to, I have to defer to your judgment.
I’m sorry I snapped at you.”
    “It is okay Brennae. I understand how you must be
feeling. It will be hard but I want you to try not to worry. I am going to get
you out of his mess.” His eyes moved from her cheek to her lips. Parted softly
they beckoned to him. Their pink fullness was suddenly moistened when her
tongue darted out. He brushed his finger along her lower lip then dragged his
eyes from her mouth to see her eyes widened in surprise.
    Even with the sexual block, Marcael could not stop
himself from answering the call of Brennae’s body. Taking her legs, he spun her
on the medical bed until he could step between her knees. He pulled her toward
him until their bodies were flush against each other. One arm was around her
lower back, the other was under the arm she had wrapped around his neck and his
fingers were twisting their way around her hair. Leaning into her body, he
paused with his lips hovering just above Brennae’s. When her lashes fluttered
against her cheeks, he pressed his lips against hers. The warmth from where
their bodies connected surprised him. The heat flashed along his body, running
wildly in his blood, until with a jolt he could feel his body responding. He
felt Brennae’s fingers playing against the skin at his neck and back. Her mouth
was open for the plundering and his tongue took up the challenge. He felt the
tentative answer of Brennae’s tongue against his. Then they were rubbing and
sparring with each other. She let out a soft moan and he answered with a growl
of pleasure.
    Thrusting his hips against Brennae, he swallowed her
surprised gasp and then sighed into her mouth when she wrapped her legs around
his hips. Their kissing turned primal, hot and frenzied. Brennae was making
sexy, wild noises in the back of her throat. He swore his pants were going to
explode off his body if his shaft got any harder. He froze when he realized
that the sexual block had been broken. It was as if a bucket of cold water had
been thrown on him. He realized that he needed to get a hold of himself. This
was no time to be initiating a physical encounter with Brennae. They were in
the medical unit for crying out loud! Her uncle was still to be dealt with, her
family on Terraneu was in danger... they were in even worse danger and he
needed to keep a clear head.
    Forcing his mouth away from Brennae, he took in deep
gasping breaths. When he was able to speak, he rasped out, “How is it possible
that the sexual block is not working?”
    “A strong sexual pheromone from a female will break
through a sexual block.” Brennae whispered. Her voice was ambrosia to his ears,
sultry and soft.
    He owed her an apology. “I am sorry Brennae.” He
looked into her passion clouded eyes and noted with satisfaction that his
kisses had that effect on her. Wanting her to understand he continued, “I am
not sorry I kissed you. I am just sorry that this is not the right time or
place.”
    Her face flamed red for a moment, and she looked so
uncertain that he could not help himself he kissed her again, quickly moving
his mouth against hers. Pulling back, he nibbled gently on her lower lip, his
fingers massaging her scalp.
      She blushed
again then looked down between them. He put his finger under her chin and made
sure she was looking at him when he emphasized, “When we get out of this we
will continue where we left off.”   He
stepped further back and helped her off the medical bed.
      “I have to
move you out of here in case someone comes looking for you.” Marcael turned
toward the door then back to her, “I am going to hide you in my quarters for
now. We need to move fast, would you prefer to walk or for me to carry you?” He
had made the mistake of giving her the sleeping aide without asking. He was
going to try to give her as much say as possible from now on.
    “Would you please carry me? I would be more
comfortable with that option.” Marcael smiled slightly at her
