Lifting Katya in his arms, he walked backwards to the divan.

A neural command set it into movement, unfurling to reveal a king-size bed.

With a swift and fluid motion, Xion laid Katya down on the plush bedding, his eyes never leaving hers.

The air crackled between them, thick with unspoken words and suppressed desires. He hovered over her, his body a mere breath away, their gazes locked in an intense struggle of wills.

In that charged moment, time stood still.

Every heartbeat echoed in the silence of the Tachy; each inhale they took, a sigh that reached beyond its walls into the vast ionised and highly charged atmosphere around them.

Without breaking eye contact, Xion spoke in a voice husky with longing and restraint, ‘You have no idea what you do to me, woman.’

She gazed back at him, her halo gems pulsing as she replied, ‘I think I do.’

Her fingers trailed along his jawline, sending shivers down his spine. The electric sensation ignited a fire within him that threatened to consume all reason.

With a primal growl, Xion captured her lips in a searing kiss, his hands roaming all over her with a hunger that matched the blazing intensity of their union.

Katya responded, arching towards his touch, every nerve ending coming alive under his caress.

In a frenzied dance of need, lips melded, moving, licking, devouring one another, Xion shed his clothes, then hers.

‘Fokk, I crave you so bad,’ he growled, palming his cock.

She took over, stroking his length, and he hissed, throwing his head back at the pleasure.

He returned the favour moments later, lifting one thigh over his while they stood by the divan.

He dropped a quick kiss on her inner thigh, then slid a hand down her dampness, gathering her juices and bringing them to his mouth.

Her breath hitched, and she whimpered.

He took a moment to savour before he locked up at eyes with her own, which were dark and hungry, mirroring his wild desire.

Without breaking her gaze, he sank his fingers inside her, curling them to find that sweet spot within her as she bucked her hips into his heated touch.

His thumb found her clit, and he rubbed it in circles, making her writhe beneath his stroke.

Her pelvis surged into his hand, and she cried out his name.

He smiled wickedly, using his other hand to stroke himself as he continued to pleasure her with his digits and mouth.

She climaxed hard, her body shuddering against him.

He smirked, then stood up, his cock seeping and throbbing with need.

He bent over and positioned his member at her entrance, his eyes never leaving hers.

Katya’s eyes widened as the tip of his erection pressed into her wet, flowing juncture.

Xion paused, his breath coming in ragged gasps, fighting to be gentle despite his longing to take her in one deep lunge.

Her pulse raced, her heart pounding, the sounds of their lovemaking echoing in the silence of the bridge.

Rubbing the head of his cock around her clit in maddening, heated circles, he raised a brow as his eyes searched her own, reading the raw emotions that flickered across her face.

He wanted to make sure she was okay, and this was what she craved.
