other.”
    I backed into the tiny kitchen. Cunning? Fearless? Really? He scared the piss out of me. “So you won’t stop me from going after the traitors?”
    “You agree to finish the mating bond now, and we will hunt them together.”
    I gaped at him in horror. “You want to do the nasty here? In front of them?”
    “Refuse, and you will never find your mother’s killer.”
    For a brief moment I considered filling him full of lead, but the bastard was wearing his battle armor. I had no choice but to surrender, and he knew it. “I have your word that we are full partners in the hunt for the traitors?”
    “Yes.”
    “Then we have a deal, but if you break it, I will kill you,” my evil twin spat.
    Voss threw back his head and roared with laughter.
    “I’m glad you find me so amusing.”
    “Your defiance is a refreshing change.”
    “I guess you are used to scaring the snot out of people. Maybe if you stopped stealing women, you’d make a few more friends, and everyone would stop trying to kill you.”
    “We do what we must to survive.”
    “What a load of crap.”
    His face hardened, and he commanded, “Drop your shields.”
    God, I hoped I was doing the right thing. I had to find Mom’s killers and stop the traitors, no matter what the consequences. I lowered my shields, flinching as he slid into my mind and made himself at home. I could feel him sifting through my memories of Paul.
    I hissed, “Jealous?”
    His big hand stroked my neck possessively. “He was your only lover, and as a warrior should, he died protecting you.”
    I bristled as the old pain swept through me. “Those memories are private. Stay the hell out of them.”
    His hand tightened. “Take off your pants.”
    Say what? No foreplay? Not even a kiss? “You want to have sex with me looking like a guy?”
    “I will have you no matter what you look or smell like,” Voss growled.
    I had used the antidote cream after my escape, but the faint scent of skunk still clung to me. It took every ounce of courage I had to remove my gun belt and drop it on the counter. “We really don’t have time for this.”
    Implacable resolve filled Voss’s eyes, and he drawled ominously, “There is no going back. Take off your pants.”
    Nervously I chewed on my lower lip. I could do this. So their penises were different from humans. How bad could it be?
    “I don’t have any pubic hair either,” Voss added.
    That I could live with. I slowly toed off my boots. “And how about balls? You got any of those?”
    “No.”
    “Paul had nice big ones.”
    A dangerous light glittering in his eyes, Voss queried, “Do you think I care?”
    “Probably not.” I sucked in a deep breath and removed my jeans, revealing the Askole armor.
    Voss shook his head in disbelief. “You were the one who ordered the child-sized armor?”
    “Yep, you should have seen the general’s face when he got the bill.” I smiled at the memory of his tirade.
    Something thrashed wildly against the front of Voss’s pants.
    Okay, that was a bit freaky. “You got a critter in your pants?”
    “No,” he growled through gritted teeth.
    Then it hit me. It was his snake penis thingy. “Is it supposed to do that?”
    “The drive to complete the mating bond is very strong.”
    No kidding. It was almost as if the thing was trying to eat its way out. I backed away from him. “Kinda like the salmon swimming upstream, huh?”
    “It’s not quite the same.” The Battle Commander pounced with a ferocity that startled me, and with one quick movement had my armor off.
    Panic bubbled up. “Wait! Can I see it first?”
    Voss sat me on the counter. “See it?”
    “You know, your snake penis thingy.”
    He stared at me for a long moment and then nodded. “Yes, you may examine my thingy.” He removed his weapons belt, boots, and battle suit.
    Wowzers, that was one fine ass. Tight. Muscled.
    Voss turned.
    His chest was so ripped, and I wanted to lick every inch of it. My eyes bugged out.
