Hide to Stay Alive (Club Release 1)
handy
right now. She was loaded with food when we got separated. The loud
roar of my stomach fills the small space I’m in. Needing to quiet
it, I retrieve another pecan and crack it open. This time I don’t
worry about which hand I use. If I’m going to die from using
pee-pee tainted fingers it’s too late to save me now.
     
    I just finish eating the
pecan when I hear a noise. My heart freezes. I go into stealth
mode. No movement and shallow breathing. The action as saved me
many times in the past. I hope it does now.
     
    You’re not in the woods,
dummy , my logical side nastily points out.
If I could have left this room, I’d have had a better chance. “Hide
to stay alive,” I whisper to myself. My voice is low enough not to
be heard by anyone except me. The words echo in my mind. They
comfort me.

CHAPTER

    “ I better go check on the
little human. She should be still sitting safely on the bed where I
left her,” I say to my brother, Din Von TocGar, and our good friend
Din Ryk WavTe. Feeling confident about our newest addition, I rise
from my chair and head to the door. We rarely buy playthings but
every once in a while we’ll see if there is a being on the
sell-block that is worth saving. Rescued beings can be very
loyal.
     
    “ Tread carefully, this one
seems a little different from our usual additions,” Von says as he
spins his chair around and looks at me.
     
    “ She obeyed me and she
responded well to my touch.” I try to act nonchalant. I don’t want
my brother and friend to know something about her draws me to her
in a way I’ve never experienced before.
     
    Ryk grunts. “If Von says
tread carefully, you should do it. Dealing with a new addition is
always risky even if the being passes the first test. That’s why we
don’t buy beings often.”
     
    I snort and frown at my
brother. “Okay, I’ll be cautious. I don’t know why you’re bringing
this up? She’s just a new addition.” At least that’s the story I’m
sticking to because it’s the one that has to be true.
     
    Von leans forward and
looks at me as though he is reading my soul. “Your eyes glowed when
you were near her.”
     
    I shrug. “So. When we get
heated up they do that. What’s the big deal?” For some reason,
Von’s words bother me.
     
    Von’s dark brow arches
again. “Our eyes don’t usually glow before we even touch a seema or
a plaything.”
     
    “ Maybe I’m getting sick,” I
retort smugly.
     
    “ Does that mean you need me
or Ryk to go check on her?” Von’s silver eyes look calculatingly at
me.
     
    As my heart skips a beat,
I know Von’s on to me. “No, I can handle it. I’m drawn to her for
some inexplicable reason, but I’m sure with time it will wear off.”
The need to go to her overwhelms me. Before my brother can say
anything else, I turn on my heel and leave the room.
     
    With my heart beating
faster than it should, I go to the room I left her in and open the
door. I do a double-take of the bed. She’s not there! A submissive
should always follow commands. My lips press together as
frustration builds in my chest.
     
    My gaze darts around the
small room. My little seema can’t be under the bed or the chair.
She could use a few pounds for sure, but she’s not that skinny. I
walk over to the bathroom and open the door. I expect to see her so
when I don’t I can’t stop the growl that escapes my
lips.
     
    The need to find her right
now dominates my thoughts. I have to see her. Anger flares through
me as I realize she’s already gotten under my skin. I close my eyes
and push the anger aside. Never let a seema or a live-sex-plaything
control your actions. How many times have I told younger warriors
those words? I shake my head and force myself to calm the zyf
down.
     
    “ Never let a seema get to
you,” I whisper to myself as I leave the bathroom.
    I sniff the air and smile
when I catch her scent. If I’d stopped and focused on her
