Since joining the crew, Lis had become quite proficient in using blasters. A privateer’s job was more dangerous and action-packed than she expected, and she was loving every minute of it. She cast a look at Navi. Mostly every minute.
“You ready?” Nox asked, slipping an arm around her waist and bending to kiss her cheek. He knew she wasn’t one for much public affection, but she tolerated it around the crew. And thank the goddess because he had a hard time keeping his hands off her. In time, the mate bond would settle but, until then, her barest touch set him off.
She nodded. “Have I told you how hot you are in those tight pants of yours?”
“Not today,” he said, nipping her earlobe. “And you look damn fine with that blaster on your hip. I like my mate dangerous.”
She huffed out a laugh, wiggling her backside against his rapidly stiffening cock. “And just how dangerous am I?”
“Woman, you’re deadly.”
“Oh, for fuck’s sake,” Navi said, stomping down the ramp.
Feriq greeted them at the door of his bar. “Thank you for coming.”
“Anything for you,” Lis said, returning his hug. “Hey, I’m going to pop over to the clinic for a minute. Sona said she left something there for us. A mate gift, I guess?” She shrugged.
“Guess I’ll wait here, then. No rush. It’s not like I have a pissed-off ex on my tail or anything.” Parvani snarked, flopping into a booth near the door.
Feriq pinched the bridge of his nose. “You wouldn’t have to worry about that if you left on Antana’s Luck six months ago, like we’d discussed.”
“Like I told you, I had things I had to do,” Parvani said with a toss of her hair.
Before the argument between the siblings got out of hand, Nox said, “Navi will escort you to the shuttle. We’ll be along shortly.”
“Copy that,” Navi said, slinging Parvani’s bag over his shoulder and gesturing at her to follow.
Feriq watched his sister flounce out of the bar. He turned worried eyes to Lis and Nox. “Please take care of her. She may be prickly and hard to get along with, but she’s had a rough go of it.”
“Don’t worry, Feriq. We’ll look out for your sister. I promise,” Lis said, giving Feriq’s hand a squeeze. “I’ll lock her in her room when she gets too annoying. Should prevent anyone from tossing her out of the airlock.”
He huffed out a laugh. “Thank you.”
Nox clapped a hand on his shoulder. “And you be careful. That ex of Parvani’s comes sniffing around…”
Feriq’s eyes hardened to amber shards. “He’ll meet the end of my blaster.”
“Good. And call us if you need anything.”
“Like help with disposing a body,” Lis added.
They stared at her.
“What?” She lifted her hands. “That’s what friends do.”
“Anyway,” Feriq said with a small smile, “Thank you. Now, go. Pick up your present and get my sister the hells off this planet.” He shoved them out the door, closing it behind them.
Back in the bright sunshine, Nox once again claimed Lis’s hand. “You remember the first time you walked down this road with me?” he asked.
“The green smoothie.”
“Breakfast freeze.”
“Same thing,” she said, giving him a grin. “You remember the clinic?”
His brows drew together in confusion. “Both of us winding up in a medi-tube?”
She bumped his shoulder with a giggle. “No. That part sucked. I’m talking about the supply closet.”
