Something is very wrong.

Chapter Two
     
    Hannah bit into the Vuret’s hairy arm as her vision blackened.
    He cried out and released her. “Bitch!”
    She crawled away from him, gasping for breath. Turning, she stared back at him.
    He grinned, transforming his half human, half bull face into something terrifying. “You always did know how to turn me on.” He wrapped his hand around his arm-sized erection and started to stroke himself. “Come. Put this into your mouth.”
    She just needed a minute, a minute to calm her pounding heart, so that she could Jump right back out of the dream. Touching her bruised throat, her fingers curled back from her hairy neck. She’d forgotten for half a second that she’d made herself look like his deceased wife.
    He leaped on her again. Sat on her chest. “Open your mouth,” he commanded.
    Screaming, she struck out with her hand, hitting his dick as hard as she could.
    He swore again, punching her hard in the face. For a moment, she saw stars.
    “You’re going to love this,” he grunted, turning her onto her stomach. A hand pulled down the small pair of leather underwear she wore, and her insides crawled. “I always did regret killing you.”
    She felt something hard and long rub against the back of her ass.
    “Get off!” she screamed, trying desperately to buck the huge alien off her, but he barely moved.
    Panic set in.
    I knew I wasn’t prepared to Dream Jump. I knew this was a bad idea. Why didn’t I learn my lesson the last time?
    “W-h-a-t,” he sputtered.
    He grabbed her hair and yanked her head back. And suddenly, she was staring into his terrifying face. “Who the hell are you?”
    And that’s when she knew. In her terror, she’d let her dream image fade. He was staring at her real face, at Hannah Stowe. Never before had she done something so dangerous.
    His mouth turned into a dangerous smile. “Whoever you are, I’m going to enjoy every second of this, and then, I’m going to end your miserable life.”
    She coughed, spitting out cold water. Her entire body trembled as the freezing liquid hit her. How did she end up in the bath?
    “Are you okay?”
    Suddenly, Liam’s worried face leaned into view.
    She stared. There had never been a more welcome sight in her life. Even though his face was bruised and battered, and one cheek was bandaged, she felt a rush of gratitude. This Keltair male had saved her from something horrible. Everything she felt in the dream, her body felt. And if the creature had killed her in his dream, she’d be left brain-dead.
    “Thank you,” she whispered, her voice hoarse.
    And then to her horror, she felt tears well in her eyes.
    Closing them, she tried to push away the terrible images that filled her mind, but she couldn’t. It wasn’t just this Dream Jump. It was all of them. Being sent into the dreams of some of the most dangerous men and women in the universe filled her memories with things she could never unsee.
    Things she could never forget.
    “Are you all right?” Liam asked, stroking the hair back from her face.
    Her teeth chattered. “Yes.”
    Eyes still closed, she leaned into his touch. How was such a large man so gentle? And why did she trust him so much?
    Her father had always liked to be there when she Dream Jumped, just in case she ran into trouble. But he never greeted her with a gentle touch. He simply avoided her gaze, so she couldn’t see the guilt in his eyes.
    Even though she knew it was there.
    “Computer, try Hannah’s bath setting number four.” Liam shifted her in his arms as he gave the command.
    Warm water rushed over her flesh, and she gasped in pleasure. She relaxed against Liam’s chest, her senses were entirely overwhelmed. A soft melody played, and she felt the water rising around her.
    “How did you know?” she mumbled, with a slight sigh.
    He nuzzled the top of her head. “I knew one of your settings would be a good one.”
    She took a deep breath, steeling herself as her face gave a
