Mission: Planet Biter (Veslor Mates #4)(12)

“His dick,” another female voice stated, startling her. “Mr. Roth here just carried you straight from the decontamination chamber without waiting to get dressed.”

“Roth?” She was confused.

“Me,” her alien grunted. “That’s my name. Remember?”

“No.” She didn’t.

“So, it looks like Brilon is responsible.”

“Who?” That was Roth, her alien, and he sounded as mad as Dr. Kane.

“It’s a pharmaceutical company that puts out shit products,” said a male voice. “You wouldn’t know this since you’re Veslor, but five years ago, they somehow got a pain medication approved. Turned out it was highly addictive and caused internal bleeding with extended use. A few thousand people died before they realized the cause. What we’re detecting inside this patient is one of their drugs that didn’t get approved for use. How in the hell did she gain access to a banned drug?” The male voice sounded closer. “Miss Wade, who was the person who sold this drug to you?”

“She didn’t buy it,” her alien answered. “All the humans down on the surface were dosed with this drug. They were attempting to investigate how they were exposed. My grouping and the other human tactical teams are down there searching for the source. Their doctor left notes, stating it was an act of terrorism. Can you help this female?”

“I’m going to flush out her system and pray it works,” Dr. Kane stated, somewhere behind Vera. “All we know is who made the drug and that it failed trials. Those incompetent idiots at Brilon keep horrible records. They didn’t even share the original purpose of this drug. The scans aren’t showing any organ failure so far or internal bleeding. Just keep her still while we sedate her, Mr. Roth.”

The big body against hers tensed. “Is that safe? My medic didn’t believe so. Something about bad vitals.”

“We can’t treat her with her clinging to you like a spider monkey. It will be fine.” Dr. Kane sounded irritated.

Vera panicked again. They were going to knock her out. “Don’t leave me!” She tried to burrow closer her alien, her nails digging into the skin of his arm.

He held her tighter. “I won’t leave you. I’ll be right here. You have my word, Vera.”

Something jabbed her in the butt. Vera screamed. Then she passed out.



Roth growled as the female became lax against him. The four medical personnel were watching the monitors. He turned his head, staring at the sleeping female. Vera breathed slow and deep.

He carefully removed her hands from his body, ignoring the fresh tiny scratches she’d put on his chest and arm. He rolled off the bed, keeping the thin sheet in place that a female medical worker had draped over his middle, to cover his rod.

Dr. Kane turned, openly appraising his body. “You can go now, Mr. Roth. Thank you for your assistance. Our patient is currently stable.”

He shook his head. “I gave my word to stay with this female. I’m not leaving Vera. What does flushing her mean?”

The doctor moved closer. She was tall for a human but still had to look up at him. “We’re going to push fluids through her body to try to remove the drug. I’m still studying some of the files that are being uploaded from the surface. Their Dr. Hazel tried the drugs we’d normally use to counteract others. They failed. Two of them actually seemed to make the symptoms worse. Since Dr. Hazel had an excellent work record, I’ll trust her notes.” The doctor glanced at his chest. “I never realized how muscular Veslors are.”

He ignored her compliment and turned his head, watching Vera. She still slept but her breathing seemed slower than it should be. One of the females in the room had covered her with a sheet, hiding most of her nude body. That same female rolled Vera onto her back and began opening drawers under the medical bed and placing sealed packets on the edge.

“Mr. Roth, you should leave. One of the nurses will give you a set of scrubs to wear in the next room. You can’t walk through the ship back to your cabin with just that sheet. Although a lot of women would appreciate the sight you make. You’re not married, are you?”

He scowled at the doctor. “I will not leave. I promised Vera that I would stay. Veslors keep their word. I would appreciate something to wear.”

“You’re not medical personnel. This isn’t where you belong.”

He bit back a snarl. The doctor wasn’t listening to him. “I refuse to leave that female until she feels safe.”

“She doesn’t feel anything right now.” Dr. Kane waved at one of the monitors. “She’s stable. The mild sedative we used isn’t having an adverse effect. We’ll keep her asleep until we’re able to clear her system of the drug. Then we’ll reevaluate her condition.”

Roth glanced down, adjusted the sheet, and wrapped it around his waist, tucking it to prevent it from falling if he let go. Then he crossed his arms over his chest. “I’m not leaving the female. I gave my word. I will contact Commander Bills if you attempt to forcibly remove me. I believe he will agree to let me stay. He knows how important it is for us to keep our promises. My human team leader said I was to stay with her.”

Dr. Kane studied his body again, taking her time. “Okay. Have a seat.”

“I would like clothing.”
