"D?" "Yes, baby." I lowered my gaze to the floor. "I... I'm turned on. I... I don't know if I'll be able to sleep like this." He hummed softly. "What would you want me to do?" I stared at him. I didn't know what to say. He took a step forward. "Amoya, tell me what you want." I gulped. He gripped my chin, forcing my eyes to his. He brushed his lips against mine, teasing me. "Umm, I-I," the words got stuck in my throat. He titled my head, and placed his lips to my ear. "Do you want me to make you come?" My movements stilled. Between my legs clenched. My mouth opened, but no words came out. He smirked, slow and deliberate. "I'll take that as a yes." ______________________________________ He was dangerous. Too dangerous for a girl like me. I grew up sheltered, protected by rules and curfews, watched by strict and dangerous parents who believed love was a distraction, boys were trouble and power and control was everything.

Every warning turned to a whisper I no longer cared to hear. Because I'd already fallen for him. This man - in a cruel twist of fate - was my father's rival. And he was forbidden.

They came to Earth. A dying race with one solution... Human females. Compatible with our DNA. The only hope for their survival. Earth's leaders refused... and started a war that shattered the planet. Twelve years later, the last unmated females are still being hunted by the men who were supposed to protect them, and by the silver-skinned aliens who never left. I survived by staying invisible, by fighting, by refusing to break. But the Valtherian who tracked me for the last two years was done waiting. And when he finally claims me, I'll have to decide if the monster who watched me from the shadows... is the only one who can save me.
