After boarding a lift, we were silent until we entered the docks and boarded the Aida. As the access door swung closed, I released a sigh of relief. Even then, we didn’t speak until Griffin completed a security scan.

I quickly unpacked and then stepped to the doorway of the bridge. “Do you trust her, Griffin?”

He’d started a systems check, moving from screen to screen as he spoke.

“Trust is always a gamble, Lio. How do you feel about her?”

“God, Grif, I have no memory of her. There’s no proof that what she’s saying is true. But we could use her.”

“We could use her mercenaries.” He swiveled his seat to face me. Under the cool light of the bridge, the hard planes of his face were set off in high contrast; the black eye patch looked like a pit in his face. “I do recognize her from the visits between kingdoms. Your wife… Cloris….” He broke off and sighed. “Cloris was from their kingdom. She was accused of leaking information about us to Carlotta’s father.”

“My wife was a spy?” Why didn’t that surprise me? Was that knowledge there in my memory, waiting to be rediscovered? There was a greater surprise to come.

“Helios, Carlotta was Cloris’s younger sister. She was your sister-in-law.”

All right, now I’d officially reached the “too much information” point. My brain simply didn’t want to continue to process that much intrigue. I couldn’t connect the brazen bodyguard with the mother of my son. Predictably, the muscles of my entire body went heavy and weak, and my thoughts grew hazy.

“Helios…. Lio!” A slight shake on my shoulder brought me about. I looked at Griffin. He looked slightly panicked. “She’s on her way. You need to pull it together. We need to make this decision, and now.”

I didn’t think; I simply reacted.

“We need her.”

“That’s your instinct?”

I nodded. “When I think, I get fuzzy. When I ask the question, the answer is yes.”

He looked steadily at me. “I trust your instincts. You need to trust them as well.”

I rose and headed back to the small cabins. “I’ll get Markus’s cabin cleared out. I won’t be needing it anyway.”

The look he gave me was hot, and even as my heart accelerated, my cock expressed its interest in my wayward thoughts. There wouldn’t be time for sex anytime soon. I’d have to hang on to my few memories of my time with Griffin and hope they would carry me through.
