They lay naked on the carpet next to the damaged coffee table. The sex had been fantastic; as if everything was in unison between them. The war outside could have been a thousand miles away for all it had mattered in that incredible half hour. The first go around had been intense…urgent, with both of them rushing toward a maddeningly enjoyable climax. The second time was more measured and deliberate, but no less fierce. The fury of their lovemaking was only matched by Titus’s anger for not doing this sooner.

Vorena was nestled under his arm, her soft body pressed tightly against his own, heedless of the roadmap of scar tissue covering his torso.

“Care to explain?” Titus asked.

Vorena frowned, “Explain what?”

“The way you were acting back there. What was that?”

“I don’t know what you mean.” Vorena stood to her feet, collecting her clothing. Her nakedness was even more enticing to Titus as he watched her.

“Is this a game to you?” he asked, standing up and pulling on his own jumpsuit.

“Everything is a game,” she said, buckling her rynohyde body armor back on, “You either play or you die—simple isn’t it?”

Titus reached out and grasped her hand, “Stop this, Vorena.”

The woman, still half undressed, pulled her hand away, “You are the commander now, my Secondus. We both owe a blood debt to this Joe Braddock and his Peacemakers. Promise me you will end both him and that bitch Agrippina for what they did to my Fausta.”

Titus touched her face, “I promise. I will give you their hearts on plates before this war is finished.”

A beeping sound came from Titus’s PDA. Quickly pulling on the rest of his armor, he answered the palm-sized device.

An image of Falco appeared on the screen.

“Where the hell have you been?” Titus barked into the small handheld device.

“I apologize, Secondus,” Falco’s visage spoke flatly, “but I was called back to the Titan to put together an important mission.”

“A mission? For who?”

“Tiberius.”

Titus felt his anger boil up again. “Tell me everything.”

“We’ve located Jackson Walsh. A source close to the General has informed us he’s on board the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier off the coast of Venezuela.”

“How do you know that?”

Falco ignored the question, “Tiberius wants Walsh captured at any cost.”

Titus felt his mouth go dry, “You’re going to attack a US aircraft carrier. Are you insane?”

“I am merely following orders. But this isn’t why I contacted you, my Secondus. The inside source also told us of an attempt by the Peacemakers to locate Sledge’s drone facility.”

Fuck.

Titus gritted his teeth, his mind racing. How did they know about Sledge and the drone army?

“Falco, I need you back here now.”

“I am truly sorry, my Lord. I have my orders. Once I have captured the General, I am to bring him to Corvo Tower, where you and the Sirens shall interrogate him. The Imperator wants this matter to be dealt with only by high-level members of Olympus. Be ready. Falco out.”

“Dammit!” Titus shouted, throwing his PDA as hard as possible. The device hit the plexiglass window surrounding the suite and broke apart.
