Jax slammed the door of his battered spaceship behind him, the metallic clang echoing through the dim cargo hold. His pulse raced from the chase—another bounty slipped through his fingers, but the real prize was waiting. Zara lounged against a stack of crates, her iridescent skin shimmering under the flickering lights, those full lips curled in a knowing smirk. She was no ordinary mark; this seductive alien had been toying with him across three star systems, her body a weapon sharper than any blaster.

'Caught you staring again, hunter,' Zara purred, her voice a silken rasp that sent heat straight to his groin. She uncrossed her legs slowly, the sheer fabric of her outfit clinging to her curves like a second skin, hinting at the soft swell of her breasts and the inviting dip between her thighs. Jax's cock twitched in his pants, already half-hard from the adrenaline of pursuit.
