Cutlass Sharpened

by H. Lee Morgan, Jr

  “How so?”

  “The latest Solarian skeletons found were roughly twenty five thousand years old, but in those fossils we found DNA of ten or more helix strands within the few viable cells that didn’t decay. The Solarians left behind the Geo Record and we don’t have a clue what happened to them. They seeded Earth and even Drakken Prime hundreds of millions of years ago theoretically… right, we talked about it flying by King’s Tusk Tower…

  “When I found a tenth strand inside my own cells after my last gorging hunt I put the pieces together. And today you reconfirmed my own biology. After the Fire Wyrm, you were a high class one, but with all the Beasts you ate today you are now a four after eating over a hundred brains.”

  “What about your father?”

  “I was getting to that. Papa’s DNA is human. Before I thought to come to him for answers I had to see for myself… since he is secretive by nature. Double Helix. Homegrown human. I first began to fear he wasn’t my papa, but I found his genes in me as well in the few skin cells I found of my mother who passed away giving birth to me. I told no one else this secret. Not Papa, my aunts. No one aside from Sparky and Rose.”

  “Why did you hide this from me?”

  “Because I wanted to make sure it wasn’t my hormones being attracted to you or it was you, as a person, I liked. Now that I know it’s both, I can finally share my burden outside of Sparky and Rose.”

  “So eating Beasts will make me stronger too?”

  “From my own experiences, yes. It isn’t a swift process, but the more you eat the stronger you get, but the downside is you become completely dependent on them to survive.”

  “You know I already am. You should also know it is not just you and me who delight in raw Beast. Vanishing Claw became a Beast-eater too. He’s immune to the poison too. It is all he can eat now, but he seems no worse for wear.”

  This snapped Renee’s attention on him. “Really?”

  “You know I’d never lie to you like this. He’s been this way for over sixty years.” Another thought of inspiration struck. “But if he is like us and grows more powerful with each kill then logically speaking, he should have no equal. The eldest Hunter would be watched constantly and yet he retains freedom. Everything had limitations the body can handle. It’s already proven that people are better than others. Some are strong, some are weak, some have talents no other has. A person can only do as what their bodies can do. What if… and think about this for a moment… you do not grow stronger beyond the next kill and you’ve been starving yourself all these years for nothing?”

  “But then you need to ask what if my limit is so great I can’t control it? Huh? What then? I’d be a threat to everyone as well as myself. I can already vaporize entire cities. What if I get so strong that a sneeze kills anyone around me? Without control I’d be a real threat. Worst yet, I can’t unbind my helixes and believe me, I tried.” She rebounded with her quick wit.

  “Good point, but has anyone with a logically healthy mind lost control of their powers?”

  “Touché. But then you need to ask if you can stand living with me if your limits are lower than mine?” she crossed her arms.

  “Easiest thing to do all day. I love you and you’ve been stronger and smarter than me since I was found. I don’t see that changing for my situation anytime soon. Why change something I endear.”

  She leaned forward, uncrossing her arms to smugly see his breath hitch as her breasts jiggled for his viewing pleasure. “You see things so simply.”

  “That a bad thing?” he leaned forward, catching her sudden arousal.

  “I wouldn’t change you either.” She turned and threw her leg over and straddled his lap to lean in and claim his lips. She liked how he nibbled her bottom lip and sucked on it as a promise for other sensitive things to receive the same treatment. She leaned back, bosom heaving as her blood began to warm to near boiling over. “Enough talk, Olly. I want you in me.” To punctuate it she willed her clothes to vanish and leave on an uplifting see-through royal blue bra and a matching thong with a slit down below. The rest of her clothing was absorbed into the bracelet snugly attached to her wrist. “This is your reward I promised.”

  “And this is yours.” He picked her up and laid her in the center of the spacious bed to first adore her lines and curves while every scrap of armor was put away and he laid his sword on the nearest nightstand.

  Renee whimpered as he licked and kissed her neck which made her wetter. He kissed her chest and soaked her thin bra on purpose. His rough jaw’s shadow stubble roughly grated her soft skin in an exquisite way. He took her nipple between his teeth and could not stand the bra anymore and made it disappear like everything else. She panted and moaned a gasp as his hand slid down her belly and over her panties till he found the soaked split to slip between to access the inner folds of paradise. He stroked her to a writhing mess before altering finger thrusts.

  Her orgasm hit hard, but his lips stole hers to muffle and entice her sweet kisses. As she cooled down she said “I love you, Oliver.” At last saying it and kissing before throwing him over so she could take his cock with her mouth to add further lubrication before angling her entrance to slide him through her crotch-less panties. He spread and filled her to bursting before taking his hands, leaning in over his ripped body and took another kiss before rolling her hips and lifting and dropping on the hard shaft making her whole. He matched her for every move till she saw stars without looking behind through the window. “Yes…YES!” she yelled as he slammed her sweet spot, which turned out to be all over as his mere touch left a trail of warmth till he cupped her breasts and flicked her nipples with a thumb.

  Renee saw his large hands were perfectly sized to hold her abundant breasts perfectly, as if made for his attention to drive her mad with need.

  He built her up to the breaking point and just as her spine arched and she threw her head back to scream out in rapture, he too shoved himself deep inside as her inner muscles squeezed relentlessly.

  Oliver though masterfully spun her around before standing and carried her to the window where the cold screen resisted her naked body pressed to it as he took her from behind. Her breasts were flattened as his huge body sandwiched her to it as he drove himself at inhuman speeds that made her legs unresponsive, but he and the window held her up. Stars seemed brighter, burning hotter as he made his woman enjoy him satisfying her every desire. His hips slapped her firm ass each slam that had her moans growing screams and her body tensing for another release. “Olly!” he loved how she screamed his shortened name as she came loud and clear for him to know he was her man forever. Plus he liked how her eyes flared with inner light and how her pussy’s vibrations made his head spin.

  Later Renee laid flat on her back, completely nude and sprawled in a very unladylike way she had no control over. “Oliver, you’re one amazing man. I’m glad I claimed you.”

  “Then I guess you won’t be needing these.” He opened a box by her bed and pulled out a vibrator.

  “Not anytime soon. Now that I got a real cock to make me orgasm after less than three minutes per fucking, I plan to keep it occupied for the foreseeable future.” She laughed. “Put it down and come to bed. We’ve had one hell of a day and need to sleep. I’ve got a lot planned tomorrow.”

  “Are you planning to wake me up as you did this morning?”

  She rolled her hot and naked body to the side. “How about whoever wakes up first orally gratifies the other?”

  “Deal. I love tasting you. You’re so delicious.”

  “It seems we both love the taste of each other’s cream. I think I’m going to enjoy being your match. Now get in bed so I can cuddle.”

  He did just that and fell right asleep with her after one look down the bed and out into the vast expanse of space that almost promised all would be well in the universe.

  Fiery sensations pulled Renee from the chilly bedroom and she looked down to smile, finding Oliver between her legs hungrily feasting on her clit
. The bundle of nerves were traitorous and left her behind. Her hands rubbed his short brown hair as her legs lock his head in place. “You’re one horny bastard you know.”

  He sucked her pleasure bud so strongly her head dropped back and she let loose a soft moan. “I cannot get enough. I just cannot.” He lifted her up as he got to his knees, her ass on his thick chest so he could gain full access to her swelling, wet folds. Renee felt awkward being held at such an angle, but she couldn’t deny with the results his lethal tongue supplied. Never had she felt like such a woman and could not get enough. Oliver truly could not stop tasting her. It was nearly impossible. His story with her was still new, but hoped it would never settle.

  But after she came she released his head and gave him a tongue treatment he would not soon forget either before she rode him for over an hour and had her womb get numbingly saturated with his seed repeatedly.

  Renee eventually unwrapped her legs from around his waist as they finished showering to say “You need to shave.” She laughed as she ran wet fingertips across his jaw before going in for another kiss. “Umhmm. Damn, you are a fine lover. I’ve never had so many orgasms back to back before.” She hit the dryer and their wet body’s lost most of the moisture.

  “And I can’t believe how much you can take.”

  Renee grinned and grabbed his cock that twitched in her hands. “I’m a solid girl Papa call’s country thick. I’m not a twig. Besides, a cock like this that hasn’t been spliced is rare. It’s perfect for me. A skinny or small to average women would hurt badly after fitting this monster piece of meat in their magic boxes. And it’s all mine.” Her smile waned slightly. “Go shave, I need to use the head.” She turned and entered her toilet.

  Oliver stepped to the bathroom sink and mirror to search through her drawers to eventually say “Renee, I’ll be back soon. You don’t have a shaving pen.”

  “Yes I do. Pull the mirror back. I use it to cut my hair, but haven’t done so lately.” She admitted from behind the door. He did as she said and found the laser pen easily enough to clean his square jaw completely.

  “Do you use it to shave your legs?”

  “Nope. Went to the Splicers so my pores from the neck down don’t grow hair. I did it before I went to the sex center. It wasn’t very expensive all things considering. It sure helped with grooming my cunt. Good thing yours is bald too. I don’t do blow jobs if I get hair in my teeth. That is just gross.” Her tone meant it. “Last I need is to suck on one of your balls and spend an hour ridding those nasty hairs from between my teeth and snatch. Splicers are excellent in hair removal.”

  “I have an idea, why don’t you try your bracelet?” he said, turning the razor to his nether region to remove the rough hairs.

  “To splice? What for?”

  “So I don’t need to keep shaving my jaw.”

  “Nuh-uh. Keep the chin normal. I like the transition from smooth in the morning to scruff at night, but…” Renee was intrigued. “can it do that?”

  “Maybe. Netul gave me the impression my multi-took can create objects, but yours is more bodily.”

  “Care to elaborate?” She flushed the toilet and stepped out to wash her hands.

  “Well he made sure I intended to make yours with the full intent on it attaching to a woman.” Renee looked at her wrist’s accessory. “He did say yours can use biological hormones and whatnot whereas mine does more physical things.”

  “So as a woman, I’m better suited to heal?”

  “I get the feeling it’s more than that.” He scratched his head and added a pair of pants to his body. “It’s true women have many more complex hormones than men, mainly for having babies. Females are much more nurturing as a whole. Maybe your bracelet heightens those qualities. But what if yours can do more than produce hormones, what if it can rewrite genetics. When mine works I can almost touch the images that pop inside my head when I go to make something. It’s like a massive puzzle my mind pieces together and is made in my vambrace.”

  “Hmmm.” She tapped her bottom lip and rubbed her chin. “Interesting. I’ll need to discover how. If I truly can splice, I’ll need to get registered or lose my medic license. Being a medic will knock years off their study requirements. I’ll first need to do experiments. If you can go get me some breakfast I’ll get started since we got a big day.”

  “I’ll be back soon then.” He leaned in and kissed her forehead. “You want some left over Stingray the other Hunters haven’t finished off or a colon clogger omelet?”

  Renee leveled a look at him. “I’m not ready to start eating Beast yet when I need to concentrate on something else. I’m going to do another set of tests on you… Dammit Oliver, I just noticed you stopped gathering. Do it now.”

  “Whoops. Sorry.” He pulled a little and felt the river flow into the reservoir. The sensation made him feel much more alive.

  “If I catch you not doing it I’ll kick you in the balls and make them blue by working the shaft to just before you ejaculate and just walk away. I’m serious Oliver, I’m trusting you with my own secret. Don’t fuck it up or you won’t have my pussy to play with anytime soon.”

  “I’m sorry. Really. I uh… better go get you your favorite omelet.”

  “Smart.” She said and he left the bathroom, grabbed his sword and left as a comfortable long sleeved shirt grew over his body.

  Alone, Renee shook her head and laughed as she remembered his expression. He certainly remembered the kick to the scrotum and chose wisely.

  She left the bathroom and stood in front of a full length mirror to stare at her nakedness. What to wear? She thought and pictured her normal flight suit. White material gushed out of her bracelet and in a few seconds she was dressed in a skintight white medic’s uniform, but the armor’s mask covered her mouth and nose as the thin clear film covered the rest of the head. Now that she could see how she looked in a reflection Renee realized something. It’s a surgical mask to let me breathe and not infect others in desperate situations. I might be immune to damn near everything, but others certainly aren’t.

  She decided to change and then the suit turned into a sundress with sandals, then altered into a skimpy bikini, the wicked battle armor, a casual skirt and blouse, a sexy dress, silk negligee and even the most sluttish attire she could think of with sky high stiletto heels. “Oh, I’m going to love this. Too bad it can’t do makeup.”

  As she said this her bracelet reacted and she gasped as it soaked through her skin to completely disappear. She felt a great warmth going up her arm, through her neck and heating her face. Renee was too shocked to move as her lips reddened as if she put on lipstick, her freckled cheeks pinked and dark blue kohl went in to line her eyes. Her skin went completely flawless and as the warmth left, it traveled the way it came before the bracelet seemed to be expressed out of her skin like black sweat.

  The makeup stayed and was done exactly as she imagined.

  “Ssshhhiiittt.” She stuttered and ran from her room, changing during the near run, into pants and a simple t-shirt with a v neck to show off some of her cleavage.

  Waiting in the medical room was the scanner and dropdown mirror she had her chip ready. The scan started the moment she stopped and beams of light began to go all over. She began to see through the chip and as she did there was an alert and her bracelet broke down and was moving like a cloud of nanites that passed through her body without damaging anything. It went straight into her frontal lobe and for a moment her chip stopped working. Then all of a sudden it came back online and was getting readouts so clear she knew it was fake as the screen moved along with her eyes. Her chip was not just a single piece of crystal anymore, somehow it had been broken into fragments so small the scanner could barely detect it and the dust was literally connected throughout her conscious neural network. The chip particles had been fully integrated into her very mind. Total immersion and she found it was now effortless to use its many function, but it was more. Data memory was now stored in her organic subconscious
and able to be recalled at a mere desire. To top it all off, she felt the range to plug into other networks spread over half the ship when normally hacking in require her to be within ten to fifteen meters of a node connected to the terran network.

  “What is wrong?” Sparky came running into the med bay searching for what caused her to fear so greatly. Seeing nothing, his body dimmed to shiny forest green. “Renee? Speak to me!”

  His mental shout jarred her out of shock and she stumbled for a few words before settling down into her desk chair. “Why now?” she asked herself. “Why did it do that to my chip and not before?”

  A Drake hissing is a sound one cannot ignore and she looked up to a last take notice of his presence. “Talk. Now.”

  “If you read me it will be faster.”

  He did and took a few moments before saying “Your device must work like Oliver’s. His did something similar in one of Stephanie’s experiments. You wanted to see what it did to you, but you didn’t use your chip before you slept for such a narrow requirement. For something solid” His talon flicked the black bracelet which clinked like solid metal. “to pass through your skin means it had to be broken down to the micro level. Your need to see what it did inside must have known your chip was inefficient to show conclusive proof of its ability. Take the coms he’s made. They are much smaller and have no limit reach, even Jessica and all her skills can detect an end. Your object did the same with your chip. I can see through your eyes and never has your chip been so clear. The zoom function alone can see atoms in the scan. It must have fully integrated your own brain’s processing power into a cohesive melding of human and technology. Look there in the synaptic response, the crystal particles work like organic neurons to pass along the synaptic firing.”

  “I see it, now that you point it out.” Her gaze narrowed. “So you’re saying it would have left my chip alone had I not desired to see how it colored my face?”

  “Far as I can surmise.”

  “I can handle that. Sparky, keep me calm while I do a few things.”
