the
man you love in your life and I have the one that I love. I think this is cause
for celebration. Soon we’ll be out in space, where my family will never be able
to reach us. We have Bracken and Draven and an entire ship of men and women
that will stand between us and them if we need it. Right?”
“Of
course,” Sadie replied, then grinned when she turned. “Looks like our other
halves are finished with their chat .”

turned to see Draven approaching and had to keep herself from moving toward
him. She wanted to. She wanted to run to him but waited instead.
He
came straight to her, scooping her up in his arms to press a kiss to her lips.
“I survived,” he whispered not very quietly. Smiling at her, he kissed her
again before letting her slide down his body. Pressing another kiss to her
lips, he brushed his thumbs lightly to her skin. “We have a couple of hours
before we need to be at the evening meal. What do you say we go see what all
Sadie bought for you?”
“That
sounds wonderful. Hopefully there will be clothing that actually fits and
covers me.” She knew that wasn’t exactly the Craegin female way, but she hated
showing all of her body to the world.
“Then
we should return to our room,” he said. “Bracken had one of the security
officers drop everything off. Should be all sitting waiting for us. Let’s go
collect it, and you can dig through it all while we have the time.”
“Fabulous,”
she told him with a nod, then looked to where Bracken was carrying Sadie away.
She laughed. “Looks like he couldn’t wait to get her back to their quarters.”
She looked up at Draven with nothing but happiness in her heart. “And what did
my big brother have to say to you?”
“Mainly
keep you very happy or I’ll be extremely unhappy with what he does to me.”
Shrugging, he bent to hook an arm under her knees and lifted her. “Which I
fully expected. He’s very protective of you. He’s upset with all you’ve been
put through in your life already and wants me to make sure you know nothing but
happiness, freedom, and pleasure for the rest of your days. Although I
seriously doubt he meant pleasure the same way my mind chose to hear it.”

She
reached out and grabbed a couple more bags, shaking her head. “Good Lord, I
can’t believe just how many bags are here.” She saw the parcels that were
clearly from an art store and could have jumped in joy. “Art supplies. How did
they know?”
“Because
I told your brother,” he said. At her look, he shrugged. “You had mentioned it,
so I passed it along to him to see what he could get for you. I wanted you to
feel a little more at home here and thought it might help.”
“Thank
you,” she said with a grin. “Tomorrow we’ll figure out a place to put all of
this. Right now I need you.” She had been aching for him and now she was going
to be able to have him and couldn’t wait. “This is going to be so good between
us, right?”
Setting
the many items down inside their quarters, Draven shut the door and activated
the locking mechanisms. “It will be perfect between us. We were meant for each
other, Cecilia.” Taking her hands in his once she put her bags down, he tugged
her toward him while backing up. “The first time will be for us, to connect
even more and to begin to learn about one another. It will be pure love making
at its very finest.”
She
touched her hands to his chest, then wrapped them around his neck. His
hands moved to cup her ass, and he lifted her against him. Turning, he leaned over so he could settle her on her feet near the bed. Then
he stepped back to look her over. “Naked works best,” he told her. With a wink
he moved to sit down so he could work on the laces of his boots.
“Well,
you know how I love being naked,” she said with a smirk. She began to peel off
her clothes, watching him as he slowly worked on getting naked. He had seen her
naked, many times, but this would be the first time she
