Chapter Eleven

Dagger’s hand froze as she told him about what had transpired. He remembered very little. He vaguely recalled the missile that struck their fighter. Fragmented images of them crashing in the city filled his head. They had skimmed the tops of several buildings. The wings of the fighter had been ripped off and they had crashed in a small courtyard area of the city.

He didn’t know how they survived. Edge had been unconscious. Dagger knew he had suffered a concussion. The strong smell of fuel had forced him into action. He had unstrapped and kicked open the side door of the transport. It was the only exit accessible to them as part of the building had collapsed on the back of the fighter.

He vaguely remembered checking to see if Edge was alive and unstrapping the warrior. It had been a struggle, but he had half carried, half dragged Edge out of the fighter and dropped his body under a section of roof that had been destroyed from a nearby building.

He had turned to go back to the fighter to retrieve weapons and supplies when he saw two rebels crawling into it. Seconds later, there had been a tremendous explosion. He had been thrown backwards, striking his head again. The next time he woke, he was on a rebel transport in a cage. The next two years, he had literally fought to stay alive in the hopes of finding a way to escape. He had no idea that his people thought he was dead.

“Edge?” Dagger asked in a husky voice.

He felt Jordan shake her head. “Nothing yet,” she said with a sigh. “I’ve been searching, but not like I have for you. I did tell Hunter that I believed he was alive as well. There has been an intense search, especially once they realized that I was right about you. I kept following leads from what they knew of the mercenaries that had attacked the planet. Everything kept leading to Kelman. I had a terrible time finding him. He is very good about covering his tracks.”

Dagger’s hand started moving on her back again. He felt her sigh as she rubbed her cheek along the trace of warm skin that was revealed by the open neck of his shirt. A heavy wave of need flooded him. It had been over two years since he had been with a female. Hell, he hadn’t touched another woman since he met Jordan.

During his captivity, the need for survival was paramount to everything. Kelman knew he would either use or kill anyone placed in the same cell with him. Kelman and the guards had taunted him a few times, but soon bored when he showed no interest.

Now, his body woke with a vengeance. He wanted Jordan with a primitive need that made sweat bead on his brow. Dagger drew in a deep breath, trying to calm the fire burning inside him. The flame that had simmered for two years burst into a roaring inferno when Jordan shifted her left hand up and ran her fingers up the open neck and along his skin.
