“I was going to show you how to adjust the pressure.”
“Great.” Anna shivered and shook her head. She felt utterly miserable. “Um. Do you have a towel?”
“May I turn around now?” he asked in a mocking tone.
“Can I please just have a towel?”
He turned around anyway, fixing her with a twinkling, mischievous look. “I will give you something better, love.” He sauntered over to her.
“I’m not bumping uglies with you.” Anna looked up at him with her most withering expression. She was simplydone. “Unless it involves food and a dry towel, I’m not interested.”
“I promise it will be so good, you’ll be begging for more.”
Damn it. “There is absolutely nothing you can do or say right now that will make me want to have sex with you.”
“Pity.” He took a long, lingering look up and down her body. His gaze was appreciative, and Trakwasa very attractive male. She felt the faintest of stirrings in her body. The stiffening of her nipples and the whisper of a tingling in her pussy were enough of an indicator that shecouldbe attracted to him. It was a good thing, because her whole purpose in being there was to have sex with him and provide a much-needed—and treasured, apparently—offspring. Anna, herself, had no faith in her own abilities to parent. It wasn’t as if she’d had any decent examples to follow.
He held up a finger and crossed to the giant tub. He pressed a few buttons and it instantly filled with a bubbling substance that gave off a warm, soothing scent. He held out his hands in a flourish.
“You…you poured me a bath?” she asked, suspicious.
“Yes. It’s clear we won’t be—what was that term?—bumping ugliesin the immediate future, but I thought you’d enjoy this after your long ordeal. This substance has healing properties, so it will help sooth your injuries.”
“That was thoughtful—”
“—And it might put you in the mood to—”
“Do not say ‘bumping uglies’ again.” She rolled her eyes. “Do you think aboutanything else?”
“It’s difficult to around you.” He raised that eyebrow again. “You’re very beautiful. And you intrigue me.”
Anna couldn’t help the blush that warmed her cheeks or deny that the bath looked like heaven. She moved forward and accepted his hand as she stepped over the edge and sank into a warm, slightly thick substance. The bottom of the tub was lit with a blue light that was immediately relaxing.
Despite the fact that she was far from home, stuck in a space station with a horny alien dude whom she was contractually obligated to have sex with, she closed her eyes and rested her head against the back of the tub.
Something blunt and rounded bumped insistently against her closed lips. Her eyes flew open, afraid of what she’d see—expecting a Virilian with a hard-on looming over her, but instead, the thing at her mouth was attached to a two-pronged fork and it smelled a bit like butter.
“I do say, you have a dirty, dirty mind,” the alien drawled. “Now open up.”
“What is this?” she asked.
“You said you were hungry.” He tapped the thing on the fork against her lips again. “I brought you food. I do not have a living horse, but hopefully this will do.”
Shewashungry. Salivating, she opened her mouth and he slid the fork inside. Whatever it was, it tasted warm and buttery and meaty and she immediately looked for another bite.
“Ah, that’s how I like my females,” he said, feeding her more. “Hungry and eager for more.”
“Don’t take it personally,” she said around chews. “I haven’t eaten in days.”
“I’ll take it any way you give it, love.”
She ignored the cheesy line. She had a feeling she’d have to get used to them while she was here. “Why do you speak British?”
“I speak English, love. I don’t have a choice in how it comes out. It’s all in the chip.”
“The chip?”
He turned and showed her the small metal plate behind his ear. He popped out the chip and showed it to her. It was the size of a dime and smooth silver. When he spoke to her then, the words were foreign and lilting. She gazed blankly at him and he laughed,revealing longer, sharp eyeteeth. She hadn’t seen those before. Hopefully he didn’t expect any biting during their inevitable sexual encounters.
