Enslaved by aliens on a distant world, to save the man she loves Cora Daniels must surrender the control she’s worked for all her life.
After the shriek of the alarm and the shrill whine of Freedom’s engine, Cora remembered little. She’d managed to pilot her spaceship to safety—or at least she’d managed to survive. She was on a tropical alien planet…and the prisoner of the Flock: a strange race of birdlike humanoids. They intended her to mate. To breed. To be part of a herd.
She was to be provided a man—a powerful, virile man from first glance. And not just any man. Alexander. Was this her lost love, who so long ago had disappeared into deep space? Here he was: naked, glistening, a pit-fighter. How could the brilliant doctor, the tender lover she recalled, have become this animal born to dominate and destroy? And was he a pawn of the Flock, or would their flight to freedom be a long-sought reunion? Only time would tell.
From the wreckage of the past rose a brighter hope for Cora’s future.
Excerpt
After Matron left, Cora stood on a well-padded floor of an octagonal room about ten feet across. The walls and ceiling were made of panels of a material that reflected her naked image back at her from all angles. Each panel showed her reflection, but the panels did not mirror each other. The effect was dizzying and disturbing. But it was the feeling of being watched that made her skin crawl.
She walked over to the wall and studied her reflection. Tall and well proportioned she wasn’t ashamed of her body, just not used to parading around naked. Her breasts stood high and proud, her waist was narrow, her hips rounded but not fat. Her nipples were taut with expectation, but of what she wasn’t sure she wanted to know.
Her hair lay soft and damp against her shoulders. Her skin looked and felt smooth and a bit slick from the residue of cream Matron had rubbed on her. She shivered in remembered pleasure. Her nipples grew tighter and moisture slicked the sensitive skin of her inner lips. She squeezed her knees together, but it didn’t stop the growing ache of emptiness.
Whatever was in that cream had heightened her physical responses and she didn’t want to like it. For the last six years sex hadn’t been an issue in her life.
Forbidden memories flared to life in her mind. Alexander had enjoyed her body, as she enjoyed his, but their time together had been too brief and the cost too high. After he died during a deep space exploratory mission, she’d shut down her libido, closed off her heart and devoted herself to her career. Her colleagues, both male and female, wouldn’t believe the sight of her own naked body could turn her on. She barely believed it herself.
What a time to get horny? For all she knew she could be about to be fed to whatever passed for lions on this planet for the amusement of the Flock. But somehow she doubted what they had in mind for her would be that easy. The soft lighting and the padded flooring, along with the sexually stimulating bath and massage warned her about what was coming.
Heaven only knew what kind of creature they intended to mate her with. Against her will the image of the man she’d seen earlier in the compound, popped into her mind. Her belly tightened. She tried to summon her anger. Even fear would work. Instead all she felt was anticipation.
She paced the perimeter of the room, her need for release growing with every step, with every movement. Her genitals felt swollen and hot, her breasts heavy. The drug companies on Earth would pay dearly for whatever the hell the Flock had used on her. Only the sense that she was being watched kept her from touching herself and relieving the increasing ache.
What did it matter? At this rate, as long as it had a hard dick, she’d ravage whatever abomination entered the room. Her reason was melting away beneath wave after wave of need.
She sank to her knees in the middle of the floor and clasped her hands over her bent head. “What are you doing to me?” she shouted.
A subtle snick of sound and the enticing aroma of warm male flesh told her she was no longer alone.
The fear that wouldn’t come to her aid before blossomed in her. She knew she should look up, should brace herself for an attack, but she couldn’t make herself move. When she found herself quaking like an untried virgin anger pushed out the fear.
She sprang up and turned to face whatever the Flock had sent her.
Shock held her rigid.
It wasn’t his obvious human form. His rugged good looks. The many scars that marred his muscular bronze body.
The fact that he was the man she’d seen in the compound. Or even his impressive male equipment unhampered by any scrap of clothing.
Her gaze riveted on his face – his familiar, beloved face.
“Alexander,” she whispered before for the first time in her life she fainted.
