Zar didn't want the trip to end. Not because he was scared of the mission—the chance to hit Corporate Services on their own turf, to really hurt them, was worth the risks. But that meant working, and the end of whatever this thing was that he and Yashilla had started. The five days since the pirate attack had passed in a blur of planning, frequently interrupted by rounds of lovemaking. Already, his hand itched to touch her again.

As though summoned, she walked back into the room. She had a towel tied precariously around her, and rubbed another through her hair. Her grin could only be described as predatory as she crossed the space between them and planted a kiss on his shoulder. "Who said you could put on pants?"

He chuckled, warmth blossoming under his skin even from the incidental kiss, then indicated the water boiler in front of him. "Self-preservation. The other option was to risk burning something sensitive, and then you'd be disappointed."

She snorted, reached past him, and grabbed the food packet he'd already prepared. "I suppose it's okay then." After collecting a spoon, she flopped down on the composite bench and leaned against the wall. "Zero hour today."

The words twisted in his gut, killing what little appetite he had. Only knowing that he'd need energy to fight made him finish stirring hot water into the envelope of food before he wandered over to join her. She immediately shifted to lean against him instead of the wall.

He planted a kiss on top of her head. "What's the plan?"

As though they hadn't been discussing it in detail. As though they hadn't practiced segments of it until they were exhausted and his skull ached as badly as his muscles. They would need to be perfect to pull this off.

She shrugged. "At this point? We make it up as we go. That's what works, near as I can tell. Or you could charge in naked. That would make them run in terror. Or swoon."

"Somehow, I doubt they're the swooning kind." It didn't stop him from laughing at the thought.

She placed her food on the floor and rolled to face him, losing her towel in the process. The heat of her skin against his blazed through him, and the pants she disparaged suddenly felt tighter. "They could be, you never know. I didn't think I was either." She raked her nails across his chest, leaving parallel welts that set his blood to boiling.

He cupped the cheeks of her ass to lift her face the rest of the way to his mouth. "You do many things, swooning isn't one of them." He nipped at her chin, then her bottom lip before kissing her.

The floor rumbled and vibrated, and she pulled away immediately. Her face went slack as she scanned the ship's systems before standing and focusing on him. "We just adjusted direction and speed. We're on final approach to the Bulwark."

His heart sank, and he forced himself to remember that what they'd had on the ship had always been a fantasy.
