“That wasn’t necessary.”
“Yes, it is. You need to take better care of yourself. I’m going to make sure you do from now on.”
“I—thank you.” He led them back to his quarters. She placed the tray on the table. No sooner had she put it down than he had her in his arms.

LemAN was touched by her concern for him, and felt a tightness in his chest. He hadn’t been this overwhelmed by emotions before, and he needed an outlet of some kind for it. The only one he could think of was to show her physically how she made him feel. Show her how much he needed her more than rest or food.
He closed the door to his quarters and took her in his arms.Yes, this was where she belonged, in my arms.Kissing her ignited the flames of desire racing through his body. He was hard just with the mere thought of her. His cock was thick and firm, pressing painfully against her. They had too many clothes between them.
He reached for her clothes, again overalls. How many pairs of these things did she own? The good thing about them was, once he got the straps down, the whole thing fell to her feet, leaving her in a tiny T-shirt and a pair of pink panties.
“I take it you missed me?”
He looked into her eyes as he eased his fingers inside the front of her panties. “Yes.”
She tilted her head back, closing her eyes when he slid a finger inside her. “I missed you, too. Oh…that feels so good, LemAN.”
Hearing that she missed him as well helped eased some of his possessiveness. She had been surrounded by other males who clearly adored her. Who wouldn’t? Yet she missed him.
“I need you, Teagan.”
“I need you, too.”
He quickly unhooked his pants, letting them fall to his knees, then used both hands to rip her panties. She should never wear these things. He lifted her up in his arms. “Wrap your legs around me. This is going to be quick.”
She did what he told her to. As soon as he got the tip of his cock at the edge of her pussy lips, her juices coated him. He was grateful she was ready for him because he had to have her—now!
He thrust upward until he was all the way inside her. They both moaned from the fullness. “Teagan, my Teagan.”
LemAN pulled out only to return over and over. Her inner walls gripped him in welcome each time. It wasn’t the slow and thorough lovemaking he had given her the previous night. He couldn’t stop himself from taking her hard and deep.
“Yes, LemAN, harder!” She growled the words as she squeezed his hips.
“Goddess, I’m not going to hold back.”
“Don’t hold back, give me everything!”
He felt the fire pulsing so hard to break free from his body, the pressure became too much to hold in then he let loose, shooting his seed up inside, coating her, and claiming her as his. He should have asked, but he didn’t. There was no time—at least, he told himself that. As his body was squeezed by Teagan finding her own release, he knew the truth. He wanted to claim her as his because if something happened to him while on board the Morin transport, he wanted her to be protected and cared for as his mate. He’d have to let BorIS know that.
“Why do you have such a serious face?”
He pulled out and slowly lowered her to her feet. “I did not realize my face had a…face.” Stepping back, he reached to pull up his pants and she did the same to her coveralls. “There is something I need to talk to you about.”
She bent down to retrieve her panties and giggled. “These are toast.” She threw them in the waste disposal compartment in the wall. “What did you want to talk about?”
Taking her hand, he led her over to the bed. “Sit.”
Teagan followed his instructions. “You’re scaring me. What’s wrong?”
“We caught up to one of the Morin transports. This one has massive damage.”
“That’s good, right? They won’t be able to attack.”
“They’re not trying to attack. They are requesting assistance.”
“What? Those guys are evil.”
