commonly used name, whore."
He ground his teeth.
"If you give me your name, I won't call you anything else. If you don't, then I guess I'll have to come up with something suitable." Hand on his chin, his gaze drifted over her body.
"Anara," She spat out. No way could she let him call her whatever he was thinking.
"Anara," he said. Her name rolled off his tongue and, to her dismay, sent a shiver up her spine. "You have a beautiful name. I'm Ryder."
When she didn't say anything, he cleared his throat. "Go ahead and take a hot shower if you want. This could be your last chance to shower for a while."
Anara stood there, still unsure why she agreed to let him help.
"I'm sorry." His soft statement barely registered with her.
She jerked her head in his direction. "For what?"
After a moment's hesitation, he looked at her and moved closer. "I'm sorry this is happening to you. Jacrar is a cruel man and you don't deserve any of this."
He lifted his hand toward her before balling it into a fist and pulling away.
A whimper tried to escape her lips. She hated how her body craved his touch. She’d never experienced arousal before and didn't know if she wanted to experience the feeling with Ryder. Forcing herself to turn away from his tempting eyes, she locked herself in the bathroom.
Anara studied the shower in confusion. On Seria, she didn't have the luxury of running water. Half-breeds could get only enough water to drink and bathe in. She'd heard about showers, but didn't know what to do.
She turned the blue knob first. Water rushed out before she could move. She screamed.
Ryder smashed through the locked door, gun raised. His gaze darted from her to the shower and his lips lifted into a half-smile.
"Not funny." She tried to look tough and realized how silly she sounded when she saw her reflection. Wet hair clung to her face and water formed small puddles at her feet.
"Here." Ryder grabbed a towel and wiped the dripping water from her face, bringing his body too close for comfort.
Anara gasped when their fingers made contact as she reached for the towel. A shock went through her body, increasing her powers. She felt his need combined with her own desires and excitement.
His finger grazed her ear as he pinched a loose curl between his thumb and index finger. She shivered as his touch went lower to her neck. So tender. He traced the Serian brand on her neck and watched her lips as she stood frozen. Her breaths came in short spurts. When he leaned in to kiss her, she couldn't stop him.
She didn't want to.
He held her close, teased her mouth with small nips. His full lips felt as soft as they looked as his kiss deepened, demanding attention. It didn't take long until she gave in and he took full advantage.
He moved her against the wall, his erection pressed against her stomach. An ache started between her legs and she wanted to feel his arousal there. Everything seemed to go so fast and Anara couldn't think past his mouth, and didn't like the way she was losing control of her body.
His kiss blew her first and only other kiss to pieces. And she had thought she loved the Serian at that time.
His broad shoulders bunched under her tight grip.
Their gazes locked when he pulled back. She stiffened at first when his hands gripped the hem of her shirt and pulled it up to remove it completely.
He held her arms in the air with one hand on her wrist and pressed his lips to hers once again. Arching her bare breasts into his chest caused a groan to slip past her lips when she met cloth instead of skin.
They dueled with their tongues as he cupped one breast. For the first time in her life, she wanted to be touched everywhere. She needed to be touched.
As he made a trail down her neck, she opened her eyes and gasped at the sight. Their bodies glowed everywhere skin touched. The white glow seemed to grow the longer they were together. Did their arousal make the light brighter?
Catching her off guard, he jerked away and broke all
