in a population the size of Pavlovan, but not impossible, which was why the Oracle was usually necessary to perform the introductions.
    “ Are you afraid of me?”
    “No.”
    “Mayhap you should be.” His golden stare measured her. “I am—”
    “Stressed out.” Mya finished for him. “Which is completely understandable, That’s why I’m here.”
    “You intend to stand by the door the whole time?”
    “I’m not sure if I should get any closer.” She eyed his perfect chest. “I think I still want to have sex with you.”
    He palmed the already hard length of his shaft pushing against the thin fabric of his pants. “It seems I am primed to respond to you whether I wish to or not.”
    “Then I’ll stay right here. I’ll never take what isn’t offered freely. You have my word. No one will ever force you again.”
    “Thank you.” He paused. “The thing is. You are different. You, I want.”
    Her knees threatened to give way. “Don’t say that.”
    Gods, she needed him to be the sane one—the one to push her away, and yet he seemed to feel the same way that she did.
    He shrugged, which made his muscles ripple beneath his skin. “It is the truth. I cannot understand it myself.”
    “Which is another good reason why I should just stay over here. Everything is way too complicated at the moment for us to make it worse.”
    Her mind circled through possibilities. What was she supposed to do about Orin? She’d refused to go to the Temple to find their Third, and now she was starting to think that the male in front of her was that very person. Orin was hoping for a Second Female so he could finally have a child. How could she reconcile those two things without hurting someone? How could she remain true to herself?
    He rose from the bed and came toward her, pressing one hand against the door behind her head. He was one of the very few men she had ever met who towered over her. With an inarticulate sound, he buried his face in the crook of her neck.
    “I am afraid, Mya .”
    Her hand curved around the back of his neck. “ I know.”
    He leaned into her, the hard ridge of his cock a hot brand against her stomach, and let her hold him.
    “ You will be fine .”
    A tremor ran through him and he nuzzled her skin, his teeth brushing her earlobe, making her shiver in return. Fine was such an inadequate thing to say when he was facing a completely uncertain future on a planet that had apparently abandoned him to his fate.
    She gently pushed on his chest, and he took a faltering step backward, his hands fisted at his side.
    “You are correct. We should not touch each other.” Rekk said.
    The thought of never touching him again—of losing her intimate sense of him overwhelmed her. She couldn’t do it. She just couldn’t.
    She stripped off her uniform and regulation underwear.
    “Mya…”
    She guided him to the bed until he was sitting down and then knelt at his feet. This she could do for him. This she could offer him to help him survive. Orin would never criticize her for that. She pushed Rekk’s knees wide, making a space for herself between them, and untied the drawstring of his pants. His hand covered hers.
    “You do not need to do this.”
    “I want to.”
    He removed his hand and she worked the pants free until she could cup his balls and admire the long, hard length of his shaft. With a soft sound, she licked him from root to tip, making him jump. Pre-cum coated the crown of his cock, and she licked a slow, easy spiral around his slit, sipping at him, her tongue delving deep until his hand shoved into her hair to hold her.
    “Mmm.” The sound of her pleasure vibrated through him, and she closed her eyes and took more, sharing her explorations in her thoughts, showing him himself being slowly devoured.
    “ Gods .”
    Seconds later, he picked her up and laid her on the bed, his broad shoulders spreading her thighs, his hands on her ass, lifting her up to his mouth. She was already wet for him, and he
