body yelled, me likey ! Her eyes roamed over his 6 ft. plus
frame. His feet were encased in those black boots. His legs sheathed in black
pants that molded to his corded thighs, and...She would just come back to that area later to see if her eyes were playing tricks on her. His chest was covered
in the same type of black vest. She was seeing a trend here with the black
material. The vest covered his stomach and chest, but she could see his well
defined biceps. It didn’t take her imagination long to fill in what his abs and
pecs would look like under that vest. His face was chiseled perfection, with
high cheek bones and full, plump lips. His eyes, which seemed glued to her,
were an electric purple framed by long black eyelashes. Her dreamboat sundae
was topped off with silky, black hair that fell to his shoulders. Yum!
      Amber had a really bad habit.
When she was nervous she laughed. She couldn't help it, she just did. This was
a situation that had her beyond nervous, so what to do? Laugh. Full, deep belly
laughs that she couldn't stop. The absurdity of the situation hit her and her
mind just chose that moment to snap. Which was unfortunate as she got dumped on
the floor by Knollig. Her laughter must have reminded him that he was holding
her. After the shock of hitting the floor washed over her, she just laughed
harder. She laughed until tears ran down her face.
    "It is broken! I can see it leaking." Knollig let out a
frightened whisper, "It is doing a weird death rattle…the medical unit
must have only done a temporary fix."
    That got her laughing harder, "I- am- not-dying –you- idiot!” She
gasped in deep breaths, wiping at her face. Taking a long minute to control
herself, she finally got out…”I was laughing because I found the situation
humorous!" She pushed herself from her prone position on the floor to
sitting. Thankfully her hair managed to give her some modesty. "Is anyone
going to help me off the floor?" She looked around at everyone, but her
gaze stuck on tall, dark and extra hunky.
    Amber kept her eyes on Kniam as she waited for someone to help her off
the floor. His eyes swept her from her hair and lips to her now thankfully not too plush body. He paused in his perusal of her every now and then to
swallow hard. His eyes, which started as electric purple, turned a smoky and
deeper shade and what she thought was electric before, became just plain
shooting sparks. His mouth moved to say something and he swallowed again. What?
    She was shocked when he said, "We might have a problem. This
creature is making me sick." That threw her off, wait, what?! At those
words all hell broke loose.

Chapter Eight
     
    "I will kill it right away.”   Knollig vowed.
    He grabbed her by the arm and jerked her to standing. Kniam took offense
for some reason and violently knocked Knollig aside, since he was still holding
her arm took her with him. In the shuffle between the two men, she stumbled and
Kniam gently steadied her against his side. Everyone was yelling, Amber
included. "I'll have you know I am free of any diseases! If anything is
making you sick it didn’t come from me!"
    Ailech spoke up, “The dirty creature must not be allowed to contaminate
everyone, who knows what vile disease it is carrying. We need to run a
diagnostic on the medical unit in case it missed something…”
    Amber turned to glare at Ailech, the big jerk. “Now just a damn
minute…vile is…”
    "Everyone stop!" Kneus commanded, and they all paused mid yell,
"Knollig, stand guard in technology. Ailech guard from caging.” At his
command the two men bowed low to Kniam and moved to opposite doors. “I am
putting the Square on lockdown, nobody will be allowed in, and nobody out.” He
did some button pushing, and then turned back, “Kniam, please calm down and
describe your symptoms so we can get to the bottom of this."
    Kniam spoke softly, "Something is happening in my pants.” He
gestured to his groin area. “There is a painful swelling
