for something. And whatever her motives, he wouldn’t deviate from his. Like this insane mission to gain BioOne, with Shon he’d come too far to turn back. He tightened his hold.
Shon was an unforeseen complication. He couldn’t trust her, didn’t know her, but he wanted to because he had to have her.
Tarik stood. “Hold her,” he commanded BioOne.
Shon molded to the wall, a force field trapping and keeping her immobile. “Tarik!” Panic laced her voice. “What are you doing?” Her eyes widened, stricken with fear as she fought the force holding her.
“Getting the truth. Why are you here?”
She trembled, her respiration erratic. “Why should I tell you when you expect what you don’t give in return? Don’t do this.”
“A minute ago, you were willing to fuck me to get information.” Now, she wanted his consideration.
“I would’ve fucked you because, for a moment, I thought we were in this together. I wouldn’t screw you for information.”
He heard the lie in her voice.
“We are in this together, but that doesn’t mean we’re fighting for the same side. Who sent you?” he demanded. “I want the truth?” He inhaled long and deep. “And if you had any doubt, I’d definitely fuck you for information.”
Her gaze narrowed as the glare in her eyes turned to loathing. “I’m not into bondage so get the booty-bot to fuck you like this. Let me go,” she seethed.
“Why would I fuck the booty-bot? I don’t need information from it. I know why it’s here. I want to know why you’re here.”
She closed her eyes. When she opened them, her piercing stare knifed through his heart. “You’re crazy.” She struggled, but BioOne held her in place.
He couldn’t risk the ship, not even for a hot piece of ass. Shit. He didn’t mean that. She wasn’t a piece of ass. If all he needed was sex, he’d have the booty-bot sucking him off. But he had to know who she was. Had to know if he could trust her.
He closed the space between them and grazed his thumb over her nipple, making it harden. She sucked in a breath.
“What do you want?” He pinched and rolled the tip into a tight, hard bud.
“Not you. Not anymore.” Her chest rose, pushing her breast into his hand. “I want you to let me go.”
“I don’t believe you.” With a fingertip, he drew circles around her areola. “And you’re right, we should discuss what I want.” He wanted her naked. With a thought to BioOne, her clothing disintegrated, leaving her nude.
“Do you expect me to grovel? Beg for you not to touch me, not to fuck me?” She bit back a moan.
“I wouldn’t believe you if you did.”
“If I’m a liar, why would you believe anything I have to say?”
She was as smart as she was beautiful. The body suit may not have concealed her feminine curves, but his heartbeat spiked at the sight of her bare flesh. Trim hips flowed into long legs and a feathery soft apex between her legs. A thin strip of curls darkened the slit of her pussy. “BioOne is a lie detector. She reads heart rate, respiration, temperature. You can lie to me but she’ll know.”
With each aggravated breath, a slight flush tinted her flesh. Dark hair fell in sexy disarray around her shoulders. Her slightly parted lips pursed, and her eyes narrowed. “Don’t touch me. I want you to let me go, and I won’t beg for anything else.”
“Liar.”
“You aren’t playing fair.” She whimpered, sinking her teeth into her bottom lip.
“I never do. We both know you want to fuck me as much as I want to fuck you.” He cupped her cunt. Moist heat flooded his hand. “But, before that can happen, I want the truth. Since you stepped onto my ship, you’ve been angling for information. I need the truth.”
“Then a mutual exchange of information?”
“No, my ship.” With defiant skill, he parted her slit and slid his finger through her wet folds. “My hostage.” He slowly screwed his finger into her drenched core.
“Ahh.” She closed her
