CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

Resan

IT DIDN’T take Arin long to join me in bed. He was back to wearing the same low-slung black lounge pants that everyone in Asiq wore. So was I. I was catching up on the news on my holoscreen when he came in and silently lay down beside me with his back to me.

“Careful now, people will really start to question whether or not we’re together if they find out you like sharing my bed.”

He laughed a little but didn’t turn over to face me. “No chance of that. Everyone in Asiq knows I can’t stand you.”

That was news to me, and it was far more interesting than what I was currently reading. I put my holoscreen aside. “Really? And why’s that?”

He rolled over onto his back and looked up at me with his hands crossed over his stomach. “Because you’re arrogant enough to think that nearly everyone in Asiq wants to be with you.”

I was about to deny it when he continued. “If I had just sucked your dick once or twice, you would have never known I was avoiding you. Because I kept my distance and never came on to you, you then decided that there had to be some big thing going on. You were right, but still, it proves your arrogance.”

He was right, which didn’t make me feel very good at all.

“You’re not wrong, by the way. Most of the guys here love fucking you. Made me jealous sometimes to hear them talk about how absolutely wonderful you are in bed. Especially if I’d just been with a client who was less than good.”

I lay down next to him and put my arms under my head. “We’re screwed. You know that, don’t you? Having black hair isn’t going to fix anything. It might not even matter. The peacekeepers know you killed him. When they can’t find you, then they’ll hire bounty hunters to do it for them. And bounty hunters don’t stop. They can also look for you everywhere. Your best solution would be to be dead right now.”

He chewed on his lower lip. “If I was, would that make it so that none of them went after you?”

I wasn’t in too much trouble right now. I’d checked the peacekeeper news channels to make sure of that. “As far as anyone knows, I’m still looking for you. The official story is that I returned you to Bowman, I then bought you from him, you then killed him, and locked me in a room with his body while you were off stealing my ship. I bought a new ship to go after you, and I haven’t been able to find you since.”

“So if I was dead, things would be okay for everyone. Right?”

“Sure. But that isn’t an option, so let’s just leave it.” We were wasting time even talking like that.

But Arin rolled over onto his stomach next to me. We were facing each other now, and I hated how excited he looked. “I have an idea.
