chest flexed, shoulders tensed, and he moved his hand between them, vibrating his hand against her clit as he threw her into an orgasm that was painfully sharp.
    Anna’s breath caught in her lungs, and she held on for dear life, digging her nails into his skin.
    He hissed and pulled her down to him, pumping upward as far as his position would allow. He groaned, and his hand on her hip flexed hard while he shuddered.
    Her head spun, and she pressed her forehead to his. She was extremely dizzy.
    Her body went limp, and Quake gathered her to him and got to his feet, carrying her to the bed. He settled her against the pillows.
    “What is happening?” She tried to sit up, but she fell back.
    He chuckled, stroking her cheek. “Another basic need. You are hungry. Stay here. I will send the bots up.”
    She nodded, and he left the bedroom. She grimaced at the soreness and stickiness between her thighs and got to her feet, wobbling and swaying to the lav. She showered and dressed again before returning to the bed.
    The robe flared, and she tucked it around her as she settled. A bot came in through a small door, carrying a tray that smelled delightful.
    Anna looked over the selections on the tray and reached for some fruit, noting how her hand was shaking.
    She sat and ate the hot-pink citrus and relaxed as it felt like the juice was running into her veins. She felt stronger after a few mouthfuls and was able to lean forward and make a few more selections from the tray.
    Quake entered, wearing a black robe with silver embroidery. “Oh good. I was afraid that you had fainted.”
    Anna glared at him. “I am not a fainter.”
    He chuckled and sat next to her on the bed. “You seem in higher spirits.”
    She snorted. “The fire is out, for now.”
    Quake sighed. “A pity. I was just getting used to being a sex toy.”
    She held her hand up in front of her mouth as she cackled with laughter at his woebegone face.
    He grinned, and there was relief in the set of his shoulders. It was strange to start with sex and then get to know your partner. Anna was a bit relieved to find out that part of him felt the same.
    She offered him one of the citrus slices, and he took it from her fingers with his mouth. She laughed and made a mental note to hand feed him all the food that she didn’t like.
     

Chapter Five
     
     
    With a full belly and calm nerves, Anna took a nap. When she woke, she was alone in her room again and the sun was setting.
    Her body seemed to have settled. She felt warm but not on fire and that was a definite improvement.
    She wrapped her robe around her and held it closed as she walked out onto the balcony.
    The Guardians were back. They were standing together, and Quake was with them, wearing the tight bodysuit she had seen when she had first met him.
    One of the men tapped Quake on the shoulder, and Quake turned to face her. He bowed low, and she bobbed a quick curtsey. She could see the change in his body language as he laughed. She stared out to sea.
    She didn’t know how long she had been looking at the water, but a feminine voice got her attention.
    “Excuse me, but I need to do some scans on you.”
    Anna jumped but slowly made her way back into the room, clutching the robe together tightly. “Hello, I am Anna.”
    The woman had dark skin and rich red hair that formed a wild halo around her head before cascading down her back. “I am Yem-lal Aricor. You may address me as Lady Aricor.”
    Well, that was a bit of a slap in the face. “Of course.”
    Anna avoided the use of the title by not addressing her. It was mean-spirited but a bit of fun.
    “So, you don’t know about protocol or anything off your own world.” Lady Aricor set up a tray, which was perched on the head of one of the bots.
    “No. I was given languages and dumped in a stasis tube. When I woke, I was here. There wasn’t a lot of time for training, apparently.” She grimaced.
    “Sit on the bed. I will do the scans.” The lady was slightly
