It seemed to go on forever until Luke finally pulled off and I slid down the wall, my jelly legs splayed out in front of me.

Once I was down, Luke scrambled to his feet, unbuttoned his flight suit, and started jacking himself off.

“On me,” I managed between gasps, and he moved to straddle my thighs, still working his cock. I wrapped my hand around his and watched transfixed as he quickly stroked himself, faster and faster, his hand flying. Then his rhythm stuttered, and he tensed for a second before leaning one hand against the wall and shooting his load over my face with a muffled grunt of satisfaction. And as the warm fluid dripped down my chin and onto my chest, I scooped it up and licked my fingers clean.

He grabbed my hand and sucked my fingers deep. Then he pulled me to my feet and kissed me, his tongue darting through my mouth, lips swollen and slick with come, his and mine. That done, he pulled away, although still cradling my face, both of us a mess, and grinning like the idiots that we were.

“Well, damn, Mister Lane.” He put on an awful cowboy drawl as he leaned in to lick my face clean. “I might just be able to get into this farming gig after all.”

I chuckled and pushed him off, reaching for my shirt to dry my face. “That’s a big call based on a blowjob in the woolshed. Albeit an excellent blowjob.”

He tipped an imaginary hat. “Why, thank you.”

“Mind you, it’s not the first time this building has played host to similar shenanigans. Holden and Gil have supplies stashed all over the station. Ask me how I know. How weallknow.”

His eyes flew wide. “Nope. I don’t want to know. That’s too weird.”

I snorted. “Right? Although I have to say, I feel like I got a little of my own back this afternoon.”

His smile faded. “Is that part of what this is for you? Evening the score?”

I blinked. “What? No. Of course not. I only meant that I’ll be able to swap disturbing images of them for sexy ones of us. Way more interesting.”

“Oh.” Luke’s shoulders relaxed. “In that case, you’re welcome.”

I thought about what he’d asked and couldn’t pretend I hadn’t wondered the same thing at times. “What about you?” I waited, feeling absurdly uneasy about his answer.

“Absolutely not.” He hoisted my jeans and briefs back into place and carefully buttoned me in. Then he cupped my cheek. “You are definitely nothing to do with payback. The furthest thing from it.”

His words relieved me in a way I didn’t want to think about too much. “Good to know.” I helped him back into his flight suit and dusted him off. “Thanks forchecking inwith me, geographically speaking.”

He put my hat back on my head, then tipped it back to kiss me. “Until next time, then.”

I returned his happy smile. “Until next time.”Lord, help me.

The minute the door closed behind him, I sank onto a bench a few metres away and reminded myself that this thing between us was all about sex, nothing more.

Admittedly, great sex.

No denying that.

But in the end, just sex.

Luke was a good man and an outstanding fuck.

Didn’t mean I was getting feelings for him.

“Harder!”Zach’s heels dug into my butt to emphasise his point.

After a month of regular sex with the feisty man, my body had more bruises than an MMA fighter. Not that I was complaining. I changed my angle and slammed into him exactly as ordered.

“Oh fuck, yes!” He grabbed me around the neck and dragged me down for a kiss, grunting into my mouth with every thrust I made while his other hand sneaked between our slick bodies to wrap around his cock.
