urge to shelter her breasts behind her hands. She wanted him to see her, to desire her. She wanted him to find her breasts alluring and irresistible. She had one more question, however.
“Surely you do not intend to mate me with your men listening in the next room?”
He came up to her, smoothed his hands over her bare arms. He ran his fingers across the top of her chest, skimming the yearning flesh of her swollen breasts. “Were our situation different, I would consider waiting until after the Acceptance Ceremony on Rb’qarm for full mating, however—”
“Will you wait if I promise to accept this marriage?” She would bargain, willingly offer anything that would buy her some much-needed time to think. To plan.
“No, Nnora, I will not.” He shook his head. “You bargain falsely. You mean to placate me now, while you plot your later escape. I admire your tenacity, fem , as it will serve you well in your new role as my mate and consort.” He sighed.
“I know you are as attracted to me as I am to you. The flowering does not lie. I truly regret having to snatch you away against your will. If only I could spend more time courting you, if only I were not so desperately needed back home—” He shook his head again.
“I do not care to see you unhappy, my fem . I vow I will make everything up to you. I will shower you with the gift of my affections and will grant you whatsoever else you desire, up to the half of my kingdom.” He smoothed back her hair, gaze lingering on her face.
What was he looking for? What did he want from her?She tipped her head back to lock gazes with his fascinating eyes and felt him capture her left arm in a firm grip. He pressed something into her forearm.
The ampoule he had received from his henchman—she had forgotten in her fear and scheming. It dissolved quickly and painlessly into her skin. She recoiled away from him in terror, staring at her arm.
God, was she poisoned? Had he drugged her to ease his kidnapping plans?
“What did you do to me? What did you give me?”
Dare I trust your answer?
“Be calm, Nippa. It is merely a nanotech learning device.” He sought to soothe her by allowing her to place distance between them. “It is a miniature translator which will not only allow us to communicate more effectively with each other by attaching a node to your cerebral cortex—it will gradually give you a complete database of the emotional context of the words and phrases, as well as the grammatical usage. You will soon be speaking and understanding our language as if you were born to it, which, in fact, you were.
She rubbed at her arm, frowning. She narrowed her eyes, glared at him. “I don’t like that you did that without asking me. I have a right to make my own decisions, Glendevtorvas.”
I will give you all the choices I can—all but the choice to deny me, now.”
“That is no choice, at all,” she snapped.
“I realize this situation is not fair to you, Nnora. Again, I regret I do not have the time or the self-control to withhold myself from you, to court you as I wish to. It has been many years since my terat have softened for a fem . I had thought myself resigned, used to the lack, and then I peeked into your cleansing room. I saw you touch yourself, smelled the flowering of your sweet pussy. I tell you…” He gathered her close as he stared into her eyes. “You will never know how close you came to being taken against the reflecting wall. I have yet to regain that lost control, and for that I give you my apologies. I make no apologies for anything else.”
He bent to press a soft kiss against her lips.
Nnora turned her head away.
His fingers snagged her chin, turned her face up to his.
“Resign yourself, Nippa . As sure as the stars burn, we shall share sex…and soon . I dare not allow you to remain unmated the length of the journey home. My men are as cruelly deprived as myself, and you present a heady temptation. I will not chance having to kill a
