Chapter 7

Damon muttered “Fuck” a few more times between rolling off Michonne’s hot body, yanking on his pants, fabricating a new shirt, and doing a quick toiletry session. As he emerged from the ablutions room, it didn’t help to see her rosy-cheeked in his bed, her hair spilling over her naked shoulders.

“You’re leaving again?” she asked.

“You heard the computer. Work.”

“Can you at least give me permission to exit your quarters?”

“What are you talking about?” Only as soon as he asked, he knew. “Shit, you couldn’t leave the room yesterday. No wonder you were so mad. Fuck. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to do that. Computer, allow Michonne full access to my quarters.”

“Thank you.” The smile she gave him went right to his cock—his poor blue balls just sobbed.

“Uh.” Yeah, that was what the smooth first mate managed to say to the woman who’d come so gloriously on his tongue not that long before. The reminder didn’t help his frustration situation.

Which might have explained his scowl when he entered the bridge to see the captain had called most of his senior crew, which meant him as first mate, as well as the second mate, who usually worked an opposing shift to Damon. Which suited Lazarine just fine. She preferred the nocturnal hours on board. Both majors were there, being the chief medical officer, Karson, and that of the environment, Ivan.

Will I turn into Crank if I lose my wife? Probably not since she indicated he’d die soon after. Still, it did bring a moment of pause to wonder if she was right, that their arranged marriage could work and maybe he’d end up truly caring for her.

Aren’t I already starting?

“Thanks for gathering. I wanted to talk to you before we land.”

“Land where? We are still two days out from the way station.” Damon frowned.

“We need to make a pit stop first. Here.” Jameson waved his hand, and a holomap appeared. A pulsing red point drew the eye.

“You’re taking us to La’zuun. Since when do you gamble?” asked Karson.

La’zuun was an asteroid that thrived on vices. Especially those frowned upon by most evolved societies. Yet even the most educated and intelligent retained a somewhat primal need for the taboo and the violent.

Places like La’zuun with its gambling, arena for bloodshed, and boudoirs for seduction—and pain—filled the void. And made great credits doing so. They were also dangerous places where the wrong bet or move could see someone playing the part of the next victim in the arena.
