"Goodnight, Tasha," I say softly against her fiery hair.
"Night, Qhix," she mumbles, her voice a whisp of contentment.
Here, in the quiet sanctum of my ship, with Tasha by my side, desire and longing spin together like twin stars caught in a mutual orbit. And as I close my eyes, surrendering to the pull of sleep, I wonder if our paths will continue to converge or if destiny will tear us apart, leaving only stardust in its wake.
TASHA
I'm half-asleep when I feel Qhix working his way down my body in a shower of soft kisses. I know where he's headed, and he's welcome to break his fast between my thighs that are spreading wider in welcome. Eyes closed, I reach down, tunneling my fingers through the length of his silken strands, silently urging him lower.
He nuzzles my curls, his breath brushing hotly across my blooming sex. Just as his tongue flicks out to lap a circle around my swollen clit, a rhythmic chime fills the room followed by Qhix's clipped curse. I whine, pouting when he crawls up my body, reaches over, and silences the incessant sound emanating from the embedded panel on the wall next to the bed.
"We're here," Qhix announces.
"Here?"
"Crao—"
I gasp, shoving at his shoulders until he reluctantly rolls off me and I leap from the bed.
"I guess this means my cock will have to wait until later." Qhix props himself up against the headboard, crossing his legs at the ankle.
I snag my dress from where I left it slung over the back of a chair and swat at his feet. "Shouldn't you be on the command deck landing the ship?"
"We just pierced the Gilth Galaxy," he says. "The solar system where Crao resides is still a few minutes away."
I stare, annoyed at his tranquil pose while my heart hammers inside my chest as I hurriedly dress. His giant, blue, alien cock, fully erect, curves up from his pelvis, laying provocatively across his abs. Qhix is male perfection. Mouthwateringly gorgeous. He's the sexiest male I've ever seen in my life.
If it weren't for my long-awaited reunion with my girls, I would crawl back in bed and let him and his beastly alter-ego fuck me until I lay boneless and spent. But I'm too anxious to step foot on Crao to relax enough for any hot lovin'.
"Like what you see, pet?" Qhix basks under my intense gaze, making a show of stretching and curling his muscles to tuck his hands behind his head. "You can touch. I won't bite unless you want me to."
"Later," I smirk.
Apparently, this isn't as eventful a moment for him as it is for me. Why would it be? He'd been a prisoner on Crao, his ship stolen, and he was taken against his will.
"Why did you go to Zune?" I can't believe I haven't thought to ask this question.
"To obtain another Ziarian medical cuff from the prison's storage room." Qhix swings his legs over the bed and stands. "I gave the one I had to Cora and Navik. Remember, I told you she was expecting their child?"
"Another one?" I cock my head. "So, you've been to Zune once before?"
"Many years ago, after I heard rumors of a secret prison. I had to go see it for myself. The Ziarian prisoners were supposed to be mining zedon, but I saw no evidence of the rare ore. When I arrived, they were all in lockdown with no guards in sight."
"That's because the Ziarian government was creating monsters in a lab for their war effort using the prison population. They got loose and the guards abandoned the prison."
"I'm not surprised." Qhix clucks his tongue. "The Ziarian government is known for its vast corruption. Explains the strange life form readings I was picking up."
"To think, if you wouldn't have come back to get another medical cuff, I would still be on Zune, and we would have never met."
"That's called fate, Tasha."
"I've never believed in fate."
"Maybe you should." Qhix taps me under the chin and winks. "I'll be on the command deck."
"But you're naked." I drool over his perfectly firm, blue backside as he walks away.
"I don't need pants to land the ship." Qhix tosses a saucy smirk over his shoulder as the door slides closed behind him.
