This night had not gone the way he’d expected. He’d come because someone needed to watch out for Maggie and she didn’t have anyone else. Now, he had a job he hadn’t been looking for and every intention of taking her back to his place to prove once and for all that he was better than any dessert in existence.

It was time to accept reality. This had never been about protecting Maggie for the sake of the colony, or herself. He’d done it because he wanted to. Because he wanted her. A human. It was hard to believe, but it was happening.

“Are you going to put me down anytime soon? I don’t know where the hell we’re going, and I’m not really enjoying being upside-down after eating all that food.”

“My place.” His throat was raw from all the talking he’d done, so he deactivated his pain receptors. He needed to be able to communicate.

He waited for her response, not sure if she’d protest. If she did, he’d respect her choice. He really hoped she didn’t.

“Okay. But if we’re going to be traipsing through the woods, I’m going to need to change first. Plus, my jacket is still at the bar.”

Her jacket. Fraxx.

His medi-bots helped regulate his body temperature, so he’d forgotten how cold it was outside. With no coat and that short skirt…

He set her down gently and then unbuttoned his shirt.

“What are you doing?”

“You’re cold. I’m not.” He stripped off the shirt and wrapped it around her shoulders. It was so large on her that it covered more of her legs than the skirt did. Now he was the only one who could see her legs, he regretted the need to hide them, but it would take a few minutes to reach his home and she needed to stay warm.

He expected her to button up, but instead she walked up to him and placed both hands on his bare chest.

Her fingers were cool, but her touch was like flames on his skin. “You are… wow.”

“So are you.” He covered one of her hands with his and wrapped the other around her back, pulling her in snugly against him. She raised her head and uttered a soft gasp as their bodies met. He leaned down and kissed her, claiming her mouth with his and letting the taste of her brand itself on his senses.

When she moaned, he felt it as much as heard it, a buzz against his lips and tongue that was sweeter than any music.

Hunger tore through him, awakening base needs he’d tried to bury and ignore. Every cell in his body burned with desire for the woman in his arms. “Will you come home with me?” His voice was so raw and rough with need he wasn’t sure she’d understand him. He swallowed hard and was about to try again when she rose up on her toes and pressed a finger to his lips.

“Yes. I’ll go home with you.”

He scooped her into his arms and set off at a jog toward the artists’ quarter.
