Digging in the Dirt, part 2
#8 of CASINO NIGHTS
Well, I finally got around to writing the next chapter of this story. I really think it's starting to get good. I've come to like the characters a lot- so the adult stuff sort of slowed down while I built of the story and characters. Still, you can look forward to plenty more smut before this story is over.

CASINO NIGHTS
"Digging in the Dirt, part 2"
.o.o.o.**
Xander looked through various files on a smaller monitor while the control room's larger screen remained idle. For the most part, the only actual traces of Rex's presence on the station were just old system status reports- nothing all that interesting or telling. Of course, he hadn't expected to find much... most people wouldn't put anything very personal in an official company memo.
And of course, he couldn't get into his personal files either... And even if he could, what the hell would he find? While there was a certain degree of mystery to the fox's disappearance, there was nothing to hint at a larger scheme. The only thing vaguely interesting were a few notes on some slight discrepancies in the cargo volumes of a couple of shipping manifests and a note he'd posted to himself simply containing the word 'Nero' in it. He had no idea what to make of that!
Still, he was now aware of the extra cameras- and that was something he might be able to use to his advantage... provided he could get a proper idea of the extent of Rex's work. There was also the fact that he didn't know how they worked or how Rex accessed them.
Regardless, he wasn't about to mention it to Rick- Xander preferred to hold that card back, perhaps to play at a later time if needed. The wolf wondered if Rex might have said something to Ursa or Regina that could give him a lead...
.o.o.o.
Regina glanced up from the tablet she was reading in time to see Xander enter the room. She smiled at him and set it down on the nightstand beside the bed. The wolf regarded her, noting that she was dressed only in her black underwear and a loos black tank-top. The lizard sat cross-legged, her long toned legs and flat muscular stomach in plain sight.
"I was wondering when you'd get back." Regina commented, cocking her head to the side a bit, making her mane of black dreadlocks rustle slightly and shift to side in sync with her. Xander looked at her and noted that she looked far more comfortable with herself than before.
He sat down beside her and smiled, brushing a hand along the contours of her face- up along her jawline and over her cheekbone. She smiled back at him and sighed. "I gather from your general demeanor- that you're feeling better?" He asked softly.
"Much better..." She said in a breathy whisper, leaning into his touch and reveling in the contact "From a strictly engineering standpoint, all my systems seem to be in full and working order." She added with a very attractive smile.
She reached up with a clawed hand and cupped his cheek gently. Moving back in, she brushed her lips against his- Xander perked up when he felt her soft breath against his lips. He returned the gesture, kissing her gently on the lips. Kissing the Ichthilian was sort of odd, though in a nice way- there was a smooth coolness to her unlike the usual warm softness of a mammalian.
"How did things go with Ursa?" He asked Regina, as he ran has hand through her hair- brushing his furred hand against the smooth texture of the immaculate black dreadlocks. Her yellowish reptilian eyes met his gaze.
She chuckled softly at his question. "You know, it's strange..." She began "I never would have given her much thought- I guess I sort of found her annoying at some level." She admitted to the wolf wih a slightly embarrassed expression on her face. "Still, there's something about her that I really like..."
Regina ran her hands across his chest, feeling his muscles through his clothes. She smiled, marveling at his build. "Under normal circumstances, I think most girls would feel jealous." She remarked, urging him to lift up his arms so she could pull his shirt off. "But I'm not a typical sort of woman... so I don't mind sharing you." She finished with a cute smile as she brushed her fingertips along his chest.
The last declaration caught his attention ad he smiled as she leaned against him. "I guess I shouldn't be all that surprised... I never was good at hiding thing." He commented, running his hands down the curve of her back, stopping to rest his hand on her hips. He looked her in the eyes. "Regina, are you sure you're feeling well enough for this?"
The reptile smiled at him and nodded. "Don't worry, I'm fine." She replied and placed a quick kiss on his lips. "It's been so long since I really felt alive... since I've felt like someone wanted me. Xander, I want this..." She then chuckled slightly.
She looked at him and blushed slightly. "And besides, what's romance without a little danger?" she remarked with a smile a slight laugh. She reached down and gripped the hem of her top and slipped it up over her head and tossed it aside. Regina followed Xander's gaze and blushed when she noticed him looking at her breasts.
"Honestly, what is with you mammalians and your fascination with breasts?" She asked in a half-amused tone. Being reptiles, Ichthillians didn't breast feed, which made breasts pretty redundant for their. The leading theory was that it was some sort of aesthetic adaptation in her species- as if evolution was trying to make them more appealing to the overall population. Of course, she also noted that breasts seemed to have some sort of power over men- so it wasn't all bad.
She began fiddling with his pants and eventually got the zipper down. She leaned forward and kissed him on the mouth while she slipped a hand down into his underwear and encircled her slender fingers around his hardening shaft. Xander grunted as she calmly stroked his length while she nipped and licked at his lips. She sensed his figditing and paused as he pulled his pants off- leaving him only in his underwear with a noticeable bulge.
Regina smiled as she slipped her hand back under the fabric and pulled his cock out. The delicate pink flesh glistened in the dim light. After taking the sight of it in, she slowly began stroking him again. Regina marveled at the seeming power she currently had over him... at how he bucked into her hand while she worked his stiff member. She heard him growl faintly and took this as a sign to keep going. Her other hand found his balls and began fondling them while the other kept busy jerking him off.
Eventually, she leaned down and ran her slender serpentine tongue up the length his cock- noting the slight saltiness to it and the tangible warmth as well. She could sense the blood flowing the through the organ- knowing the sensation building in it. She stopped and lapped at the head for a moment before slipping it into her mouth. She suckled the head, circling her tongue around the tip for a while. Oddly, she rather liked the taste of him- as well as the notion that she was getting him off.
Xander groaned and grit his teeth as she bobbed up down on his shaft, driving him closer to the edge. There was nothing much he could do now... he gripped the sheets, bunching them up in his fists, and thrust into Regina's mouth one last time. The wolf came in her mouth, but she remained- accepting his seed as he shot off another load into her waiting mouth. She calmly nursed his aching member while he climaxed, savoring the taste of his seed.
Finally, she released him and lifted her head back up- meeting his gaze again. She smiled at him and wiped her mouth off- making sure to lick at her fingers. Regina then leaned in at his side and whispered into his ear. "Was it good for you?" She asked, her tone a mix of sultry and cockiness.
The wolf placed his hands on her shoulder and looked directly into her eyes. "You have no idea..." Xander replied breathlessly. He then pulled her up against him and kissed her quickly on the lips before he urged her to lie on her back.
She nodded, and allowed him to guide her onto her back. Still resting his hands on her shoulders and now hovering over her- he smiled, taken back by how sexy she looked, as well as her strange calmness before him. The black underwear she had on was damp now, so he wasted no time in slipping them off, revealing her dripping slit in the process.
Her entire body was covered in smooth sleek green scales. The ones covering her face, the front of her torso, and her under arms and inner thighs were smaller and of an even finer texture, with a lighter tone to them. As he ran his hands along hers- first over the rise of her modest breast, then down along her toned stomach- he noted that the feel was almost flesh like. He noted that her mound was smooth... her slit was visible- the only break in her scales.
Regina was the first reptilian female he'd been with, but many of the same things seemed to hold true for her as they did for mammalians- she certainly felt pleasure in the same way, and her form was just as appealing. His silent admiration was quickly getting him hard again. The Ichthillian felt strange having someone looking at her like this, she glanced down and noticed his visible arrousal.
"Go ahead, I'm ready..." She said simply. A small smile graced her features as she spoke the words. The wolf nodded and parted her legs for better access. He lifted them up and rested them on his shoulders while he reached down to grip her bottom. The tip of his hard member brushed against her opening and she gasped, but the lizard urged him on. Xander slowly and deliberately guided his aching member into her, groaning slightly as the inner folds parted and then engulfed him in a slick embrace.
There was a certain coolness to it, but it wasn't unpleasant considering the circumstances. Xander also noticed that she felt pretty tight- he guessed that this was connected to her overall toned figure. He decided that he'd delayed long enough and braced himself as he slowly pulled back out- then then slid back in. It was important to establish a proper rhythm so the sensation could build properly. She arched her head back at the pleasant intrusion and hissed faintly as her body registered the thrusting motions.
Regina moaned noisily as the wolf continued thrusting into her. Xander continued to pound away at her dripping core- his pink flesh delving deep into her delicate folds. After a while, he started trying to vary the pace- to keep things going. The reptilian woman gasped, covering her eyes as she arched her back...
The wolf felt her inner walls reflexive clamping down around as she was about to orgasm. A series of jolts fired off throughout her as she climaxed around him. She let herself go limp she felt all the stress and pent up emotions inside her begin to melt away. After awhile, Regina's senses gradually eased her back into reality.
Xander leaned down and brushed his lips against hers, pausing and then kissing her roughly as he plunged into her. She moaned into his open mouth as he sped up- driving her closer and closer to the edge of a second orgasm. The wolf was getting close to his limit by now but was determined to make her cum with him. She reached up and snaked her arms across his broad back and locked her legs around his waist. "Christ... it's so good." She cried out.
"You fucking minx, you know just what to say!" He exclaimed with a grin as he looked down at her. She smiled up at him- sweat glistening on her slick form. He drove onward with everything he had, thrusting into her a few more times before he promptly rose up. Regina cried out as she came again. Xander growled as he came, shooting his seed into her aching core.
...Xander shifted onto his back and Regina climbed on top of him. The two of them gasping for breath as they lie there. He rubbed her back soothingly as her breathing gradually began to slow down again. The two of them remained like that for a while, simply savoring the intimacy and basking in the post-coital euphoria.
Regina would have liked to stay tangled up with him like that a while longer, but she was far too warm at the moment. Reluctantly she propped herself up on his chest and looked into his eyes. "I'm not sure how to put this... but I really could use something cold to drink." She admitted with a faint flush of embarrassment at her words.
Xander looked at Regina for a moment. His silence quickly morphed into laughter and he smiled up at her, before nodding in understanding.
.o.o.o.
Regina smiled, sipping the red fruit-flavored drink from the large glass in her hand. She quickly finished the drink and set it down on the bedside table- wiping away bit that had trickled down her jaw. She sighed, feeling the cold liquid running through her and cooling her down as she leaned back against the head of the bed. "Thanks again..." She spoke softly.
Xander was seated at the foot of the bed, watching Regina as she adjusted the sheets to better cover herself. "It's no big deal." He replied with a dismissive wave and a grin. He glanced away briefly and then brought his gaze back on her. Her black dreadlocks were hanging loose- framing her face. He shifted slightly to face her.
"You're the first Ichthilian I've ever met." Xander began. "I hope you don't mind me asking... but how'd you end up working on the station so far away from your home planet?" He asked, trying to make casual conversation.
"My people, the Ichthilians, were the minority population on the planet Gora-Nova." She began. "When I was a teenager, the fanatical leaders of the majority race tried to purge us from the population..." She paused. "We comprised less than 10 percent of the entire overall population..." She explained.
Xander looked at her. "Genocide...?" He asked in amazement.
Regina nodded back at him. "Thankfully, the Galactic Planetary Alliance intervened and stopped the mass slaughter." She explained in a somber tone.
"By then, there was nothing left for me." She continued. "The way I saw it, there was no point in staying there... so I took off." She added. "And I've never looked back." She finished, glancing up at him- an obvious note of pride on her face.
The wolf sat down quietly at the foot of the bed, near her. He smiled inwardly, taking in what she had just told him. Regina had always seemed like the type to play her cards close to her chest. However, she'd willingly told him about her troubled past- the openness of her words was refreshing to him.
Without a doubt, she was unlike any other woman he'd known. Still, he'd found himself drawn to her by this very thing. He genuinely wanted to get to know her better- to be closer to her somehow. He smiled at her and she flushed slightly in response. Her hands rested neatly over her covered lap. Her breasts were visible, but at the moment, he really just wanted to enjoy her company- something he hadn't really experience in a long time.
She fidgeted a bit under his appreciative glance. "Xander... you're making me blush." She remarked with a hint of playful annoyance in her tone. She really didn't understand why he was looking at her- she was feeling kind of sweaty at the moment- not desirable. And yet despite this, he seemed to not really mind...
As expected, Xander flashed his usual handsome smile in response to her comment. He shook his head. "Regina, you're really amazing- do you know that?" He asked coolly, crossing one leg over the other as he sat before her.
The reptilian woman felt her stomach flutter at the compliment. She was slightly put off by the warm feeling she suddenly felt, but did her best to play it off- she didn't want to be some fawning girl... yet she felt rather desirable when he looked at her or spoke kindly. "Don't be silly... you're making me blush." She complained halfheartedly while brushing a hand through her dark black dreadlocks.
The wolf chuckled faintly, deciding that she looked pretty alluring (slightly disheveled and blushing). He held up his arms, stretching and flexing the sleek muscles in his body. He was half aware that Regina was looking at his figure approvingly. "I was digging around a little and I found something odd in one of Rex's old invoices..." He paused, noting that she was now listening intently.
"Does the word 'Nero' mean anything to you?" He asked her, leaning back a bit and propping himself up on his hands. Regina observed him, noting the various markings and different colors in his fur. Darker patches seemed to accent the contours of his body in places, as well as giving him a more while look.
Regina shook of the sense of admiration for a moment and thought about for a little while. "Well, now that you mention it... I'm almost certain that I've heard it somewhere before... I think it means something, but I can't recall exactly what it is." She replied, her worlds trailing off as she spoke.
Xander smiled. "Don't worry about it- if it's anything important, then it'll come back to you eventually." He answered, reaching out to rest his hand on hers. "Right now, though... we've got more pressing things to think about..." He replied.
