Chapter 170: Get Baited
"I am fine Apollo, geez, let a woman get her meat!" She chastised rather aggressively before looking tired. "Now- Let me- take- you- you. ZZZ." Janine had begun to lean forward on her knees as she was saying that and towards the end fell asleep against my thigh.
I laughed at her for a moment and cursed myself for not having a communicator so I could take a photo. I then proceeded to lift up my pants and then picked her up in a princess carry and began walking towards where I assumed her bedroom would be.
As I placed her in bed, I tucked her in and said. "You really have to be careful like that Janine, because let me tell you, I might only see you as a friend, but you are way to hot to turn something like that down."
Janine proceeded to mumble something in her sleep, but it was too incoherent to make out what it was. I then kissed her on the forehead and raised the covers slightly for one last peek. \'I hate the fact I am not a scumbag right now\' I thought as I stared at her breasts before putting the sheet back down to allow her to sleep off the drink she just had in such a short amount of time.
If she was human I would have made her purge, but Sepiidans can handle more alcohol without getting poisoned so I knew she would be fine after I left.
After entering the elevator, I decided to spend a few hours just chilling in my room before I grab something to eat later. Entering Sophia\'s apartment, I felt a wave of refreshment hit me immediately. This was my home away from home and it felt good to be back. Making my way to the couch, I sat down with a thud and sighed in relief.
"Today has been quite the day huh? From the Hyllus building to a long party to goodbyes and now that just happened. I could do with a hug." I said to the empty room. In response, the room materialised a gorgeous light brown skinned woman onto my lap. "Ask and you shall receive my universe." Onyx said in her human form, her eyes looking at me lovingly.
We sat there together for a few hours, doing absolutely nothing. It was peaceful and I entered a quasi-meditative state as I thought of nothing except for the love in my arms. Onyx was also enjoying the hug. To her, this was the greatest gift in the universe, tied with anything else Apollo does to her body.
Opening my eyes, I yawned and rolled Onyx of my body. "Oh sweet thing, you have no idea how much I needed that." I said and placed my arm around her as I did so. Onyx then nestled into me and spoke in a hushed tone. "You know, if that felt good. We could always get more intimate. What do you say?" She asked as she ran her hand slowly up my leg.
I also began running my arm down her back until it reached her rear and then pinched hard. "Ouch!" Onyx chirped, not actually feeling any pain. "Calm your jets gorgeous, I\'ve let myself go out of control this past few weeks with you and Kathrine. I need a break for when I see Orchid and after that I need to pick up my training again."
Onyx was a little disheartened, but understood. "Ok my universe, why don\'t you do a little bit of meditation now so I can watch you?" She suggested to me. I saw no reason why not. During my time with the mercenaries, I spent a lot of time training my physical body, but not my Psionics in case I caused an accident. Therefore, it would feel nice to begin training my mind again.
As I closed my eyes, I decided to start of with something simple, testing my Gyrokinesis. Getting comfortable, I started to alleviate my need for gravity, making my self lighter and lighter. As I was doing so, I cocked my head to the side in confusion. \'why does this feel easier than last time?\'
I could feel it was much easier to alleviate gravity of myself to the point that I had already reached my previous bottle neck as I only had minor contact with the couch below me. Considering I was usually exhausted by this point, I ended up losing track of time as I focused all my energy on removing the last point of contact from the surface below me.
Some time later, I was dripping with sweat as I focused so hard a vein was visibly throbbing on my temple. That being said, all my energy had just payed off as I felt myself lift off the ground for 1-2-3 before plummeting onto the couch.
Opening my eyes, I did not even register Onyx\'s ecstatic look and I lunged forward onto my hands and knees on the floor. "Oh I think I\'m going to hurl." I whispered out and Onyx then leant down next to me and started rubbing my back. "Ssshh, Ssshhh my universe. You did so well, I am so proud of you. Just sit still a moment and the nausea will wear off."
Listening to the distorted voice, I sat in silence, enjoying the soothing rubbing on my back until I felt better. Once I was back to normal, I sat up on my knees and looked straight at Onyx.
She did not need to read minds to understand what I wanted as she moved herself forwards for a kiss. The kiss was singular, but long to indicate that I felt proud of my accomplishment and she was proud of me.
After our lips parted, Onyx rubbed her hands across my face and peered deeply into my eyes with her own deep green emeralds. "I am so proud of you for passing this milestone my deepest love, I knew it was only a matter of time."
I smiled at her words, for I was genuinely happy. "What do you think made it so much easier compared to before? It can\'t just be time right?" I asked. Onyx looked away for a second in contemplation as she went over everything that has happened since we left all those weeks ago.
"I am sorry my love if you were looking for something else, but I am drawing a blank and I do not think my foresight will be useful for this."
I smile and plant a peck on her nose. "Nothing to apologise for my love, now can you carry me to the shower? I still feel a tiny bit dizzy." I said with no shame. Onyx smiled before changing forms. "Of course my universe, but only if you promise to not to put anymore smells onto my form." her answer made me chuckle and I replied back with a simple eyes closed nod.
After the shower, I felt refreshed and back to my peak. Still, I decided to lounge with Onyx for the rest of the evening and watched the tv for a few hours.
Onyx and I were snuggled up underneath a blanket when the elevator dinged open. "Apollo? Are you here- oh Finally!" Keyla said as she spotted me on the couch and ran over. She was so fixated on me, she did not notice the 5 meter tall stalker until she was right next to me. "Oh, hey Onyx, did not see you there. Did you enjoy the trip with Apollo?
Lucky gal, I bet you got laid a bunch right?"
Onyx looked at her ally and smiled her sharp teeth in confirmation. "Keyla, have you come to share some time with Apollo? I am not as stingy as dearest Orchid and would be fine with it."
Keyla cursed her situation right now, all she wanted to do was say yes and snuggle with Apollo under that blanket. "Sorry sis, no can do. I am on the clock, I just came up to inform big boy here that a couple of people claiming to be your friends have asked about you downstairs."
My curiosity was peaked and I turned away from the war documentary. "Did they give their names?" I asked. Keyla looked dazed a moment. "You know I did, but I have genuinely forgotten. Such a dope, they are recognisable though as the duo had red and pink hair."
"Oh?" I said in surprise. "They must have come on a whim after I told them about this place this morning." I said to the room in thought. The hive knew my gimmick well enough so did not respond.
"Do you feel like going downstairs love?" I asked and careened my neck towards Onyx. "No, you go have some fun my universe, I will continue to watch how these humans do war." Onyx said, munching on some mystery meat she found in the kitchen.
I nodded to her and removed the blanket from my naked form and stood up. I then turned to Keyla and said. "Can you tell the two girls downstairs that I will be down soon and get them a drink on the house while they wait?" I then walked off and upstairs to get dressed while Keyla stood there a moment, dazed by the unexpected flash.
"Sure, no problem."
