Beyond Space & Time

Wolfie might recognise this place, as it was one of the many relaxation planets in this galaxy. He and Atlas had been to one before, earlier in their wandering days. Something awful had happened there though... "Let's go get massages and facials and mud baths and-" Elder Atlas rattled on and on as they flew down into the atmosphere.

Atlas glanced at Wolfie curiously. "Yeah?" she said. "Why wouldn't I be?" This was a whole different planet to the other one, and anyway she had seen so much worse since then.

Atlas laughed nervously and didn't say anything more about it. Was Wolfie doubting her? After seeing her older self and seeing what true power in a woman was, he thought she was weak? That had to be it. Atlas swallowed that thought and went after the others. "We have all the time in the universe for those things," Elder Atlas was saying.

They all descended through the atmosphere and arrived at what seemed like a front desk of sorts, except it was the front desk to the entire world. There were swarms of people, but Elder Atlas bypassed all of them with no protests from the guards. A few people in line even recognised her, and called out greetings; she waved back like a queen doing a regal drive-by. They were waved past the front desk by staff, taken into some kind of portal, and were inducted into a grand chamber. If Atlas hadn't known better, she would have thought they were in a traditional Japanese onsen, which somehow also had the decadence and frills of Rococo France, topped up with a few ultra-futuristic flourishes. "Ooh~!" "Lovely, isn't it?" Elder Atlas said, beginning to disrobe right there in the middle of the room. Atlas squawked and made Wolfie look away. Some little locals flitted over with towels and robes for them all.

Atlas managed to put her robe on and then removed her clothes from beneath it, so that no one saw her. She caught a brief glimpse of Wolf's body and had to stop herself from staring. Damn, what a fine ass... Ugh. She shook her head and pulled her robe tightly around her. Elder Atlas, however, let hers hang loosely, erotically so, over her shoulders, revealing much bust. "There is so much to do here," she said, running her hand through her hair. "Where would you like to start?"

"Hmm... Oh, first let's get drinks!" Elder Atlas suggested. She reached for Atlas and twined arms with her, leading her away but making sure their skin didn't touch. Who knew what would happen if alternate versions of the same person touched? Atlas twigged this and made sure they didn't have skin contact. The pair sashayed away and went through another portal, stepping out into a large indoor space. There were exotic plants everywhere, surrounding a pool and various jacuzzis. There were people of all kinds everywhere, some in robes, some complete naked, wandering around, swimming, or lounging poolside. The place had a very chill vibe to it. They went over to a bar and Elder Atlas ordered them all a cocktail, which shimmered like the northern lights. Atlas took a sip and cooed with delight - it tasted a bit like raspberry, but also of many other tastes she'd never experienced.

"Off you go then," Elder Atlas acquiesced, sitting on a bar stool. "Just don't get eaten," she added teasingly. There were plenty of eyes on them, as attractive a bunch as they were, and the women in and around the pool would just love a naked Wolf to ogle.

Atlas felt a bit like Wolfie was making her go for a swim, and raised an eyebrow at him. "Uhh, I guess so," she mumbled, putting down her unfinished drink and walking after Wolf.

Elder Atlas burst into laughter, watching Wolf dive into the water without taking his gown off. What a silly boy! Atlas didn't really feel comfortable swimming naked with this guy - she was sexually liberated but only with people she chose to be, she didn't just walk around in the nude - but having been dismissed by Wolfie, she didn't have much choice. She went a bit further away so Wolfie and her Elder self couldn't see her, disrobed, and splished quickly into the water

Atlas swam languidly over to Wolf, noting that he really wasn't taking his robe off. "Does that not feel weird?" she asked him. Elder Atlas studied Wolfie. "He sighs like that too," she said. "Despite being relatively young, he sighs like he's seen it all. Hmm, I suppose you really have seen it all though." She gave him a wry smirk and sipped slowly.

"Um, no, I'm good," Atlas said, looking over to the literal other side of the pool where she'd left her robe. She didn't see much point in getting it back now, and she wasn't going to be a weirdo like Wolf and choose to wear clothes in water. Elder Atlas snorted at that answer. What a typical man thing to say. "Oh, how do you know we're intimate?" she asked him, leaning forward slightly to show him more bust and giving him a playful look. Chortling, she leaned back and became more thoughtful. "It's been about 300 years now. When the last of his mortal family passed, he came to me in need of comfort - not that kind of comfort, but it became that. The physical came first, and the emotional later. We were not each other's only until, oh... 100 years ago. Now, truly, I cannot imagine ever being with another." She giggled, a little sheepishly. "My, how young and naive that must sound."

Atlas looked over at him and smiled. "Yeah," she said. "The coolest. And what about the older me, what's she like?" "No time is a long time when you're immortal," Elder Atlas said wistfully. "At least, unless the two of us are apart, then any amount of time is too long." She took another sip. "So you two are new to your relationship? That's sweet. I once regretted that my first time with Wolf was only physical, based on our needs for company. But the first time we were together after confessing our feelings was the best night of my life. There have been many, but all before that night have paled into insignificance. So for the two of you to be starting out with these feelings... Well, the Heavens will rock." She snorted and dug him in the ribs with her elbow. "Just try not to break any planets, alright?"
