was in real rough shape, but she would fight like a fucking banshee if she had to. She hadn’t made it this far to be taken out by a bright-pink walking grub worm. “Why’d you drag me in here?”
“Psst.” Click. Click. “Psst.”
He waddled over to the shelf and picked up something that looked like a waffle maker without a cord.
“What the hell’s that?” she asked, knowing full well the creature most likely didn’t understand her and therefore wouldn’t know what she was saying.
Holding it up, he shook it in her direction and clicked again.
“Listen, dude.” Nova paused as a wave of dizziness hit her hard. She stumbled to her knees, barely managing not to completely keel over. “Oh fuck,” she moaned as the realization came over her that she was about to pass out. No matter how hard she tried to pull herself back from the edge, it was useless.
Hisses and clicks filled the air, but the noises sounded as if they were coming from far away instead of the little guy in front of her. Nova squinted up at him, wondering how he was able to do that trick with his voice, when her vision became spotty.
Oh yeah, she was totally passing out.
“Fuck.”

“I’ve missed you,” her Phaeton whispered against her lips.
“I’ve missed you too,” Nova hissed, stroking the naked back she was clutching as he thrust against her body. Her dream warrior felt more than real under her hands, regardless of the awareness she had that this was simply her imagination giving her a window of reprieve from what was really happening. “I’ve missed this. Don’t stop.”
“I won’t,” he promised, hunching his back under her hands as he worked his hips against hers. Each push and pull teased her pussy without penetrating, grinding perfectly against where she so desperately needed him.
“Enough.” She pushed her hands against her lover’s shoulders until he rolled over onto his back. With a wicked smile, Nova tossed a leg over his hips and settled herself against the rock-hard erection pointing up towards his belly button. Slipping it between the slick, puffy lips between her legs, she rocked back and forth. The sight was wickedly delicious as she slicked his length with her wetness until everything but the plump tip was shiny.
“Perfect,” he whispered, looking between them at the mess she’d created. “Put me inside. Now.”
Heat filled her belly at the gruff order coming from her big warrior. Despite the harshness of his tone, Nova knew he’d never hurt her. With one hand, she reached down to hold him steady while lifting her hips. The fat head of his erection nestled into the slit of her pussy but didn’t go far—only an inch before she stopped her descent.
“More,” he growled as she hovered on the tip, her thighs locked in place.
“Not yet.” Nova’s curls fluttered around her shoulders as she bobbed up and down on the end of his dick. The sucking noise coming from their slight connection was dirty as fuck as she tortured them both with the prolonged entry.
“Now.” With a heaving grunt, her lover pulled her hips down hard until she was completely impaled on the big rod inside of her. Once she was stuffed to the brim, he rocked her in his lap.
“Yassss,” she hissed against his neck. “Fuck me. Please, fuck me.”
“No.” Letting go of her hips, her hubby dropped back on his elbows.
Nova blinked at the answer that popped out from between his beautiful lips. If this was a dream, wasn’t he supposed to be doing whatever she wanted?
“No?”
In a move that prompted her to grind her hips in a little o, her beautiful man stretched to put his hands behind his head. The position gave her full reign for the ride ahead.
“You fuck me,” he answered with a wicked grin.
“Giddyup,” she breathed, knowing she’d be revisiting this particular dream again and again.
Best. Dream. Ever.
Chapter Twelve
They’d checked the brothel district, the landing fields, and even some of the abandoned settlements between the two without any success, but he wasn’t ready to give up.
“We have no idea where to go from here,” Paine said, his voice devoid of the usual humor it carried. “Every house has been swept, and none of them showed signs they were hiding a human. Fuck, we couldn’t even find a spec of proof that they’d been here in the first place. We have nothing, Axis, and although I know it’s not what you want to hear—”
“It’s time for us to report back to Kaine,” Rowe
