and kicked the chair to the dinette table. Her watchful gaze stayed on him. She ran shaky fingers through the tangles and knots in her hair.
    Seconds ticked by painfully slowly as they watched each other in silence. He willed her to turn away first. Her look of defiance told him they would be at this for a long time—until she snagged on a knot. She whispered to herself and finally broke eye contact to concentrate on her hair.
    He could give her a comb, if he wanted to be nice. She muttered louder as she pulled at a clump of hair. He made his way to the bathroom. Against his better judgment he was going to be nice, today. Her gaze followed him as he grabbed a comb off the bathroom counter and tossed it on her lap.
    She picked it up and squinted. She turned it between her hands and inspected it before setting it next to her. Either he had read her wrong and she didn’t need a comb or she didn’t know what to do with it. He rolled his eyes at the latter thought.
    Priceless.
    Towering over her, he hooked his thumbs in the waist of his worn, leather pants. “What’s your name?”
    Her attention snapped back to him. Feathered lashes blinked once, then twice. A look of boredom stretched across her soft features that were as perfect as a porcelain doll’s.
    Okay. She wasn’t going to answer that question either.
    He thumbed his chest. “Captain Kane Epps.”
    She gave a small dip of her head. Definitely royalty. She straightened on his bed, her brows scrunched together. “ Sa liet Moira, Yazmine un Nebin? ”
    Against his will, he took a step back. Most of the aliens had voices that were harsh on his ears, reminding him of nails on a chalkboard. But hers…he could get used to if he wasn’t careful.
    Stunned, he caught himself. Get used to her? What the hell was coming over him? Get rid of her was what he had intended to think.
    He assumed she was asking about the others. “The females and your guard are secured.”
    She did the regal nod thing again.
    “Are you going to answer any of my questions?”
    “ Nes. ”
    Okay. “Maybe I’ll have better luck with your crew?” He rocked on his heels. “Do you think they would survive my interrogation?”
    She went ridged.
    “Ah, I must’ve hit a nerve. I’m sure they’ll be a wealth of information.”
    She shook her head.
    “We’ll see.”
    She turned her head and whispered under her breath.
    “Last chance.”
    She didn’t acknowledge him.
    “Fine, have it your way.” Without waiting for a response, he went to the communication panel. He ignored the feeling of her eyes on him as he pushed the intercom button. “Ryan, meet me in the female captives’ cabin.”
    Ryan’s voice echoed through the speakers. “Sure thing, Captain.”
    Kane stepped out the door and engaged the security lock from outside. If she thought of escaping, she wouldn’t get far.
    He made a beeline to the cabin where the females were being held. As he walked, the lights in his corridor blinked on. Since leaving Earth they had all suffered the consequences of a thrown-off circadian rhythm. The Loconuist vessel had been a nightmare. It had been lit brighter than a Christmas tree around the clock.
    The Galontaers’ planet hadn’t been any better. It had twenty-seven hours of daylight and four hours of night. If working in the mines hadn’t killed him, the day and night schedule would’ve. But luckily for them, Kyle had been able to set the vessel’s schedule to mimic Earth’s rotation. And from the activation of the lights, it was 6:23 a.m., Eastern Standard Time.
    The living quarters on the vessel had a staggering number of corridors, twenty to be exact. The captain’s wing boasted five spacious cabins while the remaining corridors held ten cabins each. That was a lot of room for a crew of six, including the occasional hostages.
    He had taken the captain’s cabin. JB had taken one of the larger cabins in his wing. Ryan, Kyle and Eli had taken cabins in the same corridor and Jess had
