he’d disappeared.
    The kiss deepened and I relaxed against him, all the fight draining out of me. His tongue stroked mine, exploring my mouth, tasting me as I tasted him back. He was divine, masculine with a hint of sweetness, like he’d just eaten dessert and the flavour lingered in his mouth.
    His hands were warm against the bare skin of my wrist and cheek, holding me firmly. He wasn’t hurting me, but I knew if I started to struggle, those strong hands would hold me captive for the full impact of his kiss.
    Moaning a little at the soft slide of his tongue against mine, the taste of him in my mouth, the fire he was kindling low in my body, I pressed against him, pushing my aching breasts against his hard chest. He started to pull back. I followed his mouth with my own, rising on tiptoe to keep our lips pressed together to keep the taste of him in my mouth.
    He managed to disengage our lips and pressed his forehead against mine, the warm press of his skin against mine sending tingles through me.
    “Ellie.”
    His voice was a rough rasp, filled with desire and longing. Opening my eyes, I stared up into the molten heat of his grey ones. A sense of calm washed over me for the first time in more cycles than I could count. He was here, with me, and I wasn’t going to let him escape easily this time.

    “You’re finally here,” I said, looking up to Manik, my voice filled with all the emotion that was flooding me.
    “Yeah, I’m finally here, and we don’t ever have to be apart again. I needed a really good reason to convince my captain to return here, and when I had it, I made sure we came straight here,” Manik said.
    His words settled inside me and warmed what had become a cold and lonely place. It warmed the part of me that had given up hope that he would ever return, the part of me that ached every time I thought of him.
    “So, what was this really good reason you discovered to come back?” My natural curiosity kicked in. If Prixy was right and they had something to do with Vrentis’ missing research, it must have been a pretty good reason.
    “We picked up a life pod, and the person inside has nanites and cranial implants like a cyborg, but has no muscular or skeletal enhancements. I thought of you straight away. The woman in the life pod is in stasis, and her nanites are inactive. I don’t know how to wake her up. I don’t even know how she was put into stasis in the first place. I convinced my captain you were the only person who could help.”
    I leant against Manik, a little disappointed that he hadn’t returned solely for me, that the connection I’d felt with him hadn’t been strong enough to bring him back to me. He was right, though. I probably was the only person who could help.
    “We have a man who came out of a life pod who sounds just like the woman you’re describing. Unfortunately, I haven’t had any success in waking him up, either. His cranial implants are unlike those found in cyborgs. We haven’t even been able to get a computer to sync with them so we have no idea what they are for or what functions they perform.”
    I wiggled my hand, indicating that I wanted him to let me go. I liked having his hands against the bare skin of my arms, but I also needed to get back to my research. I knew he was a medic and I knew his name was Manik, but other than those two things, I knew very little about him.
    His hand flexed around my wrist, the strength in them apparent for a fleeting moment before he let me go. Heat slammed through me at what it would feel like to have those hands travelling over my body, holding me down as he thrust into me. A shiver travelled down my spine, raising all the fine hairs on the back of my neck. I wanted that, to feel his strength as I flew apart for him.
    I stared up into his grey eyes, mesmerised by the changing colour, the light playing across the lighter grey almost making it shine like silver. I could look into his eyes for hours and
