My hand slides under his shirt as his lips explore my neck and along my collarbone.

There are too many layers between us. I tug his shirt up to pull it off, but he rolls off me instead. He takes off the shirt and shoves down the jeans so he is naked and all gleaming metallic skin. His cock is thick and hard as he returns his attention to me.

He peels back the blanket and starts undressing me, kissing each newly exposed piece of skin. This time my heart is beating fast with lust, not fright.

And I know exactly where I am and what I want.

Thistle pulls off my leggings and panties in one move, taking his time to kiss down my leg before tossing my clothes on the floor and working his way up the other leg. He licks the crease of my thigh and nudges my legs apart.

I’m already slick with need, but I don’t stop him. I want to feel his tongue on my clit, teasing, caressing. I close my eyes and bite my lip to stop from moaning out loud as he presses two fingers into me. I’m so close to coming—

And he stops.

“Please.”

He moves over me, and I spread my legs wider, eager for him to fill me. When he sinks in, it’s almost too much. The slight roughness of his skin and the stretch as he goes deeper with each thrust is enough to push me over the edge. My core clenches around him as I come.

My fingers dig into his shoulders and my legs wrap around his hips. He thrusts in deep until I’ve taken him all. I take a couple of breaths, adjusting to the size of him. Then he is fucking me, driving into me until I come again. I can’t hold back my gasp of pleasure.

Light kisses me, groaning as he comes.

With his eyes closed he sighs, “you are very addictive. We do not want you to leave us.”

I run my fingers through his hair. “I won’t.”

Thistle might have come to Earth to arrest my ex, but he is leaving with my heart.

EPILOGUE

CADENCE

I watchfrom the transport ship as the women begin to wake up. Some startle when the realize they aren’t in bed, others are slower to wake, blinking and looking around. As the first few get to their feet, Shadow puts an arm around me.

I glance at him. “You know some people will blame aliens?”

“And they would be correct. But we don’t need to give them proof. If you want to join them, it’s not too late.”

I can hear the catch in his voice and know that’s not what he wants. It’s not what I want either, even though I am scared. My heart is bouncing around in my chest and it’s not from helping carry the women out of the ship so the two small shuttles could be loaded inside. Thistle is pretty happy to have two ships to sell, as well as claiming the bounty.

For Earth, this will be another unsolved crime. How many other unsolved crimes are alien related?

Now I’m going to only be dealing with alien related crime. “I’m ready to go.”

My life is about to become something I wouldn’t have been able to dream about only days ago. And I’m excited about the adventure. To do something that few people from Earth have ever done—leave the world. I glance at Thistle’s Shadow side.

Shadow presses a kiss to my cheek. “So are we.”
