Tannon Gi stood on the second level of the casino, leaning against the railing, and watching the crowd below.

“You have everything in hand?” a cool voice asked.

“We’re making the security arrangements.” Tannon glanced at the man standing beside him. “My team will ensure the party has the highest security.”

“Good.”

The man’s face didn’t change, and Tannon wondered just how much the cyborg felt. Jaxer Rone, second of the House of Rone, had several cyborg enhancements. His long, brown hair brushed the silver metal along his cheekbone. More metal was visible at the neck of his dark shirt. Tannon’s security reports on the man indicated he also had a high-tech prosthetic leg.

There was no doubt Jax was lethal and powerful, but Tannon had also seen the man smile. The same couldn’t be said of Jax’s imperator. Magnus Rone was the epitome of the perfect cyborg, even though he’d mated with a human survivor from Earth and they had a newborn daughter.

Tannon assumed these cyborgs could control their emotions or were good at hiding them. His hand curled around the railing. He understood just how useful that skill could be.

“I have no doubt the party and security will be first-rate, Tannon.” Jax nodded. “Thank you. The House of Rone and the House of Galen are looking forward to the celebration.”

Tannon raised a brow. “I’m guessing the House of Galen gladiators more so than your cyborgs.”

Jax flashed a smile. “Magnus has ordered them all to attend. Most of them are…wary. Still, the most excited attendees will be the women of Earth.” The cyborg shook his head. “Those women need very little excuse to throw a party.”

Tannon figured that after being stolen from their planet by alien slavers, transported to the other side of the galaxy, and then rescued by alien gladiators, the women deserved to celebrate.

“We’ll see you soon,” Jax said.

Tannon nodded. As the cyborg left, Tannon looked back at the casino crowd.

He liked standing up here watching the people. He could see all the comings and goings in the casino, and get a good feel for the crowd. It made it easier to detect any early signs of trouble.

Rillian trusted him, and Tannon would never let his boss down.

He owed Rillian. The man had given Tannon a job—no, a life—when he’d needed it.

“Sir?”

He turned and saw one of his black-uniformed security team standing behind him. “Adif.”

“I have the security update.”

Tannon nodded. “Go ahead.”

The young man lifted a slim, translucent screen and started rattling off a summary of the security issues from the last few hours. As he listened, Tannon continued to scan the crowd below.

His gaze snagged on Mina.

His lips firmed. It was like she possessed some force that pulled at him. He could pick her out in the crowded room in seconds, even though she was the tiniest person in there.

He thought she was gorgeous.

He’d tried to fight his reaction to her. His entire life had been about denying his own gratification. He’d always been told his greatest skills were his patience and doggedness.
