Chapter Twenty-Three

“Come. You’re getting cold in the water. I shall take you out,’ Rhilax murmured, once she’d floated back to her body.

After that mind-blowing orgasm and the stress of the past days, it was all she could do but drape herself over Rhilax. Her limbs were heavy, her eyes were weighted, and her heart was lead.

His strong arms wrapped around her and he strode to the shore, stroking her hair and whispering into her ear with such tenderness it made her eyes prickle. He set her on a large leaf on the sand in the sunshine. The heat sank into her wet clothes and cold limbs, warming her as much as Rhilax’s warm eyes did. She didn’t want that. Didn’t need that. Couldn’t cope with more emotional trauma. Shilsogar’s torture was easier to take, in some ways. It was easier. She knew where she stood—that of a victim, but now she was faced with things that were so much harder to deal with.

She brought her knees to her chest and wrapped her arms about them. His eyes travelled over her, missing nothing. Her cheeks heated as she thought of her brazen actions that had complicated matters for a few moments of stolen pleasure.

“You are perfect, my mate.” His deep voice rumbled around her. She broke out in goosebumps as the sound sank into her skin. She frowned at the offending bumps and smoothed them off her arm, wishing she wasn’t affected at all.

“You have honored me with your pleasure,” Rhilax said.

She gasped, her eyes darting to his. He saw her pleasure as an honor? She’d climbed him like a cat on a pole. Had used him disgracefully. Had allowed herself to be affected by him. “It shouldn’t have happened.”

She tensed, watching him. Wary. Instead, he smiled, and she noticed a dimple on his left cheek, hidden beneath his beard. A dimple of all things on an alien warrior who looked like he did. A cross between a dragon and a biker.

Dangerous on so many levels.

That purr he made began deep within his chest, and she instantly relaxed. The sound worked better than Xanax. “It is nothing to be embarrassed about. It is natural between mates. Just as I found pleasure in your touch, I will always allow you to use me in any way you need.”

She hadn’t just touched him. She’d jerked him off with two hands—and it had taken two hands. That was way more than a touch, but it wasn’t just that. It affected her in a way that was... profound. She couldn’t have that. She couldn’t have that at all.

“You don’t just exist for my needs, Rhilax,” she said. She couldn’t allow herself to do that again. Couldn’t allow herself to feel anything for him. Emotions led to being trapped. Emotions led her to losing her mind. She was never going to give away her power to another person ever again, no matter how sexy, caring, giving or gentle. Tenderness could entrap just as much as violence.

“It is honestly no hardship.
