CHAPTER 11
Liza watched from the bed as the sky began to lighten. Despite her lack of sleep, she had a foolish smile on her face. Last night had been wonderful, so much better than she had ever expected. After her unfortunate experience with Gordon, sheâd never quite trusted another man enough to enter into a relationship. It didnât help that her father was equally untrustworthy. While he could be charming and she didnât believe that he truly intended any harm, sheâd learned at a very early age not to rely on anything he said.
It hadnât mattered as much when her mother was alive but for a twelve year old girl thrust onto an alien ship taking her away from everything she had ever known, it had been terrifying. He hadnât even lasted a month before being tossed in the brig for attempting to sell illegal alcohol and sheâd been left alone in the cabin. She cried herself to sleep every night for the month of his sentence, and heâd returned full of apologies and promises. That time heâd lasted two months before getting caught in another ill-judged scheme.
She learned to adapt. There were communal dining rooms so she never had to worry about going hungry. While she was too shy to make many friends, she eventually found a small group of other kids to hang out with. She also found odd jobs to do around the ship to earn a few credits of her own so that she never needed to depend on him again. The fact that he would forget her for hours or even days at a time was just one more painful reminder that no one could be counted on.
But somehow, despite her history and her determination to never fall prey to that trap again, sheâd been lulled by Harakâs brusque exterior, the intriguing combination of arrogance and unexpected kindness. It wasnât like she wanted someone to take care of her, she told herself, but it was nice to know that someone was looking out for her. The fact that he aroused her so easily only made it better.
The heat rose in her face as she remembered the feel of his hands on her skin, the way his big body had loomed over her, the sense of strength and power as he moved between her legs. The way heâd watched her as he sank into her body, his golden skin gleaming in the moonlight, his horns glittering.
Last night had been perfect, she thought happily, rolling over and burying her face in her pillow. And the only thing that could have made it better would have been if heâd stayed in her bed. Sheâd been half asleep when he rose from her bed, watching sleepily as he dressed and admiring his magnificent body. Although she wanted to ask him to stay, what had happened between them still felt too new, too fragile, and sheâd remained silent.
Heâd bent down to kiss her and despite her exhaustion, her arousal had immediately flared.
