to hide long enough for my crew to override the security checkpoints. And then we are out of here.
“Yes, I think we will take it.” I pay with my card and then slip the item into my pocket. All the while, Jade glares at me as if willing my body to combust into flames. I am not sure if I’ll be able to coax my mate into wearing such delectable garments in the bedroom, but one would certainly like to try. My cock jolts in agreement with me.
We continue perusing the stalls at a leisurely pace. Jade isn’t as horrified by the merchandise as I thought she’d be, which pleases me, but her heart stammers in my ears. I squeeze her hand and smile at her, a silent affirmation, but she doesn’t return the gesture. We move on to the next stall, containing a rather strange assortment of sexual instruments.
“That’s the one! He’s over there!”
The shrill voice booms across the market, and the screens hovering above the stalls illuminate with my face and Jade’s.
Looks like they’ve been looking for us all along. I should’ve killed the madam while I had the chance.
I tighten my grip on the female and charge through the market, no longer caring about those I push aside. My power seeps from me and bleeds into those who attempt to block my path. As soon as I am back on the main street, I hurry toward the lounge. The glass bus shelters and billboards display my profile as a wanted fugitive, which accelerates my escape from the public eye.
Unfortunately, the lounge is already swarming with Enforcers, which means I have no choice but to pivot in search of someplace to hide. The bus shelters and billboards now flash crimson with our faces. Soon the whole district will be looking for us.
I need to find somewhere quickly.
Since I am innately drawn to the shadows, it’s no surprise that the burlesque hotel snags my attention. I pull Jade into my side and march toward it with long, heavy strides. A group of giggling females dance around the entrance with feather boas. I none too gently barge my way through and scan the floor for any Enforcers. We appear to be in luck, but it won’t be long before the drone hovering above the check-in area detects us.
“Down there?” Jade whispers, pointing to the vacant corridor on my left.
I nod and march down it. At the first maintenance closet I find, I use my device to bypass the security code, and then I drag Jade inside with me.
“We don’t have long.” I scroll through the disguise settings on my device and hold it up to Jade. “This will conceal you. It won’t work at the security checkpoints, but it’s enough to get by until we’re on my ship.”
She holds her breath, and I scan the length of her body. When the hologram finishes its assessment, the pixels flicker into the image of a female with completely different features and clothes. She still looks like Jade to me, but to the public eye, she is now Kimora, my newlywed wife.
“Wow!” She spins around, a look of awe flickering over her face. “I look like a totally different person.”
I nod and scan my own body after selecting a generic male form. The instant I am concealed by the hologram, two male voices carry opposite the door.
“Someone appears to already be in there.”
“Who?”
“I don’t know. It is locked from the inside.”
“Then use your pass.”
The sound of the lock activating has me pulling Jade into my arms and kissing her. She tenses at first, but as soon as the door opens, so do her lips. I slide my tongue between them in eager exploration and cradle her face in my hands. For the love of all things dark, my mate tastes even better than she looks. My lust for her grows with my cock, and I groan into her mouth, paying no heed to our spectators.
“Excuse me, this room is for staff only.”
I pull back reluctantly and smile at the two Enforcers. “Apologies, my friends. I cannot seem to keep my hands off this beautiful creature.”
They each run their eyes lustfully over Jade. Even if she doesn’t look like my mate, I wrest the urge to throttle them.
“We understand, sir, but this room is off-limits. If you want to check in, you need to visit the front desk.”
“That is fine,” I say, taking Jade’s hand and stepping out of the closet. “I plan on
