It takes everything in me not to cry. I shouldnât have blown up at Gusar like that, but honestly, why did he wait so long to try to get with me? I mean, I know I pulled away from the kiss that hadnât happened, and if I truly wanted him, I couldâve made the first move.
But I didnât.
Why not? Itâs not as if I had to worry about him rejecting me. I knew and still know that he wants me.
Maybe⦠Maybe I consider him a friend. A good friend. And I donât want sex to fuck it up.
Maybe itâs because Keval and his call are fucking with my head.
Maybe itâs because I want to be important in my own right and not because of between my legs.
Yes, I know Iâm here for a reason. I know Iâm supposed to get pregnant and have a baby or, better yet, babies. I also want to have a career, though. We had been promised that we could have jobs and do something more than just be fucked all the time, but I honestly had been drawing a blank before Gusar showed up. I didnât want to be a doctor or a scientist. A farmer or hunter? No way. Iâm not even sure what other options are available, and itâs not as if my old profession wouldâve been a good fit for here either. Thereâs no entertainment industry here, and Iâm not about to put that heavy load on my shoulders. I wouldnât even know where to start.
Being a homebody, being pregnant with bare feet in the kitchen⦠that just isnât me. I hadnât been ready to have babies back on Earth, but I always knew I wouldnât want to stay home with the babies. I worked too hard at my job, and I didnât want to ever give it up.
When something is taken away from you, you want it all the more. Thatâs exactly what happened with my profession.
Donât get me wrong. I wouldâve been sad to leave the kids with a babysitter or at daycare to go to work, but Iâm not just any one thing. Iâm not just Erin the cartoonist, or Erin the volunteer, or Erin the scouting partner. I volunteered a lot back on Earth, and the more stressed out and overworked I was, the more alive I felt. Honestly, since coming to Kuria, Iâve been dying a slow death. Just being fucked day in and day out isnât enough for me.
Maybe thatâs just because I havenât found the one partner for me. The Novans used to fuck around until they found the one and only they wanted to fuck for the rest of their lives. Sex is enjoyable with the breeders, and it had been back on Earth too, but it never made me want to be up all night long. It never had me wanting to lose sleep and skip meals. Enjoyable but not earth-shattering.
Do I enjoy the exploring, the scouting? Honestly, all of the roughing it by foot yesterday had been a lot of fun even if I hadnât been in the best of moods.
