  here is a little taste of chapter 1 in Outpost Dirt

  Adam didn’t know how long he had looked at her, his mind trying to comprehend that she had come to him of all people. She was as beautiful as when she left him five years ago; she should be married now, so why was she here? There was no ring on her finger, so maybe they broke up? But why her? Wait, Harold had said he knew someone who would take the trip. No, she must have been here with the inspector that he expected, or this is a dream. He decided to get up and break the dream. He tried to sit up, and the pain in his side made him groan in pain.

  Her eyes shot up, and she looked at him. None of them said a word. She looked worried and relieved at the same time.

  This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

  “I must be dreaming. I’m finally going crazy.“ Adam said softly, and she smiled and got up.

  “Going crazy? You were always crazy.” She was standing by the bed now, so close he could reach out and touch her.

  “That’s what you would say. You have to be a dream; you would never come…”

  Her lips pressed against his, and she kissed him passionately. The shock was short and pleasant as everything else was forgotten, and he tried to pull her into the bed. Which was a very poor idea, as the pain in his side shot through in his side, and he groaned in pain. She stopped and checked the wound.

  “God damnit, Adam. You lost a rib from that shot. You fucking idiot! What the hell were you thinking? He was a pirate! They said he even told you he came to kill you!” She hit his shoulder, and he could see tears in her eyes.

  “Hey, I’m still here, still alive. We had a plan. I just thought he wanted me alive.” He managed to sit up.

  “I had a plan?” She said in a mocking voice. “You never make a plan where you die! I could have lost you. I… “She kissed him again and slowly stopped as she whispered. “Never do that again.”
