The Last Ship (18+)

Chapter Twenty-Three: Their Thoughts.

The Irinaut breathed heavily. He pulled Luna firmly against his chest as he licked up her shoulder. Zio held her hips as he nuzzled against her in a loving manner. He huffed as he ran his hands up and down her body. The male let out a low groan as he nipped at her lightly, 'You're so beautiful.' Zio ran his fingers through her hair. He lifted his head and gave her a tender kiss, 'Are you hungry?' Zio knew he had hurt her, but it had been expected by him. The male rubbed against her hip.

Luna breathed softly. She smiled lightly before bringing her hands over and resting them on his cheeks. After cleaning up, they had resided in her bedroom. The two were both tired, and Zio seemed to be more interested in a second locking. Luna was exhausted, and found herself to be very sore. The female leaned in and kissed him softly. She shook her head lightly at the comment on food, "I'll get myself something in a minute, Zio." The blonde giggled softly, "Thank you." She turned and looked up at him. Luna felt like she was in such a daze. Her mind was lost in Zio's. She felt as if she knew everything he was going to say before he said it.

Zio nodded lightly. He looked over her for a moment before tilting his head. The male brought his hand down and rested it between her legs. The Irinaut was quite touchy. He loved feeling every part of Luna. He found himself lost in his own world with her, and for the first time in over a hundred years, he could feel.

Luna gasped softly as his hands moved about. The blonde blushed deeply before she leaned back from him. She wrapped her arms around herself before attempting to close her legs, "Zio, it still hurts." She mumbled. Luna looked up at him. For a bit she had even left a warm wet towel between her legs, "Give me time to heal at least." Luna's heart was racing. Even if she was hurting at the time, that didn't mean she didn't want it. The hybrid was beyond curious to do it again with him. His touch was full of power. It just made her feel safe.

The male huffed. He nodded lightly before moving his hand up and wrapping it around her chest. Zio pulled her closely against him and lightly nipped at her shoulder, 'You're my Queen, and if that is what you wish, then so be it.' Zio took Luna being his Queen quite seriously. The male wouldn't let anything she didn't want done happen. At least, at this point. The Irinaut male only had one intention, and that was to keep her happy. That seemed to be the only thing on his mind. Even if his flirtatious attitude got in the way at times.

Luna rested her head tiredly against his shoulder. She gave a light shake of her head and pressed her lips against his neck. The female kissed against his collar bone softly, "I wish you would stop calling me your queen, Zio. It's just Luna." She giggled softly. The blonde leaned up and looked at him, "I don't want to be a queen." She stated. Her golden eyes glistened softly as she placed her hand on his cheek.

Zio gasped softly. He smiled before leaning in and pressing his lips against hers. The Irinaut had never loved someone like he did Luna. The two of them had such a powerful bond, that it was hard for either of them to control. The large male lifted his head and gently caressed her cheek, 'I won't call you that then, Luna.' He purred softly before rubbing his cheek against hers. Zio rested tiredly in the bed before looking at the ceiling, 'Do you think they'll let us go, Luna? That we'll be able to go home?'

"Home?" She lifted her head and looked at him curiously. The blonde lightly tilted her head before sitting up. She took hold of the large blanket before resting it over her shoulders, "I thought it was destroyed?" Luna tilted her head curiously. She lifted up and placed her hands on his cheeks, "Is it safe?"

Zio nodded softly, "The only reason it is not is because of the queen. Some of my species has found ways to subdue the spores. At least, temporarily. Long enough to get into sealed equipment, but, perhaps if we were to work together, we could find the infected queen or even a way to destroy the spores."

"They wouldn't want to go there! It's suicide." Luna brought her arm up and rubbed her shoulder lightly. The blonde gave a nervous shake of her head, "Why would they even consider it?"

Zio gave a light shrug. He lifted himself up before propping his legs up lightly against the bed frame. The male rubbed his head lightly, 'If they saw that you could bring another Irinaut out of it perhaps they would consider it. They could even lead us to their rebellion. I was under the control of that queen, and it's gone. The moment I could sense you, when I saw you something just sparked in my mind. Your hybrid blood, it could serve as a vaccine for the humans. The key to it that is. If we could find their hiding spot, we could find a way to kill the spores as well.' Zio huffed. He pulled Luna close and took a deep breath.

Luna's eyes widened. She sulked a bit before giving with nervous shrug, "You think that I could have a cure?" The young female shifted lightly against him. Luna gave a light shrug of her shoulders as he spoke, "Some of you could be and others couldn't. You wouldn't know until they were checked. They drive people mad with sickness, and the some of the one's I've seen on the ship haven't had puss wounds. Jewel and Reed had two that weren't infected with it." Luna sighed. She was already confused, and every thing seemed to just mix together. The blonde gave a nervous shrug of her shoulders, "I don't want to think about it, b-but if we could have a home, a planet, I'd have everything I wanted." Luna looked up at Zio. She placed her hands on his cheeks before resting her forehead against his, "I already have you."

Zio smiled softly. He leaned in and rested his forehead against hers. The male wrapped his hands around her waist and pulled her closely. He let out a low growl as he kissed her forehead softly, 'You're all I ever want.'
