“Yeah, Kaelum. Later. Definitely.”
His hand fisted in my hair, pulling deliciously, dragging my head back to look right at him.
“Last night was great. I didn’t have the chance to tell you—”
I grinned. At least I had found one way to tempt him into staying. “Not before you passed out from pleasure, no.”
He bit his lip, but a second later, his tongue darted out. He shrugged. “Yeah. Couldn’t help it, big guy.” When he leaned in, he dragged his teeth across the shell of my ear. I gasped. “That incredible cock of yours, buried so deep in my body, filling me up, stretching me so wide,” he whispered against my ear. “I’ve never felt anything better.”
I groaned, grabbing his ass and dragging his hips against mine. His body moved in a languid wave, pushing his hot hard shaft against mine through the barrier of our clothes.
His lips dragged over my temple, and I turned my head. Ree was curled up, sleeping under blankets. I couldn’t see her face, so she—she couldn’t see us.
I groaned, and Lucas’s mouth caught mine. “Stay quiet,” he whispered.
He was so little, but his body was sensuous, sensual. He rode me expertly, dragging the warmth at the split of his legs against me, rocking harder every time I had to bite my lips to muffle a moan.
Before I knew what was happening, before I cared, pleasure ran through me in a sweet, searing wave. I came, pumping wet and slick in the front of my trousers, so much come that my dick was drowning in it, trapped beneath my leathers.
I buried my mouth against his shoulder, biting against the smooth fabric, my tongue searching out the heat of his bare skin through the silken folds.
Breathily, Lucas petted the back of my neck.
“So, we maybe need a bath before we rescue our people, huh?”
I huffed, turning my cheek to rest against his shoulder and stare up at his beloved face. “If that gets you naked, my Lucas, then yes. I require a bath before all acts of heroism.”
CHAPTER25
LUCAS
Taking a long, hot bath as preparation for breaking and entering felt weird, but it was also nice. And as weird as Kaelum was being, it calmed him down a little.
I’d be the same, I supposed, if I was about to commit a crime to help people I barely knew, even if, as he said, they were his people too.
And oh boy did I love that he said that. That he thought it. He was part human, and he damn well knew it, and he owned it. It made me like him even more.
Shh, no saying the L word.
I’d only known him a week, maybe less. It was way too early to be jumping into forever.
Right?
On the other hand, it was impossible to ignore his adorable smile when I insisted on helping him lace his pants. If I was going to be living on Thorzan for the rest of my life, I had to learn how their freaking pants worked, right? I was not going to spend the rest of my life in gauzy silk vests and such.
Though Icould... and theywereridiculously comfortable...
Hm.
Sneaking the three of us into Crux’s lab was shockingly easy. Either Kaelum and Jax were master criminals in the making, or the Thorzi didn’t spend much effort protecting themselves from crime, relying instead on their reputation for strength and presumption of honesty.
It only took them a moment to open the door to the lab, a nondescript and sturdy block of stone like all the other doors between major sections of the... palace, or city, or whatever it was. When it slid open, though, the wild, overgrown halls that were open to the atmosphere and covered with the not-person-eating kind of vines gave way to something more like the spaceships we’d arrived on. All cold and clinical, smooth shiny metal surfaces and modern-looking keypads.
It had been easy to forget while living among the Thorzi, that they were vastly ahead of us, technology-wise. They lived a lot like humans, if you discounted the giant semi-underground, semi-open to the air city, built into the side of a cliff. And the enormous hovering stone disks that took you where you needed to go.
Okay, fine, it was apparent everywhere, but for the most part, it felt normal. No one was beaming up or shooting laser guns or anything science fiction had taught me to expect.
Crux’s lab felt futuristic like a movie’s idea of futuristic. The Thorzi city simply felt different.
