Marauder Aegus Read Online Free

completely alone, and Aegus will likely never come back.
    “But don’t worry,” Aegus says. “I’ll protect you. I won’t let them separate us...it’s my fault you’re in this situation in the first place.”
    The dread in my gut gives way to a feeling of flying freedom, like zero-gravity but with more...flying. Soaring.
    “You protect me out of obligation?” I ask. “That’s it?”
    Aegus looks down, but his ears perk up. “It doesn’t matter why. Just know that I protect you.”
    I feel myself blushing, so I look down, too.
    “What’s with your armor?” I ask, trying to change the subject. “It shielded me and healed me.”
    I touch the place on my throat that had been cut open leaving me to suffocate and bleed out, but there’s not so much as a dull scar remaining.
    “The armor will help me keep you safe, and it’s–for now–the most powerful weapon in the solar system.”
    “What about the other Marauders?” I ask.
    “Okay,” he says. “It’s a three-way tie with the other two.”
    He stands up and slams his fist into his teal chest plate. “It can easily stop bullets, and I can form it into any shape I want. I can also fire plasma beams, though that uses up a lot of biofuel.”
    “Biofuel?” I ask.
    “Anything I eat is broken down to feed the suit. I eat...a lot. Though I’ve been scooping antimatter from Jupiter for the past year, and I brought enough with me to stay fully stocked for a year.”
    “Show me how it can change shape,” I ask, putting a hand on the chest plate. It really is hard.
    His fist begins to grow into a hammer shape, and his other forms into a large shield.
    “Cool,” I say. “And can you make it arm me like that, too?”
    I try not to laugh as I ask, and I bite my lip to hold back the smile.
    Just as I expect, the armor starts to melt off his body and it rushes across my clothes, hardening.
    As most of the material covers me, Aegus is standing buck-naked in front of me. I widen my eyes and look down at his big–really, really big–teal dick.
    “I thought it was teal,” I say. “But I just wanted to make sure.”
    The armor melts off me instantly, and quickly covers his gleaming purple–and teal–body.
    He looks at me with burning green eyes, and I swear I see the faintest hint of a grin forming at the corners of his mouth.
    Aegus moves back to the pilot’s seat as the autopilot disengages, and he takes hold of the flight stick.
    “Look at you gripping tight to that flight stick,” I say, strapping myself back into the passenger seat.
    “I see what you are implying,” he says. “But a flight stick and a penis are two different things.”
    “Come on, Aegus,” I say, laughing. “If we’re going to pretend to be engaged, it only makes sense that I’ve seen you naked.”
    “What about the other way around?” he says. “I have not seen you naked.”
    I feel myself blushing, and though he doesn’t turn his head back to face me, I can just imagine the devilish smile on his face.
    We pull into the docking platform, and the automated docking arms grab hold of the ship. They jerk the ship into the docking bay much more forcefully than usual. I’m sure my father saw to that–even the docking arms show how angry he is.
    When the doors open, two of the royal guards are standing there with guns raised.
    “Lower your weapons,” I shout. “Or is this how you greet my fiancé?”
    They give each other hard looks, but finally lower their guns.
    Aegus steps out onto the platform and reaches his hand back for me. The gap between the ship and the platform is only a few centimeters, and it’s almost comically chivalrous that he’d help me over such a tiny gap, but I don’t deny him.
    I take hold of his hand, and I can’t help but smile at how warm and inviting it is, but it’s still hard and solid. His grip is like a rock, and I know I can depend and count on his protection.
    He pulls me onto the platform and neither of us let go of the other. I
