Kraft slapped the com and closed her bedroom door. After chucking her boots off, she curled up on top of her bunk, but couldn’t sleep. Why was doing the right thing so damn hard all the time? Honor compelled her to be his whore should he demand it, and a part of her wanted him to demand it. She wanted Jace to haul her to his bunk with no questions asked. She’d like him to enforce that kissing contract to pay him off, but he wouldn’t. She knew that. Jace wouldn’t force any woman to his bed, not by contract or strong-arm tactics.

Kraft wanted to go to his bunk. “Tell you what, I’m amazed I haven’t hauled that man to the floor and had my wicked, wicked way with him.” She’d wanted to undress him like a fancy-wrapped gift since the moment she laid eyes on him, but she would only go to his bunk if he demanded it.

“Doing the smart thing is hell.” Kraft knew if she went once, she’d never leave. Counting on the fact of Jace’s honorable heart, she challenged him, knowing he would take the high road. He wouldn’t force her. A part of her longed to submit to every naughty whim he could concoct, but the smart part feared the emotional enslavement that would ensue.

She held to only two things. Honor dictated her actions, her code. The other didn’t dictate as much as it compelled sacrifices.

“No power in the Void can rob me of love lest I allow it.”

Only by her own heart could she grant it. Kraft granted it to her crew. She loved them dearly, deeply. She would have died for them. She lived because of them.

And now a man who accepted that she could best him but wouldn’t, a man who wanted her more because of it, a man who wouldn’t force her but could compel her—Jace didn’t know it, but so far, he was the most dangerous man she’d ever met. He could best her. He just didn’t know how.

Kraft wasn’t about to tell him. It wouldn’t take much to enslave her heart and soul to him. One kiss would seal the deal. She knew it as sure as Jace knew she could break every limb in his body if he tried to force her to kiss him.

“I’ve got to get off this ship.”

She slept fitfully.

In the morning, she entered the galley to find Garrett walking wounded from the party the night before. She couldn’t resist teasing him.

“Got a hangover?”

He grumbled something unintelligible.

“Want another beer?”

Garrett looked up with a face tinged green.

“Would some lukewarm pork help?”

He covered his mouth like he was on the verge of blowing chunks.

“Don’t pick on him.” Heller slapped Garrett’s back. “I think he’s learned his lesson.”

“I’ll never, as long as I live, ever do that again.” Garrett cupped his head in his hands and curled to the table.

“Have you done it before?” Kraft readied the kitchen equipment and food.

“Yes.”

“Then you’re apt to do it again.”

Kraft created a huge breakfast, but made a special drink for Garrett.
