Dare slowly opened her eyes, still dazed. She stared up at an enclosed ceiling. By the sound and feel of things, she lay in a ship.

She opened her senses but didn’t smell anything familiar. Groaning when she opened her eyes wider, she flinched at the dim light and blinked to clear her vision.

She looked around and saw nothing but cream-colored walls and a dark flooring. The large bed in which she lay felt comfortable despite its utilitarian design and sat flush against a wall. Opposite the bed she noticed a storage door. An entryway appeared next to the storage door and was flanked by a small desk and chair.

Under the covers, she found herself garbed in a soft, flowing robe made of Nexian silk. Had a Nexian rescued her on Kre? That didn’t seem right. She recalled her crew, the pirates, and… Hels. Legionnaires. She looked around the room again. No Nexian would allow such a cold, uninteresting room aboard a ship.

Slowly, she sat up and swung her feet to the floor, not surprised to see them bare.

She sat on the bed, for the life of her not understanding what had happened since she’d passed out. When suddenly the door next to the desk opened.

She swallowed a lump in her throat as Ren stood before her. He crossed his arms and looked her over. His tall frame filled the doorway, and the unforgiving planes of his face made him appear more the pirate than lawman.

She took in the sleeveless tunic that left his thick, muscular arms bare to scrutiny.

Unlike herself, she saw several wounds still healing on his upper body. Though small, they must have been painful if caused by Olm blades. She continued to look him over before their gazes met. His amusement made her blush. The bastard.

“Would you perhaps like me to turn around for a better view?” he asked dryly.

“Where am I?” Dare refused to give in to the urge to scoot back on the bed and tuck herself into a small ball when he neared.

He looked too pleased with himself, his eyes growing dark, the smirk on his face unbelievably attractive. “You’re on board the Eyshan6, and my prisoner.”

“The others? Where are they?”

He sat down in the chair by the desk, overwhelming the room with his powerful presence. “Your friends are aboard the SpaceStalker and even now move toward Bylar to await trial for treason.”

“Treason? What in stars for?”

“For standing in the way of Legion business.” He stared thoughtfully at her. “Why didn’t you just come clean and tell me that you’re the Mari?”

Dare snorted. “Oh sure, when you wouldn’t tell me or my crew why you wanted this ‘Mari,’ when it’s a known fact you people kill anything related to the Fenturi. Why wouldn’t I admit to being the one you sought?” Ren’s jaw clenched, and she smiled. “What’s the matter? Truth hurt?”

“Look, you little Fenturi witch,” he said, his anger apparently not quite under control. “The System needs your help. By the Goddess you will give it, or your friends won’t live long enough to hear you say no.
