The Captain, the Mechanic and the One Night Stand Chapter 27 : Save Them
Theodora's POVMy mom outstretched a coffee to me. I took the hot beverage, bringing it to my lips to warm my insides. I sighed happily, enjoying it during the cold morning. I wore my leather jacket, and holster on my hip as usual. We would be leaving any day now. Only a few minor fixes. And with my dad's electrical experience, repairs were moving much faster. It almost felt like I was a teenager again, fixing up a ship with my dad. Comms were up and we could use the frequency from my ship to radio in on the wavelength if anyone needed anything. Definitely saved me the trouble of looking around the homestead for my brother. And saved Daxton the embarrassment of having his sister walk in on him and Ellie.I don't know what really happened between them, but I noticed the fleeting glances. The indigo flush on Ellie's cheeks. The handholding. All toothachingly sweet. So damn cute. I was happy for them.My own relationship…relationships, were slightly more complicated. I hadn

Mads's POVI never wanted Theo to look at me like that. Hands balled into fists. Shoulders quaking. Tears streaming down red-tinted cheeks. It killed me. My throat felt thick as she screamed at me, the pain she couldn't control just under the surface.I could still feel the sensation of where she shoved me, imprinted onto my chest. She didn't hurt me, only used me as an outlet for her anger. Better me than anyone else.Because I could take Theo's anger.Daxton was still reeling from the realization that he left his parents behind. Almost lost his sister too if I had let her jump back into the barn. I saw Theo staring down at the hay, hand on her pistol, a resigned look in her eye.She would jump down there, fill herself with holes, and throw herself on the sword if it meant anyone else had a chance. Her sacrificial nature was sometimes her worst characteristic. Even if I knew she had the best intentions, she didn't think them through.Because if she had landed in the hay, a

Theodora's POVI felt so fucking sick to my stomach. A stone weighing in my chest. My shoulders were sore from how hard I was weeping. My spine curled forward until I was hugging my knees to my chest. I prayed that my parents were okay.But I didn't know for sure.I just know that I could have done something.Jumped off the gangway and saved them the way I couldn't save my platoon. But Mads didn't let me. He ripped me backward, feet stumbling into his arms, holding me down as I wailed. But now all that grief felt numb.I felt numb.The glass of starshine on my desk was still untouched. I poured it for myself, but before I could drink it to quell the shakes, I fell over myself and dry-heaved into the garbage can. Nothing came up, but my stomach lurched and lurched.Painfully clenching my chest. I couldn't even vomit. All I did was cry so hard I couldn't see straight. A headache pounding my temples. Fighting the abyss that nipped at my ankles, tempting me to plummet into th

Theodora's POVAs soon as the bold request left my lips, both of my cheeks lit up with flaming heat. Then I backpedaled. I backpedaled hard. "I mean…only if you are okay with it." I didn't even give either of them a moment to respond as my face boiled. "Actually. Forget I said anything."I turned away from both of them, a blush carrying down to my collarbone. It's fine. I'll just put myself in the corner. I can't believe I just asked for a threesome. I knew they were friends, but I didn't want to see my own friends naked. Why would they be interested in seeing each other naked? Shame mottled my cheeks down to my hands. That boldness evaporated into dust. Having both Javi and Mads was something I really wanted to explore. It was uncharted territory for me, but I fantasized about it more often than I wanted to admit."Theo," Mads released a chuckle. "If you want to talk about this now, we can." "Of course, you don't care. You're a freak!" I rebutted, glancing over my shoul

Theodora's POVMads's fingers wove through the hair on my scalp, giving my hair a gentle tug, leading me down, further and further to where his legs were parted. He rarely liked to be underneath anyone, especially during sex. Mads was usually on top. So watching him lay back, lust not even clouding the adoration in his eyes he felt for me. It wound me up like a tight spring. Javier's body curled around mine, his hands on my hips, pressing me firmly against his thick cock. I gasped, wiggling my hips impatiently.His mouth left wet imprints down my spine, laving every inch of my skin with attention. I kissed Mads's stomach, touching my tongue against little patches of ink. Wet kisses across his hipbones. I wanted to shower him with as much attention as I was getting.My back bowed with pure delight when Javier pushed inside of me. Only a little at a time. Teasing me inch by inch. Withdrawing just to push further in. Ecstasy danced across my eyes. Little dots of pleasure. M
Last Updated : 2023-07-01The Captain, the Mechanic and the One Night Stand Chapter 32 : Good Morning...or Afternoon
Mads's POVWith bleary eyes, I slowly roused from my slumber. Shit. I groaned, bowing my back and stretching my toes. When was the last time I slept? I couldn't even remember, but I know I didn't wake up feeling so rested.Theo was still curled up against my side, and I had an arm thrown over both her and Javier. Both of them still sleeping soundly. Theo's dark brown ringlets were tangled and all over the place. One of her legs was thrown around my waist, her back pressed against Javier's chest.He had one brawny arm around the flare of Theo's hips. His fingertips barely ghosted over my skin.But I didn't mind at all.I never took myself for a cuckold, but there I was, letting Javier take Theo while I watched greedily. Theo has always been a pleaser, so pleasing two men at the same time must've satisfied that part of her.Something I wanted to explore more of. Push the limits and peel back the layers of her desires. From the sound of it, Javier enjoyed it just as much as Th
Last Updated : 2023-07-01The Captain, the Mechanic and the One Night Stand Chapter 33 : Borrowing Clothes
Theodora's POVWhatever post-orgasm goofy bliss I was in, it was gone the moment I heard the buzzer next to my door go off. Shit. Who could that be?Maybe I could just ignore it?The buzzer went off again. I wasn't ready for anyone to know about Mads and Javier. Definitely not Dax. He had enough to think about aside from his sister having casual threesomes with his crew members. I looked between Javier and Mads. Was this even a casual thing?Not when I was already thinking about doing it again. Too much to unpack right now. "Do you want me to…?" Mads trailed off, knowing I didn't want him to answer the door, but still wanting to help somehow.What a sweetie."No. I got it. Just…" I paused. "Hide under the covers?" It came out as more of a question than an actual order, but thankfully neither of the men argued. Javier lifted the covers and both of them tucked themselves beneath it. Any other time, I would have found two full-grown men hiding naked under the covers o

Javier's POVFinally, only a few days away from Aeolus. Getting closer and closer to finding my niece. After stocking up on supplies at the last refueling station, we were in the final stretch. Hopefully, the Ravagers can give us something. Take us to Sol.But I haven't had much trouble filling my time. Some days, I snuck around with Theo. On other days I played cards with the rest of the crew, drank starshine, and messed around with the guys. Sometimes Mads, Theo, and I would go back to her room when everyone else turned in. But we wouldn't always be joined by Mads. In fact, if he wanted to be alone, he encouraged us to go spend some time together without him.Said it was important.I felt like he knew something I didn't. These budding feelings I had for Theo got stronger every day. I craved her. Her body. Her mind. I enjoyed learning all the things that made her tick. Mads was right. She was soft-hearted. Scared to let people in, but when she did, she bloomed like a blo

The Captain, the Mechanic and the One Night Stand Chapter 51 : Epilogue
Theodora's POVLife was so different now.It felt like yesterday I was dodging military phasers and jumping off skyscrapers. Fighting with my dad. Avoiding Mads. Lying to my brother about my relationships. Having flashbacks every other day from wartimes.But now I was sitting around a fire pit on my family farm while we passed around a bottle of starshine and reminisced about odd jobs. Mads to my left. Javi to my right. Daxton across from me laughing about something with my dad, arm around Ellie.Benji complimented my mom's cooking. Mads joined the conversation, both dimples proud and on display.Unguarded. Just as visibly happy as I felt inside. Playfully nudging Ellie in the ribs and making her release a big belly laugh.My heart flushed with warmth. I loved him so much.When we arrived at Gaea, we made good on our promise, fixing my dad's barn. All six of us helped my dad with beams and massive hunks of metal. Now that it's fixed, Mads and Javi help my dad with his ser
The Captain, the Mechanic and the One Night Stand Chapter 50 : Welcome to the Family
Javier's POVThe following week went by far too fast. Every night I lay with Theo in my arms. Her breath warmed my chest in little puffs. Mads was finally sleeping too, falling into a regular pattern, one hand clasped over my shoulder while he slept with his face buried in Theo's hair.We would stay like that all day if we could. As each day went by, Theo held on tighter, unconsciously showing me how terrified she was of me leaving. Mads became more distant. Withdrawing as he usually did when he was upset. In private, while Theo was piloting, he tried to convince me to stay.Telling me how much Theo needed me as if I didn't already know. How much he needed me. It wasn't too long ago that I claimed Mads didn't have a romantic bone in his body, but now I'm learning very quickly that he did. He had a soft, molten center becoming more apparent every day.And while I loved him for it, I had responsibilities on Ilios. I was a high-ranking military officer with a shit-ton of paperw
The Captain, the Mechanic and the One Night Stand Chapter 49 : In the Dead of Night
Theodora's POVWhile that wasn't completely uncharted with an occasional finger playing with the opening every once in a while, I'd never accommodated something as big as Javier or Mads. My eyes flickered down to their cocks, clearly erect and excited for me. My sex tingled, flexing with the desire to be filled. Tight. But that also really scared me. I was the type of girl to try anything once. But ass play was not something I ever really considered delving into.But I'd be lying if I said it didn't intrigue me. I'd heard it could be great if I had the right partners. That trust went a long way. And between Javier and Mads, I trusted them wholly, with everything I had. My body clenched down like a vise, snapping my legs shut almost instinctually. Javi withdrew, waiting patiently even though his cock said otherwise. "I won't do anything you don't want to," he promised. But I knew that already. They respected my boundaries. Even the very few times I said my safeword, usually
The Captain, the Mechanic and the One Night Stand Chapter 48 : Restless
Theodora's POVI wasn't ready for sex a few days ago. Everything felt so fragile. New all over again. I had to learn to trust Mads and Javier again. But on the bright side, now I knew our relationship was more than physical.I found myself adoring how sweet Javier was with Sol. How much he cared about his niece and she clearly noticed the change in temperament too. Mads had taken a few massive steps forward to make good on his apologies with the crew. The fact that he even gave Benji a handshake, and returned a hug from Ellie was not lost on me. He'd even playfully bump Sol on the shoulder when she was in his way.He was trying. Working through his own trauma just as hard as we worked together.Those touches meant something to him and it made me feel so warm inside to see.Daxton was starting to come around. Especially now that I didn't feel the need to hide my adoration for my lovers. And Daxton could see how much they meant to me. When we were in open space, Ben
The Captain, the Mechanic and the One Night Stand Chapter 47 : While It Lasts
Theodora's POVThe fact that I could practically feel when Mads and Javier were nearby was really fucking weird. The strain of our physical distance from each other was relaxing even if the emotional tension was still there. It killed me that I couldn't see them. I couldn't let them in.If I did, I'd crumble into a pathetic sobbing mess because I missed them so damn much. The worst fucking bout of homesickness I'd ever felt. Funny. I thought Peacemaker was home. The ship I loved so much, the same one Javier called a rust bucket. A sharp laugh left my lips, followed by a hollow feeling in my chest. My eyes felt so puffy, sore, and red. I couldn't stand Javier back then. My attraction to him was skin-deep. An annoying sexual ache with pent-up frustration from my breakup with Mads. Simple as hell. It wasn't until after I saved him from the Pantomath that it started to feel more serious. That I started to notice how deep it ran. And started to finally notice how Mads looked
The Captain, the Mechanic and the One Night Stand Chapter 46 : The Sun, The Moon, and The Earth
Theodora's POVI hadn't seen Mads or Javier in days, almost a week now if I was being honest. Confining myself to the ship, licking my wounds so to speak. My body still ached, bruises yellowing. The welts on my back were now a light pink instead of brick red. Healing fast with Ellie's help, but I still felt damaged.Who was I kidding? I was damaged.Sol was first to come on board the Peacemaker, Atlas close behind. She was going to be bunking with Ellie which made the most sense because they were close in age. I pretended not to notice how Sol looked at Atlas, standing in the sun, beaming at the promise of the future.The girl had a crush. Clear as day. I almost expected her to get on her toes and kiss him goodbye, but she didn't. Instead, she tucked fiery hair behind her ear and told him she'd be in contact soon.Arrange transport from Ilios. That they would see each other again. His inky eyes watched Sol like he had something he wanted to say…but he didn't. Amelia had de
The Captain, the Mechanic and the One Night Stand Chapter 45 : Fragile
Javier's POVA fissure was forming inside of me. Splitting my connection to Theo and Mads. And every time I thought about her, laying there, bleeding and crumpled on the ground, the cracks got deeper. Fanning out inside of my chest.Cold and icy.It got out of hand, and it happened fast. I didn't know how to fix this. And after the fight, I healed pretty fast, but I couldn't say the same for Theo. Daxton wouldn't let me see her and honestly, I wasn't sure I'd be able to handle it if I did see her.Bruised and broken.I did that to her. I could blame Mads all I wanted, but he wasn't in his right mind. I was. Over the next few days during bloodletting, I'd watch Mads leave the holding area to go sit by the trees. He'd look over at me guiltily and dip his head. Stare at his hands.His leg still healing from where Theo shot him.I knew he hadn't been back to Peacemaker. Neither had I. And while the full moon was over and he finally seemed more like himself, he still spe
The Captain, the Mechanic and the One Night Stand Chapter 44 : The Full Moon
Theodora's POVI couldn't look away. But I also couldn't stand. Everything felt like it was going weak. Tingles in my chest ebbing outwards to my hands. I swayed forward, struggling to find my steps. Struggling to find my breath.Daxton caught me before I fell forward, a strangled sob leaving my lips as devastation swallowed me whole."Theo! Hey!" Dax shouted, trying to snap me out of my stupor.But I didn't see him. All I saw was Mads's teeth digging into Javier's throat. The harrowing visual of them caked in blood, running thick as oil. Javi threw Mads off him. Heavy hits and the sound of grinding metal as they knocked each other into the portable sun shelters.They were going to break the windows. Send sunlight streaming into their homes.The vampires watching couldn't even do anything without risking exposure. A gruesome fiery death. And I was only human. "Fuck!" Sol shrieked, coming to the window. She was too small. Too young. Stronger than me, but she would only ge
The Captain, the Mechanic and the One Night Stand Chapter 43 : Sun Sickness
Mads's POVI couldn't stop staring at my hands. They didn't look like mine. I was trapped inside a skin that wasn't mine. My heart hammered, my body shaking like I was coming down from adrenaline, but it still coursed hotly through my veins.Nothing was as loud as if someone had stuffed cotton in my ears. I couldn't hear Theo's heartbeat or smell her scent. So disjointed from my body. Even Javier's voice sounded different. I couldn't detect the different tenors that made him so interesting to listen to.All their words fell on deaf ears. I couldn't process anything well with my senses dulled like the inhibitor drug the Pantomath dosed me with. But the wolf…the wolf was louder than ever. Stirring. Rousing. Growing in power.When Benji had finally docked, he unclipped his seatbelt harness, rushing over to me to make sure I was okay. Theo couldn't stay with me. Neither could Javier. I knew that. But it didn't make me feel any less than a newborn fawn standing on shaky legs. The
