Orion

Gaiya woke up after a long dive into the nether, reuniting with old flames and having to face a conspiracy of galactic proportion. Compromised system, missing people, and developing new life in danger. Thrust in a decision making position, she is facing a reality that sacrifices will have to be made. What will she prioritize to save? Dear reader, Welcome to my first attempt at writing a story. I am updating as I am writing, so I apologize in advance for not being able to guarantee times in between chapters. As a binge reader myself I understand frustration of having to wait long for updates and I am striving to finish it as soon as possible. However, life happens, and sometimes interruptions are unavoidable, my apologies in advance. English is my second language, so if something can be phrased better I will greatly appreciate constructive comments. The story is developing as it's growing, so it is hard for me to summarize it at this time. The world is describes as protagonist discovers it, however a big adventure is about to begin. At this moment I have an inkling about the titanic forces driving the events, but the roads our heroes will take are yet to be discovered. N

You could hear jets turning on in the bathroom, gurgling clear water into a large tub through many jets. Erot gave Gaiya a meaningful look while she sipped on her coffee.

"Aren't you too eager? I'll be around." She replied showing no interest in sponge service.

"There is no guarantee you won't get holed up in your lab for eons you crazy shut-in," he sounded irked.

"Yeah, I do that sometimes..." she lamented with with a lazy smile.

"Sheesh, if I didn't find you, you'd never known pleasure."

"Probably, I'm a passive soul."

"Well, be grateful to my generosity for providing some color in between your projects & naps."

"Come to think of it, can't even remember much since before we met."

"You were a snot nosed brat glued to your grampa's lab coat when we met."

"Didn't take you long to fall for a snotty brat, low standards my friend." She hit him back with sarcasm.

"Couldn't help myself, fell head over heals for the mousy girl." He replied musing. "Heartless woman that would abandon me all alone for centuries for her projects."

"Oh, come on, you were never truly alone." But as he said, I've probably been awake for only few hundred years, diving in to skip waiting, it's a surprise he's always there when I wake up.

"Man's gotta eat," he replied shamelessly. "Besides, you can be surrounded by people and feel incredibly lonely.."

"You missed me, huh?"

"Now then, I think you bath is ready my lady." He said with a serious look.

Despite her objections, he picked her up and mercilessly carried her into the bathroom. She was promptly de-robed and deposited into the warm water. Hot water excited her muscles, lower stomach muscles tensed up anticipating excitement.

Erot placed his hands on both sides of her tub, leaning in from behind he whispered "scoot over into her ear."

Shivers go through through her skin every time he whispers sweet nothings into her ears. She slowly moved forward, and with a smooth hop Erot eased in behind her.

He slowly begun massaging her back, putting her in a state of blissful relaxation. After she turned into a putty in his hands he plopped her up and she ended up sitting on his lap. He begun gently lathering her skin with soapy oils to the rhythm of soft moans. Eventually the rhythm picked up and she ended up leaning forward while they were splashing water all over the place.

Exhosted Gaiya was dried & tuckered in to bed, she spent the rest of the morning in the soft embrace of Erot.

Later, while munching on light lunch Erot had an idea:

"Let's go out to dinner, I know a magical little place."

"Ehh, I'd rather rest and go into the lab tomorrow."

"Boo-hoo, that won't have a slightest change even if you play around for a month."

"I'm curious."

"You're a bore, and a meanie, leaving me so soon."

"Fine." She caved in.

"What a splendid decision! Oh, I'll have to run then! So much to do! So little time!"

"Don't be dramatic."

"I'll pick you up at 6, don't make me wait!" He said as he hoped off the balcony and flew high. She marveled at his skill at controlling antigravity. All the silly buffoonery masked the enormous intelligence hidden behind the pretty face, she wondered if that was on purpose. With propulsion gusts on his back controlling his trajectory, the golden boy looked like an angel.

"Orion, I'd like more coffee."

A rounded robot smoothly glided from a parted section of the wall. Small robotic arms extended, picked up her cup, pulled it back to an indentation, turned it around to rinse and air dry it. Then the cup was turned up, and the machine proceeded brewing fresh coffee with frosty foam.

She lounged a bit in the comfort of her balcony, sipping her favorite coffee while enjoying the view she had. Her modest apartment was pretty high on a high rise building. This was not her original place, she spent most of her slumber in a hight tech facility. She wondered if her original building was still around since she was moved to new place to ease into awakening.

"Not a bad view." The sun was at it's highest point, glassy buildings reflected sun bunnies. Little hooverseats looked like dew drops slithering down glass stems of the buildings, with tree tops on the ground looking like grass the whole thing was creating an impression of a giant glass forest.

She lounged for a little more, doing nothing in particular while recharging strength. When the sun begun rolling down towards the horizon she decided it was time to get moving.

"Orion, I need to choose a dress."

A digital 3-d image projected near by, looking like Gaiya wearing nude underwear. Gaiya scrolled through an interface that showed up on her lap. She figured to wear a cute, but comfy little dress. While scrolling through choices, her selections would display on the 3-d model. She settled on a simple A-line red lace dress and memory foam black slippers. Comfort over style, especially when hanging out with Erot, directed that decision.

"Orion, I want light evening make up."

A small liquid looking blob floated to her face and spread out evenly. It was rejuvenating her skin while lightly tinting her eyes and lips. It peeled back into a blob once the job was done leaving behind refreshed face. Meanwhile her order arrived in a neat velvet box. She changed into the pretty dress and decided to pin her hair back. She did a twirl in front of a full length mirror and gave herself a satisfied nod.

"Looking good! Ready to go?"

When did he arrive?
