panel and straight into Ben’s arms. She knew she should be used to it but she couldn’t help the soft gasp that escaped her as his mouth hungrily covered hers. She felt his body shudder against hers as he released her when he heard Aaron’s soft curse.
    He started to pull Evetta behind him when he saw another figure step through the doorway before Aaron closed the panel. He paused when he felt Evetta’s hand on his arm. His eyes narrowed on the slender figure of the other female.
    “Oh shit!” Aaron whispered.
    “Do not be alarmed,” Evetta whispered. “This is my sister, Hanine. She will not betray us.”
    Ben returned the other female’s sharp gaze with one of his own. He could see the surprise and shock in them as she took in his unusual features. With a nod, he tightly gripped Evetta’s hand in his before he turned and headed down the narrow tunnel. It was only wide enough for one person. He took the lead, wanting to get Evetta to the safety of the lower decks before he asked her what was going on.

    Hanine froze when she turned her head. Her eyes locked with a pair of dark brown eyes that were transfixed on her face. She watched as shock and dismay flashed across the young male’s face. She tilted her chin defensively at his expression.
    “I am Hanine,” she said.
    “I know,” the slender male responded in a hoarse voice. “You are supposed to be working. Your shift isn’t over for another two hours.”
    Hanine jerked back in surprise. Frowning, she ran her eyes over the tall male. She had never seen him before so how could he know who she was and when she worked?
    “How do you know that?” She demanded.
    A soft smile curved his lips before the whisper of his words touched her. “Can I keep you? Forever?”
    “You? How? It was you?” Hanine’s voice whispered in faint awe.
    She didn’t move as his pale hand rose to touch her. She felt his warm fingers slide down over her cheek. A soft gasp escaped her at the tenderness of his touch.
    “Your skin is just as soft as I imagined it would be,” Aaron remarked.
    Hanine’s dazed eyes followed him as he turned away to follow her sister and his brother. She raised a shaky hand to touch her cheek. Her lips parted in confused wonder as he looked back over his shoulder at her. A small, boyish smile curved his lips before he turned back.
    “Oh my,” Hanine whispered as her heart melted at the look.

    Evetta hurried after Ben. She could feel his concern. It was strange that just after a week, her body knew his. She squeezed his fingers in understanding. She had not planned on telling her sister about them yet.
    She was breathless by the time he pulled her into the small room she had discovered him in a short time ago. He murmured something to his brother before the door closed, sealing them alone inside. She started to explain but the words died on her lips when Ben pulled her into his arms and kissed her.
    It was several long minutes before he released her and leaned his forehead against hers. Evetta held onto his broad shoulders for support, pulling in gasping breaths. Her heart was thundering in her chest and she swore she would have collapsed if he had not been holding her tightly against him.
    “I missed you,” he finally choked out, pressing another kiss to her forehead. “It tears me up every time you walk away from me. I have nightmares of you being attacked again.”
    “Hush, do not worry for me,” Evetta murmured, threading her fingers through his dark hair. “I miss you as well, Ben. I want you. I need you.”
    Ben’s breath exploded from his chest at her softly spoken words. He had re-arranged the small room where she had first discovered him. He had removed the two chairs and installed one of the narrow benches that made into a bed. It wasn’t much but as no one else ever used the room, he had taken it over as his. Now, it would be theirs.
    “I need you, Evetta,” Ben groaned softly as his hands came up to cup her small
