“Blew up the hangar?” I mumbled incoherently.
“Blew up the mountain,” Heath replied.
I wanted to be all badass and say something killer, as well as mention that my theme music which we discussed earlier should be playing on loud at this point. But I was too wasted to do more than lift an eyelid.
“Cool,” I muttered, and then I was out.
I FELT SOFT LIPS ONmy forehead and I turned toward them.
“You are certain she is going to be alright?” I head Axel ask someone.
“Your mate will be fine. She has responded well to all of the tests and just needed to replenish her energy. She nearly blasted it all out.”
That was Von’s voice. But how could that be? I was in Seron, not Zeron.
“It’s been almost four days,” Axel’s voice sounded tortured.
I fought to open my eyes just to show him that I was fine. Sure, I felt like a truck had mowed me down, but that was normal after destroying a city with your mind—wasn’t it?
“Did you see that? Her eyelids flickered, and she has turned toward your voice several times in the past two days. She is in there; when her body is ready, she will come back to you.”
Von’s voice trailed off as I allowed the comfort of darkness to take me away once again.
The next time I awakened I was able to open my eyes. Axel was in the chair next to me, his head in his hands.
I loved this man so much. His kickass no-nonsense, the playful naughty giant act, and the way he made me feel like I was his reason for living. Axel was every bit my lover, my equal, my matched pair, and my mate.
“Did you fall asleep on me?” My voice was husky from not being used.
He raised his head; his eyes were red rimmed and dark circles rested beneath them.
“Sarah,” the way he said my name, I wished that I could record it. The emotion and love behind that one word had me choking up.
In an instant he was beside me, his massive arms pulling me against him and I melted into him.
“Take me to our room,” I asked.
He pulled back a little. “I think you are supposed to stay in the sickbay.”
I shook my head, “I will heal much faster if I am next to you.”
His eyes took a determined glint and then he swooped me up in his arms. For the next forty-eight hours we both slept wrapped in each other's arms. When I awakened again I felt much like my old self, only stinky as hell.
I extracted myself from Axel’s arms, thankful that we were back in our sleeping chambers with our bathing unit. I stepped into that magical shower and let the spray wash away the grime from my recovering and the fight. I washed everything and was in the process of doing my hair when the door opened, and a very worried Axel stepped into the room.
With a saucy wink, I cupped my breasts and pinched the nipples.
Axel’s nostrils flared as his eyes darkened.
He was naked and in the shower with me in less than two minutes. His mouth crashed into mine and he kissed me so hard and deep that I had no illusions as to how the man felt about me. This was love, not the butterflies and rainbows type of love no, this was the gut-wrenching, bloody, life and death kind of love that only comes along once in a lifetime and somehow, we ended up finding it.
His fingers slipped between my legs and I groaned when he pushed them inside of me. I could feel his cock against my slick skin and wrapped my hand around it, jerking him a few times until he lost control.
Picking me up, Axel pushed my back against the wall and my legs wrapped around his waist and then he was inside of me. His massive length was stretching me wide and filling me just how I needed. My cries must have been heard halfway around the galaxy because I couldn’t stop crying out. It felt so fucking incredible.
His length plowed into me again and again while his mouth took one of my breasts and sucked hard enough for me to feel it all the way in my pussy. Then he captured my mouth again and I was near to losing it.
Axel adjusted his thrust so that his pelvis put pressure on my clit and I was done for. My body tightened around him and my legs shook as my climax grew to epic proportions before shattering and causing my world to explode.
His grunt indicated that Axel had followed right behind me.
