shaft and squeezed. His rod pulsed in her hand and he gritted his teeth.
    Climbing onto the bed, she held his gaze. His blazing eyes stared at her with anger, but he couldn’t hide the lust underneath. With a smile of triumph, she guided him into her sex, her passage already lubricated with anticipation. Sinking 60
    Intentional Abduction – Eve Langlais down onto his flesh, she closed her eyes in pleasure as strident sirens went off, making her ears ring.
    Sirens?
    Her eyes flew open and she realized the shrill bells weren’t in her mind, but blaring throughout the ship.
    “Warning,” announced the ship’s computer.
    “Incoming vessels. Hailing attempts are not being responded to.”
    Aylia clambered off her purple warrior and shrugged back into her gown as she barked commands.
    “Distance?”
    “Forty parsecs. Estimated arrival, a quarter galactic unit.”
    “Arm the weapon systems; raise the shield,” barked Jaro.
    Aylia glared at him. “I am in charge here, not you.”
    “Have you ever fought a battle in space before?” he asked.
    “No. My craft has a cloaking device, so I usually travel unseen.”
    “Well, this ship is too big for that kind of technology and thus a prime target for bounty hunters.”
    “Why not get a smaller vessel then?” 61

    “And miss the fun and exercise I get taking them out?” A grin made Jaro’s dark lips part in a feral smile that showed off his pointy teeth.
    Blood stirred as the lust for battle imbued her.
    “Sounds like fun.”
    “Unknown vessels have armed their weapons.” The computer broke their staring match.
    “Fire on them,” she ordered.
    He sighed. “You need to be on the helm.”
    “To do what?”
    “Fly the ship, of course.” His tone conveyed impatience with her question.
    “The computer does that.”
    “You truly are a virgin in more ways than one,” he said, managing to somehow shake his head and make her feel like a child, once again, being scolded by her teacher.
    A tremor rocked the ship and Aylia stumbled before catching herself.
    “Impact. Damage to shields, fifteen percent.” Aylia froze in indecision. On the field of battle, she knew what to do; slay the enemy. Out in space, she didn’t have her sword in hand, or even an enemy in her face, just some machine whose commands she’d not completely mastered.

    Intentional Abduction – Eve Langlais Another rumble shook the ship, a stronger one this time that sent items rattling.
    “For frukx’s sake, princess. Would you let me go so we don’t die?”
    “But you are my prisoner,” she replied dumbly.
    “Fine. Tie me back up after the battle, but for right now, let’s call a truce and take care of these bastards.” The temptation to see him in fighting mode overrode the warning voice in her head. “You give your word that once the fight is done, you will resume your place as my prisoner?”
    “You have my promise.” The cocky grin didn’t entirely reassure her, but just then another tremor wracked the ship and a new siren began blaring with a warning about bulkheads getting sealed due to depressurization.
    Springing into action, she grabbed the key from the corner of the room where she’d hidden it and went to work releasing him. As soon as his wrists were free, he sat up rubbing them while spitting out a series of commands to the ship’s computer. Aylia tried to follow his complicated instructions as she undid his ankles, but he lost her with all his technical astral terms.
    She’d learned to fly in a simulator, and relied on her computer to do most of the work. Jaro, on the other hand, seemed to have an intimate knowledge of just how his ship 63
    Intentional Abduction – Eve Langlais worked and how to use it to his advantage. Just another facet and strength for the male she’d chosen.
    Grabbing some trousers, he stepped into them as he marched barefoot to the bridge, still talking nonstop to the computer. Although he ignored her, she
