Chapter 14
“Well, you’ve certainly got your work cut out for you with that one,” Dr. Tan said as the membrane closed behind Kat’Chinna.
“Yeah,” Chao said, giving him a grin. “I thought you said no female could resist your charms.”
“They can’t,” Jeffrey said, throwing a grin back at her. “Some just take longer to warm up than others.”
Chao laughed and Tan covered her mouth, hiding a smile.
“Sorry, ladies,” he said, patting them both on opposite arms. “Gotta run. Got another hot date in an interrogation room.” He hurried toward the membrane, not wanting to let Kat get too far ahead.
“Good luck!” Chao called after him.
“You’re gonna need it,” Tan chimed in.
He just made it into the corridor in time to see Kat turning down a left-hand spur in the distance. Jeffrey sped after her.
Damn, she’s fast. It must be those long legs of her. Legs that go on forever. Legs that are so toned and strong. I can’t wait to have them wrapped around my waist as I surge into her.
His cock instantly hardened and Jeffrey cursed. The alien female had such an overwhelming effect on him. And now they’d been thrown together again, another dangerous mission as it were.
Except this time, he’d be the one making the rules.
He would be lying if he said that thought didn’t excite him. It put a thousand images in his head. Kat’Chinna, lying beneath him, her spellbinding eyes begging him to take her. On her knees, looking up at him with longing, ready to submit to his every whim.
Better calm down, old boy.His cock twitched in his flight suit.We’ve almost caught up to her. Can’t let her know how much she gets to you. Not if you want to remain in control.
At last, he made it to her side and slowed down his pace, getting in step with the alien lieutenant. “Where are we headed, Kat?”
She refused to look at him. Her face was neutral, but her eyes were cold. “I thought I told you not to call me that, Lieutenant.”
“Let’s not be formal for formal’s sake,” he responded. “I’ll call you Kat, you call me Jeffrey, and Bob’s your uncle.”
“I don’t know any Bob, Lieutenant.”
So much for your winning sense of humor, Jeffrey thought wryly. “So we’re just going to call each other ‘Lieutenant’ like a pair of ninnies?”
“I’m afraid I’m not familiar with ninnies either, Lieutenant.”
Jeffrey wanted to groan. It was clear she was set on keeping her chilly attitude in place.
“Look,” he said, grabbing her arm to pull her to the side of the corridor, near a large round window. “We never talked about what happened.”
“And we won’t,Lieutenant,” she replied.
Jeffrey almost recoiled at the venom she put into his title.
“If you’re going to be working under me, we should at least discuss—“
“I’ll never be under you again, so you don’t need to worry about it. Let’s just complete this mission, and then we never have to talk to each other again.”
“I enjoy talking to you. I thought you enjoyed me too. At least—“
“You can be sure, I’m not enjoying this,” she spit back at him, streaks of yellow starting to climb up her limbs.
“Kat, I don’t know what I did to make you so upset, but—“
She was determined to continue interrupting him, it seemed. “I’m not upset,” she said, closing her eyes until the yellow tint of her skin morphed back to green. Her eyes opened once more. “I’m impatient to follow the regent’s orders.”
