“This is your dressing room,” I said, pressing an inconspicuous pattern on what appeared to be a normal wall panel.
Multiple light-grey shelves and magnetic clothes hangers lay empty. A long bench covered with a red-striped, grey cushion occupied the center of the small rectangular room. The crew had laid Ravena’s bag on top of it.
I closed the door and opened the one next to it. “This is the hygiene room, although I believe you call it a fresher in the Western Quadrant.”
She nodded and gave the room a cursory glance. Her slight frown at the sight of the particle shower didn’t go unnoticed.
“If you wish to bathe with real water, you may use my private bath,” I said with a smirk. She raised a curious eyebrow. “This way, little bird.”
Ravena’s eyes widened when I pressed against a third wall panel that didn’t have the hidden symbol. It opened on a small corridor which led to my bath area, although it could almost qualify as asmall, ten-square-meter pool. As in her room, the back wall was one large window into space. The room was completely bare aside from some dim, recessed lights on the side walls, and a shelf with towels and bathing products. Ravena whistled, her eyes sparkling.
“I’m so all over this one,” she whispered and glanced at the front wall, accurately guessing that the central panel hid a door. “And where does that lead?”
“My bedroom, of course,” I deadpanned.
“Connecting rooms? How convenient.”
“Is it?” I asked, stepping closer to her.
I didn’t know what I’d expected but not that she’d step even closer, her breasts brushing against my stomach. Despite her respectable height, Ravena had to crane her neck to look up at me.
“Very,” she said.
Her boldness did strange things to me. I’d never been with a non-submissive female before, let alone one as forward as her. Leaning down, I placed my hands on her behind and lifted her up. A soft gasp escaped her lips, but she went along, wrapping her legs around my waist and her arms around my neck.
“That ‘nothing’ dress you wore earlier was better,” I growled, frustrated by her leggings and long-sleeved sweater that denied me the feel of her bare skin.
The memory of its softness beneath my palms had blood rushing to my groin. Not giving her time to respond, I crushed her lips while pressing her body closer to mine. Her lips parted, welcoming my tongue. I explored and plundered, savoring her sweet taste and wanting more. Although she followed my lead, she didn’t yield full control to me. Ravena’s hands fisted my hair, and she tilted her head to the side to deepen the kiss. Our tongues danced together before I sucked on hers. The sexy moan that rose from her throat almost drowned the chime of my door.
My brain froze for a moment, wondering who the fuck would dare disturb me at such a time. And then I remembered.
Pattel.
Fuck.
Breaking the kiss, I gazed upon my woman’s face. The smoldering look in her eyes almost had me ignore Pattel and carry her straight to my bed.
Soon.
I put her back down on her feet and straightened. Her confused look made me smile. She’d been so lost in the moment she hadn’t heard the chime.
“I have a guest.”
“What?” she asked, further confused.
The chime ringing again startled her, answering her question.
“Seriously?” she asked.
I chuckled. “Hold that thought. It will be brief.”
Ravena’s gaze burned in my back as I opened the hidden door into my bedroom and closed it behind me.
I ran my fingers through my hair to fix it and brushed a hand over my shirt.
“Open door,” I said, standing a few feet in front of it.
Obeying the vocal command, it slid open revealing my Councilman. His eyes flicked around the room, no doubt looking for the source of the delay.
