“Thanks hun, you know me, one drink wonder, got a long drive so the caffeine is perfect”. Alex took a sip and visibly relaxed. “Umm it is perfect”. Ryan laughed at her expression. “I see you’re still a caffeine nut”. Alex nodded.
“Sooo, you still doing 12 hour days 5 days a week or are you doing reasonable hours now?” He asked her. Alex laughed, it always came back to work issues. “You know the job Ryan, it is what it is”.
“Its gonna kill you is what it is” Ryan choked back emotionally. Alex smiled and squeezed his arm, Ryan had given up mainstream social work finding it too demanding and emotionally wearing, Alex could sympathize. All those that came out of university thinking they were going to make change and save lives were often disillusioned when reality kicked in and unable to cope with the demands of the job, they left finding something easier to work with.
“No need to worry Ryan, the jobs the job”. Resigned, Ryan nodded. “Yeah, sure”. They both knew Alex gave too much.

Tah had followed the conversations round the room and moved to the couple at what was called the ‘bar’. The female had recently returned from what was called the ‘rest rooms’. Tah did not understand this phase. Having checked the place out initially on arrival for any possible threats. The ‘rest room’ was not a place anyone would want to rest. Mostly, they were not nice places. They were places where your bodily needs were disposed of. The males rest room far from pleasant, far worse than the females. The smell with his heightened senses made him gag. That kind of mess was uncalled for.
Tah moved to get a better view of the female. As he glimpsed her. Tah had to shake the shock of surprise off himself, this can’t be the right person that the others had talked about? But the name was correct. This Alex was not old and wizened at all. Clearly no elder. He wondered again if he had the right person. Tah touched his PID and looked at the records for this organisation. She had been called a Team Manager. Tah checked again, his concentration distracted by that heavenly scent. His nose tickled and twitched. Tah breathed deeply. It was …….. amazing, he felt he could breathe it in forever, never ending. It was nothing like the artificial and created smells of this world. He’d had plenty of that to deal with over the past week. This was natural. Sweet, warming but not sickly. Clean, like a new sun rise. Tah felt himself being compromised. He had a sudden moment of being out of control. Being led. He leaned forward towards this Alex as if being pulled magnetically to her.
Tah shook his head and refocused. What the hell was going on? He looked around sharply. Had he been infected with something? Everyone was where he’d seen them before. No one had come near him. The other smells the same as before. Tah checked his PID. The air was tainted with bi products of this Earth but not any known drugs to influence him were present in any of the scans. Suddenly, Tah’s body went on warrior alert. His chest expanding and his limbs loose. Strength streamed into him from his core. Battle blood. Where was that smell coming from? Tah moved around the space checking for possible attack and moved into a protective stance and found none.
It took all his will power to bring his Battle Blood under control. Tah turned his attention back to the couple at the bar, Tah observed the female. Her name was Alex. She was small for a Human, barely came up to his chest. She had what was called ‘blond hair’ pulled back at the nape of her neck. It looked thick. Shinny. Some strands had come loose and were haloed around her face. Tah wanted to brush them back from her face. He had an intense need to touch her.
Woooah. Tah stepped back. What did that mean? Tah shook his head again to clear it. This time he really looked at the female. Her clothing seemed masculine known as a ‘suit’. She had a clear complexion and her eyes were a deep blue. Tah liked those eyes, they were unique to him and drew him in. This Alex was nothing remarkable by Earth standards from what they considered ‘beautiful’. It meant little to him. His race did not judge by anyone’s standard of ‘beauty’. She looked nice, he thought but no goddess as Earth literature spoke of, and she looked like no elder he knew either.
Tah observed the interaction between Alex and the male, he noticed she was offering moral support both verbally and physically as she reached out to touch this Ryan’s arm. As the female made contact, a growl burst out of Tah. Guttural and harsh and loud. Tah shocked, quickly backed away. What the hell had just happened? He never lost control. And, what in the depths of hell was that? That sound coming from him. A memory surfaced but he could not pin it down. Surprise hit him as he had to bite back further outbursts. His gums ached looking for blood. Something was wrong.
The thought of this Alex touching the male was not angered him. His reason told him they were not involved as a pairing but he felt he was struggling for control. He felt the blood rage start to surface. He swallowed hard. Taking calming breaths. Placing his focus elsewhere. He needed to speak to her. To understand what was happening here. Tah did not understand this reaction to the female. There was no mention of it in the Earth information. Did Earth women entice males with their smell? This was a threat to this people. Something unknown. Not recorded. He was a strong male and if he could react in such a manner to a female of Earth, then others would fall easily. Tah realised standing there that this was not going to give him the answers he needed. Walking to the back of the bar, Tah entered the rest room for males. Seeing it empty, Tah materialised, placed his PID in camo and turned back towards the bar. He needed answers and he would get them.
***
Ann had just seen the guy walk out of the rest rooms. OMG, he was gorgeous with a capital G. She hadn’t seen him go in but hay, it’s a free world right. She told herself grinning. Simply drop dead gorgeous. Amazingly tall and muscular and big, real big, riding that bad boy biker look. He must be a model, she reasoned, worked out a lot but those features, defined and bordered on beautiful in a manly way and that hair, wow, any women would die for it. He carried himself confidently. This guy knew how to live. Maybe he was a model part time and a soldier of some kind with lots of yummy skills, she mused. Ann’s mind was going into overdrive.
“Clare, check this out”. Ann elbowed Clare and nodded in the new guy’s direction. Clare’s mouth dropped open.
“Halloooo” Ann whispered licking her lips. The new guy appeared distracted, he’s attention over at the bar. Ann nudged Clare with a wicked smile.
“Dibs. Let’s go”.
“Hello, can I help you, I’d like to be of help to you” A female had walked right into his path. Tah stopped abruptly and looked around at the voice. He’d only taken a few steps into the bar when halted by two females.
“I’d really like to help myself to you too”. Smiled the second one, clearly both had been partaking of the alcohol thought Tah. His attention taken, Tah lost sight of Alex at the bar and addressed the two females before him. With a tight smile he told them honestly,
“I am sorry, I do not know you and it would not be proper to have you help me in any way”. Tah tried to side step them. They moved with him. Both females turned and stared at each other for several moments with their mouths open, then both burst out laughing at him.
Tah felt very confused and his face must have looked it, they laughed again at him.
“O yeah, your coming with us big boy, the parties over here”. A female took an arm each and led a very confused Tah, past Alex who was smiling madly at them, with her thumb in the air, Tah wasn’t sure what that meant but he felt it wasn’t good, over to the group that had been talking about Alex previously.
Ok Tah thought, I’m integrating and could learn much from this, how bad can this be?
***
O it was very bad, Tah lost sight of Alex early on, she had somehow slipped past him and left the building, his warrior instincts taking a hit and he was with several of her staff on what turned out to be a ‘night out on the town’. That consisted of lots of alcohol, very little to eat and lots of males trying to prise the females away with them. Tah was at a loss. The males annoyed him. They were not honourable. They would not take the hint. He was trying very hard not to draw a weapon but it was getting harder by the hour.
He was practically running back and forth, running interference trying to save the females honour but they did not seem to understand the danger. They ordered drink after drink. He refused to drink himself and had tried to tell them that they were becoming intoxicated and that it was unsafe. It was clear to Tah the females in the group thought everything he said was amusing, in Earth English ‘funny’, ‘hilarious’, he had had to look them up, it had them falling over themselves in what seemed ‘hysterics’ leading to them exhibiting tears, leaving him very confused for most of the night.
At seeing their tears, he had asked if they were hurt and who should he kill? They only laughed harder. Tah felt he suffered for many hours until they let him go at 3am. They thanked him for being a ‘good sport’. This made no sense to him. They were not playing a ‘sport’ and nothing had been good about the evening. At that point he had been dragged down to their level by his top and received a kiss on the cheek in turn from all the females. That made him even more confused as they bodily touched him and were not related or mated. As they walked away from him, the one called Ann called over her shoulder,
“I’ll tell Alex you were asking after her big guy” and they simply left him. Tah did not know if he should be relieved they were gone or worried. It had been a most confusing night. On his return to his ship Tah realised that not once, did he feel drawn to any of the women as he had in the bar. This was indeed strange if the Earth women attracted males in this way.
Why did he only feel this earlier on? ……

Louise Kanista (Lou to her friends) woke up one morning in a room, in an abandoned building in a city of sky towers on a Tech world. She couldn’t remember how she'd got there, just that she seemed around 5 years old and that was her life, the streets were all she knew. Lou reasoned that she hadn’t been alone on the streets as a baby or toddler, someone, had to have cared for her but she didn’t remember who that was or why they’d left her, but she never forgot they did.
Her tiny heart would ache, and a panic attack would overtake her. Fear had been her life. Fear of being alone, fear of being taken, fear of being found. All she had was her name, no memory of pre-school, just a sense of abandonment and extreme hunger. Hunger that took her out of hiding in search of food. Lou had learnt quickly.
Find a job that paid and stay out of people’s way. Laundry, carrying shopping bags, dry cleaning, take-aways, collecting card, tin, bottles, anything that made a uni-credit, that meant survival. She’d been luckier than most, keeping to herself, she hadn’t been used or abused, taken by a gang or bad people and or sold. She’d kept to the shadows and eventually found Ameena.
A coder with a heart of gold. Ameena had seen her hanging around and offered to share her lunch. That was the first day and everyday thereafter, till she offered her a job. She needed a gofer. Lou took it and gradually told her story. She didn’t know if Ameena believed her or not but, she went on to offer her a place to stay and Lou took it. Ameena fed her, sent her to school, opened her mind to what life could be like and the opportunities, it could give. Then introduced her to her first love and a whole new world, code, computers and the beauty of software opened up before her eyes. And Lou understood it all...

Fear, stood on the Bridge of his ship and looked at the Space Station the Cyborg Empire called home. A Captain and Councilman, he’d been called to a meeting and sent on a mission. A new threat from Earth Corp demanded they act. The Empire didn’t want war but if Earth Corp wanted one, they’d get it. Cyborgs had long memories, they lived very long lives and wanted a future. The last war might have been over 45 years ago but they all knew that meant nothing.
They’d been created to fight, to hunt and were very good at it. They didn’t age like humans, logic ruled them, they were solid muscle and bone, with cybernetic upgrades and created to be bigger and better, than any enemy and they were. They used those skills to explore their other needs, other passions, and searched for answers to other desires.
Intel brought information that they were under attack and for the first time, Cyborgs were at a disadvantage. Cyborg base code was years out of date. With no possible upgrades in the intervening years since they fought to be free, that meant data had to be picked up from other vessels, colonies and planets. And, it was only as good as its creation. None of it cutting edge or advanced enough to help. They needed upgrades and fast, and a specialist who could understand how they were created, read their code and provide them with a new and improved version, one, that couldn't be compromised or hacked, if it came to war shutting them down, putting all their lives at risk.
It was dangerous work. Dark web stuff, they needed a thief, who could steal their creation code and any upgrades Earth Corp had and if the price was right, have no problem doing it.
And he knew just where to find one....

A word from the Author.
Hello, I'm Jessie and I thank you for buying this book! I know you did not have to.
There are so many choices out there. It's a wonderful feeling knowing that someone else will enjoy one of my stories. And for me, it's about telling a story that I'd like to read myself.
I am not caught up in POV or literacy genius. It's simply not me or my style and I will never be that person, so I apologize to all those who are focused on the POV and the genius of literacy. I envy those that are.
On the days where my pain and meds stop my thinking processes, writing these books have been my lifeline. It reminds me that I still have the ability to rise to the challenge and that I refuse to go quietly into the night.
But, I'm a person just like you, who wants to bring some passion into my life and yours, and put a good story out there that's hard to put down, that brings some escapism, sexy fun and pleasure into your reading. We all love a bit of that!
And, I hope I achieve that for you in this book. I sincerely hope you enjoy it so much that you want to look out for the next in the series. (Coming soon) And if I'm lucky, you will have had such a good time, you'll recommend it to your friends and I thank you kindly.
My very best wishes to you and yours. Jessie x
