Prologue:
A Fun and Uncorrected Mistake
Inspired by the new Bioware MMO set in the Star Wars universe. I own none of the characters, obviously.
Sulmad walked, okay, staggered out of Yael's tent. The coat over the ragged remnants of his shirt gave him an almost civilized appearance. The fuck session with the Cathar refugee had left the smuggler drained, both literally and figuratively. He was distracted enough that he almost didn't notice the pretty blonde who was moving to intercept him. A hand fell automatically to the butt of his blaster and his movements grew smooth as instinct overrode exhaustion.
"May I speak to you in private?" She asked, her accent was distinctly upper class and her distaste for the shabby smuggler was evident in both tone and body language.
"About what?" He asked, surreptitiously checking for movement around them. The refugee camp was fairly quiet, it was late and no one wanted to interrupt the fiery Cathar's fun, especially not when she'd just got them the medicine they so desperately needed.
"Business." She sniffed. "What else would I want to talk to you about?"
"I wonder that myself, seeing as how refugee camps are not famous for their balls, or wealth. What business could you have that would interest me?" Sulmad snapped.
"I will not discuss this in public." She replied, crossing her arms over an ample chest.
"If you stab me in the back, I'll shoot you in the face. Understand?"
"Very well." She said, every word managing to drip with the distaste she felt for him.
"Lead the way. I don't trust you at my back." He said, returning her subtext to her as text.
She spun on her heel, skirts swirling around her feet as she walked away. A less genteel woman might have stomped, she swayed, her ass twitching under the fabric of her skirt, drawing the unwary eye. Sulmad let one eye be drawn as the other watched for ambushes.
Though her looser clothing concealed more of her form than most of the women he interacted with, it was still obvious that under the rags there was a woman with a body built to fuck. Full lips that anyone (of the right orientation) would be pleased to see wrapped around his cock; large breasts that he wanted to feel on his chest, or maybe press against the ground as he fucked her roughly from behind in the dirt; blonde hair pulled back tight in a high braid, just begging to be released, or perhaps used as a handle to really dig into the tight ass she was tempting him with...
She opened the door to her hut and waved him through. He waved right back at her and followed her in, letting the door close behind him, he kicked it, making sure it latched. His eyes raked the hut. A folding table and chair filled a third of it and a bare mattress filled another third, leaving little space for them to fill, as he refused her polite offer of the use of her chair, or any of the minor amenities she had.
"Let's get down to business, shall we. If I wanted to socialize with you, I'd have come up to you, not the other way around." Acid dripped from his tongue.
"Very well. I require the return of a necklace."
"You're living in a hut and you want a necklace? If it's worth enough to get you out of here, why wouldn't I just sell it myself?" Sulmad countered. "I don't go into things blind. Fucks with my aim."
"I am the Lady Alma."
He just stared, though his mind was racing. Sulmad had his problems with nobility, if wanting to drown them all in a lake counted as a problem, but he was hardly in a position to turn down work, not with no ship and nothing but the partially shredded clothes on his back to his name.
"Dewaran nobility. The necklace is an heirloom, of no interest to anyone off Dewara, but important to us. I left it behind when I fled the village ahead of the separatists and so--"
"Fascinating. What does that have to do with me, princess?"
"I am not a princess, just a ladyβ"
"Since you apparently missed the sarcasm in the 'fascinating' let me clarify. I don't care anymore. Why are you telling me this? You don't have any money, obviously, and I don't take IOUs." Sulmad snapped.
"Indeed and I was concerned, until I discovered your arrangement with Yael." Alma said, as if that explained anything.
