Chapter Seven

“What the fuck…” Thaegan’s heavy steps pounded across the floor. “Watch out, Sawyer, she’s got the dagger!”

In the split second it took Dallas’ lust-fogged mind to register Thaegan’s sudden appearance, he interpreted exactly what the Ka’al saw—the mess scattered on the floor behind them, Lilly’s unbound naked form bending seductively in front of him and the Seraphelium taking control with the deadly Ba’alkin dagger sliding toward his vital organs. With the jeans tangled around his ankles, there wasn’t much Dallas could do to protect either of them from the oncoming freight train that was his partner. He curled his body over in hopes of shielding Lilly from the blow, but survival instincts had her moving like a shot.

With the agility and confidence of one of Chicago’s finest, Lilly charged, the knife extended. Thaegan let out a war cry as he reached out to disarm Lilly. What happened next may have appeared in slow motion, but Dallas would never be sure how the petite woman had managed it. There was a tangling of arms, a juggling of the dagger and Lilly’s booted foot shot out and up. Somehow she managed to use Thaegan’s momentum against him. The large alien lost his balance, sprawled on his back and slid along the floor, smashing into the chair near Dallas. It was a wonder he hadn’t been taken down as well.

Silence pinged off the walls of the tiny cabin as the three of them assimilated the events of the last minute.

Dallas retrieved his jeans and pulled himself back together. Lilly bounced on the balls of her feet, the dagger still in her hand and extended, prepared for another attack. Thaegan slowly sat up, his fingers probing his scalp for damages. Dallas wanted to laugh at his partner’s pinched expression. He’d never seen the large alien bested by anyone in hand-to-hand combat, let alone a small woman.

“Enough is enough, asshole.” Lilly’s angry words brought him up short.

Dallas stepped toward her, his hand extended. But the warning look she shot stopped him cold. “Lilly, put down the dagger. You’ve got to see how this looked to Thaegan.”

“What I see, Dallas, is a couple of government idiots who overpowered an innocent woman doing her job. I think it’s me who should be pissed at you for costing me a bounty. Not the other way around.”

The woman had morphed from wanton seductress to pissed-off woman in two seconds flat. Not that he blamed her. They’d kidnapped her, tied her up and now Thaegan had tried to attack her a second time in less than two hours. She had every right to resent them. But, shit, she did look sexy as hell with that dangerous mien of female indignation sparking in her eyes. Her breasts bounced enticingly with her anger, her hair disheveled from the altercation with Thaegan. And that mouth spewing fury was still swollen from his kisses. Jesus, the blood rushing to his groin was making it hard to focus.

“Lilly, we—”

“I told you not to untie her.
