Ask Precious Cargo

[Jace Kryze]

He watched her movements, first observing to see if she had any bright ideas about using weapons, and next on her body language in general. As she began talking about payment, Jace paid attention to the way she looked at him and her tone. He didn’t forget her nuances back in the cantina. Either it was all an act, or she really was easygoing in that regard.

Jace gave her a smirk, “I’m fresh out of credits and I’m not giving you my bounty,” He walked towards her, closing the distance and leaning down so his hands planted on either side of her seat. His emerald gaze glinted as he grinned at her, “I might just have to get creative,” He said with a sultry tone. He was entirely aware of where her weapons were to act on a whim if she moved suddenly. For now, he posed no threat, the teasing smile on his face and a cool confidence in his demeanor.

His gaze might have looked somewhat relaxed on the outside, but there were nuances she knew all to well: Despite having escaped together, she was no one to trust strangers and she always studied those around her attentively and there was no doubt the skilled warrior did the same.

She was also certain that he was aware that he had the upper hand though, and while she didn't like being in the opposite position, she usually was a little more relaxed around Mandalorian. Fresh out of credits, now that wasn't good and her eyes immediately narrowed. As he suddenly got up her muscles slightly tensed up, but she didn't flinch just yet and watched him approach instead, her gaze never leaving his.

To say that she was surprised by his assertiveness might have been an understatement, but there was no denying she found it hot. That he literally offered something creative as payment though was something that drew a chuckle from her. The sultry shift in his voice, the intense eye contact and the confident demeanor- so she had stumbled upon a real bold player here, yet her curiosity was piqued.

She shamelessly leaned even closer, her voice much heavier as she said, "Might be a start. Although you'd have to get really creative then". She gave him a smirk that was clearly challenging him to follow through with whatever he called creative. She was curious, yet she wouldn't concede that easily - she expected decent payments and she'd get it, one way or another, but for now while she still gazed into his mesmerizing eyes, she kept analyzing his body language.

Jace wasn’t remotely shy or timid. He knew how to read signals and give them. He only flashed a smirk before reaching over to casually slide his hands under her thighs to hoist her up as if she weighed nothing. He made sure her blaster was out of reach first. He carried her while she faced him, her arms likely falling around his shoulders. He grinned at her, “Maybe I’ll take a tour of your ship first.”

With that he nonchalantly carried her through the corridor, first stepping into a crew room, “Hmmm, nah,” He said as he stepped back out and carried her effortlessly throughout the other sections of the ship, eliminating them one by one.

At long last, he came across the kitchen area and spotted a counter. Jace set her down on the edge of it, shamelessly pressing himself in to stand between her legs. His hands were planted on either side of the counter next to her. He leaned in close, his lips faintly brushing along the side of her neck and towards her jawline, “I’ll let you decide which pieces of armor stay on and which ones come off,” He murmured near her ear.

If Maeve had learned one important thing throughout the years it was that those who barked the loudest were often most useless. She knew overconfident dudes who barely lasted a few seconds and the fiery Mandalorian was bold for sure, however there was something in his admittedly stunning eyes that hinted at how he was someone who knew what he did after all.

Whether he'd do anything that would be worth a decent payment for a dangerous transport she surely doubted, however that was until he suddenly picked her up effortlessly. She loved his straightforward non bs approach and that he checked for the most fitting place first, so with her arms around his neck, she waited for him to settle on a spot, a wide smirk on her lips.

She approved of the counter and didn't hold back the soft moan that escaped her as he started tracing his lips down the side of neck and jaw, her legs on either side of him. The cool metal around his body sent exhilarating chills jolting through her body as he suggested a slightly kinky little game. "Mhh...I like that", she softly bit her lips while her hands wandered towards his chest plate. "

"It's a shame I almost want to see everything that's underneath". Mandalorians had something mysterious as you literally never knew what waited on the inside, but she doubted it was anything short of spectacular. She obviously wanted to know and so her first choice was made, although obviously his leg armor would be in the way soon enough. However, Maeve knew how to play those games and so while he'd attend to his chest armor, she'd slip out of her jacket and top too, if he wasn't on it before her.

His leg armor piece fell away. Before he could take an article of clothing off her, she was one step ahead by removing the jacket and top. Jace chuckled to himself, “You’re breaking the rules,” He said as he arbitrarily made up rules on the spot. He ran a gloved finger down her neckline and down the center of her torso. He kept his gaze on hers, tracing that finger over the curve of her chest, teasing and swirling before he continued down further.

“Only fair I make you pay for that,” Jace said with a glint in his eye. He could assess what drove her crazy. She was used to being the one in charge, the one that called the shots and had idiot men fawning over her or trying to impress her. It was the same, boring shit. Jace stopped being on the receiving end of that a while ago. He knew who he was. He knew his worth. He knew he was desirable.

Without warning, he abruptly turned her around and bent her over that counter, letting her feel the cool metal against her bare skin. Jace’s hand slid down her back and over her rear, looking for the kinds of signals she gave. If she was comfortable with the shift in dynamic, he would grin down at her, “I’ll just have to make you earn what you get to see,” His voice would call out behind her.

"I don't play by set rules...or at least rarely", she admitted teasingly and with a smirk as she traced along his muscular chest, not hiding that she liked what she saw. He seemed to watch and analyze her for a brief moment and soon proved that he was quite skilled at reading her, even though she was admittedly hard to read.

As if on instict his next move was not necessarily what she expected, but the best he could do as it caught her off guard in a very pleasant way. The cold metal pressing against her laced her skin with goosebumps while a new kind of exhilaration drove right through her. She held back the gasp that threatening to escape her, not wanting to fully give away she was highly agreeing, but the way her body relaxed clearly indicating she was liking the game so far.

She shifted into his touches, closing her eyes and enjoying the electrifying feeling his touches offered before she said, "I thought I was the one getting paid...". She glanced over her shoulder with a fiery glint in her eyes, however knowing she couldn't move much. This was much better than the regular routines and the way he challenged her was thrilling.

Jace was fully back in his armor, and she still hadn’t technically seen all of him. They were almost near the jump where he had asked to be dropped off. His time aboard the ship had been eventful to say the least, and he wouldn’t forget Riva anytime soon. Jace was in the middle of cleaning some of his blasters when he spotted her, giving her a grin, “So what excuse can we make up to run into each other again?” He asked with a wink.

He set the blaster down and picked up a new one, popping a new powerpack into it. The Kryze’s mind was slowly shifting back to work and the carbonite he had stashed on Riva’s ship. It was a wonder he managed to lug it around without anyone trying to steal it, and he wasn’t entirely convinced the woman before him wouldn’t attempt. However, he never let his guard down, even during their intimate moments.

With a shit eating smirk on her lips and a still somewhat spinning head, Maeve slipped back into her clothes to check on their current flight. They were still on course, yet she had some cargo to drop, so she approached him in the back of the ship and leaned against the doorframe, a chuckle escaping her at the side of him cleaning his equipment.

"Sorry about that", she nodded to the blaster in his hand, a mischievous smirk on her lips. Time had surely flown, but their shared time was nearing its end. "Excuse? I tell you what...you still technically owe me some credits", she teasingly replied, cheekily overlooking the payment he had offered so far.

"I might have a job for you if you'd be interested...could use some fire power", she added as she pushed herself off the wall and slowly approached him. She'd find a way to track him down, she figured, but was certain he'd find some use for additional credits.
