Chapter Five

AT FIRST SARAH THOUGHT Nyxant had fallen over from exhaustion. That would have been bad, but on a scale of one to ten, it only rated a two and a half. But when she rolled to her side to get a good look at him, she saw that his face had lost a lot of color, fading from a magnificent deep purple to lilac.

That looked more like a seven.

She crawled over to him, the action much less painful than walking, and tried checking for a pulse. Only as her fingers hovered over his neck did she realize that he might have a completely different circulatory system than she did.

The moment of hesitation cost her. Nyxant’s hand clamped around her wrist and his eyes popped open, a demon lurking behind his irises. He snarled and growled, but when his eyes met hers, the monster bled out of them and his grip relaxed, though he didn’t let her go.

“Men have died for less, cavria.” The words were a threat, but the way he said that last word sent a pleasurable shiver down her spine. She wondered what cavria meant. If her translator hadn’t interpreted it, it meant there wasn’t a simple definition in English.

"You kill people who are trying to make sure you're alive? You sure are a bag of fun." She pulled her hand back and he let her go. She might have been crouched over him, but there was a coiled power inside Nyxant that made her think that if he wanted her to stay still, he could make her. She spied darkly bruised skin under a tear in his shirt, but sensed that he would not like her to touch him. Not yet.

"Life is full of danger," was his response.

"No shit." Sarah rolled back over to sit beside him. She pushed up her pant leg all the way to her knee to see the damage that the tentacle had done to her. It wasn’t pretty. A dark mark snaked up, the skin bruised and even more purple than Nyxant’s. No wonder walking had been so tough. She looked from her ankle to the alien beside her. "Thank you for saving my life," she said, suddenly serious. Seeing the injury hit home just how much danger she’d been in.

He was quiet for a long moment, his eyes deep with something dark that she could not describe. Another moment passed between them before he said, "You are the only other person here. If you die, I'll go mad for want of company."

The way he said want did things to her. Things that she couldn’t do with a bum leg and an injured man. But now there was something more than simple lust. If he’d propositioned her that morning, she would have slept with him. He was beyond hot and she’d had her eye on him for weeks.

Now things had changed. He’d saved her life, and she was beginning to spot a reservoir of something hidden beneath his warrior exterior. She wanted—needed—to learn more about this man.
