Amanda was still walking funny, but this time for a whole different reason. The plug in her ass was a constant reminder of everything the men had planned for later.

But, damned if she could remember what she’d intended to do before then.

“To’h,” she said as she stepped into the cargo bay and moved toward her ship, “can you explain to me how time travel works?”

“In what way?” the computer asked. If she didn’t know better she’d say it sounded sulky.

“Well,” she said, searching for specific questions, “how was I able to get here from the twenty-first century?”

“You came through a rift in time.”

She managed not to roll her eyes, barely. “What I mean is, To’h, was it just a matter of being in the right place at the right time, or was there something specific to my vessel that allowed me to pass through?”

“It wasn’t your vessel,” To’h said after a short moment of silence. “Anything passing through that area would have come through—miniature tin can or not.”

“Did you just dis my ship?” she asked, not certain whether to laugh or feel insulted.

“I did,” the computer said in a snooty voice. Fuck, she’d put up with arrogant disdain from the men she worked with. She wasn’t sure she could take it from a freaking computer as well.

“What the fuck is your problem, To’h?”

Yes, she knew she was yelling at a computer, but in her defense it had been a couple of confusing days.

“You’re my problem,” To’h said angrily.

“Explain,” Amanda growled through her teeth. She had a feeling that it was more than just her unexpected visit causing this issue. The computer had liked her just fine yesterday.

“There’s nothing to explain,” To’huto said in a dismissive voice. “I thought you were the perfect partner for Karriak and Sektannen. Turns out I was wrong. Maybe I would have picked someone more suitable if I’d known.”

Amanda opened her mouth to yell some more, but the computer’s choice of words was confusing. Picked? She was the only one here. How could To’huto “pick” from a selection of one?

And why did she feel like she was being played? Were computers even capable of reverse psychology?

One thing that was very obvious, though, was that the computer was annoyed by her attitude to sex. She wanted to giggle hysterically at that. Trust her to run into a computer program with a narrow attitude to casual sex.

“To’h, I’m sorry I’m not the one.” The computer remained silent, neither acknowledging nor arguing with her apology. “Please, To’h, you need to understand that I have a life, a career, people who are depending on me. I need to get back to my own time.” Well, that was stretching the truth just a little. Her career was her life, and the only people depending on her were the ones who planned to make big money from her inventions. When it came to friends and lovers, they were both rather rare these days.

Amanda swallowed hard at the realization of how empty her life had become.
