when you know I’m right.” Destiny slung the blanket full of gear over her shoulder, raised a questioning brow at Trinity—who held up the blaster she’d been using when I took out the entry door—and stepped up beside me. “Let’s go, Leonardo.”
“It’s Leoron.”
My mate sighed and tucked her weapon into the pocket of her strange pants. They, along with her shirt, fit snugly to her lean frame. They did nothing to hide her figure, the curves I would soon have my hands on. “Let’s go. I can’t take much more.”
We carefully climbed through the twisted metal of the destroyed entry door. I had no idea if there were other guests on this floor, but I had to assume they’d fled after the explosion.
In the hallway, Faith gasped, turning to my mate. “What about Cassander? Did you, you know?”
The consort. Fuck. While it was his job, I couldn’t think about that rich bastard touching Trinity’s skin. Kissing her. Licking her sweet pussy. Filling her—
“No.” She sighed. “But, he’s… dead.”
I nearly shuddered with relief. Not at his being dead, but at him not touching my mate. I clenched my fists at my sides. Perhaps it was good he was no longer alive, for I’d have killed him myself if he’d laid a finger on her. Consort or not. It was completely irrational. I hadn’t known of Trinity’s existence hours ago. Now, the thought of another male touching her made my blood boil. But, it also meant that Trinity was the one with Aleran Ardor. Who needed to have her pussy filled, to be soothed with orgasm after orgasm.
Goddess, she would not need a consort. Her mate was here, available and had an eager cock. She would not go unsatisfied. Ever.
“Oh, shit. Now what are we going to do about your little problem?” Destiny asked.
“It’s fine.” Trinity waved a hand through the air as if it were nothing. Either she was minimizing her condition or ‘it’s fine’ meant something different on Earth. Ardor was not a joke, taken seriously by everyone on Alera. Clearly, these females didn’t know what Trinity would be in for if she didn’t get it under control.
“I wasn’t going to sleep with him anyway. It was too weird.” She scrunched up her nose as if something smelled bad. “I told him—”
“What? Told him what?” Faith asked. All three of us waited for Trinity’s answer, but me most of all. Did she have a male back on Earth? Was she already mated to someone I could not seek out and kill with my bare hands?
Was she hurting? Needed my cock filling her? My mouth on her skin?
I was shaking now, struggling to breathe as the sweet scent of her drifted to me once more. Aleran flowers. Sweet. Ripe. Mine.
She looked years too old to be suffering from the Ardor. Most females on Alera were well past that stage around their twentieth year. My mate looked at least five years older than that. A woman. Mature. Sexy. Stunning.
Trinity shook her head. “It doesn’t matter. I’m fine. I’ll be fine,” she insisted again in a tone of voice that implied she didn’t want to be argued with, although I could see because of her tight blue pants that she rubbed her thighs together. No, she ached, her pussy throbbing with the Ardor heat, but was being brave. My sweet mate. “Anyway, he’s dead.”
“We’re screwed,” Destiny added, frowning.
“In more ways than one,” Faith said, glaring at me. “I told you not to kill him. We needed him alive so we could interrogate him and know why we’re being targeted.”
I blinked. What? These three were interrogation experts?
“The assassin? Absolutely not. He was going to murder you,” I bit out. I had no intention of telling them that I knew the assassin who had escaped. Knew the price he demanded could be paid by very few. Until I knew who these three were, I wasn’t going to share. I needed something to exchange with them. Information they wanted for what I wanted. I glanced at Trinity. “All of you.”
Destiny actually snorted. “As if. I totally had that guy.”
“And the one in the hallway?” I pointed in that direction. “The one who escaped? Did you have him as well? Or would he have killed your sisters while you played soldier?” I’d saved Destiny’s life, eliminated the threat to her, as any honorable male would do, and she was chastising me as if I were a child? No.
“Touché.”
She grinned up at me as Trinity watched the byplay with a completely unreadable expression. Was she overcome by her Ardor? Overwhelmed by what had just happened? Afraid?
I would reassure her, set her mind at ease. Make her worry for nothing, not even her orgasms. I couldn’t wait to make her melt. Burn. Scream my name.
I had no idea what Destiny’s response meant, this word, touché, nor did I care. She was cooperating. That was all I needed at the moment.
“Come with me,” I told them, finally getting all of us away from danger. My cock was a terrible leader. I had to get my head back in control, at least for the moment. I didn’t know what threats were outside this floor, this building. Even down the street. “Keep your heads down. Don’t look up. There are vid stations everywhere.” I led them farther down the hall. Thankfully, Trinity stepped into place directly behind me, close, where I needed her to be. Destiny brought up the rear, her weapon at the ready, and I was surprised to realize I was reassured with her in that position. She was a warrior and my mate trusted her. A strange female, but a capable fighter. I would take all the help I could get. Anything to get my mate far from here. Safe.
And naked. Very, very naked.
