Chapter 16

Callie was not in love with Rogar, infatuated yes, but not in love. She hadn’t known him long enough. He was hot, sexy, and yes, he’d been her hero. Dark, dangerous, and mysterious. She was sure he had some flaws somewhere, other than his cooking.

“You’re so in love with him,” DeeDee said.

“Am not.”

“Are to.”

“Callie,” Rogar bellowed from the other room.

She jumped to her feet. “Crap, I gave him one of my pain pills. It should’ve knocked him out and let him get a few hours sleep. He must be in excruciating pain.”

DeeDee raised her eyebrows. “You gave an alien a pain pill?”

Callie frowned as she hurried to the bedroom. “It never hurt me. I’m part alien.” Now that she thought about it, she’d never taken anything stronger than a Tylenol. There had never been a need. At the edge of the doorway, Callie skidded to a stop.

Rogar stood in the middle of the bed weaving back and forth, wearing only his briefs, and the large white bandage. At least it wasn’t blood soaked. “Where’s my weapon? How can I protect you if I don’t have a weapon?”

“It’s okay, we’re safe at DeeDee’s. Zerod won’t find us here.”

He seemed to think about that for a moment.

“You need to lie back down before you fall off the bed and hurt yourself,” Callie spoke softly so she wouldn’t startle him. From now on, no more pain pills.

“She’s right. Sit down, Rogar,” DeeDee told him as she came in behind Callie. “Apparently, he’s feeling better.”

In one movement, Rogar’s legs went out from under him and he plopped down on the bed, then laughed uproariously when he bounced. When DeeDee chuckled, Callie cast a glare in her direction.

DeeDee shrugged. “He’s funny. Besides, you gave him the pill, not me.”

“I didn’t know it was going to make him act all…goofy. What if his wound starts to bleed?”

“Callie, sweetheart, come lie beside me. I want to mate with you. I want to hear you cry my name out in ecstasy again.”

“Oh, this is serious if you cried his name out,” DeeDee commented.

Heat crawled up Callie’s face. This was not happening in front of DeeDee.

“I think I’ll leave you to get him settled back down,” DeeDee whispered. “Just do me one favor.”

“What?”

“Don’t have sex in my bed. It’s not a visual I want right before I go to sleep.”

Callie groaned as the door closed. Then she looked at Rogar, who was sitting in the middle of the bed, with a silly grin on his face.

“You need to get some rest,” she said.

He patted the bed. “So do you.”

She cocked an eyebrow. “I have a feeling sleeping is not what you have in mind.”

“You don’t trust me?”

“No.”

“Then I’ll stay up with you.” He swung his legs over the side of the bed.

“No! You could start your wound bleeding again. I’m surprised it isn’t now. Besides, you’re not that steady, and if you fall, I doubt DeeDee or I could get you back up again.”

She hurried over when it seemed he wasn’t paying a bit of attention to her.
