of us.”
    She spun on Kue, her anger and frustration boiling
over. “I am not here for your or anyone’s amusement or fuck toy. Get that into
your big heads right now!”
    His eyes widened at her outburst. He opened his mouth,
but Raz suddenly shoved him out the way. “You’re not a toy, Celeste. Please let
us explain. Yes, we want to fuck you, but there is a lot more to it than that.
We want you to be our sheraz.”
    “ Are you slower than a glacier? You don’t just blurt
out your intent like that.” Kue shoved back at his brother. Chest to chest they
glared at each other. For some odd reason a renewed flare of heat wound through
her at the sight of them trying to stare each other down.
    So masculine, so alpha, so… She shook her head,
shoving down those thoughts, focusing back on her anger. She didn’t know what a sheraz was, but wasn’t waiting around
to find out.
    “ I really don’t care anymore. It’s clear you don’t care
what I want.”
    “ What do you want, lovely?” Kue got in first.
    “ To be left the hell alone!” She glared at each of them
before spinning on her heel and marching down the corridor before turning
right.
    After her first efforts, it wasn’t long before she
caught and followed the familiar scent and breeze of the planet’s air. It led
her to the ramp of this huge ship. She surveyed the area round them, then
glanced over her shoulder, half expecting one of them to be following her
around, half glad they hadn’t. She sighed, not actually wanting to leave the
safety and comfort these aliens had offered, even if they did only want to get
into her pants. Her mind spun with confusing, conflicting thoughts.
    Would it be so
bad? They were strong, and far sexier than any human man
she’d ever seen past a leading Hollywood actor, even if they were candy red.
They had every appearance of wanting to take care of her. She shuddered,
despite the warmth in the air. Everything in her life had come with a price to
pay. She searched her memory as she walked barefoot down the ramp and climbed
up on to a large rock to sit and mull things over. No matter how she tried, she
could not recall ever receiving a genuine, loving touch from anyone. Not any of
those who cared for her since her mother left her. She was a burden, passed on,
and only used if someone wanted something. Why would these large red men be any
different? All they wanted was to use her and abuse her like everyone else.
     

Chapter Five
     
    Zeb paused at the ramp of the ship. Celeste sat on the
top of a boulder, her back hunched. He admired the curve of Celeste’s feminine
form, sitting crossed legged, showing the creamy white of her legs. He mentally
growled at his wayward rod as it lengthened and hardened at the sight. He
shoved the thoughts deep down, even if his body refused to cooperate.
    What was she doing out here, rather than within the
safety of the ship? Why weren’t one of his foolish brothers watching over her?
He scowled, assuming they had to have done something to drive her off the ship.
    With practiced stealth, he moved up to stand behind
her. The fading sunlight picked up rich highlights of gold and red in her clean
hair, and her pale neck tilted to one side, showing an elegant grace.   She stared off into the distance, clearly
lost in thought. Her chest heaved in a sad sigh.
    Not wanting to startle her, he cleared his throat. She
stiffened. Her head lifted, the curtain of her hair rippling as she turned to
stare at him. Her shoulders visibly relaxed, and she turned her head away. Yes,
his brothers had done something to make her want to leave the ship.
    ****
    "Be at ease, Celeste." A deep voice rumbled
making her freeze and turn.
    Relief flooded through her, seeing it was just Zeb.
This was one brother who didn't seem in a hurry to jump her bones. He looked
calm and collected, his eyes curious.   It
made her relax somewhat.
    He sat down on the rock beside her, not touching,
joining her in watching the purplish haze
