Charlotte Boyett-Compo- WIND VERSE- Hunger's Harmattan

  “Just for a minute,” she said, and went over to her side of the bed and climbed in, stretching out beside him.

  He put his head on her shoulder and was quiet for so long she thought he’d fallen to sleep but just as she started to get up, he said, “He wasn’t with her.”

  Shanee frowned. “Who, ehemann?”

  “Acklard,” he said. “He wasn’t with her on R-9 and he’s out there doing the gods only know what.”

  She knew that preyed on his mind. He had suggested they ask Strom if they could be assigned to find Acklard and the other Ceannus, to put an end to their reign of potential terror.

  “They’re still looking for Chiaroscuro,” she said. “When they find it, we’ll go after him.”

  “And kill the bastard who hurt me,” he said, his voice muffled by the drug.

  “Aye, and kill the bastard who hurt you.”

  She heard his breathing slow and knew he was asleep. She eased his head from her shoulder and bent over to kiss his brow.

  He was such a handsome man and her heart and soul belonged entirely to him.

  Tomorrow would be time enough to tell him about the baby growing inside her.
