He shifted. The line of conversation seemed to be making him uncomfortable. “Let’s just say our bloodline has stayed in charge for hundreds of our years. Thousands of Earth years.”

“That’s a long time,” Charis stated, watching the Earth below. This whole conversation was making her feel tired and confused. She wanted to tell Kahn she didn’t want to mate with Han. She didn’t want to mate with anyone, really. But she didn’t want to risk offending him or wrecking this beautiful moment of peace in an otherwise completely exhausting stream of events.

In the warm embrace of Kahn, his fingers circling her skin, she got very drowsy. She didn’t know when the last time was she’d slept. She had no concept of time here in space, but it felt like ages since she’d been in her bed last. Her head lolled against Kahn’s massive shoulder. His gentle breathing was soothing.

She slept.

She woke to someone gently brushing the hair away from her face.

“Charis, it’s time to go.”

“Go?” She blinked drowsily.

Kahn was leaning over her, gently tugging strands of hair away from her face and looking at her fondly. She smiled. “Why do we have to go?”

“Han is looking for you. And me.” He sighed deeply.

She sat up. “Will he be mad? Will he lock you up again?”

“Not if he can’t find me,” Kahn said darkly. “But you have to go. He won’t stop looking for me if I have you.”

She felt sick with that bottomless feeling in her stomach again. The sleep had really helped, but now she felt groggy and cotton-headed. And the thought of going back to Han made her even less inclined to get up.

But Kahn was above her, holding out his hand to help her up. And she knew if she stayed here, or went somewhere else with him, she put him in danger. And she’d already done that once.

She took his strong hand. He helped her up easily, and then opened the smooth hull by pressing his hand to it again. In the dark closed space, she turned to him. Because he had to hunch over, his face was much closer to her than she’d expected. She looked into his deep brown eyes.

“When will I see you again?”

He reached out, and ran a hand down her cheek tenderly. “Hopefully soon, but I can’t promise anything. He’ll be angry we did this.”

“It’s my fault,” she said, dropping her eyes.

His thumb and forefinger gently gripped her chin, and then lifted it until she was facing him again. He was so breathtakingly handsome. “None of this is your fault. Okay? Don’t worry about me. Worry about yourself. Find a way to do what it is that will make you happy, even if it means leaving this ship.” He said the last words with a tinge of regret in his voice that made her insides spin. Then he tilted his head, and pressed his lips to hers.

The kiss was electric. His lips were so soft, and his mouth tasted like summer rain.
