Operation Honey Trap vs The Emperor of the Apocalypse

Cormac rode with Lili between his arms in front of him. He wasn't taking any chances after her first attempt to flee.

Having her naked in his arms was driving him wild and he thought about stopping for one more round, but he knew the commander would send men out to look for him if he took any longer. And he really didn't want any of them seeing Lili like this…

When they were a few minutes from the house, he handed her her clothes.

"Get dressed now baby."

He kept his sword drawn in case she tried to bolt before he got her inside.

When she was dressed, he was not at all happy with her skimpy outfit, not when she was about to enter a houseful of men.

He pulled off his shirt and dragged it over her head, where it hung down past her knees.

"That's better," he said with satisfaction, looking her up and down.

"Cormac. This is ridiculously big on me."

She flapped the extra-long sleeves that draped a foot past the end of her hands.

"How can I do anything practical while I'm wearing this?"

"You don't need to do anything practical baby. You'll be riding with me. You won't be doing any hunting."

"I mean practical like picking things up, drinking, you know, living? And don't you need a shirt?" She eyed his bare chest doubtfully.

He rolled the sleeves up for her, so they finished at her wrists.

"There you go, good as gold."

She shook her head in exasperation at him.

Cormac took her by the hand and lead her towards the house the guards were camped out in.

Magnus was on night watch outside, and his eyes bugged out of his head when he saw Lili.

"Cormac. You captured one of them mate?"

"This is Lili," he introduced her to his best friend. "Where's the commander?"

"He's inside," Magnus indicated with his chin, watching Lili walk past like an alien had landed in their midst.

Lili entered the house. A fire was burning in the lounge-room fireplace and six male faces turned to stare at her. She stared defiantly back at them, a slight smile playing on her lips, not dropping her eyes.

The commander strode forward. "Miss Bai," he inclined his head in greeting at her. "I hope you're well. Cormac, is she hurt?"

Cormac reddened, thinking she was probably a bit sore between her legs.

His expression wasn't lost on the commander, who closed his eyes in resignation. There didn't seem to be a single one of his men who could keep their hands off these girls. He supposed he should put himself in that same sorry bastard category…

He looked up to see Magnus' face pressed to the glass windowpane by the side of the front door and he waved at the man to get back to his job.

"Ahem," Cormac cleared his throat awkwardly. "N…no Commander. She's n…not hurt…" He rubbed his forehead.

"Niko, come and guard Miss Bai please. Cormac, join me in the study."

"Can't Lili come with us Commander?" Cormac asked with concern, looking at his woman.

"No." It was clear the issue was not up for discussion.

Cormac waited until Niko had reached them, before turning to follow the commander out of the room.

"Don't touch her!" he hissed at Niko under his breath as he passed him.

Niko raised one side of his mouth in a smirk. It was clear as day something had happened between the pair, and he had a fair idea how it would have played out from his own experience with Indy.

Niko grabbed Cormac's wrist, looking him steadily in the eye.

"It's alright. I've got you brother. I'll look after her."

Cormac nodded seriously at him, wearing an expression Niko had rarely seen on the lad, and he knew the man meant business.

"Cormac!" the commander called impatiently from the study, where he stood holding the door open waiting for him.

Cormac hurried over and the commander shut the door behind him, walking over to lean on the ancient desk.

"Tell me everything," he said with resignation.

"She was alone on her horse at the end of the jetty, riding naked in the lake. I suppose she planned to bathe there. I galloped down the jetty and crash-tackled her into the water before she could get away. I carried her back to shore and kept her from her weapons… and her clothes."

Cormac started to shuffle from foot to foot, rubbing the back of his neck as he looked away from his commanding officer.

The commander rubbed the spot between his eyes where a mild headache was forming.

"Mmhmm. So, you carried her back naked, you kept her naked. Then what happened?"

"Well, we got to doing some kissing… and stuff."

"And?" he prompted.

"She grabbed my dagger and ran while I was getting undressed, but I managed to ankle-tap her and knock her down before she got to her weapon and her horse."

"Well done man. Great work," Commander Meyer patted Cormac on the back in genuine praise.

At least the outcome was good. In fact, Cormac had done better than Baer, Niko and himself, in that he'd managed to keep the girl after she honey-trapped him.

"Anything else?" he asked suspiciously.

Cormac looked sheep-faced. "Well, yes. I fell on top of her when I tackled her and…"

"Out with it man!" Alton was losing patience with this meandering lust-filled tale.

"Well my tackle landed inside her…"

"Wait. You tackled her and landed on her inner side?"

"No. I tackled her, and my 'tackle' landed inside her, if you get my drift Commander?"

"You mean you tackled her and took the opportunity to slide your cock inside her vagina, Private Day?"

"No Commander! I'm telling you the God-honest truth. I tackled her while I had a raging hard-on, and when I fell, it slipped inside her by accident."

"We'll give that story the short shrift it deserves," said the commander tersely, brushing past the patent lie. "I suppose you immediately apologised and withdrew your 'tackle', from inside Miss Bai's conveniently exposed vagina?"

Cormac dropped his head, looking down at his shoes.

"No Sir. I couldn't, I'm sorry, I wasn't strong enough. I asked for her consent though, before I took her virginity. And I promised to marry her," he trailed off.

The commander sighed heavily now.

Well, the price they had paid to actually get hold of one of these women was very high. It might turn out to be too high, but for now, it was all they had, and he would make very careful use of the woman to multiply their gains.

"It sounds like you had already taken her virginity when you tackled her, and your cock 'landed' in her impossibly tight virgin pussy. Well, there's no use crying over spilt milk," the commander rubbed his hands together.

Cormac's eyes shot up to the commander's, checking if the pun was intended to mock him.

"I said split 'milk'. I'm not sure where your mind is, but I wasn't referring to your semen, Private Day. I don't suppose you thought for a minute about my order not to touch them?"

The commander sighed in resignation, because really, even he had broken this golden rule.

"I didn't I'm sorry Commander. I admit I completely lost my head. I'm sorry. After what happened, I definitely want to take responsibility for Lili. I need to marry her as soon as possible. I mean, she could fall pregnant…"

"Well there's no one here on the Mainland who can technically marry you, so you have a long wait before there's any chance of that happening. Not to mention if the Emperor will let you keep your head after he hears you deflowered his bride."

Cormac blanched. He hadn't fully considered how he would get the Emperor's agreement to handing her over to him.

"Don't worry too much about it for now," the commander rubbed the man's shoulder comfortingly. "We have a hard road ahead of us getting back to the Island, and plenty of time to form a solid plan.

Right now, we need to leave here at the crack of dawn and set up a trap to draw the rest of the girls in when they mount their rescue attempt."
