Smouldering Skies

(Hi all, Withness again. Sorry for the long wait. I do have a plot line in mind for this branch and I fully intend and am determined to see it through. As always, thanks for your patience with me and I hope you enjoy this entry. Any feedback is appreciated. Feel free to drop a comment or message me if you're shy for some reason lol.)

Meeting Cinder's pissed off, amber gaze, the only things to say that came to mind were 'this isn't what it looks like' and 'I know what this looks like' along with 'I can explain.'

But what were the odds of any of that working out for me? Unless...

"I can explain." I state quickly. My shifting around and the voices are causing Neo to stir awake. Unfortunately, her waking up causes her to inadvertently grind against me, pressing all her warm, soft, feminine curves against my own naked body. Which means I'm responding appropriately and my eager friend is rising to the stimulation. Talking faster now to try and distract from some very inconvenient morning wood, I offer, "Neo helped me pack and we got everything ready, then we..." I trailed off, looking at the naked girl tangled up with me and realize that explaining only makes me sound more insane. How would telling people about my powers affect my 'mission' here? Throwing in the metaphorical towel and hoping my evisceration will only be verbal, I admit, "OK, maybe I can't explain it."

Still wearing her irritated expression, Cinder straightens up and the vicious glow of heat in her hand fades away. "Save it." she says with a sigh and toss of her hair which makes her look so badass and powerful that my little friend continues to grow. "The transport is loading right now and half of our team is asleep and very unprepared for travel."

The transport? Shit, that's right, we're in Haven and are going to Beacon for the Vytal Festival. And Cinder's assessment of the current situation isn't off. Neo and I are in no shape to be seen right now.

Seeing my concern getting worse on my face, Cinder replies, "Waking up now?"

"How long will it take to get to the transport?" I ask, hoping I haven't messed this up already.

"Ten minutes if we hurry." Cinder answers without hesitation.

Looking at the teen that is still yawning and looks ready to fall back asleep, I shake her gently. "Neo, babe, can you get dressed and grab your things in the next five minutes?" Neo blinks sleepily at me, looks at Cinder and Emerald for a moment and then back to me before giving a single nod. "Awesome, we need to hurry. Please get ready." Leaning my head in for a quick peck to her lips, Neo smiles quietly while we untangle ourselves. Neither of us noticed both of our teammates raising their eyebrows at the 'babe' and kiss, but the pair of us manage to get to our feet and I make a frantic scramble to throw on my clothes while Neo is considerably calmer, but just as quick.

Turning on her heel and marching out with Emerald right behind, Cinder calls out, "Two minutes!" over her shoulder as the door shuts.

Both of us are mostly dressed a minute later and I've got my Scroll in my pocket and rucksack slung over my shoulder with everything in it. Neo darts across the common room to her own residence to grab a single case of luggage and a very pink messenger bag satchel. Emerald and Cinder are waiting by the door with their own bags, with Emerald rolling two sets of luggage and a large backpack while Cinder has a single trunk on wheels she's tugging along. Without a word, the brunette and green-haired young woman head out the door to the common room into the hall while Neo and I follow close behind.

Considering my rucksack wasn't full and my hands were free, I decided to try and be a gentleman. Turning to the girl I'd recently lost my virginity to and smiling, I held out a hand and asked, "May I carry your bags for you, my lady?"

Neo grinned and did a walking curtsy while we continued to hurry along and handed off her rolling suitcase. Cinder was laser focused on getting us to the transport before it left without us and had set a near-breakneck pace for the group. Hauling along with my rucksack and Neo's luggage, I decided I still had a hand free and figured it wouldn't hurt to try and make some amends for making the group late. Walking quicker to get next to Emerald, I asked, "Do you want me to carry one of those?"

My dark-skinned teammate glanced at me and kept staring ahead before biting out a quick, "I'm fine."

"I've got a hand free and this is my fault. Let me pack mule for a little."

She must have decided that was enough of a reason for her and held out the nearest piece of luggage for me to take. I took it and the team almost ran through the halls, down stairs, across the quad and to a landing field where the transport was loading. Luck was on our side however and people were still boarding. We were cutting it close though and only a dozen or so people were waiting. We were going to literally be the end of the line and last people in. Cinder, Emerald, Neo and I handed over our luggage to a couple of workers standing nearby and the ladies pulled out their Scrolls to show their IDs to a worker who was checking off a list. Being the last one in, I was glad I'd had the foresight to put my Scroll in my pocket, but tapping around in it, I couldn't find any ticket or ID to show. Fortunately, after a minute of me helplessly looking through the device, Emerald reached out with one hand and I gave her my Scroll. It took her twenty seconds to pull up my info and hand it over to the worker. A quick glance and nod from the worker and we were marching up the gangplank to the passenger section. The transport was huge, several times the size of a double-decker bus and with a vague design like someone crossed a Boeing jet with a zeppelin and injected stealth fighter into it.

Inside, it was oddly...mundane. Filled with rows of seats and windows dotting the walls, this was definitely a passenger transport. The interior was basically a wide plane. Oh well, not everything in the world could be an adventure, right? Our team took their seats and I noted that Neo made sure to maneuver herself to sit next to me. I had barely gotten settled before she was snuggled up to me and laying her head on my shoulder, sighing softly and closing her eyes, she looked ready to resume the post-coital nap we were woken from.

I was right, because she held up her Scroll to my face and there was a message on it, 'Going to catch a few winks. Wake me when we get there.'

Giving her a kiss to the top of her head that made her soft smile widen and her snuggle even closer, making me blush with her closeness, I answered, "Sure thing, Neo. Have a good nap."

She was soon asleep and I was doing my best to explore and personalize my Scroll without moving too much and waking her. During that time, the transport hummed and buzzed as doors closed and sealed, people buckled in and I felt the definite sensation of motion as it rose into the air. Before long, we were on our way to Beacon.

It took half an hour, but after playing with my Scroll I found the section where my ID information was played with the camera app and familiarized myself with the internet application too. I even did a few experimental wallpaper and lock screen changes with pictures of the floor and my shoes to make sure I had it right.

Neo shifted in her sleep and adjusted her head against my shoulder, brushing her hair against my cheek in the process. I'd had zero romantic or sexual experience with women in my previous world, so having a gorgeous, adorable and deadly woman being so unconsciously affectionate with me sparked a rising heat in my cheeks and a tightening in my pants.

My Scroll made a 'ping' noise and I looked down to see I had a message. I gave my Scroll a confused look. Who the hell could be messaging me? A snap of fingers right by my ear made me turn my head to see Emerald and Cinder staring at me, the former having snapped her fingers and pointed to our mutual teammate. The later gave me a look and motioned to my Scroll. Checking the messaging app, I saw the sender was 'Cinder'. 'She is not laying her head in your lap for a nap while we're in the air.'

I puzzled over what she meant before another message popped up. 'And you ARE NOT escorting her to the bathroom either.'

Then it clicked and I blushed again as well as getting harder in my slacks, causing me to shift uncomfortably in my seat. Tapping a message back, 'I wasn't even thinking of doing anything in the air.'

Another message, this one from 'Emerald.' I guess we had a group conversation going on. It made sense, thinking about it. Beyond the 'ping' of our messages, we made no other sound that could be heard beyond the general chatter of our fellow passengers. I'd have to look into muting my Scroll's notifications though, that could be distracting or a disaster in a stealth situation. 'Sure you weren't.'

'Look, I know I messed up, I'm sorry. I won't let it happen again.' I messaged.

'I don't care about you two fucking. We were almost late! If we missed this transport, I'm not going to explain why we had to arrive later.' Cinder explained.

'I get it. I'm sorry. We'll keep our hands to ourselves for now.'

Another message, this time from Emerald. 'I don't think Beacon has private rooms like Haven. Good luck on finding places to fool around.'

Right, Team RWBY shares a room, so we would have to as well. Not a big deal in the long run once I've got a good harem going, but it will be a pain until then. Call me shallow, but I'm a teenage boy with sex powers in my favorite cartoon with a bevy of hot chicks around me. I want to be sucked and fucked into oblivion.

Wait a minute....

'You don't care that Neo and I were...?' I asked in the chat.

'No.' Cinder replied. 'You have a permanent wandering eye. And she was the one you seemed closest to. Not that I couldn't feel you staring at my legs daily. It was only a question of who you'd make a move on first.'

Was that a note of jealousy in her message? Before I could respond, Emerald chimed in. 'I knew I should have put money down on it. We could have had a whole pool.'

'Don't encourage him.' Cinder messaged while throwing Emerald a look, who looked suitably chagrined. 'You're co-captain of the team. Try to keep your little encounters with her quiet. If you two start distracting from our mission, you can explain to our benefactor why things are going wrong.'

Again from Emerald. 'Good luck with that.'

'We'll behave.' I messaged.

'You'd better. Team CCEN should stand out at the festival for our skill, not the fact one of the captains is fucking his teammate.' Cinder added.

Huh, so our team is named CCEN. Is that pronounced 'Ken' or like 'Sin'? I hoped the latter.

Having said her piece, Cinder settled back into her seat and closed her eyes, taking a page out of Neo's book and catching up on some sleep. Emerald and I continued to play on our Scrolls. After some time, I reread over our group chat and realized Cinder mentioned we had a patron or boss of some kind and she did not relish the idea of ticking them off. She also mentioned a 'mission.' I pondered that for a few minutes and knowing the general plot of the main story as well as some of her backstory, it wasn't difficult to infer who was our 'boss'. The 'mission' was murkier to me. I know in the show that the original Team CMEN infiltrated Beacon Academy to do something, but I never looked into it. Considering I replaced Mercury, it makes sense the plan was still on, but my involvement and own 'mission' was going to drive things off the rails, at least a little. Then again, my presence and the ladies being turned into teenagers and joining me in a team has already changed things. The main question was how much those changes altered the current story. Oh well, nothing to really do but keep on keeping on. Eventually, I'd have a small army of sluts doing ANYTHING to keep me happy. And if that involved adding more girls to the harem, then at some point I'd have access to more pussy, ass, mouths and tits than I'd know what to do with. Hopefully my new powers or one of the girls I'd eventually acquire would be able to help me with stamina and other issues, or at least soothe chafing.

While the transport flew I had a fairly solid grasp on how my Scroll worked and debated taking a picture of Neo's sleeping face as her contact picture. Or maybe a wallpaper? My perverted mind and hormones were already kicking in and I pondered the naughty things possibly in store. Perhaps in the not-too-distant future, I'd have a pic of Team RWBY, topless and smiling, as my home screen wallpaper. Or maybe all the girls in my harem will eventually have ahegao pictures for their contacts. Maybe I could go full playboy and cycle nudes of the girls as my lock screen wallpaper? The mental image of Salem sending me nudes or really any of the hotties in this world willingly degrading and displaying themselves for my pleasure got another twitch of excitement out of my dick. The thought of making the Schnee ladies pose nude for a group pic or the Belladonna pair of Blake and Kali sending me some images of 'mother-daughter bonding' with them sixty-nining had me good and stiff in a minute.

Taking a few deep breaths to calm down, I looked back at the recent group chat and remembered the hint of jealousy from Cinder. In Control was supposed to make people see me as the leader and make them much less resistant to any advances I make as well as make some people more interested in making themselves seem useful to me or keep themselves on my good side. Did Cinder really see me as her leader along with our 'benefactor'? Given her ambition and drive, it would make sense that she wanted anyone she saw as having some level of power or influence on her side. Maybe she was hoping we would become a thing instead of her and Neo? After all, if the two co-captains of the team were an item, that might be seen as more 'powerful' than one co-captain being in a relationship with his subordinate.

Deciding to take a risk and see what happened, I continued the group chat.

'Any idea how much time we have left?'

Emerald was still awake and gave me a shrug when she saw my message.

Not quite what I was hoping for, so I kept going. Glancing at Cinder, she was awake now. 'I'm going to the bathroom.'

Seeing me gently rousing Neo, Emerald and Cinder exchanged looks. Neo groggily opened her eyes and gave the most adorable yawn ever while stretching.

"Sorry for waking you beautiful, but I need to visit the little hunter's room." I said apologetically.

Neo blinked a few times as she processed my statement and looked around. Standing up with another stretch, she motioned for me to get up as well.

Standing up to join her, I saw Cinder get up and give us both a look. Neo noticed and smirked at me before taking my hand and leading me to the back of the vehicle. Cinder followed close behind and when we reached the restrooms Neo pouted to see they were clearly labeled 'Men' and 'Women'. Looking around the area, she gave me a mischievous look and I felt a type of...pressure? Something about how the air felt changed, but then I saw the space immediately around Neo glow pink and realized what was going on.

'Ah, that's her Semblance then.' I thought to myself.

My co-captain however, was having none of that. "Neo, don't you dare."

Looking back and forth between her two captains, Neo weighed her options and I decided to resolve the issue by stepping forward, slipping my arms around her waist and pulling her close to give her a quick peck on the lips. The contact caused Neo to immediately throw her own arms around my neck and deepen our little kiss to something much steamier and with tongue. At the moment our lips touched, her rising Semblance had vanished. Cinder on the other hand, was telling herself not to use hers at the open display of affection in front of her.

Clenching her fists and even giving a little stomp, she hissed, "For fucks' sake, can you two keep your hands off of each other for two minutes?!"

I know Cinder had a point and we were probably giving our immediate neighbors a show that they didn't need, but having Neo's tongue exploring my own mouth while feeling her curves pressing ever more insistently against me (in addition to her grinding against my fresh erection) made me forget my current situation. Sadly, our impromptu make out session was cut short when I felt the collar of my uniform jacket being pulled back and breaking my embrace with my Ice Cream Queen.

"I swear to the gods I will grab a pitcher of ice water and dump it on you two!" Cinder said. Seeing that we were paying attention to her now, she added, "Did you two need to use the restroom?"

Rolling her eyes, Neo typed out a message on her Scroll and I managed to step away from Cinder's grip to slip in the Men's room. Later, Neo would tell me the message she'd showed Cinder when they both entered the bathroom.

'Cockblock.'

Cinder just growled.

She didn't let that little dig stop her though and followed Neo into the Ladies Room to make sure she wasn't up to no good.

"Why are you so into him?" the brunette asked as Neo washed her hands.

Typing out another message, Neo showed her the Scroll. 'If I didn't know better, I'd swear you were jealous. Worried I got to him first?"

Cinder looked pissed, but the rising flush to her cheeks was impossible for the Ice Cream Queen to miss. 'You are.'

"I don't care about what you do or with whom you do it, as long as it doesn't interfere with our overall goal."

'We'll play nice. But wouldn't our new arrangement be a good thing?' Neo offered.

For once, Cinder had a look of confusion flit across her features. "And how do you figure that?"

Neo smirked widely and showed another message. 'With us keeping ourselves occupied, there's less chance we're going to cause more problems.'

"So because you can't keep your legs closed and he can't keep it in his pants, that's a good thing?!" Cinder asked incredulously.

Neo shrugged. 'Well, we need to sleep and eat after all. We won't be fucking ALL the time.' With a cheeky smile, Neo added, 'Just most of the time.'

Stepping up to her smug shortstack, Cinder towered over her, but Neo simply looked up at her with a gentle smile. "Neo, I'm going to repeat myself to you for the first and last time. Don't get in my way."

Neo showed her Scroll with one more message. 'You're so tightly wound. Maybe get Coyote to help you out. I don't mind sharing. Really. And to answer your question I think he's hot, he's sweet and he fucks me just right.'

The taller brunette's features showed surprise before settling back into irritation. "You're joking."

'I came three times. I think I blacked out somewhere in there.' With Cinder simultaneously blushing and looking pissed, Neo added one more thing. 'And I think he was just warming up. I'm looking forward to A LOT more orgasms very soon.' Turning on her heel, Neo stepped out of the restroom to leave a growling, blushing Cinder behind.

"That...little...SLUT!" Cinder yelled, stomping her foot. After taking some deep breaths and composing herself, she stepped out to find Neo and myself with our arms around each other and smiling. The fact we had an audience of multiple passengers watching us nuzzling and didn't seem like we noticed only angered Cinder more. The other passengers watched us with a range of reactions. Some were pointedly ignoring us, others looked irritated, but most seemed amused more than anything. A pair of students being a couple wasn't anything new. But us acting as affectionate as we were was certainly making it clear how into each other Neo and I were.

"Let's get back to our seats." Cinder almost snarled as she stalked by us.

Neo read my confused and worried expression and smiled sweetly as she tapped out a message. 'She's jealous.'

I had to clarify with her. "Of us or...?"

'I think both of us.'

"Why?" Rethinking my question and how it could possibly be taken wrong by my new...girlfriend....lover....fuckbuddy? I decided to elaborate. "Why would she be jealous of you and I? Do you think she'd rather be in a relationship and us be single?"

Neo rolled here eyes and replied, 'You're lucky you're cute. I think she was hoping our two 'co-captains' would get together. I think she's had a thing for you since the team started.'

"Really?" I have to admit that the message thread we had earlier had a hint of emotional tension to it, but I didn't think the ladies would be into me this easily. Then again, considering how In Control was supposed to make it so some people wanted to prove themselves useful to me and get on my good side, maybe Cinder was being affected by that aspect of it? Considering how easily Neo jumped into the sack with me, it might not be as surprising as I thought.

Another snap of fingers right by my face shocked me out of my musings. Seeing she had my attention, Neo held up her Scroll, 'Maybe you should help her unwind.'

Despite my perverted mind, the dots weren't connecting. "How? Talk to her?"

Following another eye roll, another message from her. 'I think you could get her off our backs, by getting her onto her own.' At my wondering expression, Neo tapped out, 'Have sex with her and I think she'll lighten up on our relationship.'

Arms still around her, I gave Neo a befuddled look, holding her a little closer and giving her a peck on her cheek. "Seriously? I kind of thought your 'sharing' line was an after-sex impulse thing."

'I wasn't kidding. I don't mind sharing you. It's kind of hot actually. As long as you keep giving me action I'm fine with us including other girls.' Neo punctuated her statement with her arms draped over my shoulders and a deliberate grind of her body against mine, providing some welcome and distracting stimulation to my semi-stiffy.

Smiling, I leaned in to give her a full kiss with a little tongue that she fully participated in. Both of us were breathing more heavily when we parted and one of the other passengers even commented, "Get a room you two."

Neo gave the commenter a sweet smile and took my arm as she led me back to our seats. Returning to where Cinder and Emerald were showed the latter dozing off and the former glaring at the back of the seat in front of her. Giving Neo a questioning look that she responded to with a wink, she took her seat while I stayed standing and leaned in to whisper to my co-leader. "Cinder, could we talk?" Glancing at Neo and Emerald, I added, "Privately?"

With a huff, the amber-eyed beauty stood up and growled "Fine." before standing with her arms crossed and waiting for me to lead us off somewhere. Deciding that returning to the scene of Neo and my make out session was probably a bad idea, I moved in the opposite direction and led us to a door that said 'Vending Machines' near the back of the vehicle. Still amazed at the size and similarly mundane setting of this world, I let us in and was thankful it was open. Holding the door open for Cinder to enter first (momma tried to raise a gentleman), I stepped in after her and locked the door.

The pair of us stared at each other wordlessly as I considered what the hell I was doing. Neo had basically given me the green light to seduce our team leader and while I had some confidence my powers from the Screen would significantly help, I was still nervous. I'd only lost my virginity a few hours ago and I was already trying to bang another chick. I know my 'mission' was a hundred women, but I hoped both my social skills and dick were capable of handling it. At least my little soldier was looking forward to the prospect of more sex, already starting to tent my slacks a little. To be honest, I wasn't sure if that was due to my teenage hormones or whether I'd also been 'enhanced' by The Screen in the same vein as my new, fitter body.

Anyway...

Deciding that starting gentle and flirty worked for Neo and I could always adjust my approach if Cinder wasn't receptive, I began with, "Look, I know I screwed up and again, I'm sorry. I'll make a sincere effort not to endanger the team or our plans like that again. You're an amazing leader and I'm grateful that you believe I'm competent enough to help."

Cinder was still giving me a look that could tarnish brass, but the set of her shoulders was losing some tension and I got the sense she'd calmed down a notch. I decided to grease the wheels a little more and see what her response would be.

"I mean, the amazing thing, by the way, Cinder, is you. You're a badass, intelligent and I know that the entire team trusts you to get us out of tight spots as well as lead us to success." Cinder had stayed quiet, but her body language said she was listening and interested in more. "Not to mention you're very easy on the eyes."

Her eyebrows almost shot up to her hairline with my last statement and she finally broke her silence. "Do you really think your girlfriend would like it if she heard you were flirting with me?"

She was rising to the bait at least. "Neo doesn't sharing me. You said yourself I have a 'permanent wandering eye' after all. And there's no doubt my eyes love to wander over you."

Cinder's eyes narrowed, but her fair complexion was pink. "What kind of 'thing' do you two have anyway?"

"I think she's nice. She's pleasant to be around, she's also a badass and gorgeous to boot."

"But she doesn't mind sharing?" Cinder sounded dubious.

"No, she doesn't. It was actually her idea." I figured her guard was down enough that I could approach her without my face being scorched off the front of my skull. Taking a few steps closer until she was just in arms length, I kept going with my spiel. "Cinder, do you think it would be out of line for us to go on a date later?"

"Really? You and I?" she indicated the two of us with one hand.

"Sure. We could grab a bite to eat, take a walk around Beacon and familiarize ourselves with the area." Thinking of how professional and goal-oriented she was, I tried another angle. "Think of it as reconnaissance. We'll get the locals to see us as just another pair of students out and about. The more others see us doing boring, teenager stuff, the less noticeable we are. While we're taking in the sights, we'll really be scouting out points of interest, escape routes, bottlenecks and blind spots. If we want to do this right, then knowing our surroundings would be an invaluable bit of intel, right?"

Framing it as mission related had Cinder wearing a thoughtful expression. "You're not wrong."

"And just to make us extra inconspicuous, we'll be affectionate."

That broke her out of her thoughts and had her look at me with confusion. "Affectionate?"

"Sure." I said, trying to pass it off as nonchalantly as possible. "A pair of students walking around town? Not worth a lot of attention. A pair of teenager out on a date and having a good time? Even less noticeable. Anyone who sees us will think we're more wrapped up in each other than our surroundings and that will make people drop their guard that much more."

"That's...actually not a bad idea." she conceded, her voice quieter than I would have expected.

Time to press my luck. "Well, why don't we try it out?"

My companion looked around the room we had found ourselves in. It was more of a nook just big enough for four vending machines and as many people to stand up while munching their snacks and drinking whatever beverage they had chosen. "Here? Now?"

I shrugged. "Why not? We've got some time to kill and it's not like anybody's watching. We can see how we play a couple and what parts we need to improve on or what our strengths are."

Again, she looked less than convinced, but gave a slight shrug and answered, "Sure, why not?"

"Awesome." Wondering how to proceed form here, I decided to draw on my performance choir experience and indicated the vending machines. "Let's get some snacks." Seeing Cinder's expression, I elaborated. "We'll pretend that we're already a couple and you're getting something to munch on or drink. Think of it this way, if we're trying to blend in as an item, we're going to be doing a lot of boring, mundane stuff and us being in close proximity and comfortable with each other is normal."

Watching the gears turn in her head, I dug out my Scroll and handed it to her. "Here, babe, could you grab us something to drink? I'll pay for it."

Accepting it after a moment of silence, Cinder answered, "Sure...babe....I'll...grab something."

As she stepped up to the vending machine, I repeated the move I'd used with Neo and stepped up behind her. Thinking twice about touching her unprompted, I made sure to say, "Right behind you."

Cinder tilting her head slightly was the only indication she'd heard me, but when I began to press my front to her back, she stiffened. Doing my best to remain calm and casual about the 'scene' we were in, I nuzzled the side of her neck and wrapped my arms around her waist affectionately. The first thing I noted was that Cinder was definitely taller than me. I was often the 'little one' in groups of guys and stood eye-to-eye with most women, so it was a small (but pleasant) surprise that I was less nuzzling her neck and more nuzzling the part where her neck and shoulder met. And she was only in the standard-issue Mary-Jane shoes of Haven Academy. In her usual heels she'd tower over me. The thought only inflamed my attraction to her. I did have to lean to the side and look around her shoulder though to carry out the next part of my plan. "What's on tap, babe?"

Unnoticed to me, Cinder was starting to breathe heavily and she was feeling embarrassingly moist between her thighs. She was also thankful for the uniform jacket she had on, because she wasn't wearing a bra today and she knew her nipples were poking through the uniform blouse right now. Snapping out of her lust haze, Cinder tried to get back 'in character'. "Uh, there's some uh, fuck." she ended up muttering under her breath.

"There's a drink called 'Fuck'?" I knew she was only reacting to my presence, but some teasing might earn me brownie points. I was at least hoping my co-captain wouldn't roundhouse me in the head or use her weapon to castrate me. I also hoped my powers would keep this as streamlined as possible. After all this is how I'd gotten Neo to spread her legs.

Giving a soft scoff, Cinder replied with a slight tremble in her voice. "There's hot and cold drinks, energy drinks and water, which one do you want?" She glanced over her shoulder at me and saw my smirk and me open my mouth. Before I could keep teasing her, she cut me off with "There's no drink named 'Fuck' on he~re." The last part was mentioned when I ran my hands over her stomach and up and down her sides, giving her the lightest of touches.

"No? Pity." Smirking again, I added, "Maybe we could make some of our own?"

Cinder let out a sound that was half moan and half growl.

Now is the point I picked up on my powers actually working on the sizzling bombshell villain, so the time was ripe to push this further. Pulling her back into me at the same time as I moved forwards, I was soon pressing my rising boner against her shapely backside. The feeling of my meat hotdogging her toned cheeks must have short-circuited her mind, because she was reduced to an adorably flustered mess for several seconds. "Ab-ah-w-w-drinks! There's drinks! Paying!" Reaching out and punching selections in, Cinder tapped my Scroll against the vending machine near the keypad and there was a chirping sound as the payment was accepted and our drinks popped out. The taller brunette bent at the waist to retrieve them, but I kept my hands on her hips and my arousal pressed to her ass, trying to keep my expression as innocent as possible.

Straightening up, Cinder handed me a can and popped her own open to take a long swig. Looking back at me with a raised eyebrow, she also took the opportunity to take a step away and turn to face me when I had to use both hands to open my own libation. "You know, I think your wandering eye is stronger than I gave you credit for."

Smiling at her, I asked, "Breaking character already?"

She didn't reply to that and took another drink. "Why?"

"Why what?"

"Why are you hitting on me? Why try to take me on a date?"

I had to admit her line of questioning had a cold knot sit in my stomach, but I marshaled on, praying whatever I blurted out would cover up any blunders I made. "Because I genuinely do think you're highly competent, combat capable, determined, intelligent and beautiful. You're a leader for reason, Cinder. You have no problem taking names and kicking ass when you need to be direct, but you can fly under the radar and take people completely by surprise when that's the best course of action as well." She continued to watch me neutrally, so I kept going. I'd always heard the best lies were sown in the seed bed of truth, which meant that being honest to guide a conversation to a duplicitous end was a valid tactic. "I'm picky about who I work for and with. Bad judgement in who one follows usually causes far more grief than necessary in my experience. Pick a bad leader and you often get dragged down with them. You're scary at times and tough always, but I'd never call you a bad leader. I like you, Cinder, and even though the date would be a subterfuge for us doing reconnaissance, I am attracted to your character, personality and looks. I like Neo, but I like you too."

Cinder gave me a long, steady look and I was worried the jig was up, but she drained her can and tossed it into a receptacle while handing me back my Scroll. "At least you're honest. OK, Coyote, you've got yourself a date." After I'd taken back my device, she took a deep breath and said, "Don't make me regret this."

I smiled at her, "I won't. You have my word."

She gave a single nod and started to move towards the door when I took her hand as gently as possible and asked, "Wait. Don't you want to, well, make it official?"

Giving me a bewildered look, she asked, "Official?"

Mentally noting she hadn't broken my arm yet for stalling her, I pulled her closer to me until we were fully pressed front to front and slipped my arms around her waist again. She kept her hands at her sides, but she didn't lean back to create space, simply staring dead into my eyes like I was doing to her. "Sure, I don't think our scene was done yet. We'll just skip to the end when we say goodnight."

For the first time since I'd been dropped into this whole situation, a smile cracked Cinder's face and she replied, "Oh, and how did our date go?"

I didn't reply verbally and leaned forward to press our lips together. Cinder took a sharp intake of breath that turned into a muffled moan and her entire body felt like it melted against me. The kiss deepened in seconds and her arms were draped across my shoulders like Neo had been doing a short while ago. Breaking apart, both of us were taking gulps of air and obviously turned on. Not wanting to give her any time to talk herself out of this, I leaned in for another kiss and this time when we broke apart from air, I attacked the side of her neck and delicate jawline with a series of light pecks. Another, surprisingly girly, moan came from her and her hands had moved to my shoulders to tighten her grip even as her curves pressed against me. We shared a few more heated kisses before I got a sudden idea.

Taking hold of her shoulders, I spun her around and slid my hands underneath her skirt to take hold of the warm softness of her hips and guide her forward.

"Wh-what are you-uhhh!" Was all Cinder got out in a breathless rush before she had to put up her hands to catch herself against the glass of one of the vending machines. She didn't get any farther when I leaned over her shoulder to capture her hot lips in another kiss and take a little of her breath away.

Flipping up the back of her skirt I was treated to two sights that were cute and arousing. The first was that Cinder was actually wearing a pair of gray, 'cheek hugger' panties. Sexy, but modest, befitting the hottie herself. The second thing was the actual backside those panties were hugging. Neo had a glorious rear, but Cinder certainly was on the same level, if not in lushness, certainly in pert tone and flawless roundness. The word 'divine' popped into my mind even as one of my hands began to undo my fly and the other indulged in a few squeezes on said divine ass.

"Fuck, you're eager, aren't you?" Cinder said from her position against the machine.

I chuckled as I managed to fish out my boner into the open air. "And you're not?" Returning both hands to her hips, I hooked my fingers into the waistline of her panties and yanked them down to her knees. Running one hand briefly between her legs while shuffling forward to line myself up with her slit, I felt the moisture between her legs. "You're already wet."

Cinder let out a little noise and adjusted her stance to set her feet further apart, opening her legs a bit more. "You might have an effect on me."

Running the head of my cock against her moistness, I realized she was completely smooth, not even stubble on her. Thinking back on it, Neo was fastidiously groomed as well. Was feminine hygiene a thing on the team or was there some tech or product the ladies of Remnant used?

Questions for later.

Right now there was a ready and wet pussy literally drooling for my dick. And far be it for me to leave a lady waiting and unsatisfied. Unlike with Neo, I was aware I couldn't really take my time, that would come later. Right now we would both have to make do with a quickie. Silently promising both Cinder and myself that I'd really make her toes curl and prove how into her I was in the near future, I didn't bother with much foreplay beyond a quick caress of her thighs and squeeze of her hips before I pressed against her womanhood and plunged in as far as I could go with the first thrust. I nearly came then and there because she was so tight I got most of the way in before her wet, velvet pussy had clamped down on me.

"Uuuhhhnnn, FUCK!" Cinder shouted, arching up on her toes for a moment. If I was in my right mind, I'd be worried about our fellow passengers hearing us, but pussy was calling and I aimed to answer her right.

Taking hardly a second to pull back and regain some focus, I held her by the waist and pushed in even harder than before, getting a wordless sound of pleasure out of my co-captain. Repeating the motion a handful of times, I managed to get truly balls-deep in my deadly and sexy leader and set a breakneck pace for our joining. The vending nook got loud with the sounds of our colliding bodies echoing off the walls and a distant part of my mind hoped the door was soundproof.

"Unnng, Fuck, YES! Fuck me. Fuck me!" Cinder began to snarl-moan, encouraging our frenzied fucking. The tall beauty's arms had tensed up to hold her steady before, but she stopped trying to hold herself and was pressed up against the glass of the machine, her clothed chest flattening and adding more stimulation to her body that heightened the repeated feeling of my dick plowing in and out of her.

With my hips clapping against her peerless ass and her pleasured grunting, I decided to look up and saw something that had me ready to bust. Cinder had the side of her face pressed to the front of the machine, the whites of her eyes showing and her tongue partially hanging out of her mouth while her chest rubbed against the glass as well. She'd stopped holding herself braced against the machine and now looked like she was trying to hug it. All in all, she looked like a slut getting blissfully fucked.

She looked like MY slut.

Feeling a surge of power and energy to match my rising masculine pride, I also felt an aggression I'd only fantasized about having. Holding onto her slim waist possessively I grunted out, "You're my fucking slut. You're MINE!" Increasing my pace to the point I might have been worried I was going to hurt her if I wasn't trying to fuck her through the wall behind the machine, I still kept going. "Fucking My slut! Yes! I'm gonna fuck you all the time!"

I needn't have worried, Cinder was tougher than she looked and going by her eyes rolling back in her head and her starting to push back against my thrusts, she was enjoying herself as well. Her wet cunt squeezed down on me like she was trying to milk me dry and the surge of energy and power rose a notch. By now Cinder was up on the tips of her Mary Jane shoes and the **** of us going at it was making the machine tap against the back wall.

'Clnk, clnk, clunk, kik' went the machine, rocking on it's feet as my partner's started to rise off the floor every other thrust. Holy fuck, I felt like I could go for hours with how tight and well lubricated she was. My muscles weren't even getting tired. But my balls told me I was reaching my peak. Feeling the familiar pressure, I snarled to rival Cinder and went all out for the last few seconds. "Gonna...CUMMM!" I managed before I proceeded to nut in my scary companion mid-thrust.

The feeling of my load painting her walls must have set Cinder off, because she grunted out a loud "UUGGGLLHHHKK!" and went rigid for seconds before her thighs started to shake. She got so tight around my cock that I knew I wouldn't have been able to pull out if I wanted to. And I definitely didn't want to right now.

Three, four, five ropes shot into Cinder and what must have been a minute passed before we both regained some presence of mind. With her toned legs still trembling, I slowly pulled out, letting a few small beads of pearly jizz begin to peek out of her. "I think-" gasp "-the date-" huff "-went well." I felt like I'd just sprinted a mile, but less than a minute ago I'd felt like I could go all out for hours, what gives?

Cinder didn't respond, she just pushed herself into a semi-standing position with one hand while blindly reaching down with her other until she found her underwear and awkwardly pulled them back up. After gathering some breath, we heard knocking on the door and the knob rattling.

Fixing her hair and letting her pleated, gray skirt fall back into place, Cinder gave me a look and I proceeded to hold an arm out in a gentlemanly offer to support her. She accepted and we opened the door to let a handful of other students standing at the door access the room. We stared at our sudden audience and they returned the favor. Our respective sides stared at each other for several long seconds until a blue-haired, good-looking guy broke the awkward silence.

"Everything, uh, ok in there?"

I was able to answer since Cinder seemed to still be getting her wits about her. "Sure, we were just, um, having some...technical...difficulties." The other students gave us looks of varying skepticism, but none of them said anything. "The machines work great though. Really solid construction!" Keeping Cinder's arm looped through my own, we started to make our way back to our seats, the crowd parting before us. "Carry on."

"Sure." the blue-haired guy replied as he watched me lead away a still unsteady Cinder.

"Whatever, now I can finally get a drink." a fellow student with messy blonde hair said as he stepped inside the room.

A petite, brunette girl followed him in and blue-hair immediately heard her exclaim, "Whew! Why does it smell like fish in here?!"

Blue hair turned and followed them into the room.

Back at our seats, Cinder and I parted and took our seats. She was able to collapse into her cushioned spot and the motion made Emerald stir from her nap. "Huh, are we-yawn- there?" she asked groggily.

In a low tone, Cinder replied, "We've still got a few hours. Get some rest." And taking her own advice, the co-leader of 'Team CCEN' closed her eyes and proceeded to try and get some sleep herself. Shrugging, Emerald leaned back into her own cushioned seat and was soon back to snoozing away.

Giving me a knowing look, Neo smiled and held up her Scroll. 'You two were gone for a while. Everything ok?'

Not wanting to disturb our teammates, I opened the messaging app on my Scroll and sent a private text to my Ice Cream Queen. 'I took your advice and helped Cinder unwind.'

She grinned and replied back, 'You do move fast. How was she?'

Leaning over to give her a kiss on the cheek, I texted back, 'It was just a quick conversation, but I think we've got the beginnings of an understanding going.'

'I'm sure you understood her brains out.'

'That's for later. And she won't be the only one. I could really see this as being a regular thing.'

'Going to have Emerald next lol"

'I was talking about you'

'Haven't forgotten about me?' Neo punctuated her latest message by batting her eyes cutely at me.

'I'm going to make sure that understanding your brains out is going to be a top priority for me. What kind of man would I be if I didn't take care of my girlfriend's needs?'

Actually blushing, Neo looked pleased and sent, 'You sweet talker you. I'm holding you to it.'

'I definitely will be happy when you do. I'm sure we'll be holding each other a lot from now on.'

Her blush only deepened as she sent a reply, 'Shut up before I drag you off again so we can have our own conversation.'

'Let's wait until we get to our room in Beacon. I do want to get Emerald in on our...thing before we start getting too open.'

'Deal. But once we're all ready...' Neo gave me a sultry look and repeated her 'tooth brushing' motion from earlier in my room. 'I'll be open a lot. I mean my legs of course. And I won't be the only one.'

I replied with leaning in and giving her a deep and affectionate kiss. But no tongue, not right now. I felt her breath catch when our lips met and she looked very warm when the kiss ended. Neo was right, if we both kept this up, we might end up going at it right here in our seats. 'Flirt'

'I wonder who keeps encouraging me?' she sent back after she read my message.

'Whoever they are, I'm sure they'll be happy to leave you quivering and breathless at their earliest opportunity once we set down.'

'That's going to take a lot of will power to behave right now.' she pouted at me, but it quickly turned into a pleasant look. 'But we do have a long flight and you do look a tired.'

'Nap time?'

'Nap time'

Putting down our devices, we leaned into each other, Neo on my shoulder and I giving her a soft kiss to the top of her pink and brown hair before laying my own head on top of hers. It only took minutes before we were the picture of a young couple peacefully snoozing away.

This was going to be a fun trip.
