Dawn sat in her chair, aboard her dragonship the Windstalker, and tapped her fingers angrily against her desk. They were heading towards the Cook to drop Ayalia off but that was not the main reason for her ire. She was mad at Nimin. How dare he knock her out and send her back to a ship like a disobedient child? Well she was about to show him she was no child.
~Nimin in my office now!~ she ordered testily.
Nimin received the order and blinked into Dawn's office in a shower of sparkles he stood tall and proud in front of Dawn's desk looking at a spot on the wall just behind her.
"Care to explain to me what the hell you thought you were doing down on the planet? You could have messed the whole mission up," she growled.
"I was saving the mission from you Milady." Nimin said unemotionally, still staring at the spot on the wall.
"What?" Dawn said, her eyes going silver as her growled question sound inhumanly deep, her eyes on him.
"You had lost control Milady," Nimin said unmoved by the change in Dawn.
Suddenly Dawn vanished from behind her desk, reappeared behind him and in one swift movement swept his feet from under him, sending him falling backwards as she disappeared and reappeared in front of him.
Nimin hit the floor heavily, but recovered quickly to get back to his feet.
Dawn was growling and her skin was glowing blue. It hadn't gone to the silver that indicated kill mode but she was close. "I should kill you for insubordination," she snarled as she circled him.
Nimin once again stood tall, his muscles tensing showing a power he knew Dawn saw. "Understood Milady," He replied firmly and without fear.
Dawn's eyes narrowed to slits and she hissed at him. "Insufferable male," she said before vanishing and reappearing behind him as she launched herself into the air, intent on landing on his back.
Nimin spun and grabbed Dawn as she descended upon him, he took two quick steps and pinned her to the wall with his body, and he gave a deep primal growl as he held her to the wall.
"Weakling," she hissed at him, her body suddenly stilling.
Nimin grabbed her hands tightly pinning them to her sides as his body continued to hold her to the wall.
"You do not own me," Dawn said her eyes full of savagery and something even more primitive, desire.
"No I don't," Nimin replied in a low growl, sniffing at her neck inhaling her scent.
"You are like them," Dawn said suddenly, losing the glow to her eyes and skin as what amounted to a look of sadness passed over her.
Nimin stopped his movements, and looked into Dawn's eyes
"Derimic and Sergei. They were not afraid of me," she said softly, sounding lost and confused as she looked at Nimin.
"You intrigue me, excite me, heighten my desires, you are what I want, I should not have to be afraid of you," Nimin stated.
Dawn looked at him in surprise. "You want me?" she said and her mind slid to Ayalia's. She knew Ayalia had wanted another for their third but Dawn was dominant here and her desires would rule.
"I want you, yes," Nimin replied simply.
Dawn gave him a long look and then looked away. Lately she had been feeling emotions and it scared her. Always before she had been emotionless and now everything was changing.
Nimin softly held her head and turned it to face him. "I want you Dawn Huyman," He said.
"But do we want you?" she said her voice suddenly sounding like a blend of her and Ayalia.
"That is for you two to decide," He answered.
Dawn shook her head sharply and looked at him. "No it is for me to decide. I chose her. I will choose our third," Dawn said firmly as she threaded her hands into his hair and jerked his head towards her as she gave him a searing kiss. In her mind she could hear Ayalia screaming no but she blocked Ayalia from her mind. Ayalia had dallied with another and Dawn had not been upset. Now Dawn needed, wanted a male's touch. She hadn't realized it, until that moment, how much she missed Sergei and Derimic.
"Love me," she whispered when she stopped kissing him, her eyes bleeding to silver in her passion.
