Fighting Lory (English Edition) (Lords Of Arr'Carthian 2) Read Online Free PDF

person that she had met on this damn planet who did not remind her, through his appearance, that she was light years away from home.
    “How could I refuse such an invitation?” he said with his sexy, rough voice and he sat down on the stool next to her. “May I get you a drink?”
    Lory turned the empty cocktail glass between her fingers and shrugged.
    “As chance would have it my glass has just become empty, as you can see.”
    “What can I get you? A sundown?”
    “Yes, I’ll have another of those.”
    The man ordered two sundowns and turned to Lory again. His silvery eyes looked at her calmly and a sensuous smile played at the corner of his mouth.
    “My name is Ellyod. Ellyod Allegrass.”
    “Lory. Lory Andersson.”
    “What brings you here, Lory Andersson? Are you traveling alone?”
    “I … umm, no, I have my frie… my slave with me. We’re waiting to get a passage to our planet. Until now we’ve had no success. I fear that our planet lies somewhat beyond the routes that are generally flown here.”
    “And where exactly is that, my dear? Perhaps I can be of assistance to you. I have a ship and at the moment I’m available. I can fly you anywhere.”
    “I have no idea what the coordinates of our planet are. We came here, so to speak, by mistake and I only know that it’s about a month’s journey away from here. I would recognize the solar system on a star chart. At least I hope so.”
    “It would be an honor for me to take you to your destination. I have things to do here for a few days and could fly in four days’ time at the earliest. Would that be OK?”
    “That would be really very helpful. Thank you. You’re a gift from Heaven.”
    Ellyod laughed.
    “No one has ever called me that.” He winked and Lory smiled at him.
    “My companion and I will gladly accept your friendly offer. Name your price and I will arrange for you to receive the credits immediately.”
    “Absolutely not. I cannot take credits from a lady in distress. It is my duty to help you. And I do it gladly. It’s a welcome change. You’re even doing me a favor. But unfortunately I must leave now. I have another engagement. I’ll see you soon, Lory Andersson.”
    “Yes. And thank you for your kind offer.”
    “You’re welcome. I wish you a pleasant night.”
    Once the man had left the bar Lory knocked back her cocktail and was about to pay for her first drink when the waitress informed her that Mr Allegrass had already paid for everything. Shrugging, Lory turned and left the bar. She needed to tell Charly the great news. She would be amazed. Lory could hardly believe her luck. At last they would leave this place. With this prospect she could even enjoy the next few days at the spaceport.

    “Damn it!“ groaned Kordan indignantly. “We’ve been wandering around here for two days and have no idea as to the whereabouts of the two women.”
    “I cannot believe that no one has seen them in all these weeks,” replied his cousin Amano, just as frustrated.
    “Let’s try here before returning to the hotel. We could have a drink here and question the waitress a little.”
    “Yes, that sounds good. I could handle a drink. Or two.” Amano slapped Kordan on the shoulder. “Come on! What are we waiting for?”
    They entered the bar and sat down at a table near the counter. A waitress came to their table with a cloth and washed the sticky tabletop half-heartedly.
    “What can I bring you?”
    “Bring us two double blacks and something to eat.”
    “We have taki from the barbecue, mosule with bread or baked shanika.”
    “I’ll have the taki,” said Amano.
    “Me, too. Bring us two takis and some bread, as well.”
    “Right away,” said the waitress, disappearing.
    A little later she returned with the drinks and placed the glasses on the table in front of Kordan and Amano.
    “May we ask you something?
