“Don’t act like that. You know what I was saying. I was using his phrasing, not my own. You shouldn’t act proud when he says it, and then act offended when I repeat his words,” he admonishes.

“So we are going to fight then? You come home after two months of being gone for reasons you lied about, even though I have top level security clearance, and then you want to start a fight the only night we get to be together before you’re whisked away again. I’m starting to think I’m engaged to a ghost rather than a full blood,” I snort.

His eyes soften, and then he pulls me into his soft embrace while forcing me to feel his exquisite body pressed against my very sexually frustrated one.

“I’m sorry,” he sighs. “I just wasn’t expecting your ex to be involved so thoroughly. I had a feeling he would be here, but I wasn’t prepared on your having to stay behind with him. I genuinely thought they would bring you along due to your incredible skills,” he murmurs so seductively soft.

“That’s better,” I utter with a seductive tone of my own, and he gives me his heart melting grin to show me a peek at the man I’m mad about.

“Let’s go to our quarters,” he murmurs as his lips fire up against mine.

“Let’s,” I breathe into his mouth, and a small chuckle erupts when he spins me around.

“Ms. Crush. Captain Mordel,” a man says from behind us, and I’m ready to display my gift at this point.

“What?” Brazen exasperates as we turn to see a gentle older human.

“I’m very sorry, but Captain Banner asked me to show you were you would be staying,” the man warily states.

“I’ve already been given a tour, and Ms. Crush will be staying in my room tonight,” Brazen gently offers, and the human seems a little more at ease.

“I’m sorry, Captain,” the man humbly responds, “but Captain Banner insisted you have larger accommodations since the two of you will be staying together.”

Brazen grumbles under his breath, “I didn’t think he was the considerate type.”

“He’s usually not,” I whisper back, and the man starts leading us down the hallway to the housing section for the United.

Hale waves with a smirk before disappearing into a room not far from where the man ushers us to a door.

“Perhaps he just wanted you closer,” Brazen growls when he sees the short distance between us and Hale.

“I doubt he wants to hear what I plan on doing to you tonight,” I seduce, and the anger drops from his face to reveal his truly aroused gaze.

He shuts the door behind us, and I grab his tie to start pulling him to the very large bed in the minimalist room. His eyes show the menace his lips just start to as they pull me in and claim me hostage. My head falls back as his teeth dangerously scrape across my neck, and then his tongue plays across my collarbone before he carefully unbuttons the shirt.

My pants fall free to the floor to reveal the very slinky underwear I have on, and he immediately goes to work with removing his clothes. I feel the thud of the bed as we crash to it. His erection grinds through my lacy underwear and his designer boxers as he slides between my legs.

His fingers slide over my bare body until they reach the apex of my thighs. He moans as he slides my underwear to the side and dips a finger into the place quivering for him, and his lips stroll down to lightly kiss the place that can’t handle another second of stimulation.

I grip him by the hair to start pulling him back up to me, unable to play this game of foreplay right now.

“I love you,” he breathes into my mouth.

“I love you,” I groan, and his mouth trails down to my breasts to allow his teeth to just barely scrape over them before he slides my underwear down.

I moan loudly as I feel the throbbing intensify, and then his daring lips play against the inside of my legs again as he slowly crawls back up. My closed eyes shield me from the sight of his perfect body that would send me into convulsions right now.

His hot breath and cold skin set me on fire, and then I feel the slow burn of his erection sliding into me and swelling even more once it finally reaches its home. He fills me completely before his lips consume mine again, and I quiver around him as my legs tighten around his waist to keep him from withdrawing even a fraction of the way. I just want to feel his glorious body completely suctioned to mine for a minute longer.

He finally breaks free from my greedy trap as he pulls back enough to let me feel the slow sliding motion once more, and then I hiss between my teeth when he drags out his slow seduction for far too long.

I grip him to me, and his rhythm speeds up to be a more pleasurable, sensual, and damn unbelievable sensation. I finally open my eyes to see his broad shoulders flexed with their perfection as he steadies himself to move in and out of me.

I screech slightly when he reaches the point of starting my quickening. It’s been so long since I’ve felt his touch, and I’m damn near dying for it.

He moves slower and slower to drag out the suspenseful game of give and take.

“Please,” I whimper, and I see him almost smirk when his lips return to mine and his more natural rhythm returns.
