The Captain, the Mechanic and the One Night Stand Chapter 47 : While It Lasts
Theodora's POVThe fact that I could practically feel when Mads and Javier were nearby was really fucking weird. The strain of our physical distance from each other was relaxing even if the emotional tension was still there. It killed me that I couldn't see them. I couldn't let them in.If I did, I'd crumble into a pathetic sobbing mess because I missed them so damn much. The worst fucking bout of homesickness I'd ever felt. Funny. I thought Peacemaker was home. The ship I loved so much, the same one Javier called a rust bucket. A sharp laugh left my lips, followed by a hollow feeling in my chest. My eyes felt so puffy, sore, and red. I couldn't stand Javier back then. My attraction to him was skin-deep. An annoying sexual ache with pent-up frustration from my breakup with Mads. Simple as hell. It wasn't until after I saved him from the Pantomath that it started to feel more serious. That I started to notice how deep it ran. And started to finally notice how Mads looked
The Captain, the Mechanic and the One Night Stand Chapter 48 : Restless
Theodora's POVI wasn't ready for sex a few days ago. Everything felt so fragile. New all over again. I had to learn to trust Mads and Javier again. But on the bright side, now I knew our relationship was more than physical.I found myself adoring how sweet Javier was with Sol. How much he cared about his niece and she clearly noticed the change in temperament too. Mads had taken a few massive steps forward to make good on his apologies with the crew. The fact that he even gave Benji a handshake, and returned a hug from Ellie was not lost on me. He'd even playfully bump Sol on the shoulder when she was in his way.He was trying. Working through his own trauma just as hard as we worked together.Those touches meant something to him and it made me feel so warm inside to see.Daxton was starting to come around. Especially now that I didn't feel the need to hide my adoration for my lovers. And Daxton could see how much they meant to me. When we were in open space, Ben
The Captain, the Mechanic and the One Night Stand Chapter 49 : In the Dead of Night
Theodora's POVWhile that wasn't completely uncharted with an occasional finger playing with the opening every once in a while, I'd never accommodated something as big as Javier or Mads. My eyes flickered down to their cocks, clearly erect and excited for me. My sex tingled, flexing with the desire to be filled. Tight. But that also really scared me. I was the type of girl to try anything once. But ass play was not something I ever really considered delving into.But I'd be lying if I said it didn't intrigue me. I'd heard it could be great if I had the right partners. That trust went a long way. And between Javier and Mads, I trusted them wholly, with everything I had. My body clenched down like a vise, snapping my legs shut almost instinctually. Javi withdrew, waiting patiently even though his cock said otherwise. "I won't do anything you don't want to," he promised. But I knew that already. They respected my boundaries. Even the very few times I said my safeword, usually
The Captain, the Mechanic and the One Night Stand Chapter 50 : Welcome to the Family
Javier's POVThe following week went by far too fast. Every night I lay with Theo in my arms. Her breath warmed my chest in little puffs. Mads was finally sleeping too, falling into a regular pattern, one hand clasped over my shoulder while he slept with his face buried in Theo's hair.We would stay like that all day if we could. As each day went by, Theo held on tighter, unconsciously showing me how terrified she was of me leaving. Mads became more distant. Withdrawing as he usually did when he was upset. In private, while Theo was piloting, he tried to convince me to stay.Telling me how much Theo needed me as if I didn't already know. How much he needed me. It wasn't too long ago that I claimed Mads didn't have a romantic bone in his body, but now I'm learning very quickly that he did. He had a soft, molten center becoming more apparent every day.And while I loved him for it, I had responsibilities on Ilios. I was a high-ranking military officer with a shit-ton of paperw
The Captain, the Mechanic and the One Night Stand Chapter 51 : Epilogue
Theodora's POVLife was so different now.It felt like yesterday I was dodging military phasers and jumping off skyscrapers. Fighting with my dad. Avoiding Mads. Lying to my brother about my relationships. Having flashbacks every other day from wartimes.But now I was sitting around a fire pit on my family farm while we passed around a bottle of starshine and reminisced about odd jobs. Mads to my left. Javi to my right. Daxton across from me laughing about something with my dad, arm around Ellie.Benji complimented my mom's cooking. Mads joined the conversation, both dimples proud and on display.Unguarded. Just as visibly happy as I felt inside. Playfully nudging Ellie in the ribs and making her release a big belly laugh.My heart flushed with warmth. I loved him so much.When we arrived at Gaea, we made good on our promise, fixing my dad's barn. All six of us helped my dad with beams and massive hunks of metal. Now that it's fixed, Mads and Javi help my dad with his ser
The Captain, the Mechanic and the One Night Stand Chapter 1 : Theodora Walker
Theodora's POVWith an entire galaxy to police, I wondered if the Galactic Military ever got tired of chasing me from planet to planet."WALKER!" a booming voice shouted as I crossed narrow scaffolding along the massive skyscrapers on Juniper, one of Juno's moons. This particular moon had a thriving black market, but I guess the guy who sold me my goods also called the cops on me.Bastard.I teetered along the edge, along the clear glass. Inside the building, I watched several civilians point and stare at me, the crazy woman danging above a black abyss, on the precipice of the unknown plummeting down into the black hole beneath me. "Get back here, Walker! Pay for your war crimes!" the booming voice shouted again as shots ricocheted off the glass and into the sky. I could hear the heavy boots of authorities clomping against the structure, shaking the weak supports under me.I threw my head over my shoulder, looking directly at the familiar face of my ex-commanding officer,
The Captain, the Mechanic and the One Night Stand Chapter 2 : A New Mission
Theodora's POVWhen I made it up to the bridge, Benji had the call projected over the windows. His nose was buried in a book, the ship set on autopilot.Daxton had his arms folded, mid-conversation with the man taking up the screen. "I don't know why you insist on waiting for your subordinate, Captain Walker," the man stated, a sharpness to his tone. My brother often posed as the Captain of the Peacemaker, even though I was the one who called the shots. It didn't help that as soon as someone says "Captain Walker" they assume it was my brother and not me. Eventually, we leaned into it.I strode up to Daxton's side, bracing and leaning against the pilot's console."We're a package deal," my brother replied. He glanced over at me and continued, "And now that she's here, you can continue."The gangly man frowned but resumed his spiel. "As I was saying, I am the Emissary of Ilios, calling you on behalf of Emporer Cyrus."I didn't say anything, bringing my eyebrows together
The Captain, the Mechanic and the One Night Stand Chapter 3 : Ilios Nightlife
Theodora's POVNightfall in Ilios was quite the sight. Two suns meant two sunsets. Glittering the sky with purples and pinks, three different moons rose and took their place in the sky—various sizes and colors. Just as unique as the mountains decorating the horizon. The only lights were dimmed lanterns marking the open buildings. Bars. Restaurants. Night shows. The dim light preserved the beauty of the stars glowing, making me feel so small in the vastness of the galaxy.My brother hated it. Loved the stars, but hated feeling small.I found comfort in it. No matter how badly I fucked up, it would only ever be a blimp in the grand scheme of things. Peaceful silence, after all, was said and done.For once, it made my life feel simple.I leaned against the open bay door where we had docked. Daxton and Benji were setting up chairs to drink the night away before we met with the Emperor in the morning. Usually, I would join them.Not tonight.I had to get off the ship tonigh
