see himself laughing at her as they made their home and crowded it with young.
    “Shit.” The vision seemed almost real. Rushing to the lav, he stayed upright in the solar cleanser far longer than needed, letting the heat push his worries away. One more day, he told himself. I can last one more day...

Chapter Four

    A day later, Anin waved goodbye to Set and Nu’s family. She’d had a very brief introduction before Nu, Set and she donned light robes with hoods. Once appropriately clothed to combat Ragga’s harsh climate, they entered the Fas family stable and mounted raks . The large, intelligent beasts were strong enough to carry mature Raggas and could run at amazing speeds. She’d studied about them in books, but Anin had never seen an actual rak until today. The creature beneath her had been well trained. Its sandy flesh blended seamlessly with the area around it. Sharp teeth indicated it ate more than the bales of grass she’d seen in the small pen outside the family unit. But its gentle gaze reassured her.
    She rode in front of Nu, with Set on a mount beside them. They headed for Nu and Set’s home some distance from the main family unit. Until they mated, the brothers would live apart from their family. When they found mates, they’d move into the wing their fathers were presently building, which she found curious. Why build it now, and why had Nu been so upset with his family because of the construction? Had Nu and Set reached a certain age that mandated they marry? She’d unfortunately had no time to ask any questions.
    A quick introduction to Nala, their tall, fair-skinned, slim mother, as well as to a pair of males who looked alike, was all Set and Nu had allowed. Tall, dark, and muscular, with coppery skin and orange eyes, all of the males in the Fas homestead were huge. The two she’d met had fascinated her. She had a hard time determining which man had fathered which son. They both looked so much alike, and young enough to be Set and Nu’s brothers.
    Raggas didn’t age the way many in the System did. They lived for hundreds of years. But because of their difficulties procreating, which was still a great mystery to those outside of the Ragga culture, she supposed nature mandated that they have plenty of time to repopulate the planet.
    As she rode in front of Nu, she refused to look at him, aware he stared at her all the time now. Set loved that she’d broken Nu’s resolve to ignore her. Anin wasn’t so sure this was a good thing. Set cherished her. Nu looked like he wanted to break her. And the sexual chemistry between the three of them was enough to drive her steadily insane. If not for Set’s orders not to give up this charade, she might have confessed to Nu what she was doing.
    She feared what he’d do when he found out she’d tricked him.
    Perversely, Anin also liked arousing the large male. Nu seemed to study her with respect as well as puzzlement. She intrigued him, whereas before she’d unnerved him, which made her nights all the more difficult. Her libido, now awakened, dogged her every moment. Set stayed away from her since he’d taken watch on the ship, and Nu still hadn’t made a move. Thoughts of obeying his every wish made her wet. A natural submissive, she understood that desire to succumb to a stronger male. But that didn’t explain why she grew aroused at thoughts of trying to resist him.
    She shivered, and Nu tightened his massive arms around her. Though her new situation wasn’t reassuring, she couldn’t help liking what she was becoming.
    Through Set’s encouragement, she’d begun learning more about herself. Anin had been specifically created to serve. Yet, telling Nu what she thought came easier to her each time she did it. She liked not having to worry about offending her Handler— not Handler, friend, S ynster’s dead, she reminded herself—for fear she’d be punished.
    “We’re almost there,” Nu murmured into her ear. His warm breath whispered against her
