Drinking Games: An Assassins Universe Short Story

Kristine Kathryn Rusch

As Rikki tries to shove a dead body out of the airlock on a space yacht, she finds herself stopped by a stunningly attractive man. Not because he wants to arrest her for killing the guy, but because he wants to help her dispose of the body.

Rikki doesn’t need help, even sexy blue-eyed help. Yet somehow, she can’t get rid of this handsome man, despite the fact that getting rid of people is her job.

The story that inspired Rusch’s novel Assassins in Love, which she wrote under the pen name Kris DeLake, “Drinking Games” takes love—or at least lust—to a whole new level.
