The World of Beasts: She's Got Their Hearts novel Chapter 119

Analise slipped into her clothes and took a step, only to falter. There wasn't any strength left in her feet. They were drained after the extended period of passion she shared with Finlay.

"Ana, you're awake." He had just left the galley when he saw her coming out of his private cabin.

"Yeah." Analise nodded. She caught him gazing at her neck, and her eyes darkened a little. "Do you want to take a break? I can keep an eye on the starship."

Some dark circles could be seen underneath his eyes, though they weren't too severe.

"Not until after you have breakfast." Finlay turned around and brought trays of food from the galley. Placing them on the small table at the fore cabin, he took a seat and ate with her.

"I noticed you were asleep. You also handled the motion sickness much better earlier in the day. So, I cranked the speed up and drove the starship at full throttle.

"That way, we'll be able to arrive at Shadowhawk Alliance before nightfall, meaning we'll be there a night earlier," Finlay said as he put some of the dishes on her plate.

"Okay. Show me how to handle the controls and take a nap. I'll keep watch this time," Analise responded after she swallowed her food.

"Sure."

She proved to be a fast-learning student. He just had to give her a brief rundown of the controls, and she immediately had a grasp of them.

That said, he played it safe and napped on the chair in the fore cabin. With her holding his hand, the sleep was rather restful. It was past 3:00 pm when he woke up.

"You're awake." Analise lowered her head and pecked him on the corner of his lips. "Our starship has sailed into Shadowhawk Alliance's sector, and the starship ahead of us is leading us now.

"He said we didn't have to dock at the starship station. Instead, we can just go straight to Gideon's lab."

"Hmm?" Finlay still felt a little groggy. Rising to his feet, he took a look at the monitors on the control panel.

"Did you give Gideon a call and confirm it with him? Did the starship make a call to you?" Finlay ruffled his hair and looked for the records on the control panel.
