     Not the kind of male who thought like others, Maxton was not able to understand his troops’ need for baser pleasures. But, he wasn’t going to deny them that pleasure after everything they had been through over the past few years. It was just unfortunate that it was what they had chosen to do on the first night back. But, then a single glimpse of this exotic creature changed it all… The fearless, strong alien warrior swallowed hard as his eyes drank in this entirely strange creature in front of him. He wanted her for his own more desperately than anything he had ever known. It was not the strong desire to survive, but something else entirely; something so primal he didn’t think there was a word for it. Maxton stared at the creature still wilding, trying to get out of the place. It was the most interesting, entertaining, and scary encounter he had had in a very long time. He had heard about humans a few years back. They did not do well as slaves, and based on legislation a few years ago, they were considered an exotic animal that was not to be brought to the planet. The real question was how did a human end up at his planet? And more importantly, why does Mia matter more to him than just a warrior’s prize? Adults Only!
