Dark Nine [18+]

Chapter Twenty-Two

I eat a feast and I forget everything that concerns me for a small time.

Terra brought me to a little garden area around the south of the Kor Prison, overgrown with moss onto the stone benches and table, but it's cute, with a canopy of vines growing along stone arches on either end, and all around are green, purple and blue sparkling plants.

It was cute. Aesthetic and cozy and bathed in the light of the three moons. I liked it a lot.

Along the table is everything I can want for, all from Earth – ordered via the ET Key food delivery service. It wasn't cheap but my Kors didn't care, they wanted me to eat what I was used to.

There wasn't much food around here anyway... I don't count... although Terra now sits opposite me, as Mars waits outside our quaint garden, patrolling and looking up at the sky, thinking deeply to himself.

I finish eating a bunch of pasta, salad, pizza and chocolate mousse. In how long? Minutes.

Terra is quietly aroused by me eating so fast, I don't know why – but I get that feeling by the way his neon blue eyes focus in sharply to watch me chew up everything.

Weird? Um. Hell yeah. Did I care when I was this hungry? Hell no.

"Thank you, oh my gosh," I belch uncontrollably from eating so fast on an empty stomach, as my belly growls and grumbles after I speed-ate to clear off most of the steamy fresh plates of welcome human food as quickly as possible, "I was beyond starving. You have no idea."

Terra happily piles up the plates and pushes them aside, so he can reach over the table and pick up both my hands.

He just holds them gently while he watches over me, a question in his gaze, "What troubles you, Empress?"

"Everything," I answer, laughing good naturedly, honestly feeling a lot better after feeding me and the baby.

"The universe is filled with troubles, Diana," Terra murmurs quietly, "If you run, you'll run into others who'll trouble you. Traps are everywhere. There are enemies everywhere."

"Are you trying to say I'm safest here because my friends are the big bad monsters of the universe?" I ask and Terra just smiles handsomely, obviously agreeing to that sentiment.

"Now, be honest with us about something. Do you enjoy being Empress?" Terra changes topics.

"I guess so," I answer honestly, "Hard to know, only been here temporarily."

"I want to know because we are all vulnerable until we accept each other, we are all concerned you'll disappear again. How does a Dark Nine feel at home?" Terra is really trying to make me feel comfortable here, I can tell, and I do appreciate that. I think before I answer, and as I think, Terra releases one of my hands, reaches into the back of his pants and pulls out a long slender gun, opening my one hand to put the gun in my palm, "Mercury said you'd like this one," Terra smiles, "S-Ray. S stands for Stealth. Come here and I'll show you how to use it," Terra waits for me to comply, and I see he has a cheeky look in his eye. He wants to touch me. I smile back, and he squeezes my hand, pulling me over the top of the table.

I climb and crawl over to his side, and Terra pulls me down onto his lap, sitting sideways – while his shaft is pressed against my thigh, and yes, it's hard and very much upright... and looking very, very tasty.

I feel like my pussy is instantly wet, and he'll be able to tell, since I'm still naked.

Terra shows me the button on the end, "Spin it, it goes invisible, just like us," he shows me how to do it, then I copy him, "Hold it to the inside of your wrist, press the end in like a pen, it'll shrink and stick to your skin at a nano level. It comes back to full size if you just stroke your wrist with your hand..." Terra raises a brow, knowing I'm holding a gun and sitting next to his bodily weapon, as it pulses and glows. His voice is getting darker, his fangs are drooling too, I can see since I'm so close.
