Victoria walked into the captain’s suite as Seht was buckling into his own skin-tight flight-suit. She felt a hard kick in her libido and sucked in a breath. Merciful Fate! His suit didn’t leave a damn thing to the imagination. She could see every crease and bulge.

Seht turned, caught sight of Victoria and frowned. “Take off the coat.”

Victoria shrugged out of her coat and tossed it over her arm.

“Great Mother…” Seht stared. “Where the hell did you get that suit?”

Victoria shrugged. “I had it made.”

Ravnos came from around a corner. His brows rose and a slight smile lifted one corner of his mouth. “I see you weren’t exaggerating about your suit being snug.”

Victoria had to drag her eyes from Seht. “I was wearing it when you grabbed me.”

“You had that on under the coat?” Ravnos shook his head. “Good thing I didn’t see it, or I would have taken you right there on the floor. It doesn’t hide a thing.”

Victoria raised her brow. “That’s why I wear the coat.”

Seht stalked closer. “You had this made?”

Victoria nodded. “I saw one like it a long time ago. I sketched it out for the designer.”

Seht raised a brow and glanced at Ravnos. “I’d dearly like to know where you saw something like this.”

Victoria shrugged. “I was a kid at the time, maybe eight or nine. I was on my way to the academy. It was something I saw someone wearing at one of the spaceports. I have no idea which one.”

Seht raised a sarcastic brow at Ravnos. “It’s very close to the uniform of a mahfdhyt enforcer.”

Victoria winced. “Does that mean I have to take it off?”

Seht shook his head. “No, but it does mean that they will expect you to be proficient with blades and hand-to-hand combat.”

“Blades?” Victoria’s brows shot up. “As in swords?”

“I don’t think that will be a problem,” Ravnos said dryly.

Victoria turned to Ravnos. “Does this mean I get my sword back?”

Seht snorted. “Rehkyt do not wear weapons.”

Ravnos nearly smiled. “The upuaht, bodyguards, do.”

Seht frowned at Ravnos. “They’ll know she’s not upuaht-trained.” He turned to point at Victoria. “No sword.”

Victoria seriously considered pouting, decided it was beneath her dignity, and sighed instead. “You never let me have any fun.”

Ravnos raised his brow. “Why not? She’s good.”

“I know; that’s the problem.” Seht clenched his jaw. “I’m going to have enough difficulties when my cousin gets a good look at her. I don’t need the mahfeht enforcers trying to claim her too.” He turned away. “Victoria, follow me. You need to learn how to dress me in my armor.”

Victoria followed him to the far side of the chamber. Armor?
