“But you barely know me.”
“No matter. My body knows you. My dynos knows you.”
“You have orders.” Her tone sharpened slightly, and a bitter trace entered her scent. Fear. Doubt. Possibly betrayal.
I rubbed my face gently against her hair. It was even softer than I imagined, wisps flowing against my skin like downy feathers and sweet blossoms. “I would defy orders for you. Even if it meant termination.”
:Acknowledged,:Snyder’s voice echoed in my skull with a sharp, sarcastic bite.:Beware you don’t end up contained in a cell like the BGR++ while another candidate takes your place.:
I had no response.
No, that wasn’t true. I did. Now. Though I didn’t dare send it to the grid.Go fuck yourself.

HOLLY
“Call Me Maybe”played on a loop in my head.
Crazy. That I could feel so much for someone I’d only just met, especially an overwhelming sense of pure lust. I barely knew anything about him. But it took all my self-control to keep from wrapping my arms around him and pressing my body tightly to his.
Everything inside me insisted I needed him. Now. Connection. Warmth. Touch. Safety.
Unless he couldn’t break Snyder’s hold on him.
Rekt carried one of my mrions. Hopefully it was snooping around inside him, trying to help us find a way to escape. But there was something else I could do to test his trustworthiness. If I dared.
If you share fluids with him, you will begin the bonding through combined nucleic acid structure.
I wasn’t ready to risk full on sex—especially with Snyder hanging on our every word—but I might be able to pull off a kiss without taking things too far on camera. That would share fluids, right?
I pulled back slightly, and Rekt immediately lifted his head, focused on me. His inky eyes glistened in the darkness beneath the tree. Black diamond starbursts flared in the centers. His nose was broader than mine but not as strange as Rizan’s beak. His mouth looked very much like mine, just bigger with soft, full lips. Though I couldn’t forget they hid viciously sharp teeth.
Might make French kissing a challenge.
Which made my lips twitch in a smile. Natalie must have figured out how to kiss without losing her tongue. Surely I could too.
It might be risky to do anything so intimate. I couldn’t miss the giant hard-on the poor guy had, and all we’d done was talk and hold hands. Okay, I had been touching him for several minutes now, and he’d scanned me. He was a medic, but maybe that had turned him on even more. It’d be a good test of his control. Would he shift? Would he force himself on me? Would I regret tying myself to another dynos before I really knew what the fuck I was doing?
“I’m changing because of Syko,” I whispered as softly as possible, though I had to assume Snyder could still hear. “Because we’re mated. Right?”
Rekt’s eyes tightened ever so slightly, his jaws working as if he was fighting back words that might get us both killed. “Yes.”
Before I lost my courage, I stretched up to press my mouth to his. He quivered beneath my hands, his muscles bunching. Braced. Fighting. To hold himself back? Or his monster? I couldn’t be sure.
I opened my mouth against his, and a guttural sound rolled from his chest. His tongue swept over my lips and then dipped inside, licking over the roof of my mouth. My teeth. Pushing deeply enough I almost gagged, though he quickly adjusted. His tongue was surprisingly long and agile for being so broad. Itmade me think of him between my thighs. Licking like Syko had done before he shifted.
Hunger burned in Rekt. I could feel it in the hungry way he twined my tongue with his. As if he could taste me—like a piece of chocolate cake—and wanted to eat me whole.
Which was a very real possibility. Dyni did eat humans. The threat of danger skittered over my nerves, mixing with the heat rising in my body, as if my body wanted to match his natural temperature. His scent flooded my senses. Musky and wild like Syko but not as terrifying. A hint of salt, like a fresh breeze blowing in off the ocean. Musky, almost snake-like. Reptilian.
I clutched Rekt harder, wrapping my arm around his neck. Pressing closer, my body suddenly trembling, starved for his touch. For more.
We still held hands, his fingers squeezing firmly but not so hard it hurt. He didn’t put his other hand on me. Just his mouth. His tongue. Flicking across my jawline. His breath hot on my neck. He pressed his face against my throat, working his nose up into my hair behind my ear. Then he shuddered, his entire body jerking.
Climax. The smell of salty seas intensified, mixing with the musk of a predator. I felt the hot splatter of cum on my thighs. My torso. It should have disgusted me. Embarrassed me. To have a stranger come all over me like this.
But how could I be mad, when climax pulsed through me too?
