Natasa’s pulse raced as she rested her head against Titus’s shoulder and fought to slow her breaths.

Sweat slicked her skin, and his arms held her tight, but for once she didn’t feel claustrophobic. There was no heat. Just cool, tingling sensations that reverberated all through her veins, into her limbs, even down her fingers.

“I…” His voice echoed against her ear. “Wow.”

A smile spread across her lips. Wow for her too. She could still feel him inside her, softening slightly but still there. Still long and thick and gloriously naked. “I’ll take that as a compliment.”

He chuckled, and the sound resonated from his chest into hers. Felt so damn good. “Next time I promise to do all the work.”

“How soon can there be a next time?”

He stilled beneath her, and she felt something—a shift in him somehow. Confused, she pushed up on one hand and looked down.

His hair was mussed, his features relaxed, but there was something in his eyes. A doubt. A worry. A fear that hadn’t lingered there before.

She rolled off him, tugging the sheet up over her body. Nerves ignited in her stomach, reminding her they might have this incredible chemistry, but there was an ocean of things between them they needed to discuss.

“How did I get here?” she asked, figuring starting with easy was the best bet all around. “And where is here? I have a vague recollection of a hospital room, but this doesn’t look like the same place.”

“We’re at the Misos Colony. I called Nick, their leader, and asked him to pick us up.”

“The colony?” She tensed. “Does anyone else…?”

“No.” He smoothed his hand down her arm. “No one else knows we’re here and Nick promised to keep his mouth shut.”

“Oh.” She relaxed back into him and stared up at the ceiling’s intricately carved wood beams. “And this room?”

“We moved you here after your temperature cooled. Thought you’d be more comfortable. Well—” a smile curled through his words “—I think Lena and the other clinic staff though we’d both be more comfortable. We didn’t fit well in that single bed together.”

She was comfortable with him. Very. The memory of him pressing deep inside made her hot all over again. She bit her lip.

He rolled to his side, facing her, and chuckled. “I might not be able to feel your emotions but I can definitely feel your body temperature heating up. Give me a minute to recover, okay? I may be a hero, but you have a tendency to overwhelm me.”

She smiled, the tension inside her easing. She closed her hands over his forearm lying against her belly. “I suppose since you haven’t had sex in a hundred years, I could cut you some slack.”

“Oh, I have sex.”

Her fingers stilled against the Argonaut markings on his arms. “You do?”

“Yeah. Why? Does that surprise you?”

“No. I just thought… Well, you said you couldn’t touch anyone.” Except for me. “That it had been a hundred years.”

“I haven’t. But I’m not celibate. A guy has needs.”

She froze beneath him.
