“The longer you resist,” the darker one said, “the more painful it will become.”

“I accept you,” Jessie sobbed, her hands clutching at his shoulders and upper arms. “Claim me now.”

Scooting to the side of the bed, the lighter male quickly freed his cock then arranged her astride his lap. He positioned himself at her entrance then grasped her hips. With one brutal thrust, he buried his entire length deep inside her body.

Jessie cried out sharply but immediately started bouncing up and down on his lap.

The males let her indulge her lust for a few moments then the lighter one lay back, taking Jessie with him. The darker male moved around behind her. His pants were open, cock now free. He paused long enough to liberally coat his shaft with lube then positioned himself at her back entrance.

Poised to take her, he grabbed a fist full of her hair and pulled her head back. “Now and forever, mate, you belong to us!”

Jessie screamed as her controller plowed into her ass.

Kendra shivered, fighting back a moan. Her body ached for the sort of aggressive possession Jessie was enjoying. Utterly lost in her power’s activation, Jessie surrendered to their grasping hands and forceful thrusts. The scene was savage, inescapably carnal, yet it made Kendra feel oddly envious.

The image gradually faded, freeing Kendra from the vision. Stunned and slightly disoriented, she sat up on the bed. This was the room she shared with Zevon and Arcon. Arcon had been here when she fell asleep but he must have gone back to work. Scooting to the edge of the mattress, she swung her legs over the side.

This vision left her feeling weak and shaky, so she didn’t try to stand up. The conduits were alive. But were they being held against their will or had Verbet and his female friend recruited them? Jessie volunteered to fight for the Torretians, but her claiming had clearly been coerced.

She needed to tell Zevon and Arcon what she’d learned. They both believed that the conduits were dead. She started to stand, but some instinct stopped her and made her sit back down. Zevon had known about the attacks before the shift supervisor notified him. How had he found out?

He had been angry, really angry, when she rushed into the room with Arcon. But the comm interrupted them before Zevon could explain his mood. And then she’d been too upset to think about the specifics.

Did it really matter how he’d found out? One of his spies must have warned him about the attack.

No. That didn’t make sense. The only way a spy could have notified him was if they’d participated in the attack.

She wasn’t sure why this was bothering her, but she couldn’t shake the feeling.

Her legs still wobbled a little as she made her way into the living room.

Arcon looked up from the report he’d been studying and smiled warmly. He sat on the sofa but stood and crossed the room as soon as he saw her. “Feel better?”

She nodded. “Who told Zevon about the attack?” The question burst out before she could stop it. Something wasn’t right here, and she needed to know what. “He clearly knew before the control center contacted him.”

Arcon’s features tensed and he exhaled in a subtle sigh. “Verbet sent him a message filled with mockery and ultimatums. There were also graphic images of what had taken place on the transport. I’ve seen them. They were truly horrific.”

She’d circle back around to all that in a minute. “Does Verbet have a mistress named Domar?”

“You had another vision?” Arcon guessed, brows arching.

She nodded again, unsure how much she needed to get into right now. “The conduits are alive. I only saw Jessie, but Domar mentioned the others. I’m pretty sure they’re all on Torret.”

Reaching across their telepathic link, Arcon asked permission to enter Zevon’s mind.

Is she awake? Zevon asked.

Neither of them was shielding their thoughts from her, so Kendra heard every word.

She is and she has news, Arcon responded. Can the control center get by without you for a while?

I’m on my way.

“He’ll be here shortly.” Arcon reached for her hand.

Kendra stepped back. She wasn’t angry with Arcon. She just wasn’t in the mood to cuddle.

Zevon entered the apartment a few minutes later. “Did you have another vision?” His tone was cautious yet hopeful.
