Chapter 8

“Are you sure about this?” Alfred asked.

Thor shrugged. “Are you comfortable?”

Alfred ran a hand over the soft shirt with its tails hanging out over snug fitting denim. He felt strange, but not bad. “The shirt’s nice. Pants feel a little constricting.”

“They will soften with repeated washing and wearing. Soon you’ll like they way they hold you and make you aware of you mating organs.”

Alfred dropped his gaze from the fitting mirror. He hated looking at himself. “Mating organs. Stark talks like you do.”

“I’ve known the General a very long time,” Thor said. “Would you like to try on others?”

“Aren’t three enough?” Alfred asked.

“For now probably,” Thor confirmed. “Do you require financial assistance with their purchase? I have funds reserved from my work in Alaska.”

Alfred shook his head. “No. I have money… but thank you for the offer. It was enough that you saved me from freezing to death this morning. That’s really all one can ask from someone named after a myth.”

“Freezing you was genuinely an accident. Rime would harm herself before she’d ever allow harm to come to you,” Thor said sincerely. He waved at the outfit. “Wear that out of the shop. We’ll have them pack away your normal clothes with the rest of the purchases. This will tell you if you have chosen well before you wear the others.”

“Very well,” Alfred said, fighting not to be depressed. He missed his dapper red suspenders and top hat.

“Why so glum? It’s not like Rime—your Coach Rime—is asking you to change everything, Fish Man. She’s just asking you to broaden your choices enough to include things your cat might find appealing. Obviously, your cat shifter likes you the way you are, or she wouldn’t have allowed herself to shift into a naked woman with you. Females do not bare themselves to men they don’t like and trust. This is a truth on any planet.”

Alfred nodded. “But I hurt Jeannie’s feelings when I panicked. I didn’t mean to do that. The only females I’ve ever known have been fish.”

Thor laid a hand on Alfred’s shoulder in male support. It was the way of his people and he was starting to like the fish shifter more than he’d expected to. “Every change you’re willing to make will show your female that she is important to you. Achieving your goal is far more frightening than the mere pursuit. Once you have her interest again, you must become vulnerable enough to admit your feelings. There is no more intimidating a creature than the woman your heart has chosen, but she also holds great rewards for your bravery with her.”

Smiling, Alfred put the rest of his purchases on the counter. “Thanks for that, Thor.”

“I speak only the truth, my friend,” Thor assured him.

“Alfred? Is that you?” the sales person asked in surprise. She giggled as she checked out his new clothes. “You’re sure looking great today.”

Stunned, Alfred raised his gaze to Thor’s who merely shrugged. He looked back at the sales woman. “Thank you, Karen.
