Evetta who had risen as well. “I…,” he began before breaking off with a curse. He drew in a deep breath before releasing it. “Be safe,” he said gruffly.
    “I will,” she replied softly before walking over to the door where Inez stood waiting for her. She turned to look at Ben. “I wish to see you again.”
    Ben stood stiffly, his fists clenched by his side. He knew he should tell her no. He knew it was too dangerous for both of them but he was helpless to resist. He had to see her again.
    “I want to see you as well,” he responded quietly.
    The moment he saw the small smile that pulled her sweet lips up and the glimmer of shy pleasure in her eyes he knew it was worth the risk. He would fight every warrior on board for the chance to spend just a few minutes in her company. He ignored Behr and Inez who stood just outside the door staring at them. Stepping forward, he pulled Evetta into his arms and crushed her lips with his in a fierce, possessive kiss before releasing her.
    Ben swallowed down the howl of rage as he watched Evetta walk away from him. He clenched his fists again when he felt Behr’s hand on his shoulder, holding him back from following her. Drawing in a deep breath, he fought for the calm that he practiced years to acquire.
    “You know that it will be dangerous if you see her again,” Behr commented.
    “I’m a man, not a fucking machine. Some things in life are worth the danger,” Ben responded coldly.
    He shrugged Behr’s hand off his shoulder and stepped back. Turning, he retreated down the corridor toward the lower training rooms that Behr and the other warriors had set up. He needed to release some of his frustration. Since Aaron was still working, he would have to be content with pushing his own body through a hard workout.

Chapter 5

    “Where are you going?” Hanine asked. “You have been disappearing every day after your shift is over for the past week.”
    Evetta looked up at her sister and shrugged. “I’m tired of being cooped up in our living quarters. I have been doing a little exploring.”
    “Evetta,” Hanine said quietly. “It is not safe to wander the ship. You could be attacked…or worse.”
    “I will be fine,” Evetta replied, tightening the strap on the knife sheath attached to her leg. “I will be careful.”
    “What is going on? You’ve never kept anything from me before but I can tell that there is something different about you. Talk to me,” Hanine begged. “Please. I could not stand it if something happened to you.”
    Evetta bit her lip and stared at her younger sister for several long seconds before she released her breath. She knew she needed to assure her sister that she was safe but how could she without revealing where she was going? She knew she could trust Hanine but her fear of something happening to Ben was even greater.
    “You must promise me you will not mention this to anyone,” Evetta finally muttered under her breath. “You must promise me, Hanine. It is a matter of life or death.”
    Evetta could feel her sister’s worried stare. She waited until Hanine nodded before she relaxed. Breathing a sigh of relief, she wrapped her arms around Hanine and gave her a big hug before taking a step back.
    “I’ve met a man. He is different from any male I have ever met before,” Evetta whispered. “He makes me feel things deep inside, Hanine. I would do anything to protect him.”
    “You’ve met a…who…Evetta,” Hanine stammered in shock.
    Evetta shook her head. “He is different, Hanine. He is not like us. He is a different species. His name is Ben Cooper and I care deeply for him.”
    “What do you mean a different species? Why have I never seen him? Where is he from?” Hanine asked before her eyes narrowed in determination. “I want to meet him.”
    “Hanine,” Evetta began in exasperation.
    “No! I want to meet him, Evetta,” Hanine insisted. “I have to know that you are safe with him.”
    Evetta’s eyes softened as she
