Soul of Eon (Eon Warriors #8) - Anna Hackett Page 0,24

head.

Thane made a low, guttural sound. His face twisted. “Faster, Starlight.”

Kaira pumped his cock faster.

“I’ve never been this hard,” he growled.

She pressed her lips to his neck and never slowed her strokes of that big, thick cock. She wanted it inside her. Filling up the emptiness gnawing at her. Joining them together.

He let out a tortured groan.

“Come, Thane.” She bit him hard, the tendon in his neck between her teeth.

A strangled sound broke free of him, then wetness spurted over her hands and belly.

She pressed into him, both of them panting.

This was the sexiest thing she’d shared with anyone in a long time.

“Kaira…”

“Don’t say anything,” she said.

His arms tightened on her. They were silent for a while as their breathing returned to normal.

“We should clean up, and get our armor on.” There was reluctance in his voice. “We need to go soon.”

She sighed. A part of her screamed at her to back away from him, to keep her distance. But she just couldn’t anymore.

None of that mattered anyway. Their little respite was over.

It was time to get back to reality.

Kaira followed Thane and Lennar through the tunnels.

She tried to focus on the mission ahead, but she was very aware of Thane walking just ahead of her.

Touching him, stroking that generous cock… She fought back a shudder. She’d loved every minute of touching him.

Can’t think of this now, Chand. She gritted her teeth. They were headed to the surface and she needed to focus on that.

“Here.” Lennar stopped. The warrior touched the gold etchings on the wall.

Rock retracted to show a small, circular chamber beyond. The faint whistle of air filled the space around them.

“This will carry you to the surface.” Lennar inclined his head. “It has been an honor to meet you both.”

“Thank you, Lennar,” Thane said. “The assistance of the Mollai has helped us greatly.”

“We really appreciate your help.” Kaira smiled.

“Good luck, Kaira and Thane. I hope you find your people, and can defeat the Kantos.”

“I’ll go first,” Thane said.

He reached the entrance to the chamber and leaned in.

The rush of air sounded strong, even from where Kaira stood. Thane nodded to Lennar and his warriors, then looked at her.

“See you at the top.” He stepped inside.

He was whooshed upward fast and was gone.

Kaira nodded at Lennar, then stepped into the shaft.

She shot upward, the air rushing past her. Then she flew out of the shaft and into the morning sunlight. She landed in a crouch on the rocky surface.

“Are you all right?” Thane was right beside her.

“Ooh, that was a fun ride.” She straightened and looked around.

The mountains were closer, looming up into the sky.

She could see the cocoon base clearly now. Her belly tightened. There were also dozens of flying bugs moving in and out of it.

How the hell were they going to get up there?

“Look.” Thane tapped her shoulder. In the distance, a road wound its way up the side of the mountain. There was a steep drop on one side, rock walls on the other.

“Let’s check it out,” she said.

They broke into a jog. The rocky hill gave way to a flatter grassland.

They reached a patch of flattened grass. A half-mauled animal lay on its side. Its side was torn up and bloody. Lots of clawed footprints covered the ground around it.

Kaira frowned. Then a clicking buzz filled the air.

“Soldiers,” Thane hissed.

Shit. “Into the grass.”

They dived into a long patch of grass. Tense, they waited.

The buzzing got louder.

A small group of juvenile soldiers appeared. They hurried toward the carcass and started tearing into it.

Kaira pushed some blades of grass aside, watching the feeding frenzy. She grimaced.

One of the soldiers lifted its head. And looked their way.

Crap. She froze and felt Thane tense too.

The soldier took a step toward them.

No. Go away. She willed the damn alien to look the other way.

Suddenly, another soldier butted into the one watching them. It buzzed angrily and the two soldiers slapped at each other.

The group of juveniles kept eating until the dead animal was just a skeleton. Kaira’s muscles were aching from holding still so long.

Finally, the group moved away.

That’s it. One paused to look back, and Kaira couldn’t tell if it was the same one as before. Just as her pulse tripped, it dashed away after the others and was gone.

Thane released a breath. “That was close.”

“Let’s get out of here,” she said.

They kept low in the grass as they jogged toward the road. There was no sign of the group of juveniles.

Suddenly, the roar of a large
