Chapter Eleven

With that breathtaking declaration, Max powered his system down. Inrit put all thoughts of sensual promises out of her mind. Or she tried to. It took several moments and several deeper breaths to bring her reaction under control.

Then she got to work.

The governor was exactly where she expected it to be. With Max’s systems powered down, he was unconscious and deathly still. His chest barely rose and fell under the weight of all the currently useless machinery within. Inrit worked quickly, extracting the thin metal cylinder that had been causing him so many problems and slipping it into a secure metal vial. She would have thrown it away, but she wasn’t getting rid of any of his parts until she was sure that he was safe.

With the governor gone, she reattached the wires where they belonged and sealed the chest plate behind the metal guard. His skin was designed to reattach and seal itself, using a blend of his real skin and synthetic polymers. It sealed as if by magic before her eyes. While it looked impressive, Inrit knew that this only worked for the small portion of flesh covering his control panel. The rest of him healed faster than normal, but not miraculously so.

She put her tools aside and said a prayer to whatever gods were listening before beginning the power up sequence for Max’s mechanics.

As his mechanics began to come online, she felt the edge of hope creep up on her. It wanted to wrap her in a big soft blanket of reassurance until she knew that everything was going to be okay. Inrit erected a spiky wall of caution and stopped it in its tracks. Hope had no place here, not until Max was awake and well and moving.

And hers.

I think I’m falling in love with you. As she’d thrust herself into research into his condition, she’d been aware of the emotion stalking her like some giant jungle cat. It watched and learned and waited to pounce until she was in just the right place to be felled. Inrit didn’t let her guard down, didn’t let the beast take her.

Max was a dangerous man, soon to be even more dangerous. He’d done nothing to push her away, and everything to accept her. She’d bared the harshest, dirtiest secret in her soul and he accepted it like she deserved forgiveness. The biggest danger he posed was to her. He wouldn’t use his soon to be ungoverned strength to hurt anyone.

But one ungentle shove and he’d destroy what was left of her soul.

If Inrit was smart, she would take the sex he offered and leave once it was done. She could change her name, find a new planet, a new galaxy if she needed, and never hear another word from her cyborg lover. He would be nothing but a painfully bright memory tattooed across her heart.

Too bad all her survival instincts had jumped out the airlock where he was concerned. There was no way to protect her heart from him since he already lived within it.
