She shifted and so did the oversized shirt she wore. The fabric flapped open, revealing the gentle slope of her breast peaked with a dusty rose circle and nipple. The woman had curves in all the right places. Definitely a body made for him.

Wade wanted to growl in frustration. He’d never taken a woman against her will and didn’t want to start now. But, damn, his cock ached for some relief.

Maybe I should growl. Wake her up and have her wrap her pussy around my cock.

She rolled from her side to her back. Her eyelids fluttered open. Charm gazed at him with the most beautiful eyes he’d ever seen. His penis twitched and seemed to grow a couple more centimeters.

“Wade, you’re awake. That’s wonderful.”

The purr of her voice and sound of his name from her lips sent his heart racing. Warmth radiated through his body, and he quivered with the effort of controlling the joyous emotions threatening to spill out of him.

Charm placed a hand on his chest. “I was worried there for a while.” She stroked her fingers down his torso and cupped his hard length. “But it seems you’re doing quite fine.”

He sucked in a quick breath, wishing his pants weren’t between his cock and her hand. “Careful, woman. If you are not prepared to follow through, you will want to remove your hand.”

She offered a seductive smile and rubbed her hand against the bulge. “What happens if I don’t move it?”

Not knowing if she teased or not, Wade let out a low rolling snarl.

“Well?” Charm snuggled against him. “Something’s come over me. Healed from our injuries or not, I don’t care. I find myself wanting you. It’s almost unbearable. Tell me, Wade, can we fuck?”

Charm’s blunt question surprised him. Pressing his lips together, he stared at her for several long seconds, trying to reconcile her against other Earth females he’d met. Problem was, she didn’t fit any of the typical examples. He grinned. “I like your style. It is very forward and a refreshing change. Much different than other females I have encountered.”

“Have you met many women?” She rocked her palm against his length.

He raised a brow. Could she be jealous of those who might have come before her? That boded well for him and Thorne if so. Meant she probably wanted them as much as they wanted her. “My share of women, whether zero or one hundred, is none of your affair. Just as your past is none of ours.”

She chuckled. “All right.”

“Does it really matter in the end? As far as Thorne is concerned, you are our mate. You are the only one for us now.”

Her eyebrows drew together. “As far as he’s concerned? What about you? You have a say in all this, don’t you, especially if you have to share me?”

“Yes, I do.” Gripping her hair, he angled her head back and claimed her mouth with his own. He set the pace, traveling his lips over hers, licking and nipping. She was brazen in her reciprocation, and he drank in her passion, wanting to consume her. She stimulated him and his desires as no woman, Aurath or Earthbound, ever had. Truffron or no, he had to admit he’d longed to be with her since the moment she’d ducked under the table. He ached to touch her, feel her curves, and bury his cock deep in her heat.
