Flirt back? I... how do i do that? (corrupt choice)

It felt... good... and... i was nervous? Butterflies in my stomach. I couldn't remember ever feeling like this before.

Vera was... just a target, right? A member of a suspicious cult. Someone who was in my life for the briefest moment. A few weeks and then be gone. But it felt nice to have her attention, to be wanted.

My brain was a mess.. I... I need to focus.

I'm on a job. I need to gather intelligence and earn peoples trust. It's okay to flirt back if that helps me. Right?

Veras voice broke me out of my jumbled thoughts.

"You okay? You froze there for a moment. Was I too touchy, I didn't..."

I interrupted her

"No, no, it was... sorry.. I... I'm not..." I struggled for words

"Gay?" She asked

"No... Yes... I mean..." I paused for a moment "I don't know."

I looked at her. Vera. She was... she was beautiful. A young human woman, black hair, adorned in soft silks which highlighted her gentle curves. She had a sweet smile, cute little nose, deep brown eyes....

Thinking back to my last undercover mission, I had many girls and boys flirting with me. I think... I think the flirting from the girls felt better. More wanted. More real...

I nodded "I think I am gay.... but I've never had a chance to be with anyone..."

Vera smiled. I felt safe with her. She gently took my hands, holding them tenderly. The card game had paused. One of the other players had left to get a snack.

Vera spoke softly "Have you kissed anyone? Really kissed them?"

I blushed, and shook my head.

"Well then. I offer you your first kiss. Just a kiss. If you don't like it we can still be friends. And if you do like it.... come find me tomorrow at the bar... and I can give you more..."

She bit her lips, gazing at me with passion in her eyes.

It was hard to speak, so just nodded, and shuffled closer.

She leaned in, and her hands wrapped around my body, one around my back, the other gently cupping my head. Her lips slowly moved closer to mine. Her breathe smelled of cherries. My heart leaped in my chest as her lips brushed against mine. I closed my eyes and savoured the sweet touch. She held me gently, but possessively. She wanted me. I wanted her.

It was a long moment of bliss, and then she gently pulled away, and I opened by eyes. God she looked sexy.

"How was that?" She asked.

"I... yes.... it was... beautiful" I stammered. "Fuck I..."

She giggled sweetly "He he. Awww. It was a pleasure. One I hope I can get much more of in the future"

Her hand brushed my thigh softly, and we sat in silence until the other card player returned.

For the rest of the game we sat closer, and her hand stayed on my thigh, gently stroking my skin through my leggings.

Another hour passed, and there was an announcement throughout the ship speakers. We were nearing Bogano.
