only you . Damn it. Stay strong .
    â€œ I need a woman.”
    Pick me! Strong, remember? “Not me.”
    Desire was blended with irritation and anger, all three fiercely directed at her. He looked frightening just then, reminding her of the warrior who’d attacked and defeated AIR’s best in a matter of minutes.
    Now she felt shame. Now she felt guilt she would never be able to deny. What kind of woman tongued her enemy, no matter the reason, while her teammates languished?
    â€œYou deny us both, Aleaha.”
    Her stomach clenched, but she forced herself to say, “I don’t know you, I don’t like you. Of course I deny us both.”
    â€œVery well.” He popped to his feet, dragging her with him. He was scowling. “In time you will learn about me, and you will like me. That’s a command.”
    â€œI haven’t obeyed you once.” Or maybe she had. The details were as foggy as her mind. “What makes you think I’ll start now?”
    He peered down at her, one golden brow arched.“I’m halfway there already. Your nipples are still hard.”
    â€œSo?” Cheeks flushing, she fought the urge to cover herself. “It’s still cold out here.”
    â€œYou begged for me.”
    That was not something she needed to be reminded of; she remembered, both hating and loving herself for it. Hating because of all the baggage that came with the pleasure, and loving because, well, it had felt so damn good. But just as soon as she’d spent a few minutes alone, she’d love herself to earth-shattering completion and could hate him without this pesky need being in the way.
    â€œTemporary insanity. I also told you to stop.”
    Clearly frustrated, he tangled a hand through his hair. “Do you have an answer for everything?”
    â€œYes.”
    His tongue swiped over his teeth. She’d tasted that tongue, almost bitten that tongue.
    Never again, she told herself. Enough stalling. It was time to act. She pictured Macy in her mind and felt her body respond accordingly. Her hair shortened, as did her legs. Her boobs grew—a lot. Much better. This was her shield. Her armor against the world. And now against Breean.
    He scowled at her but didn’t comment. “Come. There is much to do and I’ve wasted enough time chasing you.”
    Yes, she’d made sure of that. But still the backup agents hadn’t shown. Aleaha prayed nothing had happened to them. With the bleak turn this nighthad already taken, however, she doubted the prayer would be heeded.

    Breean’s warriors had gathered the AIR agents, as ordered, and started for the underground holding cell they’d hurriedly constructed on one of their trips here. It had taken him fifteen minutes to catch up with them and their human cargo, Aleaha tossed over his shoulder, and then another five to reach the dilapidated house they’d confiscated on the outskirts of the city; it was the perfect hideout, since the area was seemingly forgotten by Earth’s inhabitants. Maybe because there was no vegetation or animals, the air drier than dirt, stinging the nostrils as though acid were being inhaled. It was still cold here, but there was none of that beautiful white snow.
    Breean left Aleaha locked up in one of the bedrooms, comfortable and fed, yet separated from her people, for an entire Earth week. She tried to escape at least twice a day, but he caught her each time, attuned to her in a way he didn’t understand.
    He’d hoped to develop a resistance to her while he saw to the defenses of his true home in the city. He’d hoped to develop a resistance to her while the days passed.
    Despite his best efforts, Aleaha never left his mind. His only hope now was that time had softened her dislike of him, that she craved another of his kisses. The first had nearly burned him alive. No woman had ever tasted so sweet or felt so perfect against him. And, yes, others
