“I can stay and annoy you for a bit longer if you like,” Eden said with a grin.

“You’re good. I’ve had enough company.” Georgia was already thinking about being alone with Ash.

“Suit yourself.” Eden stood. “Go have fun with your gorgeous alien.”

After some more needless teasing, they all left.

Georgia hurried to the bathroom, freshened up, made sure the banty had food to keep them busy, and then hurried to Ash’s room.

Her heart was already beating fast and loud as she pressed the button outside his door. It opened a few seconds later.

The smile on his face made her toes curl. “Hey! You wanted to talk tactics?”

“I like it. Straight down to business.” He gestured her inside. “How are you feeling?”

“Ready to roll. What have we got?”

“I’ve got you this.” Ash wrapped his arms around Georgia, pulled her close, and lifted her off her feet.

“There’s no rush.” Ashran a hand down Georgia’s back as she tugged at his clothes.

“I want you. I’ve been going crazy on my own.”

“And you’ll have me. But I want to take my time with you.”

“I want you inside me now.”

His cock throbbed, but he resisted the urge to throw Georgia to the floor and take her right there. He pressed kisses up the side of her neck.

She groaned. “You’re killing me.”

“No, I’m taking it slowly. You’re just getting over almost dying. We can’t go too hard and fast.”

“We can. I’m healed.”

He slowed from his exploration of her soft skin. “No more tingling in your arm?”

She huffed out a breath. “Barely any.”

“Which means some.”

“I’m great. Now, where were we?”

“Giving you an amazing time.”

Georgia stepped back, kicked off her boots, and shimmied out of her clothes.

His brain scrambled, and his vision blurred at the sight of so much delicious, soft skin.

He was reaching for her, a growl on his lips, when he stopped. “You’re doing this so I lose control?”

She tilted her head, a wicked smile on her lips. “It’s working, isn’t it?”

Ash stalked toward her. Instead of pulling her against him, he stood behind her, wrapped an arm around the curve of her waist, and closed his eyes. He inhaled her soapy scent and a hint of some sweet spice.

“What are you doing?” she whispered.
