Deployment

Journey

The sun was strong in the morning and Varya was running at his side, the rest of the crew was behind them. The lonely beach was perfect, and he could see a group of jaunters in the water. They were marine mammals that resembled a fusion between a dolphin with a shark, they were cute, but could eat you in a second. In the waterline where the water caresses the sand, the purple birds were resting their wings, their name was kaklans. John did the course first, setting the time for the rest of the crew. After the workout, Varya took him to a secluded beach that was hidden by the other ones by a few rocks, there he could see a little building with a pier in the distance. She was wielding a smug smile when she took his armour off. She was wearing her bikini as underwear. He was using his shorts to swim. They entered the water near the rocks, the tide was mild and the water a little cold. She was a great swimmer and ended up swimming for long while. Varya's hair was wet and over her face when they go out. John noted more people this time, they where all naked.
"I forgot to say that this is a nudist beach, puppy." Varya said with a smug smile.
John took his shorts off instantly to sat down in the sand. Varya was looking at him with surprise in her eyes. She took her bikini of near him. Her slim figure was perfect, and she got a scar just between her breasts.
"Well, you always surprise me, puppy. You have no shame..." Said after sitting next to him.
"I lost it in juvie." John replied while looking at the sea. "They give me a... bath of sorts, the guards I mean. They broke some of my ribs and my knee..."
"Shit..." Varya was frustrated. "Sorry, puppy."
"After that they moved me to Brazil, nobody knew me there." John added like nothing. "Don't worry about it."
"It's not that, I just want to have a conversation with you that doesn't bring you bad memories." Varya replied while crossing her legs. "Now, being naked at your side feels... childish."
"Sorry." John said while scratching his head.
"Shut up, you idiot." Varya was obfuscated. "You took my fun away." Ended with a smile.
"Well, I'm not a kid, Varya."
"I can see that." Replied instantly. "When are you going to ask about my scar?"
"Never, that would be admitting that I was looking at you." John replied with a smile.
Varya was laughing at him, and she just jump over him, pining him against the sand.
"Just look then, I'm giving you permission." Said with a smile. "You're weird."
The scar marked a diagonal in the middle of her breast, it was deep and healed. She was a beautiful woman.
"Shrapnel?" John said without protesting.
"Something like that... you're the first to see it." Varya was ashamed, her face wasn't used to that expression. "We were in a factory looking for a team of missing researchers. It was a trap. A claymore exploded in front of us... the armour saved my tits; they are small enough."
Varya was vulnerable, it was the first time he seen her like that.
"Did you keep moving?"
"Yeah, EAN armours have a nanogel container for this kind of wounds. Usually useless, a hole in your armour usually means death, but it saved my life this time." Varya added with her eyes locked in his chest. "We fought, it was a disaster, ended up under a collapsed roof."
"Did you lose someone?"
"My pilot and a sharpshooter." The woman was looking at the sea. "Let's go to the water..."
John follow her util they started to float in the tide. He liked her waist.
"By the way, I think they perfect." Said carelessly.
"Are you talking about my tits?" Varya replied jokingly.
"Yeah, you sounded insecure about it. The fit your figure perfectly."
Her true smile was beautiful.
"And I was thinking that you were gay."
She kissed his cheek with affection before crossing her arms behind his neck.
"You look really nice naked, puppy." Ended with a smug smile. "You have a lot of... self-control."
"I..."
"Don't say anything. I'm going to take you to the meeting, puppy. Put your uniform after lunch. They're worried about the ring ties to the pirates."
"Those were bad news."
"I wouldn't worry too much about it." Varya said at loud. "We're having a date later too; I want to take you somewhere."
"Ok..." John was thinking about her. "Varya... what are you doing?"
"I don't know. I'm really bad a this, so... just follow my lead." Replied with a smile.
"I..."
"Let's go."
Varya swam hastily away from him.
