Security Agent’s Alien Bartender
AGENT EMILY IPSY IS determined to make a name for herself. That leads to unauthorized shifts and sneaking around. She keeps running into Anthracite, the bartender. If he’s really just a bartender, why is he everywhere—and why can’t she stop thinking about him?
Anth is stationed at Olympus Station on assignment from his government. He’s there to do a job, but Emily keeps getting in his way. She’s maddening, distracting, and pure temptation. He needs to keep his eyes on the job and hands off the security agent, but that’s proving impossible. When an old enemy of his people surfaces, he’ll need Emily’s help to find out why Baatesh is there and stop what he’s doing. After working with her at his side, will he ever want to let her go?
Chapter One
IT WAS LATE AT NIGHT or early in the morning, depending on one’s perspective. Though Emily Ipsy, Olympus Station security agent, was technically off duty, she was still monitoring the situation closely.
The situation being Anthracite, ostensibly just the bartender at the bar on the promenade deck, but she was starting to suspect he was more. She kept seeing him turn up wherever she was, though she was certain he wasn’t following her. She was sure he had no idea she was trailing or observing him.
She wasn’t officially authorized to do so, but with her resolve to be promoted, she was determined to find something that could help her with that goal. If she could stop a crime before it happened or bring someone dangerous like Anthracite to the attention of Commander Templeton, it could only help her ambitions.
What had started out as a general all-purpose mission to ensure everything was as it should be had narrowed down over the past few weeks to focus on Anthracite. The man was everywhere, and he’d drawn her suspicion.
She followed him now, easily picking him out among the people crowding the club. Most beings were interested in hooking up or unwinding, but there was an air of purpose about Anthracite that added to her suspicions. She followed discreetly, trying to keep enough distance between them that he wouldn’t realize he was being followed while not risking losing him. With his distinctive red skin and red-black horns, she wasn’t likely to anyway.
She stumbled to a stop, quickly darting behind a canoodling throuple when Anthracite stopped at a table, sitting down with one of his own kind. There usually weren’t many diabels on Olympus Station, so two of them together was enough to pique her interest. Lifting her wrist comm, she used it to record a video of the two of them together, wishing she were close enough to pick up what they were talking about to record that as well.
Whatever the meeting was about, and it certainly didn’t seem to be anything but a meeting, it was over quickly. Anthracite said something to which the other man responded before passing over what looked like a small case. Emily was certain it was a data chip, having seen those cases all her life.
She was dying to know what was on it, so she waited until Anthracite had left his meeting, slipping through the dance club several paces behind him. It was going to be harder to follow him once they were out of the club, so she waited near the entrance for a tick, though afraid to wait too long and lose track of him.
As she darted out, she looked first to the left and then to the right, seeing the red flash of his tail as he turned down the corridor. She quickly went that direction, though trying to maintain a casual distance. She slipped down the corridor he had followed, looking for him, and once again saw a flash of his tail as he turned to the left farther down.
She waited a moment before following him, hoping she didn’t miss him.
When she rounded the corner of that corridor, she looked around and saw nothing. She frowned in confusion since there was nothing but storerooms around her. If she recalled correctly from the schematics, this was a storage area for the businesses and shops on the promenade, and as she started to read the doors, the one labeled for the bar opened, revealing Anthracite.
She started to think of a pretext, or simply just nod and walk by, but before she could, his tail snaked out, wrapped around her waist, and jerked her inside the room with him. The door closed a moment later, and she pressed her back against it.
Fear crept over her, making her respiration increase and her heart rate rise. She stared up at him in shock, licking her lips as she braced herself for him to hurt her.
He leaned closer, and there was definitely an edge of menace about him, so it was a surprise when his tone was perfectly pleasant as he said, I’m flattered that you keep following me, Agent Ipsy. If you wish to mate, you only have to ask.
Her eyes widened, and she gasped in outrage. How dare he proposition her? Even worse, if she didn’t follow the cue he was giving her, she risked blowing her entire operation and losing all the time she’d spent following him. She opened her mouth. I...
Are you shy? Perhaps you think I’m not interested in humans? You’ll find I have eclectic tastes, Agent Ipsy.
He leaned closer, trailing a knuckle down her cheek. Or should I call you Emily?
She licked her lips again, nerves assailing her. She was uncertain how to respond. He was giving her the perfect opening to pretend like she hadn’t been following him, or at least not for the reason he suspected, but could she really go through with it? Could she fake an
