from him. The salty musk burst on her tongue and she
drew on him harder, wanting him to shoot those hot ropes into her mouth so she
could devour them.
    He worked over her pussy, licking her clit until she shook
with the need to find fulfillment. When he eased his tongue down her seam and thrust
it into her moist opening, she quivered. The scorching need to reach something
higher consumed her.
    She gripped his shaft at the base and ran it through her
fist as she hollowed her cheeks and pulled on his cock.
    “I’m gonna blow,” he whispered against her sex. Then he
enveloped her nubbin in one big bite, sending her flying over the edge of the
world.
    It was like falling. Mindless pleasure ripped through her.
Her body clenched and released again and again just as the first spurt of his
come jetted against the back of her throat. Instinctively she swallowed, riding
the waves of her release and his. Her world narrowed to include only his
flavor, the feel of his mouth on her and the inferno in her core.
    She dug her nails into his buttocks. He thrust his hips,
forcing her to take him deeper until she swallowed the last drop of his come.
He continued to lap at her pussy softly, bringing her down with expert skill.
When he raised his head from her, she met his gaze and the knot in her core
took up residence in her heart.

Chapter Four
     
    The raucous cries of the crowd as Niles climbed out of the
boxing ring thundered in Vega’s ears. As she caught sight of his handsome face,
she gasped. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth and a short gash over
his dark brow.
    A man grabbed his elbow before he could reach her. She
strained onto tiptoe to make out what was going on above the crush of people.
Niles leaned against the side of the ring while the older man swabbed the blood
slicking his temple. Vega’s heart surged into her throat when he winced.
    After a minute of applying pressure to the wound with a
clean towel, the man stepped back and assessed Niles.
    The noise of the crowd fell all at once. Clearly, she heard
him say, “I’m all right, boss. I’ve gotta talk to someone.”
    He shoved through the people to reach her side, a grin
splitting his face. She gaped at him, stunned by the lights glistening off his
sweaty chest and face. As if he were a star.
    “Niles, you’re hurt!”
    “I’ll be okay. Don’t worry. This is what boxing is about. I
can’t believe you’ve never seen a fight.”
    “I don’t want you to do it anymore. He’s hurting you.”
    “Nah, I’ve got the upper hand. See? His face is way uglier
than mine and I took him down cleanly. The next fight will be even quicker. I
have a few pounds on him.”
    She peered between the ropes to see the opponent. He was
sitting in a corner, having several cuts on his face bandaged. Turning to Niles
again, she captured his gaze. “I don’t like it.”
    He caught her wrists and stared into her eyes. “I’m all
right. Look, I’ve gotta get back in there. Wait here, Vega. Don’t move from
this spot, and if anyone asks you to go with him, refuse. Understand?”
    She blinked up at Niles. After days of slipping in and out
of consciousness, she’d grown very used to this concerned expression. She
longed for that other look—the one that had melted her toes to the floor after
he’d just spent long minutes loving her with his mouth.
    The scents of sweat and cigarette smoke stung her nose. A
sharper scent clung to him—some kind of jelly his boss applied to his cut—but
she longed for the fresh, musky scent she remembered.
    “Vega—”
    She threw herself at him. His body was like a stone wall
slicked with perspiration and a smear of blood. He said he liked this sport,
that it was for fun and to relieve stress—a word she didn’t understand—but it
was scaring her. A tremor had begun low in her core, similar in feeling to when
she geared up to light the night sky. Like a hiss of a teapot. Celestials
referred to it as star shivers.
    No, she didn’t like
