Excerpt:
“Put me down, Naad!” She wriggled around, but he already had her inside his cave. He entered the code on the security pad to activate the invisible barrier at the mouth of the cave. They could stand at the entrance and look upon the mountainside, but no one could see inside with the seal activated. He explained this to Ally but wasn’t certain if she heard him over her protests.
“Be still, little human.” He carried her to the large bed against the back wall. Additional bedrooms would be carved into the stone once they started a family, but for now the cave consisted of one massive room.
“You can’t do this!” She pounded his back and clawed at his flesh with her nails. He hissed through the pain and tossed her, as gently as possible, onto the bed. She landed with a bounce atop the thick, fur coverings.
“Ally, listen to me. Try to understand. My family dreamed of a future for me. My uncles and father met to decide which one of us, me or one of my male cousins, would procure a female from Earth. It was decided that I was the strongest and most intelligent, and they combined their gold to secure a bride for me with Mail Order Human, and that is how we became betrothed. Your presence on this planet has been anticipated for many moons. My entire family has awaited you, Ally. I have waited for you all these years.” He tried to speak in as gentle a voice as possible. He hated to see her frightened. If she understood the ways of his people, perhaps she might soften toward him and open her heart.
His cock stiffened further when his eyes fell to her bare leg. Her dress had drifted up to her thigh during her tumble onto the bed. Another deep growl emanated from his throat.
“Your father told me you were usually an obedient daughter, a sweet girl. I had thought…” He had thought what? That she would spread her legs willingly? That she would drool over his massive-compared-to-human-male’s physique and fall in love with him?
Well yes, actually, he had thought she would become instantly smitten with him when she stepped off the Starship Matchmaker . Instead, she’d tried to run away. Twice. He supposed he didn’t know much about her culture. Was he going about this the wrong way?
The Protemeian way was to conquer. His people had long been kidnapping and claiming their mates, females from a variety of distant planets. He saw nothing wrong with taking a female. It was for the betterment of his race, the continuation of his people, and it wasn’t as if Protemeian males didn’t treat their brides with kindness. Though rough on the surface, the males of his kind became fiercely attached to their females, protecting them with their lives and putting the needs of their brides and children above all else.
He straddled her on the bed and cupped her face. “I will be gentle, Ally. Do not fear.”
Chapter One
All the muscles in Ally’s body ached as she carried the water jug through the village. The day was overcast and cold. Winter loomed on the horizon, and she shuddered to think how much snow would fall upon the mountain this season.
Last year the heavy snows had resulted in the village being cut off from the valley below. All the roads had become impassable under several feet of snow, and all but one of those same roads had washed out thanks to the rapid melting. At present, there was only one way off the mountain, and the Hanz gang owned the bridge on this particular road and decided who was allowed to pass.
Ally’s family wasn’t allowed to pass. Her father had tried numerous times to bribe the gang for passage off the mountain, but after each attempt he’d come home looking defeated. When Ally asked what the gang demanded in return for safe passage, her father had kept silent. Judging by the various brothels the gang reportedly managed in the village and below the mountain, she had an idea, and she had no wish to endure such a fate. Though there were days when her future seemed bleak,
