Page 40 of Capture of Capricorn

Tower had obviously accepted her presence and set out to make her comfortable. Capricorn seemed determined to make her the most sexually satisfied woman ever. Everyone she met proved friendly and likeable—which was a big deal for someone like Zora, who didn’t make friends easily.

The next week proved to be the best of her life full of good food, great conversation, some epic metalworking, and ridiculously awesome sex.

This was the life. Reality didn’t come crashing until after her morning wakeup nookie with Capricorn got interrupted by a chime then Aries’ voice saying, “Everyone to the cafeteria for an emergency meeting over breakfast.”

CHAPTER 13

Despite the summonsby the boss, Capricorn wanted nothing more than to bury his face back between Zora’s thighs. This past week had been incredibly satisfying, and he had Zora to thank for that. What a minx. What a delight. What a lover.

When she’d made the first move and seduced him, he’d been taken by surprise. He hadn’t even been sure she liked him up until that point. But damn, that woman knew how to pleasure a man.

Her lips on his cock? He’d almost come the moment she’d touched him.

Fucking her, he’d been like a virgin again, ready to pop at the first feel of a pussy around him.

But it wasn’t even just the sex that had him eager to see her all day long. He looked forward to chuckling at her dark sarcasm, her acerbic humor, her way of stripping bullshit to see at the heart of things, her excitement and passion as she showed him what she’d designed in her smithy, but best of all, how she lit up at the sight of him. She always greeted him with a smile and a, “Hey, baby, how was your day?” and to be honest, it didn’t matter how frustrated he’d been at the lack of progressin locating Adam or the relic, or how hard he’d been worked in training. Being with Zora made everything else fade away.

Fucking Aries calling a breakfast meeting, interrupting his morning ritual of making Zora come on his tongue.

“Guess we’ll have to postpone this for later,” she quipped as she hopped out of bed, that sweet ass of hers bare and tempting as she strode to the bathroom. He almost followed because sharing a shower was something he’d discovered he enjoyed. But if he did, they’d for sure be late. He made do instead with a washcloth provided by Tower.

When Zora emerged, teeth brushed, face washed, and body dressed, his gaze lingered on her chest area. Her snug T-shirt hugged the breasts he loved to fondle and touch. He could so easily imagine them bouncing, the motion hypnotic when she rode him, the dark berries of her nipples a drooling temptation.

“You might want to stop having dirty thoughts,” she murmured as they skipped down the stairs. “You’re tenting.”

“Stop looking so delicious then.”

Her lips quirked. “Yummy enough to eat.”

“Tease,” he hissed, which led to her laughing, the husky sound crazy sexy.

“You are good for my ego,” she stated. “I don’t think I’ve ever had a guy pretend to be so hot for me.”

“I think you should know by now I am not pretending. You are sexy as hell. I want nothing more than to say fuck the meeting so I can press you up against a wall and fuck you.”

She stumbled and almost missed a step. He snared her arm and reeled her against him, leading to her peering at him with parted lips. “You’re serious.”

“Fucking right, I am. You are so my type, Beauty. Curvy. Passionate. Smart. And with a tongue that should come with a warning label.”

She opened her mouth, most likely to refute or utter something sarcastic, but rather than listen, he kissed her. She immediately softened against him, their embrace still just as passionate as the first time. It only served to confirm something Capricorn had yet to say aloud. The fact he might have finally met his match.

“Get a room,” quipped Cancer as he bounded past them, providing the cold shower they both needed.

Zora shook her head. “Dammit, baby. I’m going to need to put a three-foot rule in effect around you.”

“Why, Beauty, did you just call me irresistible?”

“You’re more deadly than chocolate. Now, hands and lips to yourself, or we’ll never make it to this meeting.”

She had a point. He, the usually responsible warrior, almost said to hell with it.

But he was curious about what Aries wanted. Breakfast meetings involving all the tower warriors and their partners were rare. So rare he only recalled one, which happened after Leo thought he’d lost his wife and daughter to a monster. Aries had wanted them to discuss how they could support their fellow warrior during his time of grief.

The cafeteria bustled with noise as they arrived with more people present than he’d have expected. Apart from the usuals, it appeared some warriors currently living outside the tower had shown up.

Pisces sat with his partner, Mike, a werewolf who actually managed to keep his affliction under control. A good thing, since usually Lycanthropes were exterminated. As a matter of fact, Pisce’s meet-cute with his partner happened because he’d been dispatched to hunt down the werewolf terrorizing a countryside village in the UK, only to find out Mike wasn’t responsible.

Talking to Cancer was Pisces, who’d been out of the tower on a mission. Virgo was doing his best to charm Sage under Aries’scowling gaze. As for the Gemini twins, they kept to themselves, preferring their own company.
