Alien's Bride Book Two Read online

  I swallowed. “I love you, too. I’m grateful I got a wonderful husband like you instead of someone like Lord Nayjoor.”

  He laughed and hugged me again. “We’re a perfect match.”

  I headed back to Inga and Elentinus made a fast stride back toward the far end of the lobby.

  I’m a very obedient wife. No doubt about that. Elentinus was worthy of my obedience. Being obedient was part of the deal here, even though my husband was usually too nice to assert his authority.

  But…

  I said, ‘Yes, husband,’ out of instinct, not because I was actually going to give up on this poor suffering girl. Father knows best when it comes to Dak-Hiliah stuff. Dealing with human girls fell squarely into my territory. She wasn’t leaving here with her life as broken as I found it. I may not fix everything, but by God, nothing would stop me from trying.

  I went back to the couch and sat beside her. Inga took my hand.

  “What did he say? Let me guess—he didn’t like you disabling my shock collar.”

  I felt stricken. “No. He’s not like that.” I took a deep breath. “He said he was trying to convince Nayjoor not to be such a jerk to you and he wasn’t listening.”

  Inga scoffed. “Of course not. So what?”

  “So I’m planning on talking to Nayjoor the first chance I get.”

  “What do you think that’s going to do? I don’t mean to be insulting, but are you fucking stupid? He’s not going to change. Even if he says he’ll change it will all be bullshit when we get home. Especially with that asshole Rolf-Tem. The first thing he’s going to do is get a new control unit. He’s going to hold the fucking shock button down until his thumb falls off. That’s what I have to look forward to.” She shook her head and her lips started quivering again. “God! It makes me want to die.”

  My shoulders ached. I was starting to feel too dejected to be comforting. “I have an asshole servant here, too. That Hor-Denay. Now that I’ve heard about your guy I’m grateful for him. He doesn’t shock me. He’s threatened a few times, but never actually done it. He slapped me once, though.”

  She rolled her eyes. “Pah! I would celebrate a slap.”

  Now we were officially out of things to say. I looked at Kang. “Can you bring us two of those peanut butter milk drinks? I forgot what you called them.”

  “Of course, mistress. I know what you’re referring to.”

  “I don’t want anything to drink,” Inga said. “Just fuck off.” She gestured for him to go away.

  I petted Kang. “Aw, be nice to him. This is my personal Domestic, Kang.”

  “Yeah, they’re great, for some things. They don’t protect you, though. Anyway, make it fuck off. I only want you around me right now.”

  I tipped my chin at Kang. He rolled away.

  Inga sat up stiffly as she watched it go. She grabbed my sleeve with a white knuckle fist and pulled me close to her. She whispered loudly into my ear.

  “Maritza, I know they talked to you. They said you can help me escape.”

  My heart began thudding in my chest.

  “They got his first wife Sasha out of here. They’re ready to get me free, too. You need to find Elentinus’ control unit for your collar. Any control unit can be set to work on any collar. You can switch mine off. They have a pod that’s too small to be picked up by the wave sensors. It’s attached to the ship next to the waste disposal unit. Once I have the collar off they can move the pod to form a seal with the waste disposal hatch. I can crawl down through the hatch onto the pod. It will take me to Earth. From there, they have land vehicles to bring me to the Southern Hemisphere out of this ship’s sensor range. They have a ship waiting there to bring me to planet Rendam where I can be free.”

  She stopped whispering to glare at me. My breaths had become staggered with fear.

  I started to shake my head. “I…I don’t know where he keeps his control unit.”

  “In his drawer, in his desk, in his shelf, whatever. Just look for it. And it has to be done tonight, do you understand? We might leave tomorrow. I won’t ever get another chance this good. They guard us like hawks on the home world.”

  I started to quake with tears. “Don’t…don’t ask me to…”

  “Are you fucking crazy!” Anger made her whisper even louder. “They’ll never know you helped me. Even if he suspects it, he loves you too much to punish you.”

  “This could ruin things.”

  She started to cry along with me. “You…you would be this selfish? They’re torturing me! I haven’t even told you everything. My God—!”

  I put my face in my hand. “I have to think about it.”

  Kang rolled back over to us. I was so grateful I could have hugged him. He offered us two of the peanut butter milk things.

  “I told you to fuck off!”

  “No.” I took my drink and cradled it in both hands. “I want him to stay.”

  She fumed and slumped back in the couch. A moment later she sat up again and took her drink.

  The two of us sipped in silence.
