“But what are you doing here?” Dargus asked out loud.
“Yeah, no need to thank me and my amazing mate here for saving your hairless ass. You’re welcome, by the way.”
“Bargus, Dar needs medical attention.” Lia ran a hand through his hair soothingly.
No, not at all. As long as you keep touching me… mylove… I’ll be fine.
“He’ll be fine,” Bargus rumbled. “Once you two are naked in his nest, he’ll be as good as new.”
“Bargus!” T’kala spoke then. From his position on the floor Dargus could see his sister-in-mating had her sword down but her sonic shield at the ready.
“What, mate? It’s true. I’d say you’ll see for yourself, but I’m not letting you near a naked Dargus.”
“Why? Afraid I’ll choose hairless over fuzzy?”
“No. You’d have to be crazy to turn your back on my glorious fuzz!... I simply wish to protect you from getting scarred for life.”
“Shouldn’t have brought me here, then.”
“You insisted, remember?”
“Couldn’t let you and Daddy have all the fun. Not to mention Daddy might have gotten trigger-happy and blown this whole asteroid up, unless I was on it.”
Am I feverish, or did T’kala just say they have brought pirates to the slavers’ headquarters?
“He might still blow this place andusup,” Bargus stressed, “unless we contact him in ten minutes.”
“No, no, there can’t be any blowing up!” Lia protested. “They’re innocent creatures here, you can’t just–We have the evidence we came for, the bad guys will pay, please don’t–”
“Ah, you and my little bro are perfect for each other. Now stay down, so we can get you and the evidence out of here.”
That was Dargus’ cue. They were going to reach the surface any sechiona now. It was time to get his lazy tail off the floor.
“Bargus, pulser,” he announced while pushing himself to his hands and knees.
“My love, stay down! You’re in no condition to–”
Dargus slanted his mouth over Lia’s, upside down as her lips were. He tasted her drying tears and the heady taste that was hers and hers alone. He swallowed her gasp of surprise and the subsequent sigh of pleasure and relief.
Yes, I too thought I’d never taste your lips again, my pumpkin.
If this was to be their last kiss, he wanted to make it last, but the slowing down of the elevator told him their time was up.
“Take Cubbie and stay behind me,” was the last thing he said to her as he took the pulser a smirking Bargus was handing him.
T’kala stepped in front of Bargus enough to offer shield cover without blocking his aim. Dargus remained on one knee by his brother’s other side. Gun in the hand that was shaking less, he aimed at the elevator doors.
He was going to crash nearly as badly as Cubbie once this was done. Provided he even made it to theDickion. But with his true mate’s life on the line, along with that of his brother, sister-in-mating, and furball, Dargus would have to be dead to stop fighting.
“Here we go.” Bargus couldn’t sound more excited.
Then the elevator doors opened and everything descended into chaos.
