Chapter Fourteen

Emori

There was something about Thane – something I couldn’t put my finger on – that drove me crazy. He wouldn’t stop kissing me.

Okay, so it had only happened twice. But both times, I had felt an incredible surge of something powerful washing through me, a wave of need so strong I could barely think straight. All I wanted was for him to touch me all over, to kiss me more, and to fuck me.

And there was no way in hell I was letting an alien do that to me. Especially not this one, who seemed to have a grudge against the whole world, no, the whole universe. I didn’t think there was a single living being more resentful and bitter than this guy.

And I was not getting involved with that. I hated him. Hated him. And hate wasn’t a word I took lightly. My mom had always taught me that what you put out into the world was going to come back at you at some point. But for this one, I was willing to take my chances.

And still, there was something about him that made me feel… affection. Hell, that couldn’t be right, could it? He was the worst kind of Malakus I had ever seen. And he took liberties with me that I wasn’t interested in. Kissing me like that had been wrong, out of place, inappropriate.

I didn’t want to think about the fact that it had also been toe-curling delicious and that it had made me want more. I didn’t want to admit that along with all the loathing I felt toward him, there was also a very healthy – or unhealthy – dose of lust that accompanied it.

It irritated me that I felt that way about it. I didn’t want to like him at all. I wanted to hate him as much as I could. He was keeping me from my sister, essentially keeping me hostage. This was a damn kidnapping situation, for crying out loud! I didn’t want to like anything about this… thing.

And I wasn’t going to let him keep doing this to me. I wasn’t going to allow him to just march up and kiss me whenever he felt like it. Especially not if he was going to make it seem like some kind of punishment at the same time. And then get angry when I refused him.

Seriously, the guy was a conundrum. One that I had no intention of figuring out.

I was going to put my foot down, right now. So that he knew where we stood. Confronting him wasn’t going to be easy, though – he was tall and strong, and he had that Noether in his chest that did… something. I didn’t know what, but I knew that he was incredibly strong. Intimidating. But I couldn’t let him get the better of me. And I couldn’t let him realize I was scared of him.

Show no fear.

Thane sat behind the control in the ship again, a scowl on his face, watching the monitors.
