Chapter Ten

Nyx ignored the whispers around her as she geared up for their next recon mission. She slipped on a holster and set her pistol inside before walking over to another table covered with other gear: tactical belts, knives and a few other useful tools.

“Nero…” she heard someone whisper. She could make out what they were saying if she wanted, she just didn’t bother. It wasn’t like hybrid super-hearing was necessary to figure out what they were talking about.

She wasn’t surprised by their attention. They could smell him on her. Hell, several of the men had likely seen Nero carry her home.

When she’d awoken late morning, she was in her bed. She sure as hell didn’t remember walking back in the dark and that only left one possibility. Part of her could understand. It’s not like he could have just left her in the water in the cave, but dealing with the stares and whispers was pissing her off.

The damn pain killers. Sure, they’d done their job, but they also made her so tired, especially after their night-time activities. Not that she regretted the sex. She’d loved every second.

Nyx shifted where she stood and blushed at the soreness afflicting her center. Last night had been amazing. Being with Nero had ended up being a healthy serving of pleasure, far more than she’d ever experienced. And it wasn’t just the sex that had surprised her.

There had been a connection, an intimacy that finally broke through the walls both of them had put up. Or at least, she had thought there had been. When she’d awoken, the bed beside her was empty. She wasn’t even sure if he’d stayed the night or just dumped her off and gone home. Despite her bests efforts, she couldn’t remember anything clearly after falling asleep in the cave until waking up in her house.

Vaguely, in the back of her mind, she recalled curling around a warm body, but it could have been her mind playing tricks on her. It wasn’t exactly like Nero had stopped by at some point in the afternoon or even as they’d prepped for the evening’s scouting mission. He had plenty of opportunities, not like they lived in a sprawling metropolis.

She didn’t know what to make of his actions. After having sex and delving into his painful past, she would have thought he’d want to spend some time talking with her the next day and not avoid her. He’d spent so much time watching her and wanting her, but now that he’d been with her, he was keeping his distance.

To be fair, Nyx couldn’t be sure he was avoiding her. She hadn’t gone out of her way to track him down herself. Maybe some of this was her own fault. She rubbed the bridge of her nose. The whole situation was confusing and irritating.

She glanced over to where Nero stood talking with Lucas. The easy-going hybrid seemed more willing than others to at least try and make nice. Not that Nero was talking much, but he hadn’t run Lucas off, and she counted that as a sign.
