Dana joked about Roman beingbeekeeping agewhen I told her he’s in his forties. Which became even funnier to her once she learned that he called me honeybee. From that point on, he was officially known as the beekeeper.
I laugh, rolling my eyes. “Yes…the beekeeper is back in town. For good.”
“What?” She screeches with excitement. “Then why the hell do you look like someone just told you your dog is dying? Isn’t this a good thing? You did say the man rocked your world. Multiple times.”
I jump as someone clears their throat, embarrassment flooding my veins when my gaze lands on Roman.
“Sorry to interrupt.” There’s humor in his tone and a smile tugging at his full lips. “Lieutenant Travers, will you come see me in my office? There’s something I would like to discuss with you.”
My racing heart causes a warmth to spread through me, and I clear my throat. “Yes, sir. I’ll be right there.”
Dana watches as he leaves the room, her wide eyes turning to me as soon as he’s gone. “Oh my fucking god,” she whisper shouts. “Is Captain Pierce the beekeeper?”
I shush her, my eyes scanning the room to make sure we’re still alone. “Yes, but I swear I didn’t know until this morning. And I don’t want anyone else to know. For obvious reasons.”
“Your secret is safe with me. Always.” She zips her mouth, her eyes beaming with delight. “What did you say when you found out?”
“Nothing yet. We haven’t exactly had a chance to talk.”
“Well, go…” she says, shoving me toward the door. “And I want to know all the dirty details later.”
Roman greets me with a bright smile when I step into his office, his eyes drinking me in. He doesn’t say a word while he moves toward me, invading my space as he closes the door behind me. My head swims when his stare locks on mine, his fingertips shooting electricity through my body as they trail up my arms.
“Hi,” he says, his left dimple peeking out.
“Hi,” I breathe. “I can’t believe you’re here. That is…crazy.”
He lifts a brow, his head tilting. “Good crazy or bad crazy?”
“I’m not sure yet,” I answer honestly. “What are we doing? I mean…you’re my captain.”
“I’ll admit, that’s not ideal. But I really like you, honeybee. And I think it would be stupid not to explore this spark between us.”
Butterflies take flight in my chest as he closes the remaining gap between us, his hands landing on my hips. I want this so badly. I want him. But there’s a lot at risk here. This station is my home, if things end poorly…
I lick my dry lips. “And what if that spark turns into a flame?”
“Oh, I’m counting on it.” He leans down, bringing his mouth dangerously close to mine. “With any luck that flame starts a fire that can never be contained.”
I let out a soft moan when his lips connect with mine, all my worries fading away as I melt into him. The kiss is passionate and sensual, giving me that same toe-curling sensation as our first kiss. Every nerve in my body is buzzing with need by the time he pulls away, desperate for more.
“What do you say? Want to see where this thing goes?”
“I don’t know, sounds dangerous,” I tease.
He chuckles, leaning in to whisper in my ear, “I can’t wait to watch us burn.”
