Elsewhere in Space
Gamora hesitated, her hand stopped an inch from Peter Quill's cabin door. Peter had seemed haggard and morose in the days since his father's death. Of course, he wasn't mourning the loss of his biological father, Ego. After all, that maniac had tried to kill them all along with half the galaxy. No, Peter was despondent not due to Ego's death but that of Yondu, the man who had raised him.
She had thought it best to give him time to process, but tonight she felt that perhaps he needed her. And Gamora would never admit it to anyone, not even herself, but she needed him as well. And so she drew up her courage and knocked. She waited, but there was no response, so she knocked again.
"Peter?" Gamora called softly through the door.
This time, she heard a clunking noise from within his cabin. A moment later, the door opened. Peter stood in front of her in his gray undershirt, blinking and shaking his head from side to side.
"Hey...uh sorry, I was sleeping."
"Oh, I didn't mean to wake you," she said, turning to leave.
"No, wait. I'm already up now, so what can I do for you?"
Gamora's cheeks reddened despite her green skin, her words sticking in her throat. "You've seemed...distant as of late. I thought maybe you'd like some company."
Peter paused, uncertain how to reply.
"It's fine if you don't," Gamora spurted out, sensing his hesitance.
"No...no. I'd like that." He moved aside, allowing her into his cabin. The pair sat down on the edge of his bed, and he offered her a cup of Zatoan malted liquor. They sat there in silence for a few moments, both sipping their drinks.
"You miss him." It was more of a statement than a question.
"Yeah, it's weird." Peter admitted. "Yondu was always a hardass, but even as a kid, I could tell he didn't mean half the crap he said. A lot of it was just to keep his crew in line."
"Yondu was a good person. He cared about his crew. You can tell a lot about someone from how he treats his subordinates. Trust me, I grew up around Thanos."
"Yeah, he cared all right. Just before he..." Peter's voice trembled. "Just before he died, Yondu told me that Ego may have been my father, but that he was my daddy."
Gamora placed her hand on Peter's and squeezed.
"He even told me that he was lucky I was his boy," Peter continued, tears welling up in his eyes. "Even though I got kidnapped from Earth, I never really felt lonely when I was with Yondu and a part of his Ravager crew."
"Yondu was your Zardu Hasselfrau." Gamora smiled.
"Hasselhoff," he corrected her with a beleaguered smile. "Now that he's gone, I wish we'd had more time. I feel the most alone I've felt since my mom died."
Gamora looked intently into his eyes. "But you're not alone, Peter. You have us; we're your family, too. Whatever nightmares the future holds, we will face them together."
Peter blinked away the tears, a feeling of warmth spreading through his chest from what Gamora had said. Without meaning to, he leaned in and kissed her on her dark green lips.
In a flash, Gamora had pinned Peter back against the bulkhead, her elbow pressed hard against his throat.
"Ech! What...are you...doing?" Peter uttered, a wheezing groan accompanying each word.
"I didn't mean to do that." Gamora apologized as she let go of her hold on his throat. "It's just...I have lived most of my life unused to such affections."
He grimaced as he rubbed his tender neck. "Well, get used to it. Normal people don't go around choking people out when they kiss them."
"You're right. The kiss was pleasant. Perhaps we can try again." She climbed on top of him and pinned him back against the wall, but gently this time. Gamora leaned forward and stopped just before their lips met.
Peter cradled the back of her head and slowly nudged her face toward his own until their lips met. His mouth covered hers, massaging and toying with her lips. His hands explored her back through her tank top, gradually dropping lower and lower until they reached her perfect ass. Peter spread Gamora's ass cheeks and squeezed, eliciting a moan from her mouth into his. She could feel his hardness stiffening under her leg as their tongues swirled, entwined in passion.
Grabbing the bottom of her thighs, he lifted her into the air and flipped her around. She landed on the bed, and he dove on top of her as the bedsprings creaked and groaned under their combined weight. As they kissed, Gamora wrapped her legs around his back, and Peter slid his fingers through her black and red hair.
Without breaking their kiss, he being undoing the straps on her black top. She reached into his pants and took hold of his manhood, slowly stroking his growing shaft. Peter slid her top down her arms, then lifted his arms, allowing her to lift his shirt over his head. He bent over and began kissing her shapely breasts, gnawing at her tender flesh. He sucked at her firm nipples, which were stiff with arousal.
