blue Primus built of pure muscle barrelling through the human colony is enough to keep anyone from trying to stop us. His long strides quickly carry us far from the governance building and Gaius’ goons.
“I’m sorry, Pax. I didn’t want to sit back and wait for something to happen to you.”
Though he’s running at full speed, he speaks as if it does not tax him. “You should never have put yourself in so much danger.” His voice is filled with barely suppressed anger. But then his features soften slightly. “But you make me proud with your strength. I saw you kill the human. Many Primus—” he falls silent for a second as he holds me tight and leaps nearly twenty feet to bridge the gap between two platforms. “Many Primus youths flinch before their first kill. You were fearless.”
I smile with a strange mixture of pride and guilt. More confused than anything. If I had time to think about it, I know I could have never taken someone’s life. But in that flash of an instant, I also knew it was him or me. Instinct kicked in and I reacted. It was nothing more than the will to survive, but still. . . It feels dirty and wrong. Whatever that man was doing, he was doing because he thought it was right. He had his own reasons and motivations and I took that from him. But I refuse to dwell on it. I’ve chosen my path and it will not be an easy one. I just need to focus on knowing the end will be worth it.
Pax slides a hand up to cup my breast, smirking. “Perhaps I will punish you for your disobedience. Among my people, we have a tradition when a female steps out of line. I believe your people call it a blow job. ”
I grin back at him. “You do realize we’re being hunted by a small army right now? And you’re talking about blow jobs?”
Something fiery and hot enters his eyes and he smirks even wider. He takes a sharp turn and simply steps off the edge of a platform. My stomach lurches but I clutch tight to him, trusting that he knows what he’s doing. He grabs a vine and we’re suddenly swinging in a long, upside down arc. We land in the nook of a Loris tree that splits in three directions. Between the leaves and the thick branches, we must be nearly invisible. I can still see the distant lights of Jektan above us, but I doubt any will see us here. Is he really. . .
He sets me down and begins to unstrap his pants.
“Wait,” I say, “You heard Gaius. He has a man on the way to Kolka right now. We can’t afford to stop.”
“We must,” says Pax. “The only path to Kolka without a shuttle is well known. It will be heavily guarded during the day. During the night, fear of beasts will give us the cover we need to pass unseen.”
“Who cares if we’re seen!” I say. “We need to get there and help.”
Pax hesitates, his smirk slipping. “I am not welcome in Kolka. If they know I am coming. . . They will do their best to keep me out.”
“Why aren’t you welcome?”
“I did not exile myself as the result of a happy and peaceful rule,” he says, voice clipped and sharp, cutting off any line of questioning I might have been tempted to pursue.
“So we just sit here on our hands until night comes?” I say before the silence growing between us becomes too uncomfortable.
“Yes,” he says, face hard.
I sigh, knowing that I have brought up something in his past that hurts him, and if we’re going to be stuck here anyway. . . A small smile forming as an idea occurs to me. “I want you to take off your pants. Slowly.”
The fire in his golden eyes returns. Using one hand, he pops the button of his leather pants. He takes a step toward me, using his thumb to pull the waistband down enough to give me a glimpse of the way a sharp “v” of muscle carves down toward his cock from his stomach. I hear him begin to purr as he moves closer still and takes my hands. He puts them on his pants and waits.
I kneel, pulling them down slowly until his cock bursts free, standing fully erect. He bends
