Chapter Nine

When Sam awoke, Falke was by her side, sitting on the foot of the bed watching over her. She blinked, looking around her cabin. “How…?”

“You’re awake,” Falke said. The statement was oddly out of character for him and Sam briefly wondered at it. It wasn’t like him to state the obvious.

“How did we get off … were we on Ticaron?” Sam asked, blinking in confusion. Falke didn’t speak and slowly everything came back to her. Closing her eyes, she said, “My father. I should’ve known when he touched my cheek it wasn’t with affection. Thank goodness he didn’t get me to the coronation.”

“What would have happened if you had gone through with it?” Falke asked, and it was clear he’d been wondering about it for some time.

“I … I’d be his. He’d have complete control over me, my complete and utter compliance. Everything that he wants me to do now, I’d be doing for the rest of my life. When I discovered what would happen to me during the coronation, I asked … I found a ride off the planet.” Sam took a deep breath.

“Then, why did we go there?” Falke asked. His eyes were shaded as he watched her. His lips were pressed firmly together. “And don’t tell me for money. I know there was something else.”

Sam was still fuzzy with sleep and she had a hard time thinking of a good lie. She picked at her cotton shirt, wondering who’d dressed her. Blushing slightly, she figured it was Falke. She yawned and scratched the back of her head. Her hair was cut off at the shoulders. “What happened to my hair?”

“I thought you’d be more comfortable with it shorter,” Falke answered. “You seem to like it that way.”

Sam smiled softly. “Thanks, I do.”

“You didn’t answer my question,” Falke said. “Why were we on Ticaron?”

“Oh,” she mumbled weakly, “I just had to see something.”

“What?” Falke demanded. “To see if your father would try and bend you to his will again?”

“No, I already knew he’d try that. That’s why I had Evan keeping an eye out for trouble,” Sam answered, not meeting his steady gaze. “As soon as I heard him talking to you, I wanted to leave. He grabbed your arm before we could make a run for it.”

“That still doesn’t answer why you went.”

“Just … it’s none of your concern,” Sam stated. “I got what I needed and I’m never going back. It’s done.”

“I see,” Falke answered. Sam wasn’t sure just how much he did see.

“Is everyone…?” This time she did manage to look at him. He was so handsome. She loved his face, the strong line of his features. She loved the dark waves of his hair, the strength of his gorgeous body. Just seeing him made her hot and nervous. She wanted him, always wanted him. Her thighs tightened and her stomach tingled as longing built inside her.

“They’re all fine.” Falke stood from the bed. His eyes darted over her body and she saw his nostrils flare.
