"You think we would force you?" Aris rose from the chair and stared at her.
"You kidnapped me and stole my clothes."
Aris settled down. "Well, there's that."
Kane's gaze hadn't left Nyx's face, and he was making her nervous.
"I'm a prisoner," she pointed out. "You could've let me die, but you didn't. And apparently, you're not trying to kill me. What am I supposed to think?"
"We have a proposal," said Kane.
Aris snorted and plopped back into the chair. He crossed his arms and took a supreme interest in the ceiling.
"I'm listening." Nyx stayed where she was, between the wall and the king-sized bed. Wary didn't begin to cover how she was feeling. What the hell did these guys want?
"We were sent by our leader to kill Dennie."
"Your so-called friend?"
"Dennie is our leader's half-brother. He's banned from the colony."
"Too much competition for that asshole," said Aris.
