Forbidden by Kallista Dane

Kalani:
I am forbidden.
Forbidden to feel a man’s touch.
Forbidden to taste his lips on mine.
Forbidden to know the savage thrill of making love.
Dedicated to the Goddess as a child, I led a sheltered life in the Temple. Until I woke on an alien starship.
Now a hulking seven foot tall warrior says I belong to him. He means to claim me. I tried to tell him my vows will not allow it. If he dares to touch me, we will both die.
But he doesn’t believe me…

Guryon:
My world is gone. My people are dead.
Men, women, children—killed by the Rydek, an unknown enemy with unlimited powers of destruction.
We’re all that’s left of the Arythian civilization. One squadron of elite warriors and a small fleet of starships. The enemy is out there somewhere in the vast expanse of space. To defeat them, we must learn all we can about our foes. Discover their weaknesses. I am heading a mission to track down the Rydek and bring one back. Alive.
Our leader presented me with a beautiful human slave. He says it’s my duty to mate with her before I go, to assure the survival of our race. But I know the truth. I volunteered for what may be a suicide mission—and he wants me to have one final night of erotic bliss before I die.
The sight of this sultry, exotic female awakens dark hungers in me, hungers demanding to be satisfied. There’s only one problem. Though I ache to make her mine, she says I cannot touch her.
She says it will cost me my life—because she is forbidden.
