never admit to her that he relished the sight of her naked, exposed flesh. She had the look of a human, especially without the clothing to hide her more curvaceous form. The similarities were slight, but present all the same. Yet she wasn’t human. Her dark hair and violet eyes marked her as a hybrid, as did her fangs. He wished he could see all of her, but her gown still covered her lower half. He wondered if she was lightly furred like human females or if her mound was mostly hairless like the hybrids. He didn’t need to know the answer to that question. He didn’t need further temptation.
    Modez sighed as his gaze lingered where it shouldn’t. The girl hated him, and for good reason. He had not treated her with kindness. He had made his rejection of her more than clear, and he had every intention of rejecting her still. He closed his eyes, willing the image of Kiera strapped to his bed to disappear from his mind. He would never express an interest in her, never let her possess the knowledge of his interest. If she suspected he desired her, she would be able to easily manipulate him by bargaining with her body until he gave in to whatever she wanted. He had vowed to never again fall prey to another seductress uttering false words of love.
    Modez pulled the covers up to her neck, shielding her from his eyes. Her nakedness was impairing his judgment, making him think he desired her when he did not. He didn’t want her. He just needed a woman and the lack of one was making him appear indiscriminate in his tastes. Once he was finally given the use of a bed servant, the indecent thoughts of Kiera would stop. He made one last look at the sleeping woman before he made his exit.
     

Chapter 5
     
     
    Cabrian pulled Cassia down the hallway, glaring at all the males who stared at her naked body. He had wanted to cover her, but Diermont had given an order. She was to be kept naked as punishment for being human. And so Diermont could look at her without admitting that he found humans attractive. He had seen the spark of lust in Diermont’s eyes when he had caressed Cassia’s breast. The prince wanted her. It wouldn’t do for a prince bent on genocide to lust after the very race he meant to destroy. Diermont was a crazy bastard. They all knew it, but they tolerated him because he was a royal.
    Cabrian glared at the hybrids until they looked away from his slave. He could hear them grumbling and he knew he needed to control his possessiveness and his jealousy. Cassia was his property, his slave. Most slave owners displayed their property proudly. They didn’t treat them like mates. He took a deep breath to calm himself. The others would look at her, but they couldn’t touch her. Hell, even he couldn’t touch her like he wanted. Damn Diermont’s stupid rules. It wasn’t right that a male couldn’t fuck his own slave.
    Cabrian blinked when the Lord of Red Isles appeared in his path. Seamus McLeod’s face was flushed and he appeared agitated. “What’s up with you?”
    Seamus growled and his eyes devoured Cassia’s naked form. “I like your new pet. Human, I see.”
    Cabrian stepped in front of Cassia in an attempt to shield her with his body. “What of it?”
    “I’m surprised Diermont let you keep her.”
    “I plan to breed her. He cannot condemn a breeder to death without just cause.”
    “You have taken her already. I saw both blue and brown stains between her thighs. How was she?”
    Relax and play it cool, he told himself. Cassia was a curiosity to Seamus and nothing more. “Spectacular, actually. Just as the rumors say. There is nothing better than a human sheath.”
    Seamus groaned. “Diermont is flaunting the human females in front of our faces, yet we are forbidden to take their bodies. It is torture. Agony.”
    “The prince gave me permission to stroke her with my hands, but I am not to touch her with my cock.” He was frustrated with the prince and he didn’t bother to hide it. Seamus gave him a
