across her flesh, rubbing and stroking until she was mad with need.
    When she was sure she couldn't take any more, he suddenly shifted. His hips pressed even harder, and his upper body came over her completely. He caught her hands with his and pinned them to the ground on either side of her head. She tried to look into his face, but she was too short, and they were too close. Only the underside of his jaw was visible.
    There was an intensity to his actions that was new, and he began thrusting with fierce slams of his body. The motion ground his pelvis into hers and jabbed the thick head of his cock over and over into the deepest part of her body.
    The new rhythm was exactly what her body wanted, and it only took a few moments for Mieli to come, her flesh clamping down and squeezing futilely on his shaft. In the midst of her orgasm she felt his body tense, and the rigid fullness inside her began to pulse. She could actually feel the hot gush of his seed against her inner walls, so great was the pressure. It made her body clench in aftershocks until the hot, wet cream began to seep out around his still-buried shaft.

    Chapter Seven
    The fire was out, and Jai felt a cool breeze drift across his bare back. Without the meager glow, the features of the woman beneath him were lit only by the moon. Her eyes were closed, and the lashes cast deep shadows across her cheeks. He'd never seen anyone so beautiful in his entire life.
    In a warrior's career, there was only the battle and whatever it took to win it. Impossible dreams had no place in that world, and even if they did, he was certain he would have lacked the imagination to envision this. Around his cock he could feel the clinging walls of her sex, so tight and wet he couldn't bring himself to withdraw. Her body was laid out under him in a carnal display that surpassed the most lurid smut he'd ever seen.
    For the first time, he'd felt what sex could be. More than just something to satisfy lust and aggression, it could fulfill desires he had never acknowledged before. The distraction of coupling now past, his thoughts came back in a rush.
    Jai knew now he'd been a fool to try his hand at politics. His nearly successful murder was proof that he'd made enemies. Powerful enemies if they could make his commander look the other way. Jai was a deadly man but not a well-connected one.
    His life had changed forever when he crashed into this forest. Now he had to get back to Raston, the planet where he kept his private ship, and find out who wanted him dead before they could try their hand at it again. But first there was the healer to deal with. She was enticing, but a liability that could see him killed.
    They were still connected, his satisfied flesh firm enough to penetrate her core. He pulled away slowly, savoring the involuntary clenching of her inner walls, and came to rest beside her. She was quiet, her eyes closed as if asleep, but he knew she was awake.
    "Woman.” Jai saw how badly his speech in her language startled her. Those luminous, dark eyes flew open, and she turned her head to look at him where he was, propped up and watching her. “You name?"
    Her lips trembled, but she didn't speak. Jai pointed to his own chest. “Jai. Name is Jai.” He turned his finger back to her. “You name?"
    This time her lips parted, and she spoke barely above a whisper, “Mieli.” Her hand rose and touched her collarbone. “Mieli."
    "Mieli.” Her name on his lips felt good. “Mieli."
    "Yes.” The hand at her throat came forward and tentatively touched his chest. “Jai."
    Before she could pull back, Jai captured her fingers and held them to his heart. He could feel a small tremble, but he couldn't tell if she was cold or nervous. Either way, he was satisfied for now. He used his hold on her to bring her with him as he lay back on the pallet and closed his eyes to sleep.
    MIELI WAS MORE than a little confused. The man, Jai, seemed to be asleep, but she
