on the bed and yet the
moment she felt the mattress dip, she jolted completely awake and
tensed all over—fearing/hoping he would reach for her. He did. He
took the cover she’d wrapped around her and spread it over the two
of them. Even as she curled into a tight ball again, however, he
planted a hand on her belly and dragged her back until she could
feel the heat of his body and the tickle of his chest and groin
hair along her back. Tucking her head on one rock hard bicep, he
curled his other arm around her and then a leg and settled his face
against the back of her head.
    She was still lying stiff and tense
against him when she heard his breathing slow and grow deeper and
knew he’d fallen asleep. She couldn’t have been less comfortable if
she’d been strapped to a rock and yet, somehow, she managed to fall
asleep.
    The nightmare woke her. Even though
she couldn’t recall more than a little of it when it jerked her
awake, she knew it was the same dream. Tariq’s hand glided slowly
up her belly and settled between her breasts as she lay panting
with residual fear. She thought at first he was merely moving in
his sleep, but then he tipped his head downward and she felt his
lips along her shoulder.
    Her heart calmed its frantic rhythm.
Shifting closer until she could feel his heat against her back
again, she drifted, comforted by the wall of flesh surrounding her.
It flickered through her mind to wonder if he meant to do more and
then she dropped into nothingness.

Chapter Four
    Tariq didn’t regret his
decision although he was willing to acknowledge that Koryn was
right in a sense. He was borderline obsessed with Emerald, but he had been
on a purely scientific level and as a potential breeder for the
heir he wanted so badly since she’d begun to develop so he didn’t
see his interest, as keen as it was, as anything to be particularly
concerned about. It wasn’t obsession in the sense of a pathological
need. It was a rational, controllable interest and for equally
logical reasons.
    His bloodlines were not
only important to him, they were important to the Anunnaki or he
wouldn’t enjoy the position he did among them. Emerald was as close
to perfection on a genetic level as he thought he was likely to
find among the purebloods, especially considering what they had found, so his
decision to breed her was just plain good sense. On a less exalted
level, his sexual urges were also completely normal and
understandable given his situation. They’d expected to be
transporting a large number of the purebloods back to Nibiru and
had limited shipboard personnel accordingly. It was his vessel and
he was the commander and he was fully aware that he could’ve
brought a woman along to provide for his sexual needs. He’d chosen
not to for the simple reason that it would set a bad example for
the lower ranks, which was always a matter of prime consideration
for him, and also because he’d fully intended to choose one of the
purebloods for his bed as soon as one was available.
    He hadn’t expected to endure
abstinence quite as long as he had and his superior bloodlines
didn’t protect him from his natural urges any more than it did
anyone else. There wasn’t a man onboard that wasn’t suffering from
blue balls as badly as he was except for those who’d found respite
in a fellow crewmember.
    And he hadn’t taken a female
crewmember into his bed for the same reason he hadn’t brought a
woman along to start with—bad example to the others. He firmly
believed in leading by example. If he set the highest standards for
himself—and he did—his men struggled to give him their
best.
    He’d been tempted to discard his lofty
principles and take care of his needs, more than once, but he
hadn’t, which made it completely understandable as far as he was
concerned that he was now approaching the point of feverish
desperation to get his hands on Emerald.
    It wasn’t obsession. It
was need !
    Any warm female body would do. He
