She gasped at how big he felt and tried to slow down, but Vasek's hands on her hips were like a vise. Every movement only forced her down his hard length, stretching her open.

Vasek’s eyes were closed and his head tilted back. Mouth open and fangs on display, he panted like he was barely in control.

As the pinch of pain transformed into pleasure, she rocked her hips. The motion had her moaning. Then Vasek was lifting, but Dawn only had a moment of reprieve before he was slamming her back down on his cock. She let out a breathy scream.

A snarl escaped Vasek’s lips, and his hips jerked, thrusting into her hard. She fell forward onto his chest, eyes wide at how full she was. She wasn’t sure she could take any more. But before she could recover, Vasek was fucking her, his restraint gone. He pistoned up into her wildly, drawing scream after scream from her lips until there was nothing but blinding pleasure.

Vasek’s eyes were open now, and she found herself lost in the dark depths as the first wave crashed into her, turning her screams into sobs.

“Fuck. You feel so good around me. So fucking tight.”

He continued driving into her, and a vicious snarl filled the tent the moment before he seemed to grow even larger inside her. He shifted and the change had him hitting something inside her that sent shockwaves of delight through her body.Fully consumed by ecstasy, she crested, her body shaking and quivering so hard she wondered if she’d ever survive.

Vasek’s roar joined her scream, his hips jerking, as spurts of hot seed filled her.

Dawn was acutely aware that she’d collapsed on top of him, but when she tried to move, he wrapped his arms around her possessively, keeping her in place. She listened to their hearts beating together as the sounds of nature filled the tent.

Chapter 16

Vasek

Vasek depressed the tab of the canister again, but nothing came out except for a tiny hiss of air. He shoved the canister back into his pack. He’d retraced their steps halfway back to the shuttle. And it seemed the pirates had not lost interest, because Vasek could see two ships hovering above. The question was whether they’d sent any shuttles down, and if they had, where did they land?

If they hadn’t, maybe they’d give up after realizing how precariously perched the shuttle was, and decide to focus on their next victim instead. But Vasek wasn’t willing to bet on it.

And how in Stars’ name was Vasek going to get his ship safely out of its treacherous position?

It was time to call in that favor. He needed a rescue. The plan originally had been to call in the rescue immediately after landing, but he had been pleasantly distracted by one super sexy female.

It was well into the morning by now, and with the olfactinull he’d sprayed below their tent hiding their scent, the stalker hadgone back to its den to sleep off the hottest part of the day. But when it woke up with an empty belly, it would remember and find them again. And by then, the chemical would be starting to fade.

They didn’t have any more of it left since he’d used the final bit to mask their trail away from the shuttle, which was why he needed to call on someone who’d get to them quickly.

Pulling out his comm unit, he went through his contacts looking for the best option. It would need to be someone likely to be around Vosthea, and preferably have the means to rescue his shuttle as well. And it needed to be someone who wouldn’t turn around and steal Dawn from him. He’d promised her he would bring her to Kean’s compound, and he wasn’t going to let a dishonorable thief make him break his promise.

But what if he wanted to break that promise himself? What if he wanted to keep her? What if he’d finally found the one person he was willing to risk it all with?

He could offer her a job on the ship. Technically, she would still get her freedom, but with him. He wasn’t sure she would take it, though, not after what she’d seen of his life these past few days. His life wasn’t always this exciting, but it wasn’t event-free either.

What if he was the one who finally broke this horrible streak of bad luck in his family? This line of thinking was dangerous, and Stars did he know it! But he couldn’t stop the idea from filling his chest with warmth and hope.

Had he lost the gamble already? Was this the mate bond starting?

He’d let her choose whether she wanted to stay with him or at Kean’s compound. He had to be there for the unification celebration anyway.

He selected Berus’s contact. Berus looked like a total brute, but was actually a good and honorable male. He also had a female of his own. The most recent news was that Cami had decided to stay with him, joining the crew of theNew Horizon, formerly known as theRevenge. It would also mean that Vasek might be able to convince the crew to help him get his shuttle out of the trees. TheNew Horizonwould have the capability since the crew sometimes dealt in salvages.

“My friend. How can I help you?” Berus’s voice came from the speaker, scaring a few small creatures that had gotten used to Vasek’s silent presence.

“I’d like to call in a favor.” Vasek started back toward his tent, eager to see Dawn again.

“Of course. I’d never deny a male who’s saved my life. What do you need?”

“I require an immediate evac. I’m in the Vosthean jungles, and I need to get to Kean’s stronghold. There are enemies after us.” He sure hoped that Berus was on the planet, and not in the middle of a mission. There wasn’t anyone else who would be as ideal a candidate.

“You are not alone?”

Vasek couldn’t miss the interest in Berus’s voice. He hesitated. Berus was Dominion once, and despite Vasek’s insistence that he hadn’t wanted a mate because of his job, he wondered if Berus knew the real reason. Surely, Berus had heard about the curse. “N-no. That’s why I called you and not someone else. Iassume you still have a human female, so you will not covet this one.”
