Worth the Price Ch. 10 (Worm AU)

(Every character depicted in the story below is a consenting legal adult over the age of 18)

A/N: Poor Lucas, such tough choices v.v

-x-X-x-

Lucas finds himself torn between the desires of the other two people in the dorm room. On the one hand, there’s Sveta… she’s his right hand woman in this crazy venture that he’s just getting off the ground. Eternally loyal, completely at his beck and call… and perhaps more than that?

They hadn’t gone out of their way to put a label on their relationship… well no, Sveta had tried and Lucas had shut it down, telling her not to call him Master. But then what did that really make them? Would refusing her in this instance be betraying her?

And yet, on the other hand was Alice… he could feel her desire to be taken radiating from across the room. Even as she works, constructing the first of many life-changing explosives, it’s obvious she’s splitting her focus between building and fantasizing. He could make that fantasy real. He could show her the heights of ecstasy… and how good submitting to him could feel.

Lucas lets out a breath, trying to figure out what to do… before it finally dawns on him that he doesn’t need to make a choice in a vacuum. Sveta is his ride or die after all… so why hide anything from her? As she stares up at him expectantly, still waiting for a response to her offer, Lucas does something a little… experimental. Namely, he takes the desire he’s feeling from Alice, that little fantasy of hers that involves being fucked while she’s tinkering… and projects it towards Sveta, allowing the other woman to sense what he’s currently sensing from the Asian Coed.

Sveta goes still for a moment, her eyes widening as she takes a handful of seconds to properly process and parse what he’s showing her. Finally, a shiver runs through her body and she gazes at Alice’s back profile in a completely new light.

“Ah… I see…”

Tossing a wicked grin in Lucas’ direction, Sveta nods encouragingly… and if that wasn’t enough, she leans in close, whispering to him.

“You should do it. Give her what she wants. Dominate her, Lucas. Make her beg for release and show her whose boss~”

And then, for good measure, Sveta unwinds her tendrils, reaching for him and helping him strip right then and there. Lucas doesn’t fight it, able to feel her intention through their connection. Eventually, she has his cock out and grasped in her power, stroking it and giving him perhaps the strangest hairjob anyone has ever gotten.

It feels good though, he can’t deny that. Even as Sveta gets him the rest of the way to fully erect and Alice continues to hum to herself and sway her hips back and forth invitingly… it feels good. Letting out a breath, Lucas gives Sveta a broad smile. He knew he could count on her to support him no matter what…

-x-X-x-

Alice has never had a tinker fugue like this one before. For instance, she’s never known she was IN a tinker fugue before. This feels honestly different… it feels better. Her hands move with knowledge and skill, speedily and blindingly fast at a rate she’s never managed before. Her mind also moves a mile a minute, everything coming together.

And then there’s her other mind, the part that feels like it’s above it all, watching on approvingly… but also wandering to some rather… interesting thoughts. Alice had never felt like a particularly sexual creature before. Or rather, it was simply that nobody was ever worthy of her time before. Nobody was ever worthy of her.

This was categorically no longer the case. Lucas was… he had come into her life and saved her from making an utter fool of herself. He had taken one look at her previous plans and showed her a better path forward. Alice would have made a mockery of her own intelligence if she’d gone through with things as she originally intended to. And why? All because her ego had been bolstered by an outside alien presence within her power that wanted to drive her towards conflict?

No… she owed Lucas more than she could ever repay. But more than that, the reason Alice found herself fantasizing and daydreaming about him while working on her latest creation… was simply because he was the first person she’d ever met who was truly worthy of her. In fact, Alice found herself questioning if she was worthy of him.

So yes, she’s imagining him coming up behind her and having his way with her, even as she works. Which is why, when his hands first fall upon her hips, Alice thinks it’s just part of the daydream initially. When he slides them under her top and up her body to rest upon her small tits, she thinks it’s all part of the fantasy. She moans at first, arching her back to push her tits into his hand harder and pushing her ass backwards at the same time.

Its only as she feels a sizable, rock hard phallic shape pressing against her backside and Lucas begins rolling her nipples between his fingers that Alice realizes it’s the real deal and not just a daydream. Eyes fluttering, she moans even harder as her concentration is broken momentarily. But it’s fine, her hands go still on what she’s working on as her focus is shattered, stopping well short of anything problematic.

“A-Ah… Lucas?”

From behind her, Lucas’ hot breath brushes against her ear, his voice deep, dark, and thick as he grinds into her ass and gropes her tits.

“Yes Alice?”

She blushes hard at the response, having so many questions… but if she asks any of them, she’s afraid he’ll stop. And she doesn’t want him to stop. She might not know why he started in the first place other than that they were simply of one mind on the subject… but she really, really wants him to continue.

“P-Please… more…”

He chuckles into her ear, making Alice shiver. His fingers pinch her nipples, causing her to moan. And yet…

“Mm, only if you can continue working. I see you’ve stopped… I won’t keep going if you can’t concentrate.”

Ah… n-not fair… but then… maybe she could? Yes… yes, she was certain she could… she was a genius, after all. More than that, Lucas had empowered her further, making her better and faster and everything… yesss…

Alice focuses herself back on the task at hand, returning to the device in front of her. A device that would allow her to reverse Grey Boy Loops. A device that would put her on the map as the most amazing Tinker since fucking Hero himself. Yes… she could do it.

Her hands start moving again… and after a moment, so do Lucas’ as well. They slide back down her front as she works, slipping down to her pants. Her jeans are unbuttoned and unzipped in moments, fingers diving into her panties to play with her wet pussy lips.

Alice moans some more… but she doesn’t lose focus again. Or rather, she’s able to compartmentalize, splitting herself between the weirdest tinker fugue she’s ever experienced and the out of body sensation of being toyed with and used by the only man worthy of her.

After fingering her for a bit, Lucas hooks his thumbs into the waistband of her jeans and drags them down to her knees. Alice’s legs bend a bit at that, her ass jutting out further in his direction. Her breath hitches, even as she feels his cock slide between her thighs. She clenches down and he moves back and forth, allowing her to give him a thighjob for a bit before repositioning himself at her entrance.

His hands are on her hips as he slides into her from behind, slowly and languidly. A moan leaves Alice’s lips, her mouth open and her body shuddering. Still her fingers move. Still she continues to build. This has to be the best tinkering session she’s ever had… and it’s happening while Lucas is fucking her.

She almost wants to beg him to fuck her any time she’s tinkering from now on. She wants to extract a promise that he’ll play with her body and use her holes for his own satisfaction any time she’s creating something new. But… no, that would be asking too much. Frankly, she’s already gotten enough from him. Anything more, such as the amazing feeling of his cock gliding in and out of her clenching cunt walls… is icing on the cake.

His hands go back up her body, under her shirt again, and return to her tits as he begins to steadily thrust into her from behind. Alice moans as he pinches her nipples and gives them a solid tug, her breathing coming out uneven. Her hands remain steady as ever though, crazy as it might seem.

And then… his lips are back on her ear, his hot breath ghosting across the lobe.

“You’re doing so good, Alice. I’m proud of you.”

Alice’s eyes widen, her pupils shrink to pinpricks, and she cums on the spot, letting out a hopelessly lost gurgle as his words tip her right over the edge. There’s something intrinsically amazing about receiving praise from Lucas. Everyone else in her life, Alice had expected the praise from. It was her due, after all. And when she didn’t get it, she got angry. How dare they, right? How dare they not acknowledge her magnificence.

But with Lucas it’s different. She wants to impress him more than anyone in the whole world, but to actually do so… is a euphoric feeling like no other. Alice moans as her deft fingers continue to build, all the while the rest of her body shakes and shudders as Lucas fucks her deep and fast.

Until finally… it’s done. Not the sex, that’s still going… but the device is done. The explosive tinkertech that will reverse a Gray Boy Loop and return its contents to the state they were in before Gray Boy used his power. Environment, items, people… all of it will be returned to their original state like nothing ever happened.

For most of Gray Boy’s victims it will mean losing over a decade of time, Alice is pretty sure. And yet… better that then remembering, right? Even more, better that then continuing to suffer.

“Alice? You’ve stopped again?”

Lucas’ curious voice pulls Alice out of her revelry. With a blink, she twists her head to look into his unnatural golden eyes at long last… and smiles.

“It’s done, sir.”

The first of many, she doesn’t say. She’ll have to make more to deal with every Gray Boy Loop. But still, this one is done. And it will work. She knows it will.

Lucas doesn’t even bother asking for confirmation or clarification, nor does he ask if it will work or not. He just graces her with a proud smile and chuckles.

“Good work.”

Alice preens under his gaze… and then moans when he begins to fuck her soundly from behind again. Her hands plant on the desk in front of her, her new creation right in front of her eyes as he plows into her with greater strength and speed.

She cries out and cums for him at least twice more while staring lovingly at the wondrous thing she’s created… until finally, with a grunt, he cums and spills himself inside of her, leaving her feeling so utterly fulfilled in so many ways that Alice can’t even begin to describe them all.

As they finish up, she’s left panting, taking a moment to catch her breath even as Lucas pulls out of her. Then a thought hits her and she realizes she should definitely use her mouth to clean him off… it’s only right.

Only, when she spins around to drop to her knees and do so, Alice stops dead in her tracks upon realizing that Lucas’ companion has beat her to it. Sveta, that was what he’d called her. The other woman is already on her knees, head bobbing up and down on Lucas’ crotch as he smiles warmly down at her.

Alice feels a flash of jealousy and irritation… but those emotions swiftly curdle into shame when Lucas looks up at her, turning that warm smile in her direction too. Blushing, Alice bites her lower lip and squirms for a moment, jeans still around her knees, nipples still puffy under her top from all his playing.

She should probably fix her clothes… but considering both Lucas and Sveta are naked, she goes ahead and sheds them instead. Even as Lucas’ seed slowly leaks down her inner thigh, she strips and then joins Sveta on her knees at Lucas’ feet. It feels right… and to her pleasant surprise, Sveta is happy to shuffle to the side and make room for her.

Side by side… they begin to tend to Lucas’ cock, sucking and slurping and using their tongues to clean him off. And then it continues from there, until they’re taking turns sucking him off one after the other, bobbing up and down his dick a few times apiece before letting the other have a go.

Resting his hands atop their heads, Lucas lets out a contented sigh… and Alice’s entire figure sings with purpose at hearing that sound. She feels like she’s right where she belongs.

Eventually though, he looks down at her in particular with a more serious glint in his eyes.

“We should discuss next steps, Alice. You’ll need a cape name if you’re going to show the world what your new creation can do.”

Alice barely has to think about it. Some ideas flit through her head. Bombshell sticks for a second… but before she can say it, something better comes along and slips out of her mouth so easy she just knows it’s the right one.

“Catalyst.”

A catalyst for change. Something new. Something good. Lucas’ answering smile of approval is exactly what Alice needs to know she’s done good.

“Wonderful. Now we need to decide how you’re going to show the world what you can do.”

Huh? What did that mean?

“Namely, are you going to let the Protectorate in on your plans to reverse Gray Boy Loops… or do you want to just do it and let them scramble to catch up to you?”

Oh, now she understands. That… that is a good question. The old Alice, if she could have even conceived of such a wonderful invention, would never have brought the Protectorate or PRT into things beforehand. The new Alice… wasn’t so sure.
