CHAPTER FIFTEEN

After Korjh punched the wall, he decided he would go into his private exercise room through the back of his weapon’s closet and hit his punching bag for a while. He thought everything was perfect with Zara and now she wanted to be alone. Was she changing her mind about sharing his life?

Zara was everything he ever wanted in a partner and lover. Just thinking about sex with her made him hard but he just kept punching the dummy. Korjh didn’t understand why she was pushing him away when they were so good together. He had done everything he knew to make her happy, but she wasn’t. He could only think that she was going to end their marriage.

But he couldn’t let her go. She was his.

If she wanted to be alone for a while, he would leave her alone. When he finished punching his dummy, he checked on the drone to see where Zara had gone. She was about a mile out and had stopped to drink the water he gave her.

When she was almost home, he used the secret exit from his exercise room and left the house, going out to the hangar to his aircar. Once he confirmed that Zara had gone into the house, he took the aircar and left the premises. Korjh had no real plan. Zara wanted to be alone, so he was leaving her alone.

What did he do that was so wrong? He had waited so long for a mate, and now that he had her he wanted to be with her all the time. Why did she not appreciate his attentiveness?

He just kept flying all night trying to decide how to handle Zara’s discontent. Twenty years as a warrior hadn’t given him relationship experience, and he never had any long-term romantic relationships to learn from. He had no friends who could advise him. He only had Zara.

The prospect of giving her space worried him. What if she used that space to find someone else? The very thought filled him with rage and anguish. Was that why she was unhappy now? Was being married to a cyborg not what she wanted?

All while flying aimlessly over the desert he went back over the events since Zara’s arrival trying to see what he could have done differently.

Korjh hadn’t detected any deception in what she said. But what had changed? She had seemed happier these last few weeks now they were regularly fucking. He certainly was.

Korjh arrived home about an hour after sunrise the following morning. He found Zara sitting at the little dining nook in the kitchen sipping coffee. She looked up at him warily.

“Korjh,” she murmured uncertainly. “I was worried.”

“You wanted time alone, so I left you alone,” he said evenly.

“Well, I just wanted to take a walk by my self---not spend the night alone wondering if you had been hurt or killed or were just not coming back,” she blurted. “You just wanted to punish me because I wanted an hour to myself.
