His deep, husky voice ran though her, leaving goose bumps. “Tongue. Put your tongue inside me.”
He followed the direction, stabbing inside her, again adjusting to what she liked best.
“What else?”
She was shaking, riding the fine edge of arousal, the end a shining promise to come. “My clit…clitoris. It’s the most sensitive.”
He licked at it instantly, and she nearly flew off the bed.
“Suck it.” Her head fell back under the onslaught. “Nip it. Gently.” She could barely get the words out.
He’d told her he didn’t follow orders, but he followed hers just fine. A second later, the most intense orgasm of her life ripped through her and she screamed.
When she recovered enough she could see, she lifted her head and saw him still kneeling, his cheek pressed against her thigh. His face was flushed and sheened with perspiration. It was impossible to tell from his expressionless features, but she suspected he was immensely pleased with himself.
“That was a truly brilliant experience, Malin.”
A giggle escaped before she slapped a hand over her mouth. She never giggled. “I think that’s my line.”
“Next, I would like?—”
When he broke off, his attention focused off in space, she frowned and grabbed his arm. “What is it?”
“One of the searches has found some possible references for Technis.”
Mal swallowed a sigh. “It’s okay, tough guy. Go check it out.”
He hesitated for a second, then rose. “Thank you.”
She took her time dressing, her body still tingling from Xander’s touches. He was enjoying discovering sexual pleasure with her. Stars, and she was too. But she had to remember he would never let it get in the way of his mission. She’d be a momentary experience for him, nothing more.
After taking her time to dress, she eventually joined him in the cockpit. He sat hunched over the console, completely focused, but she sensed his monumental frustration. “Anything?”
He shook his head.
Mal looked at her cousins. “What’s the plan?”
Dathan shrugged. “For now, we’ll head back to Khan and keep trying to locate Technis.”
For the rest of the journey, Mal caught up on some sleep. But Xander stayed at the computer, running searches, wading through data. A man possessed.
Correction—a cyborg possessed.
Several hours later, they were back on Khan. Mal didn’t realize just how glad she was to be home until she strode into the rec area. Dathan was sprawled on a couch with Eos tucked beside him, and Nik sat at the computer console.
“Anything come up on this Technis yet?” she asked.
Dathan shook his head. “Nik’s got BEll working on it now. She’s checking all known star systems.”
Mal sensed rather than saw Xander enter the room.
For a second, she found herself staring at his handsome face, remembering the insane pleasure of his mouth on her. For the moment, crazy or not, he was hers.
“I’ve found no records of this planet in my databases.” Something dark flickered in his eyes. “I also hacked into some older CenSec databases. Nothing.”
She moved to him and smoothed a hand down his arm. He didn’t pull away. “We’ll find it.” She paused. “Maybe the Taskmaster lied?”
“No. I was monitoring his vitals. He was telling the truth. Or at least what he believed was the truth.”
