    Neeve glanced at Mac. “ There’s something wrong .”
    “ What ?”
    She frowned. “ With this space. I feel like I’m being watched.”
    “I just had a similar conversation with Kaiden about what’s going on in my head.”
    She studied him for a second. “ There’s definitely something going on. I’ll block harder.”
    “ Hell, you can control electrical fields, can’t you ?” Mac smiled. “ Can you take security systems out? ”
    “ Yes .”
    “ Then when we get naked, you go ahead and do that. It might not stop the prof for long, but it will give us a chance for some privacy.”
    She raised her chin. “Kaiden’s going first this time, okay?”
    His smile faded. “Are you sure that’s what you want?”
    “I thought you’d prefer it. You were the one who asked to be off base while this happened.”
    “ You know why I did that .” He turned his gaze to Kaiden who was still messing around in the kitchen. “Is there any beer?”
    “I’ll check,”
    “Thanks.” Mac stretched out his legs and sighed. “If I’m going to be hanging around I might as well get comfortable.
    Neeve’s gaze drifted down over his body and his cock jumped to attention. “There’s another reason why you’re better off being last.”
    “And what’s that?” Mac rubbed a casual hand over his chest and then down to cup his balls. Why he felt the need to display himself to a female he’d sworn to keep away from he couldn’t say.
    “Pavlovan sex works better as a threesome and I already know how you feel about those.”
    She was talking more loudly than usual. Was she attempting to convey something to Professor Dean who he was sure, despite her promises, was hanging on their every word?
    “What are you trying to say, Doc?”
    Neeve shrugged. “You told me you don’t like to share.”
    “I think you’re forgetting that Kaiden and I already have shared you, Dr. Neeve.”
    “Not entirely. And once was apparently enough to freak you out. What did Commander Kaiden do? Touch your ass or something?”
    He shrugged. “Maybe I don’t have the hots for him.”
    “So why can’t you come to bed with us, and just share me? I’m not asking you to fuck him.”
    Mac shuddered. “Fuck that ? No thanks.”
    “Hey.” Kaiden called out in his deep voice. “I’m fucking irresistible. Ask anyone.”
    Neeve rose to her feet and came toward Mac. “Fine, then wait it out. That should give your scientists something to think about .”
    His gaze fastened on the v of her blue robe and the intriguing shadow between her breasts. He licked his lips and silently groaned. The thought of her having Kaiden and not him first was difficult to swallow. She belonged with him. Didn’t she see that?
    “ I see it, Mac. You’re the one who won’t believe it .”
    She walked over to Kaiden in the kitchen and let her robe fall to the ground. She was naked beneath the silk. With a grin, Kaiden picked her up and sat her on the countertop, spreading her legs with his hips and sliding one hand into her hair as he kissed her.
    Mac tried to look away as a low growl rumbled from his throat. Kaiden’s big hand cupped Neeve’s ass and drew her closer and closer to the roll of his hips. Even from his seat, Mack could smell the scent of their arousal all around him.
    “Mmm…” Kaiden murmured. “I have too many clothes on.” He wrapped an arm low around Neeve’s hips and lifted her off the countertop. “Mac, get your own beer. I have to service Dr. Neeve right now.” He walked out of the kitchen and down the hallway to the bedroom, Neeve clinging to him like a vine.
    Mac didn’t hear the door close and that was bad enough, but then Neeve started to gasp and moan and he seriously wanted to go in there and fucking shoot his commanding officer through the head, He knew he was doing the right thing—keeping away from her, letting Kaiden take the brunt of the mating cycle and he didn’t fucking care. He wanted to be the one inside her,
