Chapter Twelve

Felice didn’t speak as Kieran tugged her by the hand through the narrow, unshaded alleys and crowded and covered markets. Again, he seemed to know the best ways around the patrollers and their routes. But then, he’d walked these streets for years, probably knew by heart every step the patrollers took.

Felice’s heart was still thumping strangely. No one, but no one had been this protective of her, this caring, in years. Whenever an indentured worker got hurt, they were taken to a medic, true, but only so they could be patched up as quickly as possible and sent back to work.

For all his hard words, Kieran wanted to help her, and not because she could give him anything in return. Felice hadn’t given him a damn thing so far, yet he’d fed her, clothed her, protected her, pleasured her.

Felice squeezed his hand. Kieran was large and strong, and could be frightening, but her affection for him was increasing every moment.

Kieran looked down at her at the squeeze, and then one of those sinful Shareem smiles spread across his face. Felice wanted to melt right here in the street, his smile hotter than the desert sun.

They reached a part of town that had very little traffic, foot or vehicle. Warehouses abounded, and shade was nowhere. At this time of day—midafternoon—wise Bor Nargans stayed inside where it was cool.

Felice said nothing when Kieran led her inside a large, empty open warehouse. Asking him out loud where he was taking her would be foolish, even in this seemingly abandoned area. One never knew who was listening.

There was absolutely nothing in the warehouse, though. If Felice had been alone, looking for a place to hide, she’d not have chosen this building. The enormous doors were wide open—dry-rusted that way, it looked like—and most of one wall had crumbled away. A few moments out of the sun would be the best this place offered.

Kieran walked to the middle of the empty floor. He paused, as though looking for something, then he turned and strode back to the entrance. Felice, still holding his hand, had to jog to keep up.

When Kieran reached the edge of the warehouse, he swung around and started for the middle again. Felice bit back her questions, but when he made for the entrance and then back to the middle a third time, she couldn’t stay quiet.

“What are you doing?” she whispered.

“I never know where it is,” Kieran said, sounding frustrated. “And he doesn’t always want me to know.”

“He, who?”

Kieran growled at empty air. “He’s trying to make me want to walk away, but he should know me better than that.”

Felice wished she knew what the hell he was talking about, but she also realized questions right now were useless. She took a tighter hold of his hand and waited.

Kieran addressed the space in front of him. “Let me in. I’m not going away. We have to hide her. Rees said.”

Something shimmered about six feet to Kieran’s right. Felice snapped around to look at it, but the shimmering vanished as swiftly as it had come.
