“Yeah, sorry.”
“No, it’s fine, I just want to make sure I’m not hurting you or anything.”
That was the last thing I wanted to do. To hurt her would be the worst thing for me. She’d already been through a lot. I didn’t want her injuries to get worse. I moved back a little.
“Where do you think you are going?” she hissed.
“I, I…”
She pulled on my pants, pushing them down slightly, releasing the tip of my cock that was still hard as a rock. She touched it tentatively, caressing the tip with her thumb and index finger. I saw the need and aching desire in her eyes. I reached into my wallet and removed a condom.
“Yeah?”
Laney nodded, pulling on my cock as if to add further meaning to the gesture.
I slipped out of my pants and slipped the condom over my cock. Laney watched me the entire time like some predatory cat waiting for her prey.
I pushed her legs apart, holding my hands on each side as I slipped inside of her. The feeling of her tight pussy clenching against my cock sent jolts of energy through my brain. I felt the heat against my skin, the excitement making me shiver with delight. Soon, I was all the way inside her, stopping a moment to enjoy the tightness and heat of her body.
I looked her deep in the eyes. It felt like she was looking at my soul and me into hers. I started to press in deep, feeling her tighten even more around me. The slight look of pure surprise and something I construed as pain in her eyes made me stop.
“Do not stop,” she snarled.
I nodded and started to thrust in and out, watching as her eyes rolled to the back of her head, her hips slapping against me. Soon, we got into a rhythm together. It was as if we were making music, a symphony of desire that was orchestrated just for us.
I never wanted to lose this woman. I would not die in the upcoming fight. I knew whatever happened that I would always have Laney by my side. These thoughts coursed through my mind as I pounded into her. I realized then that this was not just fucking. This was making love. This was the start of making a life together as one.
I could see my turbulent and sweet thoughts mirrored in her eyes. This realization made me feel whole. But soon the physical and the carnal took center stage as she began to move her hips more urgently against me. Her gaze was no longer dreamy and distant. Now, she looked right back at me, as if to say, fuck me harder. I need all of you, now!
I let my hands move towards her breasts, cupping them in my hands, teasing the nipples with every passing thrust. I felt her tense up. She let out a gasp as the pummeling became more primal.
After a few more moments, she released a deep cacophonous moan. I began to move faster still, watching as her eyes began to widen, the challenge from before replaced by something that resembled sweet surrender. I could tell that I was doing something right when the moan morphed into a series of gasps. I then started to push in deeper, and when I finally hit that spot, she let out a cry that she immediately muzzled with her arm as she bit into her own flesh.
It was too much. I couldn’t take the sheer sexiness of her coming apart below me any longer. I let out a low groan. My cock jerked as I spilled into the condom, my orgasm rushing over me in a torrent of pent up lust and love for this woman. I watched as she writhed on the bed, her climax taking over, mingling with my own. This only prolonged our mutual deliverance until as if out of the blue our bodies ceased moving and our groans of pleasure evaporated into nothingness, the only sound remaining a series of gasps and deep breaths.
“That was so good. Oh my God.”
“You’re not hurt or anything, are you?” I inquired.
She shook her head and smiled. “A little bit sore, but it was worth it.”
I grinned. “You mean so much to me.”
“You mean a lot to me too.”
We looked into one another’s eyes, and I could see the worry that was there.
“You’re scared of what’s coming next, aren’t you?” I said.
“Yeah. I am. I don’t know how we’re going to deal with all this. I’m worried about how Audra is going to tackle all of this.”
I totally understood her feelings. I didn’t know what the plan was either. It could either go well, or we’d be in deep shit. But, when I looked at Laney, I could see something different.
A defiance that I normally didn’t see in her. A desire to make things right, no matter what.
“We’ll do this. together,’ I insisted.
“Are you sure though? I don’t want to hold you back.”
I shook my head. “There is no way you would hold me back.”
She smiled.
“Thanks, Stephan. I love you. So damn much.”
“I love you too, Laney. You get better. When t’s time, we will take up the fight together.”
She smiled, and I felt a feeling of relief. I knew that we would be fine together, especially since we had one another. But there was that lingering fear of what might come about next. What would we do now? What was the plan from here on out? What do you do when everything is just falling down in your face?
I honestly didn’t know, but maybe, just maybe, the best thing for me to do would be to just wait it out and make the final decision when the time was right. Maybe, once I had a better feel for the situation, we could figure out our relationship, and handle all the barriers.
Chapter8: Laney
Chapter 8—Laney
I spent most of the next couple of weeks just resting. At first, I was in the hospital where I was taken care of by nurses who were part of the Ravens. They were sweet and helpful, and I was quite happy that they were as nice as they were.
But the truth was that I was ready to fight.
I heard about what they were doing to those innocent people. At first, I heard about the bombings and the bomb threats. It all seemed pretty scary, but then, I was hearing about other shit too.
There was poisoning of water supplies, electrical lines being mysteriously cut. But I didn’t know where to start. When I looked at the news, it made me sad.
I just wanted to do something about this mess.
At first, it was certainly not working out in the way I thought it would. I certainly was looking to figure out what I was doing here, but I had no clue where to start.
I read up a little bit on some of my options. I could either just wait, or figure out what was going on, or I could fight. Every time I had the urge to do something, I wanted to fight.
I was sitting in my room the night before the attack on the government buildings. It was a safe house that the Ravens had put together. I heard a knock at the door. I quickly opened it, and there was Stephan.
“Hey babe. Are you doing okay?”
“As good can be. You know, with everything going on and all.”
“I get that. I wanted to check with you on what is going to happen next. You know, what we’re going to do now. The truth is, I want to make sure that you’re ready to make the right decision. To fight with me.”
I nodded. “Yeah. I’m fighting with you. Whether you like it or not.”
“Alright. Well, I’m glad. I was worried that you would say no. If that were the case, we would have had to say goodbye.”
I shook my head.
“We’re not saying goodbye. At least not yet,” I stated with a smile.
“Good. You’ve been practicing what I told you to practice.”
I nodded.
“Yeah. I’ve been practicing a lot.”
“Really now. So you think you’ve got this.”
I leaned in, giving him a long, passionate kiss. “Of course, babe. I assure you I’ll be fine. You just take care of him.”
“Good. I will.”
We spent the night kissing and making love. My injury was long gone, and I didn’t have to worry about that anymore. The next morning, I got up, heading over to the underground tunnels where Stephan told me to meet up.
“Alright you know the plan, right?” he said.
“Ye
ah. Take care of the bomb first and foremost while you head to the mansion, right?”
“Correct. Daniel won’t be where the bomb is. He’s going to be hiding in the shadows because he’s a pussy. But I need you to finish the job as well.”
“I will. We’ll do this. I’m not getting out of this without you, you know.”
I meant that. Even if I had to go through and do it myself, I would stick around. I looked into his eyes, noticing the slight hesitation. I touched his shoulders, smiling.
“Relax. They’re going to have to do a lot more than what they did the first time to get rid of me,” I insisted.
He relaxed. I could sense that there was a lot of nervousness. But I would come back. And together, we would make it.
I wanted to be the person he could rely on, the one that he could turn to. I wanted to prove myself. I was a member of the ravens. I wasn’t going anywhere.
“When this is over… can I tattoo you?” he asked.
I flushed.
Did he really mean that? I mean, I did like tattoos, and I wanted to get another one from him, but I didn’t expect him to ask so forthrightly.
“Yeah. You can do that.” I smiled.
“Good. I’ll make it perfect, something that you can remember me by.”
“I’ll hold you to that then, honey.”
We gave one another one last kiss before we set off into the tunnels. The plan was simple. I went over it with him again and again.
The plan was as follows: we would continue together until the path split. From there, we would keep in radio communication with one another when we got to the points and when we finished the job. Until then, we wouldn’t speak to one another unless it was a dire emergency. I knew it was a scary thing, and something that could end up biting us both in the ass, but there was something about this that made me feel relieved in a sense. As I looked at him once more when we reached the split point, he smiled.
“Don’t worry, I’ll be here for you,” I said.
“And me for you, babe.”
With one last kiss, we went our separate ways and to our destinies. I would come back alive no matter what. I needed to see Stephan again because I loved him. But there was something about all of this that made me feel like it would be all right.
The truth was, I didn’t know what would happen or even if the two of us would see one another again. But I had to hope. I had to expect the unexpected, and I had to believe in Stephan, which was something I knew that I could do.
And with one last goodbye, we separated.

Chapter 1—Laney
Saying goodbye to Stephan felt scary, and I didn’t know whether I’d see him again. I walked through the tunnel, knowing that I’d come out towards city hall when I exited the place. When I got out of there, I discovered that I wasn’t alone.
About three different guards were around. When they saw me, they nodded.
“Laney, right?” the first one said.
“Who are you?”
“Meryl sent us. We’re here to help you stop the bomb. It seems that the Tigers are already surrounding this place, and they plan on taking hostages. We’re to fight against those people while you disarm the bomb and take care of Audra,” the man said.
That makes sense. I know that Meryl was dictating where people were to go, besides us of course.
“Do you think we can make it?” I asked him.
“I’m not sure. I think that—”
A scream was heard in the distance.
“Shit, that’s our cue!” I cried out.
I rushed forward with these guys, remembering my training. Stephan had taught me well. And even though I thought I’d never make it into something like this, here I was, about to fight my past and secure my future.
The city hall building had people rushing out, and a group of men starting to storm it. I followed them, my heart beating through my chest. I was worried about whether I’d make it in time or not. I knew that the bomb was set to go off right at noon.
I checked the clock. I literally had no time to go and find it.
I rushed inside, and a man came right towards me, his arms flailing, brandishing a knife in his hand. I dodged out of the way, moving forward and stabbing the guy in the chest. His eyes looked wild and feral, a sign that he clearly wasn’t all there in the head.
None of these guys were.
In a way, that made me feel a little bit better about attacking them. It meant that I didn’t have to feel remorse if I hurt any of them. I pressed on forward, hitting and striking down everyone that was there. They flailed about, crying out in sheer pain, and as I watched them fall, I knew where the end goal was.
There were a couple of people hiding in the corner, shaking with fear. I walked over to them, opening the door and looking into their eyes.
“Hey, get out of here. I’m not here to hurt you,” I stated.
They quickly raced out of there and I walked up the stairs. There were a few more prisoners here and there, each of them scared shitless. I almost felt bad for them. They were victims of circumstance, unable to control just what was going on.
I finally walked up the two flights of stairs over to the main hallway. A couple more grunts came at me, their knives brandishing, and I struck them down. One of them tried to get out a taser to hit me in the back of the neck, but I remembered what Stephan taught me when fighting these kinds of guys. I swung my leg at them, roundhouse kicking them to the face, and then kicked them in the skull once again.
They laid there unconscious. I thought about doing more damage, but right now wasn’t the time. I raced over towards the end of the hallway, seeing a couple more men there.
This time they each had cattle prods. They swung at me, but I dodged out of the way. They quickly hit one another, shocking themselves and falling to the ground.
They may be stronger, but they certainly weren’t smarter. I smiled, rushing out of there and over to the office.
When I got inside, I looked around, trying to figure out if there was anyone about. There wasn’t. But I heard a sound coming from the corner.
The bomb.
That had to be it.
I put my hands on the wall, touching and feeling for its exact location. It had to be close. I listened for the beeping, and once it got loud enough, I opened up the panel that was there.
Sure enough, there it was, nestled within the electrical panel.
“Shit, this is enough dynamite to blow this place sky-high,” I said to myself.
I was familiar with this type of bomb, but that didn’t make me feel any better as a result. I quickly started to move my hands towards the device, attempting to disarm the bomb. That was when I heard something to my right.
Laughing.
I whipped my head around, looking at who was in the chair.
Audra.
My former best friend, sitting there with a maniacal smile on her face.
“Fancy seeing you here Laney,” she purred.
“What do you want?”
“I’m here to stop you. After all, you’re the naughty girl trying to thwart my plans, trying to make it so that you guys win. I’m surprised you came on your own. I was ex
pecting your little boyfriend to tag along and shit,” she said.
“He’s not my boyfriend, and he’s taking care of the other part of this equation.”
“Whatever, I’m not here for those goddamn excuses. I’m here to get rid of you.”
“That’s what you think.”
I grabbed my knife, holding it in my hands, but then, Audra smiled.
“Come on, you really want to repeat what happened the last time? This time, I won’t miss. I’ll kill you.”
I tensed, feeling my entire body on edge. I didn’t want to die here, but I also wasn’t going to just sit here and let her get away with this.
“That’s what you think. I’m not going to die here. I’ll live, and I’ll make sure that my past never affects me again! I’m not going to let you get away with this.”
“Whatever you say. You’re already too late, Laney. You sealed your fate the moment you paired with those damn Ravens.”
“And I guess you did the same with the Tigers. You know, I thought one day we could be friends again, that we could see this through and work together. But I know for sure now … that you’re a goddamn monster who doesn’t deserve anything!”
I lunged forward, our knives clashing. I knew that my steps here would determine my future and my fate. It also would determine whether or not I lived or died.
But I wanted to live. I wanted to fight, and I’d do whatever the hell it took to make sure that I got what I wanted. The clanging sound of the knives, the shrieks of laughter that came from her, all of this was making me realize one thing, and one thing only.
That I had to win here. This was my fate, and this would determine whether or not I’d see Stephan again, and whether or not we’d stop these fuckers in their tracks.
Chapter 2-Stephan
I was worried about Laney to say the least.
When I thought about her, my hands tensed. Was she all right? I knew that if things did get bad this time around, I couldn’t save her. But maybe that was a sign of something else.
