Gigi by Nena Duran Read Free Book Online

free. Last but not least, she was the sexy alien’s, Briq’s, prize. Another thought crossed her mind. He probably wanted to have sex with her. Are we even compatible?
    She wandered her gaze down his hard, sculpted body to settle on the bulge between his legs. Oh dear, they were very compatible indeed. Gigi looked up at him, catching the smoldering look in his eyes. Her clit responded instantly, throbbing in tempo with his sexy rumble.
    “Mor’u, you shouldn’t look at me like that.”
    “Like what?”
    “As if I were someone worthy of you.”
    “How do you know you’re not?”
    “Because I’m a thief, a liar, and above all, a killer without a conscience.”
    “Then we’re more alike than not. A killer you might be, but without conscience, no. Do you want to know what I see? I see a man who risked his life to keep me safe.”
     She reached up and caressed the long bumps on his arms. She was surprised at how soft and warm his textured skin was. She heard that soft rumble again. Interesting. Was he turned-on by her touch? She didn’t have the chance to find out. A wave of dizziness came over her.

    Briq ran into his cabin yelling “A.I., find Xy.” Something was wrong with ula’ah mor’u. He could feel it. She was the most delicate female he’d ever seen. She’d told him her name was Gigi and she was from Earth. He’d never heard of such a planet. She looked like a Pendo’rahn only smaller. And her red hair… It was the most incredible thing he’d ever seen. Star shine.
     “What’s wrong with her? Did you break her?” Xy asked, rushing in clutching the datapad containing their winnings.
    “I don’t know what’s wrong. She’s very weak and can’t stand on her own. Bring the bio scanner.”
    Xy had to take the scanner from Briq. His hands shook so badly. He held her tightly as his friend ran it over Gigi’s body.
    “Scan completed. Subject requires immediate medical attention. Life termination imminent without it,” the A.I. said after running through the scanner information.
    “Proposed solution?” Briq dreaded the answer. What if there was none?
    “Subject needs high-grade medical gly-urq to repair her damaged organ.”
    Her bio-readings were weak because she was sick. He wasn’t losing her, even if it cost him his last credit. There was only one creature in the badlands capable of helping. He wasn’t looking forward to it, but Mor’u was worth any sacrifice he had to make.
    “Xy, open commlink to Lo’prus’ lab.”
    “Are you sure you want her involved?”
    “What choice do I have? I won’t lose Mor’u. ”

    Lo’prus ran another scan, agreeing with the A.I. His mor’u was dying of an untreated heart condition. She was now submerged in sub-standard medical gly-urq until they could find someone to treat her. According to Lo’prus, Gig’s condition could be reversed with the proper equipment and the best nano-infused substance.
    He refused her offer to find some if he allowed her to take samples of Gigi’s blood. Lo’prus told him his female was genetically similar to a Pendo’rahn female with some variations. Her looks were certainly similar to them.
    Having someone confirm what he already suspected was bittersweet. Briq killed Lo’prus to protect Gigi . He wasn’t risking her life by having Lo’prus divulge this knowledge. He recoiled inside, thinking how his little one would react if she found out how casually he’d done it.
    Before today, he hadn’t cared how others might perceive him. He was a coldblooded killer. No one was safe from his rage, except now for Mor’u. Thank the goddess he’d purchased a six-month supply of the inhibitor since he was now out of a supplier.

    They docked at Galadonia’s spaceport three weeks later. Briq relinquished command to Xy and stayed with Gigi. They were now at Xy’s SCUD—Self-Contained Underground Dwelling. The Galadonian medic who’d examined Gigi told him she was living
