tried pushing his steadying hand away. She hated the way he was fussing over her. Why should he be so concerned about her anyway? He didn’t care about her well being. How could he? He’d taken her against her will and he was determined to make her into some sort of breeding machine.
    “You smell like some sort of flower.”
    “That would be my perfume.” She laughed. “It was magnolia today. I like to wear different scents every so often.” Looking to the door, she made a clicking sound with her tongue. “I think we should leave Mathias and Talia alone. He’s already done his duty by impregnating her … why don’t you do your duty?” The thought popped into her head like a sudden thunderstorm. She licked her lips. The thought was more enticing than she would have thought only five seconds ago.
    Was it the Gaian vodka finally seeping into her blood and doing its aphrodisiac duty? She laughed. She could have eaten a plateful of oysters and she wouldn’t probably feel as horny and restless as she was feeling right now.
    Talia stepped forward. “The vodka has muddled your reasoning. You were dead set against sleeping with him not twenty minutes ago. Do not do something unless you want to, Freya. I fear the vodka is talking right now and not your true conscience.”
    “Twenty minutes changed my mind. You did give them a fervent defense. Maybe they aren’t as bad as I thought they were. They are ... well, they are quite handsome specimens as far as men go. And look at Aries, he’s a real stud. You are so right, I should Doorway to the Stars by Marly Mathews 26
    be happy to have him as my soon to be husband. Of course, I expect him to put a ring on my finger as soon as possible. And, I’d like some form of contract drawn up that will serve as an understanding between us.”
    “ Understanding? ”
    She slapped him on his rock solid chest and smiled at him. The muscles that she felt against her hand made her draw in her breath sharply.
    “Why don’t we get back so we can have some privacy between us … I think I want to get to know you better.” She reached around and pinched his ass.
    There was a hint of doubt in his eyes. He narrowed them and gave her a stern gaze. “You are drunk.”
    “And you are quite astute to have noticed that. I’m past being just drunk … I’m rip roaring drunk.”
    “You are as your people would say … smashed.”
    She chuckled. “Well, either way, I want to leave Talia and Mathias alone. We definitely shouldn’t be cramping their style, they need to be free to act like the lovebirds they are.”
    He grabbed her hand. “Come on. I want you to get some food into that empty stomach of yours. You don’t know what you are saying or doing, and I’m not going to take advantage of that.”
    “Why not? You admitted earlier that you wanted me badly. And, Talia confirmed the fact that I have to screw you in order to lower my temperature. I’m so damned sick of being hot … I just want to cool off.” Before she knew it they were back in his quarters.
    “You know, your quarters are quite lavishly decorated and furnished. I guess though that nothing is too good for a Gaian Prince. All hail, Prince Aries.” She snickered, and gave him a curtsy. A servant moved forward into the room, pushing a trolley of food and drink in front of him. Aries looked down at the wine that was sitting on the table.
    “Take this back with you, Ren. We aren’t in the mood for wine tonight.”
    “Wine?” She moved forward. “I do like a glass of wine now and then.”
    “Don’t even think about it. You’ve had your limit for one day.”
    “There you go again, giving me orders.” Ren left the trolley, grabbed the wine bottle and raced to leave the quarters. Aries shut the door behind him, and entered a sequence into the computer pad that was probably some sort of locking code.
    “Don’t suppose you’d like to tell me the code that will open the door, huh?”
    “Not really.”
    “Good to
