asked whether she had ever been with
a man after all. There had to be a reason he was asking her and why
he wanted to know more about her. His reaction to her touch was
another thing. She had seen the way his pale blue pupils had
dilated when she had taken his hand and heard the stifled inhale of
breath when she had touched his ears. He acted as though her touch
was electric. Perhaps it was just because he was cold blooded, but
something inside her said that it was more than that. Did he feel
the same intense need as she did whenever they touched?
He seemed the adventurous
type and she couldn’t deny that she was attracted to him. If they
made it off the ship, maybe he would join her and her brother in
exploring the galaxy. Maybe.
She would do anything to
convince him.
She liked the sound of
that.
He turned a corner and by
the time she had made it there, he was gone.
“ Tres?” she
whispered, afraid to raise her voice in case a guard heard her. The
duct was darker here and she couldn’t see very far ahead of her.
She slowly moved forwards, her heart beating fast and her arms
trembling. What if he had fallen down somewhere? Could his ocular
implants make him see in the dark?
There was a blue light
shining up from the floor ahead.
“ Renie,” Tres
said and her heart fluttered when his head popped up from the
floor. “This way.”
He disappeared
again.
She moved to the edge of
the opening in the floor of the duct. There was light below her.
Tres was standing on what looked like a metal grate. Below him was
an eerie blue glow. Sitting at the edge of the opening, she took
short sharp breaths, trying to psyche herself up into dropping to
the floor around ten feet below her. She grasped the edge of the
opening and began to lower herself.
A flush of heat washed
through her when Tres’s hands caught her hips and she let go of the
duct when he gently lowered her. Her hands came to rest on his
shoulders and her eyes met his as he slowly brought her down to
him.
When she could almost
touch the floor, he stopped, staring into her eyes in way that made
her heart pound.
Impulse battled against
sense.
Tres blinked slowly, his
blue pupils fixed on her, strangely bright in the dim glow from far
below them.
His body pressed against
hers, cool and soothing.
His hands held her hips,
fingers pressing in and making her ache for his touch.
Impulse won.
“ Thank you for
helping me,” she said and he frowned before smiling.
“ I believe we
are helping each other,” he whispered and her gaze fell to his
mouth.
She wet her lips and
slowly closed her eyes as she inched towards him. The moment their
mouths touched, his grip on her tightened. She kept the kiss
gentle, not wanting to startle him or drive him away. It was time
she discovered whether it was more than her heat that he wanted.
Her lips slowly skimmed over his, tasting their
coolness.
The light brush of his
against hers made waves of shivers race through her. She wrapped
her arms around his neck, leaning in and stroking her tongue over
his lips. He groaned and opened his mouth to her. Their tongues
touching sent a jolt through her followed by an aftershock of
pleasure. His was cool against hers, probing her mouth as he
slanted his head and captured her lips.
He turned with her,
backing her into the wall. She buried her fingers into his long
hair as his tongue caressed her lips and then entered her mouth
again. She moaned at how cool his mouth was, his tongue brushing
hers and making her tremble with delight. He moved against her and
a shot of desire bolted through her.
He definitely wanted her
too.
His lips left hers,
trailing frantic kisses along her jaw and neck, each one
accompanied by a low groan of deep satisfaction. The galaxy
disappeared in an instant and there was only Tres, moving her back
into a shadowed recess of the walkway they were on and pressing her
against the wall there. She moved against him, her body overruling
any
a man after all. There had to be a reason he was asking her and why
