Chapter Twelve

David laid in bed, chuckling to himself as Traze related the latest caravan news to him through the shengari’. Once Kurt and Rex had been reunited with the group traveling to Dillon, it seems that things got a little better for Traze but not by much.

He was caught between pity for Traze and for the caravan of people unused to someone like the crazy Relian hybrid. If the boy were to be believed, they’d had him cleaning shit tanks and electrocuting himself replacing DC electrical converters at every stop. David wasn’t quite convinced that anyone would trust Traze to mess with their electrical anything, but he’d patiently listened to the kid complain for the last hour.

David heard the whisper of the door and waited to see who had come in without knocking. His breath caught in his throat for a moment before he told Traze he had to go and would talk to him later.

“Did I wake you?” Jodi whispered.

David sat up and bunched the covers around his waist. He shook his head, unsure if his voice would crack if he tried to speak through the love and desire that swamped him the second he saw her.

Jodi’s long dark hair had always been beautiful, but in the dim lighting of the room, it blended perfectly with the shadows creating a halo effect around her head. Which seemed to emphasize her delicate facial features.

He’d always thought of her as petite, but as she stood nervously in the doorway, blending in and out of the shadows, Jodi seemed smaller and more unsure of herself than he’d ever seen her before. It bothered him to see the confident woman he loved feeling so insecure, and he vowed to make things easier on her if he could.

“I was just talking to Grai’s brother, Traze. He’s having a hard time with your traveling friends. Maybe you could give me some advice I could pass on,” David suggested.

He casually leaned against the headboard. Even though he felt anything but relaxed with his beautiful wife standing in front of him in nothing but a thin nightgown. Jodi’s answering smile tugged at his heart.

“I can remember so many things more clearly now, and I can tell you that each of them is wonderful, generous and kind people. He’s in good company, he just needs to give them a chance,” Jodi promised, shifting her feet nervously back and forth.

David saw the way Jodi looked ready to bolt from the room, and he gestured to the end of the bed.

“Sit for a minute, there’s something I wanted to ask you,” David said, praying she would as his mind scrambled for a question that would keep her there.

It wasn’t that he didn’t have a million things he wanted to know. Jodi just took his breath away and apparently his mind too, and David couldn’t think of anything as he waited to see if she’d sit down.

“We do have a lot to talk about,” Jodi whispered with a sigh as she sat slowly on the end of the bed.
