he cared enough about her to want her memories of him to be good ones.
    And that was all she could have of him. Memories. Would he remember her a century from now? Two? Several?
    They were strangers. Why did she care?
    Spread your legs.
    As he finger-fucked her with greater urgency, Bree hooked one leg over his lean hip and rode his hand. “Oh God…” She was so close to coming, but she didn’t want to go alone. They were in this together, whatever this was.
    Yes.
    That dark whisper was raspy, and grew even hoarser as she pleasured him ruthlessly, both of her hands pumping his cock in just the way she’d learned earlier.
    “Fuck yeah…” he groaned, stroking her cunt in the same rhythm she used on him. Their hips rocked softly, their bodies straining. She offered him her mouth, desperate for a kiss. Instead he pressed his cheek to hers so that his labored breaths gusted across her ear.
    “I want you,” she gasped, wanting his kiss and his cock and a bed to roll around in. She wanted comfort and an end to this feeling of being rushed. She wanted to silence the driving voice in her mind that said this bliss was only temporary, but it increased in volume, crashing against her in hot waves of need.
    It took her a moment to realize it was Alexei she was hearing.
    From then on soft and sweet wasn’t possible. Their mutual drive to come was raw and hungry, both of them running away into the forgetful arms of climax. But as they reached orgasm together, their bodies shuddering against each other, her cunt drenching his hand, his cock spewing its seed, the tenderness with which they held each other was undeniable.
    It wasn’t making love.
    But it was awfully close.
     
     
     
     
     
     
    Chapter Three
     
    What the fuck just happened?
    Alex ran a hand through his wet hair and felt like he’d just been run over by a transport. He’d really like to sit down for a moment and consider the mess he was in, but the insistent beeping from the comm link wouldn’t allow him to do so.
    Falling wearily into his chair on the bridge, he activated the comm and watched as the President of the Interstellar Security Council came into view.
    “What the hell took you so long, Night?” Derek Atkinson barked. “You were supposed to check in hours ago. Did you make contact with Representative Michaels?”
    “Yeah, she’s on board. We’re on our way.”
    Derek’s steely gaze narrowed. “Your hair is wet.” His lips twisted with wry amusement. “Damn, you move fast. I thought she’d resist you for a day or two at least.”
    Scowling, Alex said, “I took a shower.”
    “Sure. Whatever you say. What you do with Michaels on your own time is your own business. Just don’t let it interfere with the mission.”
    “You’re not worried I’ll lose my edge?” Alex asked with raised brows.
    The president laughed. “You, Night? Hell no. And certainly not with a human.”
    Leaning back in his chair, Alex wished he could say the same with as much conviction. Unfortunately for everyone involved, his objectivity was shot to hell. What was supposed to have been two weeks of pleasure with a woman he admired had turned into something he didn’t quite understand.
    “Besides,” Derek continued. “Intimacy with her will make it more likely she’ll trust you. We need to know what she’s expected to give in return for the safety of her family.”
    Alex’s jaw tensed. He’d been distracted by lust earlier, but Briana’s love for her family had shone through. She was terrified for them. “Are they safe?”
    “To the best of my knowledge, yes. Her father hasn’t been seen at his residence lately, but I’m still not certain if that’s a bad thing or not. He may have just gone away, I’m looking into it. Representative Michaels sent her sister and brother-in-law on a trip. She may have done the same for her father. Apparently she hasn’t disclosed anything to them, so they don’t know they’re in danger. If things heat up though,
