Not Compatible - Viola Grace Page 0,6
human but damaged. She didn’t quite believe him because all of the humans that she knew didn’t glow softly in the dark. Mr. Blue had also told her that she wasn’t compatible with any of the races that visited the station, including humans. It was a bit of a contradiction that didn’t really matter. Her body was too jacked-up for more than a quick glance anyway. Wait, so why is he...
She shifted slightly, and his erection was definitely against her back. From his vantage point, he could see the worst of the damage. Apparently, for him, it was not a turn-off.
Her body was in shock at the possibility that his attraction presented. Her body was going to ache like hell tomorrow, so she had one day to do something. Maybe.
“How long is your ship going to be here?”
“Three or four days. Why?” His whisper was hot in her ear.
She couldn’t say it. “It doesn’t matter.”
“I think it does, but I will not press you.”
She held up her hands. “I had better get out. I am getting all pruney.”
His arms didn’t release her. “I don’t want you to go.”
She chuckled. “I am just going back to the sauna now that it is quiet.”
He touched her chin with a wet hand and turned her head toward him. “One more kiss.”
He leaned over her, and his lips met hers in a kiss that sent waves of heat tearing through her. She clutched the hand cupping her jaw and met his tongue with her own but with less twisting dexterity. She was gasping and moaning, her body was throbbing, and he had only had contact with her mouth. When he raised his head, his eyes were red, and his smile was smug.
“Now, you can go.”
She didn’t want to say that she wasn’t sure her legs would carry her, but she turned her head away from him and made her way to the steps by a force of will. She got out of the water, toweled off as if she didn’t have an audience, and then, she slipped on her robe again and walked down the hall to the sauna room.
She stopped at the water dispenser and drank a few cups before heading into the sauna.
Once she was alone inside, she took off her robe and sat on it, shivering as her body slowly came down from its sensitization. She stretched her body out on the bench and groaned. Styra wanted to punch something.
She had waited years for someone compatible to come along, and now, if she took advantage, she would only have him for a few days! So, was she better off with ignoring the attraction that seemed to be reciprocal, or should she just wrap herself around him and go for it?
She growled and kicked her feet flat against the bench. Yes, it was a tantrum, but she definitely deserved the opportunity to pitch a fit.
She panted and sat back up, draping the robe over her shoulders. She leaned back and let the heat do its job for twenty minutes before she put her arms through the sleeves and headed to the tepid shower.
She scrubbed, exfoliated, and stood under the spray with her hands braced against the wall.
Styra turned to see the captain watching her. The red of his gaze gave her a general idea of where his thoughts had been roaming. She sighed. “That is very creepy.”
He shrugged. “I just left the hot tub and was headed for a shower myself. Are all the facilities here, unisex?”
She nodded. “Yes. They just have a stringent no sex in public policy. They enforce it.”
“So, that is why you are just standing there?” He cocked his head.
Fuck! She headed for the towel rack and wrapped one of the sheets around her. “To be honest, it really hasn’t been an issue before.”
He grinned. “Local men must be idiots.”
“No. They are not compatible.” She clapped her hand over her mouth, turned, and headed for a fresh robe.
She put on the robe and tied the sash a moment before she was certain he was right behind her.
“Compatible?”
“Just something Mr. Blue used to tell me.” She swallowed. “Please, excuse me.” She ducked away from him and headed for the snack area. All of these extra calories burned were making her hungry.
She was the only person in the snack area. She ordered her meal, a few beverages, and then she went to have a seat with the star scape spinning above her. One of the staff members came up to
