Maybe too much wasn’t good either. “Kahn, I don’t even know if Ilikeyou or not. I’m certainly not in love with you. I know that’s what you’re getting at. I can feel it now.”

“But you want me. I feel that in you.”

Much as she wanted to deny it, she couldn’t. She couldn’t be around him without wanting to feel his body against hers again. As his hungry gaze raked her naked form beneath the water, a fresh rush of heat exploded through her body. She didn’t need to be able to hear his thoughts to know what was on his mind.

She was supposed to be mad at him, but she was finding it difficult to concentrate when he stalked her in all his naked glory, his cock jutting out proudly from the dark curls between his legs.

“I need you. I’ve never needed a woman more.”

Anna desperately wanted nothing more than to welcome him into her arms, her body, but she couldn’t. Not now. Not until she knew for sure he was the man she hoped he was.

“Kahn, you’ve got to give me some space. I can’t do this until I know for sure I can live with the consequences.”

He paused as he slid into the water behind her. “All right,tarae. We’ll take it slow.” He kneaded her shoulders, lessening the tension she hadn’t realized was there. She sighed at the exquisite pleasure.

“Tell me something. What does that name mean you keep calling me?”

“Well.” Kahn took a deep breath. “Taraeare domesticated pets, but still one of the most vicious creatures on Gothe’mar.” Kahn moved closer, his breath tickling the back of her neck. “But the thing abouttaraeis, they breed so fast, if they didn’t have a natural enemy they would probably take over the planet.”

“Uh huh.” Anna got a funny feeling in the pit of her stomach. “The point?”

“The predator that hunts thetaraeis a very large, winged creature like a falcon or hawk on Earth but much, much bigger. He must hunt, andeat, manytaraea day if he is to survive.”

“Uh huh.” She was repeating herself, but when his mouth slid over her neck, when she could feel his immense need of her, her vocabulary dried up and her IQ dropped fifty points. “Does this bird have a name?” she asked, looking back at him.

His grin became positively wicked. “They are called akahn.”

Heat suffused her body at the implication. He would have her. It was inevitable, and she knew it with every fiber of her being. Her only dilemma was trust. She couldn’t take the chance now. If he was right and she was about to have her son back, she couldn’t be with a man she didn’t trust.

But her body had other plans. He resumed his gentle massage and his hands on her bare shoulders and back sent tingling shivers straight to her pussy. She groaned and leaned into him. His lips were back at her neck and jaw as he kissed a path from ear to collarbone. If he didn’t stop, she’d throw herself at him again. She had to stop this somehow before she did something she’d regret.

Pushing away from him, she slid beneath the water’s surface. Eyes closed, face upturned, she came out of the water, smoothing her hair back from her head. She turned away from him, moving to the other side of the small pool before turning around. When she did, she couldn’t miss the ravenous look in his eyes.

They sat there in the water staring at each other a long moment before Kahn finally broke the silence. “You make going slowly difficult.”

His sultry voice made her wish things were different. She wanted simply to go to him, fuck him senseless, until neither of them could move. Her breasts felt heavy and full. She knew without looking that her nipples were hard. All she had to do was brush her fingers against them, squeeze them, and she’d be so hot for him, she might be able to forget why she shouldn’t fuck him.

“Touch yourself,tarae,” Kahn whispered. “If you won’t let me give you pleasure, please yourself. Let me watch.”

Anna was helpless to do anything but what he asked. She desperately needed release. Her own need was bad enough, but she could feel what he wanted from her as well, and it was driving her mad with unfulfilled desire. It was like her dreams all over again.

Her hands found her breasts and she massaged the full globes. Filling her hands, she pushed her breasts together and licked each tip impulsively. She shuddered at the sensation her own tongue created. Taking one peak into her mouth, she sucked and nipped gently, sending a flood of warmth straight to her cunt.

She didn’t know if the moan was hers or Kahn’s, but the sound was definitely encouraging. Sliding one hand to her pussy, she ran a finger along her folds until she reached the small opening and dipped the finger inside. Savoring the sensations, she then circled her clit several times until her hips rocked in time with the movement of her fingers.

Making eye contact with Kahn was not the smartest thing she’d ever done, but once she did, she couldn’t look away. Nor could she simply sit there with him so close and not want him to touch her. She needed to come and she didn’t think she’d be satisfied with anything less than his cock pounding deep inside her.

He rose and moved toward her slowly. When he reached her, his hand shot out to her hair and he pulled her head back roughly so that she looked up at him. The fear that coursed through her at his forceful gesture, and the evidence of his straining control blazing in his eyes, made her even more aroused.

Not bothering to ask permission, he grabbed her by the waist and lifted her to sit on the edge, spreading her legs and diving between them with his face. Anna thought she’d die, the waves of pleasure were so intense. Her clit burned where his tongue touched it, and her breasts tingled with each touch of her fingers and mouth. Kahn’s heady growls were a powerful aphrodisiac and she almost came.

Almost.

Before she could stop it, a vision of her son’s bloodied body filled her mind and all thoughts of sexual release vanished, leaving her empty and a little ashamed.

Raising his head, Kahn sighed. He kissed her belly and hugged her middle a moment while he got his breathing under control again. He had pushed her too hard. Once again, he’d let her down. When would he ever stop making mistakes with the only woman in the entire universe that mattered to him?
