Cyn (Moon Hunter's Inc. Book 2) by Catty Diva

deny the sex had been amazing, a man considered those kinds of things too. A feeling told him he would never find another woman like Cyn.
    He finished cleaning up then dried and dressed. Was there really ever any doubt about the decision he would make? Maybe he had just wanted to punish Cyn to salve his wounded pride. It was time to search her out and make her an offer she couldn’t resist.
    Alex walked down the hallway with people jumping out of his way to let him by. He was on the right floor and he was almost to her door. Bear waved as he passed him. Good. She would be there alone so they could talk. His finger pressed the buzzer and he heard it go off. Tapping his foot lightly, he waited impatiently, but there was no answer.
    Maybe she was in the bathroom. He pressed the buzzer again holding it in longer this time. “You can hold it down as long as you want, but no one is in there.”
    Alex turned to see Bear was standing behind him. “Where is she?”
    “I don’t know. She had everything packed and taken to the ship first thing this morning. Cyn left just before lunch and I haven’t seen her since.”
    “She can’t have left the station yet. Right?”
    “As far as I know, the first ship leaves at six. If she left earlier it was by private transport.”
    “Thanks, Bear.” Alex felt a little crazy now. She was hiding somewhere on the station or she had snuck away and left him behind.
    He got out his com. “Security.”
    “Yes, sir. Did you need something?”
    “Yes, I need you to find guest Cyn with Moon Hunter’s.”
    “Yes, sir. It will take a few minutes since we’ll have to scan for her.”
    “I’ll be waiting.”
    “I’ll let you know as soon as we do.”
    Alex stalked out the hallway not knowing what to do and feeling tension throughout his body. How had he ever imagined he could let her go? Now she may have gotten away and he might never get her back. What would he do then?
    His com buzzed. “Hello.”
    “We found her in the tail area of the space station. Do you want us to apprehend her?”
    “No, I’ll go check on her. Thank you.”
    “You’re welcome, sir. Do you need anything else?”
    “No, that will be all. Return to your usual duties.”
    “Yes, sir.”
    The com went dead and he turned to walk in the direction of the tail section. He wondered what she was doing there. There were many possibilities, but he thought they had already removed everything of value. When he entered the main area where the cages were, he was surprised to see her sitting in a cage staring out through the bars.
    He wasn’t sure if she was aware of his presence until she looked right at him. “How did they survive under these circumstances?”
    “I don’t know. It couldn’t have been easy and not all of them did.”
    “My parents were alive not very long ago and might still be. That means they survived this for a long time.”
    “Yeah, mine survived at least long enough to have half a dozen kids. The will to live must have been strong.”
    “What are you doing here?” She asked as if she suddenly remembered there was no reason for him to be anywhere she was.
    “I was looking for you. My mind has been going over things and I’m not willing to let you go. It was a bad situation you were in and you made the best decision you could based on what you knew. I don’t want you to leave. I’m asking you to stay with me. Let’s see where this relationship goes.”
    “Cash won’t be pleased. If I stay and it doesn’t work out, I won’t have a regular job anymore.”
    “Is that all that’s stopping you?”
    “I thought we had a strong bond for just having met. You made me doubt myself. Now, I suppose I’ll question everything. Some people don’t place much faith in love and I think you’re one of those people.”
    “You’re right. I have always been one of those people and I’m not saying this is love, but whatever it is, I’ll admit it strong. It’s never been my way to put faith in something
