Their lips crashed in a heated kiss that left her breathless.

The teasing caress of his tuft up her leg made her arch up against his hard body.

He slid a thigh between her legs, giving her the friction she needed. Then it was his fingers against her little bundle of nerves, bringing her higher and higher towards–

An alarm.

Coupled with flashing lights in the room.

Shit. That can’t be good.

“Dar, what’s happening?”

He was out of the bed in a flash, and grabbed his discarded pants off the floor.

“Meteorites in paradise,” he muttered as he struggled to get a leg in.

The alarm blared louder.

“Shoot. No time.” He threw the trousers to the side and just sprinted for the door. “Got to pilot!”

That was the last Emilia heard before he disappeared from sight. To pilot the ship. Butt-naked.

She stared after him for a moment, and then fell back onto the cushions with a snicker.

There seemed to be no dull moment with Dar, regardless of whether she was riding hisDickionor not.

Emilia burst into a fit of giggles.

CHAPTER 27

KARDINIA

Cocks-blocked yet again by the universe – why was he even surprised at this point?

Dargus sighed and focused on the task at hand. Which was keeping the ship in one piece so he could claim his mate once more before it was infiltration time. And then countless more times as they spent the rest of their lives together.

“Fruck!” The large metal pieces he was squeezing theDickionthrough just kept getting bigger and bigger, reminding him of his piloting lessons on the space obstacle course.

What was it with this space junk out here, anyway? When the alarm had sounded, letting him know of obstacles up ahead, he had expected good old meteorites. He had programmed the onboard AI to alert him precisely of such a scenario, since he didn’t trust the autopilot to not glitch during the evasive maneuvers. Rich in metals, meteorites had the bad habit of screwing with advanced electronics.

But here Dargus wasn’t dealing with meteorites. Nor was it a flock of spacephibians – a rare and magnificent sight that had nearly cost him one engine three years ago. It had to be space trash, but who would–

Spaceship debris.

The sechiona the thought hit him, Dargus knew it was correct. He should have recognized the origin of the big chunks of metal sooner.

“Fruck indeed.”

Whoever had done this wasn’t fooling around. And since the Sirdonian asteroid belt was just around the corner and the gala’s guests had already started arriving, it was a no-brainer who the culprit was.

Cubbie chirped, sensing how tense Dargus suddenly got, the 180-degree maneuver he was executing not having anything to do with it.

“Don’t worry, furball.” He twined his tail with Cubbie’s who was snuggled against his foot. “T’kala’s dad has gotten theDickionon the invite list. We’ll get to Kardinia unobstructed.”

The old pirate had assured Dargus a Terran by his side would get him in the gala’s venue afterwards, but then again… As much as T’chkala hated slavery and valued family, he was still a pirate and Dargus, an enforcement officer.

Cut it out, you paranoid fool! All will be fine.
