reinforced his opinion that Earth women were only good for sex. He hated the fact that he’d wanted Brigit to be the exception. But, she wasn’t. He’d created an illusion out of wishful thinking and must now accept that fact.
    Everything beyond a physical coupling with her was mired due to her indecisive behavior. Earlier, that would’ve matter naught. Why now? What had changed? For the first time in Orion’s life, joining wasn’t enough. It pained him to acknowledge such, but he needed more, wanted more from this woman.
    Was she capable of giving him what he sought? He knew not, for the search had yet to reveal any answers.
    The announcer called out their names. Brigit smiled, but it did not reach her eyes. A second later, she stepped onto the stage. She stuck her hand into a hidden flap in her skirt that Orion hadn’t noticed before and pulled out a gold chain with a gem-encrusted hoop at one end. She latched the collar around her neck and then held out the leash for him to take. The action seemed meaningless, but he knew better.
    Heat flared, sending a surge of power, along with an onslaught of sexual awareness through Orion. She was offering herself to him, giving freely what he could so easily take. Her gift was simple yet primal, more powerful than had she spread her legs and bent forward, offering her ass and honey-laced quim for his immediate consumption. Orion shuddered. His gaze locked onto the chain a second before grasping the cool links in his hand. It felt satiny to the touch, yet scalded like flame.
    The gold sparkled in the spotlight, spilling droplets of light over their skin and onto the floor. He longed to tongue every twinkle that caressed her soft feminine body. He watched the rays dance for a moment, then turned his attention back to his gift .
    He gave the leash a gentle tug, drawing in the slack until it pulled taut. Brigit’s eyes flashed, then melted into an emerald pool of desire. Orion saw promises in their depths, along with something else. Something that if he were in his right mind should worry him, but didn’t.
    Her body subtly moistened. He could smell her heat in the air. He inhaled, drunk with need.
    Orion’s cock hardened, demanding release from the confines of his spacesuit. The fragile chain stretched between them, frail in its substance, but substantial in significance. He was going to like this new game. A lot. And from the expression on Brigit’s face, he wasn’t the only one.
    Are you certain you want me to have this little one? Be sure, for once I accept your offer I will not release you from this unspoken bargain. The question filtered wordlessly between them. Her gaze widened, then her brow wrinkled in confusion. Had she heard him? If so, how? There was no link in place, only this delicate chain. Orion ignored his own question. He would discover the answer later. It was time to reel in his pet.

Chapter Four
     
    Brigit pretended to struggle against the leash, her hands clawing at the collar, causing Orion’s muscles to flex under the light. She watched his breathing deepen and his pupils dilate. Seeing his response sent a thrill of triumph coursing through her blood. Color bloomed in his cheeks. He liked this game.
    She continued to lead them down the catwalk. Halfway to the end she dropped to her knees and slinked toward him on all fours. For a second, Orion looked as if he’d take a step back, then he stilled, his gaze zeroing in on her. The intensity she saw there sent delicious shivers rippling over her body, hardening her nipples, wetting her sex until she feared the audience would see her drip onto the stage.
    Brigit rubbed her body against Orion’s calf, arching her back like a cat in need of attention. Then she sat back onto her knees and raked her nails down the length of his thigh. She saw the material of his spacesuit costume to bulge below his waist. Brigit flicked her gaze up, capturing his eyes. His fists bunched. Suddenly, she couldn’t resist. She
