the stench I smell a hint of something wonderful. Heat swirls around in my belly. I shake it off. I don’t have time for this. Pressing my lips together, I wait for my brother to explain why he’s here bothering me. Riflan’s gaze flits to the female and then back to me. “She’s yours.” My hands curl into fists. When my brother looks at them I quick relax my hands. “No, she’s not. I’ve never seen her before. Go ask Klimen if he’s lost another female.” If that’s the case, I’m going to hurt Klimen later for wasting my time. The guy needs to settle down. I’ve never seen such a pussy chasing dagrinian in all my life. Riflan snorts and shakes his head. “You need to leave your lab more often, little brother. Klimen likes his females cleaner than this one.” His gaze cuts to the female and looks her up and down before returning to me. “I think she’ll be suitable when she’s cleaned up.” Crossing my arms over my chest, I keep my eyes trained on my brother. The little female makes me feel funny. I don’t like funny. “I only left the ship once and that was to get some trylaam chips for my lab. I did not buy a female.” A smirk crosses my brother’s face. I long to slap it off but that would only scare the trembling female by his side even more. The last thing I want is for her to start screaming. I hate screaming. I can’t think when people are screaming. Riflan makes that ticking sound I dislike and then smirks again. “From what I heard, you did more than buy some trylaam chips.” The need to get back to work starts riding me hard. “I don’t know what you are talking about, but I do know that she is not mine and that I have to get back to my lab.” I turn to go back to work. Riflan annoyingly enters my living quarters with the female. I whip around and snarl at my brother. The female whimpers causing me to instantly regret my actions. I look at her with what I hope are apologetic eyes. Heat rolls around in my chest. I don’t like it. “Since your memory is hurting today, I’ll help you out.” Riflan’s silence has me looking into his knowing eyes. Rizpa nin! I feel like I’ve just been caught rubbing my cock in public. I don’t like this female at all. She is trouble. “Now that I have your attention, let me ask you a question. Did you save a morping female from choking to death when you went to buy the trylaam chips?” I don’t like the look in my brother’s eyes. My stomach sours. “Yes, I did stop a morping female from chocking, but I don’t know for certain she would have died if I hadn’t helped her out. It wasn’t that big of a deal.” To a morping it may have been. My sour stomach starts burning. I dread the next words sure to come from my brother’s smirking mouth. “That morping’s father thought it was a big deal. Big enough that he needed to pay the debt he felt he owed you.” Riflan glances at the trembling female and then back at me. “She is now yours to do with as you please. I suggest cleaning her up and turning her into a sexual servant. You don’t get laid near enough.” With that said my brother pushes the female toward me and turns to leave. “Wait. I don’t need a bed partner. You take her.” I can’t have her in my quarters. She’ll distract me. I’m sure of it. Riflan snorts and then looks over his shoulder. “I’ve already got a female. There is no way in black stars I’m making her mad at me. This one is yours. Use her well, little brother. But before you do you need to get ready for takeoff. We are leaving this stink-hole of a planet as soon as the engines are warmed up.” Before I can protest anymore, Riflan leaves my quarters and the door closes with a thud of doom. My shoulders sag in defeat. One good deed and now I’m stuck with a female that does strange things to me. I don’t like it. “Rizpa nin.” I don’t need this. I’m never doing another good deed. Ever. I turn to the trembling female and stare
