was definitely that.
Second of all, he growls, her mind continued – ever since her conversation with Seleya that had nearly cost Urenya her career she was constantly analyzing herself.
Now that was more difficult to understand, but it was true. She was irrationally fond of the way his already low voice dropped to almost inaudible levels when he was aroused – which certainly didn’t escape her attention when she’d been kneeling between his legs – and the way it made her skin shiver as though the sound waves literally caressed her.
And thirdly, of course, you practically fondled him.
Urenya didn’t start to protest that, because it would have been suggesting she wasn’t aware at all times of what she was doing with her patients, and besides, yes, her hands didn’t necessarily need to go up that high but…
And well, he’s huge.
Ah, yes. That too. She hadn’t actually been out to do anything inappropriate, she’d merely wanted to touch more of that solid, steel-like body in front of her. It wasn’t as though he hadn’t clearly been enjoying it. No, she’d brushed against his cock entirely by accident because she simply hadn’t thought it could, well, reach that far.
While it wasn’t the main reason she’d said no, a good amount of it was a fair certainty Narath would rip her in two.
So why couldn’t she still get the lovable giant out of her mind?
At the moment possibly because he was suddenly standing right in front of her, leaning on his battle spear, tall and strong and dressed for battle. The valor squares pulsing in his neck cast his features in an odd light, bringing the green of his eyes even more to the fore. His short black hair framed his face to make the whole picture even more enticing. Her mouth watered despite herself. A part of her that had been sleeping for a long time wondered if she might still take the risk of being split apart.
“The commander needs us on the surface,” Narath said, his voice deep and heavy already from the thought of the upcoming fight.
Urenya hoped she managed to hide her shiver.
“He tasked me to bring you to him. Promising to, and I quote, kill me with his bare hands if I let something happen to you.”
Urenya smiled. Wasn’t their commander, a man from whom more enemies ran than faced him, a sweetheart after all?
The Triumphant loomed over a world called TD-17 for short, Target Destination 17 in their official records. The Brions knew fairly little of the planet itself, except that the Galactic Union didn’t like it. The Union had tried to make contact with the species living on the planet but to no avail.
Urneya wasn’t sure whether they were incapable of communication or unwilling to communicate. It seemed the Union didn’t know either, but what they did know was the species clearly didn’t like them. The GU couldn’t just ignore a possible threat, taking into consideration they’d found out about the strange Atherins, as they were called, when the creatures had attacked one of the Palian worlds. That happened to the Union occasionally, Urenya knew. Not all the species in the galaxy were willing to share the stars with others. Compared to them, the Brions seemed like the lesser of two evils.
The GU had thought it a perfect opportunity for the Brions to demonstrate they could play with others and do what they did best in the meantime. Also something that happened a lot, which worked well for both parties. The Union got rid of its enemies without bloodying its hands, especially the Palians who hated resorting to violence, and the Brions got to battle for a righteous cause.
The commander had kept Urenya safely aboard the Triumphant so far, and judging by the bodies she was sent – both Atherin and Brion – Urenya understood why. The Atherins were a roughly humanoid species, the expression borrowed from the Terrans but for the way their skin morphed. It gained density, making it difficult to pierce with even the most well-aimed blow, but
