glancing at him to see his reaction. “I mean, I didn’t
know that you were in the helicopter. I thought it was a couple of
human guys. It wasn’t until I was in it that I realized that you
were a… you.”
“You still could have left me,” he
commented, stepping to the side and walking toward the edge so he
could look down at the wreckage. “When you realized that I was on
board, you could have just left. Instead, you almost died.”
Kali gave a short laugh and reached up to
grab one of the metal support beams above her head. She curled her
legs up under her so she was hanging from it before she put her
feet back down on the roof and leaned back. She thought for a
moment as she stared at his profile before she decided she was in
too deep to stop now.
“I told you it wasn’t my night to die,” she
teased quietly before she sobered and continued. “You might be an
alien, but you are still a living being. I knew I couldn’t leave
you and I knew the crane couldn’t hold that much weight for very
long. Waiting for your people to show up wasn’t an option. Once I
saw that you were injured, well, that just sealed it. I was the
only one there and you needed help if you weren’t going to end up
like yesterday’s road kill.”
“Why does your brother allow you to be in
such danger? Tonight….” He drew in a deep breath and his eyes
flashed a dark yellow-gold before he continued. “Tonight you were
almost killed.”
“You saw what happened? I was right then.
You have been watching me,” Kali breathed out, this time pulling
herself up so that she was sitting on the narrow bar that she had
hung from a moment ago. “I knew it. I could feel it. How long have
you been watching me?”
“A week and a half,” he bit out, taking a
step toward where she was sitting. “Answer me! Why would your
brother allow you to be in such danger? Does he not care what
happens to you?”
Kali’s eyes briefly flashed in outrage at
the contemptuous tone in his voice when he said Destin’s name. He
knew nothing, absolutely nothing, about Destin. If he did, he
wouldn’t be siding with Colbert.
She hissed as she remembered what the other
alien male had told her and Destin two years ago. The aliens were
one of the reasons Colbert had increased his attacks. They were the
ones supplying weapons, granted human weapons, but weapons all the
same to Colbert in an effort to defeat Destin and take over the
northern half of the city.
“You know nothing about my brother!” She
hissed out angrily, standing up on the bar. “If you did, you would
know he loves me more than life itself just as I love him. Why are
you supporting Colbert? Don’t you know what he is like? Don’t you
see how he doesn’t care about the people living in the southern
half of the city? Every day we take in refugees seeking a safer way
to live. He doesn’t care about anyone or anything.”

Razor’s mind caught her accusing words even
as he moved forward to capture her waist when she turned to climb
higher on the bent framing of the sign. His hands wrapped around
her, almost touching as he pulled her back against him. He ignored
the short, frightened cry she emitted as he wound his arms around
her to prevent her from escaping into the darkness.
“Calm,” he murmured in her ear as she
struggled against him. “Be still, Kali Parks. I mean you no
harm.”
Kali froze in his arms. “Then let me go,”
she whispered throatily. “You owe me that. I saved your life. Let
me go.”
Razor moaned softly and rubbed his nose
along her neck. A low rumble escaped him, surprising him as he
caught the faint scent of another male on her. He stroked his nose
along her jaw as she tilted her head so she could look up at
him.
“Another male has been near you,” he growled
in a dark voice. “Who is he to you?”
Kali jerked in surprise and tried to move
away from him when he rubbed his nose along her jaw again. A shiver
ran through her, startling her. She didn’t
know that you were in the helicopter. I thought it was a couple of
human guys. It wasn’t until I was in it that I realized that you
were a… you.”
