“Yes?” Was that husky rasp his voice? His steps felt sluggish as he closed the distance between them.
“I wanted you first,” she whispered once he was near. Her hands latched onto his neck and she rose up to nibble ridiculously sweet kisses along his jawline and down his throat.
Rook never knew his neck could be an erogenous zone. He wrapped his arms around her waist. His hands drifted lower to grasp her round ass and squeeze the plump flesh in his palms. Her moan played like a song in his ear as he ran his fingers beneath the sexy curves and squeezed again.
“What about Ahati?” he asked.
Any intel he could get now would benefit the team. Every word spoken would be picked up and recorded on the mic disguised as a button on his jacket.
“I didn’t want Ahati,” she said as she lowered back to the flats of her feet.
He didn’t let her move far. Staring into her eyes, he was caught by the intensity there. It wasn’t the color though the pale blue was riveting. It was the strength of will behind the orbs reflecting back at him.
“I guess I should be grateful. You’re worth fighting for.”
The blush coursed down her torso, drawing his gaze back to the heart of her. Dew glistened on the plump folds, visible evidence of her arousal. Tempest flicked the buttons of his white shirt until the material parted down the middle.
“Andyouare worth the wait. A delight to my senses,” she returned then dropped to her knees before him.
Her eyes glazed over, the passion soaked look making Rook glad for the rigorous training Kyele put the team through. Muscles lined his body from shoulders down and drew attention. It wasn’t boastful but Rook knew his appeal to the opposite sex.
When Tempest licked his torso, he sucked in his abdominal muscles and flinched. She raised her eyes, wicked humor glinting back at him as she nipped the taut flesh. “Not afraid, are you?”
Rook snorted and ran his hands through her hair, catching the short strands and tugging. She whimpered in response. “Turn about is fair play.”
When he attempted to pull her up, she resisted and made her way to his groin. At the first heated touch of her mouth on the head of his cock through the cloth, Rook growled. Her fingers gripped the length of his shaft in a firm hand and stroked up and down.
His head dropped back on a groan and he tightened his hand in her hair, stopping her. Panting, he said, “I need to go to the cleansing room. I’ll be right back.”
Tempest’s eyes widened and she fell back from her knees to her heels to stare as he moved away. Rook escaped to the cleansing room and twisted the lock on the door behind him. He braced his hands on the counter by the sink and stared at his strained reflection in the mirror.
Lust sparked the brown depths of his eyes. His hair was mussed from her hands, every breath a ragged exhale from his chest as he tried to slow his pounding heart and regroup.
Tempest had opened his jacket and undid the buttons on his shirt, leaving him in complete disarray. He hadn’t expected to be this turned on by a target. Kiss her, stroke her, say a few words to have her under his spell and slide the drug into her drink. Straight forward and simple but being with Tempest changed that.
Nothing was as simple as he’d planned. Her touch, her lips on his skin, every kiss and stroke sent him spiraling deeper. His eyes burned with the heat of arousal unchecked.
“You might have to go through with sex sharing in order to sedate her,” Hahn said in his ear.
Though he knew the comm couldn’t be heard externally, Rook turned on the water in the sink to muffle any potential betraying sound and tapped the mic once on his collar for yes.
“Do what you have to, Hunter One. Tempest has a history of disappearing after selecting a lover for the night. No one will notice if she’s missing tomorrow. Her habit is to our advantage,” Kjar added.
No one will notice. The words sliced at Rook’s gut. That a woman could vanish without question didn’t sit well with him. Or was it this specific woman?
It didn’t matter. The mission came first and he’d do what he had to. Rook tapped the mic once in confirmation again then drew a deep breath and straightened.
