His body felt heavy yet refreshed, the deep aches from the brutal fight against Darwin and Subject Zero now reduced to faint echoes. The pod hissed open with a gentle pneumatic sound, cool air brushing against his bare chest.
A familiar figure stood beside him, clipboard in hand, scanning the holographic readouts floating above his pod.
"Welcome back, Julian" Aris Thorne said with a small smirk, her messy blonde hair even more disheveled than usual. Dark circles still framed her sharp blue-gray eyes, but there was a spark of genuine relief in them.
Julian sat up slowly, muscles flexing under his scarred skin. "How long was I out?"
"Six days," Aris replied, stepping closer to check the neural interface ports on his neck. "You healed faster than expected. That new Regeneration skill from Beatrix really is something else."
Julian scanned the room briefly before asking, "The others… how are they?"
Aris smiled softly, setting her clipboard down. "They're all fine. Emma's been restless, pacing like a lioness. Zoe's been training non-stop. Fey, Dori, and the rest have been helping with preparations. No major injuries. They've been asking about you every few hours."
Julian exhaled in relief, the tension in his shoulders easing slightly.
Aris stepped even closer, her white lab coat brushing against his legs. Her gaze drifted down his torso, lingering on the defined lines of his abs and the old scars that crisscrossed his powerful frame. She placed a hand lightly on his chest, fingers tracing one of the larger scars near his collarbone.
"You know… lying here like this, all relaxed and exposed," she murmured, her voice dropping to a teasing whisper, "it's hard for a scientist not to get distracted."
Julian raised an eyebrow, watching her intently.
Aris's fingers continued their slow exploration, gliding down to his abdomen, feeling the hard muscle beneath warm skin. "You should relax more, Julian. Your body's been through hell. Let me help you unwind…"
She leaned in, her breath warm against his neck. Then she slowly licked her lips, eyes half-lidded with clear hunger as she looked up at him.
"And damn… you really do have such a gorgeous body."
The invitation was unmistakable.
In one smooth motion, Julian's hand slid to the back of Aris's neck, pulling her closer. Their eyes locked for a brief second before he closed the distance and kissed her.
The kiss was deep and commanding, his lips claiming hers with the same controlled intensity he showed in battle. Aris let out a soft, surprised moan into his mouth, her body pressing eagerly against his as her hands roamed freely across his bare chest and shoulders.
Julian's other arm wrapped around her waist, holding her firmly as the kiss grew hotter, more possessive.
Aris's breath hitched sharply the moment Julian's strong hand squeezed her thigh. Her eyes widened slightly, a visible shiver running through her body as his calloused fingers dug into the soft, plush flesh.
"Ah—!" A small, breathy moan escaped her lips before she could stop it.
Her cheeks flushed a deep pink, the color spreading all the way to her ears. She instinctively pressed her thighs together, but that only trapped Julian's hand more firmly between them, making her realize how exposed she felt under his touch.
"Julian…" she whispered, her voice trembling with a mix of surprise and arousal. Her messy blonde hair fell messily over one eye as she looked down at his large hand gripping her thigh so possessively. "That's… bold."
But she didn't pull away. Instead, her hips shifted forward slightly, almost involuntarily, pushing herself closer to his touch. Her breathing grew heavier, chest rising and falling faster beneath her loose tank top. She bit her lower lip hard, trying to regain some composure, but the way her thighs quivered under his fingers betrayed her.
"You… really like them, huh?" she said with a shaky, teasing laugh that quickly melted into another soft gasp as Julian squeezed again, his thumb stroking the sensitive inner part of her thigh. "Mmm… careful, or I might not let you leave this pod anytime soon."
Aris's hands gripped his shoulders tighter, nails lightly digging into his scarred skin. Her blue-gray eyes had darkened with clear lust, half-lidded as she stared at him. The usual sharp, scientific curiosity in her gaze was now replaced by raw desire. She leaned in closer, pressing her body against his bare chest, her lips brushing teasingly against his jaw.
"Keep touching me like that," she murmured hotly against his ear, voice husky, "and this 'check-up' is going to turn into something much less professional."
Aris's words had barely left her lips when Julian's grip on her thigh tightened possessively. His fingers dug deeper into the soft, thick flesh, kneading it firmly as he pulled her forward until she was fully straddling his lap on the edge of the regenerative pod. The heat between her legs pressed against the growing hardness beneath his thin medical pants.
"Ahh— fuck…" Aris moaned, louder this time, her head tilting back slightly. Her messy blonde hair fell wildly down her back as her hips rocked instinctively against his hand and growing bulge.
Julian's other hand slid up her side, slipping under her loose tank top. His rough palm glided over her smooth stomach before cupping one of her breasts, squeezing it with just enough pressure to make her gasp sharply. His thumb brushed over her already hardened nipple, teasing it in slow, deliberate circles.
"You're sensitive here," Julian murmured against her neck, his voice low and rough, before sucking on her pulse point.
Aris whimpered, grinding harder against him. "Y-Yes… anh, Julian… you're not playing around."
She grabbed his face with both hands and kissed him fiercely, tongues sliding hotly against each other. The kiss was messy, hungry, and desperate. Aris moaned into his mouth as Julian's hand left her breast only to push her lab coat fully off her shoulders, letting it drop to the floor. He broke the kiss just long enough to yank her tank top upward. Aris lifted her arms eagerly, letting him strip it off and toss it aside.
Now topless, her full breasts bounced slightly with her heavy breathing. Julian's dark blue eyes burned with lust as he took in the sight of her flushed skin and hardened pink nipples. He leaned down and captured one in his mouth, sucking hard while his hand returned to her other breast, groping and pinching. freēwebnovel.com
"Julian—! Mmmh!" Aris cried out, arching her back and pushing her chest into his face. One of her hands tangled in his long black hair, gripping it tightly as pleasure shot through her body.
His free hand returned to her thick thighs, sliding higher until his fingers pressed firmly against the damp heat between her legs, rubbing her through her pants with slow, intense strokes.
Aris's hips bucked wildly against his hand. "God… you're so fucking intense," she panted, voice shaking. "I've wanted this since the first time I saw you shirtless in my lab… these scars, this body… it's driving me crazy."
Julian pulled back from her breast with a wet pop, his eyes dark with desire. He gripped her ass with both hands, squeezing the soft, plump flesh as he ground her harder against his throbbing cock.
"Then stop talking," he growled softly, "and take what you want."
Aris's eyes flashed with lust. She kissed him again, even more aggressively, while her hands roamed down his muscular chest and abs, boldly slipping under the waistband of his pants to wrap around his hard length.
