She was supposed to meet her friends thirty minutes ago at a club across town, but instead she was trapped at a stuffy charity dinner. It may have been for a good cause, but that didn’t mean it wasn’t boring her to tears. The current speaker, an extremely old gentleman, had already spoken for the better part of an hour, and looked like he intended to talk for several more. The worst part was that Inarii had absolutely no idea what he was talking about. She couldn’t even tell if it had anything to do with the charity event. As the daughter of one of the most well known planetary ambassadors on Andras Prime, she was expected to attend most of these charity events, as well as museum openings, movie premiers, and any other well-publicized gala that caught her father’s attention. Her father’s status and her good looks had made her one of the most sought after guests on the capital planet. The notoriety certainly had its advantages. There wasn’t a club on the planet that she couldn’t get into, and she never had to pay for anything. But there were some distinct disadvantages as well. The biggest one being that her father’s assistants had as much say on her social calendar as they did his, and they were constantly on her about whom she should be seen with and what she should be wearing. The only way she had time to herself was when she slipped away from her guards and went out with her friends, like she had planned to do that evening. But first, she was going to have to duck out of this dreary event. Which was going to be interesting with all of the paparazzi keeping an eye on her. If that weren’t enough, Inarii still had to get away from her bodyguard. Which would actually be easier than getting away from the cameras. Though Oland Marsden was one of the more conscientious guards that worked for her father, he’d always considered her the daughter he never had, which made it easy to pull the wool over his eyes whenever she wanted. She glanced over her shoulder to where Oland stood against the back wall. His weathered, middle-aged face had taken on a bored expression, and she smiled as she watched him stifle a yawn. Far faster than she’d thought he would, the speaker finished a few minutes later, to her relief. Quietly excusing herself from the table of philanthropists she’d been seated with, she stood and made her way through the crowd of people now milling about the room to where her bodyguard stood. Oland immediately came to attention at her approach. “Are you ready to leave?” he asked hopefully. She gave him a rueful smile. “I wish, but I promised my father that I would speak to a few people for him,” she said. “You look like you could use some fresh air, though. Why don’t you wait for me outside? I’ll only be a few minutes.” He looked like he wanted nothing more than to do just that, but his sense of duty made him hesitate. “I should stay close, I think, in case you have need of me.” “Don’t be silly, Oland,” she chided. “I’m perfectly safe. Really.” Still, he hesitated, but after a quick glance around the ballroom, he nodded. “Okay,” he agreed, and then gave her a warning look. “But if you’re not outside in twenty minutes, then I’m coming back in to check on you.” Inarii felt a stab of guilt as she watched him leave the room. Her father would probably take Oland to task for allowing her to run off, she thought, but then quickly dismissed the idea, telling herself that her father was smart enough to know that poor Oland had been tricked, and so wouldn’t judge him too harshly. Picking up her skirts, she turned and disappeared into the crowd of well- dressed socialites, before making a beeline for the door on the opposite side of the ballroom. One or two of the cameramen caught sight of her exit, but were unable to get a picture of her before she was out the door. Once outside, she hurried down the empty hallway to the back door of the building. Sensing her presence, it slid open noiselessly. Glancing over her shoulder to make sure that she wasn’t being followed, she darted through the door and out into the night. She’d been afraid there would be a line of people at the transport stand, but to her relief, it was empty. She pushed the button to call for one, and within seconds, a bright yellow transporter dropped down from the sky, floating gently to a halt with just the smallest cloud of dust. She waited for it to completely settle to the ground and the door to slide open, before checking around her one more time to see if Oland had followed her, and then ducking inside. “Destination, please,” the pleasant male voice said as the transporter’s door slid closed. “Deep Space Club,” she told the computer, inserting her personal ident-card into the reader. Once the computer had read her account for sufficient funds, the transporter gently lifted up and merged smoothly with the flow of traffic a few hundred feet above the city streets. Reaching up, she took out the pins that held her hair very artfully in place, and shook her long tresses free, running her fingers through the silken strands as they tumbled down her back. Her transformation only partly complete, she reached for the zipper of her dress next. Naked except for her delicate bra and panties, she shoved the ball gown to the side and reached into her evening bag for the little black dress that she’d brought with her. It was short and skimpy, and made for one thing - turning a man’s head. She had to keep kicking the ball gown out of the way as she dressed. Whoever rode in the transporter would get the added bonus of a free designer evening gown, she thought with a smile. Her father would never notice; she owned hundreds of them. Sitting back, she pulled out her personal communicator and strapped it to her wrist. Her com was one of the latest designer models, and looked more like jewelry than a multi-purpose communicator. She pushed a series of buttons, and while she waited for the com to link, she took the time to apply a fresh coat of gloss to her lips with her free hand. “Inarii! Girl, where are you? The club is filled with hot guys tonight!” Inarii could barely hear her friend over the music playing in the background, but she smiled at her dark-haired friend as the girl’s image appeared in a hologram floating in front of Inarii’s face. Deep Space was the newest and trendiest nightclub on Andras Prime; of course, it was filled with hot guys. “It took me a while to get away, but I’ll be there in two nanos.” “Well, be quick about it!” A handsome blond guy appeared in the image then to nuzzle her friend’s neck, and Inarii laughed. “Hey, Kat, save one or two of those hot guys for me!” Kat’Lyn just smiled. As Inarii thumbed the button that disconnected the link, she couldn’t help but smile as well. Admittedly, getting away from her guards always took some doing, and usually made her feel a little remorseful, but it was always worth it. To anyone in the club, he was just another guy having a drink at the neon-lit, multi-level bar, but he had come to Deep Space for a purpose. To watch Inarii Kal’yle. As he’d watched her con the idiot guard she’d brought with her to the charity dinner, he’d almost smiled. Though she was incredibly skilled at getting rid of her father’s guards, she was absolutely clueless about being followed. Which made things ridiculously easy for him. He had first seen Inarii at a café in the park over a year ago, and since that day, he hadn’t been able to get her out of his head. He had to know everything about her - what her name was, where she lived, how she took her coffee, what her favorite food was, what her favorite color was, where she liked to shop, what size she wore, whether she slept naked or wore something so skimpy to bed that she might as well be naked. He smiled at the image. He had learned all those things and more. He had become closer to her than any of her friends, even her father. Though of course, she never knew. There were probably some that would say he was a little obsessed with her. Perhaps he was. With a shrug, he picked up his drink and took a sip. This club was certainly not to his taste. It was too loud, with too many lights. But he knew that Inarii like this type of place, so he accepted it. The music was horrible, but the Sakarian whiskey was smooth as it went down, and he savored the taste as he watched Inarii dance. She did so effortlessly, moving her arms gracefully above her head while her hips swayed in time to the music. She was the most beautiful woman in the room, and he couldn’t take his eyes off her. Nor, he suspected, could any other man. Floating cameras swirled around her head, transmitting her mesmerizing image to large screens all around the club. He had no doubt that quite a few men would be getting into trouble with their girlfriends for staring at that image. Inarii’s partner pulled her into his arms as the music slowed, and he felt a surge of jealously ripple through him as he watched them dance. His hand tightened on the glass as he struggled to control the emotion, and after a moment, he did. Inarii was his, he reminded himself. The men she danced with meant nothing to her. They were nothing more than accessories to her, like a new bracelet or a pair of shoes. They simply made her look better while she danced. She danced for a few more minutes before moving off the floor to join her friends at the bar. Her partner leaned in close to whisper something in her ear, then left her side and headed to the back of the bar. Almost immediately, another guy moved in, slipping his arm around Inarii’s waist as if to stake his claim on her. She looked startled for a moment, and tried to step away from the newcomer, but the man only tightened his grip and tried to pull her onto the dance floor. From his place by the bar, her admirer wondered if he should go to her rescue, but before he could decide, the man she’d been dancing with earlier came back to the bar, and he was forced to watch the drama unfold. At first, it seemed that the men would settle their differences quietly, but then abruptly, one of them threw a punch. The other man went flying back, falling into several people that were still dancing. A drinking glass went sailing across the room, hitting someone else. More punches were thrown as a result. And then, as if all of the nightclub’s patrons were somehow linked together, the fighting spread, and quickly became a brawl. He heard men yelling and women screaming; one of them could have been Inarii. He saw her and her friends try to get out of the way, but in the crush of people, there was nowhere to go, and he knew it would be up to him to keep her safe. He worked his
