If not for the shouts and cheers of the other brides in line, I probably would have let him fuck me right there.
Instead, I reluctantly pulled away from the kiss, and he set me on my feet.
When he said, “Come with me,” and held out his hand, I followed him.
One of the vidglobes had caught it all, and it had been broadcast live—complete with commentary from Vos Klavoii, as I’d learned later.
Now, the memory of his kisses sent a shiver down my spine, and Eldron glanced down at me, taking my hand in his and bringing it up to his mouth long enough to drop another spine-tingling kiss on it.
I smiled up at him, unwilling to let him know how anxious I was.
Bad enough that my name had been drawn in the Bride Lottery.
Now, even though they were supposedly over, I was back in the Games. And not the usual ones, either—a whole new set of challenges, just for me.
Guess it’ll make for good television back home.
I sent up a silent prayer to any god who might be listening that I could resist my attraction to Eldron long enough to get back to Earth, to the people I love.
Back to the people I needed to save.
And that I would be able to keep him from learning my most desperate secret.
The odds aren’t looking good, though.
