Some ten minutes later, Terena managed to refasten her blouse despite her less than steady hands. Hah-Tee had retrieved the shirt she'd pulled off him but hadn't put it back on. His unselfconscious stance helped her achieve the same state of mind. They'd had sex, and nothing she said or told herself would change that simple fact.

"I'm not going to talk about what happened," she said.

"Maybe it's better that way." He indicated the ancient houses above them. "I've wanted to come here."

"Why haven't you?"

He sighed. "There's only so much I can accomplish in the time I have as a man, so much I want to learn."

"As a child, I took Oraibi and the other villages for granted." She debated saying more. "Then I went away to college and discovered the world beyond the res. I insisted I wasn't going to get trapped here."

"But you returned."

"Some things piled up on me. I needed a break, so I could reassess what I want out of life."

He stepped close and ran his big, strong hand through her tangled hair. "Instead, you found us."

"Yes." Her body still sang from the aftereffects of two climaxes. "And now I'm trying to figure you out. My issues are no longer the only things on my mind."

Hah-Tee ran his hand over his chest. He seemed to stand a little taller than he had a moment ago and was no longer looking at her.

"What is it?" she asked. "Is someone here?"

"No."

"You're going to change, aren't you?"

"Yes."

"Do you want to?"

He looked down at the ground, then back up at her. "I'm not sure."

"What do you mean?"

He closed his eyes. "I didn't know things would become so complicated."

"Neither did I."

Opening his eyes, he stared at her. Was that expression one of vulnerability?

"I needed what we did," she admitted.

His gaze relaxed a little. "I did too. More than you can understand." He turned as if to leave.

"Wait. I need to know something. Does it bother you that I had sex with Nokoni before you and I did?"

He stared at the ground where ants crawled in and out of a hole. "I don't know. A stallion has no emotions where a mare is concerned, but this is different." He pressed his temple. "I'm different."

He was still determining his place in the human world, just as she was trying to decide what she wanted out of life. Thinking to tell Hah-Tee that, she extended her hand toward him. His outline was becoming less distinct.

"You're leaving."

His fingers clenched. "I have no choice."

Don't go. "Will you see Nokoni?"

His nostrils flared. "Yes."

"Tell him—tell him—never mind."
