StarSet (The Warrior Prince's Claim - BBW Science Fiction Romance) (10 page)

“You're not happy.”

It was a statement of fact, not a question.

And the prince's eyes burned her skin with the intensity of it. He'd sought her in her own quarters, seeming concerned that she might defy the captain's orders. That she might not come and join him at his side.

“It's not... that.”

Shala averted her gaze to the visi-panels, not altogether ready to have the conversation he'd come to have. There was so much to make sense of, and her mind had made it quite clear that she wasn't at all up to it.

Lifting her eyes to him after a stretching minute, she sighed. His own gaze had softened, and it made his affection all the more clear. She was no mere conquest. He was already invested quite deeply in her. Neither his or her body had lied when they'd lain together.

“What is it then?”

“It's all happening... so fast. And... It's illegal.”

He grinned.

“Is the matter of legality what's truly troubling you?”

“Somewhat, yes.”

Crossing the room to sit on the lounge across from her, Tarik took her hands.

“I'm sure you've noticed that your own captain has turned a blind eye. Surely, he is quite aware of my interest in you.”
“But does he know that I
acted
on
my
interest in you?”

“Does it matter?”

Shala was struck quiet. Her heart had an answer for that:
No. It didn't matter at all.
Even the commendation seemed far less important than it had just two days before. She both loved and hated the fact that she couldn't resist the amused glint in his eyes. Like he knew she'd arrive at a conclusion he himself had already arrived at.

“The royal pod has arrived, Shala. Tell me you are coming. Not because you have been ordered to, but because you want to. Need to as I need you to because you know you are my forever, and I am yours.”

His words laced her, curving around her, permeating her until they settled in her gut.

Staring off into the inky black space beyond the visi-panels, feeling the distinct thrum of destiny calling to her from a future she was
sure
she wasn't imagining now, Shala drew a stilling breath as she felt the prince's fingers interlace her own.

“Yes, Tarik. I will come.”

Also, if you love action and adventure in your Scifi Romance:

I highly recommend Luna Cassini's '
Rogue Prince
,' and Juniper Leigh's '
Alien Alpha
.' I feel honored to share a genre with them. They're beyond good, and I am impatiently waiting for them to release more books. I'm also a reader, and would love to hear your recommendations, so I can read and pass them onto fellow devourers of Scifi and Fantasy. I was totally not paid or asked to make this endorsement. The work is just that good <3
