Graham walked into the station, heading off to grab some beers with the men. Though that part was true, it was also a cover to meet up with one of the three IA watchers that had been placed on the station. He thought it was a bit cheesy and also overdone, having watchers pose as dancers. But he couldn't fault the level of intel they gained over the past months, as many people tended to become loose lipped around pretty faces.
There was also another reason why he was meeting with his contact, and that was because she had something for him. Though he wasn't one to shy away from a gift, he was curious as to what it was. It wasn't like his life or file was an open book, as it was sealed, along with many other deep cover IA operatives. She had insisted that it was something he was looking for, so he thought he'd roll with it.
He walked into a coffee shop nearby, which advertised blends for all species, and Graham figured he could use a coffee. He got into line and ordered himself a black Brazilian roast, medium sweet. The man also ordered himself a chocolate chip cookie and was surprised at the quality of it when he bit into the confection. They almost reminded him of the way his mother used to make cookies.
He then took a seat at a nearby table, happily munching on his cookie and enjoying his coffee, when he spied his contact. Lucy knew that the meeting would always have to be random, so as to avoid detection or watchful eyes. A signal beep sounded in her temple implant, indicating that she was near Graham. The moment her eyes settled on him, she knew to walk over.
Lucy kept it casual, making it appear as though she was there for a cup of java. She was dressed modestly, looking every inch like a courier, and even had a large bag slung over her shoulder, bulging with packages. Lucy made her order, and after finding her beverage to her liking, headed over in Graham's direction. She craned her head around, as though looking for a place to sit, before looking directly at Graham. She approached with a sheepish smile on her face.
"Do you mind? Everyone else seems full up," she asked sweetly.
"Not at all! Please sit!" he told her.
"Thank you! I also believe that I have something for you!" she stated.
"For me?" he questioned.
"Yes! I am a courier and I believe you ordered something! The company tasked me with delivering it, but you know how military protocol is with delivering things," Lucy told him.
"What do you have for me?" he queried.
"First, I will need to verify your identity. If you will stand still, please?" she asked him while whipping out a small portable scanner. She took a scan of his face and the machine beeped in recognition, identifying him as Lt. Commander Graham Williams.
"Identity verified. You know, you're really lucky to have gotten this! Skardonian lace made from Rondathan vine silk? Garments made like that are hard to come by!" she told him.
Graham almost did a double take when she told him that. If what she told him was true, then inside was a set of lingerie that Ana had been wanting for years! The only problem was that Skardonian lace was insanely expensive, especially when it was made from Rondathan vine silk! Though it wasn't traditional Skardonian lace, the hybridization was so in demand that only a certain number was made per galactic year!
"I believe that it's also a shimmer set. Those are insanely rare!" Lucy told him.
Now, Graham almost had a heart attack! Shimmer sets of the lace were unique, in the manner of how the silk had been treated, before it was sold to the Skardonians. The silks were often white when harvested and easily colored. There was a process which was seldom done to the silk, which made it shimmer to reflect light and emulate any color in the spectrum. Such cloth, when it was made available, was often thousands of credits, for just one yard!
"Oh, Ana is going to love this!" Graham chuckled. "Is there anything else for me?"
"Let me check my list, Lt. Commander," she replied, going for a data tablet. She browsed over it a few times before telling him, "Nope. That is all for your deliveries today. Have a good day, sir!"
Graham smiled inwardly and thought about how Lucy was very clever with this drop. He had zero doubts that the information she wanted to deliver to him was inside the lingerie package. He was also flummoxed on how Lucy knew Ana had been wanting a set of this lingerie for a while now. He chalked it up to her being part of the same department and to her job, as only the best operatives were placed here on Veldhern.
He sat there, enjoying his coffee and cookie before he got up to meet the guys for some beers. Though he was tempted to sneak a peek at the lingerie, he didn't want to risk any cookie crumbs or coffee stains on it. He knew that the moment she saw this; she was going to lose her shit. Which in turn also meant a long night of marathon sex for him. Graham grinned to himself as he imagined all the naughty things his wife would do to him while wearing her new outfit.
******************************
Light streamed in through the window to the villa in which Alex, Natalya, Kasumi, Shazza and Korsa were staying. It hit the bed, where Natalya and Kasumi were still snoozing, getting their beauty sleep. Both women had been the primary focus of Alex's attentions the previous night, which left them tired and satiated. Though he had some help from Shazza and Korsa, which left them squealing like virgin schoolgirls before long.
The light finally came at an angle which hit their faces, making them both groan in frustration. Kasumi came awake first, blinking against the sun, before turning over and opening her eyes. It had been a few days since they began their impromptu vacation, and every day had been nothing short of pure bliss. Kasumi smiled as she sat up and yawned cutely before stretching her arms over her head.
She looked down and saw that Natalya was stirring, and the redhead smiled. Last night would be making her smile for many years to come. It wasn't just Alex, Korsa and Shazza that had given her unimaginable pleasure, but Natalya too. She always knew that Natalya was nympho and last night had all but sealed that opinion in Kasumi's mind. To be fair, she was just as freaky with Natalya, and the memory of the night left her blushing.
She groaned slightly as she stood, more than a little sore from last night's romp. Kasumi felt that a nice hot shower was in order, and padded over to the bathroom quietly. The reddish-brown stone, carved from the natural stone of Veldhern, was beautiful to gaze at. Much of the bathroom had been decorated in it, especially the spacious shower, which was large enough to accommodate all five of them easily.
Kasumi turned the shower on after doing her morning business, letting it build to a good steam before stepping under the hot needle spray. The hot water sluiced across her skin, soothing her sore and throbbing bits nicely. She moaned at the stimulation when she felt a pair of feminine hands on her back. They slid around her, stealing some of her warmth, but not enough to make her complain.
"Good morning, Nats! Sleep well?" Kasumi asked.
"Haven't slept that well in... decades," she replied.
"Really? You've had trouble sleeping over the years?" Kasumi questioned, surprised that she didn't know this about her lover and friend.
"Before meeting Alex and... becoming his girlfriend, I always had trouble sleeping," Natalya said to her.
"Is it because of what happened to... your parents?" Kasumi wondered, turning to face her.
"Yeah. When Korsa took me in, she saw about getting me the help I needed to get past it. I did, mostly, but after a second encounter with that asshole, those nightmares came back," Natalya stated.
"Wait, you ran into him, again? How?" Kasumi queried.
"Later, Kas. I don't want to cloud our vacation with an old memory. I want to enjoy the time we have here, without digging into old wounds," Natalya told her.
