“Why cut the wall?” I asked, between the frantic, messy kisses I showered his face with. “Why didn’t you use the tunnel?”
“I couldn’t get to that section of the corridor,” he replied, looking somewhat stunned by my wild affection. “Someone was there, I didn’t want to lead them to the tunnel.”
“You’re alive. Are you okay? I can’t believe you’re free.” I grabbed his shoulders, touched his neck then cupped his face, all the while kissing him wherever my lips would land. “I was so scared for you. What happened?” I slid my hands inside his shirt, needing to feel more of him. “They caught you?”
“Blocked me off, in a dead-end hallway...” He walked me backwards until my back pressed against the opposite wall. “They barricaded me in. I used the laser of the gun to cut through the paneling of the wall and escaped in the gap behind it. You...” Holding me tight, he blinked and smiled as I kept showering him with kisses. “Did you miss me?”
Missed him? That was the understatement of the century.
Taking his face between my palms, I stared into his bright eyes.
“Vrateus. You are my treasure too, you know? You turned out to be the best surprise of the Anomaly, and I’m not letting you go.”
With a groan, he pressed his body to mine. Digging my fingers into his back, I drew him even closer.
His kiss was hot and frantic. I yanked my bodysuit open, wishing to climb out of it completely. I yearned to feel all of him with every inch of my skin.
We had no time, and it was the wrong place. So much about this situation might be wrong, but I didn’t care. Being with him felt right.
He was here, with me, and that was all that mattered.
The glide of his hands over my skin filled me with life. I yanked at the waistband of his pants, and he opened the fasteners for me.
Sliding my hand in, I found his hot, straining erection. Under my fingers, thick grooves swelled and pulsed along his shaft. He hissed under his breath as I stroked the ridges.
“Does it hurt?”
“No, my treasure,” he rasped. “But it’s a different kind of torture.” He lifted my leg to his hip, sliding his hand inside my panties. “There is no way I can stop this now.”
“Don’t,” I replied breathlessly. “Please, don’t stop.”
I needed this badly. The adrenaline still coursed high inside me. The lingering fear of losing him urged me closer to him. I rocked my hips against his hand between my legs, letting the rush of desire wash away the worry and fear.
“Let me see you,” he demanded, leaning back.
One hand on my neck, the other rubbing between my legs, he kept his gaze on my face. I stared back at him, losing myself in the vivid orange of his eyes, until the tide of approaching orgasm made me drop my eyelids.
“Oh, I want you...Vrateus,” I panted.
Before the pleasure crested, he entered me, sliding in firmly, in one smooth thrust.
A shudder rolled through his body, resonating through me with another wave of sweet heat.
“Better than I could’ve ever imagined,” he groaned.
His arms pressed into the wall above my head, he moved his hips slowly. The thick ridges on his shaft tugged at my opening, pulsing through my core with pleasure.
I moaned, rolling my head along the wall. My temple touched his arm, and I sensed his body tremble.
“Let it go, honey,” I whispered. “Don’t hold back.”
Even in the frenzy of passion, I trusted him not to hurt me more than I would enjoy.
With a deep growl, he shifted his hand behind my head, grabbing my ponytail. Hiking my leg higher, he brought us closer, plunging deeper.
I slid my hands behind his neck, gripping the fur on his nape. He drew in a sharp breath as my hands fisted tight. A guttural moan came from deep inside his throat.
His thrusts grew faster, more urgent, desperate.
The achy pressure building up inside me threatened to explode any minute.
Yanking my ponytail back, he latched onto the side of my neck, his teeth scraping my skin, without breaking it. The brief pain of his bite skittered with pleasure down to my chest and lower belly, setting off an explosive orgasm.
With a muffled, tortured growl against my neck, he came, taking me with him. Ecstasy rocked me in swells as I clung to him, letting the pleasure consume me.
Our bodies fused together, we remained at the wall, coming
