They packed quickly fitting everything they needed in Jays pack and got buckled into the larger transit pod. Jay started it up but the was only a woosh sound.
“That’s not what is supposed to happen,” said Jay, he clicked on the ship line to the cockpit through the pod. “Bunny, this transit pod won’t start”
“on my way” was bunny’s reply
“She was there 2 mins later with a torch, she lifted the side panel”
“Try starting it again”
Jay did and it made the same woosh sound, “arh, there’s a hole in one of the hoses. Its an easy fix with the right parts, I could patch it but you might not make it to Ziion and the other pod has different sizes hoses. Jay you can’t take this Pod”
“Ok, this is going to get interesting, Mia we need to use the other pod but it’s a one-seater”
She blushed at the thought of them sharing the seat. T
She sat up a little taller and twisted around so she could reach her lips to his, he could feel her desire just add fuel to his fire he was trying to contain. His reaction was instant he was hard, oh how he wanted her, his hands started roaming over her body by their own accord seeking her bare skin.She had to kiss him, she could tell her time with him was running out, he needed to how much she needed him, she poured all her desire into her kiss, she could feel him responding to it, he got hard underneath her and she could feel herself getting damp too, then his hands started roaming over her body, one of his hands made it under her t-shirt, it caressed her belly and then up to her breast, he rubbed the side of his thumb over her nipple making it hard and a whole new sensation assaulted her, then he was caressing her other breast a sigh escaped from her lips which only seamed to encourage his other hand that went under her pants in between her legs, his finger on top up her
Outside waiting for them was a slender woman with a big grin on her face, she half ran up to them “Jay” she wrapped her arms around him and gave him a big hug. “Mum, I’m working” Jay said a bit embarrassed. His mum stepped back and then realised Mia hands were in cuffs and took another step away. “Oh, Sorry Son, I didn’t realise” She said a bit shocked “Where is the car mum” She pointed, “over there,” and not knowing how to react with a criminal she turned and led the way. “How is the harvest going?” asked Jay trying to break the strangeness that had fallen over them. “Really good, it’s been a good season. We have about 2 more days and that should pull us up. How long can you stay?” “I was going to stay the night and then head off in the morning” When they got to the car, Jay put Mia in the back seat with his pack and then climbed in the other side back seat. His mum jumped in the drivers seat. “Where to,
Mia was out of the shower and in her crop top and long fluffy Pj bottomsJay knocked on the door “are you decent?” he saidShe was busy towel drying her hair but walked over and opened the door for him. He walked in, shut the door behind him, took one look at her and froze. “Oh Shit,” he said He took her all in, the innocent took on her face, the curve of her breast and hips with her low slung PJ bottoms, her flat stomach. “Oh no, are you trying to kill me” he said worriedly, he crosses to his pack and in a hurry and rummaged through until he found one of his shirts.“What” Mia said“You can’t be half naked in front of me and still want me to live.” Jay said tenselyHe pulled his shirt over her head, she was covered but she was in his shirt and that only made him feel possessive of her. Oh he just couldn’t win.“I’m going to have a shower . . . a cold c
Day 5Mia woke, stretching as usual but something was different, she could hear birds and heavy breathing. Her eyes flew open as it all came back to her, Jay had spent the whole night in the chair. She hoped he got a good night sleep. She slowly got out of bed trying not to wake him, she stared at him sleeping, and them she remembered the last time she thought he was asleep and he wasn’t. hmm she still owed him for that stunt, she went to the pack and pulled out clothes to wear for the day, she should strip down naked and get dressed in front of him, that would get him back, she shivered at the thought of his hands on her bare skin again. She should really stop provoking him before she found an answer for how they were to be together with him alive.You know what, she thought; if he was fake sleeping again and saw too much, serves him righ! She went back to beside the bed and turned her back to him. She pulled his shirt over her head and sh
They continued on their way, it was mid afternoon when Jay realised, they were being followed. Mia he said calmly, can you put your vest on and pass me mine.” She looked at him seriously.“what’s wrong” Mia asked worriedly.“We are being followed, it is just a safety precaution at this stage.”She helped Jay put his vest on and then got hers on.“I don’t think the one car will attack us but I expect sooner or later we could be ambushed They will tell the others where to find us, we need to loose that car. They must have known I entered through the port. And then followed my vehicle. We need to get a new car”“Can you show me the map,” Jay continued.Mia held it out for him to see, there was a dirt track across to the next town over that ran through a thick forest. He turned off, and gunned it. He got far enough in front that the other vehicle wouldn’t see if
“I’m sot sure,” said Jay “I need to get the whole team back together, its easier protecting one location rather than two and the team is too spread out, we don’t have each other’s backs because of shear distance. We won’t last much longer like this. Rota won’t leave the palace, while her father . . . your father is sick and I think its too risky for us to make a direct run to Ziion, if we do get found we can’t take on that many, assuming that all the GPS trackers were their personnel or vehicles.”“Mmmm” Said Mia, “Can I get into contact with Princess Rota, I want to ask her some things?” Mia asked casually“What things?” Jay asked concerned“Princess things” Mia said mischievously“You know I’m going to hear you right, I won’t let you got of my sight”“Maybe”She picked up his hand and put it over h
Day 6Princess Mia had received a call this morning at 8am, Her Father King Levis had passed away overnight. His heart had not been strong enough. She thanked the Doctor and hang up. Shimel and Lacy were by her side in an instant comforting her, crying for her too.Kat took a moment to update the team of the news making it urgent. She wasn’t sure how this would change things but knowing that it would. Princess Rota was now at more risk. She also let the team know what had been decided with the governors that she would have seven days off to mourn and then the Kings funeral would be held. Seven days after she would be crowned Queen. They now had a dead line to find who was behind this attack and prove Mia was a princess. 14 daysRe-groupJay was woken by an urgent update. He opened his comm trying to blink awake. The King had passed and they had 14 days to wrap up this investigation and have a princess
Kat had put in a transport motion for the princess to be driven to the Winter Palace and organised a fake motorcade, complete with servants dressed as the princess and her two attendants. They of course were in mourning, so their faces would be veiled. The princess, Shimel and Lacy however were dressed in full guard battle attire and were smuggled out early as preparations were made for her to leave the palace. Benny had led them to the roof where they were “officially” going on a live weapons training exercise. Jay had his superior to put in a request for transport by the military to the port for training. Ryder and Tilly would be waiting to pick them up. Kat would then be seen publicly having a disagreement with the superior regarding the Princess motorcade security and the superior would have them suspended for a week, Kat, Boris and Beeves would leave the palace immediately. The superior himself would escort the “princess” with a new security team,
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. With the official part of the night over, M
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. That Jay
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
“Well Mia, this looks like this is on you” said Bunny “we all know how bad ass you are, you just need to NOT piss them off while demanding they listen to you”Mia laughed “I’m not bad ass”“Hell yes, you are,” said Bunny “we can vote on it if you don’t believe me”Mia laughed again “Your kidding me right”“Actually Mia, how you see yourself is very important, if you don’t see yourself as a queen and their equal they will strip you down with the truth you believe.” Dora said“So who says Mia is a bad ass” Bunny saidYeah they all yelled“Bad ass is carrying a solider twice your weight to safety when he told you to stay in a safe place” said Ryder”“Bad ass is taking out an assassin in the middle of the Kings funeral,” said Kat.“The way you held yourself when I grabbed your
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
“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
