soon have, might even have by the time he made it back since Lista had been close to giving birth.
    Even though the alarm seemed to shut itself off and his bridge crew suggested it might be the result of a power surge, he had time so he would check it out personally. Walking to the lift, a scent hit him. It was her so she must have walked here not long ago. Pushing thoughts of chestnut hair, green eyes, and a gorgeous vixen from his mind; he stepped in the lift as it opened riding it all the way down. Once he stepped out he took the time to gather his senses around him. Her scent still came to him but that must be wishful thinking because she smelled so wonderful to him. It was a thought that needed cleared from his mind.
    His ears took in the silence with only the odd machine sound that echoed in the cavernous area. That sixth sense he’d had as long as he could remember was whispering for him to turn to the right then walk until he encountered something. Stevr did as suggested after all he was a demon, what did he have to fear? Taking giant strides, his natural way of walking since he was tall, he covered ground quickly until he came to the door to the next hold. Pushing the button he moved through the door only to have someone hit him in the head. What the fuck? In two seconds maybe less he held the perpetrator up against the wall by her neck. Her? Her !
    It was the female he’d been fantasizing about and she was choking. Oh, yeah, he was choking her. He let her loose and she slid to the floor looking up at him with wide open eyes. She wasn’t afraid although she should have been. It was more like she was amazed making him wonder if she caught a glimpse of his inner self.
    “What are you?” She rasped her voice hoarse from being choked.
    Stevr ignored her. His hand tingled from making contact with her. It was strange and impossible to explain. He turned his eye toward her trying to look cool and in charge. “What are you doing here?”
    “I was trying to become familiar with the public areas of the ship but wandered off.”
    Stevr snorted. He couldn’t help himself. “You don’t look like the type of female to get lost.”
    “You can tell that just by looking at me?” He held out his hand which she took then he pulled her to her feet. Her scent was driving his demon crazy while the heat he felt coming off her only added to it.
    “Why are you really down here?”
    “Since you know everything, why don’t you tell me big boy?”
    There was a loud bam that echoed through the room as his hands hit the metal wall in each side of her so close they almost touched her. He leaned in so close that she had to feel his hot breath blow on her neck. “If I knew for sure, I wouldn’t be asking Sweetheart.” His voice was soft and coaxing more suited to the bedroom than a place like this. His version of a panty melting smile came to his face. His nose twitched scenting her desire and anticipation.
    “I’m lost. It’s as simple as that.”
    “You get one pass. Don’t wander away from the public areas again.” He moved his head to her neck breathing in deeply. He wanted to rub up against her. “If you do, I might have to keep a much closer eye on you.” His voice rumbled with a promise as he moved back then followed her to the lift.
    Stevr had no idea what he should do with her except stay the hell away. He had come so close to taking her. Next time he might not be able to hold back. Someone needed to keep an eye on his siren. Well not his but the one he’d noticed. Not a single male, they would fall for her endless charms. Durax was recently mated and had his female on board. That’s who he would ask while he stayed as far away as he could. Something was off and while he didn’t know what he trusted his senses, all of them. She was here for a purpose beyond or instead of mating. That purpose was important and he needed to know what it was and who it was for. It would be an important piece of the puzzle.
    Once she
