“Kerr won’t be happy,” Medic continued

Screw Kerr He’d ordered Medic to take care of her, told Lily to report for debrief in theand then had left with Macon She knehere they were going to blow off steam

And what they’d be doing

She’d been invited ure out Drakkonian men had voracious sexual appetites Because of that, the only women allowed on base were non-combatants like Medic, or the ones ere there to take care of their sexual needs There was no in-between

Which is where Lily was stuck And why she needed her cover to remain intact

She bit her lip as an ie of Kerr with the women crossed her one with the boys to “the tank”, which was nothing more than an alternate word for brothel The women ell versed in the ways of pleasure and there had been liberal giving and taking

Kerr had left with two Drakkonian whores, had laughingly asked if she wanted to join in on the fun One fe Of course they all thought she was male

Lily had declined, fled to her quarters and had spent the night pissed off and full of e Kerr Stroht to do whatever the hell he wanted She was there to protect hi more

The relief was short lived, however, and she gingerly unlaced her boots, slipping theear follow suit By the time she was down to her undies, sweat formed a slippery sheen over most of her body

She paused, dragged in a shaky breath and then walked to the mirror above the small sink in the corner Her shoulder was caked in dried blood and she cursed as the pain continued to throb, not letting up as she tried to wash the area

It was hard She was dizzy and as the grime came away, a knot formed in the pit of her stomach She’d definitely taken a small missile, and by the feel of the smooth skin on the back of her shoulder, it hadn’t exited
