Chapter 8

Juan finished adjusting his clothes as he exited the small bedroom. From the sounds of it, Ellie wouldn’t be moving for at least a few minutes more. She was still breathing like she just finished a marathon and hadn’t moved a muscle since Juan got off the bed.

Walking into the office area, Nick was standing back beside one of the filing cabinets, a file open on top. He seemed to be writing something on a page inside it. Juan stopped at the desk and just watched. It was only a minute more and Nick finished whatever he was writing, closed the folder and put it into the filing cabinet.

Juan was not sure what Nick was going to say, or do. Juan had certainly picked up what seemed to be some kind of connection between the two, mainly from Ellie, but something. From the looks of things, it didn’t seem like Nick was going to try shooting him, at least not right now.

Nick glanced toward the bedroom behind Juan.

“I take it Ellie will be delayed in joining us?” Nick asked softly.

The tone threw Juan a bit, but he was optimistic at the lack of offense there.

“Yeah ... uh ... she should be out in a minute. She ... uh ... just needs to take a little ... breather.” Juan replied cautiously.

Nick looked Juan in the eyes, but also put his hands up in a calming gesture.

“You can relax, I am not going to do anything. I could tell that it was consensual, and God knows she deserves to relax and have some fun.” Nick reassured Juan. “Honestly, I am a little grateful for you taking the initiative like that. I like Ellie, she is a great gal. I know we have a good relationship. But there are some things that I just can’t do for her ... and that is one of them.”

“Um ... okay. I am glad that you are alright with that. I did not mean to do anything that could cause a problem. I just have ... my own problems that can drive me to make decisions I might not make normally.” Juan said.

“Are you alright now?” Nick was quick to ask.

“Yeah, kind of. It is something that can be temporarily dealt with, but will always come back. If I don’t deal with it, it WILL make me deal with it eventually ... and nobody wants to see that.” Juan answered in a serious tone.

Nick just stood there, giving him a look for a few seconds, then a small nod of his head.

“This world always seems to find new ways to make just living more of a challenge than it should be. How about we not worry about it for now, and get on what you came here for initially. Though I may want to talk with you about it at a later time, if you don’t mind.” Nick said. “It is not important right now, but it occurs to me that you might be an answer to a question I did not know I had. Like I said, that is for later.”

Nick walked to a back corner where a table was up against a wall.

“Can I make you a coffee while we wait for Ellie?” Nick asked.

Juan was having a small problem wrapping his head around the airship that just drifted past ... what the hell is that? When Danse had said they were a Brotherhood recon team, Juan didn’t really see this level of organization. Everything around here showed all the signs of the collapse of society that had happened. That ship did not exist prior to the war, so it must have been constructed after. The Brotherhood obviously has more going for it than Juan had thought they had, at the minimum they have airpower, that will be interesting. Based on the few comments that Nick had made after the ship had drifted on, it seems the Brotherhood does not impress him with their humanitarian nature.

Juan had accompanied Nick back to Diamond City, but separated from Nick to talk to Piper. Juan figured that if anyone would have information on this ship would be her. He found her sitting at the robot noodle shop, slurping down a hot bowl. He could hear her trying to chat up another patron even as she ate. But apparently they knew who she was and were focused on their own noodles.

Juan took the seat beside Piper, distracting her from her ‘interview’. One look at Juan sitting beside her and she knew he would be a more useful source of ... something ... to write. Juan knew she was definitely going to try and dig something for a second interview from the eager smile that lit her face at recognizing him.

“Hey Piper, I am glad that I found you. I need to hear what you know about that ship that flew in.” Juan wasn’t trying to be subtle with the request.

Piper stopped in her eating long enough to get out a hurried request.

“Not here, let me finish this and we will talk in my office.” putting words to action, she tipped the bowl back and slurped the remaining soup and noodles down.

Piper stood up and started moving toward her residence, Juan was right behind her. She walked over to her sister standing on the box in front of their place and leaned in toward her, speaking in a moderate tone. “Hey sis, I need to speak with Juan here for a bit ... possible lead. Don’t let anyone wander in until we come back out, okay?” Piper said.

Nat took a quick glance at Juan standing behind Piper, and just nodded her head to her, before going back to her sidewalk hawking pitch.

Piper headed to the door to her place, giving a look back to Juan to make sure he was still following. Juan was careful fitting the power armor through the door, a habitual movement after wearing it almost constantly for the 7 weeks.

Piper took a seat on the couch and looked up at Juan standing there, expectantly. Juan initiated the opening protocol and got out of the suit. Juan took a minute to stretch once he was out, the military uniform he was wearing not showing the wrinkles from long accommodation in the armor.

Juan took a seat on the couch and half turned to Piper.

“What can you tell me about that big flying blimp that drifted by recently?” Juan asked bluntly.

Piper gave a small nod, a tight smile crossing her face. She settled back on the couch, looking like she was very satisfied with something.

“I was wondering what you might be needing to speak with me about. Seeing as how you apparently haven’t asked your pals up in the Cambridge police station, I take it you are not completely sold on their ‘we come in peace’ message either?” Piper asked back.

“From what I can tell, the ones up in the Cambridge police building are fine. I have no problems with them. But, like you said, they are with this Brotherhood and so any information they give me will be ... biased. Maybe for a good reason, I don’t know. That is why I thought that if there was anyone that might be able to give me some background on this brotherhood, it would be you.” Juan told her. “I have to tell you, if they are going to help, the amount of firepower I saw flying around that air ship, would be a big advantage in dealing with some of the tougher elements here.”

“So, with that in mind, I would love nothing more than to hear everything you can tell me about them, and what I can expect working with them, if that you are willing to share.” Juan stated.

“I am happy to share what I know blue, under one condition. When you do get a chance to go onboard that ship, and we both know you will, you take me too.” Piper stated.

Juan had not considered that. Now that she had brought it up, it made sense that if he was actually considered a member thanks to Paladin Danse’s offer, then it would make sense that he would get an opportunity to get onboard. It has been a while since he was last on a vertibird, he used to love those babies. He finally gave a nod to Piper, agreeing to her condition.

“Well then, lets start with where they’re from...” Piper started.

Over the next 20 minutes, Piper shared with Juan everything she had read, or heard ... known facts, and established rumors, telling him everything she knew about the brotherhood. Juan had resisted the urge to ask more than a handful of questions while she was speaking. Piper had a firm opinion on the brotherhood, and it was not flattering. She included a few veiled references to the Minutemen as well, suggesting that they had been well on the way to emulating the Gunners attitude.

When Juan pressed her on them now, Piper was able to admit that what she had been hearing since he and Preston had started the rebuilding, had been good. But she did warn Juan to be careful about getting too comfortable with everything.

Piper had taken off her jacket half way through her explanation. She had been getting a little flushed and commented on it being warm today. With the background explanation done with, she made a point of leaning back into the couch, and tucking her right leg under her left.

This made the fact that her nipples were completely erect very obvious. It was clear that she was not wearing any kind of bra, and that she seemed to be unaware of it. Juan had been thinking of not trying to do anything with the attractive reporter, but as they talked, and as she obviously got more and more turned on, he had begun to get a whiff of her ... arousal, and it took very little of that to change his conviction.

Juan was never sure how a woman would react to his pheromones. Some would quickly shift into a powerful arousal frenzy and would strip with little effort. Others would be dealing with whatever qualms they had against sex and could take a bit of effort to get them past their moral resistance to what their body obviously wanted. There were a rare few that had the discipline to hold onto their self control and wouldn’t be overcome from it.

Piper was a slut. There was no other way to describe the ones that seemed to welcome the lowering of their inhibitions, embracing the increasing desire. It was like they were finally getting in touch with their true selves, the nymphomaniac that men hope to find inside a woman. Juan recognized she fell into that group very quickly.

“So blue, is your dick as big as your baggy pants make it look?” Piper asked with a sultry smile.

Yeah ... definitely the slut category.

Juan walked up to her without replying, he did make a point of unbuttoning the blouse of his uniform, letting it hang open. He did not wear anything under it, so as it parted, his broad muscular chest came more and more into view. Once he was stopped in front of Piper, her finished unbuttoning it and casually took it off, throwing it toward the couch.

Juan’s torso had a small selection of scars, visible below the hair that covered his chest and abs. Piper’s gaze was locked to his chest, her eyes heavily lidded with desire. She moved to reach out and touch him, her hand slowly rising up. Juan reached out faster, intercepting her hand.

“Not so fast ... you need to strip ... now!” Juan commanded.

Juan watched her eyes close slightly at the order, a slight moan escaping from her. Piper wasted no time in peeling off the shirt, revealing that she indeed was bra-less. Her breasts were a beautiful pair of perky mounds sitting proudly on her chest. Her nipples were rigid sentries, standing to attention now. She quickly slid her feet out of her shoes, then her pants and panties went as one. She let them drop to the floor, pooling around her feet. As soon as she was finished, she looked up at Juan ... waiting for him.

Juan let his gaze move from her head down over her face, taking a good look at both breasts. Piper was preening for him as she stood there, shoving her chest forward when his eyes stopped there. Juan could see she wanted to reach for him, but reached up to cup her breasts instead. Her hands molded and slid over her tits, reaching her nipples and giving them a prolonged squeeze.

Juan dropped his eyes again, sweeping across her curvy stomach, with the slightest hint of fuzz, except for between her legs. Juan was a little surprised to see that she kept her pussy completely shaved. The lips were flushed, the inner lips protruding from within noticeably. This close, the scent of her wet pussy easily reached his nose ... no hiding her arousal from him.

Juan stepped forward, one hand reaching up to grab the back of her head and pull her into a passionate kiss. Piper did not even try to resist, plastering her body tightly against him, her hands clutching at his back. Juan’s other hand slid down and gripped her ass, pulling her groin tightly against his, grinding his hard cock into her eager pussy. Almost immediately he could feel her grinding back, pressing her pussy over as much of his cock as he would give her.

Juan broke the kiss, holding her head away from his, looking into her eyes. He moved both hands to her shoulders and pushed down, not too hard, but enough for her to know what he wanted from her now. Piper was eager for the next step too apparently as she wasted no time getting to her knees. This time she did not wait for him to tell her, her hands were already working on his belt and zipper, making short work of them and hauling his pants down, taking his shorts with them too. She had to adjust her actions to account for the rock hard cock that was eager for her attentions.

She was a woman possessed now. The smell of his cock, the sight of it right before her eyes, she took it in both hands, neither able to completely wrap around the shaft, and with length of it sticking out of both ends of her grip. Her lips were trembling slightly as she brought her face close enough to kiss the head. Piper’s tongue came out immediately to lick across the head, tasting the precum that was already present.

Juan was not feeling patient, feeling her tongue sliding over his cock, reached down to put a hand on the top of her head and pulled her forward firmly, pushing the head of his cock into her mouth. He could just feel the edge of her teeth slide over the edge trying to accommodate his impressive girth. Juan didn’t try to go deep, stopping the push with the head completely inside her mouth. He could feel her tongue moving frantically in the little space left in her mouth.
