Once I turned off the weapon, I offered her the bottle.“Your dinner.”
She tried to shove it back to me.“You go first.You worked a lot harder.”
“No!”Every instinct I had demanded I provide for my mate.“You will eat first.”
Jones took the bottle and tipped a portion of the improvised stew into her mouth.Her eyes widened as she chewed and swallowed.“It’s so good!”
Pleasure eased the tension of my muscles as I watched her devour the entire meal.

Once we had all eaten, I cleared the last of the small stones from the center of the cavern’s floor.It would not be the most comfortable of beds, but we were both too fatigued for such to prove much of a problem.
The coolness of the air became apparent now that I no longer labored.I shrugged back into my uniform jacket, my shoulder protesting the movement.Varool healed quickly as a rule, yet so much heavy lifting immediately following the injury had delayed matters.I would need to drop into a healing fugue as I slept so I could clear the remainder of the rock fall tomorrow.
Jones watched me with careful eyes, her small frame beginning to shiver.
I lay down and patted the earth beside me.“Come.We will keep each other warm.”
She curled her back into my front, and the animal settled at her side.
The sweet scent of her surrounded me, and my secondary heart raced, filling my cock until I thought I would go mad with it.
I ground my teeth together.Remember, she is human.
My body did not care that her people were adversaries—it wanted only its mate.
