from her. Steel glared at the cyborg woman, his other hand opened on Rena’s stomach as
he nudged her back and then stepped in front of her.
“Never touch what is mine. Is that clear?”
“It’s perfectly clear.” Fiona was the one who answered, sounding indignant. “You’re
possessive of her and you aren’t going to go for a walk with me, are you?”
“I appreciate your offer but the answer is no at this time.”
“You’re having intercourse with her?” Fiona looked a little stunned. “That’s it, isn’t
it? You’ve let it into your bed?”
A muscle in Steel’s jaw jumped. “Get your people ready to leave the surface as soon
as possible and we’ll start shuttling them to your ship as soon as they are ready. I’ll leave
Blackie in charge of coordinating with you until the last of your people are safely
transferred.”
Fiona shook her head. “It’s a sad day when our kind prefers one of
them
over his
own people, considering our history with those murderers.”
Steel grabbed Rena’s arm, jerked her around and stormed away, leaving her to run
beside him to keep up. His grip wasn’t painful but he had a firm hold of her as he moved
quickly through the weird-looking trees back to the shuttle they’d taken to the surface.
She was out of breath and panting when Steel half dragged her up the ramp. Inside the
shuttle he released her, giving her a gentle push into the nearest seat by the back doors.
He walked toward the front without looking at her once.
“Take us back to the
Vontage
,” he ordered the pilot.
In minutes the shuttle left the surface and Rena was left to stare up at the cockpit area
where Steel took a seat in the copilot seat. He refused to look back at her and she refused
to meet the eyes of the other three cyborg males in the back of the shuttle with her but she
sensed them watching her. It seemed to take forever until they docked with the larger
ship. Steel stood up and walked past her.
“Let’s go.”
She had to jog after him, with his damn long legs, until they came to one of the lifts
to take them to the floor where Steel’s quarters were. There was another cyborg in the lift
with them who openly leered at Rena’s body the entire four floor levels they traveled.
When the doors slid open Steel strode out leaving Rena to chase after him.
At Steel’s door he slammed his palm against the scanner to open his room and then
just moved out of the way. “Get inside now.”

She walked in and turned, frowning as Steel stepped into the room after her, the door
closing as soon as his large frame cleared it. Steel was very angry. His lips formed a tight
line and his eyes were cold as she gazed into them.
“Why are you mad at me?”
He stepped around her and walked to the center of the room before he turned. One of
his hands lifted to run his fingers through his shoulder-length silver hair, clearly
frustrated as he locked gazes with her. His hand dropped where he fisted both at his sides.
“This isn’t going to work.”
Rena’s heart skipped a beat, afraid he was going to give her away to another cyborg
again. He’d told her that he was going to keep her safe but would he change his mind?
She bit her lip and then sighed loudly.
“You care what that Fiona thinks? She’s a bitch, Steel. You’re damn lucky to not be
in the woods with her.”
A silver eyebrow arched but his fists unclenched at his sides. “How do you figure
that, logically? She is a strong woman who took charge of her people and has kept them
all alive on a harsh planet for over twenty-five years. She’s attractive, healthy, strong, and
an ideal female to enter into a family unit with since she has no other males she is
contracted to as of yet.”
Rena walked to the bed and sat down on the edge of it, watching as Steel turned to
face her. She hesitated and then took a deep breath. “Is that all you’re looking for in a
woman? That she’s healthy and strong with killer survival skills? What about emotions?”
“Irrelevant.”
“But…” Her mouth slammed closed. She just stared at him for a good minute, trying
to collect her thoughts. “Don’t you want to be happy? Don’t you want to be with a
woman who…I don’t know, feels something for you and you feel something for her?”
“I was in a family unit for ten years without emotional attachment. It worked well.”
“Have you ever been with a woman who has feelings for you?”
His chest rose as he took a deep breath, expelling it slowly. “On Earth I wasn’t
allowed to form relationships with anyone and after I escaped from there I was too busy
working and trying to ensure the survival of my kind. Vonlona and I got along well and
we had no issues so the contract between us was mutually acceptable.”
Pushing up from the bed, Rena slowly inched toward him, staring into his beautiful
eyes. “You stood up to Earth Government because you had feelings and emotions, were
not the soulless being they wanted you to be, and you fought for your independence to
have what humans have, right?”
“Correct.”
“You’re all about logic, Steel. Why don’t you tell me where it was logical to fight for
your independence to feel and think when you committed yourself to that kind of
emotionless relationship?” She hesitated and then walked to him, reaching up to put her
hands on the curve of his shoulders. “Kiss me, Steel. Feel for me.”
Steel hesitated for seconds but then his hands were on her as he gripped her hips and
lifted her up his body. Rena didn’t gasp when it brought her face closer to his though she
was surprised at his action. She wrapped her arms around his neck and just went for his

mouth, pressing her lips to his, her body flush against his larger frame. When he opened
his mouth she didn’t hesitate, just met his tongue with hers. The kiss deepened and
Steel’s hands slid from her hips to wrap around her waist. He freed a hand to cup and grip
one of her ass cheeks, massaging it firmly enough for her to moan in pleasure. Rena
wrapped her legs around his hips, finding it difficult to concentrate on trying to get her
shoes off when Steel’s kiss was playing havoc on her system. The man kissed her so
passionately that her body responded as if she were igniting in flames, his tongue
dominating her mouth, tasting and teasing her.
She managed to kick off her shoes and wrapped her legs tighter around his waist,
hugging his hips with her thighs. Steel’s hand released her ass, slid upward and his
fingers dug between material and her skin at her spine. With one firm tug she heard fabric
tear as he tore open the back of her pants. In her haze of passion she didn’t give a damn if
he shredded all of her clothing off her. She rubbed her body against him, using her hold
on him to grip his body, to cling.
Steel jerked his mouth from hers, both of them breathless, and on Rena’s part, very
turned-on. She stared into a pair of gorgeous silvery blue eyes that looked wild and
passionate. Steel’s tongue swiped his lips then white teeth dented his full lower lip
drawing Rena’s attention.
“You don’t want me to turn off all my control, Rena.”
Her gaze lifted back to his eyes and she nodded. “Give me all you have, Steel. I can
take it and I want it.”
He growled something, his voice deep and rough, the words lost in his desire. He
took a few steps and then Rena found herself hitting the bed, a big cyborg coming down
on top of her, pinning her firmly to the mattress. He shifted his body and tugged at her
pants again, the sound loud over their ragged breathing when remaining fabric split. She
saw that something had changed in his eyes.
“I’ll try to be gentle.”
“I don’t give a damn if you are or not,” she admitted, lifting her hips up as much as
she could with his body still over hers, to help him free her of her clothes as he jerked
away the remaining material as if it were paper. Air hit her body as he tore away her
pants. “I hurt for you to be inside me,” she admitted. “No one has ever turned me on like
you do.”
His hand gripped her briefs and with one tug they tore from her body to be tossed
away. Shifting again Steel reached between them, the sound of his zipper loud as he
jerked it down. “This isn’t logical.”
A smile played at Rena’s lips. “But it feels great, doesn’t it? Are you as hot for me as
I am for you? Is your heart pounding? Do you ache for me like I do for you? I’m so wet
just from you kissing me, Steel, from you touching me and our bodies touching. I want
you inside me so desperately that it goes beyond desire. I need you.”
“What do you do to me?”
She didn’t have an answer for him but she really wished at that second that she could
read his mind. His face was contorted a little and she couldn’t tell if he was still angry or
not.

He didn’t bother to remove his pants, just shoved them down a few inches to free his
rigid cock. Rena shifted her hips, spreading her thighs and put her heels on the back of
his pants, below his ass, feeling the line between the material and his hot skin. His cock
nudged where she was soaked, brushing along her slit as their eyes remained locked and
then he was entering her slowly.
Pleasure tore through Rena, drawing a loud moan from her lips as her body stretched
to fit his thick shaft, accepting him inside. He came down on her fully again, his body
pressing hers to the mattress as he totally took possession of her, burying himself deep
into her pussy.
“Oh god,” Rena gasped. “Yes! You feel so damn big and right, Steel, so damn
good.” She couldn’t look away, watching as his eyes narrowed.
He froze there, not moving on her except for his breathing and he blinked. His hips
moved then as he partially withdrew to thrust down into her fast. Ecstasy gripped Rena,
her fingers clawing at his shirt, loving the feel of him moving inside her as he proceeded
to drive in and out of her at a rapid pace, their gazes still locked. She loved watching the
emotions play over his handsome features, pleasure apparent as he bit down on his full lip
again. She went for his mouth, wanting to kiss him, and he met her kiss.
Steel was a powerhouse of strength and stamina as he moved on her, plowing her
softer body with his hard one, driving her passion up by harmonizing the movements of
his tongue with his cock, forcing moans from her. Rena’s vaginal walls clenched,
tightening with pleasure and impending release. Steel groaned into her mouth, tearing his
lips from hers in the next heartbeat, and buried his face in the crook of her shoulder, his
hot breath tickling her neck.
“Come for me,” he rasped. “I can’t hold off unless I activate myself to do so.”
The idea of him not using any of his cyborg functions turned her on more, expanding
her pleasure, knowing she was getting all of the human side of the cyborg making love to
her. Rena cried out as her climax swamped her senses, feeling sheer rapture sear through
her body, starting at her pussy and flashing through her from head to toe. She cried out
Steel’s name.
His entire body jerked over Rena’s as Steel groaned loudly, coming deep inside her,
his semen shooting hard and hot enough that she could feel every burst of release from
him. He jerked again, groaning louder as he continued to come, her inner muscles
milking him as they twitched and fluttered in the aftermath of her orgasm. Slowly his
body relaxed over hers and both of them lay there trying to catch their breath, locked
together.
Rena realized they were still totally dressed from the waist up. A button on Flint’s
shirt was digging into her lower stomach a little where the material had ridden up while
he was fucking her. Steel was damn heavy. He rested over her from hip to chest but he’d
braced his arms just enough so she could breathe without difficulty. She was loosely
gripping his shoulders so she moved her hands, reaching up to run her fingers through his
really soft and wonderful hair, loving the feel of it between her fingers and using her
fingertips to massage his scalp.
“What are you doing?” Steel turned his head a little, resting it on the mattress, his
lips brushing the side of her throat as he spoke. “Don’t you want me to get up? Your legs
are still locked around my hips or I would have moved off you already.”

A grin split Rena’s mouth as she tightened her hold around his hips, crossing her
ankles to make certain he knew she had no intention of letting him go. “I’m enjoying you
right where you are so don’t you dare move. Don’t you cuddle after sex?”
“No.”
