“Ah!Andthese are for you two.”Shethrust the garments intoBright’sandBurn’shands.

Burn stared down at the leather hanging from his fingers, his lip curling.

“What thefuckis this?”

Bright looked equally horrified.

“There’s not enough fabric here to cover much of anything,” he pointed out.

Noelle felt bad for both of them.Thetwo warriors were still dressed in their black flight leathers and heavy black boots — a look of power and presence — but the alien was apparently eager to strip that away.

“The theme,” the alien announced, as though unveiling a masterpiece, “is the beautiful princess and her two barbarian bodyguards!”Sheclapped her hands delightedly.“Isn’tit marvelous?”

“No,”Burnsnarled.“It’sfucking ridiculous.”

The alien’s voice sharpened like a blade.

“It’srequired.Nowget dressed — we are on a deadline.”Shelifted the pain-collar remote, her thumb hovering just a little too casually near the glowing green buttons.“Don’tmake me remind you of the consequences.”

Noelle swallowed hard.Shedidn’t need this right now—she really didn’t.Herbreasts were feeling tender again — painfully so — and the ache between her thighs hadn’t fully faded since morning.Everybreath brushed her chest against the inside of the red silk negligeeLupinhad forced her into yesterday, and each tiny movement sent a tingling ache through her nipples.

Madre deDios… wasLupinright?Isthis becauseIdidn’t go back and get the second treatment?Issomething happening to me?

But she couldn’t think about that now.Notwith the threat of the pain collars hanging over all their heads.

Hands trembling, she reached for the straps of the red negligee and began to pull it over her head while making absolutely sure she didn’t let her fingers brush her bare skin.Oneaccidental touch, and the collar would shock her again—she didn’t want that.

She shivered violently as the cool air struck her skin, goosebumps rising across her breasts and belly.BrightandBurnimmediately shifted their bodies to shield her from view, but the alientskedsharply.

“Oh no, no, don’t hide her.Imust see what the buyers will be bidding on.”

Burn growled, low and savage.

“Touch her andI’ll?—”

“You’ll donothingunless you want a full collar discharge,” the alien said sweetly, waving the remote.

Noelle slipped quickly into the shimmering green gown… and gasped.

“BlessedVirgin, no!Ican’t wear this in public!”

The dress didn’t cover her at all.

Two perfectly round openings were cut in the top, leaving her breasts and nipples exposed.Below, the long skirt of the gown had a deep slit up in the center that opened right over her pussy, baring her completely.

Heat rushed toNoelle’scheeks as she tried instinctively to cover herself…

Only to feel a sharp jolt that snapped through her fingers and down her arms.

“Ouch!”she gasped, snatching her hands back.“Thathurts!”

“None of that now—no covering the goods,” the alien chided.“Youmust wear it as designed.Or…” she wiggled the controller again, “You’llwearpain.”

Noelle forced her hands to her sides, her fingers squeezing into helpless fists.She’dnever felt so naked…so vulnerable…so violated.

And there was nothing she could do about it.

Bright stood stiffly at her left side, his jaw clenched so tight a muscle ticked in his cheek.Burnlooked ready to tear the entire dressing room apart with his bare hands, his massive body coiled with fury, eyes flaring red at every exposed inch of her.
