was prepared for tears. Her face was screwed into a snarling growl.
    Huck scrunched his nose. “Not a good look on you, female. I’d guess something crawled up your ass and died.”
    “Take—me—back.”
    “No.”
    Huck wasn’t prepared for defiance. She should be crying and begging him to be gentle. Cobra would know if he took her by force. This situation was a dilemma. He could be gentle but she wasn’t asking him to be, she was demanding to be returned to the pidly human males. Five of whom handed her over on a silver platter.
    “They left the planet without you,” he stated. “The human males. They took off. Even if you’re returned you would have no one.”
    “Back.” She stomped her foot and pointed behind him.
    Huck strode to the controls grumbling. This venture wasn’t supposed to be so hard. Part of his plan involved the female letting him mate immediately. The longer he stayed out roaming the galaxies the faster were his chances of being noticed by rogue Tonan. If he was caught and they saw no tail he’d be in deep shit. If he was caught with a female it would mean their death. The shuttle should already be on its way to Cobra’s. He couldn’t go to Cobra unless he mated her.
    Huck could see her image reflected back through the window when he looked up. Huck shifted slightly to face her. Insolence stared back. He couldn’t force her; he couldn’t remain where they were. Drastic measures were called for. We must mate.
    “You leave me no choice. I’m pressed for time now that I have a human female.”
    Huck turned, his fingers flying over the console. The shuttle had been hovering in space and took off. Becky was tossed backward and landed against a wall with a thump.
    “Where the hell are you taking me?” she demanded.
    “A place so deadly you’ll be screaming for me to save you and mate with me. You’ll beg to do as I say.”
    “Not fucking likely, cupcake.”
    Huck growled. “Don’t call me cupcake.”
    Becky slumped into a sitting position with her knees drawn up. Huck went and crouched before her.
    “I owe you nothing, female. Not at this very moment in time,” he said. “Not even life. As my mate you will be protected. Trust me; the most protection from me is me. There is nothing more frightening in the universe.”
    He blinked when she stuck her tongue out at him and crossed her eyes. Huck had no idea humans could look so strange. He stood and sauntered over to the window and when she ignored him he stuck his tongue out. Huck almost laughed at his reflection. The strange face held no purpose except to annoy.
    What was a real annoyance was the throbbing in his cock. Being around a female brought on urges while in must. He could have had her twice in the time they were in the air. Instead, she was using her tongue inappropriately. Wet, and warm her tongue should be gliding over him. A female had sucked his cock before. Huck knew what sex was.
    When human females were discovered and Cobra moved heaven and earth to break free and find mates for his warriors, Huck knew immediately who would win the war. Cobra, Castian leader, was on a mission. Huck’s planning had to be perfect. For years, he bided his time getting to know strategies, opponents, allies and enemies. Weakness and strength. Everything pointed to Cobra being the victor. Chaos loomed during battle a few months prior and Huck took off during the midst of a skirmish. He was no traitor, Tonans weren’t loyal. It was ludicrous for a Tonan captain to demand allegiance. Cobra would demand loyalty.
    Stupid loyalty.
    Too many emotions were necessary to join with Cobra, and Huck still wasn’t positive he could fit in. For months he and his shield fought pros and cons. Worse was if he mated, he’d be stuck with a stupid female who tasted air with her tongue. Huck glanced at Becky. She was staring at the ceiling. Huck glanced up, there was nothing there. He and his shield didn’t plan on her disobeying, that point had never come
