serious.
"I'll need them if they come after me on Earth."
He spun around.
She almost ran into him. Her nose touched his chest.
"I will not leave you without weapons, nor will I give you any chance to hurt my men. You'll get them back when we are on Earth." At that, he turned away and boarded the large ship.
Wow, he ran hot then cold within minutes. She di dn't care as long as he got her to Earth and far away from the Jatron that did something to her body.
Their ship was double the size of the one she stole, but a liquid silver color. Inside, she noticed less control panels and buttons. Maybe because some could control without all of that. She assumed that was what the one did to free her from the Serian ship.
She looked up when the one he’d called Liam stepped forward. "You want me to put her to sleep?"
Anara stepped b ack into another hard body and turned to find Ryin behind her.
He squeezed her shoulder and gave her a sad smile. "It's okay. We just can't have you awake on the trip. There are too many people who want to kill off our species, so please don't take offense." Warmth tickled her ear as he leaned closer to whisper. "Are you sure you wouldn't want to stay?"
She shook her head. "Please. You know I can't lose control of my body. Don't make me go through that."
Ryin dropped his head and then looked behind her. "I'll take full responsibility for her. She's been through enough on her planet."
Another hand landed on her shoulder, before she could stop them. Her stiff body loosened as a wave of calm flowed through her. She couldn't bring herself to attack or protest, but she didn't go to sleep.
"He just calmed you down. Even I could tell your heart was pounding and you looked like you would be sick. Just follow me." He wrapped his hand around hers and led the way to a private room.
It wasn't very big, but for as many men that boarded the ship, you couldn't expect much. She still felt better than living in her own home. Not that she ever really called it home.
"I hope I didn't get you in trouble."
"I don't think they suspected anything." He sat on the bed and patted the empty spot beside him. The smile on his lips revealed his sharp fangs. "I won't bite, I promise."
"As if I don't know better." Her stomach screamed at her to fill it. When Ryin laughed she turned away. "I don't appreciate you laughing at me."
She jumped when he grabbed her arm and twisted her around. There was no chance to move when his lips pressed against hers. She pulled away just as quick and shoved him with all that she could. "Why would you do that?"
Not once had she seen him turn so red. "I'm sorry. I needed to see if you felt anything, but I see this is one sided."
Anara hated the way he made her feel. So instead of sticking around, she walked back out the door and headed in the opposite direction they came from. She really didn't want to risk running into the one who offered to put her to sleep.
"Anara?"
She ignored him and kept walking until a painful grip on her arm, had her falling into another room. It took a second to realize she was locked in the room with a strange Cryok. He was handsome, but the sharp features of his face and the sinister smirk made her uneasy. Memories had her heart racing and her knees weakening.
No! You won't let that happen again. No one could control her anymore. She was stronger. At first she thought the pounding was from h er heart, but then she heard Ryin yelling on the other side of the door. He was trying to get to her.
She had no clue what he was yelling as she tried her best to back herself as far into the wall as she could.
"You're very pretty. I love that I won't have to wait until we make it to Earth." One hand reached up to pull on a ringlet and the other started from her right side up until his thumb grazed the underside of her breasts. "Tell them you want to stay."
She tried to tell him to forget it, but nothing would come out. It took her a few more times of trying before she
