Chapter 8: Just a Taste

Faye didn't know when she had lost her courage. She had avoiding Spike for the better part of a week. She knew she couldn't dodge this particular bullet for much longer. She could tell he was getting impatient and for the man who, until lately, wouldn't waste a breath to warn her of a bullet, this was major.

The cool walls of the skip guided her through the dark passageway leading Faye deeper into the interior of the ship. The sound of her breath seemed magnified as she softly trod forward.

Dammit. When did he become a walking cliché? One that couldn't stop churning out clichés. She was turning him into an idiot. Though of course, had he asked her, he was always an idiot.

Women. This woman. She would be the death of him.

Shit! Was that a rat? When did rats get on the ship? She would never sleep again. There. There was that sound again. A soft muffled slide of claws against metal.

Or was it…

Shit.

Caught.

…man he smelled delicious.
