Chapter Nine

Waking slowly, Juliette moved carefully, not wanting to disturb Torrin. She was sore. Well used. Satisfied in a way she’d never been before. She’d had lovers before. Plenty of orgasms. What she’d experienced last night with Torrin was on a whole new level. She was almost afraid to examine the experience. Somewhere along the line her heart had become involved. Damn, damn, and double damn. Now what was she supposed to do?

Lifting her head slightly, she watched him sleep. He’d insisted she stay near him, holding her as they’d dozed off, exhausted. They’d reached Cappra’s orbit while he was still deep inside her. Neither had paid any attention to the A.I. system notification. Now, though, Juliette looked to the flashing light on the side of the platform bed. All too soon he’d be leaving for his mission. He’d refused to give her any details about what he was searching for, much to her chagrin.

He wanted her to trust him. Stay with him. Belong to him, yet he refused to share more than the barest essentials about himself. She wanted to know everything about him. Every detail.

She’d promised him only one day, but her heart told her that was a lie. She’d fallen for him when she wasn’t looking during the three days on board the ship together. They’d laughed, talked, plus now she could mentally add having the most amazing sex of her life to the list. Who could blame her for falling for him just a little?

Juliette shook her head in disgust and dismay. She didn’t do commitment. Didn’t want to go through what her mother had endured. Realization hit her hard. Her mother was stronger than she could ever be. Losing Torrin wouldn’t just rip her heart out. No. Losing him would be much, much worse. The loss would break her.

Juliette put her head on his chest. The slow, steady thump-thump of his heart reassuring her as nothing else could. So what do I do? He said his mission is dangerous. He might not make it back. He doesn’t even have any backup. His unit is apparently too far away and that Falden jerk doesn’t want him to wait because whatever it is they’re looking for is constantly being moved.

She couldn’t help herself. Stroking her hand over his chest and down his arm, every feminine instinct she had drove her to stroke him, feel the contours of his strong body, so different from hers. He was solid where she was soft. Big. Strong. Male.

Juliette squirmed. He shifted, planting his hand on her hip. Her heart melted. Even in sleep he was possessive. Protective. But who will protect him? He has no backup.

No backup. She stilled. Her heart leaped. She could be his backup. She had skills. He’d even said as much. She’d successfully navigated Mora Five, hadn’t she? Reputed to be one of the most dangerous planets around, and she’d been fine. She could do it. She knew she could. All she needed to do was convince one very hot, sleepy alien to let her come with him.
