Chapter 155

Jake was linking someone, When will it arrive?’

‘In a week or so.’ A woman’s voice linked in response.

‘And if I need it earlier? What’s the price?’

That’s not possible. You know how long it takes to synthesize Oleander.’

‘Can’t you speed up the process?!’

We could. But the quality would be sub-par. Would you accept a product of inferior quality?’

Jake groaned. ‘Fine. And the other one? The shell?

The ingredients for that are harder to collect. It will take more time. We need a month, at least. You’ve run out of that already?’

‘No. But supply is running low.’

What did you do? Ingest it just for fun?’

Lucianne was brought out of the link by Xandar shaking her shoulders and calling out her name. The room was silent. Xandar’s eyes were partially onyx, worried and angered, as he asked in a low voice,” What were you doing, Lucy?” 1

Lucianne swallowed a lump in her throat, and said in a small voice, “I may have…hacked into Jake’s link with his supplier.”

“COOL!” Christian exclaimed.

Xandar glanced briefly at his cousin and said, “Christian, don’t encourage this.” He turned back to his mate and spoke as gently as he could, “Sweetheart, we agreed that we were done for the day.”

With her doe-eyes, she justified meekly, “It was kind of tempting to do. I couldn’t help myself.”

Xandar sighed in frustration before pecking a kiss between her eyebrows and saying, “Promise me, Lucy. Promise me you won’t do that again for the rest of today.”
