They ran through the corridors, twisting and turning to throw their pursuers off.
Dathan’s voice came through Xander’s systems. “You guys nearly at the shuttle?”
“Negative. The access was blocked by Rahl.”
Dathan cursed.
“We’re coming through the living areas. We’ll get there.”
“Make it quick. There’s a group of Rahl tearing through the landing pads. Think they’re looking for our shuttle.”
Xander moved through another door. It led into a sort of dorm room with beds lining the walls.
And it wasn’t empty.
She stopped and bumped into him.
“What the?—”
He slapped a hand over her mouth and dragged her around in front of him. But his gaze didn’t leave the tableau in front of them.
A large Rahl warrior was sprawled back on the edge of a bed, legs spread.
Between his legs, a green-skinned woman knelt, her mouth engulfing his large cock.
Xander felt Malin stiffen. His own muscles tensed to breaking point. He couldn’t make himself look away—from the woman’s stretched red lips and bobbing head or from the rictus of pleasure-pain on the man’s face. The woman was making little humming sounds of pleasure.
In Xander’s head, it was so easy to imagine the scene with him and Malin. Him, sprawled back and Malin on her knees, his cock in the sweet heat of her mouth.
She leaned into him, her shapely bottom rubbing against him. He hissed out a breath.
When the Rahl groaned, it snapped Xander out of the sensual spell. He took hold of Malin’s arm and pulled her left, toward the opposite door and out of the room.
As they passed into yet another corridor, she kept her gaze resolutely ahead. “Which way?”
“Ahead and to the left.”
They hadn’t gone far when Dathan’s voice came through again. “CenSec, you there?”
“Yes.”
“They’ve found the shuttle.”
Xander bit off a curse. “We’ll find another shuttle.”
“I won’t risk my cousin?—”
“I’ll take care of Malin.” He looked down into turbulent amethyst eyes. “You have my word.”
“I’ll hold you to that, CenSec. If you don’t get her back to us safely…” Dathan didn’t need to finish his threat.
“I’ll keep her safe.” And as the words crossed his lips, he realized keeping her safe had become vitally important to him.
“What’s going on?” she asked.
He hurried her down the hall. “The Rahl found our shuttle. We’ll need to find another way out.”
“We’ll have to steal another shuttle.”
