"Rakel..."
Staring at the now nude engineer, I couldn't help myself as I ran my eyes up and down her body, taking it all in and re familiarizing myself with the abundant curves that the shorter woman had; those large breasts and her wide hips made Rakel quite the sexy woman, especially with her being a good head or so shorter than me.
She stoked all of those boxes for traditional sex appeal and even more of what most of us viewed as sexy today, and the red haired woman knew that as she grinned at me while clasping her hands behind her back, emphasizing her tits and slowly walking forwards to get as close to me as possible before I made a move.
"What~? My favorite Einherjar finally~ comes home after days of being deployed, and then she tells me that I did a really~ good job on the mech I am already so~ very proud of~? Of course I want to take advantage of the time we have to show my appreciation!"
When she was within arms reach of me the shorter woman looked up at me with that same grin before lowering herself to her knees, pressing her face against my thigh and nuzzling against the semi erect cock that rested against my leg.
"Besides... you're going to be deploying again soon, aren't you? This time in space, which just... means that this is a good luck wish given in a more physical form, yeah? How else can I pray to have you return to me, hm?"
Rakel slid her fingers beneath the waistband of my pants before pulling them down, freeing my cock and allowing it to smack against the side of her face as she continued to nuzzle against it, showing a sort of reverence that stoked my more protective side, especially since I knew my friend here loved being taken care of.
Gently laying a hand on her head, I guided her closer to the base of my penis and accepted the soft, eager tongue as it glided over my balls, the red head continuing to show me even more respect and reverence, though she occasionally paused to speak, unable to remain quiet during this.
"I mean... Hrefna, do you even know how terrified I was when they said you'd be deploying right in the middle of a swarm of Chukanid's down on Kapar-02? I know this is what you've trained for and all, but still... you're not a Valkyrie; you're a mortal, and..."
Having her be this worried about me as she was sucking on my balls was rather odd, but I had gotten used to the emotion she displayed at random and had even come to enjoy their surprise pop ups since it showed she cared for me as a person and not me as an Einherjar.
She wasn't just having sex with me because of my position but instead because she liked me for me, and that was something rare for me - be it self imposed with my reluctance to talk to people or a byproduct of my status as an Einherjar.
Still, the words to show my appreciation escaped me at this moment, both because I just couldn't think of what to say but also because most of my brain was being submerged into a lusty haze as Rakel resumed satisfying me, the softness of her lips as they wrapped around one of my testicles while her slightly calloused fingers stroked my shaft giving me so much pleasure after days of adrenaline filled firefights or long hours of patience as I stared down a scope.
This was the relaxation I needed, and I couldn't speak because I wanted her to make me cum, so I just held her in place and enjoyed the lips of my friend as she brought me to climax, the days of celibacy making it all too easy to erupt onto her face as I started to ejaculate.
Pleasure washed over me in addicting waves as sperm gushed from my tip, thick ropes of white splashing against Rakel's face as I marked her for the time being as my partner, with some of it landing on her outstretched tongue as she greedily drank it down.
Despite cumming rather hard right there, I was raring to go again, and Rakel was as well as she stood up and guided me towards my own bed, the red head pushing me down and helping me out of the rest of my clothes as she continued to speak with my cum on her face.
Setting herself onto my lap and rubbing her pussy against my cock, Rakel welcomed my touch as I grabbed at her juicy ass and guided her movements to bring me more pleasure, the two of us getting closer to one another as she whispered "I don't wanna lose you, Hrefna, and if these sporadic moments are the last I get with you, I-"
While lust was certainly one of the reasons I leaned forwards to kiss her, the other was to silence her from speaking something into existence, the idea of tempting fate with that cutting through the lusty haze in my mind and forcing my hand, so to speak.
Silencing the red head with my lips was just a benefit, and after a few seconds of savoring this other soft part of her I pulled back and whispered "Don't say it, Rakel... I'll always be here, always. So let's just..."
She nodded, and for a moment her big brown eyes were glimmering with tears before she looked away and blinked them away, her voice small as she whispered back "You had better be, damnit..."
Even though she was still dripping with my cum, I thought she looked absolutely gorgeous as she sat on my lap, so I rewarded her with what she wanted as I hoisted her up and penetrated her for the first time in a week or so, the tight embrace of her pussy filling me with ecstatic joy as we began to make love on my bed.
It was these simple moments that I had come to realize I needed so desperately in life; these quiet, warm moments spent with someone doing nothing more than just living, with no fear of death or the heart pumping thrill of a battle... this was what I needed.
