I can enjoy simply being wonderstruck by that.

We wait our turn to see Lokyer, and when we finally get in to stand by his bunk, the nav officer seems in good spirits. There’s still a tube feeding nutrients into his arm—the damned Project Blue Dawn miscreants starved him almost to death—but he seems much stronger than he was back in his cell on the Mephisto.

His face lights up when he sees me.

“There she is. My savior.” He turns to Zander. “And my other savior. I don’t think I can thank you enough for rescuing me. There were times I was ready to give up hope… but I never did. I knew you guys would move the stars themselves if that’s what it took.”

Zander takes his un-tubed hand and grips it tightly.

“You are the real hero, here, Lokyer. Not just for your sacrifice that saved Swipt, Ilya, and the others, but for never breaking and giving the enemy one iota of information.”

“Yeah, well… truth to tell, I was pretty close to telling them anything they wanted to know just to get some food.”

Lokyer glances over at Dr. Nicari.

“Speaking of which… Doc, can I go off this liquid diet yet?’

“Not yet. Your stomach has shrunk, and we need to gently stretch it back out, as slowly as possible. But… perhaps I can see if Jax or Marion can get you a nice pudding?”

“Pudding?” Lokyer laughs, which seems to cause him a bit of pain. “Yeah, pudding would be great.”

Dr. Nicari ushers us out the door.

“I’m sorry, but my patient does need rest.”

Zander turns to me as we exit the med bay.

“What would you like to do now?”

In response I kiss him deeply on the mouth, and then pull away just enough to whisper in his ear.

“Take me to your quarters, you dolt.”

Chapter Twenty-Seven

Zander

“I can’t believe we’ve made it through all that.” Sitting on my bed, her feet dangling, Thrase looks up at me and smiles. “There were times when I really thought we wouldn’t make it.”

“But we did,” I say. “And now we’re here. We’re alive, and we’re—”

“Together.”

“Yes, together.”

Jumping up from the bed, she makes her way toward me, a teasing smile on her lips. She lays one hand on my chest, her smile widening, and I feel my eyes being drawn to her lips.

“I think that deserves a celebration. Don’t you?” she asks me, a glint in her eyes. Her words are enough for my body to feel alive, all the tension and pressure from the previous days melting away from me. Right now, Thrase is the only thing that matters in the entire galaxy.

“Couldn’t agree more,” I reply and then lean in to kiss her.

Gently, I pull her against me and wrap my arms around her torso, pulling her into my embrace. She comes willingly, her body melting against mine, and our kiss goes from a gentle dance into an ardent fight, our tongues spearing at each other. Lust lights a fire under us, madness overtaking our minds, but none of us seem to mind.

I know I don’t.

Allowing my hands to go down the side of her body, I find the hemline of her shirt and then pull it over her head. I pull back from her, just so I can take in the sight of her half-naked body, and my breath catches in my throat as I see the rising curve of her breasts. They’re so perfect it almost hurts to look at them.

My two cocks respond to that sight by hardening even more and, for a moment, I think they’re going to rip their way out of my pants. Before that happens, though, my instincts urge me to put more of her on display, and I don’t have the strength to resist that command. Closing the distance between us once more, I take one hand to her back and open her bra, ripping it off of her body with one quick movement.

Not enough, my inner voice says, and both my hands shoot down to her hips. I pull out the single button on her pants’ waistband and then hold my breath as she starts swaying her hips as the fabric slides down her legs. She kicks her boots and pants to the side, and then only her thong remains as the last frontier.

“How can you be this beautiful?” I say, looking straight into her eyes. “You’re perfect.”

“And I’m right here,” she whispers, almost as if issuing me a secret challenge, “in front of you.”

“Yes, you are.” Laying my
