Damon had seen some pretty amazing things in his life—the royal gem collection of Windassia, the firefalls of Molta, and the monastery of the pilgrims on Paradarn.

But all those things paled in comparison to the stunning wall of incredibly detailed carvings in front of him. They depicted curvaceous women wearing willowy wisps of translucent white fabric doing an array of activities—healing the sick, tending offerings in an incredible temple, bathing in a lake and…hmm, having sex…with men and women.

But none of that was as interesting as that damn look on Lexa’s face. Her eyes were glistening as she took in the engravings and the bright paint barely dimmed by the millennia. Her face was a little flushed, her eyelashes fluttering. There was excitement but also reverence.

Yep, a man would sell his soul to have her look at him like that.

With a silent curse, he adjusted his trousers. Damn cock was almost constantly hard now. He had to have her soon or he wouldn’t be able to walk.

“Look at the glyphs here.” Lexa rushed forward, her hand sweeping over what looked like some sort of writing. “This is the Orphic language.”

“I’ll get some pictures for you.” Damon pulled out his Sync and took the shots.

Her smile was blinding. “Thanks.” Then her face paled. “Look.”

And he saw it. A priestess, her lush curves barely contained by her dress, holding a red egg covered in gold filigree in her cupped palms.

“Unbelievable,” Dathan said. “A part of me didn’t believe it was real.”

Lexa moved back to the glyphs. “Okay, I think I can translate most of this.” She wrinkled her nose. “Wish I still had my old Sync with my Orphic database, but I can make do.”

Damon watched her mutter to herself, touching the glyphs, moving back to previous ones. She stared off into space for a second, then started reading again.

Suddenly, she spun in a giddy circle. She grabbed Dathan and planted a loud kiss on the kid’s lips. Dathan looked startled for a second, then grinned like an idiot. Damon scowled.

But Lexa leapt on him, her legs clamping around his waist. He grabbed her fine ass to steady her. The kiss she planted on him was nothing like the one she’d given the young treasure hunter.

God. Desire exploded, smacking into him like a starship. Her hands gripped his hair, her mouth hungrily taking his. He groaned. She tasted like all his favorite things rolled into one.

“Man, do I feel like the third wheel.”

Damon rested his lips on Lexa’s forehead and shot Dathan a look. “One day, you’ll find your own woman.”

Dathan cast a long look at Lexa. “Not sure I’ll ever find class like Dr. Carter, here.” He straightened and grinned. “And I don’t want some astro-archeologist who’ll bitch at me for being a treasure hunter. Besides, there are so many beautiful women in the galaxy. Why limit myself to one when I can spread the joy around?”

Damon shook his head. He’d believed the same thing not that long ago. He looked down at Lexa, who was rolling her eyes.
