the flames of Fire Fall were all that was visible.
    “Make sure you keep to the facts, Dionic. You skate a little too close to scandal.”
    She paused and nodded before she turned around to walk with her crewmember in the direction they had come from.
    Rox turned and asked. “Where are they going?”
    “Underground transport. Irudan’s public transport system is completely underground with the exception of the licenses issued to a few, including the Guardians.”
    “Right. Well, this has been an eventful first day.” She smiled and looked up at him. “Shall we return to the base?”
    “I believe so. Skorin should have finished dinner by now, we will be lucky if there is anything left over.” He waved toward the flier. “After you.”
    She settled on the rear seat and wrapped her arm around him when he settled. He used the com on his suit and reported their completion of the mission.
    Rox plastered her thighs against his and pressed her breasts against his back as they lifted off. She idly ran the fingers of her left hand over his abdomen, counting the ridges as the muscles tightened and then moving up and starting again.
    He was vibrating with tension when they landed at the base. She scampered off the flier before he could turn and berate her for her teasing. “I am rather peckish, how about you?”
    He snarled and lunged for her. She blasted him with cold but he kept coming.
    She squealed then mumbled and pounded her hands against his chest while he kissed her ravenously.
    Heat poured into her, and she gave up her pretense of disagreeing with the consequences of over an hour’s worth of teasing. Her touch hadn’t chilled him; in fact, it had fired him up. It was a first for her.
    Skorin cleared his throat. “We have kept plates warm for you, if you don’t mind.”
    Devnin raised his head and snarled at Skorin. “Do I interrupt you when you are with Rowen?”
    Rowen piped up. “Twice last week.”
    Rox pulled back and pressed her fingers to her lips. “I think a little distraction might be in order. I haven’t eaten since I was on the moon base, so I am overdue.”
    That snapped him into motion. “He didn’t feed you on the ship?”
    “He didn’t have to. I went into cold sleep, well my version of cold sleep. I don’t need to eat when I have gone dormant.” She let herself be bustled into the base and settled in the dining room.
    Rowen carefully removed the trident and said, “I will put it in your room.”
    “Thanks.” Rox sat with her hands folded in her lap.
    When Rowen returned, she slid a tablet in front of her. “You made the news. You are really impressive in action.”
    Rox didn’t reply; she activated the tablet and selected the Irudan nightly news. “Holy crap!”
    Before they had turned on the light, the fire had illuminated the area and Rox had glowed in the darkness as she quelled the flames.
    Her hair glowed white around her and floated up and out in a halo as she called on the heat to leave the plant life.
    She watched Fire Fall behind her, with his arms crossed over his chest and feet spread apart. He was ready for action, but it was not necessary, she cooled the flames and left the remainder of the plants resting quietly.
    Her light faded and the spotlight flicked on and approached the couple in the heated clinch.
    The rest of the interview she remembered vividly.
    Devnin slid a plate in front of her and held his hand over it for a moment. “If it cools, I will heat it again.”
    She nodded and started eating, drinking from the cup of water that Rowen brought to her. Without her asking for it, Devnin warmed her food three times during the meal.
    Having a hot meal inside her gave her a peculiar satisfaction. She remembered the first time her meal went cold and the confusion it had engendered. Her parents had just died within months of each other and it was her first birthday without a cake or candles.
    Julian had no clue what to do with an eight year old. Her aunt and uncle were
