nothing. The sweetness of an individual was an aroma Taz used to differentiate. If the human before him were fifty times her size she would still smell of caring, compassion, determination and beyond her fear was courage. The scent was intoxicating.
    There was no need to kill such a beautiful creature. He could hide her away until he left and take her with him. She’d make a nice companion for the way home. Or as a gift. All he needed was to get the prize. After that thought, the female moved—fast. A sledge hammer was swung at his head. Last second his shield went up.
    The resounding ping of the blow was enough to startle him. Holy shit. Taz gave his head a shake. The female was struggling to open the door, trying to escape. Taz lunged for her, dropping his shield, his talons would slice her in half. He grabbed her, but she was a bundle of wild motion. She struggled insanely. He needed both his hands to try and still her thrashing. Her scream was short lived when Taz yanked her to his chest tilting her face up and he planted his mouth over hers to silence her. It was a mistake. His shield went crazy. Castians weren’t the only beings approaching must. Her taste filled him, devoured him. His senses went wild with the feel of her in his arms.
    This was Taz’s first kiss. Her mouth was soft, her tongue was velvet, her aroma flowed through him instead of only around him. Her moist lips quivered beneath his. She was afraid at first until Taz felt his shield reconfigure and their saliva flowed sweetly together. Taz knew he should pull away, but she was intoxicating. Her emotions fed his shield until he sensed euphoria. Her struggling ceased, and she collapsed into his arms, pressing against his chest. Her high firm breasts were crushed into him.
    When he released her lips, she was wide-eyed. There was no fear. She blinked in rapid succession. Taz knew the acceptance wouldn’t last long; his secretions gave a female enough to calm her.
    “Who are you? What are you?” she whispered.
    Taz dipped his head when she started to pull away. Her sharp intake of breath when he claimed her lips made him shudder. His shield adjusted inside centering on each different secretion she needed. The tiny female lifted her hand to run over his arm, an action she did on her own. Acceptance, his shield went into hyper claim. Taz had no idea what the emotion meant. Each touch drove him to strive harder to create the hormones she needed to feel safe in his arms. Taz wanted her to feel safe. The sensations inside made no sense. She would be a gift all right.
    His.
    Taz lifted his head breaking contact. “It appears my mission is over. I’m headed home little human female. With you.”
    “Home?”
    She sounded dazed. Her breathing grew rapid. Taz sensed her fear grow and he wanted her to be afraid, he wanted her to be fine. The warring inside him grew to such an extreme his shield came up. This close to the beast he turned into was too much for her. The female tried to kick him, tried to battle a warrior. Warnings in his shield went off. Half wanting her dead, the other half battling to keep her safe. Each hit to his person injured her and she cried out as she tried to battle him. Red marks dotted her hand. She drew her own blood. Taz’s insides screamed with the smell.
    She was injured, she should be injured.
    Damn, she shouldn’t be injured.
    Taz did the only thing he could until he would be able to figure out what he should do. Two long fangs on either side of his mouth began to drip saliva. Dipping his head Taz sunk the fangs into her throat a short way, not wanting to rip her skin apart. The reaction was instantaneous. The female went limp, the potent drug worked fast. She wasn’t unconscious, her body was placid. He swung her into his arms and pressed her safely to his chest and took off into the night. Once she was aboard his ship he could cage her. The tiny thing he held was the closest Taz had ever come to real danger. Nothing before
