Movement in her peripheral vision had her snapping her head toward the alien.

Fear spiked within her immediately.

“Please…” She tried to shuffle backward but that was difficult seeing as he’d put her down on a section of uneven vines. “Whatever you’re going to do, don’t do it.”

The alien paused in front of her.

He was huge; his mere presence was overpowering.

She could still remember the feel of him pressed against her too. Her fucking confused mind didn’t know if it should be enraged or happy that someone had been touching her.

It’d been so, so long since she’d felt the touch of another person.

Even in her panic, the feel of his soft velvety skin had been a little…jarring.

Trying to move back a little more, she raised her bound hands. “If you’re going to kill me, just…” she swallowed.

Just what?

Don’t do it?

Well, that goes without saying…

The alien paused over her.

“Whatever you’re saying, I can’t understand you,” he finally said.

Of course, he couldn’t.

She should have expected as much.

It wasn’t like there were ESL teachers on whatever planet this was.

As he crouched in front of her, she eased away from him a little bit more.

“I was sent here to catch you for the Goris,” he continued. “That was the plan, before I realized you were…this.” He motioned to her body, his anger seething.

This what?

The fact he’d gestured to her body only made her warier. His anger didn’t help either.

She hadn’t forgotten what the orc aliens had been suggesting that time long ago.

She knew enough to know what most aliens did with females that were weaker than they were.

She shuddered to think that her fate was either to be in his bed or dead.

“What am I going to do with you?” the alien mused.

“Cut these ropes, let me go…forget we ever met?” She met his gaze but he couldn’t understand her. Not that she thought it would make a difference anyway.

He was her enemy. He wasn’t going to let her go.

Deep inside, a sense of danger was settling. It was a sort of caution that was there before but now she was looking right at the cause of it.

At best, this guy was only a little psychopathic…

At worst…
