“You’re not in trouble for leaving the unit?”
“Lieutenant Zabab wasn’t all that happy, but he sees the bigger picture. He’s talking with High Command and Jagger to decide what will happen next.”
Worry hit Cleo, chasing away her desire. “You don’t think they’ll send you back?”
“They’d be idiots if they did. After all, I uncovered the main Siblet base single-handedly. That makes me kind of awesome, don’t you think?”
She grinned. “Yes, it does. And so modest, too.”
Hunter pulled her closer. “Don’t we have some making up to do?”
Cleo straddled him and kissed him long and hard, feeding her desire and longing into that kiss as their tongues tangled.
He moaned. “Stars, Cleo! Why did you resist me for so long?”
“Because I’m an idiot?” She kissed down his neck.
“Because you were protecting yourself. But you’ve got me to do that now.” Hunter lifted her and laid her down on the couch, stripping off her clothing.
The silver rodent squeaked and raced out of the room.
Hunter eased open her legs and stroked his fingers down her stomach and across her wet heat.
“No more holding back,” Cleo whispered as she tugged him closer.
“Not from me.”
“Or me.” She pulled Hunter in for another long kiss. “And I’m in charge of this ride. You get to sit back and enjoy yourself.”
His grin widened. “Are you still worried about my injuries? I could fuck you for hours. I will fuck you for hours.”
Heat flared across her cheeks. “Nope. I just want to be on top so I can enjoy the view.”
“Then let me make that wish come true.” Hunter pulled off his clothes, and Cleo giggled as he lifted her again and sat her in his lap, his hard cock pressing against her wet folds.
She grabbed his face and kissed him as she sank onto his shaft. Her hands slid down his firm chest as she rode him, loving the feel of his hardness making her so full.
His hands moved to her hips and Hunter groaned as he clasped her tight, rising to meet each thrust. “You feel so good. You were made for me.”
“We were made for each other,” she whispered into his mouth, before groaning as he kept up with her urgent thrusts.
Hunter caught her chin in his hand and tipped her head to meet his gaze. “I love you, Cleo Newman. Always have, always will.”
“Right back at you.” She arched and ground against him.
“Say it while my cock is inside you.”
Cleo closed her eyes. “You know I do.”
Hunter’s fingers slid to her clit, and he vibrated his hand against the swollen nub.
She moaned as her thighs shook and her orgasm grew close. “I love you.”
“Come for me. Squeeze me tight.” Hunter’s fingers worked her as she writhed against him.
She loved the feel of his hands on her body and his mouth tasting her skin.
Cleo screamed as her climax hit, and Hunter held her close as he shivered and released, his hand on her hip as he held her up.
She leaned her forehead against the back of the couch, gasping as her orgasm aftershocks pulsed through her.
“I will always want you, Cleo. I plan to be with you until we’re both old, exhausted, and have dozens of grandbabies rolling around.”
She pulled back and stroked his cheek. “Grandbabies? Don’t we need our own children first?”
“That’s what I see in our future. If you want that with me.” A flicker of doubt filled his purple eyes.
Cleo’s breath caught in her throat. “Of course I want that. You’d make the best father.”
“We’ll make the best parents.”
“When the time is right. And not when we’re battling with the Siblet and having to deal with High Command.”
His hand slid down to her sensitive clit, and he stroked her again. “Let me take your mind off that. I’ve got something much more interesting for you to think about.”
