CHAPTER FIVE

“J’EXCUSE?” I SAY with absolutely no regard for the french language. Some things are just fun to say.

“What?” he looks back at me, utterly baffled.

I let out a sigh. Really gotta watch myself on the colloquialisms around this dude.

“What are you excuse for?”

I look at him long and hard. How is he bungling speaking so badly and yet…

“I’m sorry, am I to believe that you understand French too?”

“Yes. Why sorry? Why excuse?”

“Um. I mean. Habit, but also I never got far in French. What I meant was ‘excuse you?’”

“What say me?” he asks. His grammar needs work, but his accent is getting more clear. Which is a shame, cause it’s kind of cute.

I shake my head and laugh, because… what can you do.

“You told me to get off.”

His eyes go wide and then narrow with a dangerous darkness as his gaze flicks across my body. Great. He apparently didn’t mean it that way but now I’ve said it and now he understands what he said and now we’re both thinking about it and the air in here is real fuckin’ hot.

“I need get out,” I mutter under my breath.

“Get out,” he says rather tersely.

His hand presses up against the ceiling of the pod and presses. I try not to shiver as his bare arm and all those densely corded muscles brush up against my cheek because of how close we’re packed in here. Or notice how his other hand grips at my hips for leverage, pressing me against him.

Or that he’s hard. I think?

Do aliens get hard? Maybe this is how he is normally. Maybe I’m misinterpreting everything and he’s a perfectly innocent alien here to study human life.

Guess I gave him a life study up close and personal.

He lets out something like a growl, soft and low in his chest and I swear I feel that hardness at my back tighten. If that’s what he’s packing, it’s fucking huge.

My hands are on the outside of the pod before I let myself ruminate on his package any further. His hands come up to my waist in an effort to help me press through the opening, but this triggers my never-ending need to let men know I’m perfectly fine without their help.

“I got it,” I grumble and jerk my body up with a little kick for good measure.

To his credit, he lets go, just watches me as I escape his escape pod. Once I’m out, I roll down the side and land as gracefully as I can once my feet hit the ground. Considering how many weird places I have to get to for installations and fixes, I’m proud to say that I only wobbled a little. My sister would have been proud of me for sticking the landing, but gymnastics was always more her thing than mine.

“Well, thanks for the excitement, I guess. See ya. Or not,” I mumble and walk toward my car.

Max is up and out of the pod in seconds. He makes me look like a toddler with how much finesse is in his little finger.
