The negotiations went much better than I expected and I'm very glad about that. Five years was more time than I had expected and while right now, it was not a definite number, it was still enough to know that I would have plenty of time. More than enough in fact, if everything went well and to plan. Something I didn't quite think would happen, but nonetheless, these were things I could work around after the Green Lanterns were dealt with.
"So, those are the Viltrumites?" Caiera asked, entering into our bedchambers, I myself reclining in the little bathhouse that the Red King had built into this floor. Say what you will about the brat for a king, he certainly knew how to live lavishly.
"What'd you think of them?" I called back, watching the door open and instep, Caiera, she disrobing and walking into the water.
Moving to the side opposite myself, Caiera lowered herself down. It was a little shallow on her side, her breasts not quite submerged and floating just upon the surface. "They're strong, especially the man, Nolan."
"He is." I agreed. "But only slightly more so than Korg. If you were to use the Old Power, you would be able to outmatch him quite easily." The biggest problem Caiera would face is her lack of endurance. The Old Power was quite draining upon her stamina and so, she often preferred to use it in short bursts rather than sustaining it. If she did, she couldn't last very long.
Humming, Caiera laid her back against the floor, looking up to the ceiling. "I was surprised when I received news that you would be hosting negotiations here on Sakaar." She said, I raised a brow in question despite her not being able to see it. "I had not thought you the type to negotiate."
That earned a chuckle from me. "You're not wrong." I agreed quite easily. "But I have to buy some time to focus all my efforts upon the Green Lanterns rather than them and the Coalition. A peace treaty was the best for this point in time."
"But it's not permanent." Caiera correctly summarised.
The two of us descended into silence once more, enjoying the warmth of the water. Though there was a noticeable tension in the room, I could see Caiera looking at me out of the corner of her eyes. Neither of us made a move towards one another though, just remaining where we were and waiting for the other to make the first move.
Like I had expected, our little game was far from over.
"You know," Caiera spoke up once more. "I never quite told you that I appreciate you admitting the truth." The truth? About what? "It made seeing Anissa that much easier for me, knowing that you would have more than one woman beforehand, rather than it simply being revealed at that moment."
"Would you have been jealous?" I questioned amusedly, knowing that was far from the truth. There was no love between me and Caiera, not yet, perhaps in the future but who could say for certain.
Caiera shook her head. "More annoyed."
That made me laugh. "Then far be it from me to anger a woman like you, Caiera the Oldstrong." I meant that with respect as well, something Caiera picked up on. There were very few people who had earned my respect in this world, Caiera being a part of that small group of people. "But you are mistaken, I have not claimed Anissa yet."
"Yet?" Caiera repeated, lips turning upwards. "What has stopped you? It's not like you to not take something that takes your fancy."
She knew me so well, that's what you needed in a woman. A girl that understood the type of person you are and the desires you had. "Oh, believe me, I have every intention of doing so in the future." I wanted to see what my children could be like, even though I had no intention of being a father at this point in time.
A child born between me and Caiera, a Kryptonian-Shadow Person. One born with the powers of a Kryptonian and possibly even the Old Power. With power like that, how strong would such a child become?
And then a child between myself and Anissa, part Kryptonian-Viltrumite. What changes would occur from such a union? It was things like these that kept things interesting and having sex with those two women wasn't going to be such a difficult thing for me to do.
"But I have simply been busy. First with ensuring the Viltrumites subservience, then with delegating and explaining the tasks to Korg and Beta Ray Bill. It has honestly been quite a busy time for me." I explained, a little frustrated with the whole debacle taking place.
"And not in the way you want it to be." Caiera made a move, something that instantly caught my attention. Yet she was moving towards the steps, walking out of the pool once more. The sight of those drops of water trailing down her grey skin, over the curve of her ass and down on her long legs was a beautiful sight to behold.
"No, it isn't." Fighting and sex, conquering and battle, those were things I enjoyed. Even if I had the intelligence to be one of the brightest minds in the world, it just wasn't who I was deep down. There were plenty of people in the world who had talent in certain areas, but no drive or like for that very subject. Who knows how many great scientists or athletes there could have been if they simply had the drive to excel in those areas, rather than settle for mediocrity in others.
I was one of those people.
The mind of a genius but the desires of a simple man. I make no apology for that fact, it was just who I was. In a way, that made life more interesting and much more fun as well. As a genius, you were constantly looking to the future, it was such a draining thing to do. But living in the moment, was so much more enjoyable. There was nothing more in the moment than a battle or sex.
"What are you doing?" I wondered, watching her head inside to our bedchambers. The door was open, revealing her reaching out for a communicator.
Tilting my head to one side, I contented myself to wait to see what she would do while enjoying the view of her naked body on full display. Another reason I had come to Sakaar was to also be with Caiera once more, a night of pleasurable sensations to leave me satisfied for a little while to come.
As Caiera made her way back into the pool, door closing behind her, I rose a brow. A brow that rose even higher when she made her way directly towards me, sitting directly upon my lap, very aware of the effect her body had upon my own as she brushed against my hardness.
Normally I would be content with this because it meant Caiera broke first, leaving me the victor in this continuous game of ours. Except it was very obvious by the smile and shine in her eyes that there was something more happening. Yet I wasn't going to spoil my surprise that Caiera had purposefully not revealed to me, so I simply rested my hands upon her ass, feeling the firm yet supple flesh in my hands. Using them as handholds to bring her closer, both our erogenous zones rubbing against one another.
The pleasurable sensations that came from this, certainly lowered our inhibitions a little, she latching onto my lips with her own. Our breath was heavy as we pushed against one another, her hands pushing against my chest to force us apart. As she did, I brought her lower hips even closer, the tip of my cock slipping into her lower lips before popping back out, Caiera's head falling back as a moan escaped her lips.
She was a very sensitive woman I had come to learn, something that I always took advantage of.
But before I could do so, the door to our bathhouse opened and I turned. There, stood confused was Anissa who open seeing our current position, quickly realised what was going and why she was called. I myself also connected the dots very quickly and looked to Caiera, whose smug smile was very arousing.
"So," pushing her away, Caiera floating upon the surface of the water as I stood up fully in the pool, leaving only my waste submerged. "You realised how outmatched you were on your own and decided to call for help."
The taunt only made Caiera's smile widen, she swam back to me. As she did, she too rose up, her breasts trailing up my abdomen and up to my chest, both arms wrapping around my shoulders. "Or perhaps I simply decided to take the initiative where you were so clearly unwilling to do so." She whispered in my ear, both of us turning to see a naked Anissa making her way in the pool with confident steps.
That confidence wouldn't last long, I would make sure of that. I hadn't forgotten her betrayal and I had every intention of making that clear, that smug little look on her face was going to be wiped off her face very soon.
What did catch me off-guard was Caiera's openness to the whole thing. I had admitted openly to avoid any misunderstandings that I would be having a harem and that Caiera was just the first of many to come. Usually though, women shouldn't be so open to that idea, right? Well, I certainly wasn't going to complain about Caiera's openness to the whole thing.
Wrapping one arm around, Caiera's waist, I brought her even closer, kissing her deeply. I'll say this honestly, Caiera at this point in time was becoming my favourite. Caiera returned it with equal fervour, as Anissa came right up to us.
Which is when my hand lashed out quicker than she could react, fingers wrapping and digging into her throat. Caiera and I broke apart, the gasping and choking sounds of Anissa filling the bathhouse as I kept my gaze looking upon the woman in my arms, she matching my gaze with her own.
"Anissa betrayed me," I told her, Caiera not tearing her gaze away from mine. "She was part of the group that tried to kill me, leading to my crash landing upon Sakaar." Realisation dawned upon Caiera at that moment, but she never once turned to look upon Anissa, even as I lifted the woman out of the water, her clawing and slapping at my hands in an attempt to breathe.
My attack had been so sudden that she hadn't even been able to store any breath in her lungs. That meant at this very moment, as I embraced Caiera close to my chest, Anissa was slowly dying.
"Is that going to stop you?" Caiera pressed and I chuckled shortly.
"From taking her?" I asked rhetorically, and just as Anissa's body started to become limp I released my grip, she fell into the pool. The sudden rush of water that entered her lungs must have jerked her to full consciousness once more as she burst out of the water sputtering for air. "No. She came here and stripped naked knowing full well what I was going to do to her. It's just her mistake to assume that I had forgotten what she had done."
Gripping hold of Anissa's hair, I drove her back down under the water before she had the chance to actually gather much in the way of air to her lungs. Certainly not enough to avoid death in a few minutes. I had become very good at understanding the Viltrumite's capability of storing oxygen from my numerous fights against them.
So her thrashing was very much a real, desperate emotion as I put the fear of death into her.
All the while I kept my gaze upon Caiera. "Does that bother you?"
