started.
    “That I was sorry I woke you when you needed
rest.” He ground out. “Sorry, I let my desire to touch you, to feel
your touch on me, interfere with what you needed.”
    Kim searched his stormy gray eyes, trying to
decide if she could believe him, but found her answer in a
different body part when her thigh brushed against the bulge
between his legs. Pressing against it slightly, she felt it
grow.
    “Kim…” Wray growled warningly.
    “I… it really doesn’t bother you that…”
    “Of course it bothers me!” Wray growled, his
eyes flaring. “It enrages me that your male did not protect you,
that you were harmed, but it does not affect my desire for
you.”
    “I… I don’t have a male.” She admitted and
slowly ran her fingers along his wide shoulders watching as the
heat in his eyes turned into smolder ing embers. “You really don’t mind my touch.” She whispered in
amazement.
    “Mind…” Wray wanted to roar his satisfaction
that no male had claimed her. Instead, a low growl vibrated through
his chest as he told her the truth. “I crave it.”
    Encouraged by his words Kim let her hands
slowly travel across his chest, learning every bulge, every
crevice, discovering that his skin was not only hot, but also
smooth and silky.
    “Kim…” Wray groaned.
    “Yes , Wray?” she
asked, looking up at him through her lashes.
    “You must stop… you are… “
    “I am what?”
    “You are testing my control and you must
not.”
    “Why?” Innocent green eyes met his.
    Wray’s gaze became fierce as he pulled her
further up his body. “Because I want nothing more at this moment
than to Join with you and you are still recovering. I will not risk
harming you.”
    "Join..." Kim searched her mind trying to
understand his meaning. When she finally did, she stiffened, her
eyes widened in fear and she started to tremble. She couldn’t…
she….
    Wray saw her fear. How could she not be after
what she had endured? “Calm, little one.” He said gently, “I would
never force myself on you.”
    “I…” Kim closed her eyes, swallowing hard, “I
know that. I…” but her voice still quivered.
    “Shh…” Wray pulled her close, hoping it would
comfort her. “It will be okay , Kim.”
    “I’m sorry.” She said as tears filled her
eyes again. “I can’t seem to stop crying.”
    “You have nothing to be sorry for , little one.” Wray carefully shifted, cradling her in
his arms. “You are strong and you have survived much, but now you
need to rest and heal.” Sitting he arranged her across his lap once
more. “Rest, little one , and know that no
harm will come to you.”
    Kim laid her head against Wray’s chest and
tried to sleep, but her mind wouldn’t settle, there were too many
thoughts running through it, too many questions she didn't have the
answers to and the harder she tried to relax the more tense she
became.
    “Kim…” Wray could feel her muscles
tightening, but didn’t know how to help.
    “Talk to me , Wray,”
she pleaded, her arms wrapped around his massive biceps like a vine
clinging, holding on to the only solid thing in her life. “I need
to hear your voice.”
    “What do you want me to talk about?”
    “I don’t know. Anything. Everything. Tell me
about your world.”
    “My world….” Wray thought about the Tornian
Empire, he had known it all his life, had loved every part of it,
but how did he describe it?
    “Wray?”
    Pleading eyes looked up at him and the words
poured out of him. “The Tornian Empire contains twelve main
planets, each ruled by a Lord, who reports to the Emperor, all
except for Luda.”
    “Luda?” she asked, her eyes never leaving
his.
    “Yes, Luda is ruled by a King. He is always a
blood relative of the Emperor and is next in line to rule if the
Emperor dies without male offspring.” He felt the tension slowly
start to leave her body as he told her about his world. “Together
they create the Assembly of Lords and rule the
