Fuck,this man is about to touch my breasts. I control my breathing as he reaches for the left side piercing, his left hand steady in the middle of my chest while his right lays the tracker delicately around the barbell in my nipple. It shifts way too pleasantly, sending pleasure shooting straight to my core, and he swallows hard as his lips curl up at the corners.

“You’re going to want to try harder to control your reactions if you don’t want us to sense them,” he says. “I felt that.”

“You said it yourself—erogenous zones,” I say. “Turns out I feel pleasure when I’m touched right there. Nothing to do with you.”

“Right,” he says. “Nothing to do with me.”

I’m confident he knows better, but neither one of us is going to admit it.

He pulls his hands away from my breasts, and with a touch of regret, he gestures at my shirt and says, “You can put that back on now.”

“Quick question,” I say, grabbing my shirt from the back of the chair where I’d tossed it. “This can’t uh…get sucked off, can it?”

Thatmakes him pause. “What?”

“The tracker on my piercing,” I say. “Remember—I’m here to seduce someone?”

“Of course,” he says. “Uh…no, it can’t.”

So I’ll need to ditch the nipple ring if I want to make an escape without Corvus knowing where I am. Damn—this was one of my favorites. Maybe, once this is all over, I can go home with Aelyd jewelry. Nowthatwould be novel.

“So what’s the last one?” I ask as I yank the top back over my head.

“The signal beacon,” he says. It’s a microchip, accompanied by a syringe. I wonder if this is going to hurt. “I’m going to implant this in your inner thigh. Should be relatively painless; no worse than an ordinary vaccine on your planet.”

“How do I turn it on?”

Neither of us misses the innuendo. His eyes are gold again, and it looks like they’re stuck that way.

“You’ll need to tap out the morse code for SOS three times, just over the chip,” he says. He kneels in front of me, and I suck in a breath as he loads the chip into the syringe. Now that he’s so close to my pussy, I’m sure he can scent how turned on I am. His eyes go a metallic shade of gold as he looks up at me, sliding one expert hand around the back of my thigh.

“Like I said, this might pinch,” he says.

He doesn’t know I’m a little into pain.

He slips the needle into my thigh, and I bite my lip as I try my best not to react. My core clenches as his left hand rides just a couple inches higher, though, and I let out a shaky breath.

“Remember,” he says, his breath puffing against my hip. His deft finger taps against the place where he just injected me. “Three times. SOS…SOS…SOS…”

“Gotcha,” I purr. Shit—I’ve been here for all of an hour, and I’m ready for this man to bend me over this table and impale me on his cock. Maybe it’s just that I’m going a little stir crazy from my two-week hyperspace trip.

Corvus isn’t saying anything, but he doesn’t get up either. His grip tightens on my thigh, his breath drawing closer. Why not? Would it really hurt to have a quickie with my handler to get this show on the road?

But he stands up, looks me in the eye.

“You can get dressed now,” he says.

I take a ragged breath and reach for my jeans, pulling them back up over my waist. I don’t bother with the hoodie; when my other bags get here on the next flight, I’ll change into something pretty.

“So now what?” I ask.

“Now, we wait,” he says. “Just another hour or so, and then you’ll be on your way to the Ganivet compound.”

I nod, reorienting myself and raking a hand through my platinum blonde hair. “Okay,” I say. “And you?”

He smiles. “I’ll be right behind you.”
