“You don’t know? Of course you don’t. I forget how the drugs mask the urge,” she grumbled. “Ahem. Intercourse is when a male inserts his phallus into the female’s vulva to deposit his seed and fertilize her egg.”
I glanced down. “That sounds unpleasant.”
“It can be if the man is inept. But hopefully, you’ll get a good one who makes it enjoyable.”
“What happens if I don’t enjoy it?” From the description, I had my doubts.
“Get pregnant quickly. That will stop them from touching you.”
I’d rather not to be touched at all. “What if I cannot breed as expected?”
“Then you’ll be replaced.”
“By who?”
“Another Marked. Then, depending on certain factors, you might be redeployed to a new male or inseminated artificially.”
“This all sounds very peculiar. Is this what happens to all the Marked?”
“No. Just those designated as breeders.”
“How did you know I’d be a breeder even before seeing my mark?”
“Because we were told you’d be arriving, only you didn’t come in on the transport. The Cabal must have been watching over you for the commander to have arrived in time to rescue you.”
Hardly a rescue. I didn’t admit I’d been hiding. “Do terrorists attack often?”
“Not enough to make a difference. Yet, they keep trying.” She patted my hand. “Don’t worry about them anymore, though. They tend to keep to the tunnels and caves like the rats they are. You’re safe on the surface.”
The comparison to rats sat sourly on my senses. Distraction arrived as the elevator doors slid open onto a flat surface with only the blue sky overhead. We were on top of the structure!
I felt exposed and cold as a brisk wind tugged at me. I wrapped my arms around my upper body.
“Get into the car.” She aimed me at a strange vehicle, much smaller than a transport. Sitting inside, I could look through the glass and see all around. A much better box than the elevator. I didn’t feel as trapped.
The panic hit when it lifted into the air.
