he had a clear head.
    He reached for the shampoo and washed his hair, then ran a bar of soap over his body. After ensuring he was thoroughly clean, he turned off the shower and stepped out.
    He walked straight to the intercom and pressed a button.
    â€œYes, Colonel?”
    â€œPlease prepare the prisoner in the clothes I’ve instructed, and have her brought to my office.”
    â€œYes, Colonel.”
    He released the button on the intercom and went back into his office to find some extra clothes.

    The knock on the door jerked her out of a deep sleep. Talia sat up, her heart thudding as she blinked in confusion. Oh yes. She was a prisoner. How could she have forgotten?
    The door swung open and another unfamiliar woman came inside. Unlike Krystal, she was more severe in appearance. Brown hair hung down her back in a braid and she wore the same military uniform Ryder had been wearing earlier.
    â€œGet out of bed,” the woman snapped. “Your presence is requested by Colonel Jacobs.”
    Talia covered her mouth to hide a yawn and swung her legs out of bed.
    â€œColonel Jacobs?”
    The woman’s smile was condescending, as if she were talking to a toddler. “Yes, the man who brought you here.”
    â€œOh, you mean Ryder.”
    The smile disappeared, her eyes flashed. “You should not address him so informally.”
    â€œWell, perhaps he should not have abducted me.” She looked around. Where were her shoes?
    â€œYou’ll need to change.”
    Talia glanced back up. “Excuse me?”
    The woman’s mouth tightened, and her gaze held something…. Resentment?
    â€œHe wants you to wear this.”
    Talia lowered her gaze to the small red fabric in the woman’s hands.
    â€œWhat is it?”
    The woman’s face reddened and she suddenly looked more annoyed.
    â€œYou cannot be serious. You need me to explain what it is?” She shook out the fabric revealing just a short tube of fabric. “It is a dress. A night dress, to be exact.”
    â€œYou wear such things to bed?” Talia’s eyes widened, the horror in her voice apparent.
    â€œYou really are from another planet, aren’t you?” The woman rolled her eyes. “Night dresses like these are worn not for practical reasons, but when one is going to have sex.”
    Talia’s jaw clenched. “I am not having sex with him.”
    The woman’s mouth twisted into a scowl. “Well, apparently he feels differently. Put it on.” She tossed the dress at her and it slapped across Talia’s cheek before sliding to the floor.
    Talia bit back a groan of frustration and leaned over to pick up the dress. There would be no avoiding it. She looked back at the other woman.
    â€œWill you at least give me the privacy to change?”
    The woman’s mouth pursed. “No. I am to watch you the entire time I am here.”
    â€œSurely not while I change?”
    The woman just stared at her and made no move to even look away. What a bizarre person .
    Talia sighed and pulled the cotton dress she’d been issued over her head. The cool air hardened her nipples and she gratefully tugged on the thin red fabric. When she looked down at herself, she groaned.
    Nothing was hidden. The dress only began just above her nipples, which could be seen clearly through the fabric, and then ended just below her sex. The cleft of her cunt was just a shadow. Should she bend over, the dress would be above her ass cheeks. As it was, the fabric only came down just below the curve of her buttocks.
    â€œAll right. I am dressed. Somewhat.” She grimaced and looked up at the other woman. “What else…”
    The blatant hatred on the other woman’s face took the rest of the words from her mouth.
    â€œFollow me. I’ll take you to him.” The woman turned on her heel and walked through the door.
    Talia paled. She had to walk through the halls in this dress? Taking a
