me.”
    “Look at me, Zoey.”
    She gazed into his eyes as he stared down at her. “Gods, you are so beautiful.”
    “I am?”
    “Yes. More beautiful than the Chiffa flower.”
    She didn’t know what that was, but okay. She’d take it.
    He pushed forward then drew back. Slowly. Then faster. And faster. Destructive sensation exploded across her nerves.
    Zoey gave herself over to pleasure as Dex brought her to a rush of rapture so intense that she screamed, arching up, trembling as ripples of bliss slipped through her body, brushing every nerve ending.
    Dex came with a low groan, his body straining over hers. The tendons in his neck stood out as he threw his head back. Then he collapsed beside her, breathing heavily.
    Zoey snuggled up against him. “Promise me you’ll be careful.”
    “I promise, my own. I have every reason in the universe to make certain that I come back to you.”
    ***
    Zoey paced back and forth across the small room. Dex had grown tired of having everyone in his quarters, and he didn’t want her hanging around the warriors’ common areas, so he’d had a sleeping chamber converted into a sitting room for her, Boris, and Giz.
    Since leaving Musin, Boris had stuck close to her side. He never said anything. Sometimes she actually forgot he was there, he was so quiet.
    She’d had no luck finding out anything about him, despite countless hours of research. Still, it was keeping her busy while they made their way to Edreinia, which probably kept Dex happy. Between that and her lessons with Thor, she’d had a rather boring trip.
    They’d arrived just outside of Edreinian airspace the previous night. Dex had taken a handful of warriors and left in a shuttle a few hours ago. She had no idea how he planned to get onto Edreinia without this Targos discovering them. But she had to have faith he knew what he was doing.
    So why did she feel so anxious? She had a deep foreboding that something would go wrong. She wished Dex had explained his plan, had talked to her about the risks involved.
    But he’d refused to discuss his mission with her. Zoey couldn’t help but feel left out. Dex persisted in thinking that it was his job to keep all of this from touching her, worrying her.
    She knew his preference would be to keep her in a protective bubble where nothing could touch her. She wouldn’t allow him to go that far. But he still tried to protect her as much as he could.
    What he didn’t realize was that it was the not knowing that was killing her. Ignorance wasn’t bliss.
    “I have a bad, bad feeling about this.”
    She glanced over at Giz, who yawned and rolled over on the large, padded sofa he was dozing on. Nothing much ever worried Giz.
    Boris stood across the room, watching her. Racar was standing close to the door. Dex still didn’t trust Boris enough to leave him alone with her. Thor, Macon, and Jaxan had gone with Dex, along with two other warriors.
    “Don’t you ever relax, Boris? Do you even sleep?” He seemed to be permanently at attention. Always watchful, always on edge. She wished she could help him feel more at ease.
    She didn’t bother waiting for him to answer.
    The door swished open and Koran stepped inside. He nodded at Racar, who quickly left.
    “Have you heard anything?” she asked.
    “They just departed three hours ago.”
    “I thought they might have messaged when they landed safely.”
    Koran’s gaze seemed to soften slightly, but perhaps she just imagined it.
    “They will be successful, Zoey. Dex will not thank you for worrying about him.”
    Zoey waved her hand. “I know I’m supposed to just sit here and act like nothing is wrong but screw that, it’s ridiculous. How am I not supposed to be scared?”
    Koran frowned. “You insult Dex by worrying over him.”
    “Oh shut up or go away. You’re not helping.” She knew Dex was strong and smart. But there was something wrong.
    “Are all humans this volatile and emotional or is it just the females?” Koran
