Chapter 6

The scent of something warm and sweet tickles me awake. A tendril of steam licks up from the cup being placed on the table next to my bed.

I assume the male’s hand doing the placing belongs to Natu as he is the most thoughtful of my males. Imagine my surprise when I look up to find it’s Xuel.

Having fallen asleep with the translator still stuck in my ear, Xuel’s words are defined.

“The leelia will be here with the first meal of the cycle. You will eat all the tristiu,” he directs. “Cleanse yourself and don fresh attire. Natu will arrive to escort you to the shuttle.”

“What shuttle?”

Xuel doesn’t answer my question, he simply gives me his back as he heads toward the door.

“Where are you off to?”

His next step falters, and he looks at me from over one broad shoulder. His brow is slow to crease into a hard line, but the twitch of a grin that plays across his upper lip shows amusement.

“To the command deck, shoulsis.” He bends slightly at the waist, a mocking bow. “Where I belong.”

“Why am I being escorted to a shuttle? Am I going somewhere?” The insolent tilt of his head is affirmation Xuel isn’t accustomed to being questioned.

“You will accompany Nulis and Natu to the trading post on Letrutose,” Xuel gives as an explanation. “It will do you good to get off the ship and be in fresh surroundings.”

“Is it safe for me there?”

“Why would it not be?” he quirks a brow.

“Seriously, Xuel?” I rise to the bait. “Did you see the freaks on that red planet where you found me?”

“I saw nothing of concern.”

“Nothing of concern!” I huff. “Maybe you’re used to seeing crazy beasts like that, but where I’m from, everyone looks normal.”

“What makes you think your perception of normal is correct, Mannock?” Xuel challenges. “Perhaps you were the one who appeared beastly to those at that trading posts. Not all were lining up to sample your cunt.”

I’m not much of a morning person, and his impudent attitude is pushing me close to the edge. What propels me off the bed is the rise of one thick eyebrow and the twitch of his lip as he eyes the red splotches staining my cheeks.

Challenge accepted!

“Why are you taunting me?”

“Am I?” Xuel’s laugh is wicked. “I wasn’t aware.”

“Weren’t you?” I counter. Standing up straighter with my arms crossed does nothing to make me more of a match for him. “Are you spoiling for a fight? Is that what you’re after?”

Striking the same pose, Xuel appears to grow by feet and swell to twice his original size. Intimidation to get me to back down from something he started?

Not a chance.

Standing my ground, he takes a step closer to tower above me. My neck cramps to maintain eye contact.

His lips compress, the glow of his eyes narrowing to neon slits. A tremor of fear runs along my spine when he doesn’t move a single muscle like a stone gargoyle with a menacing glare, but I maintain my position.
