“You were spying on me.”

“I was assessing the situation.”

“Through eleven floors of armed security.”

“The pathetic human security was not sufficient to keep you safe."

My beautiful bondmate snorted. “Hollis is going to be deeply offended when he wakes up.”

I ordered a standard meal. Roasted meat, root vegetables, and flatbread appeared inside the unit. Priya leaned closer. “That looks almost normal.”

“It is food.”

“Thank you for clearing that up.”

I ordered a second portion and carried both to the low table. She sat across from me, tried the meat, and made a pleased sound that went directly to my cock. Eating with her was a mistake. Watching her lick sauce from her lower lip was torture.

“This is good,” she said. “What is it?”

I told her. The translator provided the Earth equivalent. Priya stopped chewing. “I am eating something called a rock lizard?”

“A large rock lizard.” I took another bite. Savored the rich flavor. "The small breeds can be chewy and bitter."

“That does not improve the fact that I'm eating a lizard right now.”

“You said it was good.”

She considered the meat, then took another bite. “I guess humans eat alligator, too. Still, I stand by my original assessment. Tastes good. Just don’t show me a picture.”

I ate faster so I could stop watching her mouth. It did not help.

“Clothing will be delivered in the morning,” I said. “Uniforms and standard garments.”

She looked down at her wrinkled work clothes. “Good. Because I didn’t plan for an alien abduction when I got dressed today.”

“You were not abducted.”

“I know. I resigned first. Very responsible of me.”

I pointed toward the larger bedroom. “You will sleep there. I will take the smaller room. The connecting door locks from your side.”

“Why would I lock it?”

“For privacy.”

“There are two doors.”

“For security.”

“From what?”

Me. “The base is unfamiliar.”

“The base isn’t on the other side of that door. You are.”

“Exactly.”

Priya crossed her arms beneath her breasts. A terrible position for my concentration.
