both confirmed and Jase smiled pulling off his shirt revealing his torso scars and branding and all. He grinned at her reaching out and taking her hand.

"I need you" He said breathing it out letting her feel just how much he did.

 

[SinisterSpiders]

Vera and Jase arrived at the swearing in together. While the ceremony was official she had to act her part, giving her speech and announcing the promotions with all of the solemnity and passion that the situation dictated. The candidates were lined up and she went by, congratulating each as she pinned on their badges and attached their new epaulettes. There was a spark in Boomer's eyes that warmed her heart, but it was nothing compared to the way she felt when she looked at Jase.

Vera had known how lucky she was to have him, but perhaps not quite as much as she did in that moment. Previously she was his sworn nemesis, the person who represented everything wrong with the universe. He had every reason anyone would ever need to want to destroy her, to tear her down along with everything she stood for. But he didn't. He was one of the truly good people in the universe. Instead of seeking vengeance he stood before her, ready to commit to their cause and partner with her and an organisation that had a bounty on his head for years, knowing that they needed him to face the looming threat. PEACe needed him, perhaps more than they needed Vera, even though they may not know it. She gave Jase a smile, a special one that she had reserved only for him, her eyes sparkling with appreciation and love for him.

When it was time for the oath Vera could see a transformation in Jase as he truly committed to their new life together, to his new role as the General of PEACe. Despite the threat of Hive, despite the possibility of intergalactic destruction, she smiled as she thought of the children growing within her. Between her and Jase, she knew they would create a safe space place for their babies to be born into.

Then the ceremony was over, they remained on the stage for a while to accept well wishes and congratulations from a number of officials. Finally though, they were done. Free to return to their room after one of the longest days in her life.

Vera watched as Jase touched the stars on his jacket after hanging it up, contemplating the gravity of their situation. When he turned his words were heavy but genuine. He took of his shirt, showing her his delectable chest, scars and all. The freshest one from where he saved her life, and undoubtedly that of their children, without a single hesitation. He took her hand, and she brought it to her lips, kissing it tenderly.

"I'm yours Jase," She whispered, lips moving against his fingers before she let them go. She stepped back, her hands coming up to undo her buttons one at a time as her eyes seared into his. When she was done she shrugged her dress off, letting it fall to her feet. She stood before him in nothing but her bra, panties and stockings , her breasts full and her stomach swelling with the life they had created.

"I'm yours," she repeated, reaching a hand out to him, inviting him to take everything he needed from her and more.

 

[silvertongue217]

"I'm yours"

He knew she meant it, meant it with every fiber of her being. She couldn't deny it any more than he could.

Not that he truly wanted to any more

Sure he was still hurt a little angry about the lie but he just couldn't bringing himself to care all that much. Here she was dedicating her self to him having HIS babies and looking at him with pure love.

He sunk to his knees moaning at her body

"Breath taking" he murmured his hands running up and down her legs. He leaned in kissing her thighs running his tongue up against her skin.

"Frank" he growled his nose running against her panty covered pussy "I love you"

He kissed and nibbled on her lips through her panties

 

[SinisterSpiders]

Vera smiled down ag Jase as he sunk to his knees before her, his lips and tongue running along her thighs. When he nuzzled his nose against her crotch she reached down, fingers tangling in his hair as she moaned. She ground down against him. It was erotic, having him tease her through her panties, the lace providing a different sensation than his mouth would.

"I love you too Jase," she hissed, barely managing to get the words out in her pleasure. His breath and lips were warm against her and she flooded with desire, pushing herself against him. She freed one hand from his hair, rubbing it along the back of his neck and over his shoulders, enjoying the build of him. "Frack," she laughed breathlessly, "I need you too."

 

[silvertongue217]

"Well a good general shouldn't keep his empress waiting" he murmured slidong back up. His hands wrapped her her body pressing their nalked skin together before he letter her up.

He kissed her deeply his hand snaking down pushing her panties to the side. He dropped her down thrusting his cock forward so she sank down on it.

 

[SinisterSpiders]

"Oh frack," Vera cried as she feel against Jase, his cock filling her to the core. She panted against him as her body struggled to manage the sudden intrusion. She wrapped one arm around his back as the other grasped at his chest, her hos rising and falling o meet his thrusts.

 

[silvertongue217]

"Uh huh that's it baby that's it" jase growled thrusting in his balls clapping against her ass as he dove in to her. His hands clawed at her back pulling her closer.

"Oh Frak after this I'm taking your ass" he growled thrusting in and out faster and hard as his hands found her ass holding her up as he slapped her ass.

 

[SinisterSpiders]

Jase's growled admission that he would take her arse sent Vera over the edge. She cried out, orgasm rising and rising as she rode him, her body desperate to feel him everywhere. She screamed out his name as she reached the peak of her pleasure, fucking him with everything that she was.

"I want all of you!" She told him, as she rode out the last vestiges of her orgasm. "Frack, I want you in my pussy, in my arse. I want you Jase. Fuck me." She muttered, her lips claiming his as her channel spasmed around his cock, instinctively trying to squeeze out the cum which she so loved.

 

[silvertongue217]

"oh baby I have every plan to" He said chuckling and growling as he carried her to the bedroom. He could feel her still trembling and spasming around his cock from her orgasm and he leaned in claiming her lips once more as the door to their room swished open. He pulled her off with a slight pop and threw her onto the bed his eyes running over her hungrily before he followed after her. He clambered on flipping her over running his hand down her spine before reaching her ass and giving it a smack.

"Oh I can wait" He moaned grabbing his cock and jerk it in his hand before finally lining it up with the entrance to her ass.

"mmm mine" he said pushing in filling her slowly and making sure she could feel every inch of his cock in her sweet rose bud.
