The guard extended his hand out.Zera placed a single drop on his palm and corked the tube again.“Give it a lick.”
Tycho shrugged, swiped his tongue across it, and when it hit his mouth, his eyes widened and then closed, and he groaned as he shuddered in place.
Kritz asked Zera, “Did he just?”
She snorted.“Yes.Cabree’s body contains infinite pleasure, but she has to spill it on the ground to keep herself warm.”
Arcady blinked.“Are you saying her blood is a liquid orgasm?”
“Yes.And she has to discard it to keep herself alive.She can get hypothermia in her own skin.”
Tycho murmured, “I had no idea.”
“No one does, but she’s quitting the BDC because she really needs a drinker to keep herself at a normal temperature.”
“So, she needed me, and I mocked her.”
“Yes.”
“Can I have another drop?”
“Never.Well, not unless she finds a partner, and the partner is willing to share.”
Zera’s com lit up withNot.Fucking.Likely.
“Come on, Cabree.It could happen.”
Hah!

Seven days after resigning, Cabree was spending every moment lying in the sun and paying for her sister’s expenditures.
When the sun went down, she went into her room and did troubleshooting and coding for new projects until she went to sleep.It was her first vacation in eight years.
Starting with Z-Tech as a young graduate, she had been flattered that Zera had considered her code for some of the more public-facing projects.She had been given shares in the companies, and nothing had been more motivating.
Millions of credits made their home in her accounts, so spending five hundred thousand on her family just this once before she found a new spot on the globe to nest was nothing.
She had portable skills, and the fewer folk who had to see her bloodletting to stay alive, the better.
She heard a chime and got up, dressing for her dinner for one, and she slipped on her heels.The fact that she was an active was glaringly obvious at night.She glowed gently.That meant she got to eat on her own.
She put her computer in a lockbox and left the room to go to the dining room.
She walked down the hall, her heels tried to click, but the carpets were too thick as she used the gait that they had taught her in escort basic training.She had taken the classes, memorized the scenarios, and could get herself off in under a minute or slowly over thirty minutes.She would have been a good escort, but she had never gotten started.
She walked up to the podium and smiled.“Cabree for one?”She had no idea why it always ended up being a question, but it did.
“Of course, Madam.Please come this way.”The woman smiled and led her way into the very elegant corner that Cabree preferred.She read the menu, and when her server came over, she smiled and made her selections.The glass of cider was what she preferred instead of wine, but she felt a gaze on her as she gently rotated the stem between her fingers.
She casually looked around and found a few couples looking her way.She sat in shadows, and her glow was unmistakable.
The server came back and settled her napkin across her thighs.“Have a good day, Madam?”
“Yes.It was lovely.I just lay in the sun all day.”
“You didn’t go to the shore?”
