His head rested on something warm and soft. Karn blinked his eyes open and realized he lay on Ivy’s lap. He twisted his head and looked up at her.
Ivy had dressed, and apart from the slight sheen of sweat on her forehead, you would barely know they’d just engaged in the hottest sex Karn had ever had.
She raised her eyebrows, a teasing smile on her lips. “That was interesting.”
“I meant to tell you. I got caught up in the moment.” Karn sat up and raked his hand through his hair. “It’s a Forka thing. We all do it. It’s never been quite that intense before. I’ve usually only gotten dizzy.”
“I’m the first woman to make you pass out when you orgasm?”
“There’s no need to sound so smug.” He kissed her forehead.
“There’s some need. It’s quite a skill.”
Karn chuckled and wrapped his arms around Ivy. If she did that to him every time they fucked, he would never let her go. “I give you top marks for effort. It’s just a shame we didn’t get to use the handcuffs.”
Ivy stood and gave Karn a long, lingering kiss. “When you get out of here, we’re going to do a lot of that.”
“I can’t wait.”
“Make sure you’re on your best behavior while you’re here.” Ivy’s smile faded. “I can’t get you out of this. Diadora insists on you being punished, and security isn’t budging over the whole stolen ship issue. You will serve time in prison.”
Karn pulled on his pants and tunic. “I know. You’ll come and visit?”
“So long as they don’t send you to some dreadful mining planet.”
Karn grimaced. He could be sent anywhere. The way Diadora had glared at him, he figured she would make sure his imprisonment was an unpleasant one. “I have to see you. I’ll go crazy if I don’t get to see those gorgeous curves at least once a week. I can’t miss out on seeing our baby grow.”
Ivy smiled and kissed him. “We’ll figure out something. We always do.”
He lifted her off her feet as they kissed again. She was right. They’d get through this and move on to something amazing together.
Karn had a reason to change, a reason to be different and better. He wasn’t giving up on that.
