confusion. How could she feel the pull if they weren’t compatible?
His fingers slid in and out, while his thumb circled her sensitive clit. She arched into each stroke, taking him deeper and increasing the pressure of his thumb. Sensation swelled inside her, cresting only to swell again. When the tension finally broke, she cried out sharply, trembling in his arms. Pleasure eclipsed reality as she was consumed by release.
He prolonged each shuddering pulse as his mouth returned to hers. His fingers eased from between her legs and he moved his hand to her hip. Their kiss turned slow and soothing as she drifted back to reality.
“I don’t understand,” she whispered when his lips finally lifted from hers.
“You were playing hard to get.” The playfulness in his tone kept her from taking offense.
“Not intentionally.” She finger-combed her hair back from her face as her surroundings came back into focus. She was naked, while he was fully dressed, and they were in the woods where anyone could have walked right up to them. “What made you try again?”
“I’m stubborn by nature, but I know myself well enough to trust my instincts.”
She wasn’t sure that answered her question, so she tried again. “Did someone suggest you take things further, or was this just a lucky guess?”
His lips curved without parting, his gaze still hot and hungry. “I had your DNA analyzed, then compared with mine. As I hope you’ll now agree, we are genetically compatible.”
“That’s why you went back to Lunar Nine.” It wasn’t really a question and before he could reply, a breeze wafted across her heated body, reminding her she was naked. She shivered then drew her hair forward, covering her breasts. “I should dress before someone sees us, then we can talk.”
His fingers wrapped around the back of her neck and he tipped her face up with his thumb. “You’re my mate, and I’m yours. What else is there to say?”
She scrambled off his lap and quickly stepped out of reach. He could have stopped her. She knew how fast he could move. But apparently he’d made his point, so he’d allow her to retreat until he was ready to pounce again. “This conversation has barely begun. You’re consumed by this rebellion. I know the kind of life your mate would live.”
He climbed to his feet with deliberate slowness, each movement predatory. “My mate will be cherished and protected. I will do everything in my power to ensure her happiness.”
“When you’re not off killing planetary rulers or threatening alien governments with invasion. I’ve been listening closely these past few days. If Morgan and her shadow supervisors deny you access to human females, you won’t let that stop you. You’re General Nox, envied by many, but feared by everyone.”
His gaze swept down her body with insolent heat. “You better get dressed if you’re going to continue provoking me.”
Her Aunt Haven had warned her that defiance was an open invitation for a Rodyte male to prove his dominance. Berlynn took a deep breath and softened her tone. “I’m not trying to provoke you. And I’m honestly glad that a relationship between us is an option. However, you need to understand that an option is all this is. I’m not sure I want to be General Nox’s wife.”
“Wife is a human term. You would be my mate, a bond far deeper than any human can achieve.”
“That’s not the point.” The wind caught her hair, momentarily exposing her breasts. Berlynn covered them with her arm, but not before Garin’s gaze gravitated from her face. “Let’s continue this inside.”
He inclined his head, his expression tense and unreadable.
Careful to remain just out of reach, she moved through the familiar woods and found her clothes. She lifted her calf-length dress over her head without bothering with her underwear. At this point covering herself was more important than being properly attired.
“Do you always wear dresses?” Garin had fallen
