door, it was better than a doorbell. Lianne was wrapped in a towel with another around her hair when she opened her door. Lisa was standing and staring at her guards with wide eyes.
    Lianne grinned and hauled her friend past the men who were there to keep other men away.
    Lisa gasped in scandalized surprise. “What are they doing here?”
    Lianne frowned and hauled her buddy over to the rack. “I have to go to a mixer tonight, and if you find me something to wear, I will tell you all about it.”
    Lisa nodded and started flicking through the dresses and their matching shoe bags. “How weird is it that they are all in your size?”
    “Not that weird. Yesterday was a very weird day.”
    She sat and brushed out her hair while Lisa picked out likely outfits, and she told her the story.
    At one point, Lisa pulled her to her feet and started holding outfits up against her. “And you agreed to this?”
    “Sure. Tell me what choice I had.” Lianne quirked her lips.
    Lisa paused. “Good point. You were busted, and you owned it. Good for you. What is with the hunk squad outside?”
    “Oh, because I have a desired skillset, I get to keep my job instead of being segregated with the other Breeders.”
    Lisa frowned. “Why would you want to?”
    Lianne looked at her and blinked. “Because I like what I do. I am more than just a walking womb.”
    “You spend your days preparing shipments to supply members of the same race that kidnapped and blackmailed us. It isn’t really that great.”
    Lianne stared at her friend. “That is really how you think of it?”
    “Not just your job. My job too. I would make a break for it, but there isn’t anywhere to go.” Lisa smiled. “Here. Try this one.”
    Lianne grabbed the selection and went into her bedroom. She changed into the draped dress with simple lines.
    She heard a voice call out, “Put on that metal belt. If it’s up for display, show it off.”
    Lianne rolled her eyes but belted the silky dress, exaggerating her waist. On the plus side, it kept the wrap of the dress from flapping and exposing her up to the crotch.
    The shoes that went with the dress were a sandal with a low heel. They were comfortable and surprisingly stylish.
    She couldn’t do much with her hair, so she pinned it off her face in a high cascade that tumbled over her shoulders. It was different from the braid she tended to wear on a daily basis.
    Lianne scowled at her reflection before returning to Lisa for a final fussing over.
    Lisa didn’t disappoint. She fussed, finger curled Lianne’s hair and finally stepped back. “You look really good. I hope you have fun.”
    Lianne gave her a wry smile. “I thought I was working for our enslavers.”
    “You are, but so am I. It was the same deal for both of us, and so far, we have kept up our end of the bargain. From what I can see, the Rrassic are doing the same.” Lisa grinned. “No shame in having fun with them. I have dabbled a little myself but not with Hunters. I stick to the service guys. They are far easier to dismiss the morning after. Something tells me a Hunter would be hard to shake.”
    Lianne glanced to the door. “You know they can hear you, right?”
    Lisa’s cheeks flared hot. “Um, no I didn’t know that.”
    “Well, since you are going to walk me out, let’s see if their faces betray what they heard.” Lianne grinned. Lisa had just made it fun for her again.
    She headed to the door and opened it, facing two grinning Hunters. “Lisa, I think they heard you.”
    The muttered cursing made the men grin all the more.

    She wasn’t allowed to walk. She had to sit in one of the small transports with her two bodyguards and let them drive her to her first mixer.
    She cleared her throat. “You know, you freaked Lisa out.”
    The man next to her turned his head. “You did warn her we could hear her. Too late, but you did.”
    “You didn’t have to look at her like she was edible.”
    He grinned. “It was fun.
