"Bring Me To My Knees" PART 2

Crosshair/Hunter x Reader Non Gendered SMUT++

Dividers by the talented: @saradika and @4ngelic-wh1spers

Background: Reader and Crosshair are separated from the group during the rescue of Omega and Tech from Mt Tantiss. Two broken people trying to get by in the galaxy. Then two broken people finally dealing with what happened to their group.

Word Count: 2.3K

Warning: Star Wars Canon violence, angst, death of major character, sadness, crying, guilt, permanent injury, stuff blowing up, swearing, kissing, intercourse, heavy petting, bite kind, blood kink, pain kink, spank kink, smutty/lemony content, lovers triangle with Hunter and Crosshair.

FOR CLARITY, HUNTER FLASHBACK SMUT SCENE IN CHAPTER 1. THE CROSSHAIR SMUT SCENE IS IN THIS CHAPTER 2. Broke this up in 2 chapters because I just couldn't stop writing...and 4K might be too much for one sitting.

I purposely wrote the reader in this fic to be of no specific gender. Tried to carefully craft the sexual scenes to accommodate either gender/non gendered/trans/genderfluid/non-binary. Everyone has hills, valleys, sexual organs, nipples, and erogenous zones. I wrote them into the story, but it's up to you dear reader to put your imagination to work. Hope I have done a good enough job that you can enjoy yourself with Hunter and Crosshair without breaking immersion!

To read Chapter 1:

The intel proved to be correct. You and Crosshair traveled to an uncharted planet well past the Outer Rim. A quiet unassuming place to start planning a burgeoning Rebellion.

He piloted. As your ship entered planetary airspace several Rebel ships swooped in as escorts. The Rebel base radioed in to confirm your status.

“Crosshair, Clone Force 99 and Y/N, civilian. We are Rebel sympathizers wanting to join the Rebel cause and find our lost family and squad members.” You replied.

“Authenticating data. Hold your position.”

Silence as you and Crosshair waited on bated breath.

“You are clear to land. We will perform a customary inspection of your transport. Then check your gunnery and weapons at the docking station armory.”

“They’ll be taking my rifle OVER my DEAD body.” Crosshair snarked.

“Toothpick?”

“Hhm?”

“It’s your gun, NOT your dick. Let them do their job.”

He sighed and shook his head.

Word must have spread fast. No sooner did you land than Omega was out the bay door jumping up and down in excitement.

Crosshair barely got the gangplank down on the ship. You jumped over the stairs and landed on your hands and knees. Sprung up and ran to her.

Omega knocked you over with her embrace. You were both laying there crying. She had grown two heads taller and much stronger too.

Rebel soldiers had come out to check the validity of your claims. They stood aside seeing at least one of their residents recognize you. They had witnessed MANY reunions just like this as people were finding their way to the planet.

There was more: Wrecker wasn’t far behind. He scooped you both up and hugged you fiercely.

“AWWW...SO GLAD YOU’RE HERE! MISSED YA HORRIBLY!!!” Wiping away tears.

Echo approached with Phee.

Wrecker let you go, and you embraced them both with each arm.

“Phee...what happened???” Her beautiful hair was gone. Head covered and tied fashionably with a scarf. Burn scar down one side of her face. You noticed one hand had scars as well.

She shot Echo a strange look, then shrugged and perked up. “It’s growing back. Getting bacta therapy for the scars.”

“Tech? Hunter? Are they here?”

Echo answered “Come inside. We’ll get you settled.”

“Wait, I didn’t come alone.”

You turned towards your ship. Crosshair was standing at the bottom of the stairs.

Omega gave him a bear hug. He had allowed her that. Wrecker stood a few feet away watching them.

Echo took your hand. “Let’s give them some time to catch up.”

He and Phee led you inside the base past bustling personnel.

“Wait...I didn’t check my blaster...”

“That’s ok” Phee patted your shoulder. “We vouched for you. Crosshair though...”

You approached an open medical station with bacta tanks lined up...recognizing...

“TECH!”

He bobbed merrily in the solution, waving at your arrival.

You stopped to see he was missing both legs...just like Echo. There were scars all over his body, some weren’t present during his rescue. Tech saw your face and immediately started signing in Basic.

It is no major loss. I will be fine. Only 20 more rotations within this tank, then I shall be fitted for my prosthetics...please...don’t cry.

Things were starting to come together...Phee’s hair loss and burns...the Marauder being hit...

“WHERE’S HUNTER???” You yelled it in a panic.

Echo stepped in and took your hand. “Y/N... he...” The look on his face told you this wouldn’t be good news. Echo’s eyes registered the scarf draped around your neck.

There was a commotion behind you at the entrance of the base. Crosshair’s voice. Arguing with two Rebel troopers over his lack of compliance regarding check-in.

“Sir! We need you to...”

“NOT NOW! Can’t you see MY PARTNER is in distress!!!”

The trooper grabbed his arm. Crosshair immediately disarmed the man and put his ass on the floor. Then handed the troopers gun to HIS partner sneering, “I said FUCK OFF!”

The second trooper took the gun and commed for backup.

Crosshair stalked over gently putting his hands on your shoulders. Fixing Echo with his baleful stare. “Where’s Hunter?”

Echo fixed you both with his amber eyes. He sighed; his expression was so sad. “I’ll take you to him.”

Tech tapped on the tank to get Crosshair’s attention. Cross glanced over shocked. He hadn’t recognized who was in there. Then he noticed Tech’s condition.

I’ll be ok brother. He signed.

Tech put his hand up against the glass. Crosshair placed his on the other side against Tech’s.

The trooper’s backup arrived and trained their blasters on Crosshair. He turned and eyed them menacingly. Then dropped his hands from your shoulders, one of which you grabbed.

“Don’t start any shit, Toothpick. Please, this isn’t the time.” Squeezing his hand firmly.

He squeezed your hand back and stood down.

“Break it up Trooper. These are friendlies.” Captain Rex emerged from the back of the squad.

“But sir, he assaulted one of our Rebel staff. And he refused to check his rifle.” Pointing to Stormpuncher mounted on Crosshair’s back.

“I’ll handle it, Trooper. You are all dismissed.”

The Rebel squad eyed Crosshair uneasily as they filed away from the scene.

“Good to see you both alive and well.” Rex smiled genuinely. “But I’ll let Echo catch you up on everything.” He nodded to Echo and stepped away.

At this point Wrecker and Omega joined the group.

“Follow me.” Echo instructed.

You glanced at Tech as the group started to walk away. He smiled wistfully.

“I got them Brown Eyes.” She winked at Tech, and he winked back. But he still looked concerned.

Phee put her arm around your shoulder and walked with you. Crosshair followed at your other side silently.

The group filed through the whole facility: past logistics, maintenance, troop training, mess, quarters, a small prison area (mostly empty), daycare, pet kennel, a few non-descript departments, and finally to the back end of the facility. The group approached heavy double doors.

There was a sense of dread in your chest. Everyone was quiet. Echo looked heartbroken as he swiped his key card over the lock mechanism.

The doors opened to the outside. A HUGE garden stretching for over a mile...planted with the bodies of those fallen from the Empire. Headstones, holoshrines, helmets, and all manner of tributes marked each plot. Adults, children, military, civilians, even service animals. Droids who could not be repaired were erected as tribute statuary with holoplaques proclaiming their sacrifice.

Hunter was there. Laid to rest several rows down from the entrance.

The realization hit you like a ton of bricks.

“This isn’t real...” Shaking your head but staring straight ahead at Hunter’s helmet propped up on his plot. “NO... can’t.” Tears running down your face.

Phee rubbed your back. “I’m SO sorry.” She was crying too. “Broody saved my life. I almost burned to death.” She pulled off the scarf to reveal the severity of her injuries. “I’m the reason he’s here.”

Wrecker piped up “Noo, that’s not true. He would’ve done it for anyone on that ship.” He hugged Phee.

Survivor’s guilt. Your heart went out to her.

Crosshair took your hand and silently encouraged you to step down into the memorial and go to Hunter’s plot. You inhaled and stepped down...then your legs gave out. Crosshair grabbed your right shoulder. Echo ran over and supported your left.

They led you to the plot. Wrecker, Phee, and Omega stayed behind.

Soft grass was planted for whomever wished to sit and visit. Hunter’s helmet was surrounded by vivid red Poppies in full bloom. Echo seated you upon the grass. Crosshair kneeling beside you.

“Can I do anything at all for you both.” He inquired.

Silence.

“Uh...I’ll give you some privacy.”

“Echo?”

“Yeah?”

You swept him up in a hug again. “Thank you...for everything.” Tears returning.

“Oh, of course.” He embraced you back. Holding on for some time.

Echo patted your back and cleared his throat. He let go and wiped a tear from his face.

Then he was gone.

Crosshair sat stone faced staring at Hunter’s helmet bereft of emotion. It was the best he could do at this moment.

You took off the red scarf, slipped it over Hunter’s helmet, and arranged it as if draped off Hunter’s own shoulders.

Like he was sitting right in front of you with his bucket on...

A sudden loud sob escaped. Each exhalation became louder until it ended in a scream. Your face red and pressed into the warm grass. Watering Hunter’s grave with your tears. Freeing the emotion out of the pit of your being. Screaming, sobbing until empty, finally collapsing from exhaustion.

The afternoon progressed and the sun started to dip down towards the horizon.

“Hey” Crosshair nudged you from disassociation. “Let’s go.”

Numb, you let him haul you up under the shoulders. Standing, your vision went snowy and black.

Crosshair must have carried you to the ship. The next few days were a blur, you slept through most of it. He hovered, fixing ration soup and just about threatening to force feed you. Trading whatever he could for black market sweets just to get ANYTHING into your belly. You barely remember Echo, Wrecker, Omega, or Phee visiting. Or AZI monitoring your vitals, reporting them well within range, that it was “only” grief and would eventually pass.

Finally, after days in your bunk Crosshair had enough.

“Soup!” He poked you awake.

“Whaa?” Weakly turning over, burrowing under the blanket.

“Get up. You STINK!”

“Fuck off Crossy...”

“Get up, or I’m throwing you INTO the refresher. Clothes and all.”

You ignored him.

Crosshair reached under the blanket and yanked you up. You caterwauled hurling swears, too weak to fight. But you were strong enough to hold on.

He opened the refresher door and attempted to set you down. You stuck to him like shit on a Bantha’s behind. It turned into a wrestling match, both of you swearing at one another. One hand pried off him, then another would latch on, finally tearing his shirt to shreds.

Cross gave up and flipped on the water soaking you both. The cold spray only made you hold on tighter, pressing against his chest for warmth. He gave up, sighed, adjusted the temp to warm.

“Will you wash my hair?”

Sighing again. “Yes.”

You let go and turned your back to him. Crosshair lathered up his hands.

“Wait.” You pulled the soaked T-shirt over your head and threw it in the corner of the shower. Now you're only clad in underwear. “Ok.”

He applied the shampoo and did one helluva job massaging it into your hair. You smiled and groaned at the sensation. He finished by twisting the hair into a soapy point atop your head.

“Will you wash my back and neck?”

Heavy sigh. But he did. His hands were amazing.

“Toothpick, will...”

“I’m NOT washing your dirty ass...or anything else. You can reach.” Cross rinsed his hands and exited the refresher, leaving you to finish the job.

You finally exited the shower feeling and smelling much better.

Clean towels and comfy clothing were waiting for you. A non-descript box sat atop them.

Dried, dressed, brushed your hair and nasty teeth. Then opened the box. The beautiful black and silver scarf from Mel and Marv’s stand. Toothpick paid attention...and had held on to it the whole time.

You put it on and made your way back through the darkened ship.

Crosshair was waiting, sitting on a blanket spread out on the floor. There was a multitude of fresh food and rations upon it. Also, a lit candle in the middle. The kind he would razz you about that “smelled like flowers and shit.”

You smiled. “Is this a date?” Attempting some levity.

“Sit your ass down and eat.”

“Thank you.” Caressing the scarf around your neck.

“For what?” He played dumb. You could see he noticed.

“Everything. Being there for...” You couldn’t bear to speak it. “Taking care of me, this food...”

“Can’t have you dying on me. Would have smelled worse than you already did.”

“Oh...and that shower brawl...” looking up from your food. “THAT was certainly SOMETHING.”

Crosshair grinned. “You owe me a new shirt.”

“Do I, now? Well, don’t wear clothes in the refresher when you decide to throw me in.”

He cocked an eyebrow while biting into a ration bar.

“Then when I grab something, it’ll be foreplay.”

Crosshair choked on his food.

You stuffed yourself full. Satisfied, thanking Crosshair again (who rolled his eyes), and wandered back to your bunk.

He had changed the bedding out while you were in the refresher. It was clean and the blanket turned over, inviting you to slide in.

It felt wonderful burrowing into the clean sheets.

But sleep was elusive tonight.

The grief was still too much for you both.

Two people alone on a dark, silent ship. The distance between you palpable.

“Are...you awake?” he furtively asked with hushed tones in the dark.

“Umhmm.” Intrigued as to why he asked. Sitting up and sliding your legs off to the side of the bunk.

Silence.

You sat there in the dark waiting for an answer.

More silence...

youtube

(You like a song to go with the following scene? Please check it out. Smutty, but emotional)

...then Crosshairs hand gently smoothing away the hair from your temple.

You immediately embraced him tightly.

He falters for just a beat. Body frozen for what seems like an eternity. Would this scare him away?

Then you feel his arms encircle you, lips upon your cheek...kissing down to your lips.

Unable to hold back any further, you turn your head to meet his lips to yours.

Mouths opening to breathe into the well of one another. Sliding upon each other passionately. Breaths furiously taken in between long heated kisses.

Then parting quickly to pull the clothing from each other's body. Almost ripping the cloth away from bare skin. Occasional moans of longing for skin-to-skin contact.

Finally free of constraints, he stops to visually take you in...

...he’s waited SO LONG for this moment. Couldn’t help admiring your strength while rescuing him on Tantiss...but finding out you bonded romantically to Hunter...

“I... I’m afraid...” Terror and shame on his face.

This shocks you to hear such words fall from his lips. He’s so VULNERABLE...kneeling next to you proclaiming his feelings.

You reach out and stroke the side of his face, then firmly grip this chin. “So am I. But it’s just the two of us now.”

You both stare into the lonely abyss of each other's eyes.

“And I CAN’T STAND being alone.”

“Then you WON’T be...EVER” He reaches out across the space between, pulling you to his body. His heat, his need.

You have your own need, your heat blazes HOT with his deep kisses. Tongues intertwining.

Then he pulls away to bury his face next to your ear whispering EVERY DIRTY THING he’s going to do to you while nuzzling and nipping your ear. Rubbing his hard cock along your shin, sliding along the wetness it leaves behind.

You moan loudly...” Oh...fuck me...”

“Mhmm...” trailing his tongue down your neck. His hands caressing the inside of your thighs. Stopping just short of your sex. Teasing his fingers around it...teasing you into fever pitch.

Your hand on his shoulder digs your nails into his flesh. He moans in ecstasy from the pain. Trailing down your chest to nip and lick at your nipples. Crosshair stares up adoringly with half hooded eyes.

His hand casually brushes your sex and trails away.

Smiling while he teases.

You grip the edge of the bunk, bracing your feet on the floor, and buck out your hips in the air, gasping, baring your teeth.

Then he playfully but firmly slaps your sex.

It pisses you off while turning you on at the same time. The tension building.

His cock is SO slippery against your leg. The breath coming from him labored and shaky. Tracing your thighs just so closely to where you want to be stimulated, then away again.

“FUCK ME!” You growl deeply through your teeth. Something FERAL awakening in you. Shaking, sweating, digging harder into his shoulder. It starts to bleed, and his eyes roll back in his head.

His facial expression turns intense. He slaps your sex again. You moan louder, then growl again.

The teasing. It’s driving you INSANE.

He knows you’re about to lose it...

Crosshair stops kissing your chest, put’s his snarky, sexy, come-fuck-me-face up to your ear...

“...Mmm...bite me...”

Back somewhere in your sexually addled lizard brain registers this could be literal instead of figurative.

And he slaps you...ONE MORE TIME...

Without thinking you sink your teeth into his other shoulder. Blood seeping into your mouth.

Crosshair screams out in fevered sexual ecstasy...frotting his weeping cock furiously against your leg.

His slapping hand comes back fully on your sex, furiously stimulating...

...kneading...

...filling up your intimate spaces...

...sliding....

...you buck your hips tightly against the hand that services you...

...as the pressure of your molars squeeze the flesh of his shoulder...it’s heavenly pressure...the taste of copper as you suck it down...

Crosshair’s fevered thrusts of his hips.

The fevered ministrations of his hand.

Ragged breaths mixed with groans...whimpers...

You release your mouth from his shoulder, as you gasp for air... blood trailing down his back from the punctures. Small crimson rivulets running down your chin, neck, across your erect nipples...you fall back...Pressing your head into the bunk...eyes widening...mouth open. His left hand on the small of your back like a spotter, his right sending you over the edge...

Clenching your abdomen...you feel that tickle...the beginning of...

Crosshair stops and pulls his hand away. You grab his arm devastated, angry even to be thwarted from your orgasm.

Breathlessly “I want to FEEL you...from the INSIDE.” It’s not presented as a question. But he’s waiting for your consent.

You reach down, stroke his sopping wet member. He moans and shudders. Then brush a ghost of a kiss across Crosshair’s forehead as you scoot fully onto the bunk and open yourself up to him. Your seductive gaze is inviting.

Up off his knees, he slinks over you on the bunk. Staring like a hungry animal.

For a fleeting moment, you don’t see Crosshair there...just Hunter. Your desire threatens to topple over into grief...all these emotions bubbling up from the surface. That scar will NEVER be totally healed. The sadness that will NEVER totally leave.

Crosshair watches the subtle changes of your expression and senses this. He understands. While there are differences, it’s his loss too.

He covers his body with yours, basking in the warmth skin to skin. Then takes your face in his hands. Touching foreheads, he whispers promises for you both in the future. All the things you will do together and the burdens you will both share and support each other through. Every one of them ends with a kiss as a promise.

“I’m not Hunter...but...I’ll work on being a better man than I was in my past.”

“I don’t want you to live in Hunter’s shadow. You’re different. Our relationship will be different.”

Silence.

“I’m SO SORRY you lost your brother.”

Crosshair covers his face with his hand. Silent tears spill out between his fingers.

You say no more and hold him tightly. Knowing it was A LOT for him to even let go like this. Knowing the relationship, he had with especially Hunter was fraught with so much emotional angst. And the heavy burden Crosshair holds about the horrible things he did at the end.

You both lay there for some time wrapped up together in each other's arms...just being. Crosshair’s head resting on your chest, listening to your heartbeat. You rubbing gentle circles though his hair.

Finally, he speaks, “Would you like me to finish?” Looking up at you seriously with those intense dark eyes.

You read him like a book. He knows you too well now. There’s a deep care for one another. But you both know the sex tonight will be for dealing with the grief. That's ok though. It’s an unspoken agreement of how this will help the two of you bond and heal.

You’ll both drink, fight, fuck, laugh, and all manner of things together while dealing with this shared grief. Whatever gets you by. It’ll bind you both thick as thieves.

“Yes.”

He kisses down your body to your sex. Licking, sucking, lavishing you with an intensity that prevents you from lying still. All the while grinding his returned erection into the sheets, soaking them.

You both begin to get vocal. He adds more stimulation with his fingers, driving you wild. Grasping the bedding, you arch your back again. With the pressure in your core, his tongue wetly sliding over your sex...your breathing reaches a fever pitch...the tingling returns...

“Crosshair...”

He stops, sits up, gently pulls your hips to position, and slides his length into you.

“Fuuuck...” he groans loudly, slowly pulling out, then slowly sliding in...he wants to feel it ALL. No rush. Just the amazing sensation...every inch...of him...against you...

...sliding out...

...sliding in...

His legs are shaking.

Your breath not just respirations but moans to the timing of his thrusts.

...sliding out...

...sliding in...

Crosshair’s eyes are hooded in desire. He can see you’re about to cum. A crooked, horny smile crosses his face.

The tingle becomes a wave...

IT RUSHES THROUGH YOU like beautiful warm surf racing towards your sex...

...and reaches its destination...

You arch your back deeper...He’s watching you at the apex of your orgasm. Time seems to slow down for a few seconds. Eyes open with no angst, anger, judgement, spite, sass...his eyes...the window to a man WIDE OPEN at this moment in time. He’s telling you with his eyes what his voice could not.

You’re staring above right into those eyes as your head presses just a centimeter deeper into the bedding...you inhale DEEPLY as those warm tendrils explode deep at the base of your core.

Orgiastic moan-scream comes from your mouth so intensely you feel it in the roof of your mouth. Vision fuzzing out slightly. Tiny warm explosions of nerves firing everywhere in your body.

Crosshair squeezes you tightly, screaming gutturally, eyes shut tight, and shuddering inside you with his own climax. Both of your sensory stimuli shut out to the outside world: Only aware of you both connected at the junction of your bodies.

And then the orgasm dissipates like a wave being pulled back out to sea. Seafoam settling in and tickling the shoals of your sex.

You feel warm and tingly...the rush of all those endorphins. He collapses gently on top of you. Gathering each other up in embrace.

laying in each other’s arms realizing the future is wide open. It's a bit daunting...scary even. But you have each other. And, for now, that will do.

Guarded - Part 26

Master List | Previous Part | Next Part

A/N: There are some "In Command" spoilers in this chapter, so be warned if you're trying to avoid those. Also, a bit of *spicy* stuff at the end of this chapter. As always, thank you to the fantastic @teletraan-meets-jarvis for editing this chapter (and encouraging me to post it today hehe)! :)

Two rotations later, the plan was set. Typho, Hunter, and Wrecker were to meet Iden, Sabé, Echo, Crosshair, and Senna in Keren at the dwelling Sabé had identified. After the battle, the plan was for them to stay, holding the city with the militia factions that would come to support. Inez was planning to stay behind in Fellen, once again manning the back-up communications channels if something happened. Crosshair felt a certain amount of sadness he’d never admit to about leaving Fellen. It had been peaceful, even with the battles waged both internally and externally. Sentimentally, it was the place where he’d felt the most himself since Order 66, and he hoped that feeling would continue to grow, even as they moved onto the next venture.

He was in the cellar helping Inez take a final inventory of their munitions and supplies, standing on his tiptoes to reach the higher shelves she couldn’t quite get to.

“Three dozen thermal detonators,” he stated, and Inez punched it into the datapad, nodding. A small bond had formed between the two of them since she’d cleaned his armor, something he couldn’t quite explain, but it made him want to be more helpful to her. Inez wasn’t one made for battle like the others, but she felt a certain urge to be useful in any way she could, particularly after Jex’s death. Her determination to contribute was something he found admirable. Maybe it reminds me of the kid. Even though he’d never admit it out loud, he missed Omega.

“I think that’s the last of it,” Inez said, a small smile creeping over her face. Crosshair nodded at her. She’d been out of her room more and more in recent days, presumably with the understanding that they would be depending on her shortly, and she’d be on her own then. “Thank you for your help,” she said quietly, giving his shoulder a pat before turning and walking back up the steps. Reaching down, he began packing the explosives back in the crate he’d pulled off the top shelf before pausing to watch Senna and her new recruits.

The two young Force users had arrived a few rotations before, and the Jedi had wasted no time in beginning her evaluation of their abilities. They both were young, barely older than teenagers, and had little training prior to the Empire’s reign. The young boy, Nuule, had discovered his gift at a young age, finding himself able to bond with the animals on his family’s farm in one of more rural agricultural communities. His gift had become apparent when he was able to herd the family livestock in record time by merely raising a hand. The second, a girl a few years older named Tanelly, had taken a bit longer to discover her connection to the Force, but had taught herself to push and float objects by her early teens. Senna stood before them both now, hands clasped behind her back as they extended their arms to move stones on the dirt floor before them.

“Reach out, but never do so when your emotions are unstable. If nurtured, those strong feelings can tip your balance, something you’ll depend on when using the Force. Balance is the key to the Force, push and pull, eb and flow.” The rock in front of Tanelly scooted forward easily, but Crosshair noted the young man floundering, his eyebrows furrowed as he struggled. The rock wiggled forward half a meter or so, starting and stopping in its progress. Finally, he opened his eyes, clearly frustrated. Senna moved to crouch in front of him, laying a hand on his shoulder. “We all have our strengths and specialties in our connections to the Force. I’ve never been able to connect to creatures in the way you have, Nuule. The concepts I’m trying to teach you will aid you in all areas, not just moving objects. You’re doing well. It takes time.” The young man nodded. Senna cast a glance over her shoulder, noting the sniper’s gaze. Straightening, she addressed her pupils.

“It’s been a long day, and you’ve both done well. Why don’t you go upstairs and see if you can track down some food. We’ll talk one more time in the morning before I leave.”

They nodded their heads, pushing themselves to a standing position and mumbling thanks and farewells before exiting the cellar quietly. Senna strode towards Crosshair, stooping to help him place the detonators back in the crate.

“Hardly ready to be soldiers,” he mused.

“Oh, definitely not. I’m afraid the only Force user of that caliber may be their beloved queen. They’ll stay here when we leave tomorrow. I’ve asked Inez to keep an eye on them until we decide what the next course of action is. They’re in grave danger regardless of their involvement in this fight.” Placing the last explosive in the crate, she handed him the lid before sitting back on her haunches. “I fear that no one could have foreseen the fear the Empire would put into the hearts of people, particularly those with connections to the Force. It’s understandable that the program here didn’t produce many Force users ready to go toe to toe with Imperials or Inquisitors.” He noted her flexing the fingers on her metal hand absently.

Crosshair had never run into an Inquisitor during his time with the Empire, but he’d heard enough stories to know that they were not to be trifled with. He had overheard Echo and Tech speculating late at night as to how they were able to hunt Force users so easily. He knew that fear had been what had driven Senna into hiding, sacrificing everything to keep those she loved safe.

“I heard an Inquisitor was how you got that shiny piece of hardware,” he said quietly, sealing the explosives crate.

Senna looked down at her hand, flexing her fingers and rolling her wrist. “You know, I was due for an upgrade anyway. I was always frustrated that I wasn’t more ambidextrous, so more than happy to give lefty a more useful purpose,” she joked, but he could see the pain from the memory in her eyes. “I owe my life to your brothers. They got me out of the Empire’s hands, patched me up, and Tech and I designed this together. I still haven’t gotten to look at Echo’s, but I understand Tech based the design off this one. I’m actually kind of jealous.”

Crosshair placed the crate back on the top shelf, leaning a shoulder against the shelves and meeting the Jedi’s eyes. Something about her gaze was unnerving, like she could see everything inside of him at all times, her blue eyes boring holes into him. He shifted his shoulders uncomfortably, and she averted her eyes, sensing his discomfort.

“I’m glad you and Echo talked,” she said quietly. “I know there’s still a lot to be resolved, but your brothers were desperate to find you last time I saw them.”

He grunted, unsure of what to say. She didn’t press it, choosing to change the subject.

“How’s Iden?”

“Still shockingly resilient. Taking the Gadge news more in stride than I thought she would,” he rasped. He’d held her as she’d fallen asleep the last few nights, listening when she wanted to talk and not pressing when she didn’t. He knew she was taking it hard, even if she was good at hiding it. He had bandaged the mark on her finger where she’d dug her fingernail in the first night, letting her quietly weep as she expressed her disbelief at her friend’s betrayal. But by the following morning, as he held the incriminating datapad out to her, she had recovered, seemingly coming to terms with the reality of the situation. Crosshair was unsure if years of dealing with her parents’ murder and her sister’s leaving had made Iden capable of dealing with almost anything or if she was doomed to collapse under the weight of it all eventually. Either way, he planned on being there if she needed him and maybe even if she didn’t.

Senna nodded. “That’s good. I have to imagine having someone betray you like that is difficult.”

“You managed,” he said without thinking, and she raised an eyebrow at him.

He pulled a toothpick from the pack on his hip, fidgeting with it before popping it between his teeth. “I know what happened to you on Kashyyyk, when the order was given, and yet here you are, surrounded by clones, and by all accounts, still pining after one,” he noted, eyeing her left ring finger.

She wet her lips, considering her next words carefully. “It…it wasn’t hard to forgive you once I understood that you too were manipulated, just like the Jedi were. That you didn’t have a choice. My friends couldn’t stop themselves from shooting at me, the same way you couldn’t stop yourself from shooting Wrecker.” Straightening, she walked forward, hesitantly placing a hand on his shoulder.

“I know you’re a good man, Crosshair, even if you’d rather keep up this dark and broody act. Sarcastic and snide, yes, but still good. You care about people. Some people more than others, such as a certain lieutenant,” she said teasingly, and he rolled his eyes, keeping his arms crossed in front of him. “Anyway, you should get some sleep. We’ve got a long day of travel tomorrow.”

“You as well.”

She gave him a small smile before squeezing his shoulder one last time and exiting the cellar. Crosshair replaced the last few crates he’d pulled down during his inventory with Inez before trudging up the stairs as well. At the top, he paused, noting the bright moon in the night sky through one of the windows. Instead of heading to his quarters, he strode to the back door, quietly opening it and stepping out onto the back deck of the house.

The night air was warm with a slight breeze that tugged at his hair. He leaned against one of the pillars, watching the way the moonlight rippled off the surface of the lake, the quiet sounds of the water lapping at the shoreline breaking the silence.

“Nice night.”

He turned to see Iden stepping out the door behind him.

“Last relaxing one we may get for a while.”

“Eh, we’ll have some down time in Keren I imagine. I’ll bet it takes a week before Echo and Typho are comfortable giving the go-ahead on the attack.” He felt her eyes on him for a few moments as he continued to watch the ripples in the lake before finally turning to meet her eyes. She was beautiful, the moonlight shining in her eyes with the promise of a smirk playing across her lips. She had taken her hair down, and it hung to her shoulders, gently drifting in the breeze. She’d changed out of her uniform to some more comfortable clothes, a button down top and trousers, her feet bare. It was one of the few times he’d seen her without a blaster strapped to her hip. Well, other than the nights we spend together. He smirked at the thought.

“What?”

He glanced at her again, taking his toothpick from between his teeth and flicking out to land somewhere in the grass.

“Oh nothing.”

She rolled her eyes, walking towards him as her fingers tugged at the button holding the neck of her shirt closed.

“What are you doing?” he asked, taken slightly off guard as she brushed by him, undoing the buttons holding her shirt closed.

“Going for a dip since it’s our last night here. This is the best time of year in lake country, in my opinion, and I’ve only gone swimming to rehabilitate this kriffing knee. I’m going to go fix that. Care to join?” She winked at him as she stepped out into the moonlight, her shirt now fully open to expose her breastband and the scar across her abdomen. He hesitated, standing against the pillar and watching as she sauntered down to the water’s edge before turning back to beckon at him.

“Oh come on! At a minimum, you’ll get to see me less clothed, which I think you’d like.”

He rolled his eyes at that, but still found himself following her out towards the lake.

“Knew that’d get you.”

“Hardly.”

She was kicking off her pants now, leaving her in nothing but her breastband and undershorts. The mud made a squelching sound as she took her first steps into it before wading out a few meters and diving under the surface of the lake. She popped up off the shoreline, exhaling deeply as she pushed her hair out of her face before turning back to watch him.

Crosshair stood awkwardly for a few moments before relenting, kicking off his boots and socks. He pulled the top half of his blacks off, leaving his bottoms on, and Iden let out a whistle at that, prompting another eye roll from him. He made his way out to the lake’s edge, wading out a bit before diving in after her. The water was cold, sending a tingle down his spine as he broke the surface near her.

“It’s freezing!” he said, shivers wracking his body as the skin on his arms and shoulders pimpled from the chill.

“Oh, this is nothing. You should try it when the spring first comes. Then, you get the water from the melting snowpack, and that is cold. Come on, you just need to swim around a bit to warm your body up.” She splashed him before swimming along the shoreline where she was still able to touch. Crosshair followed her, letting his arms pull him through the water. It had been a long while since he’d swam, and even then, it had been with all of his gear on during a mission. This time, he was able to lithely cut through the water, his muscles warming from the effort, and it felt freeing in a way he couldn’t explain. He swam until he caught up to Iden, his lungs and legs burning satisfyingly. She was watching him with a smile.

“What?” he grunted.

“Nothing. You just seem to be enjoying yourself.”

“Don’t get to swim much during a war.”

She pondered that. “Makes sense. This is how I’d spend my summers as a kid. Before my parents died, we’d come visit friends out here, and my sister and I would swim in these lakes like we were fish ourselves.” Iden tipped back, letting her feet lift above the surface, her arms working underneath her to keep her head above the surface. “We’d watch the stars at night as we dried off. I know there’s a lot of planets out there, but I just can’t imagine any place that compares to this.”

Crosshair drifted next to her, looking up at the stars. “I’ve been to a lot of those places. There are some that come close that I think you’d like, but we never really got the opportunity to stop and enjoy the scenery.”

Her fingers found his in the water, interlacing and pulling their palms flush. “Any places worth going back to?” she asked.

“Maybe a few.”

“Would you take me?”

He paused at that, turning to look at her, and he could see her duck her head slightly. “I…I’d just like to go see places like that, and I figure it’d be better to go with someone that’s familiar with them, yeah?”

Crosshair smirked. “I suppose so.”

Iden was flustered, and he found it amusing. He rarely had seen her back on her heels, and he had to assume she rarely expressed sentiments like the one she just had. He let himself drift back again, her fingers slipping from his as she ducked down below the surface. Crosshair closed his eyes as the water lapped at his skin, letting himself drift peacefully before a thought intruded into his mind. It’s too quiet.

He opened his eyes just as the clod of mud struck him in the side of the head. It wasn’t enough to hurt, but it was enough to make him splutter indignantly as he whirled on Iden. She was crouched low in the water, grinning as her arms dug around in the mud below her.

“What was that for?” he snarled.

“I hear the mud here has healing properties.” She shrugged.

“Really?” he asked, cocking an eyebrow at her.

“No, of course not.”

He dunked his head under the water, rubbing the mud off the side of his face before scooping his own handful up. “Bad play, Lieutenant,” he growled playfully, and her eyes widened. He charged forward and she let loose a squeal, flinging another handful at him. He dodged out of the way before tossing his mud at her, which caught her in the shoulder, knocking her off balance. He was on her in a second, his arms wrapping around her as he lifted her out of the water before toppling her backwards. As her back touched the bottom of the lake, he reached out with his hand grabbing some more mud and smearing it across her face. They both broke the surface with her cackling and gasping as she scraped the mud off of her cheeks before rubbing it back into his face.

Crosshair laughed harder than he’d laughed in a long time as Iden struggled in his arms and he wrestled her back under the water. When he yanked them both back up, her hair was hanging in her face and she spluttered in between her giggles. She pushed away from him, tipping herself backwards and shaking her head to clear her face before sitting back up, her hair slicked down her back and out of her face.

His breath caught in his throat as she looked at him, the moonlight catching her eyes and reflecting off of her wet skin. Suddenly, neither of them were laughing anymore, just staring at each other intently, the air between them humming with something neither of them dared identify. Gently, Crosshair’s hand drifted up to her cheek to brush a bit of mud off of it. He felt Iden’s legs wrap around his waist, and he pulled her closer, allowing his fingers to drift up her back. Her fingers slid into his hair, gently grazing the scar on the right side of his head. Her eyes searched his as her nose brushed against his, her breath warm against his lips. His hand on her cheek wrapped around the back of her head, pulling her lips against his, and he felt her gently scrape her fingers against his scalp.

Warmth flooded through every one of his limbs as he felt her press her body against him, her breastband against his bare chest, her arms resting on his shoulders as his palm splayed against her spine. When his tongue grazed her lower lip, she shuddered in his arms, pulling away to rest her forehead against his as they panted. They hadn’t done more than kiss and hold each other at night, hands wandering no further than the skin exposed by the clothes they slept in, but the air between them was laced with need and urgency now, waiting for the tension to snap.

“Iden-“

“We should go inside. It’s cold out here.” Her eyes were practically glowing like embers as she slipped out of his arms, taking his hand and pulling him out of the water. Silently, they gathered their clothes and walked back into the dwelling quietly. It seemed as though everyone else was asleep as they made their way upstairs. Outside of their rooms, they paused, and Crosshair wasn’t sure what to do. He’d always been one to take the lead, but here, it was different. He wanted Iden to dictate the pace, afraid that if he pressed too hard, she’d falter and this moment would shatter. She appeared to be weighing her options as well as they stood there, their clothes dangling from their arms.

Finally, she looked up at him, her teeth grazing her bottom lip as she appeared to be working up some sort of courage. He watched her patiently, hardly daring to breathe.

“I’m going to take a shower to get this mud off,” she said quietly.

“Alright.”

“You probably should get cleaned up too.” Her eyes met his, and without another word, she walked down the hall to the refresher. She reached inside, turning on the light before turning to look over her shoulder one more time at him. Crosshair met her eyes as she stepped inside, and he heard the telltale hiss of the shower being turned on. The door was still open, the invitation there for his taking.

Tossing his clothes into his room, he followed Iden into the refresher, closing the door behind him.

---

Bang. Bang. Bang.

Iden groaned as she rubbed her eyes against the intrusive sunlight pouring in through the window in her room.

“Iden, you in there?”

“Yeah, what is it Echo?”

“Just making sure you’re up and moving. We’re getting ready to leave within the hour.”

The lieutenant stiffened, propping herself up on one elbow as she ran her fingers through her hair. Karking hells, what time is it even? She felt a warm hand and fingers creep across her bare abdomen, coming to rest just below her breasts as the figure behind her nuzzled closer, placing featherlight kisses along the back of her neck. She squirmed, but her companion pulled her tighter, nipping the skin on the nape of her neck so she had to stifle a yelp.

“Iden? You alright?” Echo called, concern edging his voice.

“Yeah, just stretching.” She swatted at the sniper, but he caught her wrist. “I’ll be out in a few. Didn’t sleep great.”

She could practically hear Echo grinning through the door. “Alright. Well, if you see Crosshair, tell him the same thing. He’s not in his room and no one’s seen him around.”

Iden rolled her eyes. “If I see him, I’ll be sure to tell him.”

She heard the huff of laughter from outside the door, but it was drowned out by the quiet chuckle coming from behind her. She listened to Echo’s footsteps recede down the stairs before rolling over to find Crosshair laying on his back with one hand tucked behind his head, the other reaching out to pull her closer to him.

“You’re kriffing awful, you know that?” she muttered, leaning forward to place a kiss to his lips as his slender fingers trailed up and down her bare back.

“You like it.”

“You’re about to make me regret last night.”

He chuckled darkly once more before flipping her onto her back, his leg pressing between hers as he hovered over her, his arms framing her face. “You didn’t seem to have many complaints.”

She shrugged beneath him, rolling her eyes. “I could take it or leave it.”

Crosshair smirked, leaning down so that his lips were pressed against the shell of her ear. “I think you’ll definitely take itagain one more time before we go.”

Iden’s mask of indifference slipped as his fingers slid down her body to find the place that had made her writhe underneath him and leave teeth marks on his shoulder the night before. “I-if you insist,” she stuttered, her fingers raking across the back of his neck.

“Oh darling, I do.”

UNTITLED FIC SMUT SNIPPET

CROSSHAIR x READER NON GENDER

YES! I'm teasing you!!! Especially @haybellewrites

Warning: Slight smutty McSmutterson action. Nothing too graphic, but definite Crosshair smut! NO MINORS!

Word Count: 185

THE EDIBLE TOLD ME TO DO EEET!!!

The grief was too much for you both.

Lying in bed at night...the uncertainty and rising arousal making sleep elusive. Two people alone in the vastness of space, on a dark, silent ship. The distance between you palpable.

“Are...you awake?” he furtively asked with hushed tones in the dark.

“Umhmm.” Intrigued as to why he asked.

Silence.

You lay there in the dark waiting for an answer.

More silence...

...then Crosshairs hand gently smoothing away the hair from your temple.

You immediately embrace him tightly.

He falters for just a beat. Body frozen for what seems like an eternity. Would this scare him away?

Then you feel his arms encircle you, lips upon your cheek...kissing down to your lips.

Unable to hold back any further, you turn your head to meet his lips to yours.

Mouths opening to breathe into the well of one another. Sliding upon each other passionately. Breaths furiously taken in between long heated kisses.

Then parting quickly to pull the clothing from each other's body. Almost ripping the cloth away from bare skin. Occasional moans of longing for skin-to-skin contact....

PLEASE like, comment, and/or REBLOG!

"Bring Me To My Knees" PART 1

Crosshair/Hunter x Reader Non Gendered SMUT++

Dividers by the talented: @saradika and @4ngelic-wh1spers

Word Count: 2.3K

Warning: Star Wars Canon violence, angst, sadness, crying, guilt, stuff blowing up, swearing, kissing, intercourse, heavy petting, hair pulling kink, smutty/lemony content, lovers triangle with Hunter and Crosshair.

FOR CLARITY, THERE IS A HUNTER FLASHBACK SMUT SCENE IN THIS CHAPTER. THE CROSSHAIR SMUT SCENE IS IN CHAPTER 2. Broke this up in 2 chapters because I just couldn't stop writing...and 4K might be too much for one sitting.

*YES! I know Mesh'la is Mando'a speak for beautiful. However, I personally think it sounds pretty sexy when someone uses it while going to Pound Town. I like it better than baby, honey, girl, boy, lover, whatever. My personal kink. If you aren't caught up, there's a whole Tumblr discussion about if the Clones would even use this language. PLEASE just let me have this one word. Thanks.

Explosions and blaster fire filled the air as you, Phee Genoa, and The Batch escaped Mt Tantiss. Wrecker led the charge, firing away and punching imps. Phee behind him with a group of prisoners she freed from the facility. Hunter, his arm around Tech who was barely able to walk, blaster out firing. You and Omega supported Crosshair bringing up the rear of the group.

The Empire attempted to lock down the facility, engaging all doors on every level. Hunter got Tech past them as they started to close.

He turned with Tech in tow to shout, “Y/N, Omega, bring Crosshair! Hurry!!!”

You and Omega would never make it with the slow progress Cross was making. Grabbing Omega and with a healthy heft, you slid her across the highly polished flooring. She barely exited past the threshold just as the doors closed.

The last thing you and Crosshair saw was Omega loudly protesting while Hunter grabbed the back of her tunic to yank her out of the way. And the look of total panic on Hunter’s face.

“Leave me.” Crosshair weakly slumped against the steel hallway wall.

“SHUT UP! Too late for that!!!” You grabbed Cross’ arm and attempted to pull him up.

He refused to move. You were warned he might be difficult.

“GET UP NOW YOU FUCKING MOP!!!” Viciously kicking his upper thigh in heated frustration.

That got his attention. Crosshair’s head flicked up. Anger in his eyes.

You grabbed the front of his tunic with both hands, hefting him up, spitting with rage “I’M NOT DYING HERE! GET UP YOU UNGRATEFUL ASSHOLE!!!”

He managed to stand with his arm around your shoulders. Pulling your blaster. “How do we get out of here?”

“How should I know? Been locked up all this time.”

“KRIFF! Knew I threw the wrong person under the door!!!”

“Didn’t ask YOU to save me.”

You gritted your teeth and shot the control panel to the door the rest of The Batch disappeared through. The doors managed to only open a few feet. You literally stuffed Crosshair into the gap. His protests were muted by the sound of screams and explosions. He got stuck halfway through, then you put a foot in his ass and pushed. He popped through falling into a crouch on the floor.

“You’re INSANE!”

“YES! KEEP MOVING!!!”

Running up to Cross, you grabbed the back of his tunic and pulled him to his feet. Both of you ran across the hangar bay. The Marauder and Phee’s ship were gone. You weren’t upset, they HAD to leave in a hurry. It was total chaos.

You both made a beeline for the first empty Imperial ship available. Entering, you slid into the pilot’s seat and put up the gangplank. Then commenced firing on every non-friendly that approached. Some of the other Imperial ships got caught in the crossfire, exploding dramatically. Crosshair buckled himself into the co-pilot's chair.

As your ship left the hangar, two fighters followed in hot pursuit. You kept the craft low and entered the thick forest, shooting down trees in your path. Crosshair held onto his seat white knuckled.

“You’re going to get us killed!”

“Got any better ideas, Fly Boy? We’re sitting ducks out in the open.”

He shut up and held on.

One ship pulled away from pursuit.

The other followed. You kept firing, making a path to evade your pursuer.

He didn’t last long. One tree you felled, dragged another with it as you passed. It caught its wing, flinging the ship to the forest floor, exploding brightly behind you.

Pulling the craft up out of the forest, you ascended...

...where the other Imperial fighter sat waiting!

Close enough to see its pilot in the cockpit, waiting to open fire.

The end of the line. Crosshair inhaled sharply.

The ship exploded suddenly. And your craft flew through the fiery remains.

“Didn’t think I’d leave you?” Hunter’s voice came over the comm.

You nearly burst into tears of joy. “Oh, THANK STARS!”

“Let’s get out of here! Echo’s sending jump coordinates...” You immediately heard blaster fire over their comm. The transmission broke up.

“HUNTER???”

Static. “...ing to...GO! Can you hea...” More static. Comm went dead. Nothing.

“HUNTER! HUNTER...COME IN!!! CAN YOU HEAR ME???”

Crosshair shot you a horrified glance.

The little bit you could discern, your Sergeant’s orders were to leave the planet immediately. What if they needed help? You couldn’t leave HIM...them behind!

You brought the ship around and could see a craft trailing fire and smoke behind it. Looked to be the Havoc Marauder making its way off world. Several Imperial fighters were gaining on it. Kicking your ship into gear and taking off in their direction. You picked off two and allowed the Marauder to make the jump to hyperspace.

The last ship circled round.

Panicking, locking up, “Where did they go? I don’t have coordinates!”

Crosshair’s terse voice came from the co-pilot's seat, “Pick ANY! We don’t have time!!!”

“But...we...”

“DO IT or we die!” Dark eyes bore into your skull. “I’LL DO IT!!! You make the jump!” He furiously typed something into the craft’s dash.

“Jump...NOW!!!”

The Imperial fighter on your tail, firing.

You sat frozen. Your hand a lead weight on the jump lever.

“DAMMIT!” Crosshair slammed his hand on top of yours, shoving the lever over. The black star-studded sky elongated; bright blue light burst through the windscreen.

You sat staring through the windscreen of the ship, blue blurs whizzing past.

“Y/N?”

A hand suddenly on your shoulder.

“WHAT!” You jumped and snapped upright.

“You...went away for a while...”

Staring at Crosshair’s unreadable expression.

“We’ll find them. Take some time, though.”

Nodding, you relaxed back in the seat. “Yeah, gonna take some doing.”

Handing the soup bowl to Crosshair, he sulked...and refused to eat...again.

“You NEED to eat.”

He sneered.

“Don’t make me regret getting you out of that facility.”

Cross sighed heavily and took the bowl. He STILL wasn't eating, just staring into it. This man was driving you insane...if you didn’t kill him first.

“It’s actually pretty good for a ration packet. Provided you eat it while still warm.”

“Why are you bothering?”

ON YOUR LAST NERVE.

“Why did YOU bother pushing us into hyperspace...if you want to suffer and die so badly?”

Silence.

Suddenly you had the urge to slap the damned bowl out of his hand. “REALLY??? Let your skinny ass STARVE! Ungrateful son-of-a...kriffing...GAH! FUCK!!!”

Your sudden anger sparked something.

Crosshair slowly smirked.

“Knock it off and DRINK YOUR FUCKING SOUP!” Getting up, stalking off, mumbling angrily to yourself...hoping the tiny food galley didn’t have any knives.

Checking up later, you found the bowl empty. Cross slumped in the chair; eyes closed.

To anyone else, it would look like he was napping. You knew better.

You picked up the bowl to take it back to the galley.

“My compliments to the chef.”

You rolled your eyes.

“I meant it.”

“Whatever.”

Cross opened his eyes, aiming for an argument. “It’s a compliment. Take it or leave it.”

“I don’t trust you.”

An unexpectedly hurt expression flickered across his face. “This isn’t about the soup, is it?”

“No genius. I was warned you’re a constant shit stirrer.”

“Well, Hunter was never my biggest fan.”

“It wasn’t Hunter.”

This seemed to surprise Crosshair.

“Echo...he’s a bit of a shit stirrer himself. Takes one to know one.”

Cross raised an eyebrow.

“Oh...and Wrecker thinks you take yourself too seriously. I think his actual words were...he needs to unclench his butt cheeks.”

Raised the other eyebrow.

“But Wrecker was incorrect.”

“Oh?”

“As far as I can tell, you DON’T have an ass.”

Crosshair leaned forward, slight smirk around the edges of his mouth.

“Been looking...have you?”

“I think most people would say you’re just a torso with legs...Toothpick.”

He genuinely smiled at the new nickname.

“More soup?”

“Yes more, Soup.”

Nights were difficult and Crosshair struggled to sleep through. Awakening to hear him working through a nightmare. Sometimes he would mutter, groan, and thrash about, eventually snoring again. This happened several times a night. Other times he would awaken, panting and sweating, trying to remember he was no longer imprisoned on Mt Tantiss.

At first, he turned down your attempts to soothe him. That didn’t last long. It became a habit of you sitting next to his bunk on the metal floor, talking him through it. Eventually, you just crawled into bed and laid there next to him. It was certainly more comfortable than that damned hard floor.

Crosshair’s breathing settled into a regular rhythm. Stars, it was warm and cozy in this bunk. The idea of walking across that cold decking to your own bunk just seemed depressing. Five more minutes and you’d get up.

That didn’t happen. Two minutes in and you passed out cold.

youtube

(You like a song to go with the scene? Please check out this song. It "literally" FUCKS!!!)

"Mmhmmm...”

The deep bass of Hunter’s groan making you wetter as his hard cock slid in and out of you.

“Ohh...fuu...mmm...” Words were difficult when he kissed your neck like this. Whispering sweet things in your ear while gently fucking your brains out.

Laying on your sides, facing each other. One leg thrown over his hips, both of your hands deep in his curls. Grasping them with ferocity. The pain brought him pleasure...

Hunter slid his hand down your back to firmly grip your buttocks and picked up the rhythm of his thrusts.

“Kriff...can’t wait to do this...with you...in our home...all...the...fucking...time...” The last four words he spoke with each luscious stroke of his member.

“Huuunter...” Your eyes rolled back into your head.

“Got...a nice...little planet...just...for us...”

Heat and intensity rising in you.

“You...want...that...too...?”

...sliding in...

You gasp...” Yes...”

“Yeah?” Cajoling you with that sexy fucking voice.

...sliding out...

“YES...”

...sliding in...

“Tell me, Mesh’la.” He’s shuddering.

Your back arches “YES!!!”

Hunter reaches out and caresses your face...

...and you awake with a start. Crosshair had an expression like he’d been caught with his hand in the cookie jar. Pulling back his hand suddenly.

“Wu-what???” He stammered.

Trying to shake off your sleepy arousal...slurring. “Did...YOU jus’ touch...Mah face?”

“WHY are YOU still in my bunk?”

The dream-feeling melting away...your brain having to process the waking world...

“...because...your nightmares... I’m the dumbass...who makes sure you sleep.”

Silence. Crosshair studying your face.

“You’re welcome.”

“Well, I’m NOT having one NOW.”

“Ships cold during the night. Ain’t going nowhere.” You rolled over, giving him your back. Maybe...you could pick that dream back up?

“Fine. You can stay if YOU stop moaning Hunter’s name when you spoon ME!”

You rolled back over shocked.

“Yes, you did.”

“What else did I say...or do?”

Crosshair grinned like he knew too much and rolled over without answering.

Weeks passed as you and Crosshair bickered your way slowly through the galaxy. The Empire tamped down tightly on most of the planets in the system. The Outer Rim while wildly dangerous, seemed mostly untouched and safest.

You both did side jobs to keep yourselves fed while trying comm channels and leaving messages with close contacts about the rest of The Batch’s whereabouts.

Everything seemed to lead to a dead end. Like they just disappeared.

In your heart of hearts, you knew Hunter would NEVER stop looking for you both...even if Cross had his doubts.

The open-air market on some back water Outer Rim moon provided a distraction. The textile stand caught your eye. Beautiful scarves...you picked up a jet black one with fine silver metallic strands running through it.

"Good choice. It compliments your hair." The elderly shop keep stepped from behind a long quilt hanging behind the counter.

"Marv! Are you flirting again?" An older woman approached clearly teasing her husband.

"Now why would I do that when I have you, my sweet Meiloorun? Besides, here's their partner now."

Cross sauntered up to the counter, amused at the comment.

"Hello honey" He teased.

You rolled your eyes, ignoring his "greeting." "Toothpick, what do you think of this scarf?"

"Hmm, not really my style." Cross reached down to pull another scarf from under the pile. "Now this one..."

It was rusty red with fine intermittent broken off-white stripes dispersed through it. Crosshair draped it around his neck. "What do you think?"

The blood drained from your face.

"No..." You dropped the scarf and hurried away from the stand.

Cross caught up to you a few moments later...still wearing that damned scarf.

“Soup!”

You kept walking, angry...and hurt.

"Care to explain?"

Stopping and grabbing the fabric in your fist. "That's HIS scarf...NOT YOURS!

Cross softened. Not a trace of snark on his face. "You WERE in love with Hunter."

"We are STILL in a relationship, Crosshair! Just because Hunter and I are apart doesn't mean that ended."

Crosshair stared into your eyes with such an intensity...it was difficult to keep eye contact.

"So...I complicate those feelings." It wasn't a question. He didn't need to ask.

You noticed his eyes changed from brown to grey in this perfect light. The light of the sun starting to set on this backwater moon. Almost the same color as his brother's eyes.

You sighed deeply, letting go of the scarf. Your hand dropping to rest, open palmed on Crosshair's chest.

He stepped closer, placing his warm hand over yours.

“We’ll find them.”

“How? We’ve been looking...”

He squeezed your hand. “Marv and Mel...they’re a front for The Rebellion. Gathering intel and recruiting volunteers to fight the Empire.”

You looked up at Crosshair with renewed hope.

“They know where we can find Rex. He’ll be able to help us.”

You nodded. So many thoughts going through your head.

Cross took the scarf off and slid it over your head, to rest around your shoulders.

“C’mon Soup, there’s a place around here with those Space Cakes you like. My treat.”

He led the way hugging you closely.
