“Stay here,” Thargen said as he hooked several knives on the waistband of his pants, using the little clips attached to the sheathes. The gray morning light, though still weak, lit his muscles in harsh contrast to the shadows inside the shelter.

Yuri flicked away the pine needles she’d just picked out of her hair and looked up at him, brows furrowed. “Where are you going?”

“I need to kill something,” he said as he dipped to pick up one of the hardlight axes; the other was already in place along his thigh. His gaze shifted to the untouched meal bar sitting atop the pallet beside Yuri—the one he’d thrust at her when her stomach had growled a little earlier. “I’d prefer someone, but we’re overdue for some real food.”

She could totally go for some real food right now, but—

A pang of worry spiked through her chest.

“Wait,” she said, pushing herself to her feet. “You’re going out alone?”

Thargen stepped over to her. He still had to look down at her despite having to stay hunched over to fit in the shelter. “You ever hunted?”

Yuri blushed, and smiled sheepishly up at him. “Well, no, not in real life…” Way to be useful, Yuri! Those virtual games really paid off, didn’t they? “But what if something happens to you?”

He raised the axe and spun its haft on his palm, closing his fingers to stop it abruptly with the grip facing her. “Things don’t happen to me, terran. I happen to them.”

She frowned and took the weapon. Having it in her hand, feeling its weight and solidness, only increased her uncertainty; it was just a physical confirmation that he was about to leave. She knew he was strong and capable, knew he could fight, but however much he acted like he was invincible, he wasn’t.

And I don’t want to lose him.

Thargen hooked a finger beneath her chin and lifted her face toward his. “There’s nothing on this planet that can take me away from you, zoani. I’ll be back soon.”

Yuri eased closer to him, slipped her free hand around the back of his neck, and pulled him down into a kiss. She closed her eyes and parted her lips, flicking her tongue along the seam of his mouth. He growled and cupped the back of her head in his hand, slanting his mouth to kiss her harder. His tongue invaded her mouth and stroked hers, beckoning it—no, demanding it—to do the same.

The kiss was heated and wet, charged with the sexual energy that had been crackling between them since the moment they’d met. Yuri swayed toward him, arching her back. Her body tingled with desire. Her breasts were heavy with the need to have his hands on them, and her nipples had tightened into achy little buds.

It wasn’t until Yuri bit his bottom lip that Thargen grunted and pulled away from her. She moved to follow, to continue what they’d started, but he released the back of her head to catch her jaw, halting her movement.
