Dravek’s arms tightened around her, his eyes blazing with intensity. “Zora,” he said, his voice low and fervent, “I want youto know that whatever happens in the future, we’re going to face it together. We’re going to win this fight.”

Zora nodded, feeling a surge of confidence. “You’re right. We’ve come too far to fail now. And together...” She smiled up at him, her heart full. “Together, we’re unstoppable.”

Dravek’s answering smile was fierce and proud. “Exactly. Malgor and his forces don’t stand a chance against us.”

Their lips met again, this time in a kiss that was equal parts passion and promise. When they broke apart, Zora could see her own desire reflected in Dravek’s eyes.

“Dravek,” she murmured, her fingers tracing the strong line of his jaw, “I don’t want to be alone tonight. Stay with me?”

His breath caught, and for a moment, Zora worried she’d been too forward. But then Dravek’s hand cupped the back of her neck, drawing her in for another searing kiss.

“There’s nowhere else I’d rather be,” he whispered against her lips.

Hand in hand, they made their way back to the rebel base. The halls were quiet, most of their comrades already asleep. They moved silently, exchanging heated glances and barely suppressed smiles.

When they reached Zora’s quarters, she pulled Dravek inside without hesitation. As soon as the door closed behind them, Dravek gathered her into his arms, kissing her with an intensity that left her breathless.

“Are you sure about this?” he asked, his forehead resting against hers.

Zora’s answer was to reach up and begin unfastening his shirt. “The longer I am with you, the surer I am that we’re right together,” she said, her voice husky with desire.

EIGHTEEN

As she slipped the last button free, Zora slid her hands across Dravek’s hard chest and pushed the fabric off his broad shoulders. He shrugged out of the shirt the rest of the way and tossed it carelessly to the floor.

Emboldened by her desire, Zora unfastened his belt and dropped to her knees before him, dragging his pants downward with her.

Dravek reached out to caress her cheek. “Zora, you don’t have to do this.”

She looked up at him through her lashes. “I want to, Dravek. I need to show you how much I want you.”

Zora took him into her mouth, relishing the taste and feel of him on her tongue. She loved pleasuring him this way, savoring every moan and gasp she drew from his lips. His fingers threaded through her hair as she worked him deeper. The intimacy and raw sensuality of the act made desire pool hot and heavy in her core.

Just as she sensed Dravek nearing his peak, he gently tugged her back. “Zora, wait...” His voice was rough with need. Strong hands urged her to stand.

Once on her feet, Zora swiftly shed her own clothing, letting it fall onto the floor. Taking Dravek’s hand, she led him to the bed and gently pushed him down onto the mattress. Crawling over him, she straddled his hips, the slick heat of her arousal pressing against his hard length.

“I want you, Dravek,” she breathed, “I need to feel you inside me.”

“Not yet,” he said.

Dravek gripped Zora’s hips, slowly dragging her up his body. A shiver raced through her as she realized his wicked intent. He positioned her thighs on either side of his head, her glistening sex mere inches from his lips.

“Dravek...” She gasped his name, need and nervousness warring inside her. Being splayed before him so intimately, so vulnerably, set her heart pounding.

“Shh, let me pleasure you.” His heated gaze seared into hers. “I want to taste your desire.”

With aching slowness, he brought his mouth to her slick folds. The first stroke of his tongue against her sensitive flesh sent lightning bolts of rapture speeding through her veins. Zora cried out.

He explored her with long, slow licks, savoring her essence. Each sweep of his tongue stoked the flames burning under her skin. Dravek feasted on her like a man starved, devouring her with a sensual hunger that left her writhing.

Pleasure built inside Zora as Dravek worshipped her with his clever mouth. He drew her most sensitive bud between his lips, suckling firmly, and she saw stars. Her thighs trembled, core clenching as ecstasy neared its breaking point.

“Dravek, yes! Don’t stop!” She was so close, teetering on the knife’s edge of release.

His grip on her hips tightened, holding her in place as his tongue delved deeper, thrusting into her channel. The addedstimulation proved too much. With a keening moan, Zora shattered, waves of blinding bliss crashing over her.

As she slowly drifted down from the heights of her climax, Zora felt Dravek pressing tender kisses to her inner thighs, her abdomen, the valley between her breasts. He made his way up her body until they were face to face, his weight solid and warm atop her.
