His brows pinched together.
“Because of what I did with Zev in the stairwell.” More signs flew from his fingers. Too many and too fast. Her gentle giant had a lot to say. If only she could understand him. . .
“Slow down, Reece.” She leaned forward, dipping her forehead against his. “I’m missing what you’re saying. And I want to understand every word, no matter how long it takes.”
He pointed to her now.
“My turn to talk. Are you sure? It’s not like there’s anything exciting down here.”
His finger brushed her lips, drawing out her smile.
“Well, I put provisions away, searched through maybe ten percent of what’s in the storage room, cataloged it all on a blank notebook I found. Archaic, using paper and pen instead of a datapad, but it works. But this isn’t what you want to hear, is it?”
He motioned for her to continue. She couldn’t get that stairwell and Reece’s expression out of her mind.
“I don’t want to hurt you, Reece. You’re too important to me. I don’t know what got into me with Zev.” She lifted her eyes. He wasn’t smiling, but he wasn’t scowling either. “And Ivan,” she added, knowing it might be too much for Reece to handle. She wasn’t sure she understood it herself, but telling him eased the pressure in her chest.
Maybe that’s what had been weighing on her mind. All the feelings she had for Ivan and the fact that she hadn’t told Reece. It felt as if she’d betrayed him. Technically, Reece had no say in who she got involved with. But shecaredabout Reece. And this attraction to both Zev and Ivan. . . Had this been Baccula, she’d be forced to have several husbands. Shehadbeen forced. On Veenith, there were no rules about who she could and couldn’t have.
Reece continued signing, mostly about Ivan this time. She’d learned the signs for I, J, and Z that Reece used to reference each of the men. Each time he signed Ivan’s name, Reece practically growled. Suddenly, Reece rose and made the sign forshoweragain. He looked mad, agitated.
“Will you return when you’re done showering?” she asked, nervous and hopeful he’d nod yes.
He didn’t answer, but he kissed her forehead. Maybe he needed time to think or cool down. How was she going to manage this relationship with him when she had an interest in Zev and Ivan too?
Reece shut the light and closed the door behind him. Melina laid back down and waited for him to return.

Melina wokewith her legs spread wide and a mouth on her clit, applying the most delicious pressure. She’d fallen asleep waiting for Reece, but he hadn’t forgotten about her. Not in the least. The way he swirled his tongue around her clit had her fisting the bedding to keep from screaming and waking the entire bunker.
She sank her hands into his thick hair as he flattened his tongue and moved lower. His tongue slid up and down her folds, drinking her juices that seemed to flow so freely for him. A finger entered her as he returned to her clit, sucking on it, pulling and driving her wild. She moaned, probably too loud. A second finger pushed into her, thrusting in and out, but it wasn’t enough. She needed more.
“Fuck me already,” she begged, pulling on his hair, coaxing him to up her body and claim her.
Slowly he moved up her torso, pausing long enough to suck on a taut nipple while he continued sliding his fingers through her folds. Electricity shot through her down to her toes. She was on edge and needed to come. He moved higher, his cock finally pressing against her entrance as he took her mouth, fucking her with his tongue, hard and wild like she wanted him to do with his cock.
She lifted her hips, meeting his cock, trying to get him to move, to fuck her and give her the release she needed. Her hands moved over his back to a scar. Then another. And another. He hadn’t had his shirt off that first time they’d made love, only she had. They had more in common than she realized.
“Do you want me to suck you first?” she asked, letting her hand glide over his naked hip. She liked that he was naked against her. Feeling him skin to skin like this felt intimate and so damn right.
She waited for him to tap once for yes, but he didn’t tap. No, then.
His mouth captured hers again as he slid his cock through her folds. She was ready to explode but needed him inside her. She reached down, took his cock, and lined it up with her entrance.
“Please fuck me. I’ll do anything you want. Just make me come.”
“Are you sure you want me, Melina?” Jayce asked.
She wanted to scream, but her voice froze. Her entire body froze.
Jayce jumped off of the bed and threw the lights on. “Breathe, Melina.”
She couldn’t breathe. Her lungs fought for air, but nothing would enter.
Jayce pulled her off the bed and held her as he rubbed her back. “You’re okay. Just breathe. Focus.”
Air rushed in with a vengeance and her voice burst out in a scream as the tears rolled down her face. He covered her mouth with his hand. “You’ll wake the others. If Crusher kills me, Ivan will kill him. Let’s keep this civil.”
