Brute Force

Stripped of my dignity and locked in a cage.My only chance for freedom?A savage alien brute...I am the rightful queen of Xaridia. In theory at least. But in reality, I’ve been betrayed by those closest to me. Locked away in a cage.I am not alone, however.My new neighbor is a captured Dugorim warlord, the enemy of my people. He is a massive brute of an alien. Seven feet of bulging muscles and growling dominance.I am grateful for the wall of bars separating us. This beast could easily tear me apart.But he says he has a plan for escape. His species has a protective instinct that makes him strong enough to bend solid steel.There’s just one little problem...For his instinct to manifest, he requires a mate. And the way he’s looking at me through those bars tells me who he has in mind. That look makes me flush with shame and quiver with anticipation.To what lengths am I willing to go to win my freedom?Am I willing to submit to the alien’s plan?Am I willing to kneel before him?
