hard enough to deal with. His cock was in a constant state of arousal. His thoughts strayed to her wild cries while lovemaking, to her breathless pants and sweet floral-musk smell. He couldn't focus on anything but her for any length of time.
    Set bumped his arm and leaned over to whisper "While it’s nice to know you love your Amat, could you keep your thoughts at least minimally on the job at hand?" He grinned as he continued, "You're breaking my concentration; I can only imagine what its doing to yours." His gaze went pointedly to the obvious erection that Urlon could not convince to subside.
    Although Set had been teasing, the reality of it from Urlon's point of view was beyond frustrating. He was literally unable to dispel his arousal. Apparently there were a lot of things about existing as a p'or on land that Grandfather had neglected to share with them.
    His musings were interrupted when the distinctive sound of car wheels on gravel was heard, heralding the approach of their enemies. It was still early morning; perhaps one of the kidnappers had decided to check up on their captive. They waited until the front door opened before sprinting after whoever had entered the building. Set managed to get his foot in the door before it closed completely, and he and Urlon slipped silently through. The person walking ahead of them was a woman, and she appeared to be heading for the room where Set had been held. She opened the door, and they could hear her gasp of surprise when she discovered Set missing.
    Urlon directed Set to go beyond the opening of the door so they would have her cornered when she came out of the room.
    I don't want her hurt, Urlon. The only clear thing I can remember from my captivity is her attempt to help me. Perhaps she is an unwilling participant in whatever it is they are attempting to do here. Set's mindspeak was tinged with his feelings for the woman, and Urlon wondered if Set even realized he had begun to bond with this woman.
    As she exited the room, Urlon moved behind her and grasped her around the chest while Set approached her from the front and placed his hands on her head, pushing past her natural shielding and whispering a suggestion to sleep. Urlon grasped her around the hips and swung her over his shoulder as her body became a dead weight. This woman would provide them with the answers they needed. There was no need to wait around for the rest of the kidnappers to arrive. He and Set walked quickly to the door. Urlon keyed in the numbers as Megan had shown him, and waited until the light on the security system blinked green before pushing open the door.
    The first thing Urlon felt upon exiting the building was Megan's fear and anticipation as the front door opened. Until Set followed behind Urlon, she hadn't realized who was coming out the door. He couldn't believe that she had disobeyed him again after he had explained why he wanted her to go to town. Before he had a chance to berate her in mindspeak, she left the cover of the rock wall and ran toward them.
    "I was able to find one of your tribebrothers, a man named Uber. He is going to find your grandfather and as many others as he can." Megan's voice was shaky with leftover adrenaline, and she continued without pausing for breath, "Perhaps you should try to contact him and tell him to have everyone meet at my cottage?" She was talking very quickly, and Urlon realized she was trying to avoid being chastised for her foolish behavior. He decided to let it go for now, and concentrated on hefting the woman up the hill. They would have to travel overland instead of by the road. During the day the road was well-used, and he didn't want to have to explain himself to any of the locals.
    They walked in silence for a long while before Megan tentatively looked at Urlon as he handed off the woman to Set after climbing one of an endless series of rock walls.
    "Who is she?" There was a touch of jealousy in her voice.
    "Apparently, she is the woman who
