administrator-cum-miner didn’t allow for much practice. Still, he was impressed not only with Amy and Gaz’s understanding of the ship’s systems, but also with the ease with which they moved.
Amy tried to keep her distance at first and Sean wasn’t about to force her into spending any more time with him than he already had, but it seemed Gaz was working against them both.

“I need to go check the readings inside. Make sure the coolant balances are back to normal.” He pointed a finger at Sean. “Behave while I’m gone.”
Sean saluted. “Yes, boss.”
Amy snorted softly, but didn’t say anything else. She clearly didn’t think much for her friend’s protective streak. They continued to work together, yet apart, until one of the capacitor lines popped off, sending a hiss of gas flying toward them. Sean jumped forward, clamping his hand over the leak, the freezing vapor cracking the protective rubber of his gloves.
“Shit! Hang on, Sean.”
“Hurry up. It’s starting to eat through.”
Crammed into the small space of the panel, Amy’s body pressed hard against him as she worked to clamp down the line, slowing the hiss until it finally self-sealed. The gas had Sean coughing and Amy pulled him out of the way.
“Are you okay?” She ran her hand over his arms, down to his hands so she could yank his gloves off. “Did it eat through?”
“No, no, I’m fine.”
“Let me see.”
“Amy, I’m fine.”
They both froze—her holding his hands, him with his knee pressed against the outside of her thigh. The contact was innocent, hardly worth a thought. But he watched as Amy trembled softly, her dark skin prickled with goose bumps. The potent scent of citrus washed over him, dragging a moan from deep within. His cock stiffened and he swayed toward her, needing to get closer.
“Sean, I’m…”
The muscles of her throat rippled as she swallowed. He didn’t think, and leaned in to press his nose against her neck. He didn’t kiss her, simply inhaled her sweetness, memorizing every nuance. He recognized the pheromones now, knew what they would do to him. While he couldn’t stop his reactions, he wasn’t sure he even wanted to despite the consequences. Knowing he could walk away meant something, gave him a tight grasp on the situation.
He had control.
“You smell fucking amazing.” He spoke the words softly, letting his lips caress her skin. “You make me forget everything else. All my pain.”
“Are you in pain?”
Somehow he knew she didn’t mean his hands. “Yes.”
It was the simple truth, one he hadn’t been able to admit, even to himself, until this moment. Amy carded her fingers though his hair, the tips digging pleasantly into his scalp, while her other hand pulled him closer. Their bodies pressed together—chests, hips and thighs. The contact had Sean’s cock impossibly stiffening more, wanting to get closer to Amy. Under normal circumstances he’d either step away before she noticed or 54
press on for a quick seduction.
Not with her. Despite the fear of rejection, that she’d push him away, he didn’t want to hide his desires. Prayed he didn’t need to. Nor did he feel the urge to pursue them, move them beyond where they were right now. Reaching up, he felt for the stiffened nipple of her left breast and captured it in his fingers. Amy moaned soft and low as he rolled it, squeezing in short, sharp bursts as he thrust his cock against her hip.
It wasn’t enough. Dropping his hand, he shifted until he could press his fingers against her cloth-covered clit. Amy bucked into his touch until he could feel the heat and moisture of her pussy through the material.
Nipping gently at her neck, he moved his hand away and pulled back so he could see the lust-filled look in her eyes. The loss of touch would have made him scream with frustration normally, but there was something about Amy that made him want to tease things out longer.
“I want you,” he
