Chapter Eleven
Last night might have been a mistake.
The thought floated to the surface even as Larissalyia tried to avoid any physical contact with Mac. But the crowds made it impossible. For such an arid, desolate planet, Chaos attracted a great many beings—
human and otherwise. No doubt due to being on the fringe of the worlds held by the F.O.W. The government didn’t monitor this planet quite as diligently as it did others.
When Larissalyia was jostled for the third time in as many minutes, Mac took her hand and tucked it into the crook of his arm. She stiffened as renewed desire ripped through her, but forced herself to relax.
Through the rising heat of the morning, she still felt the warmth of his body from the slight contact. The security of his gesture melted a few of her qualms as nothing else could.
The entire night had passed in an insatiable blur of lovemaking. She had never suspected there were so many different positions or methods to make love with a man. Her limited experience hadn’t prepared her for such a—what was the phrase Mac had used? Mind-boggling encounter.
Despite her doubts, she smiled within the folds of her headdress. An odd saying, but apt.
Perhaps using her scent to enhance the sexual attraction hadn’t been fair, but the pheromones of Kadorians worked both ways. It not only affected the opposite sex, it also heightened her own desires. She’d never used that particular trait before in her few sexual encounters; it had never felt right. Last night with Mac, it felt very right.

Forget About Tomorrow
Neither one of them had gotten more than a few hours of sleep the entire night. Their passion was unquenchable. She was deliciously sore in the most interesting places. All it took was a glance or errant touch and the desire flared to life.
Which was half the problem. A sense of guilt threatened to engulf her.
Last night was everything she could have ever hoped or dreamed of with a lover. But now a stab of pain raced through her when she dwelled on the future. Or lack thereof. Eventually she had to return Mac to his world. This relationship was destined to end. Last night was a mistake and grossly unfair to both of them.
She had taken a blood oath to leave his memory intact and would honor her vow. She had little doubt Mac would keep his word and not reveal the existence of the F.O.W. to Earth. She knew he was a man of great integrity.
Perhaps she should take one day at a time and enjoy what they had for as long as she could. This business with souMalocho would be resolved soon enough. She hoped. When that happened, she could go back to her old life and Mac would return to his.
A depressing thought.
Sighing, she returned her attention to her surroundings. She’d been on Chaos a half dozen times, always in Tutsi’s company. She was somewhat familiar with the layout, but with their twists and turns of the day before, she felt turned around again, unsure of her directions.
