Chapter Twelve
The leg that bore the burden of his club foot buckled from beneath him as he slid from the saddle after a long night’s journey to safety. Felix quickly grabbed the saddle horn with one hand while holding tight to Eugene with the other, giving thanks for the fact that his mount was not an overly zealous one when it came to exerting his energy through unnecessary movement.
Ari was quick to rush to his aid. “Are you okay?”
Embarrassed by his weakness, he turned away. “I’m good. Nothing to worry about. My leg went to sleep from sitting for so long.”
Realizing that her show of concern may not have been the best thing for her traveling companion at that time, she backed away. “It’s happened to me more than once. I hate riding in the dark like that. You can’t relax your muscles at all.”
Relieved by the direction the conversation was going, he sighed and gave her

Rough shaking of his shoulders roused Felix from the deepest slumber he’d experienced in a very long time. It took him several moments to register where he was as he looked around. When he did, he sat up to see who it was that was shaking him with such aggression.He didn’t recognize the male figure that towered over him. As his eyes focused more solidly on him, he could see that his tormentor was around the age of twenty. He had a solid, muscular frame that was well defined. It was easy to see this since he was bare from the waist up. Although Felix had a well-defined and muscular frame as well, his torso was narrower than this intruder. If his perception was correct, he was also a few inches shorter than the man.“Who are you?” he asked with an annoyed tone and a voice that was still filled with sleep.“Wake up!” the intruder growled. “Ari’s been waiting outsi

A loud grunt flew from her mouth as cyborg Rex flung Kendra onto a narrow cot that was positioned against the cold, concrete wall of an equally narrow cell. He said nothing as he turned to leave. She would have asked him where she was, but he’d slammed her down so hard that she was still working on regaining her wind when the metal door slammed and locked behind him.She lay in silent misery while thoughts of what might have happened to her poor baby tormented her. When she could no longer stand worrying about it without the means to do anything, she shifted her concerns to where Rex might be and finding a way to escape.Her stomach felt bruised from enduring his rough gait while trussed over the cyborg’s shoulders. He may look like Rex, but that’s where the similarity ended. Rex would have been more concerned about her comfort, even if she was his prisoner. Of course, Rex was human and a conscience was a human attr

Time was a blurred mixture of breeding her with the alien’s chosen male studs and milking her breasts to feed orphaned infants. She’d lost count of how many men Josie and the guards had paired her with or how many times the guards had used her on the sly. Peanut had been timid and resistant at first, but he soon fell into sync with Les with his desires and frequency.She was sure that she was pregnant. It was impossible for her not to be with the bounty of semen being deposited into her multiple times a day.Exhausted from being roused every four hours to pump her milk and having sex forced upon her up to four times a day, she waited for Josie to come to take her to the shower and feigned illness. As she guessed, the doctor was sent for and a thorough examination ensued.The doctor fit the description of the old docs in the western novels that she’d read while convalescing back home. His abundant mustache was just a shade dark

Ari paced in front of the single men’s building while she waited for Felix to join her. She hadn’t seen him since he and Olga had gone to fetch Eugene almost two weeks ago. She wasn’t certain, but she guessed that Eugene had been sent off to the main Center Land with the other children since no children were kept in her village for any length of time. Surely, Olga knew this when she left Eugene in the care of the newborn nursery? It was just the way things were and there was nothing to be done to change it. It certainly wasn’t her fault. She didn’t run the village or make the rules. She simply followed them to the best of her ability.So, why did she have a knot in her stomach the size of her fist at the prospect of having to face first Felix and then Olga?“After two weeks, you finally come around?” Felix barked as he bounded out of the front door and down the steps to the sidewalk. “W

After a steaming cup of some of the best tea Ari had ever tasted and twenty minutes of reviewing their plans, the three were ready to head out on their rescue mission.Felix was both impressed and a little intimidated by the men who greeted them at the stables. They reminded him too much of the ones who had assisted Ari’s brother, Baelil, with the butcher job that was done on him in the cave before they left him for dead. He had to force back the tremors and sweat that surfaced almost immediately after setting eyes on them.Seeing his reaction, Olga placed her hand on his shoulder. “It’s the uniform, son. Those bastards are all dead and gone.”Felix swallowed hard. “Is it that obvious?”She gave a gentle smile as she tapped her temple. “Only to me.”He gave a weak chuckle. “When did you start using you psychic powers?”“It’s encouraged

Life in the maternity ward was much easier than Kendra had anticipated. Josie paid a good deal of attention to her needs and comfort, which helped a great deal. She noticed that wasn’t the case with the petite woman and most of the other women in the ward which, of course, made her curious as to why the special treatment. One day, she broached the subject with her. Although hesitant to admit it at first, Josie eventually told her that she was trying to make amends as best as she could for the horrors that her brother had inflicted up on her and a few other women in the ward.Kendra was quick to point out that the special treatment given them didn’t endear her to the women who were excluded -which was most of them- but Josie simply shrugged. She was risking a good deal by providing Kendra and the other handful of women with the comforts that she did without taking on any more. There was also the fact that Kendra was kind of heart

Olga shuddered from the morning chill as she forced her body to climb out of the sleeping bag that she’d snuggled in throughout the night. It seemed abnormally cold to her. Was it? Or was she simply getting soft after living in the compound that Rex led them to with his jacuzzi bath and soft mattresses, only to relocate to the village that offered those luxuries along with amenities such as modern medical equipment and motorized tools. It made her forget that the majority of the planet was doing without these things. Center Land made it easy to forget the total devastation that the world struggled to recover from.Felix’s mouth twisted in a wide yawn as he rose from his slumber and stood next to his aunt. “One night down. Two more to go.”“I’m feeling it in my bones, son,” Olga admitted. “The years are gaining on me.”A mischievous grin spread across his face as he said, “You’ll

Ari looked out over the morning’s horizon. She enjoyed rising from her slumber in time to enjoy the sun waking up for the day. A feeling of euphoria always encompassed her when she saw its rim peeking over the mountain tops. Not only did she derive a special type of pleasure from witnessing the sunrise, but it gave her an idea of what to expect for the day’s weather conditions. On this particular morning, the sun glowed a pinkish red. This meant that the chances of a storm were great.She waited until the sun had climbed above the mountain’s edge before tending to her morning duties. After stoking the flames in the campfire that she’d thrown together the night before, she set a small pot of coffee close enough for the heat to brew it quickly.Pulling some day-old biscuits and a few pieces of jerky from her saddle bags, she dribbled a bit of water into a cast iron pan and set both the jerky and the biscuit in it. Setting the pan
