R’oan has ordered that should you come aboard, you will take up residence in our quarters.”
Of course. She couldn’t accuse him of lying to her though, since she hadn’t understood a word that had been said. They hadn’t even attempted to hide their conversation from here.
She considered each and every one of her choices very carefully. In the end, there was only one choice for her. She would be going with them, if only to prove to herself that she had made the right decision to help the women of Earth rebel and evacuate. But there was no way she was going to let them think they had the upper hand.
“I have a condition of my own.”
“Name it.” It was Thantos that spoke this time.
“I want one of those translator thingies you have in your heads. If we’re to be on level playing ground, I need to be able to understand you when you speak Helan.”
She could see the confusion. “Level playing ground?” Thantos replied. “We are not playing a game, Ms. McManus.”
“It’s an expression,” she explained, a glimmer of amusement running through her. They really were adorable when they looked at her like that. “It means that I don’t want to be at a disadvantage when I’m on board.”
Understanding crossed both men’s faces, and they both nodded at once, both at the same time. “Actually, you getting a translator goes without saying,” Thantos said, leaning forward so that his flame-red hair pooled on the table.
What was it about these men that made her want to rub that hair all over her naked body while Kerek licked between her legs?
Thantos looked at her sharply but didn’t say anything else.
Kerek, however, seemed to have lots to say. “We will leave for the ship immediately. Thantos, reschedule your lectures for tomorrow while I secure a shuttle for our transport.”
Oh, so Kerek was that kind of male. Well, he would quickly find out that she did not kowtow to anyone, let alone a stubborn man who felt he was in control of her life. She crossed her arms over her breasts, trying not to notice how hard her nipples really were.
Listen up , she scolded her traitorous body. Just because you love dominant men in bed doesn’t mean anything.
She shivered and rubbed her arms. Her body thought the idea of being a sex slave for Kerek and Thantos sounded pretty damn good, despite the fact that her mind was screaming at her to resist their Alpha male ways.
So she stood there, waiting to see if Kerek would even acknowledge that she might have a life that she couldn’t just abandon at a moment’s notice.
Kerek shut down the device he’d been talking on and turned to face her. “When is a good time for you to join us on the ship?”
Oh. That hadn’t exactly been what she been expecting. “Um, I guess any time is fine.”
Why, oh why had she just said that? She’d been determined to force them to wait for her for at least a week. Of course, that had been before Kerek had the decency to consider her schedule instead of just ordering her around.
Damn him for being considerate.
And damn her body for being thrilled with her answer. Her nipples were practically jumping off her breasts trying to get to him. And her clit, which was so swollen now that even the rub of the seam of her pants against it had her on the brink of orgasm, seemed to have a mind of its own.
Kerek, for his part, simply nodded and grinned knowingly. “Thantos and I will be leaving immediately for our ship. There is a shuttle already on the ground, and the pilot is willing to fly us to the ship and return for the passengers he’s waiting for. There is, of course, room for you to accompany us today.”
“I should go back to my apartment and pack,” she said, mentally running through the list of things she could easily fold into a suitcase that wouldn’t wrinkle too badly.
Kerek pulled on one of Thantos’s braids slightly, and she watched as the man leaned against Kerek without hesitation. “Everything you need will be
