This wild spectacle had thrown her hormones into turmoil. She feared staying here. Feared what she might do.
“Whatever you wish, laiya.”
He drew her to her feet. As he led her to the door, she realized there were several other alcoves with naked or partially clad people enjoying each other’s bodies. She held her neck rigid and her gaze straight ahead until they reached the corridor and the door closed behind them.
She followed the commander back to the cabin. Once inside, she realized she still clutched his hand and immediately released it. The severed contact jarred her senses, and she sucked in a deep breath, trying to recapture her composure. With wild hormones flying through her body, augmented by the heat of the man so close, she wasn’t very successful.
“Let me show you the rest of the quarters.” He rested his hand lightly on her elbow, setting her senses tingling again, and urged her forward.
He led her toward another door. It slid open, and her breathing stopped as she stared at a large bed dominating the room.
“This is my bedroom.”
She stiffened, afraid he’d push her onto the bed and have his way with her. And even more afraid she’d let him. Her pussy twitched at the thought of his cock brushing against her, then driving into her hot flesh.
He leaned in close, his breath tickling her ear.
“I could take you to your room now…or we could stay here.”
Chapter Five
With the heat of his body only inches from hers, her body thrummed like a high voltage wire. She’d love nothing better than to strip off her clothes and lie back on that bed so he could plunge deep inside her.
But fear pulsed through her at the thought.
“My room.” The words tumbled from her mouth.
He led her past the bed to another door. It opened to reveal a second bedroom. She stepped inside and glanced around. The only door was the one that led back to his bedroom. That meant she had to go through his room to get in or out.
As she stepped farther into the room, she noticed a paper-thin screen hanging on the wall across from the bed. Commander Raa-ling stepped to a small control box on the wall to the right of the screen and pressed a button. The sounds of sex filled the room, and on the screen were naked bodies moving together.
She glanced sharply at him.
“Let me show you the controls,” he suggested.
She stepped beside him, agitated by the wails and cries accompanying the video display and anxious to get the thing shut down.
“Push this button to select another display location,” he explained.
Above the button, a display indicated “Red Room—A4”. She pushed the button and it switched to “Red Room—A5”. She didn’t glance at the screen, but from the sounds she could tell similar activities were taking place. She pressed the button again. “Q36—B1”. Still the same kind of sounds.
“You can also see my bedroom, Q55 dash B1, the shower, Q55 dash S, and the living area, Q55 dash L. You can key in exactly what you want right here.”
He pushed a button, revealing a small keyboard.
“How do you turn it off?” she demanded.
“You can’t. I want it as a constant reminder of what you and I should be doing. I am your soul-mate. Once we make love, you won’t be able to deny it any longer.”
Hot blood pounded through her body, threatening a core meltdown. Shakily, she drew her hand from the control panel.
He stepped closer and curled his hands over her shoulders from behind, his breath brushing the back of her neck. His lips brushed her ear. She sucked in a breath at the sensual onslaught of his touch.
“Eva, I know you’re intensely turned on. The effect of being near your tanash’ae acts like a powerful aphrodisiac. Why don’t you give in to the feeling?”
She was sorely tempted to lean back against him, to draw his hands around her and press them against her breasts.
But she steeled herself against the traitorous demands of her body.
