He couldn’t help but inhale deeply, drawing more of her into his lungs as he sat down in a chair, taking his growing erection in hand.

He hadn’t touched himself sexually in months, but he did so now, desire a beat that began to pulse through his veins as he stroked himself in one smooth motion from root to tip.

Cazar shuddered, stroking himself again, imagining Evie’s lips wrapped around his cock, sucking him eagerly. He squeezed his eyes shut, wishing he could feel her warm mouth as it licked and kissed him in all the right places. Afterward, he wanted to lick and tease her as she had him, longing to hear her call out his name in the throes of passion.

“Cazar,” Evie said, and he groaned, pumping his fist harder over his length. He threw his head back, muscles straining in his neck.

“Evie,” he rumbled her name, working his cock to the same hypnotic rhythm she’d used when she’d had her mouth around him days ago. The memory consumed him and he groaned again, his orgasm rising to the forefront.

“Cazar!”

Cazar came at the sound of her heated voice, grunting as he pumped his cock, drawing more of his release from his balls as it spilled over his hand and onto his lower stomach. A small feminine gasp reached his ears, and the scent of Evie’s arousal suddenly filled his nostrils.

His eyes snapped open, and he turned toward his bed, his mouth dropping open in shock.

Evie wasn’t a figment of his imagination at all. But here, now, standing in front of him, with her mouth slightly parted in shock and her beautiful face flushed with heat, watching him furiously stroke his cum-covered cock.

Cazar stood abruptly, towering over her as he dropped his hands innocently to his sides. He flushed, realizing he’d just been caught jerking off to the thought of her. Worse still, the evidence of that was all over his hands and stomach.

“Evie! What are you doing here?” Cazar bent down, snatching up the shirt he’d discarded and frantically wiping himself off.

“Watching,” she answered breathlessly, her eyes locked on his still-hard cock. She blinked once and then shook her head quickly, her cheeks heating to a deep shade of red he’d never seen on her before. “No! I mean, I wasn’twatching. I mean, Iwas, but I tried to stop you. Kind of. I just didn’t expect you to–”

“How did you get on this ship?” he growled, afraid that if she kept talking he’d pin her to the ground and rut her like a mindless beast then and there.

Whatever reprieve he’d gotten from that small release was gone, and as her desire became more evident, flooding his senses, he could scarcely keep himself from taking her.

Evie stiffened her spine, standing tall, the lust clearing from her face in an instant as she glared at him.

“That’s a rich question coming from you. I should be asking the same thing.”

“I walked up the ramp,” Cazar answered, his brow furrowing in confusion. “Why would you want to ask me that when I’m the one who purchased this vessel?”

Evie threw her hands up in the air in exasperation, her breasts bouncing beautifully with the movement, completely distracting him until she spoke again, her voice filled with pain.

“I don’t want to talk about how either of us boarded the damn ship, Cazar. I just want to talk to you. I’m so tired of you avoiding me. And to know you went on a super secret mission to another planet without even bothering to tell me? How much more irrelevant can I be to you?”

Cazar reeled back as if she’d slapped him. “You feel that way?”

Evie sighed, the sound forlorn as she ran a hand down her face. “Of course, I do. You never talk to me, you turn me away when I come to see you. I finally thought we were making progress, and then everything happened with your dad… It just seems like everything is worse than it ever was before. I told you how much your behavior hurt me, yet at the first opportunity, you did it again. I just don’t know what to do.”

Evie turned from him as her voice cracked, moving over to the head of his bed and sitting down. He followed her immediately, wiping himself off further as he went before tossing the shirt to the ground behind him.

He knelt at her feet, noting how much smaller she was than him. He’d always liked their difference in height, but now that he’d been physically altered, it was even more obvious. He wanted to reach out and touch her, but anxiety kept him rooted on the spot.

He felt like one wrong move could cost him everything with her, and he’d give anything to keep from losing what had been growing between them since the moment he laid eyes on her.

“I’ve never courted another before, nor have I been in a relationship,” he admitted softly. “I’m not sure what to say.”

This wasn’t a scientific mystery he could solve after hours of experimenting in his lab. This was the future of his life with the woman he cherished above all else.

Evie snorted, but the sound was devoid of humor. “You’re smart. I think you can figure it out.”

Cazar paused, his hands fisting at his sides. The fate of his relationship with her rested on what he would say next, but fear kept him trapped, nervous energy coursing through him as he struggled to find the words she needed to hear. Words he needed to tell her.

“I think about you all the time,” Cazar blurted out, his voice raising an octave before he cleared his throat awkwardly. “About the first time I saw you at the hospital when you arrived on Aragnok. Do you remember?”

Evie lips curled into a soft, sad smile, and she looked down at her hands, breaking eye contact. It was such an uncharacteristic move from his vibrant mate that Cazar felt he’d already lost her.
