Mercy

With eight days left of travel, things have become tedious on the ship. Damon, Amias and Cassidy all have jobs and tasks. Damon spends most of his time in the pilot’s chair, keeping one eye on the horizon and another on our tail. Despite his confessions to me the other night, his demeanor doesn’t change much. He’s focused on getting us to the meet-up location. After that? I don’t know what will happen.

He and Amias do take shifts manning the helm, while Cassidy’s mechanical engineering training comes in handy. She’s constantly tinkering, repairing or upgrading the ship.

This leaves me with little to do but wander the halls, trying not to worry about what comes next. I know I can trust both my Custo and Damon to get me to safety, but what comes after that? I’m still owned by the Master. Will he just let me go?

I mull this over in the laundry—a tiny room I found down a flight of stairs off the kitchen. It’s fairly primitive and it takes me twenty minutes to figure out where to put the packets of soap but I finally get the first load started. Realizing this is something I can help with, I walk down the hall toward the private quarters. Cassidy and Amias’ door is ajar. I press my hand against it and it opens wider.

My jaw drops.

The couple is on the bed, in the middle of a very intimate moment. And I’m not trying to be intrusive. I’m not, but my feet are frozen in spot—not because they’re making love but because I’m seeing Amias, a Trad, in his true form.

His perfection is still evident; hard, lean muscles spread across this bare back. But his skin is no longer human, instead shimmering with scales, red and orange, rolling with his movements. A long tail hangs from his backside, curving at the tip. Cassidy’s eyes are closed as he pounds into her, her breathy cries encouraging her mate to move harder—faster. I’m transfixed by the colors, the rhythm.

A deep groan brings me to my senses and I take a step backwards, banging my elbow into the hard metal door. Amias glances up and what I see is even more alarming; red eyes, curved protruding horns, sharp fangs.

“Sorry,” I whisper, bolting from the room.

My interruption doesn’t stop them because a moment later, over the thrum of my heart in my ears, I hear the sounds of their climax, echoing off the corridor walls.

The whole scene leaves me confused—overwhelmed. Their lovemaking was different; feral. Exciting, which disturbs me, because although I’ve come to understand that Amias may not be a bad person, he’s still a Trad. And I should be repulsed by him in an intimate setting. That’s not the case. Seeing them stirs a fire in my belly that, as the afternoon progresses, I try hard to forget. Not just because of the embarrassment of finding them that way, but because it makes me long for my Custo. I miss them. I miss being with them.
