They could be insane.”
    “They’re just children whose parents made the mistake of having them altered for God knows what reason. What if they were ill or something? You don’t know. They’re innocent. And I’ve only seen two cases of insanity while I’ve been here, and you know what? I was saved by people like them. So don’t tell me — ”
    He grabbed her upper arms and hauled her against him. His lips brushed hers in a gentle kiss. “I think you’re incredible. You could have made them suffer.”
    He pressed his mouth against hers again, tangling his hands in her hair. His tongue took advantage of her open mouth, dueling with hers. She leaned into him, sliding her palms around his waist. He tasted like rich, creamy coffee, something he seemed to drink by the pot.
    He backed up, clutching the curve of her ass. Her butt bumped the counter and he lifted her, placing her on it. He wedged his hips between her thighs and ran his hands under her blouse to skim her ribs, but he went no higher, teasing her. She wrapped her legs around his hips and tugged him closer. His erection ground against her clit and she moaned as she rubbed against him.
    There was loud thump upstairs and she jumped and pulled away reluctantly, dazed. “We shouldn’t be doing this.”
    He grinned. “Yes, we should. Though here isn’t the best place. I’m sure they can hear us. The thump was probably a deliberate warning. You’ve done something extraordinary. Something I haven’t seen a lot of normal people do. They hate us. Think we’re dangerous. And most of these people aren’t nearly as dangerous as I am. They’re innocent, like you said.”
    “So you admit you’re dangerous?”
    He arched an eyebrow. “Yes, I can’t possibly deny that. It’s obvious. I have slaves’ barcodes and cybernetic enhancements out the ass. You would know I was lying if I said I wasn’t.”

Chapter Four
    She stared at him for a minute. He took in her beauty. He regretted what he’d have to do now. He might make an enemy of this woman for these people. It was a sobering thought. No, he would do his damnedest not to let that happen. He would have to explain to her. She would understand. He flinched internally. Then again, she might not.
    She surprised him. She was a compassionate woman. It was amazing, since she was the spoiled, rich daughter of a senator who hated his kind.
    She cleared her throat and hopped off the counter, avoiding his gaze. “We need to go. My father expects me at dinner and I still have to get something from Forbidden.”
    “What?” He narrowed his eyes, immediately suspicious. He was supposed to keep her from partying there. It was also rumored that she did a lot of drugs, which she could easily get in that district.
    She shrugged and walked away from him. “Stuff.”
    He grabbed her arm and jerked her to a stop. “I want you to tell me. You’re too good to be out there. It’s dangerous, and I refuse to go if you’re going to get high and drink.”
    She glared at him and tugged her arm out of his grip. He let her go. He could have kept his hold on her. “It’s nothing like that. I haven’t been doing either of those things in a long while.”
    “Then what is it?”
    “It’s food, alright? For these people. I have to get them food bricks. I can’t get them anything that goes bad. But I couldn’t possibly get enough bricks to feed everyone through usual channels. I don’t think we even have them at our house. They taste like shit. They’re strictly everything you need to live, with no regard for flavor. The rich don’t eat them. So I had to get them from someone else. I have to meet my contact in fifteen minutes, and he gets antsy if I’m late. He assumes I’m doing something illegal if I’m getting them from him. Luckily, he’s thought of everything but what I’m actually doing. I trust him enough to get me the food, but definitely not enough to tell him.”
    He snorted. “Yeah, that’s probably for the
