CHAPTER 8: YURI'S STORY ?

Yuri sat on the side of the bed nibbling a piece of fruit as she watched Martin dress. She wore one of his uniform shirts that fell nearly to her knees, the sleeves rolled up to her elbows. She had pulled her long hair into a tight pony tail and it fell across one shoulder. Yuri watched in silence, content to gaze upon the man who had saved her life. Martin had provided them a sanctuary at huge risk to himself, in a time when they would have been killed on sight. This man, who over the course of the last two years, she had fallen completely and totally in love with.

Yuri Tanaka was the product of the Japanese governments attempt to create their own genome program. She stood only five foot four and a hundred and ten pounds dripping wet, but with the exception of Martin and one or two others on SEAL Team Twelve, she was perhaps the most lethal individual on EDEN. She had been trained from age five in the martial arts and some of the more arcane Japanese magical arts dating back four hundred years. Her skill ranked her on the same level as some of the most famous Japanese Ninjutsu Masters in history. She had completed dozens of very sensitive and dangerous missions for her government before they chose her to be the first to attempt to pass on the genome abilities during normal child bearing. She had been artificially inseminated with an embryo and began to carry the child. As any mother to be knows, she became very protective of her unborn child, and when the Japanese government decided to terminate her and the child after several violent genome outbreaks, she did what any mother would do.

Yuri ran.

She had been able to contact a friend in the United States embassy in Korea. The war between the US and Japan was winding down, and it had been costly for her country, but she knew the only place she could even remotely be safe was in the US. Martin and his SEAL team had been in Japan for four months wreaking havoc and spreading fear among the Japanese military even though they were being hunted by some of Japans finest. Martin and seven of his team were selected to extract her from Japan at all costs. The US government deemed her pregnancy a marvel and wanted to explore her at all costs. It was an even exchange in Yuris eyes if they got her safely out of her country.

And upon meeting Martin that first night in the pouring rain under a bridge in old Tokyo, Yuri had been smitten. It was a feeling she was not familiar with and it took her a few months to realize what exactly she was experiencing. It had not taken her long after that to request that Martin be assigned to her, and the US government was happy to comply. When he was assigned to EDEN, it was determined she and her two year old daughter would accompany him as well. Martin had been the first man to explore her body in the ways he did. He was by far the largest equipped she had ever had, the pleasant soreness between her thighs attesting to that, but what he made her feel with his size and his incredible tongue more than made up for any soreness she experienced. She wasnt so sure that the soreness wasnt from the intensity of her orgasms more than his size. They had been sleeping together for nearly two years, and she was more than adjusted to his exceptional size. In fact, his size was what made her feel his own orgasms so intensely, and caused hers to be more electrifying. Martin fit inside her like the finger of a tight glove, causing her to feel every pulse of his manhood inside her, thereby heightening her own passion.

" Yuri?" Martins voice tore her from her sexual thoughts.

"Uhu what," She asked looking at him.

Martin knelt down in front of the bed." Are you ok?" He asked.

Yuri smiled." I'm fine". she answered." I'm just reflecting on what you make me feel when you make love to me".

"I hope its good". Martin said with a grin.

Yuri smiled and pulled him close with her arms while seductively sliding her legs up his sides. "Nothing could be more exquisite". She told him. She kissed him softly.

Martin looked at her, marveling at the brightness of her eyes." Yuri I..."

She put a finger to his lips stopping his words. No. she said." I know what you are going to attempt to say. You dont need too. That I am the only woman that occupies your thoughts and your bed is more than enough for me. I love you enough for the both of us."

Martin looked down, his hand tracing her thighs. "I wish I wish"

Yuri lifted his face even with hers again and kissed him deeply." You need not try to explain Martin. I already know all that I need too. You say it every time you kiss me or hold me in your arms, and every time you make love to me. I am more than content with that. And in time perhaps I can help show you what it is."

Martin smiled. I would like that.

"I know". Yuri told him with a smile." Now go you have your work to do. I understand Commander Peterson is among those assigned to EDEN now."

Martin turned and looked at her." How do you know that?"

Yuri smiled. "I have my sources". She answered.

Martin nodded. "She came in last night with us." He told her as he leaned over to lace up his boots.

"And how did that go?" She asked him.

"It went fine". He said looking at her strangely." Why do you ask?"

"You're the one who told me what happen between the two of you". Yuri said." How she made you feel. Is there anything I need to worry about?"

Martin chuckled." Nope. Shes is just as arrogant and pompous as you said she was when she interviewed you on earth". Martin said.

Good I didnt want to have to fight for your affections. Yuri said.

Martin got up and leaned over kissing her softly. "You are taking Yuriko for her appointment with Walter right?"

Yuri nodded." I'll be back tomorrow evening. And then I expect to remain in bed for the entire weekend." She spoke with a seductive grin.

Martin smiled." That should be fun. Youre sure youll be back here tomorrow evening right?"

Yuri nodded." Were taking the first transport back. It leaves right after her appointment at 1000 hours."

Martin leaned forward and kissed her deeply once more. "I will see you then". He turned and headed out of their bedroom before Yuri could see the strange look in his eyes when his thoughts turned to Anja.

Yuri watched him leave their bedroom, and Martin didnt see Yuris eyes change from their dark color to cobalt blue when she blinked. They remained that way for several seconds before she blinked again and it was gone.

The Command Center for EDEN was a huge circular room with dozens of stations monitoring everything from the air temperature inside the station, to the activities of the RAPTORs on the pads, and the techs moving around them. In the center of the room was a massive holo projection of Earth and the moons orbit around earth. There were techs at all the stations with junior officers walking among the staff with data pads in their hands.

To one side of the command center was another large room with a granite table forged from an enormous boulder on the moon. The room could be seen from the command center but there was a massive sound proof glass partition between the two rooms. The high backed chairs surrounding the table were currently filled with most of the senior officers of EDEN in the morning briefing with Admiral Wallace. On the table were coffee and tea mugs and an assortment of breakfast dishes.

"...seems to be settling in fine". Colonel Wilson reported. He was EDENs Executive Officer, and an ex-army Delta Commander. He was a no nonsense type officer who looked after the men and women under his command. He had been in command of two missions in which SEAL Team 12 had taken part, and he was a firm supporter of Martin and his team. Everyone has their quarters and I havent received any complaints as of yet.

There was some soft chuckling around the table. Everyone knew that Frank Wilson hated being contacted for minor problems in regards to living quarters when the people could just walk to the entertainment cluster and purchase nearly anything to fix it.
