Captive Heroes (29 page)

“Are you sure about this? I mean, after what you told the aliens and everything you’ve experienced here and back on Earth…what they did to us was without our permission. It was another violation.”

Blackie regretted the flash of pain flaring in her eyes. But then the pain was gone, replaced by a mischief he hadn’t seen before. He liked it.

She shook her head. “They let me see I needed to get help to deal with what I went through. I’ll get it. That doesn’t mean I can’t and don’t love you. Because I really do love you and, right now, I really need for you to make love to me. Love me.”

Oh man.

He shouldn’t take advantage of her vulnerability like this. He really shouldn’t. She’d been through too much.

She stood, her hand falling to the knot on the sash of her robe.

“We’re going to be away from each other for a long time, Blackie. I want something sweet and sexy to remember what we have. Something real. Not just dream sex.”

Oh boy, her bold side sure did turn him on. A lot. But still…he dropped his gaze, unable to think of how to handle this situation.

“Blackie, look at me, baby. Don’t be afraid of us. I can deal with this. You can deal with this. If you want to.”

“Oh sweetness, you have my heart.”

“I want your body too.”

Okay, he could see where she was going with this. She was testing him. Wanted to see where she stood with him. She needed to know he still loved her. That what they had experienced in their minds was really and truly valid.

He smiled and reached for the knot on her sash.

A blast of heat enveloped Kinley as Blackie untied her sash. Her robe fell open and his hands seared against her waist. As she looked into his eyes, she could tell he told her the truth. She held his heart. He loved her.

The aliens had asked her if she wanted what had happened to her back on Earth erased from her memory. She’d said no. That horrible experience was a part of her now. She was permanently scarred from that night but she had survived. For a long time it had turned her off to men and sex, but the aliens had allowed her to remember her need for love. The love of a good man. And Blackie was good.

She could see it in his eyes. In the scorching way he gazed at her, and that look didn’t have anything to do with the hot sex they’d shared in their minds. He loved
her
.

She waited anxiously while he slipped out of his white uniform. She’d always loved a guy in a uniform, but this guy she loved more
out
of uniform. When he stood in front of her, totally naked, he shifted uneasily as if he wasn’t sure what to do.

Understandable. This reality was new to both of them.

Reaching out, she slid her hands over his chest, the soft hairs and hot, sleek, silky-hard muscles.

“Condom,” he gasped, as she moved alongside him, loving the warm burn of his erection as it pressed against her pussy.

“I have one in my robe pocket,” she whispered. She made a move to reach for it, but his hand was already there, digging it out. She smiled when his cock twitched like a wild serpent as he ripped the foil and rolled on the condom.

“Do you think there is room for two in my sleep pod?” she asked. “I don’t want to be alone.”

“As long as you have me, baby, you’ll never be alone.”

From the intense way his eyes twinkled, Kinley knew he spoke the truth. Confidence and happiness embraced and hugged her tightly.

His head dipped and his finger tipped her chin upward. As his warm lips melted over her mouth, he slid his cock into her and she was already home.
