world to rise up and overthrow the men that were ruining things for all of them. That guy already had a world of trouble looking for him and they’d managed to add to it. It had to be the same guy, Envy couldn’t imagine that big of a coincidence.
“I’ll leave you both to it.” His glance hit the completely trashed bed. Her face heated. The man left quickly.
“Strange guy.” Justice finally said. Envy moved to the cart. Grabbed her clothes off it, and went to the bathroom to change. When she came back out, Justice was dressed in leathers. Like Mr. Sexy needed tight fitting leather clothes so he would look even sexier. “Damn! You look hot.”
She was wearing a skin-tight cat suit made of a material she didn’t recognize. “Thanks.” Was all she said because she didn’t know what the hell to say.
They sat down eating quickly and Strong came after them in no time. “You two ready?” He asked. “We need to leave now to get to the site in time for pick up. They arrived early. Crazy Mazlans like to do things their way. It’s not far, this will be their first stop so we’ll be hoofing it.”
“We’re ready, but what about my bike?” Justice said as he slid his baton on the back of his vest. Luckily, there was a slot for it. Whoever loaned the outfit to Justice must like to be loaded with weapons too.
“You rode a bike here?”
“We left it about a mile back and hid it well.”
“Shit!” Strong said. “That could cause trouble. Let’s go get it and I’ll give you the GPS location to meet the ship once you have the bike and are ready to go.”
“Thank you.” Envy said. It was clear the change of plans and the presence of the bike had upset him.
They left the pirateer’s hideaway carefully after his perimeter cameras, guards, and alarms showed it was clear. It was easy until they hit the briars, brambles, weeds, and bushes. The suit she was wearing had long sleeves and even though it was soft, it protected her well. Justice helped her whenever the going got rough.
“Did you pick the roughest patch of ground on the planet to hide your bike in?” Strong asked.
“It’s in your territory,” Justice answered with a chuckle.
“It’s intended to keep people out, not offer a hiding spot for valuables.” Strong insisted.
“Whatever works,” Justice answered with a shrug. “We’re almost there so you don’t have to cry anymore.”
“Damn it, I’m not crying. I just can’t believe you made a lady walk through this twice.” Strong observed.
“Well, look what the privateer dragged in.” A cold male voice noted.
“Menace, I see you’ve somehow managed to stay alive.” Strong sounded unhappy about that fact.
“Well, I’ve been doing bounty hunting. Seems the little filly is worth her weight in gold.” Menace drawled.
“Is she worth your life?” Justice asked with a growl.
“Is she worth yours?” He returned mildly.
“Damn straight,” Justice admitted.
The two began to circle looking like two alpha dogs fighting over a steak. They were close in size with Justice having only a slight advantage. The fists began to fly so fast it was hard to follow, but it was clear who the better fighter was. Justice fought with supernatural skill, pummeling Menace all over his body and taking few hits in return. A kick to his chin knocked him out and his body fell hard. He moved in and Envy looked away unwilling to see more violence.
“Stop,” Strong said. “Don’t kill him.”
“Why not?” Justice asked curiously.
“He’s my brother. Now that you’ve beaten him, he’ll leave you alone and let you go. No one will ever know he saw you.” Strong explained.
“How are you so sure you can trust him?”
“It’s the rules he was raised by and he might be an asshole, but he still follows them.” Strong admitted.
Justice shrugged. “Let’s get on the bike, Envy. Where do we go now?” He climbed on and gave her a hand as she settled in behind him.
Envy saw relief all over
