Chapter Twelve

Shidan

Amara lies on her side next to me. Holding my head up on my arm I watch her chest rise and fall as I study her curves. Committing them to memory. She's perfect. Amara stirs but I remain still, unwilling to wake her. I don't want this moment to end. This time with her I can at least pretend she is mine. This time alone is what I need to show her how good our lives could be together. She is so strong. I think I'm understanding her. Maybe. She rolls onto her back and her eyes blink then open.

"Are you staring at me?" she asks.

"No," I say, my scales itch with the lie.

Amara rolls her eyes. "Yeah, right," she says, stretching her arms over her head.

The soft mounds of her chest compress as she stretches, the shirt pulls up revealing a hint of smooth, perfect, unscaled skin. I know how soft it is and my fingers tingle at the memory. My hand twitches as I resist my desire to touch her. She sits up, rolls her neck, then yawns. The suns are low in the sky and shadows are thickening through the oasis. I lean in closer to inspect her wounds but she slaps my hand away.

"What are you doing?" she asks, scooting away.

"Your wounds lyutik."

"I'm fine," she says, standing up. "What do we have to eat?"

I dig through my pack and find guster meat. Amara stretches then we sit down and eat.

"We should be to your ship before sunrise."

"Good," she says around a mouthful of meat.

We finish our meal then pack up our bags. I shoulder mine and hold out my hand offering to take hers. Amara stares at my hand until I drop it. I shrug and smile as she shakes her head. She hefts her pack onto her shoulders. As we turn to leave, I hear something. A whine, machine made, not natural. Its growing louder.

"Did you fill the water-" I put my hand on her mouth to silence her while straining my ears. "Hey! Don't yo-"

She cuts herself off now hearing the sound I already heard. Her eyes widen and her mouth snaps shut.

"Hide!" I hiss and she nods.

The oasis doesn't have sand I can bury us in. Looking around, I point to two trees that aren't too far apart. Amara runs for one and ducks behind it. The whine becomes a deafening whir as the machine comes closer. I move towards the sound. I hear Amara's sharp intake of breath but I have to know what we are facing. Flattening myself against a different tree I peek around to see the source.

Two Zzlo climb down off a land skimmer and walk into the shade of the oasis. They're both armed and dressed in their space leathers. They don't look around making me certain they're not looking for us. The two men talk with each other in their harsh, guttural language. Something snaps behind me. I whirl around and see Amara with her mouth open and eyes wide.
