Vera

I surged to my feet. “What’s happening?”

Glin frowned and said, “A craft is landing.”

Rescue? No, not with alarms sounding. “It’s not a Fremm ship, is it?”

Glin shook his head. “I set the security to immediately shut the power down if a non-Fremm ship enters the atmosphere.” He grabbed two towels, tossed me one, and reached for his wrist comm. With a few jabs on the controls, the alarm ceased.

Silence pervaded the house, complete and utter silence without the soft background noise of power and heat.

“Is it the people who sabotaged our ship?” I wrapped myself in the towel, suddenly exposed and cold.

Glin shook his head. “No, they would have been here days ago.” His eyes roved over me, dispassionate and clinical. “You should dress. The temperature will drop soon.”

“Why does the heat have to be off?”

“Because a smart smuggler would scan the planet surface for power signatures. They won’t find our shuttle but they will find this house.”

Already I began to shiver. “Fine. But won’t they see our life forms in a scan?”

Glin nodded. “Yes, but if they did that, they would already be here. Since we don’t have any smugglers knocking down the door, I think we’ve escaped their attention.”

We just have to keep our heads down and hope they don’t scan for humanoid life.

I made my way upstairs in the dark. My outfit was muddy and shredded, beyond saving. Time to raid the wardrobe. I found a long tunic good for sleeping.

Glin sat by the hearth in the main room.

“Won’t the smoke from the chimney give us away?” I asked.

“Not during a blizzard. When the storm clears, we will have to do without.” His back stiffened as he spoke, not looking at me. Great, we’re back to this. I sucked his cock and he continued to ignore me. Smart, Vera. Good decision making skills.

I know he feels for me. I know it. I can see it in the way he watches me when he thinks I’m not looking. Why then, do I throw myself at him and keep getting rejected? What is it about me that pushes him away?

I sank into the cushions arranged by the heart. Hard to believe that only a day ago we sat side by side, enjoying a film and easy in each other's company. “I’m sorry I ran off,” I said.

“Do not apologize. It is your nature to be curious. I was unthinking to confine you to the house.”

We sat in silence. I wrapped myself in a blanket. My feet and face were warmed by the fire. “Do you think they’d be here by now?” I asked.

“Yes, there is no way for us to obfuscate our life signs from a scan.”

“What do they want here?”

“Blackborn must be used a waypoint or storage facility.”

I remembered the warehouse without any dust or debris, despite not having automated maintenance. Other buildings in the town were in disrepair but not the warehouse. “No people, no oversight and no tourists. Blackborn is the perfect spot for a smuggler.
