Chapter Nine

Jessica

I was having the most amazing dream. Warm and comfortable, my bed was a mix of soft and firm. I rubbed my face against my pillow and the scent that rose, a dark, woodsy smell, made me smile. A hand stroked over my bare belly in slow and easy circles. It felt so good that I felt like I was melting and a contented sigh whispered past my lips.

“I will not begin her examination until she awakens.”

I stiffened. I knew that voice. Nial’s. But a stranger answered.

“I understand, prince, but a delay is dangerous. The others can scent her.”

“She smells like Ander and me. Our seed is upon her.”

“Regardless, it is not enough. She smells like an unmated female, and she does not wear a collar.”

The conversation was alarming, but I didn’t want to awaken. I didn’t want to open my eyes or climb from my contented spot. And I did not want to deal with an examination or challenges. I did not want to wake up and face a room full of males trying to sniff me. Who cared what I smelled like? As far as I knew, I smelled like green tea shampoo and lavender-scented antiperspirant, as per the usual.

The strange voice continued, “On the Colony, an unmated female is unheard of and the warriors are demanding a chance to challenge for her.”

“She is ours.” Nial’s voice boomed and startled me. My eyes flew open and I wasn’t in a bed at all, but in his lap. I was staring at his massive chest, a gray shirt stretched taut over broad muscles. How I thought this pillow was soft was definitely part of a dream, for Nial—I knew it was Nial’s lap without looking up at his face for I would recognize his scent anywhere—was all hard male. Everywhere, including the cock that nudged my hip.

“She is awake. As soon as she is examined and cleared for the claiming ceremony, we will remove her from the Colony. I assure you, doctor, we will not linger. She is hunted by the Hive.”

Ander. I knew his voice now as readily as Nial’s. He was loud and brash and direct, and very, very good with his tongue. I wondered if he did everything with the same intensity he used when he went down on me.

Nial’s hand stilled on my belly. My bare belly. I glanced down and realized I was wrapped in another blanket, this one a dark red, not the bride processing center’s dull gray. His hand had slipped between the folds to touch me directly. Warden Egara was nowhere to be seen, but a man wearing a gray uniform stood nearby, staring at me as if I were an alien. I did not recognize the room we were in. Blinking, I looked around Ander’s large form, similarly clad in dark gray, and realized we weren’t in the processing center at all.

“Where are we?” I asked. My voice was scratchy and I cleared my throat.

Nial gave me a gentle squeeze.
