black hair behind her ears.
    “You’re not from Florida are you?” she asked.
    “Why do you say that?”
    “Taz doesn’t lie very well.”
    “I’m from a very far distance. I’ve traveled a long way to look for survivors. I think Taz just doesn’t want you to be afraid of how far I’ve come and the destruction I’ve seen.” Roam tried to keep to the truth with tactical explanations.
    “Do you have any family left?”
    “I have a very close friend who is like family. I’ve known Slay all my life. He and the woman he loves have a beautiful daughter together. They are trying for a son.”
    “Why would anyone want to bring children into this world?”
    “Taz and Macey have Ally. Has she not enriched your lives?”
    “Very much so. Where are your friends, why didn’t they come with you?”
    “If there was any chance of Slay and Tia conceiving, she needed to avoid stress. Slay would need to stay with her.”
    “Does that mean you’ll be leaving us soon?”
    “I won’t leave you. I’m hoping you will all come with me.”
    “This place is safe.”
    “There is a much safer place.”
    Jinx leaned toward him waiting for Roam to elaborate. If he allowed her to, she would drill him all night. Slay’s mate was the same in that respect, so Roam was used to dealing with human females. It would be nice to sit and chat with her. He wanted her to get to know him. Jinx was beautiful, her scent was compelling; her dark green eyes were a jungle of mystery. When he had touched her and their essences had mingled, his body surprised him with its reaction. He wanted this female. She was vulnerable, in danger, and yet she was strong willed. Her beauty radiated from within. Roam could feel his must build.
    She was so close. His essence would calm her with a simple touch, but if his body absorbed too much of her, he would need to mate with her. Closer she moved until her bare knee rested against his thigh. The strange clothing Taz called denim became saturated with the need to reach her. Roam could feel the groan within his blood as it struggled to pull any fluids it triggered inside him, to flow through him. Jinx looked dazed as more of his essence took her. Roam could feel his heart pounding.
    Damn this is harder to control than I thought it would be .
    If he didn’t move, if he didn’t stop he might just snap. Reluctantly, Roam stood up and, physically shaking with his determination, he yawned, excusing himself and claiming it had been a long day, which was by no means a lie. He went to the area he had set up his things and lay down. He didn’t want to answer any more questions. He also had to get his body under control.
    Roam could see Jinx, he was able to see in the dark; he also knew she could no longer see him. Taz had obviously planned it that way—just in case. Roam stopped a groan as he scented Jinx’s disappointment and her attraction to him. She wanted to get closer, he knew it. He shifted uncomfortably, damning the strange material that didn’t compensate for his erection.
    Damn, my balls are squished and my cock feels jailed.
    Roam would have to be careful; he wanted her to like him. He would be devastated if she found out what he was before he could explain and she ended up hating him. After a few moments, Jinx went back to her own area.
    Roam laced his fingers under his head after he undid his pants to let his cock breathe. Taking a few calming breaths he stared at the fifteen foot high ceiling. Parts were scorched black from smoke. With the partitions the cool night air was kept at bay. The cave itself was about the size of his home on Bagron. This home was filled with small inventions to aid with survival.
    A number of animal skins littered the floor. Crude furniture made of wood such as small beds, tables and a few logs that passed as chairs were situated out of the way. Water bags made of a large animal bladder or stomach hung slowly dripping. On a shelf unit where Jinx stacked the jars and cans she
