He’d known when she spoke to Rico that there was no way he was taking her with him. Christ, for a moment he’d actually considered it. With Daisy at his side, anything seemed possible. But it wouldn’t work. And Daisy was a vampire. No way could he take her anywhere near the Church.

She appeared so small and helpless lying on the floor of the shuttle, her long pale hair covering her face. Crouching down beside her, he smoothed aside the silky strands, stroked a finger down her cheek.

Hopefully, she’d hate him for this.

He had no clue how long she would be out—vampires didn’t exactly react as expected to these things. Scooping her up in his arms, he straightened and headed out the door. At the top of the ramp, he searched the docking bay for somewhere he could leave her safely, finally settling on one of the smaller shuttles.

He carried her across. “Open,” he murmured, and the doors parted. Inside, he put her down on the floor beside the pilot’s seat, unlocked the cuff from her right wrist, wrapped it around the metal chair leg, and refastened it so she was tied to the seat. There was nothing she could reach that would help her. At the last moment, he removed the comm unit from her wrist and tossed it across the room. Apart from killing her, there was nothing else he could do. And that really wasn’t an option.

He leaned across and kissed her on the forehead. She’d be okay. Her friends would look after her. She wasn’t alone.

It took a force of will to step away. After closing the doors behind him, he headed back to the shuttle. He stood for a moment staring down at the console, then drew his pistol and shot out the comm unit. He had an idea Daisy would try to talk him out of this once she awoke. And he didn’t want to give in to temptation.

Two minutes later, he was in the air. He half expected the docking bay doors to remain shut, keeping him prisoner, but as he approached, the internal doors opened. He hovered for a second while they closed and the external doors parted, and he was out in space, flying away from The Blood Hunter.
