She thought I would fly off the handle and fight the ugly piggy creatures.
She was right.
I was going to do just that.
Now I had possession of the shuttlecraft but didn’t have the girl of my dreams.
She’d left me in the arms of another creature.
Another male creature.
That little word—“male”—made the situation a thousand times worse.
When I ran my hands over the shuttlecraft, I wasn’t running my hands over its smooth surface but Agatha’s perfect skin.
She was naked and in my arms.
She trusted me not to harm her.
I could do whatever I wanted with her and she could do the same with me.
It was the kind of connection my people dreamed about.
I had let her leave in the arms of a monster, a creature that was likely touching her the same way I was touching this ship.
The sour truth was, I had to let her go.
There was no choice.
If I didn’t, they were only going to kill me or else send up a flare and call the guards and their drones down on us.
This shop of theirs would drill into the ground and the hole it produced would be covered over by the sand, disappearing as if it had never existed.
The reward they would get for me wouldn’t be a lot but a little was more than nothing.
I had studied Draw carefully as he left with my girl on his arm, and looked for any sign or signal he secretly passed to his men.
There wasn’t one, so far as I could ascertain.
They didn’t need to honor their deal.
In fact, I expected they wouldn’t.
They could quietly slay me and Draw could have his way with Agatha and, in all likelihood, enslave her.
It would be clean and efficient and the prison would never have to learn the truth.
They would dump me in the desert and cover me with sand.
No one would ever know the truth about what happened to us.
I had no intention of letting that happen.
Any of it.
Least of all the idea of Agatha being used by that sick bastard.
I only hoped I could get free of these guys before creeping up to Draw’s room and saving her.
