Very Carefully

The Outlander carefully considered his words, and pulled out of Shae with a soft grunt. A trickle of his cum leaked down her thigh as she lowered her feet to the floor from the tabletop. He turned to face Lana. "Well, Shae sent a message that she needed to discuss something with me, and you and I both know she wouldn't be calling over something minor. So I thought I'd come and see her straight away, before stopping in to see you."

Lana nodded, her voice still chilling. "Go on."

He explained about the political situation among the Mandalorians and Shae's need to show that she was willing to invest in a long-term future for herself and their people. He mentioned the benefits to having the Mandalorian clans united to the Alliance, and that after all he was Mandalorian himself, and that he had been going to discuss the arranged partnership with Lana.

"And instead I came to see you, and found you balls deep in Shae," Lana said. She shook her head. "The irony is, I had been going to propose such a union myself. It's a good plan. And I rather like Shae personally. There's just one small problem."

"And that is?"

"YOU DIDN'T ASK ME FIRST!" she said, and purple bolts of **** Lightning arced from her fingers to The Outlander, zapping him. He convulsed with the electric shocks coursing through him for a few seconds before Lana relented. He blinked rapidly, realizing not only was he still alive, he wasn't even badly hurt - just a bit stunned. She hadn't meant to do him serious harm, just take her anger out on him.

"I'm torn between being proud of you for making a smart political decision without needing my advice, and furious at you for betraying me," she said, her voice deceptively even. "Where you going to just leave me for Shae?" she asked. To his surprise, the Outlander could see the glimmer of tears in her eyes.

"No," Shae said, speaking up for the first time. "The idea was that you and I would, you know, share him. I understand how you feel - I'd feel the same way in your position. But like you said, it's still a good plan."

Lana stalked toward the other woman. "So how long have you been planning this?"

Shae cocked her head. "Oh, I don't know. Probably since Voss," she said with a shrug.

"That long. And you didn't feel you needed to discuss it with me?" Lana asked.

"Well, we had more pressing issues, it never felt like the right time," Shae said, uncharacteristically awkward.

Lana balled her fist and punched Shae in her right breast. The Mandalorian woman hunched down, holding herself, cursing under her breath.

The Outlander pulled Lana back before she could strike again. "Look, it's not her you should be mad at. It was my mistake."

"You were both mistaken." Lana pinched the bridge of her nose. "If it had just been sex, you know, I wouldn't have minded. Pleasure is pleasure. But I could feel the emotions between the two of you. It was passion, and lust, but more. Comfort, companionship... maybe even love. And that's where you crossed the line."

"Lana..." the Outlander said, reaching for her.

Lana extended her hand to him, and unleashed another wave of **** Lightning for a brief moment, stunning him once again. His hair was standing on end and there was a faint smell of ozone in the air. "You realize you had that coming."

He twitched and tried to say "Yes" but it came out more like, "Yrhrrph."

Lana took her seat once more. "So the question is, where do we go from here?"
