seriously injured. I
refused to consider the other possibility.
Xanthus took on two of them immediately. One jumped at
Radek, taking him to the ground where they rolled. And I faced off with the
fourth. Training took over. Instinct played a part as well. Taking a running
leap, I jumped at the wall, using my feet to push off and turn, the momentum
enabling me to kick hard enough to spin him.
He hit the ground hard. I landed in a crouch beside him.
Rising, I stomped hard on his wrist and felt no remorse as I heard the bone
snap. His weapon was useless to him now. I kicked it away as he pulled his hand
to his chest, cradling it. One more sharp kick to his temple and he was out.
I glanced over. Radek had his guy on the ground beneath him.
Didn’t look as though he needed my help. Xanthus on the other hand did. Both
men were coming at him. One had a wicked-looking knife in his hand and happened
to be to the side and behind Xanthus. Didn’t look fair to me.
Jumping in I took the one behind him with a roundhouse kick
that had him reeling back and away. I followed up with a front kick that took
his knee out with a loud popping sound. I aimed for the places that would do
the most damage. I didn’t play around when I fought.
I heard a snap and turned in time to see Xanthus break the
neck of his adversary.
“No witnesses,” Xanthus grunted.
No witnesses. Not only would I have to take this one
out, I’d have to go back to the other and make sure he wasn’t going to wake up.
Ever.
We’d already made enough noise. We’d be lucky if there
weren’t more getting ready to pour out and attack. I quickly cut off the moans
of the one holding his knee by slamming my boot heel into his throat. It was
easy enough at that point to use his knife. One quick thrust to his heart and
it was all over.
I stood and turned to see that Xanthus had already handled
the first one I’d tangled with. Radek had Kain over his shoulder.
“We need to move.”
“Kain?” I asked, unable to hold my fear inside a moment
longer.
“It’s happened before. They rewire so a jolt goes out to the
hacker, knocking him out. A signal beeps inside, alerting them of our presence.
Kain is usually good at spotting a rewire. They must be getting better.”
I nodded at Radek. “So he’ll be okay?”
“A little rest and he’ll be fine. Nothing more than a
bruised ego,” Xanthus assured me. “Now let’s move.”
Xanthus took the lead and I automatically took up the spot
behind Radek. He had Kain. He had to be protected. I knew I’d earned my spot on
the team when neither of them batted an eyelash or said a word. I’d gone from
the one in the middle to taking rear position. I’d be the one to make sure we
weren’t followed, to defend us if we were.
Four men had attacked. I’d taken out two. I’m an
Enforcer, hear me rooooaaaarrrr!

I piled my hair on my head and stepped into the personal
cleaning unit. It felt so good as the heated beam caressed my skin, cleansing
all the dirt and sweat from my body. A second rotation of the beam, focusing
from my neck down, removed any fresh hair growth that might be starting so that
I was as smooth as a baby. The beam stopped and I released my hair, letting it
spill around my shoulders. The final beam washed over me, cooling my heated
skin and treating my hair to a thorough cleansing.
Goddess, I felt good. I stepped out of the unit and hurried
to the door that connected to our sleeping quarters. I was so primed and ready
for the promised exploration. I was almost there from thought alone. After our
last two bouts, I had plenty of material to work with.
I caught my breath as I stepped through the door. Radek lay
flat on his back on the bed. His erection rose high in the air with his fist
wrapped around it, pumping his shaft. I licked my lips, couldn’t hold back if I
wanted to. I just looked at those guys and my horny meter spiked off the
charts.
“See something you want?” Radek all but purred
refused to consider the other possibility.
