Several hours later, the sight of Noarr stepping out of my storage unit made me shriek and hit the door panel controls with my fist.

“What are you doing?” I looked through the wall to the corridor. “Someone will see you!”

“I wanted to see you.”

Something touched me—a large, ridged flipper that curled over the curve of my shoulder. Then the other. Through my tunic, I felt the warmth of contact.

“Okay, you’ve seen me.” I looked up, and the edge of Noarr’s hood brushed my brow. “Noarr, please.”

“You were angry with OverMaster HalaVar.” His flippers slid up, and pushed into my hair. “Why?”

“How did you…” The clip I wore unhinged and fell to the floor. “Excuse me. What are you doing?”

“What I have wanted to, since first I saw you.” Noarr spread the soft, dense weight over my back, then cradled my neck between his fins. The warmth of his breath touched my lips. I forced my eyes to stay open as his face drew closer.

“You’re a very attractive male.”

“I thank you.”

“And there is no way I’m getting involved with you… like this.”

He gazed at me, untroubled. “No?”

“No.”

He wasn’t going to kiss me. He was an alien, so he probably thought kissing was repulsive. “You’re too dangerous.”

“Am I?”

He didn’t kiss me. He tasted me. Pressed his mouth to my face, and his tongue rasped over my flesh.

“Noarr?” There was something extremely unsettling about being in this position. Not the least of which was this sudden, bizarre sense of déjà vu— like I’d done this before. But when? With Kao? “Why are you, um, doing that?”

“I wish to.” Both fins ran down my back and curled around my waist to support me. He lifted his mouth from my skin. Put it next to my ear. Whispered like a lover. “I like your taste, woman.”

Good, I hadn’t made another accidental betrothal, like I had with Kao and Xonea. Now what was I supposed to say?

“Right… thanks.” I shook my head to clear it. The scene with Reever came back to me, and I stiffened. “No. Wait. I can’t do this.”

He set me away from him. “Another time.”

I was in no shape to argue the point. “Sure. Right. Another time.” A thousand years from now.

He slipped out of my chamber, while I sat down weakly on the edge of my pallet and tried not to hyperventilate.

It was a rebound effect, I thought. I’d rejected Reever and Noarr had simply reminded me of Kao for a moment. That was all.

I hoped.
