Darcy was working in the bowels of the ship the next morning, trying to double-check the placement of the part Daxon had installed himself at SDS, when she realized she was probably being too hard on the Xylan male who wanted to be her mate.

Ugh.

She dropped her tools into a nearby tray and huffed out a sigh as guilt heated her gut.

Last night she’d yelled at him. Told him that she wasn’t ever going to accept his touch.

But she was here, in her element, doing the work she loved because of Daxon. He was the one who’d given her this occupational clothing—he’d given her these socks and cut up and reworked a pair of his own shoes to reasonably fit her, so she didn’t have to walk around bare foot or in high heels anymore. He hated her heels and said they were dangerous and stupid, and he didn’t understand why she’d wear such a thing.

A man who didn’t want her wearing high heels or walking around half naked?

She let out a snort.

She was now wearing two layers of tunic and a pair of his trousers with the legs rolled up twenty times and an enormous belt keeping it all together. It wasn’t the best and she was sure she looked silly in the whole thing, but still it was good enough for her to work in.

He’d given her all of these clothes yesterday before he’d let her out on her own to look around his ship, wanting to make sure she was safe and secure in proper work clothing before he’d walked away from her to do his own work on the bridge.

She reached forward and recalibrated a sensor and pursed her lips, remembering how Daxon had claimed the ship had told him she was his mate, that the computer had been able to drill down into her genetics and identify her as someone’s mate.

Last night she’d tossed and turned, wondering—was he right? Was this ship that sophisticated? She trusted computers and machinery more than she trusted sentient beings. Machinery had no ulterior motive, it simply followed prescribed tasks and routines and spit out the proper information.

Because she was such a disbelieving bitch, she’d checked the security log for evidence to support Daxon’s claim, and sure enough there it was, exactly what he’d claimed. Next to the time/date stamp it literally said in red letters: Mate. Along with an outline of their genetic pairing and a true lock vid of her arrival. Yes, this was why she’d been allowed onto the ship and into his bunk in the first place, and why even now the computer easily allowed him to log her in and give her administrative access to the Bounty Hunter ship’s systems. The security system trusted her that much. Daxon trusted her that much.

He’d inhaled her scent, known that the computer had let her in, and that was all he’d needed to know.

And meanwhile she’d been pushing him away and going on and on about how she was leaving him the first chance she got.
