Chapter Nine

Stag noted the way Nala moved after she’d exited the cleansing unit and took a seat on the bed. “Tender?”

She seemed surprised at his question when she looked up. “I thought you weren’t talking to me. You showered, dressed, and just pointed for me to do the same.”

“Answer me.”

“A little.”

He might have been too rough with her. “Do you need a medic? Are you hurt?”

“You’re big. I think a few muscles got pulled last night. It’s not exactly like I’m used to having sex, especially that much of it at once. But I’m fine.”

“Any bleeding?” The thought bothered him. She was an Earther. And a small one, at that. He should have been more aware of her frailties.

“No.”

“Did you check?”

“I’m fine, Stag. Stop, or I’ll think you care about me. You wouldn’t want that.”

“I’ll have food brought to you. I need to go on shift. Today, we’re leaving the dead zone.”

She stood. “What are our chances of actually getting out?”

“Good.”

“Is that the truth?”

“I don’t lie.”

Her eyebrows arched, as if she didn’t believe him.

“You’re on a ship with cyborgs. We’re careful with our calculations.”

“You’re saying you’re smarter than all the other people who have been lost out here, right?”

“Yes.”

“I’ll buy that. Will you com me and let me know how it goes?”

“I’ll return when my shift is over.” He spun toward the door. It opened but Nala grabbed his wrist with both of her hands. He halted and turned, staring at her. “What?”

“Can I go with you?”

“No.”

“Your hours are always different. You could be gone a really long time. I don’t want to just pace around your room and worry. Please?”

“No.”

“Have a heart. Actually, I know you have one. I’ve heard it beat. There’s nothing to do in here. You don’t have books, no entertainment system, nothing. You say you don’t want to be cruel to me, so allow me to go with you. I’ll be on my best behavior. I’ll worry and go nuts just pacing in here.”

He stepped away from the door, pushing up against her, and it closed them inside. “Why would you worry whether we get out of the dead zone or not, when you’re confined to my quarters either way?”

“I’m going crazy in here. Ever hear of confinement sickness? I spent a lot of time in my quarters on the Pride but I had things to occupy my time. I know you don’t want anyone to know we’ve done more than just sleep together on your bed. Is that it? I could have told Maze, but I haven’t. And I won’t. Your secret is safe. Please let me go with you.”

“For what purpose?”

“There are three hundred and twenty-six tiles on your ceiling. I know. I’ve counted them more than once. I can tell you how many drawers I’ve found that aren’t clearly defined. I’ve touched every part of the walls where I could reach. Not to snoop through your stuff, since most of them are locked, but because I had nothing else to do. I’m going crazy, Stag.
