I said to Ayres. My head rested on his chest in the aftermath of our lovemaking. I hadn’t revealed to him that in the last moments I’d felt Lara’s presence and seen Cade’s face. “Lara.” He said her name without emotion. I envied him his detachment. Telling myself that she was doomed anyhow didn’t quite ease my conscience as it had in the beginning of all this. Although, revenge wasn’t our sole reason for being here. Lourde’s unexpected arrival on Taseeus had reinforced the fact that Calixtus, with Baynar at the helm, was a dangerous thing. Not only for their planet, but for Earth as well. But did it justify what we planned to do? “She’s a virgin, the right age, and from Earth, so she’s perfect.” Just as I had been. I recalled for Ayres the strange experience that had woken Lara up, the feeling that she’d been ripping in half, causing her to cry out and Cade to come running.
