Curvy schoolteacher Lexi is desperate—her uncle owes twenty thousand dollars to a ruthless loan shark. To save him, she agrees to a risky interview with a stern, brooding Beast Kindred scientist on the Mother Ship. But Dr. Brandt doesn’t just want an assistant…he wants a test subject. The first thing he demands? To see her breasts.
When Lexi balks at the idea of being taken to a dangerous alien planet for his research, Brandt kidnaps her. She’s the only female with the rare biology to produce “golden nectar”—the substance he needs to cure cancer—and he’s not about to let her walk away. Against her will, she finds herself carried off to Bio-Terius Centra.
What starts as a mission for science soon turns into something far darker and hotter-- a k1nky milking experiment that leaves Lexi torn between fury and forbidden desire. Brandt disciplines her when she’s naughty, pleasures her when she submits, and soon she can’t tell if she’s his prisoner, his experiment…or the one woman who might be able to tame the Beast.
But Brandt swore a sacred vow never to take another bride after his wife’s death. Can he resist claiming the one woman who tempts him to break every promise he ever made? And will Lexi survive being…Kidnapped by the Beast?
A dark, dirty, emotional Kindred Tales Full-length novel—with alien abduction, fated mates, a curvy heroine, m1lking k1nk, br33ding heat, enemies-to-lovers tension, and a stern Beast Kindred Dom who can’t let go.
**Author's Warning--there is some dark material in this book, specifically in chapter 29. I'm letting you know now so you can skip that part if you want to. It's intense, but I promise everything turns out all right in the end.
Hugs and Happy Reading!

ALEXANDRA
“Show me your breasts.”
“Excuse me?” Alexandra Tatum—Lexi to her friends—stared up uncertainly at the huge Beast Kindred looming over her.
To be fair to Dr. Brandt, she was sure he didn’t actually mean to loom. It was just hard to avoid since he was seven feet tall and extremely muscular. His air of austere dominance wasn’t helped by the fact that he was wearing a white lab coat which made him look stern and aloof.
Her prospective boss also had thick black hair which was pulled back and gathered at the nape of his powerful neck, making her wonder how long it actually was. He was a Beast Kindred and his eyes, gleaming like pure, melted gold proved it.
Lexi had never seen a Kindred wearing a lab coat before but then, she hadn’t seen many Kindred warriors at all until she had come up to the Mother Ship for this job interview.
But now she was beginning to wonder what kind of job she was interviewing for!
Her best friend, Natalie—who had married a Blood Kindred and moved to the Kindred Mother Ship not that long ago—had told her the job had to do with some kind of hazardous duty on a distant and dangerous planet.
“That’s why it pays so much,” she’d explained, when Lexi had called her up crying, asking if she knew of anywhere she could make a lot of money quickly. “It’s like combat pay or something. But why do you need money all of a sudden, Lexi? Are you having trouble paying off your student loans?”
As a matter of fact, Lexi’s student loans were a crushing financial burden. She should have known better than to get a Masters degree in 18th Century English Literature. But she had chosen to follow her dream of becoming a professor at an Ivy League school and spending her life sharing her love of literature with like-minded students.
Unfortunately, she couldn’t get a job at a reputable college without first earning a Ph.D. And that was going to cost so much more than the Masters she had earned, Lexi was afraid she would be buried in debt for life!
So she had put her dreams on pause for a little while to get a job and try to pay down the debt—which was how she found herself teaching high school kids, most of whom didn’t know Jane Austen from Alexander Pope and cared even less.
It was a soul destroying job, mainly because the school district Lexi was in kept putting more and more restrictions on teachers and paying them less and less, but she kept at it, chipping away at her student debt a little at a time. She was paying twice the regular payment every month and hoping to be debt free and able to start her Ph.D in a few more years.
The only reason she was able to keep paying so much, though, was that she had moved back in with her Aunt Helen and Uncle Herbert. The kindly old couple had raised her after her parents died and when Lexi had admitted the predicament she was in, they had welcomed her back with open arms.
But none of that was why she needed money so badly—it was her Uncle Herbert’s debt she was worried about paying now, not her own.
Lexi still shivered when she remembered the scene she’d witnessed when she had followed her elderly uncle through the rain last Wednesday night. Uncle Herbert had been acting cagey and looking extremely anxious for months. So when he snuck out to his old pickup truck without telling either Aunt Helen or Lexi where he was going, Lexi had felt compelled to follow.
She didn’t know what she expected to see. Uncle Herbert was too old to be having an affair and he wasn’t one to gamble or drink more than a beer or two at a time. So she’d been surprised when she followed him in her beat-up Honda Civic and found herself on the wrong side of town at a rundown dive bar called Bad Intentions which was known for having some pretty rough customers.
Lexi had kept her raincoat zipped and the hood up as she trailed her elderly uncle through the bar. Neon signs flashed on the walls and the atmosphere was thick was cigarette smoke and the smell of cheap whiskey and stale beer.
Uncle Herbert had gone straight to the back of the bar and walked around a corner, presumably leading to the back room. Confused about what he was doing, Lexi had followed him, keeping to the shadows and stepping lightly on the balls of her feet to keep from making a sound.
Down a dark hallway she saw a dim light shining. Uncle Herbert went down the hall and turned the corner again and Lexi crept after him, staying in the shadows until she could peek around the second corner.
