Chapter Eleven

God, it was hot. And why was I covered with a blanket? I tried to kick it off.

The furry blanket chittered in irritation.

Huh? I opened my eyes and bolted upright. “Holy shit!” There were spiders everywhere. The bed, the barge walls, and a couple were even clinging to my naked body. I smacked frantically at them. “Get off. Get off! Oh my God, get the hell off me. And what happened to my clothes?”

“Relax, they’re our guards, and you couldn’t sleep in your filthy overall,” Tae said sleepily. The kids were snuggled on her back.

“Guards? Why do we need guards?”

“Our bossy pricks decided it wasn’t safe to leave us alone while they scout the area.”

I drew an angry breath. Talree just took off and left me here? If the Master of the Universe pulled this crap again, he’d be singing soprano. “I’m surprised they didn’t try to kill each other.”

“They found they had much in common.”

“Killing the trappers probably didn’t hurt either.”

“Datlow was quite impressed with Talree’s ability to kill.”

What could I say? “He’s a Warlord”? That was when I noticed our guards were giving me the evil eye. “What? Is a naked human female too much for your delicate senses? If so, leave!”

The freaks continued to stare at me.

“Get the hell out!”

They didn’t move an inch.

I pushed at the spiders crouched on my thighs. They wouldn’t budge. “Look, you hairy little creeps, I’m hungry and I need to pee. Get the hell off me.”

“Let her up,” Tae ordered.

The Tabors reluctantly crawled up the walls.

All those eyes on me made my skin itch. I rushed into the tiny bathroom. The sooner I got off this hellhole, the happier I would be.

Rubbing my gritty eyes, I perched on the edge of the funky square toilet and hissed when something scurried across my foot. Wonderful. Every one of the freaks had followed me. “Aw, c’mon. Can’t a girl have some privacy?”

A warrior with streaks of gray in his fur crawled up the wall until he could look me in the eye. “If we leave you alone and unguarded, your mate will kill us. If he does not, Datlow will.”

“Fine. Whatever.” Another bossy prick to deal with. My bladder was about to burst. I would pretend like they weren’t there. A Tabor sat on my foot. Yeah, that so wasn't going to work.

I hurriedly finished and went to wash my hands. My eyes widened in horror when I saw myself in the cracked mirror. My hair was matted to my skull, and pieces of swamp scum decorated my face. I looked down and winced. Dried mud coated my body. My loving mate hadn’t even attempted to clean me up.

I sniffed my armpits. Yeow! Maybe the smell had run him off.

Rain suddenly pounded against the hull. I quickly grabbed the shampoo, soap, and my overalls. “I’m going to take a shower.”

The bossy prick grumbled, “You’ll just get dirty again.”

“Probably.” I stomped outside and started scrubbing. Once I was clean, I went to work on my overalls.
