Ahhu showed them into a new exam room. Ariel watched the woman walk to what
looked like a computer. Ral shut the door firmly behind them, closing the three of them
in the room. Ral spoke to the woman as she worked in front of the console. Finally
Ahhu turned to face them.
 Can you understand me now? Her eyes went to Ariel.
Joy filled her.  Yes!
Ral chuckled.  We can understand you too. I ve missed your words. He grinned
down at her.
 This is a program of the ear device we took off you, Ahhu explained.  The conis is
running it for us. We haven t worked it out fully so we don t have a new implant to
give either of you yet but in here you can talk.
Ral s eyes jerked from Ariel s and glared at the woman.  Damn it, Ahhu. We need
to be able to understand each other at all times. It has caused us problems.
 I can copy the program so it can be run in your home in a room to communicate. It
is tricky to try to implement a foreign program into our implant translators. It won t
read it. The only reason it works on the conis is because it can run most any program.
 Conis? Ariel said softly.

Ahhu pointed to the computer device. Ariel nodded.
 Got it. She eyed Ral.  Do you have a conis at home? I don t remember seeing
one.
 I can get one. He eyed Ahhu.  Leave us please. Get me a copy of that program.
Tell Abroo I need a conis immediately to take home with us.
Ahhu hesitated.  While you are here I need to run more tests.
 No, Ral snarled.
 Your father has ordered them, Ral. He is concerned greatly.
Ral snarled again. There was no translation but it came across as  I m really pissed
off to Ariel.  He needs not concern himself.
 He is very concerned. Let me run the tests. It will set his mind at ease. He s
ordered the other-world species from our planet, Argis Ral. He will order her gone as
well. Let me run the tests to prove to him that she is no danger to your health and well-
being.
Rage hit Ral s face.  He s ordered our men to give up their off-world bound
women?
Ahhu hesitated.  None of them bound to those women, Ral. Only you bound one to
you. They just shared sex. The other males were easily willing to give up those women.
They are working to find their planets to return them to their worlds.
 I will not give her up. If he orders her off our world then I will go live on her
planet. Leave us. He paused.  What tests do you need to do now? I won t allow her to
be pained in any way.
Ahhu walked to cabinets along one wall. She removed a few things before walking
to a table. She eyed Ral.  Your father has demanded I make sure she doesn t have
sexual control over you. I need her sex fluids to test to make sure they aren t working as
a drug into your system. I will also need sex fluids from you to test to see if her fluids
cause a reaction in your own body.

Ral growled.  Fine.
 You can t mix the fluids. Will this be a problem? Ahhu eyed Ariel.  Does she
have fluids?
 Yes. Get out. I ll take care of the testing. Lock the door on your way out.
Ahhu nodded and left the room. It locked with a loud click from the other side. Ral
sighed as he turned around, his full attention was on Ariel.

Chapter Eight
 Why did you try to leave my home? What have I done to anger you?
Ariel crossed her arms over her chest as she eyed him back.  I don t share. I thought
bound meant loyalty. As in you wouldn t fuck other women. I will leave, Ral. If you
touch that woman I m so gone.
He cocked his head.  I see.
 You see? That s all you have to say? Let me tell you something, Ral. I m human.
You re Zorn. I know there are some differences, but I won t be with a man who has sex
with other women. It won t happen. If you want to fuck that bitch& that woman& you
go right ahead but you won t be touching me anymore.
 This wasn t an issue while we were prisoners. Women were rare. On my world it
is acceptable for a male to have sex with different women. I did not invite her to our
home. My father gave her to me. He wants me bound with her instead. I told her I
wasn t interested. I did not wish to have her, Ariel.
 You let her back in after you kicked her out. She took off her damn dress and you
didn t make her put it back on.
 Some of my kind goes naked in home. It is not an uncommon or unheard of
thing.
 She goes or I do, Ral. It s that damn simple. I m really hurt that you d even
consider it. She moved away from him to stare out the window.  You really have hurt
me inside. How would you feel if I had sex with another man?
Ral snarled. In seconds he was touching her as he gripped her arms to spin her
around to face him.  I would kill.

 That s how I feel, damn you. Do you know the rage that you re feeling right now
when you think about another man touching me? I feel the same rage when I think
about you with other women.
 Our culture is different but I understand. His eyes softened.  I promise you no
other women. I didn t mean to harm you, Ariel. I meant no hurt to you. I don t want
her. I told her no. You are the one I want in my bed. I just didn t think you would find it
offensive that she was naked. Now I know. No more unclothed females in our home.
Ariel stared up at him.  Did you want to have sex with her?
He didn t look away. His eyes were locked with Ariel s eyes.  I did not. I told her
no. I meant no. You are who makes me hard, Ariel. You are different from women of
my world and I am addicted to those differences. To touch another woman but you
would be&  He hesitated.  Not worth my time or an interest of mine. Was that clear
for you to understand? You are the only female I want to touch.
 She goes.
He hesitated.  She was given to me. If I kick her out she will be without a home.
She will starve or be harmed without protection. It would be cruel.
 Then give her to someone else. I don t want her with us.
He caressed her cheek.  I will give her to someone else. Good plan. We do need
house help but I will find a very old female to live in another room from us to do the
home work. Then there will be no doubt that I do not want to have sex with her and
older females do not walk around naked. They get too cold.
 You didn t have help before.
His smile died.  I did. I got rid of my home help before I took you home.
Ariel eyed him. He looked away and then let his eyes drop to her again. He looked
slightly embarrassed.  I had two females that shared my bed. I do not want to make
you angry or hurt but I was unbound before you. I have a strong sex drive. I knew there
would be trouble if I didn t give them to one of my brothers. They wouldn t have been

happy when I kicked them out of my bed to share it with you. I had no intention of
having sex with others once I bound to you, Ariel. You have ruined me for other
women.
She smiled.  Good. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
