her line of work.
“ I have none,”
he said and smiled again when he realised that he was warm from
head to toe. Standing, he stretched and sighed. He removed his
trousers, revealing the bottom half of his thermal suit, and tossed
the clothes to one side. He looked up at the ceiling and then at
the bars that separated him and Renie. “Shall we go?”
She frowned, as though she
didn’t understand. Did she think that he was going to remain here
when he could leave now? He was going to save her, just as he had
promised. He wouldn’t allow anything to happen to her or her
brother.
He walked over to the door
bars of his cell and reached through them.
“ What are you
doing? I’m sure they’ll be locked down or alarmed or
something.”
Tres pulled a wire out
from the left wrist of his suit and stretched to reach the control
panel. Pushing the wire against the screen, he smiled when Renie
gasped as the small bud on the end of the wire opened and extended
out to cover the entire screen of the panel in a thin silver
film.
Turning his arm so his
palm was facing upwards, he tapped the inside of his forearm and
the display appeared, hovering an inch above the suit.
“ What are you
doing?” Renie hissed at him.
“ Freezing me to
keep me quiet wasn’t the only reason they disconnected the power in
my suit,” he said and tapped a combination of buttons on the long
display screen on his forearm. The doors in front of each cell in
the block faded. He smiled at Renie. “Stopping me from escaping was
the other reason.”
Her eyes were bright and
wide, full of amazement and awe. She tentatively stepped out of the
cell and then went to go to the main doors. He caught her wrist and
she stopped and looked back at him. The feel of her skin against
his was divine and it was a struggle not to drag her up against his
body and kiss her.
“ Not that way,”
he said and pointed at the ceiling. “This way.”

Renie watched in
fascination as Tres stood on the bench in his cell and scored a
square in the ceiling with his claws. What was he planning to do?
She jumped back when he punched the centre of the area he had
marked and the entire section buckled under the force of the
strike. She hadn’t expected such a slim man to be so strong. He was
stronger than her brother was and Tres was half Rezic’s
size.
Before she could ask what
he intended to do now, Tres fell forwards so his hands pressed into
the floor and then disappeared feet first through the hole in the
ceiling. She stared, mouth agape, stunned and trying to figure out
what had just happened.
She added acrobatic to the
list of things she was discovering about him since fixing his
thermal suit. It was little wonder the commander had broken it.
Keeping Tres contained seemed impossible. It had taken him only
seconds to break free.
His hand reappeared
through the hole and then his head followed.
“ Come on,” he
said and flexed his fingers, as though trying to encourage
her.
She didn’t need any
encouragement to follow him. She was beginning to think that she
would follow him wherever he went. Perhaps she could encourage him
to join her and her brother. The thought of parting company with
Tres was strangely painful.
Renie stood on the bench,
reached up and took hold of his hand. A squeak of surprise left her
when he effortlessly hauled her into the dim duct.
“ We must move
fast.” He turned and began crawling along the narrow
duct.
Renie crawled along behind
him, trying not to stare at his backside but finding it impossible
as they moved further and further into the ship. He had a nice
behind and narrow hips that slowly tapered out into his shoulders.
Although he was slim, he was strong. The thermal suit he wore was
as tight as a second skin and emphasised his compact muscles in a
way that made her imagine him naked.
Her entire body ached at
the thought of him nude.
She wondered if he had
imagined her naked too. He had
