cell. This time, there stood a large bird-like creature with green feathers and strange black markings all over its body. The thing was resting when they approached but must have heard their footsteps because it lifted its red crowned head.
    The animal had a sad look in its beady black eyes, making Bella’s heart go out to it. The poor thing. Bella almost made the mistake of reaching her fingers through the bars, but the bird creature stood up unexpectedly and raced toward the bars, halted by their sting.
    Her eyes widened in horror as it writhed on the ground in obvious pain. What kind of place was this? Dar continued the mini-tour, showing her what was in each little prison. All the little jails contained animals of the likes she’d never seen. One had orange fur and three horns. Then there was what looked like a two-headed monkey.
    She shrugged holding her palms up in frustration. Dar then took her to the big metal door. Finally she’d get outside.
    He placed his hand against some kind of scanning device which she assumed controlled the door. Dar guided her into the dark night air. It was almost a shock being outdoors after all this time, but once the idea had sunk in she wanted to kiss this man for letting her out. She didn’t know how much longer she would have lasted in that tiny cell, with hardly any room to move.
    But Dar wasn’t finished showing her around.
    Bella didn’t understand what she was seeing at first until she recognized more animals in cages, and high fences. These spaces were as small as hers had been, some of

    these confinement areas being several square feet. And within each of them contained a more exotic creature than the one before.
    If she had any doubts before, there were none now. This was definitely a zoo. But again she wondered why the hell she was here.
    Bella received the answer to her question when Dar nudged her toward another gated area. Peering through the bars, she noted a prone figure lying on a pile of blankets, its back turned to her.
    The steady rise and fall of his shoulders told her the creature was sleeping. It wasn’t an animal though. It was a man! Holy mother of God, it was a man in a cage in a zoo!
    If that human male was an attraction then she… to them, she was an animal.
    Dar was a zookeeper and Bella was truly screwed.
     

Chapter Six
    From the shock in her lovely green eyes, to the way her lips trembled, Dar knew the exact second when comprehension dawned on Bella. If he weren’t mistaken she looked as if she was going into shock. It broke his heart to see her this way and it made him wonder how he’d feel if their positions were reversed.
    He’d stayed away from her the past few days for this very same reason --
    because he didn’t want to care about her thoughts or feelings. Unable to meet her startlingly beautiful gaze, he looked away. Because if he did look directly at Bella, Dar knew he wouldn’t be able to stop himself from his carnal images of taking her into his arms and ravaging her.
    Night after night he’d wake up in a cold sweat, wanting her, struggling with the feelings she’d awakened within him, making him express emotions he’d felt for no other woman. Focusing his attention toward other women didn’t help, nor did the cold showers. And all stroking his cocks did was offer temporary relief from something that could only be assuaged by burying himself deeply into Bella’s tight sheath and ass. No, his lust for her only came back tenfold to what he’d experienced before, so much so that he’d given up trying to ease the ache.
    If the other zookeepers were to find out what had happened between him and Bella, he’d lose his position for sure. Not only that, but possibly face prison time for committing acts of the unnatural. But that was only on the basis that Bella was a dumb animal, not an intelligent being as he’d discovered her to be.
    In the meantime, while he faced the dilemma of what he would do with her, Dar had stayed
