Welcome to Science Fiction Fantasy Saturday. Snippets of ten sentences or less are yours for the reading!
When last we met, Blade started a very public game with Bo over a drink. We pick back up with it as they both play out their roles of holofeature bad boy and his elegant and refined Kiara mistress under the unblinking eye of both his adoring public and the unforgiving media. Bo is bristling at the game already.

“You know I can take that thing away from you if I wanted to.”
He shook his head. “You’d only spill it, and then where would you get another?”
Bo turned in his embrace. “I’m not going to play your little game, Blade.”
“Yes you are,” he whispered in her ear. He held the glass between them and waved it under her nose. “You’re going to be undercover for a long while yet. I’ve got to debauch you publicly if you ever want to be able to drink what you want. Remember the server on Altair?”

That’s the snippet for the week. Thank you for stopping by. Please take the time to visit the other wonderful authors taking part in Science Fiction/Fantasy Saturday!
Gotta Name My Blog 
Always fun times…although I have a vastly different threshold in mind when it comes to debauching Bo in public. 🙂
Yeah, he’s already done that. There was a convenient janitor’s closet with thin walls. That was in the *last* scene. 😉
Careful, Blade! You might push this game too far. I’m just saying…
Oh, I certainly hope so!
Ohhh, them’s building up to some fighting words!! Careful now, to both of them. I think Blade can handle Bo’s tit for tats and vice-versa. Good stuff!!
How much trouble can he get into…really?
Nice mood turn. It goes from casual quips to a darker undertone that borders on threatening. Talk about a complicated relationship.
I can see how you could say threatening. It’s really more of a warning than a threat, though. Blade would rather cut off his own arm than hurt her.
Now what happened on Altair?
Ah, that was in the first book when she decided she would rather be herself than maintain a cover. 😉
How roguish (and utterly sexy) of Blade. I love the tension that’s building up. Great snippet!
Thank you! He does play the rogue well.
Yay Public debauchery! Oh, wait…
I keep wondering what Bo’s gonna do to him in private. Or are they never private?
Let’s just say that she demonstrates some hand-to-hand combat moves that she learned while incarcerated in the Fifth Sector.
I’d like to spill that drink over his head right now.
So would Bo! 😉
He’s just far too cool. I mean, really…..!
Yes, he is!
