Page 54 of A Long Way Home

Slowly, he removes his hand; obscene slurping echoes in the small space as he pulls each finger free. His handsome face watches me as I examine his hand, the perfect beads of moisture clinging between his fingers, like dew left on spiderwebs in the early morning.

“You look very beautiful like this.” He says as he admires my spent body.

“Thank you,” I murmur, snuggling my face against him. His chest rumbles with laughter.

“I should be thanking you,mein Herz.”

He kisses my head again, and I feel content for the first time in a long time. Snuggled in his arms, my head rests against his chest. I can feel the lull of sleep pull at me.

A crackle sounds around us.

“Matty? Check in.” Clayton’s baritone voice rings out overloud in our little pocket of sin, hidden behind the boxes and crates stored in Leonardo Module.

“Can this wait?”

“‘Fraid not. There’s been a development.”

Matthias groans, adjusting me against his chest.

“This better be good,” he mutters under his breath before flicking the comms back on. “What is it?”

“We sent out a distress beacon hoping to make contact with Earth.”

“And?”

“We just got a reply.”

“We will be right there.”

“We?”Clayton asks.

“Alex and I.” He smiles down at me as he says my name.

“Copy that.”

Matthias adjusts himself before redressing me. He slides my flight suit back up my legs. Covering myshoulders, he zips me up just enough to cover my breasts but still give himself a nice view.

As he turns to leave, I pull him back. “Do you think they know?”

“That you’re sticky with my cum?” He asks, amused.

I frown at him.

“No, I doubt anyone realises anything. Everyone thinks you’re still asleep, unless Doctor Hadfield told them.”

“Are you worried?” He pauses, “Do you regret…?”

“No regrets. Just a little nervous.” I confess.

He grips my hand tighter, bringing it to his lips for a quick kiss.

“We will do it together.”

I can't help the smile that breaks out across my face.

I stop, pulling his arm back. “There’s one thing I need before we meet the others.”

“Anything,mein Herz.”
