She made a choked sound, caught on the edge of release. His voice in the darkness was so smooth, so deep, so commanding.

“Your pleasure belongs to me, Dakota. Come now, baby.”

She cried out, sensation a deluge that pushed her over the edge. He shoved his fingers deep, and her orgasm was a blissful tide running through her.

Faint aftershocks were still rocking her when he pushed her down onto the bed on her hands and knees.

“Get that ass up, Dakota.” He nudged her thighs apart.

She felt the head of his hard cock brush against her. “Do it, Dare. Please!”

One hard, merciless thrust and he was inside her. She moaned at the domination. She’d never let any man this close, never let anyone compel her surrender. She’d never, never thought she’d enjoy it.

He thrust into her, deep, hard, and absolute. His hand sank into her hair, and with each stroke, she felt him touch the sensitive skin of her ass.

It didn’t take long, and she was at the edge again, trembling there. “Yes, Dare. Oh!” Everything inside her tightened, and then shattered apart.

Dare gripped her hips and slammed home one last time. He groaned as he poured himself inside her.

Dakota collapsed forward on the bed. Her heart was still racing, small tremors still rocking her body. He covered her, pressing kisses to her shoulder blades. He slipped the blindfold off her.

“I’m going to feed you next,” he murmured.

“Can’t talk yet.”

His laugh was deep and low. Another lazy kiss on her shoulder. “Dakota Jones with nothing to say. A miracle.”

She swatted a hand at him, but it was half-hearted and he grabbed it, bringing it to his lips. She turned a little, looking at his face as he peppered her knuckles with kisses.

She heard those inner warning bells again. How was she supposed to protect herself against Dare when he was already inside her defenses?

He raised a brow. “You have that look again.”

“What look?”

“The thinking-too-hard look.” He pushed her hand back to the bed and this time, pressed his lips to her back, going lower, peppering kisses along her spine.

“Guess you want some punishment again.”

Her heart leaped into her throat, her hands twisting in the sheets as he slid lower.

Yes, she wanted it. She wanted him. She wanted everything.

Dakota sat in Dare’s office, idly spinning his desk chair around. She had the star map projected up, several Syncs scattered across the desk—all filled with information—and Dare’s comp screen was filled as well.

She was seriously impressed with the data the Phoenixes had collected on their travels. They might just have the best information on all the planets and convoy routes in this part of uncharted space.

What she couldn’t find was any reference to a planet at the location they were currently traveling to.

She’d been sure she’d find something. Some mention of a world.

She leaned forward, resting her elbows on the desk. It made her sensitive ass tingle a little. Instantly, she was deluged with memories of the day she’d spent with Dare. The things they’d done.

She’d never, ever done some of those things with a man before.

The door swooshed open, and like she’d summoned him, he walked in. He strode straight over, his big hands sliding into her hair, then he kissed her.

Stars. Her mind went blank and she kissed him back. When he released her, she blinked, taking a few seconds to get her brain firing.
