assurances. Did
you get a weapons lesson, we could use the help," she finished in her usual
matter of fact
way.
"Damn Dee, you stink, what did you do, soak in a pool of dung?"
"I got coated with Dargon innards, it's a long story but right now we need
to
destroy these giant dragonflies, grab a weapon and let's get to it, you do
know how to use
one of these don't you?"
"I've got it covered, sort of," the last uttered under her breath, as she
spotted a
small cache of unused blazers protected by a clump of rocks. Cat dove for
one,
positioned herself next to Dee, and proceeded to practice what Zorroc had
demonstrated
only a few moments before. It to ok a little time to master the intricacies
of aim, weight,
and balance but eventually she succeeded in hitting her targets more than
not.
"Wow, these guys look like flying Gorns from that Star Trek episode, don't

they.
Remember the one where Kirk gets stranded on a strange planet with this
large, ugly,
scaly creature and they have to fight it out only Kirk won't kill him?"
"You truly are certifiable Cat, shut-up, aim, and fire," Dee stated with
suppressed
humor. Cat never failed to lighten the worst situation; they d been under
attack for close
to two hours and things had been looking pret ty bleak, but with the added
firepower and
her friend beside her, her energy returned.
"So, how's the explosive duo making-out, has he bludgeoned down your door and
crawled into the honey pot yet?" Cat teased as she squeezed off another
charge. Cat

watched Dee blush and scowl while Prolinc glan ced over and leered his best
cat smile to
let her know he had overheard and understood.
Dee decided to get a little of her own back and inquired sweetly, "Who's
been
chewing on your neck, Cat, is your kitty really a wolf in cat's clothing?"
"As you can see, my cat man has been doing some bludgeoning of his own," she
tossed back, inordinately pleased with hers elf as she popped another Dargon
out of the
sky.
The revelations leveled by Zorroc answer ed many of Cat's questions
concerning
his position and responsibility and how they had landed in their current
predicament. He
obviously had been charged with the task of saving his race, an awesome and
nearly
impossible feat. It reassured, rather than discouraged her that Zorroc had
been the one
chosen with the duty of bala ncing the women's safety and welfare against his
obligation
to his people. The two must seem diam etrically opposed, at times. No wonder
he
emanated both unrelenting control and wear y resignation. What an
overwhelming
challenge for one so relatively young. It pr obably explained why, sometimes,
he looked
the picture of autocratic superiority, and at ot hers, more like an angry
panther, trapped in
a cage.
Zorroc witnessed Cat's talent at wea ponry and cursed himself for being an
arrogant fool. He should have known her d eclaration of arms use would prove
no idle
boast. His woman was no ordina ry female; he would have to acclimate himself
to her

way of expressing herself and take nothing at face value. She looked totally
at ease with
their situation as if she had been a part of his world, and life forever.
She was an odd
mixture of vulnerability and resiliency and his heart squeezed with
unfamiliar tenderness
and another emotion he could not name. She did not look defeated by his
confession; in
truth, she acted relieved. Would he ever understand this female?
One heated gaze followed Zorroc's every m ove. So far, Sandra had been
totally
thwarted in her efforts to seduce Zorroc. The other cat men had been easy
enough to
control, giving her their full attention again and again; why not him? How
could she steal
his attention from that little bitch? They a ppeared glued at the hi p but
there had to be
some way to separate them. She d overh eard a conversation between two of
the
crewmembers and learned that Zorroc wielde d a lot of power among his people;
if she
had to be permanently stuck on some God forsaken planet, she would do it first

Her mother had dragged her to every ch arm school and beauty pageant to groom
her little girl for the life of leisure they both craved. Sandra counted
herself an expert at
reclining her way to the top, using any means at her disposal to fulfill her
appetence. The
Gattonians served as interchangeable widgets to use for her pleasure or to do
her bidding. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
