“I don’t think this is a good idea.”
He leaned into her. “Why not, are you scared?”
“I don’t scare easy,” she said with a shake of her head.
He caught her chin and kept it in place, slowly moving his face closer to hers, keeping his gaze glued on her as he took in the sweet scent of her breath on his face. Ely was dressed in an outfit similar to the ones Brynn wore onboard the ship. Would he dare kiss her right now? Should he cross the line or would she retaliate violently again, and why did she seem like a completely different woman?
“Don’t,” she whispered.
“Why…because you’re afraid you’ll like it?”
Ace didn’t wait for her answer. Instead, he pressed his mouth lightly over hers, testing the waters. He pulled back instantly, leaving only a fraction of breath between them, licking his lips as he savored her sweet taste. “Tell me to stop. Tell me you didn’t like it.”
When Ely didn’t say anything, he pressed his lips against hers again and kissed her like he’d never kissed anyone before. Their lips moved in tandem, while his fingers itched to touch her everywhere, but she suddenly pulled out of the kiss.
Ely ducked under his arms and pushed against him hard enough to make the flimsy wall collapse. He fell forward with the momentum, unable to keep his feet hooked on the ground. He wound up falling on his face.
“Ace?”
Lifting his head, he found Colt and Brynn standing in front of him, both with surprised looks on their faces. Though it didn’t take Colt long to burst out laughing.
Ace picked himself up and dusted his jeans. He didn’t care about the humiliation of ending up on the ground. It had been worth it because now that he’d had a taste of Ely, it wasn’t just the man who wanted her. The beast inside him rumbled deep within his soul.
It looks like you’ve found a mate, it whispered.
Ace wasn’t sure if Ely could ever be a true mate, but he sure as hell wasn’t going to give up until he had her in his arms again. He needed to make her his. And now that he knew she wanted him too, he wouldn’t stop until all of his fantasies became a reality.
She might have been trying to lie to herself, but he’d smelt her arousal in the air.
She’s mine now.

hey’re in it to win it—or die trying.
Willa Rayes, only daughter of a legendary Lingorian fighter pilot, can fly any ship in the galaxy. Better than her brothers, in fact. But does that get her any respect? Not as long as she has breasts. Winning the Nebulon Trike will not only force her family to notice her, it’ll be her declaration of independence from men in general.
Then she meets her race partner, Stratton Sinnet. Arrogant and chauvinistic, he ignites her libido like no man ever before. And threatens to send her well-planned strategy straight to hell.
A bounty hunter by trade, Sin enters the Trike for one reason: money. Somewhere among the racers his quarry is hiding, but he’s not worried. He always gets his man, and winning the race will be a nice bonus. It sure would be a hell of a lot easier, though, if he wasn’t saddled with a know-it-all navigator who’s getting on his last nerve—and under his skin.
As the checkpoints go by and the danger escalates, the fight for control, the lead—and satisfaction—approaches supernova heat. Burning away their resistance, and the tough shells that protect their one vulnerability…their hearts.
Warning: This story contains a hot, bald bounty hunter whose sex appeal rivals his cockiness; a smart-mouthed pilot who refuses to let a mere male beat her in anything; and love scenes that’ll make you'll think a star exploded. Dramamine recommended to counteract the effects of fancy flying.
