made her look at him and she couldn’t miss the hard bulge which stretched the skimpy cloth around his loins. Whirling, he rummaged through a hole that opened in the wall at his barked command. Without looking, he flung a wadded up bundle at her.
“Put it on.”
“It” turned out to be a long cloak that covered her head to toe. She found it odd. After all, he’d given her the 117
Intentional Abduction – Eve Langlais damned outfit to wear and now apparently he didn’t want her to be seen in it. It didn’t matter to her one way or another.
Their excursion off the ship meant she’d soon plan her escape, before any brothel that bought her thought they could put her to work.
But it seemed their preparations weren’t done. He approached her gripping something, and when she saw what he held, she did fight, calling him every vile name she could think of, but in the end, his greater strength won—but not without her giving him some blows that would bruise up nicely. He led her from the room holding the leash that snapped onto the neck of a collar he’d placed on her.
As she stood stiffly beside him as they waited for the docking bay door to open, she ignored his softly murmured,
“I’m sorry for the leash and collar. Trust me when I say it’s for the best and will keep you safe where we are going.”
“So would a knife,” she snapped.
“If I give you one, will you promise not to use it on me?”
His clear eyes met hers, and she hated the way she still melted under his gaze after his treatment and humiliation.
“I’ll carve you with my own fingernails if I get a chance.” Instead of rebuking her, the jerk laughed then yanked her off ship like some fancy pet on a leash while she mentally detailed the ways she’d kill him.

Intentional Abduction – Eve Langlais Chapter Eleven
Jaro probably deserved some of the choice names she muttered under her breath as he let her trail behind him. The outfit she wore , the only feminine garment he could locate onboard, almost ended up shredded when he saw how lusciously it outlined her body. As opposed to covering her bountiful curves, it served to enhance them, hence the cloak to cover her until he could get her to the shops to purchase new outfits. It was that or fight off every male who got a look at her.
The leash, well, he’d only partially told the truth about its purpose. Yes, collared slaves tended to not get harassed—
as much—however, his purpose lay more in making sure she didn’t escape him—that and he perversely enjoyed the idea of having her under his control. But he’d known as soon as he pulled it out that he wouldn’t get it around her neck without a fight. So much for getting her to like me.
Seduction and flowery words, such as his cousins used, didn’t come easy to him. Females usually saw his prowess and threw themselves at his feet. Well, more like on top of his cock. Simple. He’d never before needed to make one like him. He wasn’t even sure it was possible. I am who I am; warrior, mercenary, and, if required, assassin. I don’t know how to 120
Intentional Abduction – Eve Langlais step into the role of lover. And the more time he spent with Aylia, the more he wished he knew how. Maybe I should ask Tren.
Once upon a time, he used to be as uncouth as I, yet, he stil managed to get his female to love him. Perhaps his brother found a magical potion that made her ignore all his numerous flaws? He’d have paid a large sum of credits to get his hands on such a cure.
Although, mayhap if she liked him and didn’t constantly test his patience, he wouldn’t find himself with the overwhelming need to possess her. Could the challenge she posed form the root of his unnatural attraction to her? If she stopped fighting him, would he lose interest?
Peering back over his shoulder into her scowling countenance—adorable even though her eyes shot daggers at him—he somehow doubted it. His
