Chapter 18 – The cupboard
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56With his left hand holding his rifle wrapped around her waist and his right hand over her mouth, he leaned his back against the inside of the cupboard for stability. The cupboard door on his left. He froze, trying to hear how far away the other team was. It was pitch black it there. Mia started to struggle, he just realised she didn’t know who he was. “Shhh,” he whispered, straight into her ear, I won’t hurt you. Her body shivered involuntary, then she tried to elbow him in the ribs, but lucky for him it was only half a blow because of the tight confines of the cupboard.
He then felt her hand move down his leg to where his hand gun was. Oh that would not end well, “Mia” he whispered, he could feel her body tense. Oh yes it was Mia alright. “Its Jay, from the second” He whispered into her ear again, her body shivered again, “can I remove my hand” She nodded, “Another team came in behind me” he took his right hand from her mouth slowly.
“Do you trust me?” Jay asked, there was a pause as she thought. He was close enough to feel her nod and her body relaxed a little. He then slid his fingers down her bare arm until he found her hand on his gun, he unclipped it and placed in it her hand, there fingers intwining around the weapon as she realised what he was doing. In the pitch black with adrenaline flooding their systems and their senses on full alert this simple action was more intimate that he had ever experienced, he still had her firmly press against his body, her warmth was starting to seep through his clothes where they weren’t wearing protective vests. Her warmth was seeping into his groin. She felt good and the glimpse he got of her in the tight cargo pants she had great legs. He had to be careful or she would feel more than she bargained for. He whispered into her ear again, “six shots,” then as an afterthought he slowly removed his hand from hers to turn the safety off, “Safety off, there is a reload in my other side top thigh pocket” he felt her hand slid up his leg sending chills all over his body, her hand continued to his . . .pocket. Gosh he needed to get a grip of himself.
She froze her hand still on his leg, they could hear foot steps outside the cupboard door. He, slowly ran his fingers down her right arm again to her hand holding the gun, gently his hand covered hers and he guided her hand across her body towards to door, so that if it was opened, they would at least get the first shot off.
He was pretty much bear hugging her now, from behind. That sent of a couple of more images through his mind that he didn’t need right now. He couldn’t believe it he was getting aroused. The boots kept walking. Jay let out a breath straight down Mia’s neck, she shivered again and relaxed more into him. Her left hand then started searching again, found the reload for the gun and put it in her pocket. They waited until they couldn’t hear any more sound.
Jay started to release Mia, then something in the cupboard fell, making a loud bang. Out of reflex he pulled her back into him. They listened for foot step coming back. Nothing. “Ok, “Jay whispered again. Are your comms down.” He had noticed that she hadn’t answered when Alex directed her away from the door. “Yes” she replied in a breathy whisper. Ok I’m going to turn mine back on. You can listen in too.
He noticed that her body had started to shake too, cold or shock he wondered. He was leaning towards shock. She had just been woken up in the middle of the night and all of a sudden, her home was a combat zone. . . .She needs a distraction . . . food she needs food.
“Mia, there is a snack bar in my left pocked below where you got the reload from, you need to eat.” He could feel her hand search for it. Again tingles shot up his leg to his groin. He slowly found her right hand with his gun in it again and flicked the safety on and guided it back into its holster. “You can have it back once you have eaten something.” She nodded.
His hand slid from hers back up her arm to her shoulder to his ear he tapped his stud. It crackled to life. He lent his head forward, almost cheek to cheek so Mia could hear too. He replaced his right arm back around her and just held her in a gentle hug while she ate. He hoped that it would calm her quicker.
They listened for a minute, trying to place everyone. Shell was updating everyone on the location of the decoy party and Tilly and Benny were moving in that direction. Bunny and Alex had what remained of the North Door team pinned down in a storage room. There were two injured.
Jay spoke up “Secret entrance team have been taken out, one possible live, I have Mia with me. We are going to use their transit pod to get into the main ship.” Alex approved his plan. “Going dark” he said and tapped his black stud again.
Mia was half way through the snack bar, and it seamed that it had calmed her.
“Are you ready for another adventure” he said into her ear again, he really didn’t need to whisper into her ear, the decoy team were far away but he really liked the way she reacted to him, another shiver went through her body.
“Yes” another breathy whisper. Oh, that voice alone got to Jay in ways he couldn’t explain.
“Are you feeling better? we need to get out of here”
“Yes, thank you” Mia added she folded the rest of the snack bar up and put it in her pocket.
“Can you work the holster clip out on my gun,” He felt her hand move down his leg again to his gun. He was a bit lost in the feel of it. “No” she said in a whisper. His right hand found hers and guide the gun out, he also flicked the safety off.
“Safety off” he whispered into her ear again craving her body’s reaction.
Jay loosened his left arm from around her body making sure he lifted his rifle up, so he didn’t knock anything over again. Mia slowly stood back up on her own two feet. Jay missed the feel of her already, Oh Man, stop it he ordered himself.
He slipped his right hand between them and opened the door just a crack, no noise.
“Stay behind me but to my right, keep your left hand on my vest so I know where you are at all times. Ok?”
“Ok”

They exited the cupboard slowly, allowing their eyes to adjust to the light again. They headed back down the corridor they had just come from. They passed the man Mia had taken out with a kick and elbow, her gun was on the ground near him. She must have dropped it in the attack. He was still alive but wouldn’t be coming around anytime soon. She had got him good. Jay kicked the weapons from him, “did you want your gun, or will you use mine.”Mia thought “yours” Jay nodded and they continued.They stopped at the next man, or the lead man. He had been shot straight between the eyes. Jay removed his vest. “Take your vest off. This will offer you more protection, not to mention more weapons.” Mia did it quickly. “Crack shot” he said to her. She was trying not to look at the man, she blushed. He helped her tighten the straps so it wasn’t too loose on her. “Ok?” he asked“Ok” she replie

“Yes” she replied. He let out a breath and helped her up with his free hand and then he made a direct line to the control panel. He tapped his stud a couple of times. “Ryder, do you have a copy”“Yes Jay” replied Ryder“I’m on the other ship. Can you configure its system so we have control? There’s still a Pilot on here somewhere.”“Yes” Ryder said. “Open a line to me.”Jay tapped his stud again to turn it off and opened a line between both the ships. His voice came through the ships speakers. “If you can find the override key, I can do it remotely, that would be quickest.”“Where do we look for the override key,” Jay asked“It’s a long shot but it comes in the manual, but most people change it.”“Manual,” Mia said stepping up beside him with a think book in her hand.

“I have to go get him” she said, she grabbed Jays gun, ran to the door and held the switch down for 3 seconds like she had seen Jay do. As soon as the doors were open, she ran straight for the engine room. She took a big breath before the last door opened, she could see them both trying to stagger to their feet. She charged and the Pilot and kicking his feet out from under him and following through with an elbow in the ribs. She then ducked under Jays big arm and tried to force him to walk back to the door.He got in six steps before his knees started to buckle, with all her might she held him up against the wall. She moved in front of him and getting both his arms over her shoulders she lent forward taking all his weight on her back and started walking forward, his feet dragging behind. Her lungs were burning screaming out for air but she couldn’t take a breath yet or they wouldn’t make it. She had to get further from the fumes. Four steps away, 3, 2,

She gently cleaned the bullet wound and surrounding area. With the tweezers, she could feel the metal bullet, she quickly pulled it out, pressing a cloth over the wound applying pressure. With her other hand she got the needle and thread. A smile formed on her face as she remembered Master Alex scalding her in their first aid classes because she had figured out how to sew “Mia” in most of the sewing practice. She laughed out loud and set to work, she never dreamed she would actually use these skills. She would have to thank Alex later. She looked at her handy work. Oh yeah “M i a” had worked perfectly, she had even impressed herself. Alex couldn’t possibly be upset with this job. She quickly went back to the Medi bay and washed all Jays blood off her hands. She got back and bandage his arm firmly. She then removed his vest, no easy feat with all Jays muscles. She rolled him onto his front to make sure he had no other injuries. She felt down his le

Is there anyone else injured.”“Master Dora got shot in the upper thigh and they can’t get the bullet out without surgery, she will go too. And then You got shot but it looks like you’ll make it, Mia sore to that. Ok stay where you are this is a first for me”The Ship gave an

As she entered the room Sao ran up and hugged her, “Mia, I was so worried. I didn’t know where you were.“Hey Sao,” she hugged her back. I’m fine actually, I had to get a bullet out of Jay’s arm”She looked at her with big eyes, “is he alright?”“Oh Yeah, he also got gassed and is just resting.”At that point Alex found her, “Mia, Oh your alright, where is Jay, we need to co-ordinate plans.Mia took a breath, “Jay got gassed and shot in the ship so I patched him up and put him to sleep in my bed. He eyes can’t tolerate the light and he is really weak and in pain. I was going to give him an hour and them go check on him. He really won’t be any use to you for a bit.“I see,” he said. “You patched him up”“Yep as I was taught.”He caught the glimmer of mischief in her eye. He made a mental note to che

Mia had just watched the intruders ship take off with its injured. Ryder looked like a kid in a lolly shop in that cockpit. He had ensured that all the passengers were strapped in tight. I would not envy them right now. She had retrieved both of Jays guns and his vest.She had been asked to do the gorge run, since it had been missed because of the attack. She would take Mac’s place since he was on the ship that just tore out of here.She hadn’t eaten anything since Jay’s snack bar in the cupboard, as the memory came back a twinge of desire hit her core, being in that cupboard with Jay had really played with her body in a way she couldn’t explain. Food, she thought, so she headed to the mess hall. She would need something good but light if she was about to run for 3 hours. She made herself some toast and ate while thinking back over all that happened just this morning. She then grabbed a green apple and put it in her pocket.She went to he

The Princess and her Guard Chapter 105 - The Dream
Mia had a weird dream that night, Mia was being led by someone who was familiar but she didn’t know who. It was a young woman dressed all in white, the white woman lead her into a dome and on every surface they were moving images or footage playing. Each scene contained a certain woman as the focal point. All the different scenes all starring the same woman. Mia gasp as she took in each new scene. The woman picked up and tightly hugged a young girl who had just fallen and hurt herself, the woman solving a dispute between two boys, the woman running with all her might towards a fight, the woman laughing with a friend, the woman standing strong while under attack from an unknown threat, the woman rushing to the rescue of a teenage girl, the woman taking a shot at her enemy. There were so many to see. And each footage or scene seamed to loop. Playing over and over again. It was strange Mia couldn’t place any of these scenes but each one felt like dejvu, like she h

Once they were back in their apartments, Jay stood Mia beside their bed and he removed her dress and took her hair out. Mia could feel the anticipation coursing through her heating her core. Jay then knelt before her and removed her ankle boots and holster. He then peeled her tight black pants down so she was just in her underwear. He ran his hand up the inside of her leg. He then removed his weapons belt and suit. “Have I fully disarmed you” he asked as he kissed across her collar bone. “Almost” she said as she felt her body stirring from his touch. “You were so good tonight” he claimed her lips stealing her breath and igniting the fire she felt in her core. He broke away, running his fingers down her back kissing down her neck, she didn’t even realise that her Bra was no longer there, he took her first nipple into his mouth and a sigh escaped her lips. His hands wondered lower pulling her undies down. Once they were out of the way he picke

The Elites began the Banquet and after they were announced Mia and Rota held hands while they walked out to take their seats, Jay was announced next and he followed. There were a few whispers as people took in Mia’s dress. They all stood before their seats until Rota had declared the Banquet to begin. Jay then helped Queen Rota into her seat and then Mia, taking his seat next to Mia.The food was delicious and between courses Rota took Mia around the tables to officially introduce her to the people of Ziion. She got a lot of comments about her dress. She just smiled politely and thanked them. As the dessert was brought out, they wondered back to their table. After Rota announced Jay in his new position as Ziion’s Royal Ambassador. Everyone cheered. Rota also explained that Mia would be going on a trip with General Jay to meet all the Planets leaders and to extend our continued friendship to our allies since the crowning.

Day 21The next day Mia was introduced to all the Palace advisors and important people at a variety of events and functions all organised by Rota and Aunt Alice. Mia was also given two senior attendants that could help her with everything from hair and make up to who she might meet at the next event and the traditions behind the events. She found it exhausting, but it fascinated her too.Dora had prepared Mia as much as she could for her meeting with the Mercern Ring. Jay had also spent some time with Dora, talking over plans about Mercer and questioning Octave. It turned out that the girls on the other planets were on loan to other smuggling rings and that the problem was a lot bigger that they had first thought. For every one of the GPS trackers, they could see, there might be more girls that they couldn’t see.Octave was stripped of all his wealth and it was directed straight into Ziion’s Royal Ambassador’s account.

Jay and Mia had arrived back to their apartments ten minutes before the dress makers Evie and Skyla arrived with a heavy suite case between them.“Hi, come in” greeted Mia “How did you go?”“Oh, we came up with some really good ideas but I need to see how they feel on you, and if you can move in them”“Ok sure,”The girls set up, they pulled out three dresses that were partially finished. One was a deep maroon, another a deep blue and the last was black.“Wow those colours are really dark,” said MiaYes, they are suitable for a queen and they reflect your true warrior abilities. I wanted your dresses to give you a edge of danger but if they are too dark we can lighten them with chiffon layers, beading and embroidery.”“They are perfect,” said Jay “these are exactly what you need to wear before the Mercern Ring, they convey power and an edge of danger.

Hunter took a big breath, “Yeah. There was another guy that started in the same class as me but his Father was 2nd in command of the Viv military, as you can imagine he couldn’t fail, instructors spent twice as much time getting him through than anyone else. I seen him take the place of other brilliant soldiers when he was incapable. No one in the class could pass or rank up until he had. It was a complete Joke. He lorded it over everyone because of his success, he didn’t even see that he was holding us back. The brass finally got sick of pandering to him and finally let me rank up before him but they got raked over the coals and he was made commander too. We were both sent out on a mission together.” Hunter stopped to rub his hand over his face “He led his team straight into a trap, they were captured and tortured while he bargained for his freedom with classified information. It was two days before my team could get into a position to rescu

Day 20It was just before 9am the next day and everyone had gathered for the first meeting in what used to be the Kings Apartments.“Alright,” Jay began “thank you everyone for being here. Today we need to figure out, how this team will operate and how we can get into Mercer to rescue the girls.”“I’ve given the new team, some thought. We will have people who operate in a combative role . . . trained soldiers and a non-combative role, this will cover things like advisors, the gifted and administration. I suppose we will figure out most of this on the way and a lot of you already know the tactics that I use but please look out for the people who don’t. Is there anyone else you can think of that we need on this team?”We will need a good cook, if we don’t have your Mum, Shimel and Lacy abord,” offered Bunny“Maybe someone to clean and tidy?” Suggest
The Princess and her Guard Chapter 97 – Evie and Skyler
“They looked shocked before one of the girls shyly took a sketch pad and started drawing, the other girl while looking over she shoulder made a couple of suggestions. They both look at each other before hesitantly turning the sketch around.The dress had the same corset type top of an evening dress but the skirt was just one layer of shear fabric over the top of pants that and an A-line skirt like a traditional dress.Jay smiled, “Hey Mia, Come have a look at this.” She handed Jay a cup of coffee while examining the dress. “Yes, Said Mia “that’s what I’m after, what other ideas can you think up?”“Um . . . can I see the weapons you normally carry and how you would normally use them, so I can design the dress around them.”“What is your name?” Jay asked“I’m Evie, and this is Skyler. I prefer to sketch and Skyler is the most amazing at making any creation come
