CHAPTER 5

Though Caera’s footsteps had made no sound on the soft sand as she approached the tank, Máelán knew she was there. He could feel her presence, could feel her hovering over the tank, watching him.

Annoyed, he lifted his head, fixing her with what he hoped was a vicious stare.

“Go away,” he growled.

She smiled, which only served to annoy him further.

“I said, leave. What part of that is difficult for you to comprehend?”

His face twisted into a sneer. “Or are you here to kill me and get it over with?” His arm throbbed, and although the bleeding had stopped, the pain was still strong enough to make him take deep breaths as he spoke.

“Is that any way to treat a woman you fucked?” She answered his question with a question, and Máelán felt whatever was left of his patience completely dissolve.

“Listen, woman.” He said the last word between gritted teeth, as if it were an insult. “I did what I did because I wanted to. Now, what I want 50

is to get away from this place, but seeing as that’s not likely to happen, I just want to be left alone.”

Caera shrugged, a look of indifference on her delicate features. The freckles on her nose stood out against her pale skin. She looked radiant, standing there in the sunlight, flecks of gold speckled throughout her red hair. The slow movement of her shoulders had made her breasts sway slightly, and Máelán groaned as he felt the familiar longing stir in his groin.

He had to stay angry. He had to.

Going soft and lovey-dovey wasn’t going to help him get out of here, and no matter how much this beautiful woman distracted him, he had to stay focused on his goal. Deciding he didn’t want to die was like having a weight lifted off his shoulders, yet since his only escape plan had failed so miserably, he couldn’t help but consider the possibility that his earlier wish would actually come true.

“Well, I’m not leaving,” she said, lifting a bucket from the ground.

Before he could protest, she started scooping out some of the water in his tank.

Máelán’s mouth hung open. “You mean to leave me with no ocean water, then? You might as well kill me.”

“Oh, hush!” she snapped, her calm façade gone for an instant. “Do you like lying in a pool of your own blood?” He bit his lip, and she smirked. “I didn’t think so.”

She strutted to the ocean, those maddening hips swaying with every step, and dumped the dirty water before scooping up a fresh bucketful.

“This is going to take you forever, you know,” he said when she returned. “You don’t really want to spend the rest of your day doing this, do you?”

She shrugged again. “What else have I got to do? You won’t let me look at that arm, and you don’t seem inclined to talk to me, so I might as well make myself useful. At least one of us should be concerned with making you comfortable.
