“Answer me!” Kitos demands.

“I-I understand,” I nod desperately, my voice a lot softer and less confident than I’d have liked it to sound.

Fuck. I wasn’t expecting the second-in-command of this triad to be quite so aggressive and self-certain. This isn’t going to be as easy as I’d imagined…

…or hoped.

Seeing my expression, Kitos nods. Then, he shuts the door behind him with a press of the button.

I shudder as I’m left alone. Yes – this Aurelian triad will be harder to tempt than I’d expected.

I take a deep breath in.

I’ve faced challenges before. They’re what keep life interesting.

My life has been interesting enough, thank you very much!

But Iamgoing to make this alien commander lose his mind. I’m going to turn himandhis battle-brothers into rutting beasts – desperate to take me, and willing to throw awayeverythingthey stand for and have achieved for a moment of pleasure.

Iwillseduce these beasts...

…because my freedom depends on it.
