children at one time. Plus, I don’t have the first clue how to keep them alive inside there, or what they would need when they hatched.”
     
Hailey took a deep breath and swiped angrily at the tears on her face. “One thing I do know is that you need to snap, crackle and pop Varill and the others. Rice crispy all their asses. I would like to see Varill’s head on a fucking platter and I don’t mean the one on his ugly neck either!” Maybe the anger would help her, maybe not. Right now, in this instance, she felt could make no choice that would be the right one. “I need to think about the eggs for a bit, before I decide. I just keep seesawing’ back and forth and I’m going to make myself dizzy if I don’t move on and do something else.”
     
Standing up, she wrapped her arms around her middle. “I think I need a bath to help relax me, but I also want to have you get some bleach so I can scrub my entire body raw. I don’t like that they did all that to me and I don’t even remember it. I honestly thought that it had just happened. Ugh, every thought I have is going back and forth. Does your bathroom, have something that I could fill with hot water?” Hailey question Jarrek.
     
Pulling her into his arms, he tightened his hold until she stilled. He wondered if she was aware that she was pacing back and forth and alternating between holding her middle and scrubbing at her arms. “I can take you into the cleanser. It does not have the ability to hold water for you to soak in, but it has rays of energy that burn off old skin and dirt until you are completely clean. We can do that if you like, but I don’t think that is all you need.” Jarrek told her as he started leading her to the cleansing room. “I can help you relax little bird and take your mind away from all this for just a few moments. Would you like that?”
     
“I would like to try to forget for a moment. I need to plan, and collect myself, but we don’t have the time Jarrek. I need to come to some kind of decision. I will see if Sameth can remove all of my skin later. Sorry, sick bastard. I would like to barbeque his ass.” Hailey muttered, pulling herself from Jarrek’s arms and continuing to pace.
     
“One day we are going to have time to sit down so you can explain this barbeque to me. Right now, I want you to come here.” Jarrek told Hailey, pulling her attention back to him where it belonged.
     
Hailey glanced at him frustrated that he was pulling her attention away from weighing the pros and cons of the situation. “For what? I am trying to think here Jarrek. Go find your brother and plan war with him. I need a few moments to think.”
     
“Hailey, I am warning you. Come here to me.” Jarrek called.
     
“Jarrek, you really don’t want to take that tone with me. If I am frustrating you, then go find your brother.” Hailey told him quite seriously.
     
“Hailey you are wasting time with your method. If you can just come over here for a few moments, I will show you a way to clear your thoughts and make an informed decision.” Jarrek went from demanding to cajoling. He was learning a little about his mate and sometimes the high road would work better for him. He also needed to get his hands back on his mate in the worst way.
     
“Fine, Jarrek. It had better work, or I will kick you out of here so I can think. You’re distracting.” Hailey told him as she came to stand in front of him. Before she could tell him to get on with his demonstration, he turned her around and undid the ties to her gown in a blink. He turned her back to face him and the top of her gown fell forward exposing her breasts. He quickly pulled the tie around her waist and most of the gown dropped to her knees. Only the ties at her wrists kept the garment on her body and Jarrek took care of that before she could bend to scoop up the garment to cover herself.
     
“Whoa. What in the hell are you doing? This isn’t the time to get freaky Jarrek. Right now,
