“I amnotshort,” she protested with a haughty sniff. “I’mstatuesque.”

Yas’kihn chuckled. “You may be tall and well-formed among humans, but you are a dainty morsel to the Ahn’hudin.”

Louella rather thought she’d prefer being called a pretty spark.Morselsounded a little too edible when dealing with these big, reptilian predators.

They stopped. The door to the general superior’s quarters slid open without so much as a hiss.

“I shall summon delivery of a meal,” the general superior announced as he drew her into the room and the door closed behind them.

“All right, thank you,” Louella replied and sat on the corner of the mattress. Away from the medical bay and her new job, she suddenly felt tired. Exhausted, really. She sighed.

“Refresh yourself in the sanitizing chamber,” the general superior suggested. “Our meal will be here when you have finished.”

Louella ran a hand over her scalp, feeling the closely shorn hair. “Yeah, sure. I do feel a bit grimy.”

“I will provide you with a clean shirt.”

She nodded and padded, still barefoot, to the chamber where a warm mist and flashes of red light scoured her hair and skin clean. She emerged with a large drying cloth that wasn’t really like a familiar terry cloth towel wrapped around her.

“Dress and eat,” Yas’kihn said with a gesture toward a tray set upon the small table as he headed toward the sanitizing chamber.

“You’ll need your towel,” Louella realized aloud.

He paused. “Then give it to me.”

She hesitated, unwilling to relinquish the towel and display her naked body to him.

“There is a clean shirt on the bed for you.”

Louella yielded to pragmatism. If he intended to assault her, there was nothing she could do about it. Thus far, he’d been a gentleman, overbearing, but still a gentleman. She turned her back toward him and unwound the towel from her body. Holding it out, she said, “Here. And thank you for letting me use it.”

She gasped when she felt the tip of a claw gently run down her back.

“So soft,” Yas’kihn murmured and traced the line of her spine with his fingertip. “So delicate.”

“Um …” Louella managed to say as a shiver of awareness rippled through her. She found herself turning toward him, guided by the gentle and irresistible pressure of his other hand on her shoulder. She averted her gaze as she felt her nipples tightening.

“Beautiful,” the general superior whispered. “Will you give yourself to me?”

His question startled her. Her gaze snapped up to meet his. “What?”

“I would mate you.”

She sidled from his light grasp. “Um … no. … I can’t.”

She gasped again as his fingertip skimmed a path over her collarbone and down one breast to linger at the dark, pouting tip.

“You are the colors of earth, of fertile soil. I wonder if you are as fecund.”

Louella took another step back to remove herself from his touch, no matter that he had not hurt her. It was more that she could not admit she liked his touch.I do not! There’s no way I can like this big lizard’s touch!

“I wonder if you will take both my cocks.”

Her eyes widened and a whimper escaped her lips.Two cocks? How in the hell … oh, no, that is so not happening!

She ignored the slick moisture gathering between her thighs, pretended her body had no such reaction to the hulking alien.

“I can scent your arousal,” Yas’kihn said, his voice low and gravelly. “Will you give yourself to me asmybride?”
