I had seen her make better landings, but considering the circumstances, it wasn't the worst crash I'd survived. We popped the canopy to a cloud of red dust, and bailed out of the smoking cockpit of her prowler.

I hit the dirt a little dazed. Through the chaos of stirred up grit I could make out several dark forms. It was obvious the beings weren’t there as a welcoming committee when I heard Aeryn shout my name over the crackling hiss of electrical fire coming from the prowler.

Instinct kicked in and I hot-footed it around the wreckage, trying my best to pick out Aeryn’s exact location from the memory of her shout, all the while hoping she didn’t mistake me from one of the bad guys. She had already taken out two of the shadowy figures with an equal number of pulse blasts. I had no idea how many there were, but in what seemed like a matter of microts, the dust was settling. I found myself straddling the body of the last alien, smashing the creature in the face with the back end of Winona.

Every now and then I'd remember parts of my old life. I once watched Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas wondering why the fuck Hunter S would want to down a vial of adrenalchrome - but now I knew. I'd been a junkie for quite some time, only I wasn't waking up in hotel rooms filled with the funk of a party gone sideways, it was ‘cause real life had gone sideways a long time ago.

Aeryn knew better than to stop me. At least that's what I'd come to believe over the past half cycle. The war had changed me into a real live Humpty Dumpty. I held the limp figure up by the threadbare fabric of its hooded cloak, and asked "Who the frell are you? And why the attack - don'tcha know the war is over?" I didn't wait for an answer. Before I knew it, I'd squeezed off a round into what was left of its face.

~*~

My mind wasn't what it used to be, and for the life of me I couldn't put my finger on when violence could flip my switch as quickly as Aeryn's hand up my thigh. Then again, I always did get a little turned on watching her in full frontal assault mode. So why not bust a boner over beating someone's face in? It was a guilty pleasure; a bad habit picked up over too many battles. I kinda figured she knew, but didn't outright tell her. After all, I didn’t want to hurt her.

I helped salvage a few supplies from the wreck and attempted to get a comm through to Moya. Getting no response, I figured we might have been out of range or the roving dust storms were wreaking havoc on communications in the area. Nothing new there. At this point in time I was used to being screwed over. Aeryn claimed to know this particular hunk of rock - said the slow revolution made for long nights, making is safe for her to be tramping through the desert. It was sunset, but I would have felt a helluva lot better getting to some sort of shelter.

The terrain looked like a Mad Max set. A red’n dusty Aussie outback. I half expected ‘the humongous’ to ride up on our asses, demanding gasoline. The dim light of three distant moons joined the coupla stars, casting an eerie glow over … nothing. I trudged along behind Aeryn, my body on auto pilot but my brain on overdrive.

I thought of broken faces and blood on my hands. I thought of old friends and dead family members. I'd almost forgotten all their names. Somewhere, light years away people I vaguely remembered were drinking a cold one, feet up and watching the game, their only concern - if Dallas was gonna whoop the ‘Niners. Maybe it wasn't even football season, how the fuck would I know anyway? Six cycles and a galaxy wide war and a guy could get a bit twitchy, could start bashing people's faces in for fun. Fuck.

It might have been an arn, maybe two when a broken-down settlement appeared on the horizon. The place was completely dark - either everyone around here went to bed with the chickens or it really was deserted. Aeryn suggested we approach quietly and with caution. All these cycles and sometimes she still treated me like a new recruit. I couldn’t knock her for that - I had done some pretty stupid shit in the past. As we got closer, my internal alarm started going off like a fire bell. There was movement coming from the dilapidated structure. We had been spotted.

In the open, we had no place to run. Four hooded figures rushed out, waving weapons. I was just leveling Winona when a sudden blast lit the sky over the main structure, followed by an explosive crack. As everyone fell to the ground, more of the cloaked guys fled into Mad Max territory. I motioned to Aeryn and we ran for the cover of a smaller building. It was then that we saw the source of the pulse blast - a combat drone.

At the start of the war, mechanized combat drones were manufactured by less technologically advanced societies to take out enemy ground troops. I like to call them ‘battle bots’. I hadn’t seen one in awhile, this one must have slipped through the cracks. Whirring across the sand, scanning the horizon for movement, the ‘battle bot’ made a U-turn and headed straight for us. We about to turn tail when Aeryn noticed the machine had an operator.

Sliding along a wall, leaving my enticing little Stormtropper as bait, I watched the drone rattle up, the hunched figure’s hands tensing on the trigger mechanism of the mounted gun. For once, something went smoothly – I stepped out and knocked the alien off the bot in one easy movement. I was surprised to find he wasn’t one of the Jawas, but a local. Hell, in my mind, it didn't matter. There was no line between good and bad anymore. Survival was the game, killing often the means, and this poor sucker had a commodity - transportation.

~*~

Everything got away from me, starting with that strange buzz in my gut - a mixture of straight anxiety and that funny feeling that set every nerve of my body on fire. All I could think about was getting off.

With my teeth clenched and my breath ragged, I damn near lost it – opened that can of whoop-ass on this cowering alien. Aeryn's hand closed upon my wrist, stopping me in mid blow. Dust swirled on the wind around us both, whipping her hair across her face. There was a storm coming, and she was the eye of it. Behind her, lightning flashed, throwing her into silhouette. She stepped out from behind her carefully constructed mask, an opened book meant only for me. She stood silently but I could feel her eyes screaming at me to not take this one final step away from the man I used to be.

Her fingers slowly unwrapped and I wanted to give her a reassuring nod that I was cool, but I couldn't really promise that anymore. Too many things had happened too many damned times during the war. You can never really put a broken vessel back together without missing a few pulverized pieces here and there.

I sat back on my heels and waited for her signal. Showing restraint was tough. My blood was rushing hard through my veins and I felt the need to either hit … or fuck. At times I couldn't tell which I wanted to do more.

Shielding my eyes, I looked at the old man lying on the ground, then to the ones sprawled a short distance from him. I saw that he could have picked us off easily when we came into range, but he took out our attackers instead. It's a bitter pill to swallow, to know I'm punch-happy even during the best of times.

All I could say was sorry. I stood up, and held out my hand to the old geezer, trying to thank him. He stared at me with familiar fear in his eyes and stumbled off into the shifting winds. I couldn't blame him.

Gazing around the abandoned village, Aeryn sarcastically remarked that the old dude was ‘helpful’. Gotta love that. But sarcasm or not, she was right - he had been useful at scaring off the remaining tenants of this desert ghetto. I motioned to a section of buildings that looked storm-worthy and like good little soldiers we entered quickly and secured the premises.

I couldn't decide which seemed more dirty, the outside or the inside, but at least it provided protection against the wind. ‘Course, the indoors had one up on the outdoors in the grunge department, but we’d live, or so I hoped. There was a main room, and what was probably once a good sized wash room that stood in plain view - the separating wall just adding to the rubble on the ground. A water pipe leaked rusty drops from the sink and a slow red trickle disappeared into a grating in the floor. The rest of the floor was covered in dirt and small chunks of debris. There was no glass in the windows, it had all been broken or shot out long ago. I could hear the wind whistle through the open panes and various cracks in the walls. All in all, just another dren hole in the ass end of the universe.

Aeryn set her bag down on a broken table in the middle of the area and heaved a sigh. I could feel her stare, making me more uncomfortable by the microt, so I turned around and pretended to look out one of the broken windows. If the glass were still there, I would’ve had half a notion to punch my fist through it, the ensuing pain and blood might have been distraction enough to forget about the aching hard on I was still trying to hide. I attempted to casually make some adjustments, so it didn’t feel like my gun belt was cutting off my circulation.

I’d finally come to understand why Aeryn always talked about ‘reducing fluid levels’ after battle. It was just another maneuver, a strategy. Over time, she had told me many stories about quick fucks in bunkers, against walls, in prowlers - not because she freely offered the information, but because I asked her to describe how it ‘used to be’ for her. I’d never met a chick that was as ‘o.k.’ with a quickie as any of my male buddies. It was weird. ‘Course, being out here changed my perspective on a lot of things.

It had been over a monen since we'd frelled, half that time since I'd been able to crank one off by myself. That was one she didn't know about, ‘cause why would I tell the love of my life I was getting my jollies off over breaking bones? Lost in thought, my senses didn't catch her approach until her husky tone advised my brain to take a closer listen.

“Turn around.”

My pulse hitched up a notch at the thought of confronting her in my current state. I tried to stay calm, turned around as requested and was thrown against the wall. I doubled over, gasping to catch the breath that had just been knocked out of me. I made a feeble attempt to scramble to the side, but she grabbed hold of my jacket and in an instant had me pressed back against the grimy bricks. Her eyes were harsh as she asked, "Is this what you like now?"

My friend adrenaline was failing me, and there were few things that could kill an erection faster than a bony knee to the crotch. She had me completely stunned by her sudden power-up to sadist. Her knee kept me uncomfortably pinned in place while she asked me again if violence, not her, was my new frell. I must've sounded pretty pathetic when all I could come up with was, "I ... I'm ... sorry ... Aeryn ... I'm really ... sorry."

There was no smooth way of getting out of this one. I had been caught like a teenager with a stack of porno mags and was now staring down the woman who would kill me to save me from my enemies and frell me senseless to save me from myself. She had me literally by the balls, as she replaced her knee with her palm and increased the pressure until I imagined my face looked like I just had an appendage slammed in a door jam. It got to a point where I didn't know whether it was the actual pain, or the fact that it was Aeryn who was doing this to me, but right before I felt like passing out, something snapped deep inside my brain. Something also must have changed in my eyes because a microt later she let me go, and I dropped to my knees. A mix of emotions ran through my head as I tried to get my bearings back. I felt her arms around me, hugging me to her chest, and now she was the one saying sorry.

Aeryn was like a magic elixir. No other woman could have brought me back from the brink quite like that. It was all I could do, grasp her face in my hands and plant one on her. The kiss was intense like the storm outside the walls of our beat up shelter. Electricity ran in the air and through my body. My pain was almost forgotten, and in a sudden move I was up on my feet, carrying her to the first flat surface that wasn't the floor.

I could feel the rise start again and for a moment my thoughts drifted back to fists connecting with bone, but this time all I wanted and needed to do was to concentrate on the woman before me. I was struggling to unfasten the clasp on her leathers when her lips unlocked from mine long enough to utter, “Wait …” I was panting like a dog in the heat as I leaned onto the cold stone surface of the sink counter. Maybe she really was trying to kill me.

I stumbled backwards when she grabbed a fistful of my jacket and steered me over to the wall. Maybe I should’ve taken that thing off. My heart pumped up again, the extra blood heading due south. I didn't resist. I was letting her lead me all the way home and if I died on the way there, I couldn't think of a better method of checking out.

I stood motionless. Her one hand was placed firmly on my chest while the other was busy trying to unfasten my gun belt and the top of my pants. We’d done this plenty of times, but for some reason this felt like an all new experience and I got a little anxious thinking about her pulling my pants down. Though in a way, I couldn’t wait until she did because that damn leather left no room to grow. I was treading the line between pleasure and pain, a little uncertain if envisioning grandma naked was enough to keep me from blowing my wad in the confines of my leathers. Then I saw Aeryn drop to her knees.

I was definitely losing control and tried to focus on anything to keep the tidal wave at bay. Of all things to pop into my head, I thought about the first time I met Aeryn, and I realized that was the first time that fighting ever turned me on. Every kick and punch was like a strange erotic experience. 'Course, I was practically a virgin in her hands back then. Confused and out of breath, knocked on my can by what appeared to be the most beautiful woman I'd ever laid eyes on. When she pinned me to the floor I remembered praying to all that was holy that I would survive long enough for her to kick my ass again.

Her cold hands under my shirt snapped me from reverie and sent my muscles into a quivering spasm. I was failing calculus all over again, trying in vain to work out difficult problems in my head as another distraction. None of my tried and true methods of holding back were doing me a lick of good. I was on fire, and Aeryn was like rocket fuel. I really started to sweat when I felt her fingers travel along my hips then work into the constricting leather of my pants. Her touch sent me through the roof. I couldn't look down and risk catching the moment when her lips would hit their target.

For a second, the air was cool against my newly exposed flesh. My eyes were still closed, but shot open when I felt the temperature change. She didn’t start out slow, but was working me like a well oiled pump, and the moist friction became the only thing I could focus on. I was losing my footing fast, caught up in the surging of over-stimulated nerve endings. Unable to utter more than, “Uhhhh fuck!", I frantically grabbed her hand, squeezing hard in an attempt to delay the internal clamp down that’d happen right before I lost it. I leaned over and held my breath, waiting out those critical seconds with what I was sure was the lamest face I'd made since I tasted fried dentic.

"Are you going to make it, John?"

I couldn't tell whether she was serious or sarcastic, until she shot me a crooked grin. Frell. I let her hand go and leaned back up against the wall, a little embarrassed with myself for not being able to handle ten seconds of a blow job. I pitifully asked her if she could slow it down a bit.

Then again, who was I trying to kid? I didn't trust myself to hold out against her, slow or fast. She probably could’ve just stood there staring at me and that would’ve been enough to push me past the point of no return. Also, I didn’t quite trust myself to fully let go, to risk slipping back into that dark place my sex life had been hiding. But, after six cycles with someone they start to read your mind. This is what she said to me: "John, I'm not going to let you go back. I want you to frell me up against this wall, and I don't care if it lasts 30 microts or the next arn, we're going to come together and you're not going to need to bash anyone's brains in to do it."

That's my girl.

There’s something to be said for a woman that tells you to fuck her, and don’t stop. Every man’s fantasy come true … and then some. In a small way, I wish it were still only a fantasy. That I was still sitting on my ass daydreaming about successful tests and kidding DK about that stupid ass earring that he insisted made him look cool.

But then I wouldn’t have this walking, talking wet dream in front of me, standing half naked in a rundown building in the middle of a storm on a planet I didn’t even know the name of. I wouldn’t be able to feel her tight ass under my hand as I squeeze too hard, lifting her up, her legs hooking over my shoulders while we slam against the wall.

My imagination ain’t that damn good.

I licked and sucked on her clit, driving my tongue in deeper, her legs tightening around the back of my head. I couldn’t hear her moans, but I could feel them vibrate through her as she screamed to rival the wind outside our door.

I knew she was close, and despite Aeryn’s earlier imitation of sucking a bowling ball through my dick, I wasn’t too damn far away myself. But I wanted to be inside her for that performance.

I was about to explode in more ways than one as I lowered her down and slid into her. I couldn’t read the expression on her face in the dim light, but I didn’t need to. I know what she looks like now. I could feel it wherever my fingers touched her skin. She wanted this as badly as I needed it.

Fingers pulled my hair as I shoved myself harder and harder into her. Part of me wanted to ease up, afraid I might hurt her. The other part gave up all reason and sought headquarters in the head of my dick while it swam through her pussy juices.

It felt like a fucking train wreck, like my spine was getting sucked through my body. I could feel Aeryn clenching around me trying to drive me home. Her hands grasped tightly around my shoulders, pulling herself up away from the wall. I leaned in further, no longer able to tell where she began or I ended. I felt the sharp sting of her teeth as she bit into my shoulder, the pain causing my heart and my hips to beat in time as I thrust harder.

There’s no way to hold back much longer, and somewhere in the back of my mind Aeryn’s voice whispered to let go. And I did, and I would swear to everything that is holy that I disappeared. Aeryn disappeared. All there was, was that moment. Blood rushing. Bodies merged into something that never existed before in the universe. Our screams locked beneath our lips as they crushed together.

We sank to the floor, limbless, thoughtless, ignoring the dirt and the wind that screamed through the broken slats of the walls, to dry the sweat from our bodies. There were a lot of things that I still had to work out in my head. I don’t know if it’s completely fixed. I seriously doubt that one good fuck’s enough to make my troubles go away.

The idea of cracking skulls still has it’s pull, but not as strongly as it did a few arns ago. I have a lot of baggage, and sometimes…sometimes it feels so much better to fuck someone up before its done to me. It’s enough knowing that Aeryn had pointed me in the right direction, lighting the way across the cris-crossing paths that scarred my heart, to show me the way back home. To her.
