She stiffened. Blew out a breath.

Lans’s jawline. She’d focus there.

Her fingers moved down. Scraped against the sharp edges. She half-expected his jaw to cut her.

It didn’t.

Her hands slid to his shoulders.

Rock. Muscles.

So hard.

My goodness. What was this Plutonian made of?

His chest boasted abs that were so solid that trying to punch them would result in a broken wrist.

Every part of him.

And what was happening in his pants wasn’t her only evidence.

She’d peeked once.

Just once.

And she’d nearly run the other way.

But she wasn’t running anymore.

But now the truth was out.

And Lans felt the same way.

It was only a matter of time before he…

Heat blazed in her core.

What would it be like to mate with him?
