The Kordolian shrugged. “You know my methods. It would not have escaped you. You either chose to ignore it, or you chose to go along with it.”

“I have known you for long enough, my friend.” Ikriss’s fangs flashed. His voice cracked. God, he looked tense. “And I know that you are wise enough to leave us right fucking now.”

“Indeed.” The General made a tiny signal with his hands. The medical team immediately snapped to attention and started to retreat.

“He’s as healthy as a prime Szkazajik now, and probably just a little more dangerous,” Zharek informed them as he quickly gathered up various instruments. “No need for any more monitoring whatsoever.”

Ikriss shot him a baleful glare. Fear flickered across Zharek’s face as he hastily made his exit.

The General was the last to leave. He didn’t say a word. He just gave Ikriss and Sienna a knowing look and bowed deeply.

Then he disappeared into the darkness, leaving them alone.

Together.

Again.

Only this time, Ikriss was… different.

Sienna’s feet were glued to the floor. Suddenly, she was apprehensive. She couldn’t move. She felt like a deer trapped in the headlights.

Everything here was utterly alien, especially the man standing before her.

His eyes were downcast. His breathing deepened.

His erection was massive.

At last, he looked up.

She met his brilliant amber gaze.

He walked forward, not saying a word.

Sienna didn’t want to break the silence just yet. She wanted to savor it. It was too ripe; too delicious.

Ikriss reached her. He stood just inches from her, trembling slightly, his wet skin rapidly drying. She sensed the energy in him. He was like a live wire; dangerous, unpredictable.

His entire body thrumming with pent-up desire.

Look at you.

She drank in every last detail with her eyes.

Just fucking look at you.

This is all… mine.

Slowly, tentatively, she reached out and placed her hand over the left side of his chest…

Ba-bump.

And felt his heartbeat.

Ba-bump.

Strong.

Undeniable.
