Chapter Ten

Errol watched Hadiza pull on her cold gear, tying down her hair, disappearing the exquisite shape of her enticing body, cloaking her scent beneath the metallic thermal fibers. At last, she draped the thermal scarf over her head. Her big, dark eyes met his as she wrapped the long end over her face.

The after-image of her gaze still burned in his minds eye, and as he stared at the shapeless, gear-swathed figure, want still gnawed at him. After the conversation they’d just had, the feel of her skin, the nearness of her face—her mouth—his self-control was razor thin. He couldn’t put hands on her again. Her scent was inside him, coursing through his blood, filling his mind with evil suggestions.

She wants you. Just a kiss, and she’s yours.

He could kneel in front of her, pull that scarf away from her beautiful face, press his lips to hers, let nature destroy the barriers between them. Let his conscience and her happiness become forgotten concerns.

Take her. Claim her. Fill her with your seed, get her with your child. Make her yours forever. She wants it.

“Ready?” Hadiza asked, jarring him from his toxic thoughts.

“Yes.” He turned away from her, releasing the door locks, and stepped into the bracing cold. He inhaled deeply, savoring the razor-sharp burn in his lungs, the raw blaze over his skin. It clarified his mind and chased away the feverish skin hunger.

And yet, even with the bracing cold, his mind was a storm. Ecstatic joy and crushing melancholia blurred together into an emotional chaos that squeezed his chest until he couldn’t breathe.

She was attracted to him.

Without the toxin.

Just on her own, she wanted him.

How?

Didn’t matter.

But—

She didn’t want to stay with him. When he’d laid it out for her—stay with me forever, or return home—she’d simply nodded and accepted the plan to get her back to her own kind.

What had he really expected? They’d only known each other for a brief time. And despite the fact that she had the poor judgment to be attracted to him, she clearly had enough sense to recognize an emotional blackhole when she saw one. The only thing she wanted from him was sex, and he was on the verge of giving it to her—and using it to trap her.

You can’t help but be a brute, can you, boy? You’ll never be anything but a monster.

With a frustrated growl, he tried to shove that old ghost away.

“Are you okay?” Hadiza asked, her head tilting beneath the cover of the thermal scarf. He felt her eyes on him, and kept his gaze pinned on the alley ahead of them.

“Fine. Let’s be quick.”

At the shop, he found the same grizzled old Scaeven sitting behind the counter, fussing with the articulated arm of a soldering bot. The proprietor looked up, and the frustration in his expression flattened to something grim and suspicious.

Errol kept his pace even, but his senses went on high alert. He maneuvered Hadiza to stand behind him, using his big body to block her from both the open door and the other male.
