Chapter Thirteen

VARO STAGGERED into the shower, the hot water pounding down on him. He needed…. He didn’t know what he needed. Answers would be good. An explanation, maybe. Something to explain what in all the gods’ names just happened in there.

Never, never had he felt such heart-ripping desire for another soul. He let Adlar feed from him. He offered his neck to Adlar. Adlar could have ripped his throat out and bled him dry. He could have…. He wouldn’t. Not that. He wouldn’t endanger me.

He couldn’t say how he knew that, just that he did. Varo touched his neck, feeling for the bite marks. Sure enough, there were two small wounds on his neck. He ran his fingers over them. They felt slightly tender, but nothing that would bother him.

Turning his face to the water, he let it wash over him, soothing his pleasantly sore body. Sex had always been enjoyable, but what he and Adlar shared passed enjoyable. It shook the very foundation he’d built his life on.

All he knew about himself and the world around him had changed. He’d come so hard his teeth rattled. His cock threatened to harden again, and frowning, he looked down at it. That’s enough out of you.

Star-cursed thing had gotten him in enough trouble as it was. His stomach growled, reminding him he was hungry. Shoving all sexual thoughts out of his head, he washed his hair, then the rest of his body.

After finishing his shower, he dressed, braided his damp hair, and joined Adlar in the kitchen. Evening had darkened the land. Was it just that morning Adlar was attacked? How much his life had changed in such a short time.

Adlar cooked and placed a plate in front of Varo. Adlar didn’t speak as they ate. Which was just as well. Carrying on a conversation was the last thing he wanted. He was… confused. And tired. Tired in mind and body. His feelings for Adlar scared him. They left him reeling and twisting. He knew he couldn’t stop this… this—whatever this was—between them.

He wasn’t sure he wanted to, and that scared him even more. There were times he wished the Helkans had just blown him out of the sky. A split unit second of pain and it would’ve all been over. He wouldn’t be here possibly falling in love with his captor. Would he? Or was this more of a capture-bonding type deal? How could he possibly tell?

“Varo?”

Varo caught himself before he cringed. “Yes?”

Adlar stared at him, not speaking. Moments passed and finally Adlar spoke. “Are you okay?”

Am I okay? Well now, isn’t that a loaded question. I haven’t been okay since landing on this planet. “Yes, why?”

“You seem distracted.”

Distracted? Ah, well, I guess that works just as well as anything else. Yes, I could be called distracted. “I’m tired, is all. The day has been… eventful.” Varo snorted mentally. Eventful. Yes, that was one way of putting it.

“I see.” Adlar didn’t speak again until he finished eating. “Why don’t you go to bed, then? I have some… things to finish before I retire.
