ankou will guard my brother to ensure his& safety as w ell as my own. The
message
rang patently clear; his brother was a suspected assassin. Sherem, Dakar, and
Bran
agreed that it was the safest route for the time being for they believed a
spy or several
could be on board and would hesitate to harm either Sherem or Dakar if his
whereabouts
could be proven at all times. Further, it would give his brother, when
disguised, th e
freedom to roam while Bran guarded him. Enough of the crew had witnessed
Bran s
ability to cloak himself, to ensure no one would approach Dakar s panel, even
if the
passageway appeared deserted. Dismissed, Sherem ordered and rose to leave
the
planning room but at a s ubtle signal from his captain , he hung back. What
is on your
mind, Jorge?
You are, Sherem. Who will be watching your back while the beas, uh, the
ankou
is watching your brother?
I am perfectly capable of watching my own back, however, I do expect you to

be
doubly vigilant and keep your eyes attuned to anything that does not appear
quite right.
My instincts tell me that this will be a very inte resting journey;
complicated further by
the presence of the princesses Nadia and Tula, who must also be protected.
Be sure to
warn the men that 'protect' does not extend to touch, in the case of Princess
Nadia, for I
would hate to have to kill any of my own warriors over a messy and unwise
attraction.
Do we understand each other, my friend?
Yes, though I can barely contain my amusement. I have never seen you like
this
over a female, Jorge answered then strode out of the room whistling.
Sherem groaned and realized it was becoming one of his most frequent
expressions.

What are you doing here? Leave my quarters at once. I may have to tolerate
your presence on this ship but I will not do the same in my private rooms,
Nadia
pronounced scathingly. Though stil l suffering the lethargy left behi nd by
the tranq, she
ranted at the audacity of her rival. Why did she have to be a princess on t
op of it all?
She had serviced Sherem for who knew how long and was obviously not goin g to

relinquish him easily. Nadia s greatest fear, however, she concealed deep
in her soul.
What if Tula could conceive while she, almost certainly, could not? The
deadly
infertility virus that had been infused into the air over Gattonia, for the
purpose of
annihilating their race, had work ed on her as well as most of the other
females within
Gattonia. Since reaching her maturity, she had declined the test that would
confirm her
fertility, or lack thereof, and simply counted herself lucky there were no
outward signs of
the virus effects, unlike many other females. It was the same catastrophe
that brought
Catarina into their lives. The influx of earth women bolstered their race,
and ensured its
survival, but at what cost? It was ironic that one of the best things that
happened to their
family began and remained as the worst. Nadia studied the Princess of
Jasper.
Tula magnified every shortcoming Nadia possessed . She was graceful,
delicate,
even-featured, had porcelain white skin that reminded her of the soft petals

of an orchid,
and was so very, very tiny in stature. She had hair the color of Sherem s
that contrasted
beautifully with piercing deep violet eyes that warily watched Nadia as
thoroughly as
Nadia regarded her. Nadia wondered what she saw; a gangly giant with
pronounced
features and unrelenting amber from head to foot? She inwardly grinned. One
step from
her bare foot would probably squish the perfect little thing to death. A pity
she wasn t
the violent type.
What I have to impart could be of great benefit to us both, if you will
please give
me a moment, Tula stated no dding toward the lounger that Nadia had risen
from
abruptly when Tula had invaded her room.
Nadia, believing height her only advantage, stood her ground with tilted head
and
a quirked eyebrow, waiting. Tula si ghed. Very well, I will sit while you
continue to
loom over me. You are a very obstinate female, not at all as you have been
described,
she observed as she floated across the room, descended upon the soft
upholstered
lounger, and tucked her dainty feet beneath her. Tula stared directly into
Nadia s eyes
and announced, I do not want Sherem as my mate. In truth, I no longer hold
the place as
pleasurer nor will I miss it. We were never intimate, in fact.
Nadia snorted and crossed her arms over her chest.
Tula sighed delicately. The exercise that you witnessed between us had no
more
import than any other relaxation method of massage. It is simply our way of
giving
service to those in need of comfort, and totally non-sexual in nature.

Nadia glared, unseeing, at the blatant lie. Did the female think she was
totally
ignorant in the ways of males and females? If the unlimited information
provided by the
vidcoms proved insufficient, the graphic descriptions depicted in the steady
stream of
earth romance novels she devoured on a regular basis left nothing to the
imagination.
Think you I have no knowledge of oral sex and where it leads? Yet another
misconception, no doubt. A blow job definitely fits into the category of
intimacy with a
capitol S-E-X.
Our culture is infinitely more advanced than yours, as is our understanding
