from arms that were like
ropes around her body. His hand, twice the size of hers, covered her mouth and
nose.
    “I found you and you are mine. By the laws of all Mu Arae I claim you.”
    Terah went limp in his arms. She was a slave. The long walk, the days and
days, hands and feet of them for her, for Skye, for Raine ,
and for Flame, were all wasted. Instead of escaping from the aliens they’d all
been caught almost at the safe place. The aliens must have discovered it and
waited here to trap them. Now she was this man’s slave forever.
    The man called out something in the strange language, and then there
was silence. He was holding her so tightly against his chest she couldn’t even
say goodbye to her friends. Tears prickled behind her eyelids but she refused
to cry.
    Goodbye, Skye. Goodbye, Flame.
Goodbye, Raine . I hope your aliens aren’t too
horrible to work for.
    The alien turned her in his arms and spoke slowly in English. “Do you
understand that you belong to me now?”
    “Yes.” Her voice was soft and defeated so she immediately squared her
shoulders. She belonged to him and had to do whatever he told her. But inside
he couldn’t change her thoughts and personhood. She would always be Terah in her heart.
    “You are my bride. We belong together. You will stay with me and we
will rebuild the land.”
    Terah didn’t understand the word bride .
But since she had to stay with him and work the land she guessed slave was close enough to the meaning.
At least she knew how to scavenge food and which plants they could eat. He was
so big she supposed it would take most of her time every day just to find
enough food to feed him.
    He put her down and began to undress. His purple clothing looked very
strange to her, but then she’d never seen an alien before either. At least he
had arms and legs just like hers, and his hair was blond. His eyes were
different though. She’d never seen anyone with purple eyes before. When he was
naked, he pulled her closer to his body and dragged her shirt off over her
head. He pulled so hard she worried that it would tear.
    “Let me do it.”
    She stepped back and undressed, even taking her sandals off, and stood
naked before him. She couldn’t decide whether he was just looking to see what
he’d gotten, or if he was going to mark her in some way to show she belonged to
him, or whether he wanted to have sex with her. As his slave there was nothing
she could do to complain whatever he wanted to do with her. He’d told her twice
she belonged to him and she accepted that. She’d known the aliens were coming
looking for slaves. It was just bad luck that she and her friends had been
caught.
    “You are too thin. You need to eat more,” he said.
    Yes, well, that was only going to happen if he permitted her to eat
more, but it was a positive sign that he meant to feed her.
    “Andreas.” He tapped his chest and looked at her.
    Apparently they were exchanging names. “ Terah .”
    “Suck my cock.”
    It was already very big. Surely it wouldn’t get any bigger? She was
going to have to open her mouth very wide to fit it inside.
    Terah squirmed. “I’ve never sucked a man’s cock before. You will need to
tell me what to do.”
    She hoped he wasn’t going to be angry. He already thought she was too
skinny. Now she was going to have to admit she was completely inexperienced
with sex as well. Maybe he’d kill her and look for a better slave. She didn’t
want to die, and so far he’d been very reasonable. He hadn’t even hit her
although she clearly wasn’t his ideal woman. She could accept being his slave
even to having sex with him if that was what he wanted. It was much better than
dying.
    He grabbed both of her hands, holding one in each of his huge fists.
“Are you a virgin?”
    Oh no. Maybe he would kill her after all. “Yes, sir,” she whispered.
    “Good. That’s very good. The power will be much stronger.” He picked
her up and laid her on his clothing. “I will
