He pulls me into his arms and kisses me again. It’s like we can’t keep our hands off one another; I've never experienced something like this before, but I love it. “And if you ever truly get stuck, all you have to do is call me and I will come and find you.” He’s so freaking sweet. Who would have guessed that aggressive, angry man from the first week would be such a fucking sweetheart?

We’re giggling as we make our way into Doc’s waiting room. Stopping at the desk, we wait for the nurse to acknowledge us, Caspian kissing me in between giggles as he takes his sweet time.

He still hasn't acknowledged us even though there is no one else in the room when the dividing door swings open and Link pops his head out. “I thought I heard you, Lila.” He smiles and gestures for us to come in. That’s when Nurse Ratched decides to come to life. “But Dr. Tesla, you have an appointment in five minutes.” Link looks around the room.

“Well, they’re not here, and these two are. They can wait,” he tells him, and he scowls.

He and Caspian are talking as they walk into the exam room, so both miss the evil glare he gives me. What the fuck is his problem? I flip him off, not willing to play nice if he doesn't want to, and let the door slam behind me.

“Caspian says your translator is malfunctioning after your swim. How about you hop up onto the bed so I can fix it for you.” Link pats the examination bed again, so I climb up on it. Caspian comes over and gives me a kiss.

“I’m going to arrange some dinner in our room,” he tells me before turning to Link. “Doc, why don't you join us?”

“That would be nice, thank you. I’d love to.” Despite his initial surprise, he seems genuinely pleased by the offer.

Link goes over to a cupboard, and Caspian quickly whispers in my ear. “Have fun, baby. Maybe Link can take care of the frustration you’re feeling now.” He winks then quickly departs before I can react, leaving me with my mouth dropping open.

Did he just rev me up on the way here so that he could let another man take care of it for me?Best mate ever.I squeeze my legs tightly together under my towel, trying to relieve some of the pressure.

Link moves back over to me, placing that same tray down. Once again, he pushes my thighs apart and tries to slip between them, but my giant towel stops him. He looks down at it, a frown crossing his brow, before looking back at me. The shimmer on his skin seems to be brighter today, and there’s a slight glow to his eyes. I can’t say that I ever read many books about cyborgs before, but I’m itching to update my library now.

“Lila, I have updated my files with all the information regarding kraken breeding. I would like to make sure that everything is okay if that’s alright with you.”

“Yeah, that’s fine. What do I need to do?”

“Well, I’d like to scan your body again with my new program. It might be better if you remove the towel and lie down.”

Lay down in front of the doctor naked? Yes, please. Dropping my towel, I shift my body to lay down on the table, but as I move my shoulders, Link’s hand clamps down on one. “That mark…Yourmark is on my shoulder.” He turns around and looks at my other shoulder, adding, “And mine is on yours.”

I shrug, trying to play it as cool as I can while the hot doctor notices just how attractive I find him. “Yes, isn't that how it works for my race? That’s what the grandpas told me at least.” He nods, quickly letting me go and allowing me to move.

“Yes, Lila, it does, but it’s never happened tomebefore. The attraction has never been mutual, so marks have never appeared.” He sounds amazed, his normally very factual voice full of wonder.

I settle myself on the bed, and it’s in that moment he realizes that I’m entirely naked. He unashamedly peruses my body, his eyes full of a longing heat that’s anything but clinical. Shaking his head, the desire disappears as quickly as it appeared, and he’s all professional once more.

“Okay, Lila, I’m just going to scan your body. I will stop when I get to the eggs to make sure everything is okay, and then I will go back to the translator to find out what’s wrong with that.” He explains it all very matter-of-factly, and after all the new information I’ve had to process, I really appreciate his straightforward way of speaking.

True to his word, he pauses at my stomach, but then he starts doing something unexpected. Softly, his hands touch me, palpating my lower abdomen, though I don’t know what he’s looking for. His lips purse at whatever he sees or feels, and my heartbeat increases. Is something wrong?

“It’s okay, Lila. Just breathe in and out, everything is fine. There are three healthy, viable eggs in there, and they all have a heartbeat even when they're in stasis. But they are giving off a hormone that is going to make you…” He breaks off like he’s not sure how to tell me.

Oh, I’ll help him out any time. “Horny, right?”

“Yes, exactly, and you seem to have a high libido anyway. This is going to make it worse.”

“It’s okay, Link. Caspian explained it all to me. I’m going to give off fuck me vibes. Maybe that’s why my mark appeared on you.” I can’t help the disappointment that’s in my voice, and I look away from the gorgeous cyborg. I don't want hormones to have manipulated this man into liking me.

“The marks appearedbeforeyou were pregnant, Lila. Don't worry about that,” he assures me quietly, and when I look up, his eyes have changed back to showing me what he really wants.

“Would you like me to take care of the need now before we continue with the translator? You may be more comfortable, and I heard your mate say that it was okay.” He makes the offer just as he explained the steps of his examination. If I couldn’t see the truth in his eyes, I might think this was some kind of treatment, simply the concern of a medical professional wanting his patient to be comfortable, but those eyes don’t lie.

Well shit, since Caspian gave the go ahead and the Doc is offering so politely... “That would be great, thank you,” I answer just as politely even though all I want to do is mount him and ride him like a pony. Save a horse, ride a cyborg!

With a smirk, he walks around to the end of the bed where my feet are. He wraps his hands around my ankles and gently pulls. I slide down the bed until my knees are hanging over the edge, my aching pussy in easy reach. He bends down, his silver hair flopping over his forehead, and sticks out his tongue, running it through my folds.

A moan slips out of my mouth before I can help it. God, I can appreciate a man who goes straight to what he wants.

“You better muffle that noise if you don't want the nurse to stop us again,” he cautions, so I grab the pillow from behind me and put it over my face. I’d much rather watch him eat me out, but there’s no way I’m going to risk having him stop again.
