  ABOUT THE AUTHOR

  ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

  Writing this book has been an incredible adventure. It started with a crazy idea in my head, and before I knew it, I had a fantastic storyline. I have never previously experienced such passion in my story-telling, and the words flew out of my fingers.

  While I was in the midst of writing the book I stumbled on the fantastic work of an artist: Pixy Cold. I fell in love with one of her drawings which I instantly linked to the protagonist of this book, Andena. I’m incredibly grateful that she has given permission for me to use the drawing as a base for the cover of this book. Thank you, Pixie!

  What would an author be without an editor? My (copy)-editor Ingrid Hall has been fantastic by pointing out the flaws and holes in the story. Her editing skills are amazing; manipulating the text without changing the essence of it which is what every author wants from an editor. Thank you, Ingrid!

  Last but definitely not least I would like to thank my family who have always been very supportive of me.

  PROLOGUE

  It was in the year 2212 that the civil war finally ended. That was because of a drastic drop in the oxygen level caused by the sudden eruption of several volcanos. The oxygen was depleted to such an extent that most of the weaponry powered by combustion engines had stopped working and many people had died. The war had lasted for 37 years, enabling the Archon military and political power-base gradually to gain the upper hand.

  The rigid and strict regime imposed by this elite was despised but the remaining population of Earth nevertheless soon succumbed in order to survive.

  By enforcing a curfew to protect its own members, the Archon still ruled with an iron fist. Although small rebel groups were offering pockets of resistance in an effort to undermine this oppression and establish a free society once again.

  CHAPTER ONE

  Andena stared into the dirty mirror situated in the bar’s toilet. In spite of the fact that she knew it would ruin her efforts to look like an Archon girl, she had a strong urge to thicken the lines on her eyelids.

  She shuddered when she remembered the nightmare she’d had in simply acquiring her dangly earrings. She was lucky that the slime ball had passed out before she was completely naked. Her self-brewed liquor had knocked the greasy haired man out cold just before he could lay his filthy hands on her body.

  She sighed when she looked appraisingly at her silhouette aware that her figure wasn’t as spectacular as Danette’s, but pleased that at least the combination of bright green eyes and naturally vibrant red hair never failed to turn men’s heads.

  Her mission was clear: she was to get the access code for the main door of section Gamma fifty-four and her boss, Lunn had said that the guard, who knew the code, had a soft spot for red-haired girls. It was her first assignment, a ticket to a better life and was much better than working in a bar where men continually slapped her ass or groped her breasts. She had reluctantly allowed herself to be diminished to a sex object, hoping to get the occasional tip but she rarely left work with more than a few extra credits.

  Andena checked her lips and made sure her blouse and bra were straight, thereby enhancing her cleavage. The high heeled boots made her look just that bit taller, and her short skirt accentuated her toned legs. She winked at herself as she whispered, “Go get him!”

  Armed with a grubby photograph of the guard she stepped out of the ladies room into the over full cafe hoping that she would be in and out without too much of a delay. It was getting late, and most of the customers were too drunk to notice her slipping past them, and it was with a sense of relief that she stepped into the cold night.

  The air was remarkably fresh, and she rejoiced in its richness. Inhaling the concentrated levels of oxygen made her feel a little light-headed. Andena knew that she would be much faster and could run a lot longer than the average security guard based at the Archon quarters. Her apartment was at level eight-hundred-ninety-eight. The buildings had been sealed from the outside atmosphere to provide the necessary oxygen levels because the air in the higher regions did not contain enough oxygen to sustain life.

  In the early days the levels had been up to twenty percent, but nowadays they had dropped to nineteen point two percent because all of the nearby volcanoes had suddenly erupted. Mount Merapi and Mount Ontake had claimed thousands of lives, and the high-levels of pollution meant that it was unsafe.

  Andena had been born when the level was around nineteen point three five and as such, her body had adjusted to the low levels. When she was five, cars with a combustion engine were rendered useless because they weren’t able to start due to the lack of oxygen. That was the moment that all chemical processes which consumed oxygen had been placed under strict rules and regulations. It was also when the hype had started: growing your own plankton to get more oxygen in your living quarters that often resulted in slippery staircases which were covered in a slimy, green substance which emitted a foul stench.

  She was grateful for the fact that she had remembered to take her jacket with her because the evening had cooled the air considerably and having to seduce a guy while she felt cold didn’t appeal to Andena. The streets were empty at this time of night, and she knew that she needed to hurry if she was to stand any chance of evading the curfew cameras. Two more turns and she would be at the gate of Gamma fifty-four. The heels of her boots reverberated loudly against the walls of the narrow lanes, and she decided to take them off after realising that walking on her tiptoes made the muscles in her calves ache. She shivered for a short moment as she continued barefoot but resigned herself to the fact that it was only going to be necessary for a short distance.

  Peeking around the corner, she recognised the young guard from the photo who was pacing back and forward in front of the dark door. Andena thought that he looked even cuter in real life and was impressed by his sharp, chiselled features. His broad shoulders, well-developed chest and strong arms were clearly visible through his tight fitting suit. The bulge in his
trousers and the heavily toned muscles on his legs made her body tingle with desire.

  She stepped quietly into her boots which were still warm and slipped her jacket off. She knew that he would be distracted by the see-through fabric of her lace bra and blouse. Taking a deep breath, she stepped into the concealed area wiggling her hips just a little more that she normally would. The guard looked up and instantly flicked his helmet light on, finding himself drawn to her breasts which stood out in the light. Caught off guard, she cursed silently but managed to retain her smile, and said in her sultriest voice, “Hi, I think I’m lost. Can you help me please?”

  She watched as his face turned first into a smile and then disbelief as she walked closer to him. The extra lighting gave the young man a perfect view of Andena’s body and she smiled as she noticed his eyes widening. Gulping, he said in an unsteady voice, “I’m afraid I can’t help you.”

  She knew that he was going to need a little more persuasion and moved closer all the while pushing her chest slowly forward making sure he had a clear view of her attributes. While she was holding her jacket behind her back, she shook her chest making her breasts jiggle, as she purred, “I really would love to push those against you.”

  Looking up into her eyes, he said hoarsely, “You mean right here?”

  She caressed the fingers of the hand holding the rifle and whispered, “I need to be back before curfew, but there is plenty of time for some fun.”

  He tentatively moved his free hand to her breasts, and she moaned softly as she let him touch them. She nipped at his earlobe with her lips as she whispered, “Let’s go inside.”

  He nodded nervously and turned to the keypad next to the door. He was too blinded by lust to notice Andena studying the movements that he made with his hand as he punched in the code. She was surprised by how simple the code was: nine five four four five nine. She instantly understood the logic behind it all: nine for the ‘g’ of Gamma and fifty-four for the section number and the order of the last three numbers was a mirror of the first three.

  As soon as they were inside the building Andena hugged the man from behind, and started to caress his chest. “I like men who massage my ass,” she purred. He longed to turn around, but she hissed. “No! Stay as you are now.”

  The guard moved his arms awkwardly backwards and travelled down to the small of her back. She bit him softly on his neck and purred in his ear, “Oh yes. That’s my boy.”

  Lunn was sitting behind his desk and irritably straightening his desktop mat. He was annoyed that he had allowed Danette to use his desk when he was out. She always managed to turn the desk into a mess. Logging onto the system, he checked his messages. Danette had left him a short note informing him that assembling the androids was slow work. She still had three androids to finish and wanted to know if he knew of any tricks that would help speed up the process. He smiled as he read the note and shook his head slightly because he thought that her project was ludicrous. He had only gone along with it because the company providing the gear was funding the whole mission.

  Lunn was more interested in the message that his technician had left informing him that not only had the latest batch been successfully launched but they were now at their precise location. Everything was still on schedule, and they would complete the ring within six weeks provided they were able to prevent their closest rival from discovering their secret. He leaned back and moved his hands behind his head letting this message sink in. Within two months he would have the ultimate weapon, and there was no doubt in his mind that he would have cause to use it in the very near future.

  So far, everything was going according to plan. The preparations for the new headquarters were nearly complete, and there was no reason why they wouldn’t be able to move the systems at the scheduled date. Satisfied that everything was under control, Lunn closed his eyes and thought about his plans for the evening.

  He was startled by an enthusiastic female voice which sounded just a little too close for comfort. “Mr. Lunn, I have the code!”

  He knew it could only be one of the three people who had access to his office today. His highly sophisticated security system had never let him down, and he was pleased that she had managed to enter his office without any problems. Opening his eyes, he saw the beautiful red-haired woman standing in front of his desk. Her bright green eyes glinted and made her sweet smile seem utterly disarming. He had studied her stunning body before: she was slim with pert breasts, full hips, and legs that went on forever. Her full, sensual lips which were painted dark red made her extremely desirable. He felt his groin stir, and as he moved forward, he smiled broadly. He felt ashamed of the fact that he was unable to remember her name, but he quickly started his database to look it up and said, “I’m very pleased that your mission went as planned.”

  Finding her page he continued, “Why don’t you sit down Andena and tell me what you’ve been doing.”

  Andena said, “Thank you, Mr. Lunn.”

  Lunn always shadowed a new recruit on his or her first mission, and he was pleasantly surprised by the amount of preparation that she had put into it. The task wasn’t that easy, but he thought she was a natural talent. She had remained unfazed even when the guard had unexpectedly turned his helmet light on. Lunn wanted to hear her version of events, and was curious as to what she would leave out.

  He chuckled and said with a dark bronze voice, “You can call me Lunn when we are alone. Anyway, Andena, do start at the beginning.”

  He loved the way she blushed and wondered if he could get her in his bed someday.

  Andena told him her version of events and finished by saying, “After I had given him the reward he was longing for, he was more than happy to give me directions to the nearest lift.”

  She looked at Lunn hoping he would approve of her approach to the task, and she felt relieved when he started to laugh. He boomed, “I guess he never even realised that he had been compromised.”

  Andena thought about it for a few moments and murmured, “I surely hope not.”

  He got up from his chair and walked towards her. He put his hand on her shoulder and said sincerely, “I must admit you have excelled in the way you have completed your task, and I’m more than happy to welcome you to our group.”

  Resisting the urge to leap out of her seat and hug him, Andena breathed, “Oh that’s fantastic! Thank you, Lunn! I’m so happy.”

  She was startled when she heard Danette’s voice boom into the room, “Well well, Lunn. Congratulations on enrolling a new member into our ever-growing group.”

  Lunn chuckled as he moved back to his seat. He addressed Andena again, “Yes, I’m pleased that you decided to join us. We need more people if we are going to win this war.”

  Danette purred, “But I thought you were already in full control.”

  Andena was shocked by the provocative manner in which Danette paraded towards Lunn. She could see the lust building in his eyes when she zipped her jacket open slowly. The thin fabric of her blouse revealed her breasts which were in danger of spilling out of her low-cut bra. It had been a long time since another woman had managed to make Andena feel so uncomfortable. Danette straddled Lunn, behaving to all intents and purposes as if she were alone with him which made Andena’s jaw drop.

  Danette tried to push her body closer to Lunn, but he gently guided her off his lap and didn’t seem remotely troubled by his state of arousal. “Later Danette. Let me finish with our lovely Andena.”

  If looks could kill Andena would have died on the spot. Danette made no attempt at hiding her displeasure as she huffed, “Why is this little slut more important than me?”

  Lunn chuckled and said, “She is as important as you, because she managed to get the access code to Sector Gamma fifty-four.”

  Andena was very pleased with the way in which Lunn stood up for her. Her distaste for Danette was immense, which was a shame, given how she would have liked to make new friends. Danette looked with disbelief at Andena and asked, “What did
she do to get that asshole to tell her the code?”

  Andena took the opportunity to answer, saying with a comfortable certainty, “He didn’t say anything. He simply forgot to cover his hand when he entered the code.”

  Lunn said, “That was indeed a smart trick. Now, I really would like you to come back tomorrow because I’ll have another assignment for you. Make sure you get a good night’s sleep.”

  It took every last ounce of willpower that she possessed for Andena to remain calm. However, her voice was warm as she responded, “Thank you, Mr. Lunn. Shall I be here at the same time as before?”

  His smile met his eyes as he said, “Yes, that’s fine. Good night, I’m looking forward to seeing you tomorrow.”

  As Andena walked away, she was certain that she heard Danette snort. She slowed her pace making sure she could overhear the conversation. Lunn asked with a calm voice, “What is the matter, Danette?”

  She heard Danette exclaim, “Don’t even think about fucking that bitch!”

  Andena thought about what she had heard and smirked. Yes, Lunn was one sexy guy. Of course, she would, if she got the chance. What woman in her right mind, wouldn’t? Tapping her finger to her lips, she broke into a huge smile as she began to plan her revenge on Danette.

  CHAPTER TWO

  Lunn knew he had to be careful not to upset Danette too much. Even though she acknowledged him as the leader, she was his right-hand woman, and she had proven to be very loyal. The discovery of their mutual hunger for sex was unexpected. It had happened on a mission that had gone pear-shaped and they had to dash into a cupboard where there was hardly space for them to hide. They were in there for several hours and when they finally made it out of the cupboard they tumbled onto the sofa and spent a long time satisfying their pent-up physical desires. They both used sex as a means to unwind: something which Lunn craved on a daily basis. They had established a routine whereby Danette would come most evenings into his office to enjoy his company in numerous ways. Lunn’s face broke into a smile as he remembered the time spent in that cupboard, and was visibly shocked when Danette slapped him without warning across the face.
