Semua Bab The Captain, the Mechanic and the One Night Stand: Bab 31 - Bab 40

Mads's POVWith bleary eyes, I slowly roused from my slumber. Shit. I groaned, bowing my back and stretching my toes. When was the last time I slept? I couldn't even remember, but I know I didn't wake up feeling so rested.Theo was still curled up against my side, and I had an arm thrown over both her and Javier. Both of them still sleeping soundly. Theo's dark brown ringlets were tangled and all over the place. One of her legs was thrown around my waist, her back pressed against Javier's chest.He had one brawny arm around the flare of Theo's hips. His fingertips barely ghosted over my skin.But I didn't mind at all.I never took myself for a cuckold, but there I was, letting Javier take Theo while I watched greedily. Theo has always been a pleaser, so pleasing two men at the same time must've satisfied that part of her.Something I wanted to explore more of. Push the limits and peel back the layers of her desires. From the sound of it, Javier enjoyed it just as much as Th

Javier's POVFinally, only a few days away from Aeolus. Getting closer and closer to finding my niece. After stocking up on supplies at the last refueling station, we were in the final stretch. Hopefully, the Ravagers can give us something. Take us to Sol.But I haven't had much trouble filling my time. Some days, I snuck around with Theo. On other days I played cards with the rest of the crew, drank starshine, and messed around with the guys. Sometimes Mads, Theo, and I would go back to her room when everyone else turned in. But we wouldn't always be joined by Mads. In fact, if he wanted to be alone, he encouraged us to go spend some time together without him.Said it was important.I felt like he knew something I didn't. These budding feelings I had for Theo got stronger every day. I craved her. Her body. Her mind. I enjoyed learning all the things that made her tick. Mads was right. She was soft-hearted. Scared to let people in, but when she did, she bloomed like a blo

Mads's POVDread hung over me as the Pantomath's crew led us onboard his ship. It was extravagant. Needlessly expensive. I could tell by how the engine sounded exactly like Peacemakers, firing out the same amount of energy, but everything else was dressed in fine fabric. Silky tresses that did absolutely nothing for the ship but made it look pretty.And tripled its price tag.One of the Pantomath's goons grabbed Theo roughly, hard enough to leave a mark. The reaction I felt wasn't unfamiliar, but it was stronger than it had been before. A growl crawled up my throat, vibrating my chest.Get your fucking hands off her. My wolf split from our shared thinking, vibrating with volatile fury. I could feel it ebb out from inside of me, spreading heated violence to the tips of my fingers. For the first time in my life, the creature inside me threatened to steal my free will.Not now. If I went on a rampage right now, I could take maybe ten of the hired guns, but the other thirty would

Mads's POV"Wear a skirt for me."It wasn't a suggestion. Theo knew it wasn't either. Her cheeks flushed and I could scent the wetness gathering between her legs. That wasn't how I wanted it to go. I didn't want Theo to find out she was my mate because of my sister's lack of filter. I sighed, waiting by the cargo door, pinching the bridge of my nose between my fingers. Arguably, I'd been waiting too long to tell Theo anyway, but she's the type of woman to cut and run if she so much as senses a little commitment in the air.I was lucky she didn't fucking drop me when I told her I was in love with her. Maybe I wasn't as fucked as I thought I was. Theo may not understand her feelings, but she understood sex. She worked out her frustrations by parting her legs.Getting on her knees.Leaning over a counter, ass in the air. Shoving me backward on top of a mattress.Theo knew what she wanted and she'd take it. She also knew how to distract herself. Blaming the orgasm on any

Javier's POV"What the fuck did you tell my daughter? What did you say to her to make her think Earth was a good idea?!" Cyrus roared, visibly pacing around his office, not wearing his headdress since it was late at night on Ilios."Nothing. I didn't tell her anything, Cyrus," I snapped back, matching his energy. He was pissed off. Really good at hiding it during the day under numerous advisors' eyes, but now that he was alone, he was letting me have it."Come on, Javier, you had to have known something," he tsked, lip curled in dark-eyed rage. "You two were close. She told you things she never would have told me." It was a bitter comment—a snap of his teeth."That's because you weren't around, Cyrus," I replied, pressing my fingers into my temples. We were talking in circles. Hours now. All my brother was doing was getting himself worked up just to shout the same questions with different words. He couldn't seem to grasp that his nineteen-year-old daughter was a whole indepe
