Quid Pro Quo

[A/N: This chapter has my first shot at a semi r18 scene let me know what you think. I've sectioned it off in case you don't want to read it]

By the time I was finished making dinner, she had gotten out of the shower wearing the clothes I had left for her. I had to admit there was a certain charm to a woman who was wearing your clothes. She was currently wearing one of my oversized t-shirts tucked into one of my lounge shorts that could be mistaken as boxers but she pulled all this off surprisingly well.

I had to admit it's true when people say a beautiful girl could really make even a burlap sack look fashionable. The dish I made was Spaghetti Bolognese with a side of salad and garlic bread. She seemed to really enjoy it which made me happy to see a genuine smile on her face.

After we finished eating, I asked if she wanted to go get some new clothes that didn't consist of the purple swimsuit she was wearing when she arrived. But she said she was too tired which made sense since it had to have been a long and stressful day for her. So, we decided to just rest on the couch I turned on the Bluetooth speaker for some background noise. It was pretty late and I knew she was already tired so I decided to get straight to the point. I turned to Starfire and asked something I already partially knew the answer to,

"Starfire what are your goals for life, what do you dream of?" She seemed surprised by my question but her surprise soon turned to a look of determination.

"I want to free my planet from the rule of the Citadelians," she said with a fire in her eyes that matched her flame-like hair.

"I see" Seeing me nod in approval she turned the question to me.

"What about you what are your goals, what are your dreams?" To her question, I answered without hesitation

"I dream of having true freedom; I want to explore this world this universe with companions I can truly trust." This had been my goal ever since I arrived in this new world.

"I see that is an admirable dream to have"

"So is yours even more so than mine… so listen I have a proposal to make. How about we each help the other to achieve their dream." When said this Starfire's eyes widened

"Are y- you're serious, aren't you?"

"Very"

"It would be extremely dangerous we could both die"

"I'll quote a saying from a philosopher that has become something of modus operandi for me 'Let life be beautiful like summer flowers and death like autumn leaves'"

"What does that mean"

"Basically it's a means to cherish the time we have while we're alive and not to fear death as it's an essential part of the cycle of nature."

"But- "

"Listen a dream is not something one can achieve without taking a few risks"

"I see," she said her eyes staring intently into my violet ones as if she was trying to take a look into the depths of my soul. Realizing how we were now sitting close enough that our knees were touching.

"So how do we seal the deal," I asked staring back into her eyes that shined like two emeralds. I saw a few different emotions in them but it seemed anticipation won out, as we slowly closed the rest of the distance between us.

Light R18 Scene Start

Smelling a fiery sweet scent, I suddenly looked down at her lips and let instinct take over pressing my lips to hers. We started off with light kisses before they slowly grew more intense. We sucked on each other's lips for over a minute before gradually separating only to be drawn back together like magnets this time with our tongues added to the equation.

Our tongues began dueling for dominance as I placed my hands on her hips pulling her as close as possible. While her hands grabbed handfuls of my shirt. As our tongues continued to entangle with one another I picked her up and put her on my lap. Where she immediately started grinding on me while my hands sunk into her round ass.

She suddenly broke from our kiss a moan escaping from her lips with a silver thread being the only thing still connecting us together. Feeling myself getting worked up I immediately closed the distance resealing our lips. I untucked her shirt placing one hand under it, rubbing her waist slowly making my way from her abs to her ribs.

I felt a spot on her shorts becoming wet as she continued to grind on me while we made out. Not able to resist any longer I took a handful of her boobs and started to play with them. Eventually her moans started to come at shorter and shorter intervals so I pinched both of her nipples and pulled on them slightly.

She suddenly sucked in a breath of air letting out a gasp and I felt the spot on her shorts get even wetter. I placed a few kisses on her neck then and a last one on her forehead. As she rested her head on my shoulder still trying to catch her breath.

End R18

A little while later her breathing became more even and I realized she had fallen asleep. So, I picked her up and carried her princess-style towards my bedroom. As soon I put her down and laid down next to her, she snuggled close to me resting her head on my chest, and went back to sleep. As I lay my head on my pillow, I started to replay the events of the day. Today had exceeded my expectations and if everything went accordingly, I would have myself a powerful ally.

Because if these few months in this world had taught me anything it was that I need someone I could fully trust someone who would watch my back while I was watching theirs. It would also be good if I could have someone whom I could truly share my secrets with. 'Let's not rush this.' Sighing I brought myself out of my thoughts leaning down I kissed her forehead and soon followed her example and fell asleep.
