“I want to take you out. Show you the man outside the Regulator.” In a short time, Captain Frost had come to mean more to him than he’d ever dreamed she could. He envisioned a future, with her in his arms, maybe a couple of children, retirement, and their own home—maybe here on New Xiera. “You didn’t need to call the locals on him.” She pulled her face away and stared at the damned door where the Underground leader had exited. The pain in her eyes told him she wanted to chase Brodie and fix things between them. Not happening. That bastard had his chance and threw it away. Seth didn’t share, and he wasn’t about to back off a second time to give the fuck-up a chance to patch up what they’d had before. This time he’d be the one to stake claim. He’d seen the emotion in her eyes when they’d made love. This thing between them had grown into something much more than a casual encounter, and gods, for once in his life he wanted it to be.
