A warm, wet cloth between her thighs woke her briefly, but soft kisses on her neck and shoulders eased her back into sleep as arms twined around her.

She sat up and clawed her hair out of her eyes. Her body ached pleasantly, but her partner was nowhere to be found.

Sighing, she got up, found her robe and pattered out of Truanic’s bedroom and down to the kitchen.

He was making breakfast and had a cup of caf on the heater.

She grinned. “Good…”

“Afternoon.”

She nodded. “Right. Well, did you get some sleep?”

He laughed. “I did. Thank you for your advice on sleep aids.”

“It was my pleasure. If you don’t sleep, you are not an efficient bodyguard. I have to think of my own safety.” She snagged the cup of caf and took a seat, making sure that her robe was closed.

“Very forward thinking of you.” He grinned and slid her breakfast in front of her.

She sighed in relief. He wasn’t being weird or clingy. Things felt blessedly normal, though he was in a much better mood than the previous day.

Jayd nibbled at her food and tried to arrange her day in her mind. She needed to make a report on where Ms. Keeys had obtained her deadly infection. The Xa were creating more and more of the designer infections, and they needed to be stopped. They operated outside the regular imperium territories and since the end user was the one held accountable, the designers got away without any penalties. It frustrated the hell out of Jayd.

“What has put that frown on your face?”

“The Xa. I really want to pin them down on the design of that disease, but they always slip free.” She poked at her food before settling in to eat.

“The Xa created that case?” He ate his own portion but drank tea instead of caf.

“Her mind was filled with images of the design station. I have seen it before and it always makes me a little cranky.” She shrugged and finished her meal.

She put her plate in the cleanser and returned to the table, sipping at her cup.

“I suppose I should get dressed.” She noted that he was in casual clothing.

“Don’t do it on my account. I enjoy the suspense of seeing where the fabric will shift next.”

She blushed and finished her caf. “Right. That settles it. Clothes it is.”

He laughed and she double-checked her robe before heading to her room.

She took a quick solar shower before putting on her silky top and matching trousers. Once her hair was confined in a ponytail, she felt a little more in control and less like a giggling girl with a crush.

Smacking her blush mentally, she headed for the com centre. It was time to make a call.
