Chasing Mayhem, the 6th story in the cyborg series, releases on September 13th. I’m sharing scenes from the first chapter on Mondays ( you can start reading the first chapter here: http://tasteofcyn.com/2016/08/15/first-scene-from-chasing-mayhem/ ) but I thought I’d give you a bonus scene today.

“I’m to escort you to the Refuge.” Her declaration echoed off the walls of rock. Once Kralj, the leader of that settlement, granted her permission, she’d return the two males to the Humanoid Alliance, collect her credits.

“I won’t be entering the Refuge.” The mystery male’s low deep voice skittered down her spine and coiled within her womb.

He was the one watching her. She knew that in her gut. Where was the other one?

Imee stared in the male’s direction, unable to see anything. “You have to accompany me.”

“I’m free. I no longer have to do anything.”

“I’m not giving you a choice.” She lifted her long gun.

One moment, she was holding the weapon. The next moment, her hands were empty.

“What happened?” All she’d seen was a blur, large, dark, moving quickly, and then nothing. He’d disappeared, fading back into the shadows, taking her gun with him. “Who are you?”

The male chuckled, the sound making her stomach flutter. “Others call me Mayhem. You may call me your male.”

“You’re not my male.” And she wouldn’t ever use his name.

That was another one of Kralj’s rules. Don’t call targets by their names. View them as anonymous beings. That made sending them to their deaths easier.

“What are you?” She wanted to know the type of being she was facing.

“Before the sun sets, I’ll hear my name on your sweet lips.” He ignored her question, issuing her a challenge.

It was a challenge she’d win.

“That won’t happen.” She glanced to the left and to the right, seeing nothing except sand, shadow, and white rock. “Where is the other male?”

“He’s not for you.”

“You’re not for me.” Imee rolled her eyes. “Kralj insists I escort the two of you to the Refuge. The other male–”

“Isn’t here.”

Then the other male was dead. No being disobeyed her mentor and lived to talk about it. “Kralj will see that as a sign of disrespect.” Disrespect was contagious, her mentor often told her. It couldn’t be tolerated. “He’ll kill your friend.”

“He’ll try to.” The male, her sole remaining target, didn’t sound concerned. “Menace isn’t easy to kill.”

Her target and his soon-to-be-dead friend were called Mayhem and Menace. What species had their skills and that type of naming convention? Imee dredged the depths of her memories. No species she’d been exposed to fit those perimeters.

“You don’t know whom you’re dealing with,” she cautioned.

If he mouthed off to Kralj, he’d die also and a dead target wasn’t worth anything to the Humanoid Alliance. She’d earn no credits by returning a corpse. Imee had learned that the first solar cycle.

“I’m not scared of your Kralj.” Her target scoffed at her warning.

“Then you’re a fool.” Kralj ruled the Refuge with violence and strength. Nothing happened near its walls without his approval. He had powers Imee couldn’t fully comprehend.

The male in the shadows could be as dangerous.

“My processors are highly advanced, my female.”

Imee frowned. “Your processors?” What manner of being was he?

Metal flashed in the darkness, light reflecting off a dagger’s blade. “Catch me and I’ll accompany you.”

She was the best Retriever in the galaxy. Catching targets was her sole purpose and the only reason her family remained alive.

The overconfident male would lose his challenge.

Wild. Free. Hers.

Mayhem has spent his lengthy lifespan obeying the Humanoid Alliance’s rules. Finally free from their cruel control, the cyborg warrior plans to cause chaos. He infiltrates a remote settlement, provokes the savage locals until they want him dead, and allows himself to be captured by the sexiest little Retriever he has ever laid his mechanically-enhanced eyes on.

Imee’s sole mission in life is to keep her family alive. To do this, she must hunt rebels, returning them to the Humanoid Alliance’s evil clutches where they will be executed. She doesn’t allow herself to feel anything for her targets…until she meets a tall, muscular cyborg with wild hair and even wilder eyes.

With his sure hands, laughing lips and erotic holds, Mayhem makes Imee’s body sizzle and her resistance melt. Their love is doomed. She must deliver the warrior to his death or she’ll place her family’s safety at risk. But she can’t resist him.

Imee soon discovers that Mayhem, life, and love are never predictable.
