Hara's Legacy
choose to give birth, but I have never had a child, so I don’t know. You have my word I have no wish to harm the child.”
    “Yet you would study it and subject it to clinical tests. And you’re not even sure you could love it! And I would never see it or hold it or even know its name. I can’t believe this!”
    “You realize I may already be pregnant?”
    He groaned. “That just makes it worse.”
    “I could grant you special privileges, I suppose. In return for your continued cooperation.” Her head tilted in the way he’d come to realize meant she was thinking.
    “What kind of privileges do you think you can give me? I live in the Waste and I won’t abandon my family.”
    “Or the woman you say you love, yes. I understand. But my people are coming. We will be studying this area in some detail, taking subjects to study. I could promise to leave you and your family as they are if you willingly come inside me a few more times. That should do it.” He was torn. “But what of the child?”
    She stepped under the spray of water, adjusting it hotter. “I don’t know if I will be capable of loving it. If so, I will keep it. If not, I may be willing to give it to you for safekeeping. I know little about raising young and as long as you will grant me access to visit and study it, I may let you keep it.”
    “I feel like I’m making a deal with the devil.”
    She smiled as she rinsed her skin under the steamy shower. “I am just a scientist and not any sort of deity. But I will make that deal with you, if you live up to your part.” What could he say? His dick was already hard and she was female?and more than willing?if not of his species. He wanted in her pussy as many times as she would let him. But most of all, he wanted his safe. Caleb had sent him here, probably knowing he would be

    offered such a bargain. Caleb had sent him to keep the family safe. And he would do it.
    It pained him to think of this cold woman giving birth to his child, not even knowing if she could love it.
    But he had her word she would not harm the babe and if by chance some miracle happened and she could love the child, it might just help her have some compassion for the test subjects her people were going to capture and study when they invaded the Waste. Justin sighed heavily, all his options boiling down to only one.
    “All right, you win.” He caressed her slick shoulders. “Now turn around and let me in. I want a shower and I want your pussy. Preferably both at the same time.” She made that throaty noise he was beginning to recognize as her sound of arousal and turned to the wall, bracing her hands on the cool tile. “That can be arranged, Justin.” He enjoyed the tone of her melodic voice and wasted no time joining his straining cock to her hot body.
    He pumped her from behind, enjoying the hot spill of water on his chest and across her back as she leaned against the side wall of the tub. The warm water dripped down to pool between them and it was almost enough just seeing his cock pumping into a warm, wet pussy to make him come right then.
    But she needed a little more stimulation and he vowed to make this night one she would remember always as the best sex of her life. So he brought his hands up to squeeze her nipples. Hard. She squealed in the way he now knew signaled impending climax, so he did it again. And again.
    She climaxed around him, her warm tunnel milking him as he allowed himself to watch the red lips of her pussy caressing his shaft. It was a sight he hadn’t seen in a long time and probably wouldn’t see again any time soon after this night was over. So he promised himself he’d enjoy it while he could and live with the consequences of this night’s decisions when they arrived. If things worked out like he expected, that would give him about nine months to figure out a way to get his child away from this heartless bitch.
