BORN OF FIRE

97

She gave him the little pout she used on Phelix to swing him around to her way of thinking. "Please finish telling me your story."

Sighing, he shook his head, then kissed the tip of her nose. "School was expensive and the Mothers were misappropriating funds on my behalf. I began to fear that they would be caught and punished. So I decided to use the one gift my father had given me."

"Filching for major companies?"

He nodded.

"Shame on you," she said, clucking her tongue.

"I know. But if you knew the High Mother, you'd know why I started. Had she ever caught them, she would have tossed them in prison without a second thought. I assure you they would never have survived."

"But you did."

"Barely. If not for Digger, I'd be dead now."

Maybe it was his story or maybe their close proximity, Tyra wasn't sure what had made her suddenly so bold. But before she could stop herself, she reached out and touched the stubble on his cheek.

He smiled.

Embarrassed, she dropped her hand and thought to distract herself. "So how did you meet Alexei Gourinov?"

He picked her hand up and toyed with her fingers. The circular motion of his fingers against hers sent electrical waves up her arm and straight to the center of her body.

Admitting he was probably right, Tyra sighed at the pleasure coursing through her. "Tell me about Sheridan Bela."

His entire body turned rigid. His eyes returned to their normal frigid state and he pulled her hand away. "What?"

A wave of embarrassment consumed her. "I saw your doctor's certificate." His breathing intensified with the anger that flickered in his eyes. "Why were you searching my things?"

And before she could speak, he answered for her, "That was a stupid question. You were looking for a weapon."

Tyra nodded. "So how did you become Sheridan Bela?"

Something strange passed between them then, a shared flickering heat that she couldn't define. Tyra realized then that she was probably the only person he’d ever told about this part of his life. It made her feel so...
