Chapter Eight

Sharian sighed. “I wouldn’t know what to do. I don’t even know for sure what happens between a man and a woman,” she confessed her darkest secret.

“Are you for real, girl?” Caisys asked, in shock.

Sharian nodded, embarrassed.

“Have you ever seen a man naked?” Caisys asked, trying to find the best way to explain the whole thing for her.

“No, I haven’t,” Sharian confessed.

“Not even in a picture?” it was Ashryn’s time to express her surprise.

“No, nothing. We are kept secluded until we’re old enough to participate in the mating market,” she explained.

“And what do you do while you’re growing up?” Neela asked, also surprised.

“We have private tutors that teach us all there is to know about cooking and administrating a house for our mates.”

“That must have been incredibly boring,” Caisys spurted out, scowling.

“It was. I only had my sisters to talk to, but I’ve lost them all along the way since I was the youngest,” she explained.

“You haven’t seen them since they mated?” Neela asked, liking less and less of what she was hearing. People in Borzan had no heart.

“No, we’re not allowed. My parents kept promising I would be able to see them all at my mating ceremony.”

“What about brothers? You didn’t have any brothers?” Ashryn asked.

“Yes, I did, but I never saw them. My mother used to mention them when she visited me once a week, but I never saw them.”

“You’ll have to forgive me, Sharian, but your people are the worst parents I ever heard of. They treat their offspring as merchandise,” Caisys ranted.

“Are you all mated to aliens?” Neela asked, puzzled.

“No, not all. The luckiest females get to mate with our own males,” Sharian replied as if repeating a line she had heard a million times.

“Are you sure they were the luckiest? They would have to bring up their children in the same way you were brought up. Can you honestly say, now that you know more, that you’ve seen more of the universe, that those were the lucky ones?” Neela asked doubtfully.

“No, I can’t. My childhood was terrible, and I would hate to have my children go through such a dreadful life,” she admitted.

“Exactly,” Neela agreed. “The ones that mated aliens had a better chance to find a new kind of life.”

“You’re right, Neela, but we’re going off course. We were talking about Sharian’s sexual education, or should I say the lack of it?” Caisys said, jumping out of her chair and walking to a small desk, in the corner of the room, to pick something up.

The other women chuckled. “We’ll have to fix that. We can’t let her go out into the vast universe without being prepared,” Neela agreed, handing Sharian a new glass of the beverage.

Sharian was feeling a bit tipsy, but she was having such a great time with the women she didn’t want to spoil the moment by refusing to drink.

Caisys returned to her seat, carrying a portable hologram unit. “If we were somewhere else, we might have been able to
