He had never been one to turn down an insane situation that had possibilities.
Surreptitiously, his gaze went to Lucky.
Not going to happen, he realized.
He wasn't leaving this Red. She just didn't know it yet.
For her part, Lucky gritted her teeth not at all liking the interloper who had designs on her
personal Masterstroke!

Kokol winked lewdly at Lucky. "He is good bargaining material; I'll give you that."
"I am wounded to the quick," Wildcat drawled.
Kokol snickered. "I don't think he's quite as gorgeous as you, lover. He has, however, a true
potential."
Wildcat leaned against one hip and crossed his arms over his chest. "Thanks, darlin', I
appreciate the sentiment."
"The advantage, of course," Kokol stood on tiptoe and stared into Kerreth's handsome face,
"is that androids are entirely biddable. Something you could never be."
The tracker's eyes clouded over. "Now why would I want to be accommodating?" He intoned
softly. "Especially since you seem to be the type who gets her pleasure so easily without it."
"Sometimes I like to be the one on top, darlin'." Kokol shot back at him.
Wildcat raised his eyebrows. "Weren't you?"
She snorted. "Figuratively speaking. An android such as this will always do what it is told."
"That is not true." Seeing an opportunity to dissuade the pirate captain, Kerreth jumped into
the conversation. "With certain cases we are designed to be completely intractable."
"Really?" She ran her long fingernail down the front of his chest. "Well, that can be fun, too,"
she whispered.
Kerreth's dislike of the situation showed on his features.
"Enough of this bs, Kokol. Lucky delivered as promised. Are we free to go our separate
ways or are we going to continue standing around here freezing our wontons off? I have a
dinner date I need to keep; you see, I just have to ask my sister how in the hell she got
this this thing in the first place." He gave Lucky a searing look.
Lucky stared at her toe.
"Easy, Cat; we are not wholly done yet& " Kokol threw him a steamy glance. "Are we?"
Wildcat watched her silently from under the sweep of his jet-black lashes.
Kokol's lips parted. He had to be the sexiest man she had ever met. There was a special
command about him that surfaced every now and then; as if he could not hold it back. She
found it thrilling underneath it all Wildcat Arrows was a very dangerous man.
By far, he was the best in her bed. Ever.
She licked her lips at her good fortune at having stopped in that tavern at just the right time.
Too bad she couldn't keep him awhile longer.
Lucky rolled her eyes as she watched the exchange between her brother and the female
pirate. Kokol was acting awfully sappy for a Zoltarian thug.
Geesh.
Wildcat had even managed to sweet-talk a hardened pirate! Unbelievable. Chalk up another
one for Arrows. Go team!!!
Then again, if her brother put in a quarter of the amount of time he did on women towards
actual tracking, they'd be as rich as ol' Midas by now. "Great skill set there, bro, " Lucky
mouthed, shaking her head.
Wildcat inclined his head, totally unapologetic.
A soft chuckle tickled her earlobe.
Cloud! It was easy to forget he was there; however, one never forgot an encounter with a
twilight assassin. Most such encounters were brief and definitely final.
Lucky exhaled. Just knowing that the Auran was nearby made her feel better. She wondered
what he made of all this.
Kokol finally responded to Wildcat's comment but it was not what the Sugarbabe crew
wanted to hear.
"As beautiful as he is, I'm afraid he is not enough in exchange for you."
Wildcat nostrils flared in annoyance. "Come on, Kokol; don't be that greedy. You can sell
him for a fortune on Brigatine and you know it."
"True. True." She tapped her chin with her index finger. "Still, there is the matter of that
interesting bit of miadne& "
"Kokol." Wildcat warned.

"You really don't expect me to go without it, Wildcat." She gestured to her comrades. "We
are pirates; we must have that stone. It is not personal; but we'll probably have to kill you all if
we don't get it." She shrugged as if to say 'what can I do'.
Wildcat frowned, disappointed in her decision. "I don't think anyone is getting that stone,
sweetheart, unless we "
"He's completely right about that. No one is getting the stone except me!"
