Maya had left hours ago, and Lex began worrying. What if the enemies who’d chased him had captured her? She could be in danger. Hurt. Or walking through the door with a grim look.

Quick strides brought him to her side, where he enveloped her in a crushing hug before he shook her.

“What took you so long? I was worried about you. Are you injured?” Looking bemused, Maya just gazed up at him, the longing clear in her eyes.

Lex gave in without a fight and raised her higher for a kiss. She returned his embrace for a moment before pushing away.

“Hi,” she said breathlessly. “As you can see, I’m fine, so you can put me down now.”

Lex wanted to protest, but clenched his jaw instead as he let her feet touch the floor. Maya avoided his eyes and moved past him into the living area. Crinkling sounded, and once again, flying material hit him. Apparently she had a penchant for throwing things.

He perused the clothing she’d brought him, dark pants of a strange material, a dark shirt, and a scrap of material for the groin similar to what she’d worn.

“Thank you.”

“No problem. You did stay out of sight, right? The military is crawling all over downtown. They’re not really saying what they’re looking for, but the rumor mill has been busy. The one I liked most was the one saying you were an eight-foot green lizard man here to devour our virgins.” Lex chuckled. “You jest?”

Maya smiled and shook her head, her brown curls bouncing. “It’s better than the one that says you’re actually a cyborg set to blow up during the balloon festival.”

What strange ideas these humans had. “And my mate?” Lex had to force the words out, and he could have kicked himself when he saw the slight wince on her face.

“Her place is pretty tight. At least one dog, maybe more, and she’s got at least one military neighbor, but I’d guess with the base being so close, there’s probably more. I wouldn’t recommend hitting her place ’til real late. If she screams when she sees you, there’s no telling what will happen.” Lex at this point would have preferred to never encounter this Amanda person, but the needs of his planet had to come before his own.

“So what would you suggest we do?” he asked knowing he still needed Maya’s help, this strange world being more than he could handle on his own.

“Nothing right now. I’ve got to get to work before they fire my ass.” Work? Lex puzzled over this. He’d noticed Maya lived on her own without male family members to care for her, but the idea that they also made their women work shocked him. The females on his planet held some positions, but the majority preferred the role of mate and mother.

Maya emerged wearing the same outfit as the previous day, a white blouse and skirt. Her hair had been pulled back tightly and fastened to her head.
