Chapter Eighteen

All of a sudden, the ship went still. One by one, the little blue lights winked back on. A faint hum resumed in the background.

Zharek breathed a sigh of relief.

Nythian chuckled softly.

Tasha glared at the aliens. “What just happened?”

“Lodan fixed it,” the big warrior said casually, as if this sort of thing were as normal as sitting down to a bowl of cereal at breakfast. “Told you. He can’t stand when things get out of order.”

“You know me too well, brother.” A familiar voice drifted toward Tasha from the darkness, making the fine hairs on the back of her neck stand on end. Goosebumps rose on her forearms. Heat surged through her body, seeping between her thighs.

Back so soon?

Does you always have to get so damn horny whenever he shows his face? It had happened so many times already. It was always so damn fast. She’d never lost control of her body like this before.

Ambrosia had forcibly stripped her of control. She’d never wanted that.

This was different.

She found herself… wanting, only she didn’t know how to want.

“Are you going to explain what all that was about?” Tasha didn’t allow even a trace of her wound-up state to escape into her voice as she turned to glare at Lodan.

He stood in the doorway, eyes blazing, his entire body thrumming with tension.

Tasha’s clit began to throb. She resisted the urge to squirm. Her feet were welded to the floor. He had her utterly transfixed.

It was possible.

But not for someone like her… surely. These aliens wanted to repopulate.

She didn’t know if her body was even capable of that anymore.

Why me? Why is he looking at me like that?

“For some reason or other, the ship decided she wanted to kill you,” Lodan said, his tone deceptively mild. “Putting her down was a real pain-in-the-ass. After all the effort it took to save your life, I am not going to allow some cursed ancient drug to destroy you.” He began to walk slowly toward her. “This Praetorian of yours… do they have what we need? Because I will raze their compound to the ground to get it if I have to. Do you understand why, Tasha Sedova of Earth?”

“No,” she said quietly as their eyes locked. “I do not understand why you would go to that extent for someone like me.”

Someone like me… who has blood on my hands… who has done nothing but kill… who was Praetorian’s bitch for far too long. I don’t deserve any of this.

Suddenly, Lodan was right in front of her, so close that she could just reach out and…

Stop.

Stop thinking that way! It’s not for you… he’s not for you.

“Clearly, you don’t know us very well,” Lodan replied in English, his voice dropping to a whisper. “I respect what you’ve done. You sought freedom while trying to protect your own. You would choose death rather than remain a slave for the rest of your life. Believe it or not, we understand that feeling, Tasha. We have been there.” His hand flicked out.
