She reached up and wrapped her arms around his neck, tugging him tightly into her embrace and wrapping her legs around him as much as she could. He was so big, he could never actually lie down on top of her. But she appreciated that he pretended for her, dropping some of his weight onto her chest as they both came back to earth.
His lips pressed against her hair, the kiss chaste compared to what they had just done. "Was it hard this time?"
"No, not at all. But I got a new creature on camera." She tapped her sunglasses, which were somehow still on her head, and then realized that she had not, in fact, turned the camera off. "I really need to get better at confirming the camera is off. Now I'll have to go through the footage and delete it."
Proteus leaned back, a gleam in his eye that she recognized. "Or we could keep that footage."
"And do what with it?"
"Watch it. Together."
The heat between her legs started to build again. But then she shook her head. "It's just my perspective. All you would see is yourself."
He arched a brow.
"Well, well, well. It appears the god still wants to feel important," she replied with a laugh. "You want to watch yourself?"
"I was worshipped for years by others. If I wish to still give myself that treatment, you can say nothing about it." He leaned down and nipped her ear, only to growl into it, "Besides, don't you want to watch it all again?"
She shuddered beneath him.
Ellie absolutely wanted to watch that footage over again while having sex with him. Or maybe she'd ask him to be behind her next time. They could both watch while he slowly plunged inside her, grinding down like he'd made her do the first time.
They both needed to stop thinking about this, or they were never going to leave this facility.
"For later," she replied, licking her lips and staring up at him. "You've made me insatiable, Proteus. I don't know if I'll ever be able to forgive you for that."
He scoffed. "Ah, this is my fault? You're the one who jumps on me any chance you get. Don't think I don't see you watchingme. You're supposed to be paying attention in those briefing meetings, and all you do is stare at me."
"Because you're staring at me!"
His gaze heated as he looked down at her. "Of course I am, Ellie. I'm always looking at you."
Her cheeks burned bright red. They had a place to go. They were supposed to return to the domes and give all the information they’d discovered. This facility actually looked viable for life, and most of the rooms were still intact. Even some of the furniture. She should tell them all as soon as possible, so they could start moving people in here like they had at the other two facilities she found that were in as good a state.
But he'd mentioned watching her and... well, she didn't mind when he did that.
Ellie shifted away from him, her hands playing down her body. "Do you want to look at me right now?"
Oh, she loved the expression on his face. Proteus reached down to palm his cocks in one hand, nearly twisting them together as he nodded. "Whatever you want, Sisu. Always."

Proteus guided many of the clones toward the new facility, his massive body clearing the way in case anything might attack them. It wouldn't, but many of the clones felt better having someone of his size watching over them. Most of them had never even been in the ocean. At least not like this.
The undine that surrounded them, breathed for them, were still terrifying to many humans that still lived in the cities. They agreed to come to this place because they would have a better chance at life, but it was still all very new to them. The sea. The undine. The city they were soon going to be living in.
The facilities were ready for them. And this one in particular was better set up than the rest. The team of people who were at the head of this entire operation had learned from every single settlement.
These clones were going to the third settlement in the four years it had taken them to ready themselves. The facilitiesweren't huge. They weren't cities. That much was certain. But fifty people away from Beta was a start.
This was the first area that was entirely set up with the clones. Of course they would have support from many others, and they wouldn't be isolated by any means. But it was their home, and no one else's.
Ellie waited for them. He crested the water first, making sure she was standing there with a grin on her face and two thumbs up to tell him that she'd gone through the entire place with her team multiple times. Nothing was coming in or out. They were safe here.
