Chapter Seven

She found him in the gym. Trey looked exhausted and if Tee-ani had to guess, she’d say he’d been working out the entire three hours he’d been gone. She’d fallen asleep in Ben’s arms, but had woken feeling edgy and anxious. Ben had taken one look at her face, kissed her forehead, and whispered the words she needed to hear, “Go to him. He needs you.”

She’d been so anxious to get to Trey, she’d almost left the room completely naked. Ben’s sexy smile and quiet words had reminded her that dressing would be a good idea and then he’d suggested she begin her search in the cargo bay currently set up as a workout and training area.

Uncertain of her welcome, Tee-ani stepped into the cavernous room and glanced around the area. Thankfully, they were alone.

“Trey?” Hell, was that really her voice? So soft and weak and unsure. She tried again, but before she could force the words past her rapidly tightening throat, he looked up. God, the anguish written on his face had her running straight into his arms. He pulled her close, pressed her face against his sweaty chest, and rocked her back and forth.

It took a moment for Tee-ani to realize that he was mumbling “I’m sorry,” over and over. She pushed both palms against his chest, trying to ease away from him, but he tightened his hold, so she ended up squirming and thrashing in his arms until he let go. He stepped back, but he wouldn’t look at her.

“Trey?” she asked again. “Trey, I need you to explain to me why you are so upset.”

His head shot up then, his gaze pinning hers, as a cross between a sob and a laugh escaped him.

“Why are you even talking to me?” The words were angry, but she somehow realized he was angry with himself, not her. She stepped forward and reached up to place her palm against the side of his face.

“Trey, I need you to explain it to me. Why did you leave?”

He stepped forward to haul her back into his arms, but she took a step back and raised her hand in protest. Dammit, she wanted an answer. If he thought incredible sex gave him the right to tell her what she could and couldn’t do, well, he could think again. He just stood there looking as confused as she felt.

“Trey! I am going to rescue G’baena with or without your help. Are we clear on that?” She fisted both hands on her hips, adrenaline coursing through her at the thought that he would try to stop her. Well they weren’t on G’trobia. She was an independent human female, and there was no fucking way was she going to start acting like anything less now.

“You think this is about rescuing G’baena?”

She froze at his soft words. What the hell? Okay, now she was more confused than ever. If it wasn’t about the rescue mission, then what the hell was it about? She couldn’t decide whether to nod or shake her head.
