Prologue
    Earth, Year 2217

    “May I suggest not using the riding crop,” I said, keeping my voice polite.
    “What, this thing?” Zyn hit the flat end of the crop against his palm.
    The smacking sound startled me enough that my horse reacted with a sudden jump forward, which made me increasingly aware of the way the animal’s rolling stride rocked the saddle between my thighs.
    “Just ride slowly and don’t use the crop please .” I couldn’t afford to piss off aliens who came from planets rich in natural resources. Still, if he broke his neck, he couldn’t sign the trade contract, could he?

    “The confederation will gladly ship half a dozen horses with the next trader toward Dezra,” I said, wondering if the day could get any worse.
    His mouth curved to a satisfied yet cruel smile, revealing sharp canines. He exuded a sexuality so raw it made my stomach tighten.
    As if he sensed my physical reaction, he twisted in the saddle toward me and ran a hand down his horse’s neck. He wore pants and a sleeveless shirt, both made from a black material. Not leather, not rubber, definitely organic and not synthetic. His bare skin shimmered as if someone had blown metallic dust all over him. He was like a copper-colored lion, big with lazy movements that hinted at lethal strength.
    I shouldn’t be alone with him.
    “May I suggest this way,” I said, pointing to my right. “There is an area where we can rest and wait for your delegation
