that was unpleasant. When he grabbed her wrist she rolled her hand back over his and broke free. Her fist made a bee line for his cock but his shield anticipated her next course of action and when she tried to connect with his cock she smashed her fingers into solid unforgiving material.
“Son of a bitch,” she howled.
Huck didn’t take offense; he learned humans odd swear words and this was in no way an attack on his mother. He placed his hand onto her shoulder and she grabbed his baby finger, twisted his arm and smashed her fist against his elbow. Huck released her. They stood a foot apart. The little ass kicker was breathing hard. Her lips were parted and her teeth were pressed together.
She was so small compared to him and yet she managed to keep his hands off her. Rebelliousness practically oozed from her pores. Unless he hit, to hurt he would continue to be outmaneuvered. Okay, so that is a little impressive . Instead of being angry, he was interested, if not annoyed. His shield was enjoying the new tactical display. For the moment he decided to keep his hands to himself.
The shuttle hovered over the ground. The planet was ugly; the foliage looked dead and uninviting. The ground was black earth. Overhead, unwelcoming clouds billowed. Even Huck found this particular planet unappealing, boring. Females would hate it and would be scared shitless of the inhabitants. Huck watched Becky’s face for any sign of fear. Her arms were crossed over her chest. No fear, just smug.
Stubborn female.
He clicked a button and the door hissed open. Fast as lightning, he threw her out of the shuttle and waited. Collii were small creatures. Half the female’s size. Evil little imps who liked to eat flesh. Their teeth were tiny but pointed. They were purple with huge pointed ears and flat round noses. He knew a human female would find them repulsive, and scary. Huck didn’t want her hurt, just afraid. She would be crying soon enough. The mouthy little female would beg for his help. Huck would save her and that would be the end of his problems.
When she started screaming, Huck was startled from his thoughts. Fuck she’s dying. No, no, no. Huck raced from the shuttle and stopped open-mouthed. The female was surrounded by three collii. One of the creatures had a mouth full of sticks it was trying to dislodge, hands clawing at its throat and mouth. Another was clutching at its cock. The third made ready to pounce and Huck was about to save the female, but she attacked.
Wide-eyed, Huck watched as the little ass kicker went to her hands, kicked up her legs and smashed the collii in the mouth with both feet sending fine razor teeth in all directions. The being was knocked to his butt. Becky jumped to her feet with her balled fists waving in the air.
“Who’s next?”
Huck scratched his head. All three collii took off, howling at the top of their lungs. There wouldn’t be another of those creatures for miles who would go near the female. Becky dropped her fists and turned to grin at him.
“Who’s the badass now, cupcake?” She had the audacity to wink at him.
In his shielded form, Huck strode to her, dropped his shield from his hands and gripped her throat lifting her from the ground. His other hand wrapped around an upper arm to ease some of the pressure.
“Why aren’t you screaming for me to save you?”
“Yeah, cupcake.” Her tiny voice a mere squeak. “I’ll get right on that.”
Huck dropped her. “Don’t fucking call me cupcake.”
If other warriors heard her call him that he’d never live it down. Not the way he wanted to be recognized in a new hive. Oh look, there’s cupcake. Cupcake, are you going to kill today or cook? Would you like some sprinkles with your frosting, cupcake?
Huck growled and raised a fist, he was that angry. Becky stared calmly up at him, her curiosity apparent.
“So you want me to cower in terror? Cry? Don’t you think that would get annoying after a while?”
“No. It’s what
