'Unexpectd' Crais was locked up in one of Moya's center cells. He had been dragged back to the ship by D'argo. He was laying on the narrow bunk his mind racing. He had been sure he could persuade Aeryn and the others to believe that he was no longer a Peacekeeper. Scorpius had taken control of his cruiser so he was left to discover a new place in the territories for himself. He was deep in thought when the cell door swished open. He expected D'argo to confront him again. He was surprised to see the Nebri female enter alone. "Crais I understand you have been chasing Crichton for several aruns." "Yes, since the death of my brother." "Death I had understood you accused Crichton of murder." Chiana kept her distance her head held to on side as she appraised him. He was a good sized male for a Peacekeeper. Even though his hands were still tied she knew to keep her distance. "I have come to understand it was an accident. My brothers' death was a mistake a tragic mistake." he stood up. "Aeryn says you have resigned as a Peacekeeper, that you can be trusted." Chiana asked still watchful. "I no longer desire to harm any member of this crew, including you." Crais lifted his bound hands to her in a motion of peace, she had seen Zhaan make. He also inclined his head to her in a sign of respect." "I have been with out a partner for much longer than is comfortable." She began, " Was thinking that maybe we could pass some time together." Crais had not expected this kind of an encounter with this female. She was not unbecoming, she was rather young but that had it's advantages. " I would welcome such a way to pass the time." "Good, good I'll untie your hands if you promise no funny stuff" "You have my word." Crais pledged. " I can handle myself if you decide to try something, and I am armed." Chiana told him moving to free his hands from the leather binding them. Crais made no moves to startle her once his hands were free, he wiggled his fingers and rubbed his wrists to ease the soreness. Chiana had noticed the scent of Crais once before since his arrival, now she was inhaling deeply of it. He smelled musky, male, faintly of spice. She had missed this part of the mating game. Her last place of residence had been full of males who only wanted to own her. She did not regret the death of her former jailer. Crais watched as she moved to close the cell door again. She had left herself a means of escape until she felt comfortable. " If you will allow me," Crais said as he ripped open the front of his long leather tunic coat. Once it was open he removed it, revealing his wide chest and strong arms. He was wearing only a black t shirt underneath. Chiana watched from under the fringe of her bangs, she liked what she saw. She had not expected him to be fit, officers rarely stayed in shape. Chiana had placed a small container of nectar on the floor near the door. She retrieved it now and offered Crais a cup of it. "Thank you it has been a while since I had any nourishment" " I can bring you some food after." Crais drank the cup of nectar quickly, he was beginning to like the idea of spending time mating with this female. " I don't think I have heard your name mentioned." "Chiana," she said stepping in close to him again and inhaling deeply. She placed both hands flat on his chest, and nuzzled his neck and jaw. The texture of his beard against her lips was more than pleasant, it was arousing. While she was exploring the feel of him, her quick talented hands were freeing his hair from the binding. Once free of its fastening Crais's hair was a curling mane that only made him more attractive. He allowed her to start the first part of this session but he was ready for the next step. Crais lifted her small frame against him, one hand holding the base of her head firmly the other her tight ass. He kissed her deeply, tangling his tongue with hers from the very first. Chiana returned the forceful kiss, framing his face with both hands and holding on to him with one leg around his body. Crais's hands were busy pushing aside her botice for access to her breasts. He rubbed a thumb over a nipple and Chiana arched into his hand. She growled deep in her throat and pushed her lower body even closer to his groin. They continued to kiss, each wanting control over the encounter. Crais finally lifted his mouth from her's, " If we are to achieve your goal, one of us is going to have to give a little." as he said this he thrust his hips into her with a grunt of satisfaction. " You think I'll give way?" Chiana pulled the tail of his shirt free from his waist band and tugged it upwards, once his upper chest was visible she locked her mouth over his left nipple and nipped him there. Then she licked and massaged the area with her tongue. Crais hissed when she bit him, but he removed his shirt in one swift motion. While she was busy tasting him, she was also rubbing against his arousal. He managed to move them both to the bunk while removing her top. Chiana was riding the bulge in his pants in ernest as soon as he lay back. "How do you open these frelling things?" she was pulling at his pants. Crais pushed her hands away for a moment and freed his erection from the confines of his garment. "Ah, that's more like it." Chiana caressed him for a moment then pulled off her own leggings and straddled him. She settled down over his hardness in a swift motion that sent him deep up inside of her. Crais and she both groaned with the feeling. Placing her hands flat on his chest she pushed down and back riding him. Crais raised up to meet her with each down thrust. Chiana was already close to a climax, her need had been so great. She cried out her pleasure as Crais rolled her on to her back and thrust hard. He was now seeking to achieve his own release. Chiana urged him on with her hips rising to meet his thrusts. They both grunted to a finish only moments later. "That was better than I expected." Chiana smiled up at him. " I'm far from finished." Crais thrust against her again. "Oh, you think you can repeat your performance?" "I know that I can." he with drew and rammed his still aroused organ back deep inside. Chiana held on for the ride this time unable to keep pace with him entirely. But she urged him on with her moans of pleasure. They each experienced a second climax before he groaned his finish. Chiana promised to bring him some food cubes as she slipped out of his cell.
