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.
