She used her arms on his shoulders for leverage to grind her hips, making sure his shaft pounded into her the way that brought her the most pleasure. In minutes Tammy screamed his name as the climax tore through her. Valiant roared when he came. He held her limp, sated body against his.
Tammy chuckled. “That’s how we should always say goodbye.”
Valiant laughed. “I agree.”
Tammy lifted her face, smiling at him. “Just come back to me safe.”
Valiant brushed his mouth over hers again. He put his nose against hers when their lips parted. They gazed into each other’s eyes. “I have everything to live for. I have you. I will be very careful.”
The doorbell chimed. Valiant sighed. She unlocked her ankles from around his hips. Valiant eased out of her body and placed her on her feet. Tammy laughed as Valiant righted his clothes and walked to open the door.
She didn’t have to worry about fixing her clothes. Her skirt fell past her knees to hide the loss of her panties.
Tiger stood in the hallway.
“I take it from the loud noise I heard on the elevator that you both have said goodbye?” He grinned.
Tammy blushed. “You heard that?”
“Everyone inside the building heard that. We are all looking forward to when Justice allows you both to live at Valiant’s when this is over. It’s remote out there and far enough away that we might miss knowing when you two have sex.” Tiger stared at Valiant. “A re you ready now that you’ve properly said goodbye to your mate?”
Valiant leaned down and picked up something off the floor. He grinned. “I am now.” He walked to Tammy and handed her the pair of panties she’d kicked away. “Keep these on while I’m gone so I can think about tearing them off when I return. I love you.”
Tiger laughed.
Tammy ignored Tiger and the embarrassment she suffered. Her hand brushed over Valiant’s chest where his heart beat as she accepted them. “I love you too. Hurry home to me.”
She watched the men walk away. There was no longer an officer posted outside her door. They had caught their mole who had been feeding information about Justice and what was going on at Reservation.
Everyone knew she belonged to Valiant, no one would bother her, and they trusted her not to leave the hotel without an escort because some of the Wild Zone occupants could pose a danger to her since some of them weren’t mentally stable.
Charlie A rtzola would never to be a problem again.
That’s what she’d been told. She closed the door and locked it, wondering for a split second if the attorney was dead. She mentally shrugged. She really didn’t care about his fate as long as he’d never cause trouble again. Justice had assured her that he wouldn’t.

It was past midnight when the phone rang. Tammy lunged for it. “Valiant?”
“How did you know it was me?” His deep voice sounded amused.
“Because no one else would call this late and you promised me you would. A re you all right? How did things go? Did you get them? Is everyone all right?”
“Slow down,” Valiant chuckled. “I am fine. We had a few injured but all will survive. We rescued all of them.
They were not expecting us and since it was at night, they were lightly guarded. The humans ran instead of trying to kill our people before we could get to them. It was pretty easy to take them.”
Tammy blew out a relieved breath. “I was worried.”
“I know. Thank you for caring about me that much.
We are transporting them to Reservation within the next twelve hours. We only have the two helicopters and have to fly them a few at a time. Justice does not want to traumatize them more with a long drive and we do not want to expose them to the outside world by trying to charter a larger plane. Too many questions and too much red tape. I’m staying here until the last group has been evacuated. You go to bed and rest, sexy. I should be home tomorrow by lunch.”
“Okay. I miss you.”
“I miss and love you.”
“I love you too.”
Tammy hung up, sad, missing him badly. She’d give anything if he were stretched out next to her on the bed.
She couldn’t believe how addicted she’d become to him.
She climbed out of bed to use the bathroom.
The doorbell chimed. Tammy frowned after glancing at the clock, seeing it was just past midnight. She donned a robe and padded through the hallway to the living room. She felt a little uneasy since she knew she no longer had an officer posted in the hallway. She walked to the door and bit her lip.
“Who is there?”
“It is Breeze. I brought ice cream. I know Valiant is gone and I thought you wouldn’t sleep well. May I come in?”
Tammy unlocked the door and threw it open. She smiled at the tall brunette. “Come in. It’s so good to see you. Did you say ice cream?”
Breeze walked inside holding a covered tray. “Not any ice cream. I brought double-dipped chocolate sundaes.
Ellie taught me how to make them. They have chunks of brownie inside them too.” She smiled down at Tammy from her much-taller height. “A re you sure you don’t mind me visiting so late?”
“No. I’m really glad you are here. I doubt I’ll sleep.
Valiant just called.”
“How did it go?” Breeze set the tray on the coffee table and lifted the lid. She sat on the couch and handed Tammy a spoon that had been rolled inside a napkin. “I haven’t heard anything yet.”
“Valiant said they got them all and everyone is fine. A few injures but nothing life threatening.”
“I am so happy to hear that. I must make arrangements for the half-dozen women we were told were being held there.”
Tammy hesitated, not sure if it was her place or not but really wanted to do something. “Do you need help?”
“I would love that.”
Tammy lifted her sundae and examined it. Her eyes widened. “Thank you so much. Wow. This is just…wow!
Look at all that chocolate. A re those walnuts?”
“Yes.”
“I love walnuts and brownies. Chocolate hard-shell syrup.” She took a bite. “A nd small chocolate chips. This is so good. You have to thank Ellie too.” She paused.
“You can eat chocolate? Valiant says it makes him sick.”
“Some Species get ill from it and some don’t.” She
“Some Species get ill from it and some don’t.” She grinned, took a big bite, the enjoyment showing on her face. “I love it.”

Valiant watched silently as six women were led past him by one short human female. His gaze followed the woman. Her hair was eye catching. It was flaming red and in a ponytail that fell to her ass. The human female led the Species women to the waiting helicopter and they climbed inside. Valiant frowned. He turned, looking at Tiger.
“Who was the small human woman with the bright hair?”
Tiger glanced at the helicopter. The woman was clearly visible since the doors were still open. She checked each seat belt of the six Species before taking a seat last. The pilot closed the side door and climbed in the cockpit.
“That’s Jessie Dupree. She’s the human female who usually is on hand when our Gift females are found. She is part of the human task force assigned to us by the government. She comforts our women when they are found. I am surprised she is here. She usually only deals with our women who were sold.”
“You would think she would be afraid of our females.
She is small compared to them.”
Tiger shrugged. “I don’t know what her deal is but she’s the one the humans send in when they locate one of our females. I don’t know why she’s here since these women weren’t sold but instead were still contained for testing. We did invite the humans in on this one and it was their call to bring her with them.”
