Damn. He really wished it was her skin.
He slid his hand down until it touched hers. He stared at her face. Even in the low light, he could tell her cheeks were flushed, her eyes a little dazed, her mouth open.
He pulled her hand closer to him, but he didn’t force her. It had to be her choice to come to him. And not just for a fast roll that got them both off. He wanted the intimacy as well as the sex.
He let her hand go and it hovered over his cock. Then she lowered it.
He groaned. Her slim hand closed over his, their fingers meshing over his rock-hard cock.
“Niklas.” She helped pump him, found the rhythm, and worked him.
It didn’t take long. “I’m going to come.” A growl tore from his throat.
“Come,” she said. “Come for me, Niklas.”
He did, with a loud groan, his come splashing over the front of her armor.
CHAPTER TWELVE
Nera cleaned her armor and was surprised to find her hands were shaking.
Desire was pumping through her blood, hard and hot, and it left her shaky. She wanted Niklas stripped naked beneath her. She wanted to taste that thick cock of his, take it deep inside her, and ride them both to pleasure. She rubbed her thighs together, trying to ease the ache. Damn, she was going to suffer for the rest of the night.
A hand settled on the nape of her neck, and it gently tugged her face upward. His mouth took hers, lazily, but she felt the edge beneath the kiss.
“Thank you,” he murmured.
“It was my pleasure.”
His teeth were white in the darkness. “But not enough, right?”
She shifted again, that impatient need eating at her. “How do you know?”
His fingers tightened slightly on her neck. “Because you are never restless. No wasted movement. Ever. And right now, you look like you’re sitting on a nest of Zerzuran fireants.”
“I want you.”
He groaned. “I want you, too. When we get back to the ship tomorrow…”
The promise hung in the air between them. “Yes.”
“Time for the anti-radiation injections.”
She nodded. “I’ll take first watch. I don’t think we can both risk sleeping here.”
“Agreed. Those zombies appear to have some intelligence. If they figure out a way to get up here…” He shook his head.
Yeah, not good. She opened the fastening on her trousers and shoved her waistband down, turning on her side. “Wish I was baring my ass at you for another reason.”
He pulled out the pressure injector, but first he ran his palm over her skin. “So amazingly soft.” He injected her.
She returned the favor, letting herself drink in the sight of his firm ass. She was sad when he pulled his trousers back up.
“Come here.” He pulled her over, so she rested between his legs.
Nera had never snuggled or cuddled. Maybe she had as a young child with her family, but she didn’t remember it. She settled back against him, wriggling to find a comfortable position.
“Quit that,” he said with a growl.
