off-planet.”
    “ Which might explain your particular
talents.” He shifted slightly toward her. “I’ve never met another
telepath who can manipulate the information stream like you can.
Captain Jong said that you only had the basic skills necessary to
communicate.”
    “ I have good shields. Sometimes our
government sets traps using other telepaths. I always had to be
careful.”
    He sighed. “And now, after all your caution,
you’re stuck with me in a cave on the side of a mountain with a
fifty-fifty chance that I’ll get you killed.”
    “ Fifty percent is better than it was
before you arrived. Wassain left me for dead.”
    “ Me too.” His soft laugh brushed over
her skin like the finest silk. “Your optimism amazes me. I’m
sitting here full of regrets for all the stupid shit I haven’t
accomplished in my life.”
    “ You don’t think we’re going to
survive?” She twisted around to stare into his eyes. “Now you’ve
got me thinking of all the things I regret, too.”
    “ Sorry, Lang.”
    She kept staring at him as the truth of his
words sunk in. What would she regret? She’d had to live so
cautiously and so carefully just to stay alive, and it had brought
her here anyway and risked another man’s life. She let out a long
shuddering breath. “There is something I’d regret.”
    “ What’s that?”
    “ Not kissing you again.”
    He went still. “Lang, if I kiss you, I’m not
going to want to stop there.”
    Heat coalesced low in her belly. “Do you
think I’d want you to stop?”
    With a strangled sound, he picked her up and
sat her on his lap so that she straddled him. His mouth descended
and then there was nothing in her world except him—his taste, his
tongue, and the thump of his heart and harried breathing. She
shoved one hand in his hair and held on, her body moving against
the hard swell of his cock and his broad muscled chest.
    “ Oh Gods,” she moaned as she started to
come just from the friction and the overpowering need of his desire
flooding through all her senses. He pressed his hand against her
ass pushing her into the roll of his hips and the rod of his
cock.
    “ I want
you .”
    “ Yes,” he groaned against her lips.
“Please.”
    She attacked the waistband of his pants,
ignoring his sudden intake of breath as she unzipped him and stared
at his standard issue black underwear. He was so aroused his cock
was already pushing out of the top of his boxers. She bent her head
and licked the exposed part, sucking it and the soaked fabric into
her mouth. He tasted as raw and desperate as she felt.
    His hand fisted in her hair. “I’ll come if
you keep doing that, and I want inside you.”
    She sat back and he helped her pull down her
pants and underwear, shoving them off one leg to expose the
important parts. While she struggled to push all the unnecessary
fabric out of the way, he lifted his hips and pulled down his
boxers to reveal the thick column of his cock.
    “ Oh,” Soreya breathed. “I
wish…”
    He lifted her again. “Next time. Just—”
    She took him in, took more and more until she
was full and aching and rocking blindly against him as he continued
to push upward. His fingers grazed her clit and she took even more,
drowning in the sensations, in the rightness of having his body and
his mind enmeshed with hers.
    “ Lang…”
    She rose up and then pressed down again and
he followed her rhythm, his mind as hot and needy as his cock, his
thoughts so consumed with his delight in her that she felt like a
goddess. She moved faster and his hands came to her hips to help.
His mouth fused with hers as did his mind, and she was lost in him,
in them, in whatever they were creating together.
    Faster now, his thrusts joining her downward
plunges, keeping her filled and sending her to a dark, hot place
where nothing existed but their need for each other. She climaxed
and he kept pumping into her, sending her even higher. Her nails
dug into his shoulders and she
