CHAPTER 11

Xaviara laid on the bed, arms wrapped around Nicholen. A familiar ache between her legs tantalized her. He’d tried to repay her, but she wanted to wait, preferring instead to snuggle up next to him as he laid in a blissful half-stupor from what she had done.

Whatever happened with the investigation, she’d make sure he paid her back. Besides, he was still sighing periodically and saying, “That was amazing. You didn’t have to do that.” She’d long since stopped trying to dissuade him from making that assertion. It was true. She didn’t have to. And that knowledge made her feel sexy, strong, and close to him as they cuddled together.

Despite how perfect she felt, her thoughts returned to the problem at hand. Gloria had all but ordered Nicholen from the bridge to allow the human team to deal with the stranded lead ship, and she wouldn’t take too kindly to being questioned by the trincaar she saw as superfluous. But he needed to talk to her—needed to deploy his interrogation skills to pull out any additional information she might have.

Xaviara couldn’t think of a pleasant way to break through Nicholen’s blissful reverie. She glanced up at his face. His eyes were hooded, a lazy smile making him even more handsome than she remembered. Shivering, she opened her mouth.

Her tablet beeped three long beeps.

Xaviara pushed herself from Nicholen’s chest. The lazy look was gone, although the smile still flitted at the corners of his mouth. “What’s that?” he asked.

She swung herself over the edge of the bed. “The scan is done. And it found something of interest on Gloria.”

He sat bolt upright, chest muscles contracting underneath the thin fabric, his shirt pushed halfway up his belly. Despite what had just gone on, Xaviara couldn’t help but trace the light line of hair down his chest and past his naval. He caught her look and grinned almost shyly. It’s a little late for that. She loved how adorable he was, rubbing his hand over the back of his neck and looking sheepish.

She tore her eyes away reluctantly. “Let me see what it says.”

Opening the tablet, she pulled up the program. She’d already queued up the next search string, so she started it right away. It was an algorithm that would detect any similar clues amongst the other humans. The search was broader and would take more time, which is why she had started the Gloria search first. The hourglass came up, signaling the search was running, so she switched over to the results.

Nicholen was looking at her anxiously, though he lounged backward onto his pillow. Xaviara bit her lip and focused on the tablet, willing herself not to let her mind go wandering off into delectable memories. “It says here that she has some investments we need to look at.”

“Investments? What are they?”

Xaviara opened the results window for more details. “Oh. Oh! Oh…”

“I can’t wait to make you make those noises later, little viaar,” Nicholen’s voice was low and sultry, “but you can’t keep a guy in suspense like that.
