Page 62 of Legend of Scorpio
As Rebecca walked for the bookcases, drawn by the books, she suddenly found herself going backwards. A glance at her feet showed the stone underfoot transporting her.
“Scorpio, why is the floor moving?”
“If I had to guess, the tower doesn’t want us snooping around.” They ended up in the stairwell, where the stonesuddenly encased them in a cocoon. She might have panicked, except Scorpio held her against his chest.
“Now what?” she murmured, leaning her cheek against him, reassured by the steady beat of his heart.
“I think the tower wants us back where we belong.” A journey that happened quickly. Too quickly, given the distance, but she knew by now not to use logic where the tower was concerned.
When the cocoon peeled away, they found themselves on the office floor, which startled those milling around.
Aries spotted them first. “You found her!”
“More like the tower showed me. She was at the very top,” he explained.
“But how?” Everyone had questions, but Rebecca had no answers. She truly didn’t know how she’d ended up there or what happened to the orb, although every time she tried to remember, for some reason, she thought of exploding stars.
Weird.
With her safely returned, the Zodiac Warriors in residence ended up on the dining level seated at the massive table, where the tower had spread a feast. It also provided her with clothes, which she changed into when using the bathroom.
A famished Rebecca tucked into the food, hungrier than she ever recalled. Scorpio, by her side, only ate slightly more. The mood oozed jubilance, the crew celebrating what they considered a victory. The relic wasn’t in Cetus’ possession. As a matter of fact, Cetus had suffered a setback, given their main building was destroyed in what officials were calling a lab explosion.
The only oddity occurred when Sage suddenly stood with her glass of apple juice and said in that creepy voice she liked to use, “Celebrate today, for soon a new quest begins. Sins from the past return to test. The harshest trials are yet to come.”
Silence fell until Leo stood and said, “And on that note, I’m going to get drunk.”
He stalked off, and the party broke up with Scorpio and Rebecca heading to his suite. They both sighed as the door closed behind them then laughed.
“Is your life always like this?” she asked. “Since I’ve met you, it’s been nothing but danger.”
“Usually, we each do a couple of missions a year. This whole relic and an evil corporation out to get us is new.”
“With Cetus losing its headquarters, do you think they’re done with the Zodiacs?” she asked.
“I’d like to lie and say yes, but given the trouble they went to…” He shook his head. “They’ll be back, but this time, we’ll be ready for them.”
“Speaking of ready…” she purred. “I seem to recall someone promising me more than ten minutes the next time we were alone.”
His lips stretched into a wide smile. “Is that a hint, Doc?”
“More like me demanding you make good on your word.”
“You’re not too tired?”
“I feel better than I can ever recall.” And that was the truth. Nothing ached. On the contrary, she felt strong, energized, and very, very aroused.
She grabbed him by the shirt she’d given back after the tower clothed her and yanked him until she could reach his lips.
He uttered a groan as she kissed him. Their lips meshed hotly and passionately. His hands cupped her ass and squeezed, sending a shiver of anticipation through her.
Their clothes went flying as they made quick work of the garments, eager to be naked, craving skin-to-skin contact.
Rather than make it to the bed, Rebecca found herself seated on the couch, Scorpio kneeling between her legs. His hands caressed her flesh, and his lips tickled a path as he made hisway from her lips, down between the valley of her breasts, to her stomach. He didn’t stop there. He trailed his mouth even lower, burying his face between her parted thighs.
His tongue speared her nether lips and teased, making her cry out. He licked her, teased her, flicked her clit until she writhed and panted.
When she begged him to give her his shaft and end the turmoil, he kept licking instead. Teased her until her body bowed and she came, a sharp cry slipping past her lips.
