was with other women?
    Envy ripped through her body, stirring within her heart. This line of thinking was irrational, but she’d come to think he actually cared for her. When Dar did come to see her, she tried to communicate with him, wanting to learn words in his native language and that way figure out what was going on.
    Instead of so much as a glance from his direction, he’d come in, place some food in front of her, and leave. Sometimes he’d stay for longer spurts to clean her cell or to turn the water on for her to bathe, but he made no attempt to talk to her.
    Bella was cut deep. It was hard not to break down into tears. How could he kiss her, touch her, excite her and then virtually ignore her? It was by far the worst thing that had happened to her since she came to this place.
    She shivered with lust as she remembered his fingers sliding in and out of her pussy, making her so wet she couldn’t stay still. In her shamelessness, she wanted more. Under the circumstances, it made no sense that she should want him as badly as she did.

    But still the instant attraction could not be denied. She didn’t know what game he was playing or if he got off on fiddling with people’s emotions, but she couldn’t stop thinking about him.
    When she closed her eyes to sleep, he was her last thought and when she’d wake, he was there in her mind. No one had ever elicited such passion from her -- such need.
    If only he’d reach out to her once so she’d know for sure it hadn’t all been a cruel dream, then she could at least justify these warring emotions within her.
    Bella should hate him, after all, he was one of her captors, keeping her here against her will, but there was something different about him. If only she could figure out a way to get through to him, maybe he’d help her escape this place.
    She’d already figured she was no longer on Earth. The air was easier to breathe, and the atmosphere didn’t feel the same, her body felt heavier as if the gravitational pull was stronger. She wondered if her friends realized she was missing yet.
    Sydney respected her boundaries most of the time and Bella appreciated that, so would her friend notice that she was missing? Hopefully a red flag would be raised after all this time. She knew for sure Holly would probably be throwing a fit. At times, Holly acted as though Bella wasn’t capable of handling things on her own, and it was mainly due to Bella’s disability although Holly would die before she’d admit it. Still, right about now anything would be a welcome change to what she’d been going through.
    There had been times when Bella had butted heads with Holly over how overprotective she was, but at this moment she would give anything to be fussed over by her friend, who she knew meant well. She wished their last words exchanged hadn’t been an argument. Bella had been so gung ho over the prospect of hearing again that she hadn’t properly researched this experimental procedure.
    Now that she’d had nothing but time to think over the course of events that had led up to her capture, she realized why Holly had been so adamant about her stance.
    Why was she solicited for this thing and no one else she knew had heard about it? She worked at a school for the deaf for goodness sake. It was almost as if she’d been singled

    out for something shady, but why would they set up such an elaborate ruse in the guise of helping her hear?
    Holly had warned her, but Bella had been so focused on getting what she wanted she wouldn’t listen to reason. Now it made her wonder what exactly the Cyrellians were up to. What else were those bastards hiding? Saviors her ass. Undercover dictators more like it. They weren’t saving the Earth; they were exploiting it for their own purposes.
    If she could only get back home and warn everyone else. But would it do any good? She was sure they’d try to stop her. They might say she was crazy, but Bella was used to people
