truth, every inch of her skin cried out for a sample of his touch. Hawk frowned at her as his fingers settled on top of the second button holding her robe closed. “Do you refuse because I am a Hunter?” The button was separated with one swift motion of his fingers and he stroked the skin beneath the separating fabric. Tova felt her heart accelerate as she tried to resist the need to whimper with delight. “Because…I do not know you.” It was a half-truth. There was a part of her that refused to insult the fact that he was dedicated to law. “I do not share my body simply because lust flares up.” Hawk nodded in agreement before her last two buttons were opened by his hand. Her robe parted and fell away from her chest, the fabric catching on her puckered nipples. She gasped but could not say if it was with anticipation or fear of having her breasts bared for his keen gaze. “True, and yet placing distance between us shall not remedy that issue.” His face became hard with his words. Iron determination shone from his eyes as his fingers swept down her bare torso and then back up to her chin. “Your eyes tell me you enjoy my touch, Tova. Admit it. That is not simple lust. If so, it would have been forgotten back on the street.” “Maybe. I have little experience with lust.” He raised a dark eyebrow at her as a smile curved his lips. She shivered as she caught the look in his eyes, the raptor he was named for was rising to the bait of her challenge. His fingers stroked down over her throat making her whimper as pleasure filled her from the contact of their bare skin. He stopped in the center of her chest and spread his fingers wide. The hand around her waist tightened as he brushed the side of her robe off one nipple. The fabric fell down the side of her body, baring her right breast. “This is more.” His voice was firm as he looked at her nude breast. He closed his fingers around her bare breast as her eyes rounded with amazement. Never had she ever thought that a male’s touch might feel so amazing. She could feel each finger as it cupped her soft breast and his thumb brushed her nipple. Hawk watched her as he touched her. His keen gaze felt like it was boring straight into her mind where the truth of her thoughts was open for him to see. “This is attraction. I’m going to taste your body.” She did not demand that he stop. Hawk stared at the mixture of excitement and arousal in her eyes. Indecision flickered there as well but at least that was something they shared. He would never have planned an attraction to an inhabitant of a penal sphere but the surging heat in his cock refused to be sated anywhere else. Comprehension sat solid in his mind as his cock stiffened to the point of pain. His arousal fed on more than the scent of her wet pussy, it was being fueled by the tiny sounds of delights rising from her throat as shivers shook her delicate body. Leaning down, he caught her nipple between his lips and growled around it as she gasped. Her fingers gripped his shoulders as she arched back, offering her breast to his mouth. Tova knew she was going to die and she did so willingly. Her body shook so hard, she knew her spine was going to snap but she tightened her hold on Hawk, refusing to release him. Pleasure filled her as his tongue flicked over the tip of her nipple. He lapped the tender point over and over again before sucking it further into his mouth. Because she held onto him, his arm left her waist and cupped her opposite breast. Hawk released her nipple and she moaned at the loss of contact. A moment later he bent and caught two handfuls of her open robe. When he stood back up, he pulled the garment right over her head and tossed it aside before he gripped her hips and lifted her onto the table once again. Tova gasped at the ease with which he had stripped her. Her arms crossed over her nude breasts as her bare bottom connected with the cool tabletop. Some of the trays of melios fell to
