asked.
    His lips quirked, and she had a strong sense of dread she couldn’t shake.
    “You’re my prisoner, sub. Why on earth would you get a safe word?” He let go of her chin and stood straight. “Any other punishments you receive will be done at home. I have much better toys there. Here I only have my hand.” He grinned wickedly, and Jack’s heart did a little skip of excitement. “And of course, my dick.”
    “I suggest you keep your dick in your pants unless you want it cut off.”
    Haydrien laughed. He actually laughed. “Oh, yes. I definitely like you better defiant. Get some sleep, Jacquelyn, and don’t worry. I won’t do anything to you that you won’t eventually be begging for.”
    Jack’s first instinct was to stick her tongue out at him. She resisted the urge and watched him leave the room, shutting the door behind him. The lock slid back into place, and she frowned. Had he disabled the interior locking mechanism?
    She got up, fixed her pants, and walked to the door. She waved her hand before the motion sensor to the side and scowled when it beeped, indicating the door wouldn’t open.
    She hit it with her palm, then winced at the sting of flesh meeting cold steel. “You damn prick,” she shouted.
    Silence was the only response.
    Had he been serious? Or had he just been trying to scare her? She had no idea. Normally she could read people pretty well, but this guy she couldn’t read at all.
    She didn’t doubt what he’d said was true. If he’d kept spanking her tonight, she might’ve had an orgasm. She liked being spanked, but there was a big difference between being spanked by a Dom she knew would stop with a safe word and one who would never stop no matter what she said.
    But he had stopped when she’d told him she was dizzy. Had that been a fluke? Or was his threat just bluster? Jack turned and leaned her back against the cool metal of the door. Should she push him? Or should she play it safe and never do anything to make him angry?
    She cringed, realizing she was never one to play it safe. She knew her personality. She knew she would never be able to keep her mouth shut.
    “Oh, God. I’m in so much trouble.”

Chapter Six
    Jack hadn’t slept. She sat in the chair, watching out the window as the ship moved into an orbit pattern around Meenose’s moon. Would he offload the ship in space, or would he land it on the planet? And why did Meenose seem so familiar to her? She knew that name from somewhere; she just couldn’t seem to remember.
    Shivering from cold, she wrapped her jacket tighter around her chest. It felt as though Haydrien had lowered the environmental controls, or maybe it was just her nerves more than anything.
    As she watched, the ship worked its way around the moon and then headed toward the planet itself. So much for her question on landing. Looked like he was going to land first, then offload.
    She frowned and pushed upright. Did he know to compensate for the weight of the cargo during his descent? If he didn’t, the angle would be wrong, and the load would shift.
    She stood and walked to the door. Was it still locked? She tried again to wave her hand before the motion sensor. It gave two quick beeps in response, and she sighed. Still locked in.
    With her hands on her hips, she studied the panel. Could she do what he had and unlock the door from inside the panel? She’d never tried, but surely she could figure it out.
    She popped the cover off and began to move wires around. With each failure, she became more and more frustrated. She had to get out of this room. She would go nuts if she didn’t.
    Finally, she found the right wire, and the door slid open. She breathed a sigh of relief and headed quickly down the hall. The doors to the bridge opened, and she stepped inside.
    “Good morning, sub,” Haydrien said without turning around.
    “You’re not going to berate me for leaving my room?” she asked as she moved forward.
    Haydrien was in the seat to the left. Lear
