Guns and Dust Ch. 04

Adina stared around her stunned, her mind suddenly engaging as if it had been in idle. She looked up at him, her heart racing with a thrill of accomplishment. "How...?"

He smiled, heaving her up so she could climb up. "You remember me telling you there are tiny robots inside you now, making things better?"

She threw her leg over the wall and steadied herself, the new thrill crashing through her like a wave as she looked down at the vertical distance she'd cleared. "Yes."

"You're getting stronger. And you'll continue to get stronger. Faster too." He pulled a shiny metal box out of one of his pockets and held it up for her. "See for yourself."

She raised an eyebrow at him and looked at herself in the reflective surface. She didn't see anything. "What?"

"Look closer. At your eyes." He grinned, his eyes focused on hers.

She did. Amidst the other colors of her hazel eyes were flecks of deepest lapis blue. The same color as Asher's eyes. She just stared from one eye to the other. "But... What does it mean?" She finally tore her eyes from her reflection.

He was smiling. "It means you're becoming like me."

She looked back at her eyes, marveling at the alien blue amidst the other colors. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"It doesn't happen to everyone. Like I said, the inoculant works differently for each person. You're... special."

She looked back at him and the look in his eyes was hard for her to describe. It was joyous, but also proud, open, and fiercely excited. It was the most living, passionate, all-encompassing expression she'd ever seen. "What does it mean?"

He was still smiling. "No one knows. Like everything else, it depends on the person. But you're never going to be the same." His expression softened. "I hope that's alright."

She scooted across the wall to him and pulled him into a hard kiss, pressing herself against him as they balanced on the rough twelve-inch-wide shelf. She kissed him and kissed him, her tongue playing in his mouth and his in hers. She finally pulled back, her lips still brushing his, staring into his lapis blue eyes. "I want that more than anything." She kissed him hard again.

He smiled broadly at her, brushing his beard against her cheek. "I think we should get down off this wall, don't you?"

She nodded, grinning.

He dropped off the opposite side from where they'd come up and she levered over the edge, the toes of her boots sliding down the concrete until she was hanging full length from it. He put his hands under her feet. "Trust me. Just stand on my hands. Steady yourself on the wall but stand on my hands." She narrowed an eye playfully, then stood against the resistant of his hands. He took a half step away from the wall, her standing fully upright, one hand against the wall. He pushed up suddenly, and she yelped as she dropped, her legs captured within the safe cordon of his encircling arms. He stopped her downward slide, his arms under her ass, staring up at her.

"Exciting?"

She leaned down and kissed him, her hands running over his sweaty skin as he let her slide down until they were face to face, her feet were still off the ground.

She smiled, her lips at his. "Hot as hell." As soon as she got her feet on the ground, she pushed him against the concrete wall kissing down his chest. She grabbed his belt and pulled him down to the ground, pushing him onto his back. "You stay right there and don't move." She unfastened his belt and pulled his pants down, leaving his hard eight-inch cock standing out at her. She laid down between his legs propped up on her elbows. "I just want to watch you." She kissed his cock, watching his expression, running her lips and tongue up and down the shaft, feeling it getting harder. He tasted like salty sweat. She held it in both hands running them up and down as he sighed. She kissed the tip again and pushed her mouth down onto it. She'd given head plenty of times, but she'd never been as aroused by it as she was now. It was like everything else with Asher, she couldn't get enough. She pushed him deep into her mouth, lifting her head and pushing down again, then she pushed down farther. As far as she ever had. She coughed as his cock hit the back of her throat. She could tell how much it turned him on when she gagged and backed away, catching her breath. Her juices were flowing freely between her legs.

Earth and Sky!

She felt like she might orgasm, just playing with his phallus. She pushed her mouth down onto it again, gulping the head in further, deeper than she'd ever had a cock before. She felt his hips pump at her strangled gulp but put her hands on his muscular thighs and pushed down even further. Her eyes were watering but not half as much as juices were flowing between her legs. She pulled back and caught her breath again, looking up at him as she stroked and sucked him. His hips thrust as she used her mouth all over it, cupping his balls and pulling lightly. Asher's head fell back and he moaned with excitement, his hips pushing up into her face. And she pushed her mouth down onto his shaft to meet them. Gulping and feeling her throat stretch, she forced all of him into her, until her lips were at the base of his penis, she stroked and gently squeezed his balls, holding herself down on his shaft as long as she could before pulling back again. She panted, stroking and kissing his cock, his entire body trembling. "Yes, Asher, I want it. I want it so bad!"

She worked her fingers up along the shaft, stroking, her thumbs playing with the sensitive tip as she sucked his balls into her mouth, rolling them with her tongue. His whole body bucked.

"Yesss... Yess... don't stop..." he gasped, and she pushed her mouth down onto his cock again, pumping up and down, holding it with her hand. She was moaning too, her belly tensing, squeezing her thighs together and squirming, her hot fluids flowing over her mound. She felt him tense and she ran her mouth up and down the whole length again, faster and faster. And as his hips pushed up, she concentrated on the sensitive head. She tasted the salty precursor, leaking into her mouth.

"Cum for me, Asher," she begged then pushed her mouth onto his shaft again.

He groaned, his whole body shaking. Then he exploded in her mouth. Her eyes went wide as she drank his hot sperm. There was so much of it! And the salty, nutty taste was so arousing that her belly cramped with a sudden, shaking orgasm. Trying to keep her mouth on his penis as her hips spasmed was an ecstatic, confusing, almost debilitating sensation. She moaned around his penis continuing to gulp until the flood stopped. Asher's hips relaxed to the rough ground. Her belly contracted and released, her legs shaking in the aftermath of her own ecstatic release. He finally eased and she licked his shaft, sucking the last of his sticky semen clean.

She finally laid her head on his naked groin, panting, his penis near her lips as she stroked it gently, every touch making him twitch. "Earth and sky..." She had to catch her breath before she could go on. "I've never felt anything like that before."

She closed her eyes as his fingers lightly caressed her temple, pushing her dark hair away from her face. He was panting too.

"Neither have I..." His belly contracted with a laugh. "That was amazing, Adina."

She kissed his penis and balls, then his belly. "I'm so glad." She reached down to feel how sticky she was, her clit was so sensitive it felt like it was on fire when she touched it. "I've never cum giving someone head before."

His head came up. "You came?"

She grinned up at him. "Hard too." She blew out a breath.

He smiled at her and let his head fall back. "I guess I was a little preoccupied to notice."

She kissed his belly again. "I hope so." She laid her head on his pelvis and let her eyes close, a smile pulling her cheeks until they ached.

Wow!

Two more days of hard training passed. While Adina's muscles still complained, she felt stronger and more confident with each day. But Asher was relentless today, pushing her from one grueling task to the next. They'd run the canyon right after breakfast, then spent hours climbing through the ruins, practicing falls and quick climbs. She'd fallen hard three times, but he didn't let up. He kept pushing her, giving her no space to quit. She'd barely been able to eat at lunch. She fell asleep as soon as she stopped moving. It was only Asher nudging her that kept her eating. After lunch it was hand to hand training. In their first pass, he'd bloodied her nose; a warning of what was to come. He landed controlled punches and threw her again and again, never really doing more that hurting her pride, but forcing her to use everything she'd learned to keep from getting hurt. By mid-afternoon she felt like a boneless, wobbling doll. Then when she was barely able to drink from a canteen because her hands were shaking so badly, it was time for pistol training.

Adina's ears were ringing from the echoing gunfire in the canyon as she ran to her left, her eyes fixed on the tin standing up on the broken dirt mound. She threw her wrist the way Asher had shown her, pitching the empty magazine out of the pistol and trying to get a new one in.

"Watch your footing!"

But his warning was too late. She hooked the toe of her left boot on a piece of concrete. She tried to twist her hips and shoulders to break her fall while keeping the pistol and magazine up away from the ground. The uncoordinated result was that she barely got her left elbow down before landing on her face. But neither the pistol nor magazine touched the ground. She blinked and spat dirt, getting the magazine in while Asher's constant admonition rang in her mind like incessant echo.

"Focus!"

She braced her shoulder against the hard ground, aimed and pulled the trigger - and missed completely. She breathed out, ignoring the taste of dirt and blood and concentrated on squeezing the trigger this time. She hit the target, fired twice more, hitting each time.

"Up! Kneel and finish the magazine!" Asher instructed.

She rolled up onto a knee, the pistol still locked onto the target and emptied the magazine in a series of systematic squeezes. She only missed once. She pulled the empty magazine and checked the pistol for dirt, holding pistol and magazine up in her hands as she pushed to her feet and turned to him.

Asher was smiling as he walked to her. "Excellent!" He narrowed an eye looking at her lip, then reached out and wiped gently. There was blood on his fingers when he pulled them back and showed them to her. "Now that's focus."

She let her hands drop, smiling at his compliment. Suddenly her lip hurt, and her shoulder, and her hands from repeatedly pulling the pistol's slide back against the heavy spring. She turned her head and spat dirt and blood.

He stepped close and rolled her lip out gently with a finger to see inside. "It looks like you bit your lip." He was still smiling widely -- beaming, she thought. He looked so proud of her. "It's nothing serious." He gave her a light kiss and brushed dirt from the side of her face, his eyes on hers. She put her arms around him and pressed against him, pistol and magazine still in her hands, their sweaty bodies pressing against each other through their shirts. "Can we be done now?" She looked up; the sun was starting to disappear behind the buildings at the top of the canyon.

He smiled at her. "Do you think we've done enough for today?"

She narrowed her eyes at him. "If we do anymore, I think I'll fall apart."

I kissed her lightly again, cautious of her lip. "Alright." He nodded to the magazine on the ground. "Get that, clean the pistol and magazines, and I'll get some food started, what do you think?"

She kissed him again. Her lip hurt, but not enough to deter her from satisfying herself with kisses before she let him go. "Alright."

She'd finished cleaning the magazines and had the pistol disassembled, carefully cleaning the components when he came back from the fire and set a canteen next to her on the makeshift work bench they'd set up. "Here." He pushed dark hair out of her face, his eyes taking in her slightly swollen nose and lip. "You did really well today, Adina." He caressed her cheek. "I'm sorry if I was hard on you."

She smiled at him, setting down what she was working on and wiping her hands on a rag. "I understood what you were doing." She stood up and pulled herself against him, watching his eyes. "And thank you." She gave him another careful kiss.

He held her and watched her eyes. "We're leaving tomorrow." He glanced around their idyllic hideaway. "And we probably won't be back here this patrol."

She leaned back. "What does that mean?"

"We should enjoy it tonight. There won't be any place like this for a while."

"Where are we going tomorrow?"

"Out into the wastes. There is a location I need to check out before getting back onto the patrol route. I'll show you on the map later."

"And when we finish the patrol?"

He smiled at her. "I'll show you Cosanti."

She smiled right back. "I would like that." She gave him another long kiss.

It was still dark when Adina woke. She was naked, tucked up against Asher. They'd fallen asleep still entwined after their last round of love making. She pulled his arm around her and onto her breast, looking out over the gurgling springs and up to the cutout of stars above the rift's opening. She just drank it all in, her senses filled with Asher's smell and that of the hot springs, the cool of the air on her face, the sound of the moving water. She couldn't remember being this happy before. She wanted to draw the moment into her, everything about it, right down to the tawny rocks she couldn't see under the tarp that pushed up into her back. She never wanted to forget this place and all that had happened here.

She smiled and closed her eyes taking a deep breath of the cool night air and its scents.

This was where my whole life changed... She looked up at the thick blanket of stars between the shattered building. No. This is where my whole life began.
