Halo 3: ODST Operation Cup o' Doom

Chapter Nine

Rha' knocked on Aria's door, but got no response. "Maybe she's not in her room?" He though as her turned away from the door.
Singing got his attention and he turned back to it, pressing an ear to it.
He knocked again. "Aria?"
She still didn't respond.
He grabbed his master key and unlocked the door before slowly opening it.
Her singing grew louder as he poked his head inside.
She had on some old style headphones and was dancing around her room barefoot, in a tank top and booty shorts.
His eyes widened. "Oh, wow!!" He nearly gasped.
Her voice was absolutely beautiful especially compared to her drunk singing.
His eyes trailed over her figure slowly, taking in every curve and detail.
There was no controlling the instant arousal he got. He clamped his mandibles shut in an attempt to keep himself from drooling.
She suddenly turned to him, spotting him in the doorway. Surprisingly, it didn't startle her.
Instead, she slowly pulled the headphones from her ears, resting them around her neck. She began to fiddle with the wire. "Don't want to leave anything to the imagination, Sir?" She teased.
He laughed nervously. "I'm sorry, Aria. I wanted to talk to you, but I forgot what I was going to say."
She giggled and slowly walked up to him. A seductive smile spread across her lips as she neared him. She pressed a hand to his chest armor and slowly glided it downward. She licked her lips as she raised her eyes to his. "You broke into my room, Sir. Clearly you wanted something more then just to talk to me." She teased. "I'm not drunk now. Would you try and stop me from seducing you?"
"Sir?" A female voice called to him from a distance.
He jumped and looked around. He didn't realize had closed her door almost immediately and was leaned against the bulkhead as he tried to calm his nerves.
"Sir?"
He looked down to see Muhmep.
"Ah, there you are. Welcome back to reality, Sir!"
He looked at her confused. "What?"
"You were daydreaming and, from the looks of it, it must have been a pretty juicy one." She replied with a sly smirk.
He turned away from her quickly. "I have some business to take care of." He stated, ignoring her as he started walking away.
She followed him. "I can help you with that."
"Pardon?!"
"I can help you make that daydream a reality."
"What would you know about that?"
"I know you like Aria."
He stopped dead in his tracks and glanced over at her. "What are you talking about, Corporal?"
She snorted. "It is rather obvious, Sir. As it is obvious that she likes you. Come on! You cannot deny that! The entire division knows it!" She stood on her toes, trying to get as close to him as possible. "I can give you some good pick-up lines."
"What is a 'pick-up line'?" He asked, bewildered by the word.
"It's a conversation opener with the intent of engaging an unfamiliar person for romance or dating."
"We're not unfamiliar with each other, though."
She shrugged. "You can still use one on her."
"Really!?"
"Oh yes, and I hear they work quite well, Sir! Poonflip seems to have a lot of knowledge about them as well. Shall I get him?"
"Hmmm.... Sure, why not? I'll be in my office. Meet me there in thirty minutes and share some of these 'pick-up lines' with me."
"With pleasure, Sir."
****
"Wanna turn my software into hardware?" He said as sexily as possible, leaning over his desk.
Muhmep about fell out off her chair, laughing hysterically.
Poonflip, on the other hand, was trying hard not to laugh. He had to turn his back on Rha' as he tried to recompose himself.
"What? Did I do it wrong?"
"No, not at all, Sir. It's just that it sounds so funny coming from a Sangheili."
"Then it won't work."
She regained herself. "Try saying it without your headdress on, Sir."
Rha' pulled his headdress off, lowering it to the desk.
Poonflip turned back around and cocked his head slightly. "Perhaps not that line." He looked at Muhmep. "His software is always hardware whenever the Sergeant is around."
He wanted to hide beneath his desk. "I did not think anyone noticed." He whispered under his breath.
"What was that, Sir?" He asked, looking back at him.
He cleared his throat. "I said, give me another line then. What do you guys do while standing in formation? Do you all just stare at my crotch whenever I am in the room?!"
Muhmep and Poonflip exchanged glances before she snorted in amusement. "Some do."
He sighed and shook his head.
"Chief and Sergeant Waters in particular." Muhmep added.
"Yes, I remember that day all too well!" Rha' muttered in annoyance.
They went over a few more lines before a knock interrupted them.
"Enter." Rha' said, looking up at the door.
It slid open to reveal Aria.
He nearly went pale. "A...Aria!"
"I'm sorry. Am I interrupting something?"
"Oh, no. Not at all. They just wanted to ask me some questions. They were about to leave anyway." He took a glance at them.
They both nodded. "Good night, Sir." They said together, leaving the room.
He shifted nervously in his chair as she stopped before him.
She fidgeted slightly. "I saw you were still up and brought you a coffee." She said, handing him a cup.
"Oh, thank you, Aria." He took it from her. "You literally read my mind."
She smiled and held her cup with both hands before taking a sip.
"You too, huh?" He asked, watching her. "What has you up so late?"
She took a shy glance away from him before turning her eyes back to his. "I though I'd offer you some help. I am your division sergeant after all. I can't leave you with all the work, Sir."
He smiled. "There are some things only I need to worry about, darling, but I do appreciate the offer, and you are welcome to keep me company."
She blushed and lowered her head as she tried to hide the deep smile that formed on her lips. "He called me darling!" Her mind screamed at her.
"How's your wound healing?" He asked suddenly.
She looked up at him. "Pretty good. It still hurts a little. On the plus side, there is minimal scarring. Kayla gave me an ointment to put on it daily to help with that."
"Mind if I have a look?"
She moved around the desk to stand beside him. She lowered her coffee to the desk and reached for her shirt, but he was already pulling it up.
He touched her scar gently.
"Oh." She jumped slightly, startling him.
"I'm sorry. Did I hurt you?"
"No." She smiled. "Your hands are kinda cold, Sir."
He chuckled and pressed his hand to her side as his other hand slowly slipped under her shirt to hold her. Her warm, soft flesh was pleasing to the touch.
Aria's faced flushed as she looked at him.
He was content and nearly lost in his actions as his hands held her hips. His hands soon moved upward under her shirt, caressing her soft skin with each upward movement.
"I am so in love with you." He whispered in Sangheili, completely forgetting that she was fluent in his language. He suddenly snapped out of his trance and pulled his hands back. "I'm sorry, Aria. I am not myself right now. Can you please excuse me?"
She smiled. "Of course, Sir." She fixed her shirt and grabbed her coffee before moving to the front of his desk.
He sighed and subconsciously pulled a wooden ball of nested concentric spheres from his desk and began to fiddle with it.
"What's that?" She asked, leaning over his desk.
"Huh? Oh, this is called an arum. It is a puzzle designed to teach patience when faced with a difficult problem. Sangheili children mostly play with this, but it is not uncommon for adults to play with it when needed." He handed it to her. "Hidden in the core is a small gem crystal that can only be shaken free when you work out the alignment of spheres."
She place her coffee back on his desk as she looked it over. "That looks difficult. I don't see how that can teach patience. It would drive me crazy!" She replied, handing it back.
He chuckled, fiddling with it once again.
Aria cocked her head slightly. "Are you faced with a difficult problem, Sir?"
He sighed and looked down at the ball. "In a way, yes."
"Maybe I can help?"
"I am going to consult this arum first. When I have solved the puzzle, I will find you."
"Just remember, I am here for you as well, Sir. As much as you are here for me." She smiled and grabbed her coffee. "I will be in my quarters when you are ready."
He returned her smile, watching her depart.
Once the door closed, Aria sighed heavily and leaned against it. Her heart was nearly racing. She placed a hand to her chest. "I am so in love with you too, Sir." She whispered in Sangheili.
****
Rha' smiled, lifting the small crystal. "I am going to claim her now, before I am too late."
A knock on the door startled him slightly.
"Enter."
The door slid open.
"Sir?" Aria asked, poking her head in. "I'm sorry to bother you. I know you wanted to be left alone, but I can't sleep and I really need to talk to you."
He rose from the chair and neared her. "You are not bothering me. Please come in."
She entered and folded her hands together as the door closed behind her.
He held his hand before her. "This is the crystal that resides inside the ball."
"Wow! It's beautiful! You solved it already!?" She asked in surprise. "It's only been a couple hours."
He chuckled and nodded. "Indeed, I did. It is rather simple actually." He replied, placing the crystal back into the ball before tossing it onto his desk. "What is it you wanted to talk to me about?"
Aria sighed and looked down at the floor. "I don't even know where to start. It's kinda complicated and I'm nervous."
Rha' smiled. "Perhaps I will start first. Remember that difficult problem I need to face?"
She looked up at him and nodded.
"It is my feelings for you. I can't ignore them any longer." He took her shoulders and bent her back slightly. "Wanna turn my software into hardware?" He asked, seductively.
Aria's eyes widened, but then a gentle laugh escaped her. "You have been talking with Corporal Hicks haven't you?"
"That's obvious?"
She touched his cheek. "She is the pick-up line queen around here."
"Well, this is embarrassing."
"No. I think it's cute, Sir." She pulled him close. "I would love to turn your software into hardware, and install it." She whispered almost seductively, pressing her lips against his mandibles.
Her kiss was deep and almost desperate.
All the feelings she had tried to suppress were finally free as her hands slid down the armor of his chest. Before she knew it, Rha' had lifted her to the desk, knocking his helmet and a few papers to the floor.
She wrapped her legs around his waist as they kissed deeply.
She giggled suddenly as he moved his large hands to her hips.
He slowly pulled away from her lips. "You would allow me to mate you?"
"Mmmm, yes." She whispered, arching her body against his. "I want you now. After all, I am so very in love with you." She whispered in Sangheili as her eyes looked into his with great desire.
He smiled, playing his hands over her small body before kissing her lips again.
The door to his office suddenly came open to reveal Ranger Mansooree. "Sir, Corporal Hicks has a question for.... you...." He's voice trailed off as he looked up at them.
Rha' looked down at Aria and then back at the Ranger. "Um.... I am not even going to try and explain this." He muttered.
Aria giggled beneath him.
Muhmep looked around the Ranger and snickered. "Yes!" She blurted. "It worked! Poonflip, it worked!!"
She then left, leaving the Ranger standing awkwardly in the doorway.
He looked back, seeing she was gone and looked back into the room. "I am so sorry to have intruded on you, Sir." He whispered, backing away from the door.
Rha' straitened himself and lifted Aria from the desk.
She giggled again. "I think we scarred him for life."
He chuckled. "Indeed." He kissed her lips tenderly. "Wait for me in my room, love. I am going to have a talk with him."
Aria nodded and made her way to the door.
Rha' grabbed her hand, stopping her. "All things considering, are you sure this is what you want? I know what the consequences are, Aria."
She looked down at his hand before raising her eyes to his. "Even if it means I have to give up my life as an ODST Sergeant, yes. I love you, Rha'. That is not a word I throw around lightly either. I want to be with you, no matter the outcome."
He kissed her hand. "I love you too, Aria." He released her. "See you in a few minutes."
She smiled and left the room.
He followed her out the door, but they went separate ways.
****
Ranger Mansooree looked up at Rha' as he approached. "Sir." He greeted with a bow of his head.
"I am your brother, Odin. Sir is not required of you outside of work."
He sighed and looked away from him, his eyes once again focused on the stars outside the large bay window.
"What ails you, brother?"
Odin turned his eyes to him, looking at his reflection. "Rha', are you sure a relationship with Aria is a good idea? She is our division sergeant, and you are our officer. That is against so many rules and regulations."
Rha' chuckled. "Indeed it is. Does that make you lose respect for me?"
His eyes widened before he turned to him. "No, Sir! Not at all."
"Does that make you lose respect for Aria?"
He hesitated and lowered his eyes. "Perhaps. She is our leader as much as you are. She is the first we go to for answers. She is the last person I would have imagined that would break the rules."
Rha' touched his shoulder. "As am I, Odin. Do not shy away from your feelings of disrespect because we are brothers. Unfortunately, love has no boundaries and you of all Sangheili know that."
"I just don't want you two to get into trouble."
"I appreciate that, but don't worry. Aria and I are responsible. What happens behind closed doors, stays there. Our working relationship will remain the same." He pulled his hand back. "She is waiting for me, so I must go. Tonight I will no longer be a single male, and that is something I have been longing for."
"But Rha', you have swordsman blood coursing through your veins. Swordsman are meant to be alone. It is a Sangheili law."
He chuckled. "My father may be a swordsman, and that bloodline has been passed to me, but I refuse to live life alone. Besides, Aria is a Human. Remember, it is a Sangheili law and it only states swordsman cannot have Sangheili mates."
Odin chuckled and shook his head. "You always find loopholes."
"Our mother once said the same thing."
****
Aria opened the door to Rha's room.
Before she could step into it, a familiar male voice stopped her. "What are you doing, Aria? That's Ultra Bahtiyaree's room."
She turned to face him. "Yes, George. I am aware. We have a prior engagement and he asked me to wait for him here."
"Here!? In his personal quarters!?" He cocked and eyebrow and smiled slyly.
She shied away from him.
"You mean.... Are you serious!?"
She nodded. "I finally get the man of my dreams. For once, life is giving me what I want."
"Are you sure that's a good idea, Aria. There are serious consequences for that if you get caught."
"I don't care." She whispered. "We better not get caught then."
"Look, as long as this is what you want and it makes you happy, I'm not going to stop you. I'm your best friend, Aria. If you're happy, I'm happy."
She smiled at him. "Thanks, George."
Rha' was soon spotted approaching them.
"Have a good night." He winked at her before going on his way.
A gentle blush touched her cheeks as she looked away.
Rha's hand suddenly took hers. His touch sent her heart aflutter. She looked up at him.
He smiled down at her before guiding her into his room. He closed the door behind them and ensured the lock was set. They were now encased in darkness.
Rha' reached for her, his hands feeling on her gentle curves.
Aria shuddered hard, looking up at the glowing eyes of his helmet.
"Are you afraid?" He asked in a deep, yet seductive voice.
Her heart thumped harder then ever before. "I am not afraid." She whispered.
Perhaps there was a hint of fear, but mostly it was because of the anticipation of what was about to come. She was well aware of how much bigger he was compared to her and it both frightened and excited her.
He released her and moved away from her.
Because of his helmet, he could see in the dark. Aria, however, was pretty much blind. The only thing she could see was the small lights on his armor and his eyes.
Rha' smiled as he moved around her, stalking her like prey.
She began to tremble. "Is this a Sangheili mating ritual?" She asked in a shaky whisper.
He stopped behind her, leaning close. "I thought you weren't afraid?" His voice was tainted with desire as his hands took her hips.
"I...I'm not."
He chuckled. "I can smell your fear, Aria." He leaned close to her ear. "Between that and your desire, it's driving my senses crazy!"
She gasped slightly as his fingers suddenly dug into her shirt. He caught both her shirt and undershirt before slowly pulling them over her head. She felt the coolness of his room touch her bare skin, causing a shudder.
His hands soon caressed her, his fingers gently gliding across her soft flesh. His touch coaxing another shudder from her as goose bumps soon littered her skin.
She closed her eyes, listening to his rapid breaths mix with hers.
He gently turned her around. "Even in darkness you are beautiful." He whispered.
She was suddenly lifted into his arms and laid gently onto his bed.
He knelt between her knees as he moved over her, dominating her.
She moved her hands to his headdress, feeling on the smooth material as her hands searched for the fins. Taking them in her hands, she slowly pulled his headdress from his face. It was a lot heavier then she imagined making her struggle slightly.
He grabbed it and dropped it on the floor.
She took his cheeks and pulled him close, locking them in a kiss.
He grabbed her small hands and pushed them into the pillow above her head as he returned her delicious kiss.
She moaned gently.
He broke their kiss and nibbled at her neck.
She giggled and began to squirm beneath him. "That tickles!" She nearly squealed as she tried to get away from him.
He chuckled and moved to the other side of her neck. He rather enjoyed the way she moved beneath his heavy body.
She tugged at her hands as she started laughing. "Rha'!!"
He pulled away from her neck and immediately began to nibble between her breasts.
She bit her lower lip and moaned once again. Her entire body was on fire!
His hands slowly released hers, gliding his down her arms before touching and teasing her body. Her back arched as his hands caressed her breasts making her whimper, her hands gliding down the armor of his chest.
Rha's hands moved down her stomach before holding her hips as his nibbles turned to kisses. He continued to plant kisses across her chest until he found her breasts.
She gasped inwardly. The feeling of his hot mouth mixed with the cool silk of her bra was a sensational feeling. She moaned and slowly glided her hands down his sides where her fingertips dug into his jumpsuit. Her back arched again as she locked her legs around his waist and began to grind against him. "Oh, Rha'!" She whimpered breathlessly.
He grimace suddenly and pulled away from her breast. His loins were aching. He was so aroused, he thought he'd burst through his jumpsuit. He slowly kissed his way down her stomach, his hands caressing her legs and forcing them to release their hold on his waist as he moved off her.
A dim light clicked on suddenly.
She looked at the light before turning her eyes to Rha'.
He was standing beside the bed, smiling down at her. "You have no idea how many times I've dreamt of this moment. How many times I've imagined you here, lying in bed with me, wrapped up in my arms." He whispered. "Your soft, naked body entwined with mine."
She smiled and got off the bed, standing before him. "I do actually. I've had similar thoughts with you." Her hands touched his chest armor. "I always try to imagine you without your armor. Just the thought of your muscular body against mine sends chills through me."
He slowly began to remove his armor. "Then I shall not make you wait any longer."
His heavy armor hit the floor with a thud as he took it off, piece by piece.
Aria could feel the butterflies in her stomach.
Before long, only his jumpsuit remained.
She rubbed her hands across his broad chest before taking the zipper in her fingers.
Her hands trembling, she slowly unzipped it to his waist. She then pushed her hands under the fabric, caressing his bare chest.
Rha' smiled and glided his hands behind her back, taking the clasp of her bra in his fingers. "Are you still sure?"
She raised her eyes to his. "Yes. I love you and nothing will change my mind. I have loved you since I first laid eyes on you."
"That makes two of us." He whispered as he tried to unsnap it. He huffed and grabbed the band with both hand. "This wretched thing is impossible!"
She giggled and touched his upper arms. "Want me to take it off?"
"No, I will get it." He huffed again. "Maybe?"
She giggled once again, but before she could form a sentence, Rha' snarled in frustration and ripped the band in half.
He pulled it from her body and tossed it aside. "Be gone, burdensome cloth!" He looked down at her as he raised his hands to her bare breasts. "You are so beautiful!" He whispered, caressing her tender flesh.
She closed her eyes and tilted her head back. "Oh, Rha'!" She whispered huskily.
He went back to nibbling on her neck as he continued to caress her.
She smiled and slipped her hands up to his shoulders, guiding the jumpsuit from his upper body. He pulled his arms free and immediately pulled her into his embrace, kissing her lips deeply. A shudder worked its way through his body as her bare breasts pressed to his stomach.
He suddenly spun her around. It started her, making her cry out.
He chuckled and slowly glided a hand down her bare torso. "Mmmm, I just want to feel your naked body." He whispered hungrily.
She pressed herself against him as his hand ventured to her pants. He unbutton them with ease and released them, allowing them to fall down her legs.
She kicked off her shoes before pulling her feet free of the pants that now pooled over them, and kicking them to the side as well.
Rha' tickled her belly before slowly inching his fingers between her legs where he rubbed her gently.
Aria moaned and closed her eyes as she laid her head against him. "Oh, take me now." She whispered.
He pulled his hand back up to the band of her panties and pushed it beneath them.
She gasped as his fingers began to explore her neither region. She bit her lower lip and shuddered as a whimper escaped her throat. He had found the spot that gave her the most pleasure and he began to rub her.
She began to squirm and moan as her hips subconsciously moved against his fingers.
He smiled and caressed her breasts with his other hand as he worked her.
Before long her moans were louder and more desperate as she began to buck against him. In a matter of minutes, he had worked her into an intense orgasm. Her toes curled as she cried out and fell limp over his left arm. She was breathing hard and trembling.
"Are you okay, Aria?" He asked, slightly startled.
"Yes!" She breathed. "I'm fine. I am more then fine. Wow!!"
He nibbled at her neck again as he slipped a finger into her.
She grabbed his arm and arched her back as she cried out again.
He supported her as he continued thrusting his finger into her, making her more and more wet. She was making an array of noises as she moved with him.
He soon worked her into another orgasm. Her legs were shaking so bad, she couldn't even stand on them anymore.
He lifted her into his arms and gently laid her onto the bed where he finished undressing her.
Aria felt as if she was lighter then air. Her heart beat so hard in her chest and her body trembled with anticipation and desire; even still a hint of fear.
Rha' touched her chest before slowly gliding his hand downward. "Mmmm, mine." He whispered with a seductive growl. He pulled away from her and slipped out of his jumpsuit before crawling onto her.
He too trembled, but his was more from the anticipation of what was coming. He pressed his mandibles to her lips as his hands caressed her body once again.
Her hands were also caressing him as she glided her soft legs up his, stopping her knees at his waist.
He shuddered and adjusted himself.
She arched against him slightly, pressing her hips to his. A moan escaped his throat, feeling her press against his throbbing girth.
He grabbed her hips and thrust into her.
The cry of pain that escaped her was nearly a scream as she arched her body against his and grabbed his upper arms tightly.
Rha' stopped, momentarily frightened by her cry of pain. "Are you okay, my love?"
She nodded. "Mmm, yes. Please don't stop."
He slowly began to rock his hips.
She whimpered as a tear fell from her eye. He was huge and it took her a moment to get used to him being inside her.
Before long they were lost in the pleasures of sex.
He pressed his hands into the pillow to better support himself as he took her almost desperately. The intense desires sent his mind to cloud nine, making his thrusts a bit too painful.
Aria whimpered and gripped his biceps as she bent her body against his, wrapping her legs tightly around his waist in an attempt to slow him down. "Rha'." She whispered suddenly. "I'm not a Sangheili, please calm down. I'm smaller then you and you're starting to hurt me."
He grunted and lowered his head, slowing his thrusts. "I'm sorry, baby. I got too caught up in the moment." He nibbled at the silky flesh of her neck. "I was very desperate to have you."
She giggled and then moaned, moving her small hands to his broad chest. Her legs slowly loosened their grip on his waist as she began to move with him.
He moaned and buried his face against her neck. "I can't.... I.... The pleasure...." He pulled his head back as his body arched, a growl of lust escaping him. "I must take you to my fullest extent!" He dug his fingers into the pillow as he began to thrust into her desperately once again.
He was right, the pleasure was amazing. Her mind went into deep space, but was yanked back to reality as his thrusts became painful once again.
It was hard for her to concentrate as the pain intermingled with the pleasure. She slowly glided her hands down his sweat-slick chest, feeling both his hearts beating rapidly.
His body trembled as he growled, trying desperately not to succumb to his orgasm.
Aria grabbed his shoulders and somehow managed to roll him onto his back.
It startled him slightly, his hands griping her hips.
She smiled down at him as her hands rubbed his chest. She leaned toward him, kissing his neck. "My turn." She whispered.
Rha' continued to hold her hips tightly as she moved over him slowly. He growled and closed his eyes tightly. "You're torturing me, baby."
She giggled and pushed her hips against his, keeping him buried deep inside her.
His back arched as his hands moved to grip the bed sheets so hard, he pulled the bottom sheet loose.
She leaned close to his ear. "I can feel you throbbing inside me. Release it." She said in a sexy whisper.
He grimaced. "Not yet." He managed to whisper. "I want more!" His hands gripped her hips suddenly.
Aria kissed his chest as she continued her slow movement. She then moved her kisses back to his neck, her breasts brushing against his chest as she moved upward.
The feeling of her hard nipples grazing his chest sent his senses ablaze.
He flipped her to her back where he took her desperately once again. He growled in great pleasure as his back arched. His body trembled harder then before as he dug his fingers into the pillow, filling her with his hot seed.
She moaned and rubbed his chest, feeling the rush deep inside her. Her stomach tingled as her body trembled beneath his. Her breaths were almost gasps and her heart felt as if it would erupt from her chest. Her legs went numb as her orgasm echoed his, leaving her limp and exhausted beneath him.
He leaned back slightly and smiled down at her. Her sweat-slick body glistened slightly in the dim light. "You are now my mate." He whispered passionately in Sangheili.
She returned his smile and touched his cheeks. "and you are mine." She whispered in Sangheili before pressing her lips against his mandibles.
They kissed deeply as they regained their strength.
Before long, they were getting worked up again.
Aria flipped Rha' to his back, attempting to pin him as her hands glided down his arms. "Do you like to be dominated?"
"Oh, no no, darling." He flipped her back onto her back. "You're at my mercy. I am the dominant one."
"Are you?" She flipped him again, but this time there was no bed.
They both cried out as they fell to the floor.
Rha' chuckled and rolled onto her. "Yep, you are still at my mercy."
She smiled as her hands took his cheeks. "I like being beneath you." She said in a seductive whisper. "I love you, Rha'."
"I love you too, Aria."
They were soon locked in a passionate kiss.
Suddenly a knock interrupted them.
Rha' ended the kiss and lifted his head, looking toward the door.
Aria giggled playfully and wrapped her legs around his waist. "Ignore it."
He smiled down at her and nibbled at her neck.
She squeaked and tried moving her neck from his nibbles. "That tickles."
There was another knock, but Rha' ignored it and slowly nibbled his way to her breasts before carefully taking one of her nipples in his mandibles.
She whimpered and arched her back. "Oh, Rha'." She moaned. "Make love to me again."
Not taking his attention off her nipple, he pushed into her. She whined and gripped his biceps. He soon moved his hips in gentle thrusts, taking her as tenderly as possible.
He suddenly pulled her up onto his lap as he sat up on his legs. She whimpered as the change in position pushed him all the way into her. Her hands were soon all over his body, touching and rubbing all the right places.
He stood and moved back to the bed, lowering her onto it as his kisses slowly worked their way to her lips. "I'm still worn out. I don't know how much longer I can last." He whispered, a bead of sweat rolling down his neck.
She smiled and locked her legs around his, thrusting her hips into his. "Lay down and let me dominate you."
Rha' flipped himself to his back, pulling her onto him. This time he concentrated on her body as his hands caressed her skin.
She sat up, her hands pressed to his chest as her back arched. The way she arched her body was enticing. It pushed her breasts out beautifully. His hands took her hips before slowly gliding upward to her breasts, rubbing them tenderly.
She whimpered, keeping her back arched as she moved over him.
He kept his hands on her breasts, rubbing, kneading and fondling them.
A bead of sweat soon drizzled down her chest as her breathing became almost rapid.
He smiled.
She was on the verge of orgasm.
She arched back further as a moan escaped her lips. She then bit her lower lip, her body trembling uncontrollably.
Her actions sent him into an orgasm.
He gripped her hips suddenly as his entire body jolted before he thrust his hips upward and released. A moan of relief escaped his throat. His body felt extremely relaxed suddenly, making him fall limp with a sigh of great satisfaction.
Aria cried out, her orgasm echoing his. She clenched her teeth as she tried to make it last just a moment longer. She began to ride him. Her entire body suddenly went numb and was all tingly as a shudder worked it's way through her.
Then it was over.
She collapsed onto him, both of them exhausted, trembling, and trying to catch their breath.
A knock once again interrupted their passion.
"Ultra Bahtiyaree?" Ranger Mansooree spoke suddenly, knocking again. "Sir? I really need to speak with you."
Rha' sighed heavily. "I better see what he wants."
Aria smiled and nodded, moving off him.
He leaned over her and kissed her lips tenderly before he rose off the bed. "Give me a moment, Ranger Mansooree."
"Yes, Sir." He replied.
Aria covered herself with the blankets as Rha' pulled on his jumpsuit and went for the door.
He opened and stepped out into the dim corridor.
Ranger Mansooree caught a glimpse of Aria on Rha's bed before the door closed halfway behind him.
Their conversation was brief as they discussed what should be done about a couple of troublesome Unggoy.
Aria tried to listen, but fell in and out of sleep. Her body was relaxed, but she was extremely worn out and quite sore.
Ranger Mansooree ended the conversation and bid him good night before going on his way.
Rha' came back into the room. Once the door closed and locked, he ridded himself of the jumpsuit and moved back to the bed. He crawled onto it and slowly pulled the blanks from Aria's body as he kissed her neck.
He then smiled down at her.
She had fallen asleep.
He rubbed her right breast as he cuddled against her. "Good night, my love." He whispered in her ear as he pulled the blankets over them and fell asleep.

Aria yawned and rolled over, cuddling against Rha's chest.
He moaned and wrapped his arms around her before falling silent.
She smiled and took a glance at the clock before closing her eyes once again. Her eyes snapped open as she realized the time.
"Rha'." She shook him.
Startled, he leaped off the bed and took a fighting stance, still half asleep. "What!? What's wrong!?"
She couldn't help but laugh.
He finally woke up and looked around the room.
She slowly crawled toward him before gliding a finger down his stomach. "We're going to be late for roll call if we don't get up now."
"Oh." He chuckled. "Is that all?" A shudder shook his body as her touch caused goose bumps.
She pressed her lips to his stomach suddenly.
"Mmmm." He moaned. "Let's not get ourselves worked up. We have to get to work."
"I know." She whispered seductively. She sat up on her knees, her hands pressed to his chest. "Let's take a shower first."
He smiled down at her as she slid of the bed and took his hand, leading him to the bathroom.
Though they only had an hour before they had to be at work, they thoroughly enjoyed their shower together.
The kissed deeply and passionately as Aria lathered the soap over Rha's muscular chest.
He worked his fingers through her shampoo covered hair, massaging her scalp gently.
Their hands were all over each other, rubbing soap, washcloths, and even just their bare hands in all the right places.
Before long, they were locked in passion as the hot water rushed over them.
Rha' held her against the bulkhead of the shower as his hands gripped her firm ass. Her legs were wrapped tightly around his waist as she moved with him.
"Oh, Rha'!" She cried out, gripping his wrists. "Oh!"
The moans that escaped her lips were sending chills down his spine.
She suddenly began to hyperventilate as she soon went into orgasm, her moans and cries echoing one after the other.
He kept his grip on her ass as he pulled her hips against his and growled, pumping her full of his seed as his orgasm tore through him.
Her legs began shaking as they lost their hold on his waist. They were both breathing hard and trembling despite the heat of the water.
Rha' laid his head in the crook of her neck. "A...Aria." He managed to whisper. "I could stay like this forever."
She wrapped her arms around his neck. "Me too."
"My beautiful mate." He whispered in Sangheili. "Mine. All mine."
The tingles made their way down her spine. She loved the way he said those words.
Once they regained their strength and finished showering, Aria hurriedly got dressed and ran for the door. "I'll have the division assembled and ready for your order, Sir."
Rha' stopped her before she was completely out the door. He gave her one last kiss. "See you in a fifteen minutes, Serge."
