Selene sighed, unhooked her harness, and tossed it across the cargo hold. Her blood continued to boil with questions as she marched across the room to the door. It whooshed into the wall as she reached it, and Selene stepped through.

“Selene,” Rikkard said. He untangled himself from Eria and marched across the hold, taking her face in his hands and kissing her.

Warmth flooded every inch of her as Rikkard’s fingers slipped into her hair, and her lips pressed eagerly back against his. It might have only been a couple weeks since they’d seen one another, but after being part of the same team and working closely for more than three years, it felt like an eternity.

Wrapping her arms around his neck, Selene held Rikkard closely and kissed him until she was sure he understood how much she’d missed him.

The ship shook below their feet, and Selene stumbled. Rikkard’s arms wrapped around her, one hand braced on the wall to hold them up. They stared wide-eyed into each other’s eyes.

Right. They might not have escaped the work camp yet after all.

“I hate to break up the reunion…” Flik raised an eyebrow at both of them. “But I’m guessing we have some security in pursuit and you’re both kind of blocking the door.”

Selene looked back into the cargo hold, her cheeks heating as she realized the three of them had just been standing there watching them kiss. While Flik looked concerned, Darius grinned cheekily, and Eria had the look of an angry tiger ready to strike. Selene couldn’t help but smile, deriving some pleasure from Eria’s envious gaze.

“Right.” Selene lowered her arms, and Rikkard made sure she was upright before he stepped back. His gaze met hers again, warm with hunger. Biting her lip, Selene pushed away all thoughts of ripping off Rikkard’s clothes—easier said than done. She cleared her throat and turned toward the cockpit. “Rem, what the hell are you doing to my ship?” she called.

“It’s not my fault!” he shouted back.

Selene led the way back to the cockpit where several screens hovered above the console wrapping the nose of the cruiser. Rem glanced between the three-dimensional screens and the window, sweat dripping down his temples.

Lanny’s eyes were narrowed in concentration as he held onto the gun system command controls, his thumbs hovering above the red buttons atop the handles. His screen was far wider; giving him a one-eighty view of the landscape in whichever direction he turned the guns.

Six sleek silver speeders flashed across the screen, flying erratically to avoid Lanny’s shots. Laser fire flared from the gun, straight passed the coming speeders.

“Dammit, Lanny. It’s my turn.” Selene spun his chair away from the console.

His eyes flew wide as he quickly unbuckled himself and leapt from the seat. Selene took his place, spinning back to face the screen.

The handles were warm, and her hands became instantly clammy. She took a deep breath, and turned the gun left and right, getting a feel for the sensitivity of the sticks. Once she had it down, she aimed at the closest pursuing speeder.
