They both got up and got off. Kozien walked her down until they came to another ship. She was too tired to take anything in or look around. She wanted a nap. No, that wasn’t long enough. She wanted to sleep for days.
“You can sleep when we get inside,” he said, pulling her close. “You look like you need it.”
She looked away, seeing the name on the ship. PulXar Star Cruiser.
She felt her eyes growing heavy and didn’t even realize they were in a small sleeping bunk until she felt the sheets being pulled around her.
Kozien watched her, taking in the cloak covering half of her, the skimpy outfit hiding little. He sighed, finally able to breathe.
Gianna was okay. She was safe, and that was the most important thing to him.
“I’ll let you sleep,” he said, wanting to be the gentleman. After seeing her almost forced into sex, he was grateful to see her able to relax. He didn’t want to ruin that.
“No,” she said as her eyelids flew open. “Don’t leave me.” He could see the terror on her face. “Please.”
Kozien lowered himself next to her, pulling her into his arms. She relaxed into his body and rested her head against his shoulder, her arms held close to his chest.
He pulled her closer, feeling her shiver underneath the cloak. He pulled the sheets up higher, trying to cover her as much as he could.
“You’re safe.” He kissed the top of her head.
She rubbed her face into his chest, and for a few moments, they just lay there clutching each other. Neither said anything as they thought about the disaster they had just escaped.
After a few moments of silence, Gianna spoke up in a serious voice. “I want out of this.”
“I’m getting you home as soon as I can,” he said.
“No.” She shook her head. “This.” She pulled at the cloak, taking it off. Kozien stared at the outfit underneath. He hated the skimpy outfit that was over her body.
“Do you want me to grab you something else?”
Gianna shook her head, and without a thought, stripped the outfit off. Kozien’s eyes grew wide, taking in her naked body.
“Here.” He pulled at the sheets, trying to cover her, but she pushed them away.
“Just hold me,” she whispered, crawling back into his lap. “I just want you to hold me.”
He didn’t argue with her as he pulled her close once more, not bothered by her naked body. At least, he tried to not let it bother him. He kissed the top of her head and then her forehead. He kissed her eyes, pulling her tightly to him.
“You’re safe,” he said once more, wanting to comfort her.
He kissed her cheeks and then the side of her lip. Gianna looked up at him and grabbed his cheeks before she leaned forward, pressing her lips to his.
It was soft, a reassuring kiss to calm them both. But the air shifted around them, and he pulled her back, sitting up. Gianna’s hands traveled around his head, grabbing his neck. The kiss deepened, and suddenly it was like they were gasping for air. Kissing was their oxygen.
“I was so scared,” she gasped. “I wanted you.”
“I’m here now.” He clutched at her hips and pressed them flush to his. He was hard. He knew it was wrong, but he couldn’t help his body’s response to his mate.
“Don’t ever leave me,” she whispered. “Ever.”
He flipped them, pressing her into the mattress. He looked down at her, seeing the look of despair written so deeply in her eyes. He cupped her cheeks, kissing each of them.
“I won’t.” He intended to keep that promise, forever.
Gianna pulled at his clothes, and he removed them with her. He threw his outfit on the floor, looking at her as he kissed her, tasting her, and not realizing how much he missed her essence. How much he missedher.
When they had sex before, it was because they were done fighting the desire they had for each other. But this time was different. It was soft and comforting.
