Blurb:
Just lovers. That was the unspoken agreement between them but what they shared wasn’t enough for him anymore. Commander Jaxon Brom wages a war for the heart of the woman he loves. It may prove to be his toughest battle ever but one he doesn’t plan to lose.
Cellimina Manx is a guard for the royal Queen of Zephyl. Her heart belongs to one man but her past keeps her from reaching for what she wants. When a sudden attack throws her closer to her lover, Cellie must decide if risking it all is worth it.
Once Cellie and Jax put the fear behind them, they’ll discover a love like no other.
Excerpt
Someone cornered the Queen half way down the hall, stopping the whole entourage from continuing. Cellie caught his eye the moment he approached. The other palace guards familiar with him stepped aside. Jax continued on, walking around the small gathering and taking the first hall on his left. He didn’t have long to wait.
“Commander Brom.”
Jax grabbed her lush form as soon as the seductive whisper reached his ear. “Cellie.”
She dug her hands into his hair and yanked his face close. He took the hint and kissed the full lips turned up toward him. Her mouth parted on a moan and Jax tightened his hold around her waist, pulling her body flush to his.
“I don’t have long,” she mumbled in between kisses.
Jax spun them, caging her against the wall, and nipped her bottom lip. His hands couldn’t stop moving over her, squeezing when he reached her waist. “Tonight.”
“It has to be late. Cordie hasn’t finished packing.”
Jax closed his eyes on a groan. The Queen had a reputation for being notoriously late any time she had to leave planet side. “I need you, Cellie.”
Her hands clawed at his scalp, the bursts of pain threatening to make him bust the flap on his formal uniform pants. “I need you too.”
His tongue thrust between her lips, caressed hers, and she sucked the tip. Pleasure exploded. Kissing Cellie was akin to manning his battle cruiser during mock fire fights. Every touch of her mouth sent flashes up his spine and zings down his shaft. He rocked against her slowly, his hips cradling hers as he found a rhythm that left her moaning.
Stars! The sound increased his need and Jax fought the urge to take her here and now. Not something she would like, and he’d probably receive the biggest reprimand ever in his file if caught. He leaned back, ensnared by the sight of her moist lips, puffy from his attention. Her glazed brown eyes stared back.
“Jax,” she whispered, fingers feathering over his neck.
He shivered and kissed her again unable to resist. She tasted like a dream. Sweet and full of temptation. His hands lowered and cupped her ass in his palms. Without breaking the kiss, Jax lifted her, improving the angle as he nestled perfectly between her firm thighs. He sucked on her bottom lip, nipping gently and licking along the seam.
Cellie whimpered, hips canting beneath the onslaught. Jax’s swollen length throbbed and the desire to consume every bit of her sweet taste overwhelmed him.
Two fingers tapped his shoulder. Panic crashed into him and Jax kissed a path across her cheek and down her arched neck. He didn’t want to let her go. Another tap and he forced himself to ease his hold. His lips reluctantly left hers.
“I have to go,” she murmured, against his neck.
“Hurry, Cellie. Tonight.” Jax eased her down to her feet.
She reached down and stroked his thick erection, giving it a final squeeze before smirking and darting around the corner. Jax leaned his head back against the wall, hoping the hall would be clear when he left. Otherwise his tented pants would be on full display as he hobbled back to his room.
