Mike awoke the next morning without an Elf in his arms.
His eyes flickered open, his limbs stretching out atop the mattress as he blindly groped for the warm touch of the person lying next to him. His fingers played across the empty space where Allynna should have been, his conscious mind rising to the fore as he realized she wasn't there. A thread of panic struck, as he wondered for a moment if it had all been just a wonderful dream. He rustled the bedsheets, looking around to confirm that he was, in fact awake.
She had fallen asleep in his arms. The thought alone brought a smile to his face. The sheets where she had lain were pushed aside, the slight indent of her slender form still etched upon the bed. Mike yawned and peered around the room; he realized with a start that the night before had not been mere fantasy.
His lover was at the doorway, bent over at the waist as she fussed with the sealed panelling of the mechanical door. A set of small red and green wires jutted out, pouring forth from the opening like a mess of tangled hair. The dextrous Elf had pulled away the metal shielding and was poking around in the thing's innards.
He wasn't particularly shocked by this development; Aly was always the type to think proactively in a crisis. What
was
surprising was her choice - or rather, lack thereof - in attire.
She was naked from head to toe, her white bodysuit cast aside upon the floor amongst their discarded clothing. Her back was to him, her spine bending and twisting this way and that as she fiddled with the console. Even in a moment like this, she made every errant sway of her hips seem like an elegant ballroom dance. Deciding not to interrupt the impulsive Elf's work, Mike pulled the pillow to one side, adjusting his place on the bed so he could comfortably recline and enjoy her naked beauty.
Her eyes were focused on the task, her face set in an even expression of concentration he'd come to know so well. Her hair trailed down her face, every honey colored strand reflecting like threads of precious gold in the light.
Allynna did not notice him for some time, focused as she was on the panel in front of her. Mike had no idea what had possessed her to make such a brazen move before she had even bothered to pulled on pants, but he was miles away from complaining.
It was only after nearly a minute of silent fiddling that his Elf finally deigned to glance over at him. Her fingers froze, her body tensing as recognition swept across her ageless features. Their eyes met, staring for a long moment.
She became immediately, awkwardly aware of herself, standing up in a rush as her spine straightened to a washboard's flatness. Mike's smile became a wide, toothy grin as he watched his Mool'Gwaith flounder about for her dignity.
"...Good morning, Michael." She said, in as empty a tone of voice as she could manage. Her lips were flat, her face an expressionless mask.
"Good morning." He replied, watching as the Elf squirmed beneath his gaze. When his eyes drifted downwards, Allynna's look followed after. She reached down with her right hand in reflex to hide her chastity, catching herself mid-move, then reluctantly bringing it back to her side. "Doing a bit of snooping, huh?"
Allynna's cheeks reddened at the implication in his tone. "Yes." She said, keeping her expression level as she swiveled like an automaton to face the panel, keeping her flank turned to him so he could see neither her rear nor her crotch. She gestured with a slow, controlled flick of the wrist. "These panels are not military grade. I believe that we can quite easily jerry-rig the door, given time."
"Hence the rush to get to them." He remarked with building amusement.
Allynna stiffened. "I... am uncertain why I did not put on clothes. It seemed like a secondary concern at the time." She paused. "The idea didn't even occur to me. I was focused solely on discovering an escape route."
Mike said nothing, allowing his steady stare and knowing smile to speak for itself. Allynna grew increasingly flustered.
"...Perhaps it is because you are my mate."
A nervous thrill ran up Mike's spine. "And here I just assumed I was a 'sanctimonious ape' to you." Mike said, putting his hands behind his head as he leaned back against the bed.
Her brow lowered. "You are one." She retorted.
Mike laughed, reaching down with his hand to pat the open space on the bed next to him. "C'mere."
Allynna's eyes widened. She took a half-step forward, then hesitated. Her body language spoke to her conflicted wishes. Despite her nakedness, Mike had never seen her so exposed.
"I... perhaps in a moment."
Mike shook his head, chuckling in disappointment. He stretched once more, pushing aside the covers and standing to his feet, letting the warm sunlight heat his bare skin.
Allynna's eyes trailed in unsubtle interest across his bare form. He was erect, as was natural when staring at a naked Aly. Far from feeling bashful, Mike made a point to calmly strut over to the other end of the room, coming to a small side door that led to the adjoining bathroom. He could feel her eyes on him as he walked.
"There a shower in here?" Mike asked, casting a sly glance over his shoulder in Aly's direction. Her blue eyes snapped up to meet his own.
"Yes." She said, her voice quiet and subdued.
"All right." Mike said, "I'm taking a quick rinse, and then let's take a crack at that doorway." He cocked his head to one side, making a show of unsubtly staring at her chest. "You could use one, too." He opened the bathroom door and strode into the cramped room without a second glance.
The water fell in raining pools of heat when Mike turned it on, an Elven masterpiece of engineering whose strong flow was hot from the start. Its curved, silvery nozzle sent wafting wisps of moisture up to fog the air like an eldritch mist. He stepped into the heated flow with a sort of zen-like contentment.
It was only a few seconds before he heard the soft
slap
of bare feet on tiling behind him. He had barely enough time to turn around before Aly had him pushed against the wall, asserting his personal space as she slid into the water with him.
She pressed herself against him, creating a fascinating dichotomy of temperature: her warm body against his front, and the cool shower tiles against his back. Allynna's lips touched his own as she planted a harsh kiss on his face.
She held him there a moment, the impetus of action still hers to claim. She had a dangerous look in her eyes, one so titillating that Mike momentarily forgot about the pleasant sensation of an Elf's nipples rubbing up against his chest.
Seconds passed as Allynna's unexpected offensive petered out. The faintest hint of nervousness could be felt on the Mool'Gwaith's expression; she had no idea where to go from here. Mike laughed, circling her waist with his hands as he pulled her still closer to him.
This seemed to annoy her. Her eyes narrowed, her expression hardening to an Elf's typical coldness. She thought he was making fun of her. The knowledge of that fact prompted Mike to
actually
make fun of her.
"Were you looking to save some water?" He said, giving her his winning smile. "I promise I won't take long."
She rolled her eyes at him. Instead of responding she began to sink downwards. Mike was caught off guard, his hands moving to her shoulders as if to keep her from falling.
"What are you-" He began, but when she got down on both knees and took him in hand the intent became self evident. "...Oh." He said, amazed by her audacity. She kissed the head of his cock, and whatever clever quip Mike had been about to make flew away from his mind.
Her blue eyes were upon his own as she parted her lips and began to lick. The sensation was sudden and shocking, causing Mike to brace against the wall as she began an inconsistent oral worship across the length and scope of his penis. She kissed his base, then licked along the side. Her erratic application of lip and suction became apparent when she tried to turn his cock at an odd angle and suckle on it, like she was chomping on a corn cob.
Her amateurishness was obvious, but the novelty of getting a wet blowjob from Aly was such that Mike still moaned. She licked up his length, and he put a hand atop her head, running his fingers through her waterslick hair as she kissed the tip and ran her tongue around the top.
Steeling herself, the Elf descended, slowly swallowing a portion of his length down her throat as she lifted and lowered her head upon his cock, working her neck into the action. He caught her stealing glances upwards, checking to see if he was responding like she'd intended. He gave her an encouraging smile and she pushed further, her brow furrowing in concentration as she began to struggle with the intake.
Stubborn as always, she redoubled her efforts, forcing herself down his length till she was nearly halfway down the shaft. Mike saw the exact moment that Aly became unable to continue: her eyes widened, and she let out an unintended cough of air as she started to gag.
