Prime Commander (Katieran Prime Series) (13 page)

Beep … beep … beep.  Commander TylOR’s Comm link went off. He had accompanied them on their excursion. Prime Leader KadEN was left on Kiljor for safety reasons. 

“Commander TylOR here.  How far out are they? Send as many warships as you can out to meet us. We’ll be at the transport ship within 15 minutes.”

Kyd is all business. “What is happening?”

“Your transport ship coming from the human planet is being tracked by the Morins.” TylOR tells him.

“Shit.” Jaxon said out loud.

Chapter 10

Fifteen minutes later their shuttle landed in the docking bay of the Kiljorn transport ship. The warships, which looked similar to Earth’s fighter jets, were already docked. They were silver colored, small enough for one pilot, and fully loaded with all kinds of strange weaponry.  It was the first time Jaxon had seen anything like it. Either the Katierans didn’t have any of their own, or they were really good at hiding them.

Kyd watched Jaxon observe the warships. She was going to be asking him lots of questions. He needed to clear it with Ren before he gave her any more information. He turned his attention to Commander TylOR who was in charge of their current mission.

“How long will it take until we rendezvous with the Katieran transport ship?” Kyd asks.

“According to the transmission sent by your Katieran transport ship, they had just come out of the last worm hole when they detected Morin ships tracking them. We should be there in about 6 hours. Prime Leader RendEL deployed warships and transport ships from Katiera to intercede until we arrive.” TylOR told him as he checked his digital tablet’s IHI, instant hologram imaging. A 3D display of the Katieran transport ship’s position appeared.

“You should send your warships ahead to assist our Katieran warships in case the Morins engage.” Kyd suggests.

“Agreed. However, we need to wait until we are a little bit closer. The Katieran warships should reach them in a couple of hours .The Morins have not attacked yet.” The Kiljorn Commander says.

A few hours before help arrived for the transport ship? Kyd didn’t like it. But he wasn’t in command here. He nodded his head in acceptance.

Well, it was no longer a question of whether the Katierans had their own warships or not. They did. She would have to have a talk with Kyd about that later. She stood to the side silently observing. It was enjoyable for her to watch the two experienced commanders discuss strategy. Not to mention it was sexy as hell.

Commander TylOR had a lieutenant show everyone to their sleeping quarters so that they could to rest and prepare for battle. Kyd didn’t wait to find out if he was to bunk with Syd and SilAS. He took hold of Jaxon’s hand and dragged her into his sleeping quarters sliding the door shut.

“Kyd?” Jaxon asked. But that was all she could say. Kyd pressed her up against the door and devoured her mouth. When he pulled away, he was taking her clothes with him. He had been busy unhooking Jaxon’s uniform top. The man had very talented fingers. He knelt down to remove her boots, pants, and panties.

Jaxon reached for his pants and fumbled to get them open. Kyd growled when she released his stiff member from his pants. He kicked off his own boots and practically ripped his shirt off. He was desperate for her. He wasn’t going to make it to the bed. “Get on the floor, hand and knee position.” He demanded.

Jaxon wasn’t going to argue with him. She needed him inside of her now. She went down to the floor on her hands and knees. She turned her head to look over her shoulder at him. She rolled her hips and presented her rounded backside to him.

Kyd growled before he lunged at her, the little tease. He grasped her finely shaped ass in both his hands. He squeezed and rubbed back and forth. He bent and took a gentle bite of her flesh. “Mine.”

Jaxon’s breathing speeds up with her excitement. “Make me yours.” She wiggles her bottom. That is like waving a red cape in front of a bull.

Kyd growls again and uses one of his large hands to press down on her upper back. This forces her front half down to the floor, leaving her ass in the air. He spreads her knees and moves his legs up against her. He takes his hardness and brings it to her dripping wet entrance. No more waiting. He thrusts hard and deep. They both moan from the sheer bliss of him filling her body completely.

She was so warm and wet. She tightened around him and it made him lose his control. He leaned his body over hers and he thrust in and out. He drove into her relentlessly over and over. Jaxon pushed back against him. His hands reached up the front of her body to grip her breasts. Her nipples were hard points. Jaxon started to climax hard. Her inner muscles gripped him.

“Mine!” Kyd’s release came not long after Jaxon’s. His seed shot deep inside of her body. His release seemed endless. He kept coming and coming. Finally, he was spent. He collapsed on his side. He took her in his arms and held  her close to his body.

A little while later, they showered and Kyd took her against the shower wall. They changed into fresh clothes. There was a knock at their door. Kyd went to get it. Commander TylOR, SilAS, SydEL, and two other Kiljorn lieutenants stood there.

“Have they attacked already?” Kyd assumed this was about the Morins.

“We are here for Captain Malone.” TylOR says with regret in his voice.

Kyd growls. “What for?” He blocks the entrance, going into protective mode.

“Take it easy Commander KydEL. We have a communications link with Prime Leader RendEL and the captain’s presence is needed.” Syd tells his brother, hoping to calm him down.

“What’s going on?” Jaxon asks as she nudges Kyd to the side to see who was at the door.

“Your presence is needed in the Operations Room immediately.” SilAS says to her coldly without meeting her eyes.

Jaxon had a sinking feeling in the pit of her stomach. Something bad was about to happen. She didn’t know what, but her intuition never steered her wrong before. She didn’t want Kyd to cause problems so she nodded her agreement to go with them. Kyd didn’t move but kept his place blocking the door.

“It’s okay. Whatever it is, it’s going to be okay.” She would say anything to reassure him.

Jaxon was surrounded by large men. They led her to the Kiljorn Operations Room. She entered and noticed the other Kiljorn men watched her suspiciously. Shit. They directed her to sit in a chair that faced a viewing screen. She recognized Prime Leader RendEL’s image on the viewing screen. Kyd stood behind her.

“Captain Malone. We intercepted a transmission that was being sent to the EWG on Earth using your personal intranet correspondence address. This transmission contained highly sensitive and classified information and was sent from a stolen digital tablet that was found in your pack back. Did you have  anything to say in your defense to this?” RendEL was clearly pissed.

Jaxon’s face turned deathly pale. She could feel Kyd stiffen behind her. She watched out of the corner of her eye as he moved around slowly to face her.

“I didn’t send that last transmission.” Her voice cracked.

“Captain, you are being scanned as we speak for transmission devices. Do you want to change your response?” RendEL’s voice rises.

“I …” She stopped to gaze into Kyd’s hurt filled eyes. She gulped as she reached down and took off her watch placing it on the table. “I sent a few minor transmissions using my watch, but nothing that was classified.”

“Why would you do this?” Kyd asked her with a hoarse voice. She did this to him. She betrayed his trust and hurt him. She wanted to explain to him. Make him understand somehow.

“I was sent by the EWG, to come here and collect Intel. They felt that they were being kept in the dark about something and wanted to know what secrets you … the Katieran Nation held.” She stopped talking. She couldn’t defend the EWG any more than she could defend herself.

“I did borrow the digital tablet from the Medic Wing and found the confidential information. But, I did not send out a message with the tablet you found. In fact, I buried the digital tablet in the sand near the Waters of Katiera. Someone else had to put it in my backpack. Someone else had to have sent that message. I swear. I just couldn’t do it.” Jaxon pleaded with her eyes. Kyd turned to leave.  He didn’t believe her.

“Jaxon is it true?” Cassie’s image is now on the viewing screen. She can hear RendEL in the background trying to get her to leave. “No, I am not leaving until I hear it from her. Talk to me Jax.”

Commander TylOR surprises her by having everyone leave the room to give her privacy with her friend. “I’m so sorry Cassie. I have hated this mission from the beginning. But …”

“You never turn down a mission. I know. But, my kids are Katieran now, I’m Katieran. How could you do this?” Cassie starts crying.

Tears ran down Jaxon’s cheeks as well. She may have lost her best friend and only family because of this. “I don’t know who sent the information found on that tablet. I could not do it. I swear it Cas. I have fallen in love, with Katiera, with the people of Katiera, with … The EWG would use that information for their own selfish gains.”

“I decided to NOT send it. For once, I chose to not complete a mission. I buried the tablet in the sand and thought that was the end of it.” Jaxon explained.

There is a long drawn out pause as Cassie stares into her eyes for confirmation. “I believe you.” Cassie tells her. Her tears stop. “Let me talk to Ren about this. Hang in there okay?”

Jaxon nodded her head. They ended the communications. Jaxon wiped her tears with her hands and tried to get herself composed. Commander TylOR and SilAS came back into the room.

Commander TylOR addresses SilAS, “Lieutenant, you will take Captain Malone to her sleeping quarters and stand guard. Wherever she goes, you go as well. Is this understood?”

SilAS nodded his agreement as he said, “Yes Commander.” He then waited for Jaxon to stand back up. SilAS led her back to the sleeping quarters she had shared with Kyd. She was hoping he would be there so that she could apologize and explain further. He was the one person that mattered the most to her. How or when that happened, she didn’t know. She was disappointed to find that he wasn’t there. She turned to SilAS questioningly.

“Prime Commander KydEL is sharing sleeping quarters with Prime Medic SydEL. I will be right outside the door.” He turns and closes the door behind him. Guess the rose colored classes have finally come off for SilAS. The woman he worships is a betrayer in his eyes.

“Dr. Morris enough!” Syd yelled at a very distressed Kat. She found out what had happened with Jaxon and came to defend Jaxon and to explain her part.

“She wouldn’t do this. I have gotten to know her really well. Yes, she took the tablet and had me help her locate confidential information. But I don’t believe she would have sent it to the EWG.” Kat paces the sleeping quarters that SydEL and his brother are now sharing. KydEL is sitting on his bed not saying anything. Syd stands next to his own bed watching her like a hawk.

“I would not say anything else about your part in this betrayal, Dr. Morris, if you want to remain on Katiera.” Syd warns her.

Kat turned ale. “Fine. But I want to talk to her.”

“No.” Kyd finally speaks. “She is to be kept isolated from everyone until her trial on Katiera convenes.”

“What will happen to her?” Kat asks him worriedly. How can this man act so uncaring?

“The Katieran High Council and Prime Leader RendEL will determine whether she is allowed to stay on Katiera or if she will be returned to Earth.” KydEL states before he stands and heads to the bathroom.

“Syd, please ….” She begs.

“It’s out of my hands.” He says flatly. Seeing that Syd was not going to help her, she storms out.

Syd worried about his brother’s emotional and mental state. Males did not handle separation from their females well at all. And he suspected that they might be true bond mates. Damn, this was bad.

Jaxon was restless. It seemed like it had been days when in fact it had only been about 4 hours since she was brought back to her sleeping quarters. Poor SilAS was still outside guarding the door. They had brought her something to eat, but she couldn’t take a single bite. Kyd’s hurt expression filled her mind.

A Kiljorn medic had come by to take her vitals. She wasn’t sure what all of that was about, but it had been a small distraction for her. And that was what she needed more of, a distraction to keep her busy.

They didn’t say she had to stay in her sleeping quarters the whole time, just that SilAS had to go with her wherever she went. She opened the door and SilAS immediately stood at attention. “Captain Malone. Did you need something?” He asked without direct eye contact.

“Actually Lieutenant …” she decided to return the formal greeting, “I would like to stretch my legs.” She didn’t wait for him to deny her; she went past him out into the corridor and started to walk towards the docking bay. Maybe she could watch some of the warships take off. SilAS followed behind saying nothing.

“Is flying your warships similar to flying your shuttles?” She asks him. He doesn’t say anything, just keeps pace with her. She tries again using a technique that always works. “They appear similar to the fighter jets we have on Earth. They probably aren’t as good though.”

“Nothing you
humans
have can stand up to
our
warships!” He tells her firmly.
