âWe donât have time for this,â one of the mercenaries said gruffly from the open door. âManson wonât wait for us.â
My fingers buzzed as I clutched my axe in one hand and held Thea with the other. If I needed to move fast, I could spin her behind me when I attacked, but for now I enjoyed the feel of her warm skin through the sheer fabric of her outfit. I fought the twin emotions of desire and fury as I waited to strike the enemy, my heart racing from the scent of Thea and the softness of her skin, but also from the anticipation of drawing blood. The combination of bloodlust and carnal hunger was so intoxicating that my cock throbbed, and I almost swayed on the spot, but I bit my bottom lip to keep me focused while also reminding myself that Thea was the last female I should want.
âIâm not going onto an alien planet that looks like itâs crawling with creatures without a laser rifle.â
So, we were on a planet. I didnât breathe as I waited for either of the fighters to step into the room.
âWe wonât be out there long. Manson said we gotta track down those pods, get the prisoners back, and then head back to Jarvelon.â
âWhich means the blasters we have will do fine. You know Mansonâs already leading the search party. If we donât hurry, weâll be left behind, and then we will have to worry about alien creatures.â
The other mercenary spat out a curse before he closed the door without stepping inside. I didnât move until I was sure theyâd moved away from the room.
Thea twisted from my grasp before I released her, her brown eyes blazing. âWhat was that?â
I suspected from her anger that she wasnât talking about the mercenaries, but I didnât know what had provoked her ire. âWhat?â
She stepped closer to me and pointed the blaster in my face. âJust because Iâm dressed like this, doesnât mean Iâm yours to touch.â
I opened my mouth to bite back that Iâd been trying to protect her, but then I realized that Iâd stroked my fingers down her skin absently as Iâd been waiting to strike. I hadnât even done it consciously, but as the torrent of blood lust and arousal had battled within me, my hand had caressed her skin. It had just felt so right.
Shame washed over me. âYou are right. It will not happen again.â
My admission made her lean back and frown, the anger in her eyes fading. âOkay, then.â
âCan we go take the ship now?â Koop shifted from one leg to the other. âIt might not take them long to locate those pods.â
âHeâs right.â Thea waved her blaster at me. âYou should still go first.â
Without another word, I rushed from the room with my battle axe at the ready. The mercenaries whoâd been outside the weapons storeroom were gone, as were most of the crew. As we raced through the ship, I struck down any mercenary in our path without question, and Thea and Koop jumped over the bodies that I left crumpled in my wake.
