Sevda indulged herself in a long, hot shower after they returned to the cabin. Like everything else on her ship, the shower facilities were cramped and utilitarian. Raze’s cabin, and his shower, were luxurious by comparison.

When she finally shut off the water and drew back the simple waterproof curtain, she discovered that Raze had left a fresh pair of thick, felted wool socks and a comb on top of the towel she had left out for herself. Beside the towel was the med-kit she had requested Eddi send to her.

She popped a pain-blocker, treated her cuts and bruises, and considered the man who had saved her life yesterday. She was drawn to him, but it wasn’t only because of his looks, or the fact he’d saved her life. Maybe it was because they had things in common. More likely it was because she’d be leaving soon. Their time together had a built-in expiry date, so why not enjoy what time they had to the fullest?

Raze was stubborn and prickly, but she suspected that was a façade he used to push people away. If he really didn’t care, he wouldn’t have been around to pull her out of the water yesterday. He had walked all the way down to the valley floor to check on a total stranger during a dangerous storm. Whatever his reasons for living in complete solitude, it was obvious he believed it was necessary. She was something of an expert at keeping everyone at a distance, herself. At least, she had been.

By the time she had left the Torex orphanage, she had learned that the only one she could depend on was herself. No one could hurt or disappoint her if she didn’t let them get close. It was safest to stay closed-off and self-reliant.

In the years she had been a scout, she’d slowly discovered that it didn’t have to be that way. Sevda made friends with other pilots she crossed orbits with. Freighter jockeys and smugglers for the most part, but there were deep space mining crews and scouts like herself scattered across the galaxy.

They kept each other company on the long, dark voyages between the stars. When things went wrong, they did what they could to help, from rescuing marooned pilots to delivering spare parts. They watched out for each other, and they had shown Sevda that there were beings in the galaxy she could trust to have her back. Obviously, no one had ever been there for Raze.

She dressed quickly, spurred on by the tantalizing scent of breakfast. “Sexy, self-sufficient, mind-blowing lover, and he can cook. If only he wasn’t such a pain in the ass, he’d be perfect.” She barely got the door open before Raze spoke.

“I’m not even close to perfect, but I appreciate the compliment.”

“How did you—fraxx, cyborgs have enhanced senses, don’t they?”

He chuckled. “We do.”

“You could have reminded me,” she grumbled.

“But then I wouldn’t have heard your compliment.” He turned and gave her a slow, sexy smile that made her toes curl.
