Na’varr moved around them
toward a neon exit sign. “Do you have the coil?”

“Yes sir.”

“Good. Let’s get out of
here.”

Bellamy remained still as a statue,
refusing to move from his spot.

They walked a few feet
away, moving in a tandem pattern where they could watch each
other’s backs. “He’s not moving, Brom.”

“Nope.” There was
definitely a smirk to Brom’s voice.

“Is he going to
move?”

“Not if he ever wants to
survive the night.”

Na’varr made a mental note to ask him
later on what he’d said to the man. Right then, they needed to get
the coil back to the ship.

“Raesa!” Brom’s shout
pierced Na’varr’s ear drums.

Somehow he’d ended up leaning on the
hybrid like he was a drunkard wobbling home. So much for dignity.
He tried really hard not to laugh, but it came through as a garbled
chuckle.

“What the hell happened?”
Raesa. His sweet girl’s arms came around him.

“Help me get him to the
bed. We’ve got the coil.”

Raesa’s shoulder pressed
against his side and her grip on him tightened. He looked up at her
and stroked her cheek with clumsy fingers.”You are so beautiful,
little thief. You stole my heart. Stole Brom’s. We love you. Did
you know that? Loooove.”

“For fuck’s sake, is he
drunk?”

Brom sighed. “Long story.
Someone slipped a little feel good juice in his drink.”

“You were supposed to be
watching his back, not getting wasted.” She was pissed.

“I was.” Brom shot back
with frustration.

“Go easy on him.” Na’varr
teetered unsteadily as they reached the bedroom hatch. “

Raesa froze. “He
what?”

“An android. It was a damn
android. Stop fucking helping, Na’varr.”

Na’varr opened the hatch
and stumbled inside. The first waft of real, honest-to-god coffee
hit him full in the face and he hauled Raesa around to stare at
her. Her blue eyes were wide and round. “I miss your red hair, but
you’d be beautiful no matter what color we chose.”

Her cheeks flushed bright
pink and she glanced over at Brom. “He’s completely
wasted.”

“No,” Na’varr denied. “Just
ready to curl up in bed with you and a cup of coffee.”

“Coffee?’

“Please tell me that’s the
real thing I smell.”

Raesa slipped out of
Na’varr’s hands and frowned at him. A fine line formed between her
brows when she was pissed. Right now, it was a deep crevice. “I had
some delivered while you guys were out playing adventure cowboys in
space and left my ass here.” She glanced over at Brom. “Without
a
note
or
explanation. We have enough to hopefully get us back to the Crimson
Star.”

The hybrid pulled the cloth mask down
and opened his mouth to speak. At Raesa’s glare, he shut his mouth
and a dark flush colored his cheeks.

It was unique to find his second in
command without words and properly chastised.

Na’varr welcomed the cup she offered
and took a tentative sip of the beverage. The java hit his tongue
with rich flavor and intensity. His goddess made coffee strong
enough for a spoon to stand up straight in. And right then, it was
the richest nectar. Time drifted for several blessed
moments.

He was onlyhalf aware of the cup being
taken from his hands and the soft caresses of his woman pulling off
his tunic. Na’varr forced his mind to focus on the conversation
going on.

Brom was apologizing at the
same time he was letting her know their situation. So much more
confident than the nearly broken man he’d taken into his car over a
decade ago. “I love you. Did I ever tell you that?”

Brom stopped mid-sentence
to roll his eyes. He shook his head. “We’ll be in the air in ten
minutes. Get that coffee secured or he’ll be a bear when he wakes
up.”

“On it.”

He heard some more chatter. The warmth
of Raesa tucking up against his body eased his tension. Na’varr
hugged her against him and blinked lazily to find her watching him
with concern. On a groan of remembered pleasure, he grabbed the
back of her head and captured her lips in a lingering kiss, tasting
and sipping from her, delving into her flavor, everything that made
her his. Theirs.

He ended the kiss and Raesa
ran her fingers through the hair at his temple. “What was that
for?”

Na’varr sighed. “It’s been
a very, very long day. I have missed you.”

Her shy smile unraveled another knot
around his heart.

This was the perfect
counter to a spectacularly annoying day. The rev of their engines
soothed him further. They were back on their way to the skies,
where he and the two loves of his life belonged. Raesa was the glue
that held them together, the captain and his brother in arms. “You
made me coffee,” he murmured.

Her fingers toyed with his
hair more. “Of course I did.”

He chuckled. “So
domestic.”

She tugged his locks. “You
are in so much trouble when you sober up.”

Na’varr kissed her again and rolled
her beneath him, fitting his cock against her sweet spot. He was
looking forward to it.

USA Today bestselling author Dawn
Montgomery loves to write almost as much as she loves to read. She
has traveled the world twice over. While her days were filled with
long hours and hard work, her nights were left for dark, lustful
fantasies in and out of strange hotels and cities.

Alaska and Texas are the places she
calls home. She recently moved from the frigid North to Texas with
her family and neurotic dog. It was tragic to leave behind the
moose and bear for wide open plains and sexy cowboys.
