“Female,” he grated, his jaw tight.“You must stop.”
“Stop what?” she asked, darting her gaze to him almost guilty.She’d been caught checking out his junk.
“I can smell your cunt,” he growled.
Beks didn’t know if his crude words turned her on even more or not.But she felt his powerful voice to the very tips of her cold toes.
“You…” she licked her lips.“You can…”
“Tev,” he said, his frown not budging an inch.His erect cock was so big that it literally cast half of his pants in shadow from the firelight.
“I can’t help it,” she argued.“Besides, you’re the one who looked at my nipples first!”
Lihvan swallowed and his eyes strayed downwards to her chest again, as if proving her point.Were his horns straightening?
Then he grunted and looked away, pushing himself up in a graceful stand.Their alcove suddenly seemed a million times smaller with his broad chest, muscular thighs, and massive height taking up much of the room.The fire highlighted the eight square muscles lining his abdomen and Beks wondered what it would be like to run her tongue around every defined one.
She remembered her wanton display the last time she’d seen him.She remembered the dent in the wall he’d left behind.She pictured Lihvan pressing himself into it so hard as he watched her masturbate.And again, she wondered if he’d done that because he was taken aback by her actions or because he’d been on the verge of lunging for her…
He said that if theymated…he would never let her go.She’d responded to the possession in his voice then.She’dcravedit.Now?She felt like if he did claim her, she’d never be the same again.
That thought was enough to make her back off a little.It scared her.What was it about him that scared her so much?
Dropping her gaze away, she said, “Let’s, um…let’s do something.”
Nice, Beks, she thought with a mental eye roll.
“Are you hungry?” he asked, without missing a beat.
“A little,” she admitted, surprised that after the events of that day, her stomach could want food.“But I can wait until the morning.”
Lihvan frowned, his scar pulling his cheek.“I will hunt for you.”
“No, really,” she insisted, berating herself for not lying in the first place.“It’s dark and way too cold.I don’t want you going out there.Please.Let’s just get some of those water crystals you talked about earlier.I might just be thirsty.”
After all, when they’d crash landed, it had been blazing hot.She was probably just slightly dehydrated.
To her relief, Lihvan nodded but then said, “You stay here.It is dark where the crystals are and they are sharp.I do not want you injuring yourself.”
Beks lips pulled into a frown, but then she agreed, “Okay.”
“No following me this time,” he said, eyeing her.
Her lips quirked the other way.“I promise I won’t.”
Beks watched him disappear out of their alcove and down the cave tunnel.His scaled skin had appeared golden in front of the fire but turned a darker blue shade as he rounded the corner.
Beautiful, she couldn’t help but think.Everything about him fascinated her and she worried that if they ever got off this planet and back to some kind of civilization, would she be able to break this weird little crush she had on him?
Another problem for another day, she decided, her gaze flickering to the fire.Lihvan returned shortly.In one arm, he cradled seven or eight shards of silver crystals.They were about a foot long each and bounced light all over the alcove as he walked towards the fire.In the other arm was a black stone, with a small rounded notch the size of her palm.
“What’s that for?” she wondered.
“We need to boil the crystals to extract the liquid,” he said, setting down the crystals and turning the stone in his hands.“I will need to carve it down more.”
“Let me do it,” she said, wanting to be helpful.“You’ve already done so much.”
He was on the verge of denying.Beks could see it on the tip of his tongue.However, for a moment he eyed her and she got the eerie sense that he could see everything about her.It made the hairs on the back of her neck stand on end and it had nothing to do with the freezing cold air blowing into their shelter.
