This made my spine stiffen. Ariana didn’t want to request the team that had been prepped for the mission. She wanted to request anyone.

It had been a risk to launch the mission with a skeleton crew, but it had been a risk we’d all been willing to take given the information we’d had. But now that we were closing in on the spot where Ariana’s sister and my brother were most likely being held, the parameters had changed. The Kronock defenses were greater than we’d anticipated, and Ariana did not believe it was possible to pull off the mission solo.

My gut tightened but I drew in a long breath and released it, letting the simple movement calm me. I had not volunteered for the mission on a whim. I’d known the risks. I’d accepted them.

That didn’t mean I was eager to be part of a suicide mission. Not when I could do something about it.

I unhooked my safety straps and stood. Glancing at Morgan and giving her a small smile, I made my way to the back of the ship, hoping she would assume I was going to the head or taking a rest. I would be doing neither.

I touched the device I’d secreted in the pocket of my vest. It was time for me to send a transmission.

We’d barely made it out of the dining hall and down the sweeping stairs when I stopped to pull her to me and kiss her again.

“Everyone will see,” she said, when I pulled away.

“Good. I have no intention of hiding you or us.” Instead of leading her to the tower that housed the staff quarters, I pulled her down the corridor leading to the School of Battle.

“Where are we going?”

“You have never seen my office, have you?” The small room was closer than my quarters.

She shook her head as we hurried down the corridor. “I honestly didn’t know Battle instructors had offices.”

“I rarely use mine,” I admitted, as we reached the door, and I pressed my hand to the panel by the side.

“Then why—?” she started to ask before I stopped her words by pulling her inside the room and into me, pressing my lips to hers.

Sensations ricocheted through my body as I parted Britta’s lips with a dominant sweep of my tongue. I was surprised by how easily she yielded to me, her tongue tangling eagerly with mine and her moans breathy in my mouth. Her hesitation about me seemed to have vanished as she sank into me.

Her hands moved from the front of my shirt to my shoulders, as she fisted the fabric of my uniform. Sliding my own hands down to cup her ass from behind, I jerked her so that her body was flush to me.

Britta let out a small, startled sound, pulling her mouth from mine for a beat. She glanced around the small space that consisted of a desk, a pair of chairs, and a selection of blasters and blades strapped to the wall. “Why are we here?”

“No one ever looks for me here,” I told her.

She laughed at this. “Since I had no clue it existed, I’m sure they don’t.”

I ran a hand through her hair, needing to taste more of her, feel more of her. Tipping her head up, I found her mouth again, kissing her softly this time and letting myself savor her sweetness. Her hands tugging at my shirt sent heat arrowing through me, and made my cock ache for release. I fumbled with the buttons of her shirt and quickly undid them, yanking it off her shoulders and running my fingers down the satiny fabric of her bra.

Breaking the kiss long enough to take a quick breath, I gazed down at the pale pink fabric covering her breasts. Even through the fabric, I could see the outline of her hard nipples, and I roughly tugged the material aside, so I could capture one with my mouth.

Britta arched her back, lifting her breast so I could take more in my mouth. I greedily took it, sucking the bumpy flesh and swirling my tongue over the hard points. Cupping a breast in each hand, I shifted my attention from one nipple to the other, licking and sucking as she wiggled out of her shirt and unclasped the bra behind her back.

After she’d removed both, I stood back and took in the sight of her breasts quivering as she drew in uneven breaths.

Her eyes slid to the door. “Should we go back to your quarters before we—“

“No one will look for us here.” I growled, as I led her to my desk. “And I cannot wait another moment to take you.”

She inhaled quickly, her pupils dark and molten. Even though I had already spread her legs and swallowed her screams of pleasure, she seemed almost shy as she stood before me. I bent down, kissing my way down her bare chest as I undid her pants and slid them down her legs. She willingly stepped out of each leg and then kicked off her boots. When she stood in nothing but a pair of pink panties, my mouth went dry.

I quickly hoisted her onto my desk and spread her legs, biting back a moan. “Open your legs wider for me.”
