Chapter Thirteen

“SO THIS IS WHY YOU weren’t afraid to enter a strange Xeno Sapien’s territory,” Zee said, flat on his back as he looked up at her. She’d just flipped him onto his back and halted his movements with her foot across his throat.

“Honey, child,” she purred. “You were as sweet as a mewling lamb.”

He raised one eyebrow. “I don’t think lambs mewl.”

“You do.”

She was distracted when he grabbed her foot, stroked along the sensitive calf up to her knee, and pulled her down so she was on top of him. “Gotcha.”

“You’d run around for hours panicking when you couldn’t find me in the pen.”

“I remember,” he said, his eyebrows knit together. “Where were you that you watched?”

“The trees,” she whispered, leaning over to kiss his nose. “I watched you take many a beating from those trees. In their defense, you kicked some ass until they darted and muzzled you.”

“Bastards were always muzzling me.”

He allowed her up so they could take their defensive positions again.

“Now, let me show you how to break a breastbone, instead of ripping a torso open.”

He shrugged, but his eyes gleamed. “Same diff.”

“It is not! Your way has us swimming in blood. What if we have to get away? You don’t think a bloodbath will attract drones?”

“We have methods of clean up,” he said.

“It’s best to know how in case those methods aren’t available,” she said. “Like now.”

“My Xeno Sapien brothers wouldn’t leave us hanging, angel. They’d arrive as soon as we gave the signal to come clean up.”

“Humor me and learn to slaughter neatly,” she said, exasperated.

His lips twitched. “Have I mentioned today that you’re the perfect mate?”

She felt her grin spread along with his. “It did sound a little ridiculous.”

His smile sobered. “I’m not going to ask you to rough it with me in my den again. But I am going to let you choose between us in my apartment, or us in yours.”

“Mine is next door to my sister’s.”

“Then yours it is,” he rumbled. “Now bring it to me again.” He widened his stance, distributing his weight between both legs. He extended his hand out, palm up, and curled his fingers into a come hither move.

That, she could do. She pelted him with blows and blocked his—all to show him she wasn’t some damsel in distress. She was his partner in every way. She could take a life with him.

But getting sweaty with Zee always led to one thing and she didn’t protest when he picked her up, threw her over his shoulder, turned off the camera that signified Robyn watching, and stomped off to their bedroom.
