But we’re not dating and as far as I know, he’s not even interested in me, she reminded herself. So I have to keep a lid on this situation somehow!
But how she was going to manage that, she didn’t have any idea. As Flow-da said goodnight and went along the curving hallway to her own room, Andi was left with the realization that she had a huge, horny Hybrid on her hands and she had no idea how to handle him without doing extremely inappropriate things.

CADE
Cade paced back and forth in front of the fresher door, making deep noises of discontentment in his throat. What was taking his female so long in there? And why had she shut him out? When would he get to taste more of her honey and make her come for him?
He could hear her on the other side of the door and he could see the mechanism which might open it. It was a round, shiny metal knob. Cade had the feeling that he had once known how to work such mechanisms. He studied it for a while and then it came to him. Putting his hand on the knob, he twisted it—first one way and then the other. But still the door didn’t open.
Cade growled.
This was incredibly frustrating! He should be able to get to his female! She should not have shut herself away from him. What if something happened to her and he wasn’t there to save her? What if someone attacked her, like the wild ones in the field and he wasn’t there to protect her? What then?
Cade could feel himself getting more and more upset. If she didn’t come out soon, he would have to throw himself against the door and see if he could break it to get to her.
He didn’t see that he had any other choice.

ANDI
Andi took a long, hot shower even though Goodie Tight-azz had told her not to use too much hot water. She felt like she needed it—the heated water pounding on her head was calming.
Or it would have been if she hadn’t been able to hear Cade scratching at the door and making low growling sounds. What in the world was she going to do with him? She couldn’t leave him out in the bedroom while she stayed in the bathroom all night. Her Protector was already restless and unhappy—she had to do something to soothe him and calm him down.
But how could she, when the only choices seemed to be letting him suck her nipples or lick her pussy?
Andi could just imagine trying to explain why she had allowed such wildly inappropriate behavior not only to Cade, but to her direct supervisor and boss, Commander Sylvan. Just the thought made her flush with mortification. No—that would be too awful!
And yet…she couldn’t wait until Cade “went Primal” either—could she?
She got out of the shower and dried herself with the skimpy, scratchy towels that had been provided. Clearly Goodie Tight-azz didn’t care much if her guests liked their accommodations—at least when it came to the bathroom. The soap had been harsh and abrasive, too—a dark brown square that felt like it had sandpaper grit in it.
Andi used it to wash her panties in the sink and then used the ancient-looking rusty air dryer mounted on the wall to dry them. Luckily the silk dried fast because she could hear Cade getting more and more restless on the other side of the door. Maybe she shouldn’t have left him alone in the bedroom—she hoped he didn’t tear up the place!
At last, her panties were dry and she put them back on. But she hated to put her wrap dress back on as well—she didn’t want to sleep in the same clothes she’d been wearing all day while she walked all over Zo’rath Three. She’d taken off Cade’s uniform shirt at dinner and hung it on the back of her chair. Then she’d forgotten it when he’d gotten so frisky under the table—so she couldn’t wear that either, since she’d left it in the dining room.
Finally she decided just to wrap one of the towels around herself and go out to try and calm Cade down. Though how she was going to manage that, she still didn’t know.
Andi pulled the towel as tightly around herself as she could, but it still gaped open in the front and was so short it didn’t even cover her ass. The scratchy material was irritating to her nipples too, which seemed extremely sensitive for some reason. She opened the towel for a moment and peered at them in the mirror. Were they bigger and darker than they had been? Did that mean she was producing the Sweet Drops?
Experimentally, she poked one tight peak with a finger and gave a little hiss. God, she was so sensitive. She’d always had big breasts and tender nipples—they gave her a lot of pleasure if she touched them the right way—or if a partner touched or sucked them. But they seemed extra sensitive tonight—not to mention really puffy and prominent. Was all that because she’d been breathing in The Scent?
