Chapter 6

Renie watched in fascination as Tres stood on the bench in

his cell and scored a square in the ceiling with his claws. What

was he planning to do? She jumped back when he punched

the centre of the area he had marked and the entire section

buckled under the force of the strike. She hadn't expected

such a slim man to be so strong. He was stronger than her

brother was and Tres was half Rezic's size.

Before she could ask what he intended to do now, Tres fell

forwards so his hands pressed into the floor and then

disappeared feet first through the hole in the ceiling. She

stared, mouth agape, stunned and trying to figure out what

had just happened.

She added acrobatic to the list of things she was

discovering about him since fixing his thermal suit. It was

little wonder the commander had broken it. Keeping Tres

contained seemed impossible. It had taken him only seconds

to break free.

His hand reappeared through the hole and then his head

followed.

"Come on," he said and flexed his fingers, as though trying

to encourage her.

She didn't need any encouragement to follow him. She

was beginning to think that she would follow him wherever he

went. Perhaps she could encourage him to join her and her

brother. The thought of parting company with Tres was

strangely painful.

Renie stood on the bench, reached up and took hold of his

hand. A squeak of surprise left her when he effortlessly

hauled her into the dim duct.

"We must move fast." He turned and began crawling along

the narrow duct.

Renie crawled along behind him, trying not to stare at his

backside but finding it impossible as they moved further and

further into the ship. He had a nice behind and narrow hips

that slowly tapered out into his shoulders. Although he was

slim, he was strong. The thermal suit he wore was as tight as

a second skin and emphasised his compact muscles in a way

that made her imagine him naked.

Her entire body ached at the thought of him nude.

She wondered if he had imagined her naked too. He had

asked whether she had ever been with a man after all. There

had to be a reason he was asking her and why he wanted to

know more about her. His reaction to her touch was another

thing. She had seen the way his pale blue pupils had dilated

when she had taken his hand and heard the stifled inhale of

breath when she had touched his ears. He acted as though

her touch was electric. Perhaps it was just because he was

cold blooded, but something inside her said that it was more

than that. Did he feel the same intense need as she did

whenever they touched?

He seemed the adventurous type and she couldn't deny

that she was attracted to him. If they made it off the ship,

maybe he would join her and her brother in exploring the

galaxy. Maybe.

She would do anything to convince him.

She liked the sound of that.

He turned a corner and by the time she had made it there,

he was gone.
