Chapter Six

Ruby

The door clicked shut, leaving me alone with Killian. God, I’d forgotten how gorgeous he was. I pushed myself to my feet, took the few steps that separated us, wrapped my arms around his waist, and laid my head on his chest. I listened to his heartbeat, while I tried to work out the best way to tell him no.

However much I wanted to, I could no more go with him now than I could have stayed on the Helldiver the first time.

Nothing had really changed.

Except now, someone wanted me dead.

Before, I’d felt small and anonymous. Now I felt like I had a great big beacon flashing on top of my head.

But I still had to find Yolanda Pendleton, and hope that her fiancé, Rekowski, would get to us before the person who wanted me dead found some way to make me that way.

And then there was Sarah and the others. This wasn’t just about me. However much I yearned to fly away and forget all this, I couldn’t do it.

I took a deep breath and straightened, peering up into his face. He was wearing an eyepatch just like a proper pirate, and a smile tugged at my lips. Reaching up, I slipped the patch from his face, revealing the silver metal of his cybernetic eye. I stroked my finger down over the scar from his eye to his upper lip.

He cupped my face between his big palms and kissed me, gently this time. My mouth filled with the spicy taste of him, my nostrils with the slightly metallic twang of his body. The familiar scent heated my blood, and I stepped closer.

I couldn’t go with him, but I’d thought I’d never see him again, and here he was. Happiness bubbled up inside me.

I didn’t believe in love at first sight. I didn’t love Kill, but he made me feel alive. It was as if the universe was filled with limitless possibilities, as endless as space itself. And that maybe one day, all my dreams could come true.

“You think you’re safe here, but you’re not,” he said, pulling me from my happy thoughts.

“What’s the worst that could happen?” Anal sex with that huge dildo jumped to the forefront of my mind. I pushed it back. Never going to happen…I hoped. “I keep my head down, do what I’m told, and I’ll be fine.”

“You don’t know the sort of people you’re dealing with. They’re not like you and me.”

“They’re like Zak, and he’s a good guy.”

“Maybe. But Zak says his sister is prone to rages. When she was sixteen, she had one slave beaten to death. I’m sure there have been others since.”

“I’ll be careful. I won’t provoke her. It’s only until Rekowski turns up. He’ll be here soon.”

“What if he doesn’t come? What if he thinks you’re dead?”

I didn’t believe that. But was it just wishful thinking? “He doesn’t think I’m dead. He’ll come.”

“We won’t leave you here. Not this time. Not when we know someone is out to kill you.
