Chapter 6

Genoa inhaled David’s scent—all male arousal with a hint of possessiveness—and sighed. Clean and pure, it sent her head spinning every time she took a breath. She lay on the bed, the heat of their lovemaking still warming her skin as David ranted about the Gorgons who just drove up. Sighing, she sat up and looked around for her clothes. He was going to ruin a wonderful moment. She wanted to savor it. But with Gorgons out for her blood and a lover who didn’t look very happy with her at the moment, sometimes a girl just didn’t get any breaks.

“I mean it, Genoa. I save your ass this time, you owe me. I want to know just what they’re after.”

She slipped on her top and then pulled on her pants. “Okay. Fine.”

Refusing to look at him, she searched for her shoes.

“Don’t get that look. I mean it.”

When she didn’t say anything as she settled on the bed and pulled on her shoes, he exhaled. “Genoa, know right now, games like that don’t sit well with me.”

She looked up at him. He was fully dressed. His unbuttoned jacket was the only sign of their lovemaking. How had he changed so quickly from the lover she knew into the space cadet she hated? And why did she yearn to skim her fingers against his cheek?

“I’m not playing games. I never do, David. I meant what I said.”

His gaze bore into hers for a second, then he nodded. He gathered his weapons. “We have to get going. I don’t know what the hell we’re going to do about a place to stay, but we need to find some kind of shelter. Nights on either side of this planet can be especially brutal.”

She stood and followed him to the door. “I already told you. I have a…friend who lives on the other side. Not sure exactly where.”

David’s head whipped around. “A friend? Like Deras is a friend?” His sarcasm was back in full force.

“No. Like a ‘before I started working for the Federation’ kind of friend. Drake is a scientist studying something, I have no idea what. He’s part of that research lab they have up there in the Quathent Sector. He’d be a good choice for shelter. You didn’t detect him, and I am sure the Gorgons don’t know him, either.”

Raised voices sounded down the hall. David opened the door and leaned out. He turned to her, held his finger to his mouth, and grabbed her hand. After they slipped through the door, he pushed her in front of him, down the hallway in the opposite direction of the entrance to the hotel. He kept turning his head to watch for anyone following them as she led them down first one hallway and then the next. It took four turns before she found an exit.

Sliding in front of her, he opened the door, stuck his head out, and motioned for her to follow. The aquamarine moonlight cast an eerie glow on the street.
