Chapter 14

What the hell did I just do? Equal parts panic and impotent frustration cruised through Vex, leaving her faintly nauseous with the beginnings of a headache. The decision to put the Vultures squarely in Greer’s crosshairs wasn’t sitting well. It should’ve been Reaper’s call, not hers. Not that Trip gave her much of a choice. Hell, she couldn’t even blame Math for offering the option since it initially came from Reaper. Didn’t make it any easier that she was the one finalising it. The only bonus? She and Math would be able to hunt for the missing Strix uninterrupted. Until then she was stuck here twiddling her thumbs with the attractive pain in the ass behind her.

Like whispering the magic word, her private admission granted the sneaky slut in her head and the accompanying hormones entrance into her thoughts. Could be twiddling something else, girl. Heat bloomed under her skin.

Before the visuals could go full-blown, Math interrupted her private musings. ‘You’ve got yourself an admirer, Vex.’

Standing next to the window, the top half protected by a thick sheet of metal, she turned away from the sketchy entertainment of the streets below and shot Math a frown. ‘What?’

‘In Trip’s throne room.’ Those dark eyes watched her, his expression impenetrable. ‘There was a guy when we first walked in, couldn’t keep his eyes off you.’

Like she’d noticed? More concerned about keeping Math from doing something crazy, say like taking out Trip, she hadn’t bothered to worry about who was watching. Now that they no longer had an audience, she found it difficult to deny the dangerous urges coursing below the surface. The sexy bastard was stretched out across a thick pallet of blankets piled in the corner. With his arms behind his head and his lashes at half-mast, practically issued an invitation to come play.

Did he know how tempting he looked lying there? Because he was, not to mention damn distracting. Which was the reason she stayed near the window and kept her eyes on the street below, brooding instead of enjoying what lay behind her. Occasionally she caved, sneaking a peek, which only fed the lustful fuel keeping her inner hussy panting and the rising heat curling through her. She drank in his long legs and the broad shoulders poorly concealed by his t-shirt. Not to mention the intriguing dips and valleys begging to be traced. Preferably with her tongue.

‘Vex?’

Distracted by a tangle of half-formed images of what one touch could lead to, she blinked. ‘Yeah?’

Under the soft glow of the solar lamp, the steel blue of Math’s eyes focused on her with an uncomfortable intensity. ‘You okay?’

‘Just tired.’ Tired and horny. A very bad combination. Maybe she could blame it on adrenaline letdown. Scrubbing her hands over her face in an effort to wipe her mind clear, she tried to find a lighter footing, one that didn’t involve naked playtime. What had he said? Right, someone had been watching her. ‘Afraid I’ll leave you for something better?’

‘Babe, ain’t nothing better than this.
