.Ja-hun’s mouth closed to a tight line.The smoldering sparks in his eyes winked out, leaving them as cold as black ice.“It’s time to get back now.” His voice was even colder.He hailed a passing waitress and scanned his card on her quickpay, grabbed Leelah’s wrist, and pulled her toward the door.Back in the V-1 speeding toward home, Leelah tried to engage Ja-hun again, but he remained steadfastly silent.“Come on.You can’t act like that didn’t happen, or pretend I threw myself at you.You were kissing me, too, and you liked it,” she exulted.“It was a mistake and won’t happen again.”That was all he’d say no matter how much she wheedled or teased.She felt like a wave beating against a seawall.It might erode a little, but the structure had been built to withstand the battering sea.Finally, even Leelah grew tired of hearing herself talk and fell silent.At home, she jumped out of the car and headed for her room, very aware of Ja-hun right behind her.Was he noticing her ass? She swayed it from side to side in case he was.As she showered, she fantasized about Ja-hun attacking an intruder and saving her.A protection fantasy was cliché yet sexy all the same.Soaping her body, she imagined falling into his arms after he’d fought off the villain.Her hand slipped between her legs for a few moments of play, but she declined to climax again by her own hand.If she couldn’t have a real fuck, she didn’t want to come at all.Her father was going to be home for a late dinner, back from the summit meeting on Anu.Leelah dressed up for the meal, even though she was still full from her late lunch.She’d as soon eat pizza in her underwear, sitting cross-legged in front of the vid, but her dad preferred a little old-school formality.It was a small thing she could do for him.Besides, she looked killer in her green and gold Tsymensi dress and wanted Ja-hun to see her in it.But her bodyguard showed no reaction when she swished past him on her way down to the dining room.He followed her like the faithful attendant he was.He made her think of a silent but deadly Doberman with his sleekness and all his hard angles.“Hi, Daddy.” She crossed the room to hug and kiss her father.“Missed you.How are things in the Free Worlds? Everybody managing not to kill each other?”“Currently.” He smiled and held her chair as she sat.It was apparent no one had told him about her escape.Although her father may have actually supported her reasons for attending the party, he wouldn’t have been happy about her giving the slip to his entire security staff.As much as Leelah had wanted to be rid of Ja-hun when he first arrived, she now wanted to keep him around.She was glad he hadn’t felt the need to report the incident.She chatted with her father about how things had gone at the summit and other political news.The Insurgent Alliance was demanding better working conditions for the poor on planets like Bat and OldEarth, and there was the upcoming penal reform bill that would affect D’jeering and other prison planets.An increasingly large segment of Anu’s population wanted to separate from the Free Worlds to resume self-government.That situation required some tricky maneuvering as her father tried to keep one of the most powerful and wealthy of the Worlds content, yet not cave to their every demand.“Enough political talk.I’m tired of working out solutions to impossible problems.Tell me what you’ve been up to.”“Imprisoned at home mostly, as you know.But last week when I still had a life, I went to a Kingset concert with Trianne.They were great.I mean, the music alone is fantastic, but combined with the vid screen show and the acting, it was amazing.”“Good.I’m glad you enjoyed it, although their music doesn’t much appeal to me.”“Oh, please, you still like OldEarth music from the last century.That rock beat is about as challenging as a child’s puzzle.”They finished their meal and moved to the living room where they sat and debated Leelah’s right to her freedom for a while.As usual, neither of them would budge on the topic.“You can’t coddle me forever,” she told him for the hundredth time.“I understand the dangers, the possibility for someone to use me as a tool to get to you, so I’m willing to have bodyguards.But this house arrest is ridiculous.Why did I bother to study social politics if I’m not going to be allowed to get out in the world and use my skills?”“There are programs you could oversee for me.And administrative position would be a useful and safe way to use your education.”“But, Daddy, working directly with people is what I want to do.Something really hands on.” She threw up her hands.“Shenje! I don’t know why I bother.I’m going to bed now.Goodnight [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
