want to go to him.”
    Eva thought about it for a few seconds before replying that she wanted to go to him. The thought of being hunted down made her want to throw up. At least she could go to him with her head held high and ready to face her future head on.
    But angry was a mild understatement. When she finally reached the room where Taio and a handful of his men were, he looked beyond angry.
    “He will not harm you,” Ship said to her softly. As she walked closer, Taio’s lavender eyes glared at her, a scowl on his face and arms crossed over his muscled chest.
    “Tell that to him.” She nodded in his direction.

Chapter Seven
     
    Taio kept his eyes on Eva as she ate. The dining hall was capable of holding thirty guards and was currently empty except for him, Eva and five others. Although nearly empty, he noticed she positioned herself as far away from him as she possibly could, as if she thought the distance would save her from him. Humph, not hardly. The only reason he let her keep her distance was because of Ship. Otherwise, he would have flung her across his shoulder and taken her to his bed three rotations ago, after her release from the healing tank.
    Even though she sat at the table by herself, he could hear her talking. Eva had since exchanged the oversized shirt for a smaller skin suit.
    The suit was his sister Saia’s from when she had traveled with him a few cycles back. It was obvious Eva had trimmed the bottom to accommodate her short stature. But otherwise the suit was tight in all the right places. Her breasts strained against the material as if they would explode out at any moment. The thought made his cock twitch with anticipation.
    She wore her dark hair pulled back in a tight bun on the back of her head. He opened and closed his fingers, imagining them undoing the bun and running his fingers through each silky strand. He was sure it was just as soft as it looked.
    Since she sat by herself, he could only guess she was in deep conversation with Ship. About what, he had no idea. He caught snippets of her words every now and then. Some words he understood, others he did not. Ship was in the process of updating the Universal Translator to accommodate the new language. Ship requested that Eva talk as much as possible so he could work out the nuances of the funny language from her home world.
    As if sensing his stares, she glanced quickly in his direction. The words on her luscious lips trailed off mid-sentence. He should have turned his head, but didn’t. No need to, she would be his soon. He had claimed her. His crew had already been warned to stay away from the human female.
    Blue eyes, the same color as Sonis’ Singha Ocean, blinked once, then twice, before turning away. Her small head shook, gesturing no, undoubtedly to Ship. He was sure he would hear about it later. Ship would not be pleased with him. He’d promised Ship he would stay away from her while she became acclimated to the new culture she would be thrust into.
    “What are your plans for her when we reach Sonis?” Jor’Dan asked.
    The younger guard sat down on the bench next to him and chewed on a piece of dried meat. Jor’Dan stood half a head shorter than him and his build wasn’t as thick as Taio and Rasha’s. Instead of pulling his long hair to the nape of his neck as most of the guards preferred, Jor’Dan displayed his freely. He still had a lot to learn. Even though the females seemed to prefer his hair wild, it was not advantageous for fighting.
    “She will be mine.”
    Jor’Dan nodded in response. “Since you have threatened death to anyone who approaches her, I already suspected that.”
    Jor’Dan had been with him for over ten cycles, working his way from hired mercenary to royal guard. Next to Ship and Rasha, Jor’Dan could be counted as one of his most loyal friends.
    “I will keep her with me for the time being. She has no family to protect her.”
    “And you are keeping her only because she needs
