Shunyuan had tried everything he could to clear his mind. Meditation hadn’t worked. Push-ups and jumping jacks were completely ineffectual. Now he was trying martial-arts exercises. His body dropped fluidly from light stance into drop stance. Lotus stance and a series of straight punches were followed by a smooth transition into horse stance and several side punches. Along with the moves came a realization. He wasn’t going to be able to ignore the woman he was trying to escape.

She was somewhere near, watching him. Acia was also teeming with sadness and jealousy. Jealousy? Someone giggled. Oh the women.

He’d nearly said he would stay with her this morning. It had felt as if her heart were breaking. On the outside she’d appeared calm, but through their ever-growing bond he had sensed her heart splintering and shattering.

Shunyuan had felt then as he felt now. He was an ass for hurting her. It pained him when she was unhappy. He knew a simple touch or conversation would make her feel better. He and Acia hadn’t had much time to talk during the fervor. He was a decorated soldier, a good citizen and a public servant. He also felt as if he was the biggest jackass for not having a simple conversation with her.

He moved through his last pose and straightened. He grabbed his towel and walked out into the hallway. He headed straight for her. Acia straightened against the wall but didn’t run away. She did look hopeful as hell when she realized he walked toward her.

“Hello, Captain.” He kept his voice gentle.

“Shunyuan.” She looked down at the floor.

She was a pretty little thing, standing there in her skintight bodysuit and firearms strapped to her hips. Her skin glistened as though it held all the stars in the sky. Her hair lay over her shoulder in one long plait.

He reached out and slid his hand from her shoulder to her elbow. Acia raised her head and stepped closer. It was the best he’d felt all day.

“Can we walk?” he asked.

He didn’t release her elbow, only steered her away from where other people were congregated. Her smell enticed him to give up his resolve, pull her against his chest and devour her mouth. She would taste as sweet as the natural sugar- and flower-petal-infused scent of her skin. He needed a distraction.

“What made you decide to be a spaceship captain?”

“This.” She pulled back the sleeve on her left wrist to show the brand. “We were all taken together, my crew and I. Cheris and Berisa were teenagers. The rest of us were younger children. You know why they want exotics. Exotics are sex slaves. They stole us in advance of the fervor so our master would be able to take advantage of the first one.”

His stomach rolled. What grown men had stolen little girls waiting to rape them?

“Cheris protected us. She was our mother and big sister rolled into one. We traveled a lot. He and his kin took us on voyages, teaching us to run the ship.
