Kat

I’m certainly clean. Strykr’s version of bathing made absolutely sure that every inch of me was licked…I mean washed.

It has at least made the revelation that both Ike and I are the key to some sort of defense system for this entire planet a little easier to bear. A system that apparently the Gryn need to control as they are the defenders of the planet.

Which makes me one of them.

While Strykr’s made a good job of redeeming himself, concern rises in my chest like it always does.

What if I can’t do this? What if I can’t help them? What if he decides that I’m not worth bothering with?

Alone in this enormous room, the walls start to close in on me, heat rising, circling, and the ever-present darkness filling my mind.

“Kat?” For a second, I think it’s Ike calling me. The tiny robot kept me sane for so long on the station. But this time, I look into a pair of dark eyes. Strykr.

He takes my hand in his, onyx black claws gently curling around me.

“Kat!” He groans. “I can scent you. We don’t have time for mating. My unit will be waiting.”

“You can…smell me?” All my fears are dashed away with that revelation.

“You smell amazing to me, all of the time, and even more so when you want me,” Strykr says, not bothered in the slightest. In fact, he licks his lips, his rough pink tongue giving me naughty thoughts. “But sometimes it’s distracting.”

“Shit!” I genuinely don’t know where to look. “I’m sorry I smell.”

Strykr drops to his knees, and he’s nudging at my neck. “Don’t be. I can’t get enough of you. It keeps me from the fight. It keeps me from everything.”

His hands run over my body, and this time, the flood of heat I feel has nothing to do with fear. It’s the lust that my gorgeous alien predator brings out in me.

“You’re not helping if you do that,” I murmur into his fragrant feathers.

“I know.” He doesn’t release me, just stilling for what seems the longest time. A time I wish could go on forever. “My unit will be waiting for us,” he says as he releases me.

“Where are we going?”

“We have to make a stop at an underground lair we have in Mochi territory first. They have a mapping computer there that should give us a route and a fix to the control center.” The way Strykr pronounces computer is adorable.

“Exactly how long have the Gryn had access to tech?”

Strykr looks down at his hands, moving his fingers. “A few cycles? I’m not sure. I was liberated in the first wave after Proto fell. I’ve been free for around that time.”

“That’s not long,” I say, wrapping my hand around his.

“It’s not, but we can’t stay still. Lyon was sold as a slave to a species called the Drahon, so we know that there’s plenty out there that can and will try and take our planet, especially as Proto has gone. We have to get that defense system online, or we risk the entire planet being enslaved.
