Alien
our
friend. He might not be alone. Have you seen others like us?”
    There were more of them in the woods? What is this, an
alien convention in Hicksville? She shook her head. “I can honestly say
that you are the only ones I’ve seen.”
    “We need to deal with this situation.” The blond one finally
spoke.
    Lynn instantly got his meaning when she caught him glaring
at her. He didn’t look happy. Were they going to kill her because she’d seen
them? They are freakin’ aliens. She was certain about that. It was
tempting to make a run for it but they were fit and Coto still held her. They’d
run her into the ground in no time, even if she managed to break free of his
grip around her waist. She needed to make herself useful long enough to find a
way to escape.
    “I know these woods really well. You said you’re here to go
camping and look for your friend. I could be your tour guide. I’m a great
tracker.” She peered up at Coto. “That’s how I found you.”
    “Good.” He glanced at the other aliens. “She is under my
protection. Set up camp here. We search for Vhon at first light.”
    “We don’t need her,” Gar rasped.
    “You take orders from me,” Coto snarled. “No one touches the
woman.” He pointed the tip of his blade at the redhead. “She helped me when I
was injured. We are men with honor. Don’t forget that, despite where we are.”
    “Yes, Coto.” Gar backed away. “We will set up camp.”
    Coto was protecting her. Lynn was grateful enough to glance
up at him. He met her gaze.
    “We will not harm you. There is nothing to fear. You are a
woman alone without protection but we are civilized.”
    “Okay,” she got out. She had a feeling that was going to be
a word she used often around these guys since she had no idea what else to say.
    He gave a sharp nod. “No one will bed you.”
    Her eyes widened and she knew her mouth dropped open. “Excuse
me?”
    He frowned. “We will not strip you bare to make use of your
body. That must be a concern of yours since you are a woman with so many men.”
He released her and took a step back.
    Shit! “That concept never crossed my mind.”
    It hadn’t. She was still trying to wrap her head around them
being aliens and hoping they weren’t going to kill her. Her attention dropped
to the front of his pants and then she stared into his eyes again. Was that
even possible? They looked humanoid, amazingly so, even though there were
obvious differences in their features. They were bigger than average men too,
all of them tall and thickly muscled.
    “When it does, have no fear. I will not allow anyone to harm
you.” His nostrils flared as he inhaled and a soft growl came from his throat
that the box either didn’t pick up or couldn’t translate. “You are very
tempting but right now our mission is to find our friend.”

Chapter Three
     
    Coto had sniffed at her. Lynn hesitated and sniffed back at
him. Maybe it is a cultural thing with these aliens. She inhaled the
scent of something musky and pleasant. He responded by making another soft
growl. He stepped close again.
    The look in his eyes made her feel a little weak in the
knees. She didn’t need a box to translate lust. He was foreign to her but was
masculine and attractive. If he were human she’d probably be panting after a
guy built like him. And she loved the long hair. The fact that he was so tall
was a turn-on too since most of the men she knew were short.
    She sure didn’t get prime stud muffins in Green Bend. She
got idiots like Jimmy Morgan and his drug buddies or lazy, out-of-shape older
guys like Mayor Morgan to choose from for potential dating candidates. Any guy
halfway decent had been snatched up in high school and remained taken by some
woman.
    He reached out and brushed a finger along her chin, then
leaned in. He inhaled, making a low noise that wasn’t quite a growl but more of
a rumble.
    “What are you doing?” Her voice was barely a whisper.
    “You are checking my
