Harden My Heart (Club Release 3) Science Fiction Abduction Romance Read Free Page A

eating a meal with David. A meal I cooked. Will I ever see a kitchen again? Minus a bastard male.
     
    At the remembered words of my captor, I shiver in horror. I don’t want to be cooked in someone’s kitchen. My stomach lurches. I slap my hand over my mouth and will myself not to throw up.
     
    I take a few deep breaths but it doesn’t help. Why is my luck so terrible? Did I do something horrible in a previous life? Do I have bad karma? Bad body odor that nobody had told me about?
     
    What is wrong with me?
     
    ♥ ♥ ♥
     
    Hours have passed.
     
    The rumble of my stomach is a blatant reminder of the passage of time. My throat is dry. Do they plan to starve us to death? Don’t they know you can’t make money off of dead bodies?
     
    Or can they?
     
    I shiver at the thought of my corpse being tossed onto a table or something and then sold to whatever alien wants it. He just said we would be sold, he didn’t say what shape we’d be in.
     
    Tears slip down my cheeks. I don’t have the will to brush them away. When I look into the next cage and see that the male is staring at me with pitying eyes, I drop my head in shame. He’s not crying.
     
    When a tear runs over my lip, I automatically lick it away. On autopilot my parched tongue gladly laps up as many tears as it can.
     
    The horror of my actions dries up my tears. Will I start eating my own arm before this is over? A shudder runs through me. I can’t take this.
     
    Something in me snaps. I jump up and start screaming.
     
    When one of my red captors enters the room, I snarl at him. “Do you plan on starving us? How about some water? Are you planning on selling our dead bodies? Isn’t fresh better?”
     
    His white hair floats about his bare shoulders as he shakes his head. “If you don’t want to be someone’s meal you had better not act like this when you are put up for sell. The good buyers are looking for calm submissive beings.”
     
    When the craft shudders, I squeak and drop to the hard floor.
     
    A light enters my captor’s yellow eyes. “That’s better. If you want to live and have a chance at happiness you need to be submissive. Many warriors pay well for a submissive female.”
     
    Is he for real? “Why would I care if you make good money selling me? I hope nobody wants me. That would serve you right.” Alien bastard.
     
    His eyes narrow and he licks his lips. “If you don’t sell you will be a very tasty meal for me and my crew.”
     
    “Flipping fuck. How can you be so mean?”
     
    He shrugs. “It’s just business. If you want to live you will be calm and act submissive. Let them touch you and smell you.” He takes a step closer to my cage. “Fight and you will become someone’s meal.”
     
    A shiver races through my body. The look in his eyes says he’s telling the truth.
     
    I watch him turn to the kepslian and listen as he talks to the male in a language I can’t understand. I can’t help but wonder when this is going to be over.
     
    I jump when two more of the red aliens enter the room.
     
    The look in their scary yellow eyes is freaking me out. One of them opens my cage door. I step back.
     
    “What’s going on? What are you going to do to us?” I cringe when my high pitched voice rings off the walls.
     
    “Calm yourself, human.” My captor lunges at me and within a second I’m caught and drug from the cage. One of the others quickly chains my hands behind my back. I barely stop myself from kicking him.
     
    “Please don’t chain me. I promise to be good.” Not likely, but they don’t know that.
     
    I’m ignored as the other two handle the light purplish alien. He seems okay. Calm even. But as the barpolians are tugging his chain to get him out of his cage their posture screams that the red aliens are on high alert.
     
    When the kepslian goes quietly, I wonder what the big deal is. My heart races as we are led out of the room and down a long corridor. I notice that it is clean. But I know
