too. She was stronger than she looked. Not that that was saying much.
    As soon as the hold was empty, he waved her back out of the way. Door locked, systems clear buttons punched and there she goes. The landing craft launched and was out of sight fast as you could blink.
    He turned and took another hard look at her. No, she'd never stay. When the next supply drop arrived, she'd hop right back on the landing craft for anywhere but here. But she was his 'til then. Good enough.

    She cleared her throat. "My name is Danae. They said your name is Jase." She had a deep, husky voice. Sexy without even trying.  
    “You’re not what I expected.” He circled around her slowly. Had the desk jockeys in UFXP lost their fucking minds? This little cupcake should be flirting with the billionaires on some fancy space resort. What made them think she’d cut it on a dusty planetoid - with him?
    She pointed her chin up. “What did you expect?”
    Jase had to grin at the attitude. A kitten trying to sass a guard dog.
    “Something a little more experienced.” He leaned closer till his mouth almost touched her ear. “At everything.” He laughed as she sidled a step away.
    “This ain’t the Lunar Hilton, Princess. Do you know anything about roughing it?”
    “I’m not a kid. I can manage.”
    “Sure. Well, you’re not going anywhere near the mine - you’d be useless there. No place for amateurs. That only leaves one thing I can use you for.”
    He stepped forward again, deliberately too close.
    “You do have the right equipment for that.” He reached out and cupped her breast.
    She flinched but didn’t move away this time. Just stood there. What the fuck was with her?
    He growled a little in frustration. “You do know that’s the main reason I asked for a woman, don’t you?”
    "You want to make love two seconds after we've met?"
    "No, Princess. I want to have sex. That is why you're here. That’s why ALL the miners ask for a companion - they want someone to fuck. With droids, most sites can run as a one man op. But a robot can’t do anything for a hard-on.”
    “I’m a crude guy. The next supply ship won’t get here for a month. I’m not going to pretend I’m going be able to keep my hands off you till then. If you didn’t want this why did you come here?”
    Danae shook her head. “I’ve got no where else to go.”
    He was NOT going to feel sorry for her. Everybody had their own sob story. He was not interested. It didn’t mean anything to him. Really.
    Then she slapped her tiny little hand on his chest and gave him a push. “I’m here because you supposedly wanted something more than just sex. Otherwise why not just watch a sex video?”
    Oh, so the kitten could growl. I’m scared now.
    "I know that - "
    “That would supposedly include conversation, wouldn’t it?”
    He stuck his lip out a little. “How much conversation?”
    She huffed which pushed out her rack even more and then glared at him when she noticed him noticing. Oh no, Princess, I am not apologizing for looking. I’m a guy. You wave your tits at my face, I will notice. He tried to unclench his jaw before he cracked it.
    “Look, you want to know if we’re ‘compatible’ or something? The fastest way I know is sex. And yeah, it’s not the only thing I wanted but it’s pretty damn high on the list. You shouldn’t be that surprised. I’m a crystal miner not a space video star. I’m not the flowers and poetry type.”
    He ran his hand up her side and gave her dress a little tug. “But I am damn good in bed. That I do very well.”
    Danae shook her head and laughed. Might as well work with the material she had. If lots of sex made him less trouble, well it was only a month. And her other options would have been a whole lot worse. “All right, tough guy. We’ll play it your way. For now.”
    She gasped as he reached around and grabbed her ass, pulling her into him, rubbing his body against hers.
    He eased her back a step so he could look
