Prologue Pale green eyes, glowing in the darkness. Savage eyes…a beast’s eyes. Imani put up a hand to ward them off. They were coming for her—coming and there was nothing she could do to save herself—nowhere to run, no place she could hide. The eyes would find her and then… She woke up with a start, her heart pounding, her palms sweating. “Stop it,” she told herself out loud, wincing at the sound of her own voice in the darkness. “Stop it, it’s just a dream. Only a dream!” But she couldn’t stop herself from searching the dark confines of her bedroom aboard the Kindred Mother Ship. Couldn’t stop thinking that she saw those eyes watching her…waiting for her. Waiting for what? Imani didn’t know but she was desperately afraid she was going to find out… One “I’m sorry, but I just can’t wear this—especially not to argue a case in court!” Imani Williams looked down at the crazy outfit her new friend and advisor, Kat, had put her into with shock and dismay. It looked like something she might wear if she wanted to dance around a silver pole at a strip club—not a respectable ensemble she might put on to go to a courtroom.

But Kat had given her tiny little devices called “float dots” to use which, when applied to the bottom of each breast, right where they met her chest, caused her boobs to lift effortlessly and look positively perky. The float dots were nice, Imani had to admit, but putting her breasts on display like this most certainly was not. The bottom part of her new courtroom attire was a long, tight skirt, a darker shade of pink than the barely-there lace top. It would have been okay if not for the slit up the middle which went all the way to her navel. There was a lace panel which covered her panties—also made of lace—but it didn’t do a very good job since it was mostly see-through and extremely short. “I can’t go into a courtroom on another planet looking like a prostitute!” Imani said, turning to Kat. “You won’t look like a prostitute, doll—you’ll look like a high-powered female
