Chapter 21 Navi

Switch on. I drop the shield and take the copilot's seat Ranger motions to. I don't know what the protocols are or how military functions, but I know I can count on the Titans to help me—help us—learn. Eliana, Aeri, Jeela, and Shavih are already strapped in behind me.

"Once we're up to speed, we'll be able to get up and move around again," Ranger says. "You know, if you want to do anything else. Tangle and I will remain posted here."

The Titans buckle in and signal that they are ready.

RangerLocal: Launch in Three— Two—

Craze takes my hand as the stars blur to streaks. I grip his fingers until our momentum eases and my heart stops racing, but he doesn't let go.

He unbuckles me and carts me out of the cockpit in front of everyone.

"Captain's quarters are to your left," Ranger calls out like it's no big deal. I hear someone snicker paired with Aeri's soprano laugh.

"Tangle—" she coos.

"Keeping you with me while I'm on duty," he replies.

Craze gives me a goofy smile as he carries me into an adjacent room. "No net this time. I want you to switch off and relax for a change."

I like the idea of silence and leave my splay off.

The door swishes shut behind us and Craze sets me down. His hands roam my body as he unclips the buckles of my weapons harness with his teeth, then unzips my suit the same way, slowly opening me up to him. His warm fingers caress my chest, my sides and guide my suit down over my hips.

Then he strips out of his harness, shirt, and cargo pants in a matter of seconds, collects me with a wild delight in his eyes and lays me back on the bed.

The prompt way he moves my body around is mildly disorienting and evokes a strangled yelp I'm sure the others can hear. But as I take in the sight of him, fully bared and muscled and free , I don't give a damn if anyone watches the whole thing.

Craze kisses me then gently rakes his teeth down my throat to my chest. He swirls them over my nipples where he nibbles and suckles each bud until I'm tender and squirming, craving to feel him inside of me.

He laces his arms around my hips and pulls my pussy up to his face. His hot breath over my delicate flesh evokes a scintillating need and makes me tighten in anticipation. Craze's tongue finds my opening and slips inside, pushing deeper, spreading heat into me.

My thoughts fragment, leaving me with only the awareness of the firm heat of him plunging into me, licking up my folds, and nipping at my clit, over and over until I am rising too fast and too hot.

"Craze, I want you."

"You will get me. But not now." He sinks two fingers into me, probing as he nibbles my inner thighs. He adds a third finger and slides his thumb back and forth over my nub until my heart is struggling to keep up with my building ecstasy.

Craze settles his tongue over my clit as his fingers move inside of me, the he swipes his tongue back and forth, moving faster until it is a wickedly effective thrill that thrusts me into oblivion. He hums a note like he's tasted something delicious.

I grip his fingers hard as a scintillating euphoria sets in. My body arches, searching for more, trying to feel him penetrate me deeper. But before I can fully climax, he withdraws, climbs over me, and feeds his engorged cock into my soaked pussy. Instead of the high tipping over and softening, it rises again. I bask in exhilarating climb as his throbbing contours drive into me.

Craze grins. "That's it. Now let's rub it in their scaly faces, yeah?"

I bite a lip as I linger in a soft spasm that makes his shaft flex inside of me. Our bonding slicks even more.

"Hell yes," I breathe.

He picks me up and carries me to the desk, mad fucking me until I'm a frantic mess of lecherous need and trying to steady myself.

Objects rattle around us as he penetrates me harder and deeper. My breasts bounce in the frantic movements of our bodies.

Then he carries me to the wall, crushes me with his rigid frame, and grinds into me. A touch of pain from his powerful thrusts heightens my pleasure until I am nearly succumb to the peaks of heaven.

I struggle to support myself when we move to the lounge, and he lays me back on a one armed sofa. My pussy tenses as ferocious and sizzling bliss floods my body. "Craze—"

He collects me again, turns me over, sets my hands o the sofa's backrest, and clamps them there with his own. His hips pound mine with every fervent thrust. "That's it."

My high doesn't fall like expect. It rises a little more until my body sparks everywhere and my mind is filled with light.

I clench around him and savor the hot nanocum he pumps into me.

I have never felt so good for so long. And even as the pleasure winds down, he isn't ready to let me forget it.

Craze picks me up, spins me to face him, inserts his steely girth again. Then he sits on the sofa and gently rocks our hips together, easing me down.

He pants heavily as he rests his forehead to mine. "I don't want anyone else, and please don't ever make me turn away from you again. I know it was for a good reason, but please. Stay with me. Be my mate forever."

I kiss his gray lips and catch a hint of my musk still on his breath. He might bash through a room filled with combatants and not bat an eye, but my Titan still has a tender side.

NaviCraze: Promise.

He smiles and draws me against him.

CrazeNavi: I have never felt so protected, wanted, or needed, and definitely not so sexy with all my scars and broken parts.

I run a hand through his soft hair and then bury my face in the nook of his strong neck. "You just hadn't found me yet."
