Chapter Eleven

All did not go as expected with the docking. Word had not gotten out the Renegade had been deeded back to the rightful owners, and security had demanded to board as soon as the mooring arms had snapped onto the hull, and the oxygenated hangar had sealed around the airlock. Jaylin, displeased by the questioning and the delays, dealt with the extra paperwork, and subsequent refueling, while Malik escorted Dani into the spaceport and out into the shopping hub.

Dani’s shyness had reemerged—never having expected to take on two lovers at once, let alone aliens, and never one who was half man, half machine. Thinking about what she’d done to them, and what Jaylin and Malik had done to her in return made her blush and her heart stutter in rhythm. It also tested her morals forged by years of conservative private tutors and the practically puritanical all-girls college her father had decreed she attend. Not that Daniel Alltryp was the pillar of decency and decorum. Far from it, with a different woman on his arm every time the media photographed him, but he had a different set of standards for his only daughter.

To the world, he seemed doting and concerned; Dani knew better. She put it aside, however, as she took in the spectacle before her.

The spaceport’s cavernous central hub consisted of multiple levels, some offered services ranging from a hair salon to a medical clinic, but most were exclusively for shopping. While any woman’s nirvana, it was every man’s nightmare. Malik, in an easygoing mood for a change, took it all in stride. The reason behind his current disposition not escaping her, it was also the cause of her cheeks heating every time she came close to meeting his eyes.

“You’re going to set fire to the oxygen inlets with your blushes,” he teased when her gaze darted away from his for the umpteenth time. “You have nothing to be embarrassed about.” His hand tipped up her chin, giving her a light, yet tantalizing kiss—their first, if she didn’t include the searing kisses he’d laid on her body, or she on his. The memory made her flush even more furiously, and he laughed softly. “More exposure to what we shared will take care of the problem.”

“Sounds like a technique I learned in a psychology class.”

“You studied psychology?” he asked, while leading her out into the flow of traffic circling the first ring of shops.

“A required class among others intended to make me a well-rounded student. My major, however, was art history.”

He nodded, his attention divided between her and the patrons—aliens of every size, color, and skeletal structure, most beyond her wildest imagination. She couldn’t keep from eyeing one tall, thin purple creature, who stood taller than Malik. It had large dark eyes, in an oversized head, and not a hair in sight. The oddest thing about her—she couldn’t be sure of its gender, female being simply a hunch—was she lacked lips or anything resembling a mouth.

The strangely beautiful creature glanced at the tall man beside her, who nodded as if agreeing to something she’d asked.
