suddenly, the contraction of her inner muscles telling him it
    was genuine, and he knew he’d wear the marks from her nails on his
    shoulders. She cried out and trembled violently. The reaction sparked
    a barbaric reflex in him he didn’t even know existed. Kel surged
    inward, his muscles knotting, and closed his eyes as he stiffened and
    exploded, pouring into her with such force it felt as if he’d stopped
    breathing.
    His immediate thought—when he could think again—was he
    should have taken more care. Shit, he was usually controlled and
    easy, especially with human females. He lifted a hand to smooth back
    her tumbled hair and found it shook. It had been that damn good. “I
    didn’t hurt you?”
    “I have no idea,” she answered with surprising audacity, her eyes
    still closed. Lush lashes rested on her perfect cheekbones. “Am I still
    alive?”
    He chuckled. It didn’t happen often that his mirth was
    spontaneous. His life and occupation didn’t call for a lot of laughter.
    “I take it that is a no, then.”
    Those long lashes lifted and she stared into his eyes. “It wasn’t
    like that before.”

    A curious statement but he’d already learned her past experiences
    hadn’t been very satisfying. “Does that mean an adjustment in your
    assessment of sexual intercourse has occurred?”
    “What do you think, Commander?”
    “I hope so,” he conceded with an inner smile.
    “Hmm.” The murmured sound could mean anything.
    “I’ll be hard again soon.” He had no obligation to warn her, to
    explain anything, but he liked her. She was beautiful, yes, but also
    interesting. How did a female submit and yet not come across as
    submissive? He wasn’t sure, but she’d managed it.
    “So fast?” She looked up at him. “I thought it took a while for
    most males.”
    “We’ve been out for some time.” To prove his point he lifted his
    hips, his still semi-rigid penis, encased in her tight sheath, already
    swelling as if he hadn’t just climaxed. “I could probably go all night.”
    “Is that so?”
    Was she teasing him? It was a startling notion, especially since
    she gazed up at him with a provocative light in her beautiful goldgreen eyes.
    “Lieutenant, can I give you some advice?” He lowered his head
    and nibbled on her lower lip. “Don’t challenge me any more than you
    already have today.”
    “Yes, sir.” Her lashes lowered just a fraction as if she meant it, but
    she ran her fingers down his back, her nails trailing along his skin to
    the curve of his buttocks.
    Kel choked back a laugh. “It might just be me, but your sincerity
    seems suspect.”
    “Your sincerity, on the other hand,”—she wiggled her hips—“is
    unmistakable. Somehow I knew it would be this way.”
    The ingenuous remark took his off-guard. “What does that
    mean?”
    In answer she tugged him down and kissed him.
    Hard. With lips and tongue and persuasive enthusiasm.

    He may not have wanted to punish her for that rogue flight down
    to the surface of Epsilon, but at the moment, his arousal surging
    again, Kel was glad it had all happened. He also had the impression
    that though he might be the commander, he wasn’t the one in control.
    Impossible. He was always the leader, the decision-maker, the
    dominant one.
    She moaned into his mouth. Just a small sound, but it made him
    rigid instantly. He rocked into her willing body, his prick at full
    attention, her small sound of enjoyment penetrating his brain.
    Kel began to move again, thrusting into the wet, welcoming heat
    of her vaginal passage, savoring the breathless sound of her pants as
    she lifted her hips to take what he offered.
    Somehow I knew it would be this way…
    Even as he took her, he registered the sentiment, the analytical
    recognition of her meaning striking deep.
    She’d thought about them like this. Him, inside her.
    The fantasy hadn’t been his alone.
