Fully Relaxed (Page 155)

~~~(POV: Scott Autumn)~~~

~~~(Location: In Bed, Home)~~~

Jessica is resting her body on mine, and we're both exhausted. I didn't intend to go for as long as I did, but I've needed a release for a while. She's satisfied, so am I, and my stamina has exceeded hers. "We're going to need to clean these sheets..." We both laugh as she randomly states something out of left field. But, it is related to the activities we indulged in.

Aurora is probably cursing up a storm trying to figure out how to get into that Weapons Depot. Despite her confidence, she was already getting angry when I got off. "How about we just lay here in our own sweat and filth? That sounds nice, doesn't it?" My sarcasm is laid on heavy, and she lets out a little chuckle. She crawls up my body and looks me in the eyes.

She runs her fingers along my cheeks, and our naked bodies stick together. "Mind helping me into the bathroom? I don't think I'll walk straight after all that..." She knows what to say and when to say it. She hangs on tight as I lift her out of bed in my arms and take her to my room's bathroom. "Run a bath for me." I gently set her on the edge of the bathtub and start the water for her.

I'm pretty hungry and thirsty after all the physical activity, and as much as she wants me to join her. It'll have to wait. "I'll hop in after I get some food and water. I'm starved after that." She lets her feet soak in the water as I leave the bathroom and head for the kitchen. The TV is on as I watch from the counters as I make food. It's the same News station I always watch for The Aeternus Universe.

I finish making my chip and chicken slices sandwich and take a seat on the couch. The soft cotton and pleasant texture are excellent when nude. "Today, a planet in the Techese Galaxy was destroyed by a massive Dreadnaught. One believed to be the biggest one known yet. Said planet was called Kelromera, and it was home to billions." The News is spinning a story here.

The people on the planet made it off safely. And they're making it sound like billions died. "In the meantime, many Players are closing in on Teller-Bravo for that huge bounty on their heads." I lean forward just a bit at hearing that. The people hunting Teller-Bravo won't find them easily but turn up enough stones, and you'll find them.

It's safe to assume there are plenty of forums dedicated to the search and companies in-game helping in the search. Their bounty is big enough for a huge payday for a few high-end companies. "While Players search for Teller-Bravo. The Quarantine around Impyra continues with no end in sight. The strike team sent in is sending back disturbing reports and footage." The footage starts to play, and I lose my appetite.

The Parasite isn't something that's nice to look at, and the things it does to living, thinking creatures disgusts me. I understand eating meat for protein and energy but wiping out all life in the universe by eating it is another thing entirely. "As you can see from the images and footage, the Parasite isn't to be trifled with." That's an understatement.

~~~(Location: Relaxing in Bathtub)~~~

I'm so thankful that Scott and I are no longer genetically related, and that we can do these things. He's probably distracted by something he seen on the News, but that's not a problem for me. I'm totally relaxed and fully satisfied. "I wonder how Lizzy and Running Rogue Inc. is going now..." Lizzy wasn't happy about being fired.

Let's just say she's never been fired from a job in her life, and the feeling it gave her sent rage through her body. She leveled out after a while and figured it was for the best. Nothing is catching that Dreadnaught. Not with the technology at its hands and how others can't compare. "Are you coming!!?" I decide to see if Scott is coming or not, but there is no answer.

A sigh escapes my lips as soft footsteps approach the bathroom, and he pokes his head in. He gives me a smile, and I seductively lower my head, inviting him into the water. "The waters nice and warm..." He's quick to get in, and he sits on the opposite side of me. Letting out a groan as the warm water sinks in. We needed it today.
