no?”
    “Then you are free to choose any set of males on our world.” Tarin’s expression filled with regret. “Though, we cannot return you to Earth unmated. If you return alone, your uncle would find you and sell you as he promised and there is the likelihood that you could be the mate of another of our kind.”
    “So I must stay even if it’s against my will?” Dana sighed. It seemed as though she was in a tight spot. As she heard her father once say, she was damned if she did and damned if she didn’t. What did she have to lose beyond her virginity? It seemed that, like it or not, her life was already in their hands.
    Lorcan shrugged. “Perhaps, if you will not accept us, those you will accept would like to return to your world as we planned to. However, we cannot make that promise to you.”
    “You would return to–to my world and live there?” Hope blossomed in her chest as she pushed what was left of her cold meal to the side. “You would take me to Indian country where my uncle and his henchmen would fear to follow?”
    “We would.” Tarin smiled and covered her hand with his. “We must return home and tell others of your miraculous planet so far untouched by intergalactic war. Perhaps we can protect your people and, in turn, your planet can give us the mates we so desperately seek.”
    Dana licked her lips, her gaze darting back and forth between them. “And if I say yes?”
    “You won’t regret it, baby. I promise you.” Lorcan stared into her eyes and she could see his sincerity.
    “Well…” She paused to take another drink, barely believing she was going to capitulate. “I did enter into a contract with at least one of you.” Closing her eyes, she shook her head. “I don’t even believe I’m going to say this, it seems so wrong, so wanton, but—” Stopping, she took a deep breath. “I will do it.”
    There. She’d said it. She jumped feetfirst into an ocean of uncertainty, but one thing was certain. At least she would only have to surrender her favors to two men, not two hundred. That was something, at least.

Chapter Nine
     
    Lorcan almost choked on the mouthful of Naruvian ale he’d just started to swallow. She agreed that soon? How brave their mate was. “You won’t regret it, I promise you,” he said with a smile. Standing, he looked at Tarin and held out his hand for Dana to take it. “Shall we adjourn to the bonding room?”
    “Bonding room?” Dana’s hand trembled in his. “You mean to take me there now, just after lunch?” She blushed prettily, her gaze darting everywhere but to his or Tarin’s face. “It’s the middle of the day! It’s—it’s indecent!” Dana put her free hand to her throat, her fingers trembling against her pounding pulse.
    Her heartbeat increased with the idea. He could hear it. But it wasn’t with fear that her heart pounded so loudly. It was with excitement. Her heart raced with anticipation, and he could smell her arousal.
    It seems our mate is more eager than she would seem, old friend. I smell her sweet cream, and I can hear her heart pounding with eagerness to feel our bodies become one.
    I, too, hear it, Lorcan. Tarin stood, barely suppressing the smile Lorcan could see hovering around the corners of his mouth. We can only hope our mate is as curious as she is eager.
    Yes, he thought. Tarin was right with that one. Turning, he led their mate from the mess hall, leaving Tarin to clean up their mess. Normally he would have stayed and helped, but he didn’t want to give Dana the time to change her mind.
    The best thing he could think of was getting her to the bonding chamber as quickly as possible where they could ply her with Laluna, the drink meant for nervous mates that would free them of their inhibitions without dulling their cognitive decision-making abilities. That way, the mate in question knew what they were doing but felt neither guilt nor shame over the acts of which they found themselves a part.
    Thankfully, the bonding
