Chapter Thirteen
“Damn, I think I’m in love.”
Tane’s low murmur had Ranvir seeing red. Grabbing the younger cyborg by his neck, Ranvir pulled him out of his chair and threw him across the room. Tane hit the security room door, denting it before he slid to the floor, a stunned look on his face. As Ranvir advanced, meaning to beat the crap out of the little shit, Ganesha and Pike grabbed his arms and pulled him away.
“She’s mine!” Ranvir roared, struggling against the hands holding him.
“What?!” Tane gave him a confused look. He replayed what he’d said in his mind and paled. “I wasn’t serious, Major! Taly’s great, but she’s not for me.”
“No, she’s not!” Ranvir continued to struggle. “She’s mine!”
“Anything you say, Major.” Tane raised his hands in surrender.
“You need to go cool off, Major.” Ganesha and Tane muscled him to the doors of the bridge and shoved him through it. Before it closed, Ganesha told him. “Go see your cymar and get it out of your system.”
“What’s a cymar?” Tane asked, rising from the floor.

Ranvir’s cybernetic brain flashed multiple warnings that he wasn’t acting rationally, but he overrode them because his human brain kept replaying Tane’s words on a continuous loop. Taly was his and only his, and he would make sure everyone knew it, especially Taly. Moving down the corridor with cybernetic speed, he burst into her suite.
Taly strode from her bedroom wearing a loose flowing yukata that revealed a great deal of leg and cleavage. “Ranvir, is something wrong?”
He didn’t answer, storming across the room. Her eyes widened before he swept her into his arms and carried her back the way she’d come.
“Ranvir!”
“You’re mine!” he growled, tossing her onto the bed. He followed her down, her soft, lush body conforming to his harder one. Sinking a hand in her silky curls, he leaned down and claimed her lips in a hard, hungry kiss.
Taly wasn’t sure what had happened between her leaving the bridge and Ranvir arriving in her suite, but whatever it was, she wasn’t going to complain. She’d been thinking about this ever since their first kiss.
Ranvir knew Taly deserved better than this. She deserved to be treated like the treasure she was, but he was losing control. Ripping his mouth away from hers, he tried to regain it only to have it shredded further when she whispered, “More, Ranvir. I want more.”
He gripped the top of her yukata with one hand and ripped it open, exposing her naked beauty to his hungry gaze for the first time. Gods, she was gorgeous.
“Now you,” she demanded, pulling at the hem of his shirt.
In an instant, he was up, his clothes disappearing. Then he was back, wedging his hips between her thighs. The position opened her entirely to him and let his hard throbbing cock settle over her clit. Bracing himself on his elbows, he flexed his hips against hers, coating his cock with her slickness again and again.
“Gods, Ranvir, that feels so good! Don’t stop!” She rocked her hips against him, creating even more friction on her clit.
Her breathless words ended his control. Pulling back, he notched the head of his cock at her opening and thrust, filling her with one hard stroke.
“Shit!” Her tiny gasp did what all his cybernetic enhancements could not. It froze him in place.
“Taly?” He searched her face taking in her tightly closed eyes and pinched mouth. Gods, how could he have done that to her? She was so much smaller and more delicate than him. For him to forget was unforgivable.
“Just… just give me a minute,” she panted.
Ranvir would give her anything she asked. Slowly, she relaxed, and her crystal blue eyes opened, staring into his. He saw the same need, desire, and passion he felt for her in them. Still, he remained absolutely still.
Until she wrapped her legs around his waist and pulled him even deeper, incinerating his immobility. Keeping his eyes locked with hers, watching for any sign of discomfort, he began to thrust into her hot, slick depths with a forceful rhythm.
Her groan of pleasure told him everything he needed to know. “More. Harder.”
Her encouragement was all it took for him to release the last shred of control he held. Interlacing his fingers through hers, he stretched her arms over her head, withdrew almost entirely, and surged back into her hot depths, giving her what she demanded, what he’d wanted since he’d first met her.
“Oh, Gods!” She couldn’t stop her legs from tightening around him, her hips from gyrating, trying to keep him rightthere. It had been so long since she’d done this, and it hadn’t been anywhere near this amazing. She knew she wouldn’t last long, not how Ranvir was hitting her clit.
