She pulled the sheets tighter against her body as her trembling fingers fluttered against the soaked thin fabric of her panties; against her desperately wanting flesh.

God, how am I going to get through three more days of this?

If only he knew.

Maybe he did. Nothing seemed to escape this man.

“Is there somewhere I can… cook?” she uttered breathlessly.

Ikriss inclined his head, appearing mildly surprised. “Did they not tell you? Silence has a fully equipped human food preparation room. It is stocked with an abundance of ingredients from Earth.”

Sienna’s jaw dropped. “You’re serious?”

“We are well used to accommodating humans by now, and food seems to be the singular obsession amongst all of you, so the General has had the station outfitted accordingly. The mates do seem to spend a lot of time in the selection, preparation, and consumption of food. Perhaps, one day, you can help me understand it.”

A sudden realization hit her. “You don’t even know what it’s like to eat for pleasure, do you?”

“What pleasure can be found in food? It’s sustenance, nothing more.”

Sienna shook her head in disbelief. Challenge accepted. “You won’t be saying that when I’m done with you.”

“Oh?” There was that sharp-edged, devilish smile again; the one that turned her insides to jelly and melted her ovaries. “I look forward to it.” His voice thickened. “But clearly, there is more than one kind of pleasure…”

Her heartbeat quickened. “What are you saying, Ikriss?”

“I see your hands have not been idle.”

She froze, suddenly keenly aware of her dancing fingers.

Caught in the act.

And she didn’t care. Not too long ago, she’d stood in front of him, and he’d been naked with a full-blown erection.

God, the sight of his silver cock…

It was etched into her memory.

If she wasn’t mistaken, his anatomy was a little different to a human male’s.

She remembered it clearly; there was a raised ridge running along the front of his cock, from tip to shaft.

How fucking good would it feel to have him inside her?

She let out a shuddering little sigh.

Holographic Ikriss leaned forward, his lips parting to reveal the tips of his fangs. “Does the sight of me arouse you, Sienna?”

“I think you already know the answer to that, Commander,” she uttered, her voice a ragged whisper.

Abruptly, he stood and came to her side, and she couldn’t help but reach out and try to touch him, even though she knew the image before her was nothing but particles of light and thin air. She longed to feel his bare silver skin against her fingertips.

The thought of having him whole again and completely to herself…

It drove her wild.

“I still want to hear it from your lips,” Ikriss said softly, leaning in so his face was barely inches from hers. She could make out the fine details in his features; the tension in his face, which contrasted with the sensual softness of his lips.

“It’s true,” she admitted, suddenly feeling liberated. “I find you insanely attractive. Shit. This is actually very hard.”
