Hand to Hand

I don't own star wars…

My feet were in the air, I was looking up at the ceiling of my ship and suddenly I was painfully on my back as Scarlet twisted my arm and pinned me to the floor, her fist suddenly inches from my face as our practice knife clattered to the ground.

"And that Aiden is how you handle a vibro-knife attack…" she said firmly, smiling down at me in her workout clothes. In fact the same ones she used for her pole dancer aerobics: I wonder how the girls would feel about installing one on the ship…

…For exercise purposes of course…

I might have mentioned that I found myself in a lot of situations that required me to fight in a more 'hand-to-hand' scenario, and being the concerned (sort of) girlfriend that she was Scarlet offered to give me a few tips and pointers when put into an unarmed combat situation. And while I was usually happy to have her on top of me I couldn't help but feel slightly regretful as once again I found myself easily bested and slammed on my back…

Baleen and Short-round watched absently from a corner of the hold as Scarlet tightened her grip on my hand and pulled me to my feet; Short-round was apparently recording this. I was in my long pants and shirtless but now I sort of regretted it, I suddenly wanted something to help pad the pain I was continuing to feel on my own floor.

"Now. I want to you try it on me…" she said patiently, taking the thin piece of scrap metal we were using for a training vibro-knife and holding it at the ready, "Okay, ready?"

"Sure." I said, nodding confidently and holding my hands out. She came at me, but before I could try her disarming hold she 'slashed' my stomach open and tripped me to the floor. "Okay never mind…" I groaned as I felt her arm pin me at my neck.

"Aiden this is important. Take it seriously!" she replied, sounding both angry and concerned.

"I don't really want to suddenly end up on my back and in pain Scarlet…" I replied, letting her help me back up. "Troopers weren't exactly trained for close combat of Dromund Kaas…"

"I was…" Baleen said knowingly, interrupting us briefly, "Vibro-blades and double-bladed staffs…"

"Not helping." I scowled at Baleen but she gave me a very half-hearted smile, "Let's just…" I sighed, I was just a little angry with myself, "Let's do it again. Because you're right it's important." I said to Scarlet, taking up the position again, "I've been caught without my blasters far too often to say otherwise."

Annnnnd… on my back again…

"How the hell do you keep doing that?!" I groaned feebly, feeling the aches and pains throb painfully through my body as she pinned me to the floor again.

"All SIS agents are given rudimentary training in hand-to-hand combat by Jedi masters…" Scarlet replied, a little concerned that she so easily took me down. "You are really bad at this…" she replied honestly, but apparently as apologetic as possible.

"Thank you for the confidence Scarlet…" I groaned my pain-filled reply and sat up from the floor, "Any other advice you'd like to give me?"

"For one thing you physically telegraph your attacks…" she said softly, "I think subconsciously you're trying to 'look good'. Stop that. Get in quick and painful…" she grabbed my hand holding the 'weapon' and held it close to her body, "But if we can't break that habit maybe we can use it… try to make the focus on your weapon instead of the rest of you."

"I'll try…" I smiled, "But you're just so attentive…" I whispered longingly while she blushed.

"FOCUS." She said with firm conviction, but still, she couldn't hide her smile. "Look… watch me."

"Always do." I replied and she smacked me playfully on the cheek. "I know I know…" I replied waving it off, sometimes I just couldn't help myself.

She took our practice knife and held it at the ready and I prepared myself again, "Okay. Now…" she held it as if she was ready to attack with it. "Your eyes are immediately drawn to the knife… it's the most dangerous part of your opponent right now…

"Are you sure that's not your charm?" I quipped lovingly.

But she ignored it and pressed on, "But you do not have to attack with it first…" she played at swinging at me and I went to grab at her wrist as she taught me, only to stop mid-swing and slam her fist into my jaw sending me stumbling back as Baleen and Short-round groaned in sympathetic pain as I felt the 'knife' on my neck.

"You focused on the knife." She said firmly, "But you want to focus on me… you have to be observant in close combat especially when the other person is armed and you are not… but there is one more trick I can instill in you."

"And that would be?" I asked calmly, getting slowly to my feet as the throbbing pain in my body increased.

"Most important of all when you're back up against a tough foe, remember to 'cheat'." She said confidently, "Low blows, bite, pull hair, pull lekku. Nobody expects you to do it so it's always helpful… I imagine when you fought people unarmed it didn't come to mind."

"Actually when I fought Blackjaw Gryst the trandoshan, it did…" I said, remembering the one-sided slug out I had with him on tattooine nearly a month ago. Then I promptly remembered the pain from doing it, "The guy has balls of durasteel it really hurt…"

"Okay…" she laughed lightly, rubbing her lekku slightly in embarrassment, "Aiden you do know that reptiles like trandoshans have 'hemipenises' right? His genitals are inside his body and protected by scales."

I stared at her long and hard for a moment, and my mouth gaped slightly, "…A what?" I asked a little skeptically.

She blushed slightly, "A… it's like a sheathe inside them. They're pretty smooth otherwi-"

"How and why do you know that?" I asked, a little concerned and staring at her blankly.

She blushed again and looked to Baleen and Short-round watching her with surprising interest. "I just do." She added lamely, "I think that's enough for now Aiden… you're looking a little bruised."

I grunted at the sudden stiffness I felt all over my body. With the exception of the one place, I would approve of being stiff right now. "Yeah. Thanks, Scarlet…" we both headed out of the hold together, my hand slipping approvingly down her back towards her shapely rear in her tight workout pants. "I'm going to have a shower. Would you like to join me?" I asked casually, giving her fleshy butt a loving squeeze, hoping she'd say yes.

When in space, which is where we were, 'showers' were sort of limited to the use of sonic refreshers, not nearly as arousing as a body in water but it did give off a sort of massage like feeling.

Scarlet moaned adoringly at my touch, but a sudden change came over her face and she suddenly slapped my hand away. "You know Aiden…" she turned to face me, pressing me against the wall with her body and gazing lovingly into my eyes, "…You need motivation…"

"Wait what?" I asked surprised as she suddenly pulled away from my hands and caressed her body.

"Well… why reward you with a treat when you keep doing so poorly…" she said teasingly, softly moaning as she caressed her body before me, "So… until you can beat me in hand to hand…" she then opened and closed her hands at me as if waving my goodbye, "Keep your hands to yourself…" she said coolly, before walking off to the kitchen.

"Oh, that is evil!" I whined in a painful hiss after her. Laughing and crying at the same time as I followed her into the kitchen to find her, Yura and Milky suddenly talking animatedly, "Are you a secret sith?" I teased dramatically, "That's the most evil thing you ever said to me!" Yura and Milky suddenly looked apologetic, but stern as they turned their collective gazes at me, and suddenly like the rakghoul plague I realized that the infection had spread to them as well. "Oh no…"

"Sorry, Aiden…" Yura said apologetically, seductively sitting down and crossing her shapely legs before me as she crossed her arms looking strict. "But I think Scarlet has the right idea. You do well when properly motivated. So until somebody…" and she glared at me firmly, "Beats Scarlet nobody is getting any…"

Milky fidgeted in place but she too nodded and sat next to Yura, frowning like a parent punishing her child, "Yes. So no playtime until you finish your homework." She said, not meeting my eyes.

"Oh fu-…" I stopped myself, I didn't need to hear the running gag right now. "Okay…" I sighed audibly, "I'm going to go shower…"

The girls remained silent as I left and I suddenly felt… empty. I shouldn't, but I did… even as I lingered in the sonic refresher letting it do its work I was in no hurry to leave it. I could only do one thing, practice…

Fighting I mean not… never mind I'm moving on.

Quickly putting on clothes I made my way back to the hold to find Baleen and Short-round still there apparently discussing modes for her heavy repeater. "Baleen I need you to be my sparring partner so I can beat Scarlet…"

She blinked at me, processing my request apparently. "Alright." She said finally, getting to her feet and towering over me. She wasn't wearing her chest armor or her greaves, just a tight-fitting bodysuit in fact the only piece of armor she wore was the crew's red armguard. "You do realize however that I have a completely different style of close combat right?"

"I just need to practice on someone." I replied, "And Short-round isn't exactly a challenging option."

Suddenly there was a crackle of electricity as Short-round held up an odd cylindrical tube, "Homemade taser." He replied simply, while continuing to fiddle with his current trinket.

"Okay, he's not a fair option…" I noted, wondering briefly if I could get one of those, "Come on Baleen…"

"It's just…" she began, but sighed dejectedly, "Alright if you insist, just say when…" she added, striking a combative stance.

I struck first, she struck second… and the fight was over and I was on my back. My head rang like a bad hangover. "Gods it's like being punched by Milky!" I hissed, sitting up and rubbing my jaw, "What the hell Baleen?"

Baleen shrugged sheepishly and easily pulled me back to my feet, "I told you, different styles. Scarlet needs to be more mobile, she doesn't have the strength behind her punches like I do. I more of a bruiser, she's more of a… scrapper?" strangely, she ruffled my hair as if in apology. "You can practice on me as much as you want but it's sort of like training for a pazaak tournament when it's actually sabaac…"

I sighed, sort of understanding her reasoning, "Well crap…" I mumbled quietly, "…Did you just knock some sense into me?" I asked, giving her a faint smile, trying to lighten the mood.

She chuckled, ruffling my hair again and sitting back down across Short-round, "Sure why not…" I rubbed my jaw for just a moment longer before making my way through the ship back to my room and dropping onto my bed. Sighing to myself I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

The next round of training went only slightly better than the last time, I managed to stay on my feet a little longer but inevitably I was once more on my back with a woman on top of me and I was not having fun.

"Wow he is really bad at this…" Yura noted out loud as this time it was Yura and Milky who showed up to watch.

"That looked like it hurt…" Milky noted, fidgeting slightly as she resisted the urge to hug me and take my pain away.

"Okay really?" I grumbled, slowly getting to my feet as my body screamed at me, "Why don't you girls try?"

Milky gave me a smile, "Because I could throw her across the room…" she said, crossing her muscular arms under her wondrous chest.

"Okay yeah so you can crush things in your hands, but that doesn't mean Scarlet can't beat you." I replied letting my bones pop back into place, "What if some Mandalorian swordsmen attack us? In fact…" I glared at them, then smiled rather knowingly, "Why don't you two go a couple of rounds with Scarlet? Give me a break…"

Milky rolled her eyes and stretched her arms high above her head as she approached, jutting her breasts forward as I watched achingly. What the hell it had only been a day…

Milky smiled as she stood across from Scarlet, "Let's humor him a little…" she said fondly, "He's just so sensitive sometimes…"

I have to admit, there was something remarkable satisfying to see Milky on her back with Scarlet on top of her. Milky stared disbelievingly up at Scarlet her mouth open slightly in shock, "…How did you do that?"

"See! It's not just me!" I replied.

"Okay to be fair in an actual combat scenario Milky would curb-stomp Scarlet." Yura replied bluntly, "If Milky didn't have to hold back Scarlet would be a smear on the wall…"

I then gestured to Scarlet as she helped Milky back to her feet, "Well then you have a shot…" I replied, "Since you seem to have a monopoly on advice."

Yura shook her head, her lekku bouncing back and forth as she laughed, "Hell no I know better…"

"Okay then don't judge…" he smiled.

"No…" Milky interrupted, arching her back and giving me another stretching show as she tried to lessen the pain, "I think Yura should give it a shot…" she shoved Yura forward toward Scarlet and leaned against me, purring slightly as I instinctively began rubbing her back.

Yura sighed with a shrug, "Fine let's just get this over with…" then striking up an echani fighting stance, I remembered back to a time when life was simpler and I beat a gamorrean in a pit fight. Then I remembered that Yura had an inkling of how to fight unarmed.

But unfortunately, I was distracted by something soft and attentive. Milky grabbed one of my hands and slipped it not so subtly down her short-shorts, purring louder and louder as I began petting her in earnest. "What happened to no sex until I beat Scarlet?" I breathed softly in her ear as she began gasping her delight.

"This isn't sex it's heavy petting…" she moaned softly, giving me her bedroom eyes and riling me up, "Please don't stop…" she begged quietly as the sounds of Scarlet and Yura's mock fight began.

I mockingly groaned impatiently, "I can't say no to those eyes…" I said softly, "Or these tits…" I squeezed her from behind and she moaned happily, smiling at me as I began playing with her in earnest. "I do have to take good care of my pet after all…" I suckled at her neck from behind, tenderly taking my time with her body as she squirmed against me, "It would be awful if I didn't give you enough attention…"

She gasped and quivered as I thrust into her pussy with my fingers, feeling her natural juices flow onto my hand and stain her pants. I felt her big soft ass press against my increasing erection and I pulled her closer, feeling her soft erotic against me. Suddenly without warning her body dropped against me. She came, hard and quiet, sharply taking in air as her body surrendered to her orgasm and her legs gave out. Her mouth opened in a silent scream as I took my Milky covered hand and shoved my fingers into her mouth, feeling her tongue instinctively lick my hand clean.

"Hey! No Milky time!" Yura suddenly shouted as Milky whimpered against me, still licking my fingers but now more intently as if afraid Yura would separate us. Which she would.

"Oh come on Yura I…" but I stopped, Scarlet was on the ground with Yura standing over her, "…How the fuck did you do that?!"

"You would know if you weren't finger-deep in a pussy!" she scolded approaching us and glaring at Milky, "Bad pussy…" she said firmly. Milky however apparently didn't care, eagerly continuing to suckle my fingers.

"Okay no, seriously how did you do that?" I said, pulling away from Milky. She whimpered as my fingers left her mouth and I pulled Scarlet to her feet. "Did you go easy on her?"

Scarlet rubbed her head trying to lessen the pain, "Ugh. No… Yura you actually know Echani combat styles?" she said disbelievingly. "Ugh my head…"

Yura shrugged dismissively, "I haven't used them in a while, but I know a little." Then she added a little coolly, "I guess you never forget."

I sighed, "Well fine… let's just call it a day…" I mumbled, "It's not like I'm going to be a master close combatant in just a few days." I stared at Yura, she seemed a little lost at the moment. "Yura… I want to talk to you."

Milky, reading the mood sighed sadly and wrapped her arm around Scarlet, "Let's get you some ice…" and together they headed off to the kitchen as Yura sighed impatiently.

"Let's get some privacy…" I said, leading her to my room. Once we entered I turned off the camera and secured the door behind her. She stood just away from the bed, her arms crossed and looking very annoyed. "Are you alright?" I asked, she had seemed aggressive and confrontational.

"Yeah I'm fine… just some bad memories." She said looking at me, "So what do you want to talk about?"

"Well for one thing where did you learn Echani combat stances…" I said but seeing the look on her face, I immediately pushed it away. I could tell that conversation was not something she wanted to talk about, and I didn't want to force her into it. I didn't want to force her into anything.

"Aiden…" she began hesitantly but I held up my hand.

"No never mind it's not important…" I replied, seeing a look of surprise on her face, "I'm just going to assume you watch a lot of martial art action vids when I'm not looking."

She seemed genuinely surprised at my opinion on the matter and gave me a hesitant smile. "Well now I feel bad…" she said playfully, approaching me carefully and placing a hand on my chest as she gave me an appreciative kiss on the cheek. "I sure wish I could make it up to you. But somebody didn't beat Scarlet…"

"You beat Scarlet…" I replied, gently kissing her neck as she gasped at my touch.

"B-but you didn't…" she replied firmly, "I was just… Ugh!!" she quivered as she felt my hands wrap around her and pull her close, carefully rubbing her bare skin. "A-Aiden you're not being fair…"

"What did Scarlet say? About being back up?" I mumbled quietly, gently leading her to the bed and dropping her on top of it, "Cheat? I think she told me to cheat…" I kissed her and she pulled my head towards her lips trying to keep me there. "This is me cheating…" I replied lovingly, straining against her pants.

"That's not what she meant…" Yura laughed, but helped me in slipping off her pants, "Context is necessary…"

"Okay… I want you. Right now." I replied, burying my hand inside her and playing with her folds. "Legs spread and ready to accept my seed…" I felt her essence increase as I said the words, she was ready and she knew it, "And you know… as my slave you have to do what I say." We laughed lightly together at that, it's not like I ever enforced that piece of logic on her, ever. In fact, it was usually her who had to remind everyone that at the end of the day she was the actual slave since she had such obvious control over me.

"Well I can't deny you 'master'…" she teased, forcing me onto my back and stripping off the rest of her clothing before helping me with my own. "Even if I spoil you too much…" I carefully grabbed her face in my hands and pulled her back to my lips as she pressed her naked body onto my own, feeling her pussy against my cock as I tenderly wrestled my tongue into her mouth.

For a good long while, it was just me and her kissing, caressing, and stroking her body on top of me as she ground against me. Strangely I was content with that… but thankfully she wasn't. her hand suddenly wrapped around my hardened length and began stroking…

"…How do you feel about handjobs?" she asked suddenly, smiling at me knowingly as her soft gentle hands worked their magic.

"If I wanted one I'd do it myself?" I replied a little hesitant but none the less enjoying her attempts. "Personally I never saw the appeal… oh shit!" I hissed as she carefully squeezed me, rubbing her thumb around my skin as her hand moved up and down, "F-fuck okay that's different…" I gasped, slamming my head onto the pillow as she rubbed one out. "S-shit Yura not on the bed I just washed the sheets…"

"Then hold it…" she hissed cruelly in my ears, "I'm not done playing with it…" I tried, I tried so hard by holy shit she was an expert. I suddenly couldn't take it and grabbed her hand to stop her but she distracted me by kissing me. She cheated… not fair.

I released my load and it dripped onto my sheets as she pulled at my length to cajole what was left in my balls. I hissed angrily at my own weakness. "Damn it… we're in space! It'll take forever for my sheets to wash."

"Well you could bunk with us…" she smiled, staring at my ropes of semen on the bed. "But there isn't that much room, you'll have to cuddle up with one of us on the beds."

I scowled at my mess, but I did like the idea. Rolling her onto her back and smiling down at her I probed at her pussy, ready to go again. "Well, that does sound like a good idea…" I whispered, kissing her as I thrust inside, she moaned at my two-pronged attack and instinctively wrapped around me with her legs and her arms, pulling me closer into her as I planted myself deep into her, steadily thrusting as I had so many times before.

Then a holo-com began to ring and I swore under my breath, I began to reach over to my bedside table to grab it, stopping our fun as I was about to answer, but Yura yanked it from my hand and tossed it across my room where it clattered off the wall and to the floor.

"You're busy." She said coldly, "Keep going…" I buried myself into her, taking in her natural vanilla scent, squeezing her breasts and tasting her as I pinned her to my bed and claimed everything about her. "Fuck Aiden why are you only good with your hands when you're touching us?" she laughed gasping for breath as she began to shiver beneath me.

"I'm pinning you now aren't I?" I laughed, and feeling her twitch around my length I slammed deep into her and fired, kissing her passionately as my load flooded her womb. "Feels like I won that time…" I breathed softly, lying down on top of her and offering no escape.

"Damn it shut up…" she laughed, rubbing my back just as the com began to ring again on the floor. "…Should we get that?"

I mumbled annoyed, and quickly checked my drawer, "Family com is there, Newt's is there, it's not Scarlet…" I cursed and pulled out of her, making yet another mess as my seed flowed from her and she grunted angrily at the separation. "Shit it's our business com…" I wandered over to the com on the floor as she tried to keep as much of me inside her as she could. Although I didn't see the point I already had to wash my sheets.

I turned it on to find Urai-ken staring back at me, "Hey. We are on our way. We're just taking the scenic route."

He waved it off, "It's fine. I was just checking in to confirm and…" suddenly he blushed as he looked over my shoulder, "I uh… I can see you're busy." He said nervously, politely looking away as Yura displayed herself uncaringly to him, he clearly realized what he had called into "I'll call back, Oh… and Yura, Torga is open to talk about the funding…" he finished quickly, "Later…" he signed off and I turned to Yura who looked away avoiding my gaze.

"What about funding?" I scowled at her, "Yura?"

"So… I told you about getting a new ship…" she said slowly, as I approached her. "Well you're right, they are expensive…"

"You did not ask Torga for a loan!" I said, quickly jumping to conclusions, "Yura he's a decent sentient for a hutt, but he's still a hutt! What did you do!?"

"I didn't ask him for a loan, I asked him to sponsor us for the Hunter's Gathering." She said quickly, reaching into her own drawer and pulling out the Contract com, "The grand prize is a custom corvette!" she said, opening the com and showing me a very sleek-looking ship, "More than enough room for us! It's just a couple of sizes bigger than the Rebel and it's more than capable!"

"Yura you did it again!" I shouted at her nervously, "You're signing us up for something without talking to us!"

"Look we're just going to talk about it!" she replied, turning around and placing the com back in the drawer, bending over slightly to show me her curvy blue rear, still dripping a little of my essence between her legs. "I promise if we don't want to do it we won't- Aiden!" she shouted as I pinned her to the wall, already probing her tight butthole as I reached around and caressed her breasts.

"Do you remember what happened last time?" I said reproachfully, "I think I need to remind you…"

"O-oh wait a MINUTE!!!" she hissed as I buried myself in her ass. It wasn't going to be nearly as painful as last time but I'll be damn if she walked out of my room without knowing exactly what it felt like to be a pain in my ass, "A-aiden, oh Force!!" she hissed, cuming almost immediately after a few strokes inside her.

"You need a lesson!" I hissed, pressing her firmly against the dresser as I emphasized each word with a deep and steady thrust, "You need to talk to us!"

"I-I'm sorry!" she screamed, cuming hard again as I forced her to her tiptoes and pinned her in place, "I-I'm sorry! Punish me!!" she squealed happily and I did. I kept fucking her ass as hard and mercilessly as I could. Even if it was obviously not as painful as it once was. Let's be honest I just wanted to fuck her ass… it had been a while.

Squeezing her tightly by firmly wrapping my arms around her, I slammed deep into her ass and fired another load. She screamed her release to the ceiling as I pinned her tightly in place, feeling her squirm and tremble as her body tried to escape her pleasure. "Force you're so tight…" I hissed sucking her neck as she came down from her pleasure high, thrusting slightly inside her as if more than willing to start again even though my body was saying no. "Fuck…" I nibbled at her lekku; she always felt amazing, but recently it felt like her body was made for me. She was just a perfect fit...

We stood there gasping for breath and finally I pulled out of her, but still held her tightly, "Seriously Yura… just talk to me alright? No sudden bombshells…"

"…Okay…" she said finally, leaning back against me and kissing me over her shoulder, "Okay I'm sorry… I just saw an opportunity and laid the ground work… if you really don't want to do the Gathering I imagine we could always hit an Imperial dockyard and steal something…"

"Let's just talk to Torga first…" I replied, and was about to sit on my bed while holding her but then remembered my mess, "Oh right… want to help me with my sheets?"

She laughed, and kissed me again as she began slipping on her clothes, "Yeah fine… grab an end."

After we put my sheets into the sonic wash we found Scarlet and Milky talking animatedly in the kitchen, they glared at us for a moment before Milky absently sniffed the air and focused entirely on Yura. They seemed to exchange a silent conversation that ended in an indignant Milky cracking her knuckles at me…

I sighed, accepting my fate as Scarlet's realized it as well, "Okay… let us adjourn to the hold." I said, ready for another round of 'training'. At the end of the day my sheets were in the wash, Milky and Scarlet were mad at me for cheating and sleeping with Yura, and I was thoroughly put through my paces but at least I was improving…

It's a shame the couch in the kitchen did nothing for my bruised and sore body, or give me a good night's sleep. Why the hell didn't I just sleep in the Kolto tank?
