Chapter 14

I can’t sit on my bed for long.

That kiss has set my body on fire, and now I feel the lack of touch even more keenly than before. I need to feel loved, and Daezoth is the closest I’ve got to someone who can do that for me.

I stand, and begin to pace the tiny space; two steps to the door, spin, two steps to the wall, spin again.

He saved my life, twice. He could have left me for dead with those zombies, on either occasion, and he certainly didn’t have to carry me all the way back to his ship the second time, when I’d been bitten and was bleeding everywhere, slowing him down.

For all I know when we get to this ‘main ship’ of his, I’ll be rejected and sent back to Earth, to face goodness knows what sort of future, running from zombies, struggling to survive day to day. I might never find another living person again.

What does it matter if I agree to bond with him? What could it possibly hurt? Maybe it would be better for me, safer, if I arrived on the main ship already bonded with Daezoth.

I rush out of the room to find him.

He’s not in the main room, and I burst through the other door to find him sitting cross-legged on the floor, staring out at the universe.

He jolts as I enter, spinning around to gaze at me with wide eyes.

“I will bond with you.”

His mouth drops open. “Are you sure?”

I nod. “You’ve saved my life twice, Daezoth. I don’t know what the future will bring when we get to your ship, but one thing I do know, if I don’t take the most of this opportunity now I’ll regret it for the rest of my life.”

“Chayya.” Daezoth is across the room almost before I can blink. He takes my hands in his, his eyes searching out mine.

“Are you certain? You would bond with me?”

I hold his gaze as I bring a hand up to brush his hair from his face. “If it’s the last thing I ever do, I will die happy.”

Daezoth’s brow furrows.

Not the reaction I was expecting. I take a deep breath as he turns and points out the ship’s window.

In the distance there is the distinct shape of a space ship, just above the curve of the Earth.

“Is that your main ship?”

Daezoth nods, his adam’s apple bobbing as he swallows.

“They have realised I am no longer on the planet, Chayya. They have sent queries as to my status, and have requested I dock, instantly.”

“Instantly?” They look miles away. “How long do we have?”

He shrugs. “A couple of hours, at the most.”

“And what will happen then?”

Daezoth shrugs. “That is a question I cannot answer.”

I stare at the ship that could ultimately be my death. My heart pounds as I reach up to touch the side of his face, and pull his gaze back to mine.

“Then will you join with me, before they come?”

He grabs a pen from the nearby table, and takes my left hand.
