He shakes his head. “No, Baby girl. You will age much slower, too, once we get home. You will live centuries with me.”
I stop breathing. “Centuries?” That’s impossible to believe.
“Yes, Little one. We don’t know exactly how long any of us will live, but our scientists predict centuries.”
“Why don’t you know?”
“There was a disturbance in our airfield a century ago. Afterward, everything changed. Our females and elderly aged and died. Our young males survived, seemingly suspended in time. There are no Eleadian females in existence. That’s why we come to Earth to find a mate.”
My head is spinning. It’s a lot to take in.
Dankin hands Papi a blanket.
Papi wraps it around me and lifts me into his arms as though I weigh nothing. I suppose to him I’m nothing but a feather.
“So this pituitary tumor. It’s not life threatening?” I ask Dankin.
He shakes his head. “Not immediately. It’s slow growing. It’s simply making you tired. It’s causing your body to produce hormones that caused some weight gain and lactation. It’s not an immediate threat to your life.”
“But you’ll remove it.”
“Yes.”
“When will you operate?” Papi asks Dankin.
“I’ll take a bit of time to study the tumor in the scan and prepare for the surgery. Why don’t you take Clara to the room across the hall. Bathe her. Feed her. Keep her calm. Prepare her so she’ll know what to expect in her future. It won’t hurt if she has a nap. When she wakes up, I’ll do the surgery. I’ll want to monitor her for a few days before you put her into stasis for transport.”
“Okay.” Papi pulls me closer and kisses the top of my head. “Thank you.”
I don’t have time to ask more questions because Papi carries me from the room and across the hall. He opens another door and steps into a strange room. It looks like…a nursery. But all the furniture is huge.
Papi carries me to a giant crib, lowers me to the mattress, and lifts the side.
I immediately push to sitting, glancing around. My heartrate increases. I’m sort of trapped in what amounts to a cage with four slatted sides. It’s definitely a giant crib.
“It’s okay to sit up, Little one, but stay on your bottom.”
I stare at him as he removes his suit jacket.
“I want to change into more comfortable clothes, Baby girl. Then I’ll give you a bath and feed you.”
“I had a shower before I came to the club. I don’t need a bath,” I argue as I pull the blanket around me. “Why did you put me in this prison?”
He flinches. “It’s not a prison, Clara. It’s a crib. It’s a safe place to sleep. All of our females sleep in cribs, Baby girl. It keeps them from falling out of bed and getting hurt.”
I’m so stunned it’s hard to speak. “I haven’t fallen out of bed since I was a newborn, Kalbrac. I don’t need you to put me in a crib to protect me.”
He’s been unbuttoning his shirt while speaking, and now he removes it entirely. I realize he’s going to change in front of me. The idea intrigues me. I’m almost distracted from my cage.
Kalbrac appears even larger without his shirt on. His chest is so broad. His pecs are chiseled from stone. His six-pack would make any woman drool. I’ve only seen two Eleadians so far. Dankin appeared to be the same size as Kalbrac. Are all of them this large and this built? According to rumors, yes, but it’s still shocking to witness.
“I want you to know some of our customs, Little one, so you won’t be shocked when we get home.” He bends to remove his shoes. Is he going to take off his pants next?
Ignoring his statement, I lick my lips. My libido is in overdrive. The man is ripped. He’s taking my mind off the fact that I just learned there’s a tumor in my head. That should be freaking me out. I suspect I’m relatively calm from the lingering effects of whatever he injected me with.
My eyes bug out, and I stop breathing as Kalbrac removes his pants. He’s commando underneath, and holy fuck… His erection is enormous and jutting out. I’ve only had two partners, but neither of them had a cock as large as that. Not even close.
I should have realized his shaft would be big. It would have to be proportionate with the rest of his body. Duh. But how on Earth could he possibly put that inside me?
I squeeze my legs together and draw my knees up to my chest, hugging them, trying to keep the blanket all around me.
Papi grabs a pair of loose black pants from a shelf and puts them on. It’s almost a shame. I kind of liked the view even though it caused renewed panic. I’m stunned by how casually he stripped in front of me, but I probably shouldn’t have been surprised considering how casually he stripped me in the doctor’s office.
