Chapter Eight

When Indigo emerged from Chandar’s suite, she looked rather shaken. Zilor had been enjoying a casual conversation with Danvier, though they were both dying to know what was going on inside the suite. In fact, Zilor had suggested they turn on the audio feed as a safety precaution. Danvier just glared at him. So, they sat on the end of adjacent benches facing each other across one of the closed doorways. Danvier shot to his feet as soon as he saw Indigo then met her halfway across the courtyard.

“Is she all right? You look pale.” He lightly grasped Indigo’s elbow and Zilor felt his eyes narrow. They weren’t genetically compatible, so Danvier wasn’t competition. Still, Zilor didn’t like to see any male’s hands on his mate.

His mate? All he had to do was best her other potential matches and convince Indigo of the fact.

“Chandar’s fine and I’m just tired. You don’t need to worry about either of us.” She slipped her arm out of Danvier’s light grasp and continued across the courtyard toward Zilor. “Do I have enough time to visit with Raina before dinner?”

“Dinner is whenever we choose to make it, so take as long as you like. Raina stopped by while you were working with Chandar. We weren’t sure how long you’d be, so she just left the suitcase.”

She glanced around the courtyard. “What suitcase?”

“I put it in your suite.”

“Thanks. I hope my mom wasn’t too obnoxious.”

“Raina didn’t seem upset,” he assured her.

“Good. And speaking of dinner, where do we go for food?”

“We wondered the same thing and then Danvier noticed there are seven doors but only six suites.” Zilor motioned toward the extra door which was directly across from the archway leading back to the main complex. When she didn’t immediately investigate, he stood and opened the door. Indigo walked into the newly discovered room, brushing past him in the process. Her scent filled his nose and desire rolled through him, curling his fingers around the edge of the door. Gods how he wanted to touch her.

“This is cool.” She walked across the room, skirting the round table with its twelve chairs. Contained within a transparent sphere, the room seemed to float in midair. The outer walls presented a stunning panorama of the docking area and the three ships secured there. “Love the view, but how do we make dinner? There’s not even a microwave.”

Zilor pointed to the large kiosk beside the sink. “Nutrition generator. Most call them nutri-gens. It has a large catalogue of edible options. Unfortunately, not many are from Earth. You might be stuck with a hamburger or pizza until we chase down some other patterns. I know Bandar has uploaded several for Ashley on the ship. I’ll find out what it takes to transfer the info to this nutri-gen.”

“I’m not hard to feed.” She looked at the machine suspiciously, but didn’t ask any questions about how it worked. Not a good sign. Indigo was always full of questions. “Where can I find Raina?”

“She’s probably in the jungle.
