Pinned beneath him, I held what little breath I’d managed to suck in during the fall. Together we froze, still intimately connected, our heaving bodies molded together by sweat and arousal. For the longest minute of our lives we stood stock still, listening fearfully for anything; the buzz of a drone, the sharp cry of voices. The terrifying sound of boots, running up the dock.

We were naked. Weaponless. Utterly helpless, if any of those sounds reached our ears.

Luckily, none of them did.

The hottest part was that, throughout the whole thing, I could still feel Ripley erupting inside me. He did it quietly, wordlessly, too past the point of no return. His body remainedstiff as he injected me, pulse after pulse, with his warm, sticky seed.

I pointed to another seat, buried by junk in the corner. It looked even older, and less likely to support our combined weight.

Ripley regarded it for a moment, then shrugged.

“Sure,” he chuckled. “What’s the worst that could happen?”
