“Perhaps near the front so you can enjoy our little songbird?”
I stifled the urge to brush him aside, but the low-level functionary might prove to be useful. Before I could ask him why they would have birds in an outlaw bar, the crowd erupted in cheers.
I followed all eyes to the illuminated stage and the female who’d just walked onto it, the sparkling red of her dress almost as striking as the dark-red curls piled on top of her head. My heart seized as she smiled at the room, her gaze drifting high over the tables crowding the stage. For a moment, I was sure she looked right at me, and time seemed to slow. Then her gaze moved away, and she took the microphone in both her hands, pulling it toward her mouth like an eager lover.
Snorl barked out a laugh. “You’re not the first to fall for Aubrey at first sight.”
I scowled at him. How dare he imply that I, the Prince of Selk, could fall for a singer in a dirty bar on the outskirts of the galaxy?
I growled and forced myself to look away from the female as she started to sing, but her throaty voice was a punch straight to the gut. I attempted to use the focus techniques that my mother had taught me to block out anything that might cause me harm or trigger the black haze of fury that could so easily consume our people. A little voice in the deepest recesses of my mind chuckled darkly. It hadn’t worked to prevent my stepfather’s barbs from taking root in my heart, so why did I think it would work now?
“Tell me about your songbird,” I finally said, my commanding tone making Snorl jump.
“Aubrey?” He cut a look to the stage, his gaze filled with fondness, greed, and a touch of desire. “She’s our star. She came here after spending half her life gallivanting around the galaxy with her mother.” The creature sighed. “Now that was another one who could captivate a room.”
“She is not from here?”
“Not originally, but she practically grew up on that stage. We have patrons who come here just to hear her sing.”
As the last husky notes of her song faded, the crowd again burst into raucous applause. She gave them a shy smile that I suspected was well rehearsed. How did the female come across as both a temptress and an innocent? Desire pulsed through me, making my heart pound in my chest.
The last thing I needed was a distraction, but I could not tear my eyes from her. She moved languidly, even the subtlest flick of her wrist graceful. When she stole a brief glance behind her to the blue alien at the keyboard and he gave her a warm smile, a strange sensation pummeled me.
“The alien playing with her.” I inclined my head toward the stage. “Are they lovers?”
Snorl almost choked on his own laughter. “Hen? He’s about the only male in here who doesn’t desire her. He’s like a father to Aubrey. Or a mother.”
I gave a curt nod, avoiding Kzan’s curious gaze.
When she closed her eyes and started another song, I was struck dumb. My pulse raced as her husky voice wrapped itself around my heart, and banished all reason from my brain.
“How much would it cost to buy her?”
“What?” My first officer and Snorl asked at the same time.
I pivoted so that I was fully facing the green alien, towering over him as his fleshy folds quivered. “Everything has a price. I require the female as a guide through this galaxy. You did say she spent half of her life traveling through it, did you not?”
“I did, but…”
“Vex?” Kzan’s voice was sharp as he turned abruptly to me.
I silenced him with a sharp look. “We came here searching for someone who knows this space and could provide us with information about the sector. Who better to guide us than this female who has gallivanted around it, as this creature put it?”
“Snorl,” the jowly alien said weakly. “And I didn’t mean for you to take—“
I held up a hand. “We are not taking her. We are buying her. How much?”
Snorl stammered, and his green face mottled. “She is not a slave, although she is paying off a debt to the club’s owner.”
I sensed the creature’s resistance slipping. “Then I will pay your owner double her debt. What she owed him, she can work off for me.” I folded my arms over my chest. “Take me to the owner, and then take me to her.”
The alien stumbled backward, pushing his way through the crowd. I followed with Kzan at my side.
“A guide, Prince?” My second in command’s question was pointed, as was his emphasis on my title.
If he meant to remind me that the Prince of Selk could not consort with a lounge singer, then he didn’t need to bother. I was fully aware that she was off-limits to me. But I could no more control my need to possess her than I could staunch my desire to exact revenge on my half-blood brother. The dormant darkness in my soul—the ancestral rage that all Selk has fought generations to control—would not be denied, even if it could be tempered. I only hoped my hunger for what I could not have would not be my undoing.
