“You do.” Erasing one more foot between us, I bump her body against the wall. As she scoffs and flattens a hand against my chest. Rather than pushing me away, her hand simply moves with every breath that leaves my lips. We’re left staring at each other and once more, all I can focus on is this one human. My mate.
“Many of them are starting to stare.” Her whisper barely registers. She’s got a point. I can feel many eyes in our direction.
I suppose what I want to do to her shouldn’t be witnessed by others. Even if I want to show them all that Jax is all mine, I’ll respect her wishes for something a little less public.
“We will be very busy from this point forward.” Reaching toward her warm cheeks, I pinch a strand of her red hair. “We should take advantage of what little free time we have left. Many days will be just like this, both of us busy dealing with the need for peace amongst our kind.”
Her brows pinch together and she’s back to frowning. “Today was not enjoyable. I hate to admit it, but this might suck for a while. I suppose I can appreciate your company for one day before we get busy.”
No matter how busy we become, she’ll always be the one I’ll return to. Even if I have a pulsating headache, she’ll be the one to take care of me. Right now, I have a raging issue that needs to be taken care of.
“Runar!” Hissing my name as I scoop her up, I ignore her curses as I carry her away from the front of the ship. She’s always so bashful, hating the way we easily draw attention in ourdirection. Little does she know that this will become nothing but regular behavior for us. Having her against my chest like this feels nothing odd of right.
I never want to let her go.
“Where are you taking me?” Leaning closer to my neck, she breathes in slowly before sighing softly. The way her body instantly relaxes is nothing shy of a compliment.
“Somewhere with less eyes.”
I don’t care that I have to walk to the other end of the ship to reach the living quarters. Her poking and prodding at my chest is distracting me from the distance.
When we reach our destination and a closed door separates us from the rest of the beings on the ship, I can’t even be bothered to carry her to my bed. She’s wiggling around in my grip until I’m carrying her in a more dangerous position. Straddling my front while clinging to my neck, she’s in the perfect position to press up against the door.
Jax may make a show of acting bashful in front of others, but when it’s just us, she melts to my touch. Her body curves against my chest the moment my mouth reaches hers.
We’re both starving for contact. Teeth clashing, my chest rumbles as a growl vibrates through me. There is nothing more rewarding than knowing she missed this as much as I had.
There’s also this sense of relief. This feels like everything is settled in the right place, just as it should be.
As Jax rubs against my body and tries to get a little friction, she groans when I pull the bandage off of her neck.
The mark has healed just as it should. Seeing it fills me with pride and I can’t help myself. Running my tongue along the curves of where my teeth once were, Jax gasps.
Despite having healed over, the mark is as sensitive as it would be if it were fresh. It’ll always remain that way, a personal weakness made only for me.
My cock pulses against my thigh as I lick and taste at her skin. Getting so lost in myself, she’s the one who has to pull me out of my haze to tell me to take her to bed.
I don’t believe I’ve ever moved so fast.
“You always act so strange,” she murmurs as she pulls off her shirt. Her pale skin is flushed, just as it should be. “Like an animal in heat.” Her smile says she’s not upset, but she doesn’t have the slightest clue.
Whenever I’m near her, I struggle to think for myself. Now that I’ve claimed her once, I have a little more control over myself. However, the lust and hunger continue to remain. I’m not sure how long it will take until I can act normal again around her.
At the pinch of my brows, she wraps her arms around my neck and pulls me down for another kiss. This one is slow, lazy, and comforting.
“It’s not a bad thing. Actually, I sort of love it. Don’t let that go to your head though.” Scoffing against my mouth, she sighs as I start plucking at her belt.
“Don’t hold your breath. It will.” Grinning, I manage to separate the leather and unzip her pants. The scent of her arousal makes my nose flare and my head spin.
Just when I think nothing can stop me from ripping her pants off and burying my tongue in her sweet heat, she’s stopping me with her hand.
I’m not prepared for the hesitance in her stare.
“What is it?” Inhaling sharply, I push away the demands to take.
“I just want to make it clear, the sex last night was incredible. Like, really good.” She rolls her eyes when I grin. “Though, I need to make it clear. I’m not just here for the sex. This Rhis thing, I’m going to take it seriously. Thanks to you, I don’t thinkI’m going to be able to be alone again. You set the bar pretty freaking high.”
“I will not leave you, Jax.” Lifting, I take in that hesitance and graze her cheek with my thumb.
