Excerpt
Xrez hadn’tintended for the female to see him. Not yet anyway. But after the mother andchildren left, he stepped from the cover of the trees and onto the bank of theriver.
She talkedunder her breath about boyfriends and dating as she laid her clothes out todry.
Boyfriend. A male friend. Boyfriend. A regularmale companion whom one has a romantic or sexual relationship with. Boyfriend.An item of clothing for a woman or girl that is designed to be loose fitting oroversized.
Dating. When two people spend time with oneanother. Dating. To establish the date of an object or event. Dating. Toindicate or expose as being old-fashioned.
Xrezfrowned. The intelligence file he’d read on humans had warned their speech wasriddled with nuances often hard to decipher. He’d found this true. He couldn’tunderstand most of what was talked about as he’d followed the group. Now he wasconfused yet again as she spoke about, “All the things I’m going to do when Iget home.”
She wentback into the water, deeper than she’d been before and dipped her head back.She hummed as she ran her fingers through her hair. He watched her for a whileas she used her fingers to work out the kinks there. Then, as if in slowmotion, she straightened. He knew the moment her eyes caught sight of him,panic and fear crossed her features. His female inhaled sharply.
His?
When had hebegun referring to her as his? When I startedspilling my seed like a youngling every time I think of her.
“I’m not here to harm you,” he said before shecould bolt, hoping she didn’t try to run. And if she did...
The thoughtof chasing her down stirred within him. His blood spiked with adrenalin.
Hispredatory nature was already in hyperdrive. He hadn’t stalked and hunted in solong that his body thrummed with excitement. He felt more alive than he had ina long time. He now understood why hunters came from all across the galaxy toparticipate in the games and why they hunted for mates and companions. Xrezlonged to have his needs sated. And he wanted her small, supple and soft bodyunder him.
A soundescaped from deep in his throat.
