His inability to control his Nobek clanmate made Bacoj’s
stomach clench. “Japohn stubborn. Insist his way.
“But isn’t the Dramok in charge of the clan?”
Bacoj drew a deep breath. He gave Lindsey a shamefaced
smile. “Japohn older. Much experience with hostile situation. Know more me.”
Lindsey narrowed her eyes at him. “He may have more
experience, but he should use it to advise, not run all over you. You’re not
stupid, Bacoj. Man up and put him in his place.”
She rose up on her tiptoes and planted a kiss on the
Dramok’s lips, as if to make up for the tough words. Despite his surprise at
the unexpected affection, Bacoj quickly wrapped his arms around Lindsey’s tiny
frame and pulled her close. Feeling her against his body made his senses come
alive.
As he tasted the velvet sweetness of her mouth, he wondered
once more if Lindsey would perhaps honor his clan by joining them. Having her
warm his bed for the rest of their lives was a tantalizing prospect. Certainly
Vax and Japohn wouldn’t object to such a delightful opportunity. It was fast, but a Kalquorian clan was beyond
lucky to find a female mate. No clan would squander such a chance. Not only
that, but Bacoj felt a connection to Lindsey already. If he hadn’t known
better, he’d have said he fell in love the moment he saw her.
