He was perusing scout logs in his NS vision at the shitty bar on the other side of the ship when Bretton appeared in front of him, a blur behind the augmented visuals.
âDidnât expect to see you in this shithole.â Orion cleared the docs to bring Bretton into focus. âPilotâs bar kick you out?â
âJust felt like a change.â Bretton shrugged, and Orion didnât miss the way his eyes flicked to the plump little server behind the counter.
âRight.â Orion knocked back the remainder of his shot.
âHowâs married life treating you?â
âNot married yet, brother.â
Bretton smirked. âGreat, so youâre still a free man.â
âAlways,â Orion said flatly.
So why have I only felt like fucking one highly unavailable little psycho since I got back?
âGood. Then you can join the festivities tonight.â
âFestivities?â
âHeard word Zenith is doing a fly-by. Theyâll be around long enough to set up an âofficial social function.â That means kerogel on tap for us masses. Probably some fancy vodka or something for you lot. You know how they like it, with their parties.â
Orion did recall something about a social liaison thing earlier that morningâa notification he had dismissed immediately. Zenith was one of the most prestigious colonies in the business. Often credited for finding the most ice planets to mine, they had resources and used them freely. Some were beginning to think theyâd forgotten the primary mission in favor of drunken debauchery. To each his own, Orion supposed.
âAnyway, Iâve got a mission report to deliver. See you there?â Breton clasped his shoulder.
âProbably.â
A mission report. He and Bretton had both learned to fly when they were younger on Colossal. The difference was that Bretton was allowed to continue his training and become a respected pilot. Orionâs flying, in the meantime, got him banished to Mars and banned from setting foot in a cockpit.
He mulled over his waste of talentâheâd been damn good, and he knew itâover his third shot of kerogin. He wondered if Kaia missed piloting that hunk of junk she left behind. Sheâd gotten a taste of the needlefinâs controls in their escape, and she was good. That side of herâthe forbidden, unlicensed sideâwas part of what made her so damn enticing.
Now she was probably in class somewhere, learning some fucking nonsense. Tied down and castrated so his mother could turn her into a good little commanderâs wife. If it were up to Orion, her only responsibilities would be to fatten up, spread her legs, and provide him with some much-needed distraction with that sharp tongue of hers.
A genius idea came to Orion as he downed another shot. He tipped the bar and headed back to the bow.
