BROOKE

By the time morning comes, I’m no longer angry. I’ve had time to stew over the situation all night, and I’ve come to the conclusion that while deceiving me into a quasi-abduction was kind of headstrong and uncool…it was also really flattering.

No one’s ever wanted me that much. All of my ex-boyfriends never seemed to give a crap when I broke up with them, as if I was totally disposable. My relationship with my family wasn’t great, and all of my friendships seemed to fizzle out after high school as they all went on to go to college and I decided to do hair. Oh, they’d still call me when they needed drinking buddies for Mardi Gras, but it’s not the same. Even now, the other human girls seem to be closer to each other than to me. It didn’t really bother me too much, because at heart, I’m independent and like to do my own thing.

But…it’s really nice to be wanted.

More than that, it’s nice to be wanted so badly by someone that they’re willing to risk their neck for me.

Granted, if I were back on Earth and Taushen was a one-night stand that wouldn’t leave me alone? I’d be calling the cops. Things are different here, though, and sa-khui don’t think like humans. I can’t think like an Earth person when it comes to Taushen. Everything’s different. I come from a culture where women are everywhere and it’s just assumed you’ll eventually settle down with the right guy and get married and produce a few kids. That you and your husband will get a nice little office job and then spend your weekends shuttling the kids to soccer practice and keeping up with the laundry. That food comes from a grocery store and the toughest decision you make about it is whether you want Honey Nut Cheerios or the plain ones.

Taushen’s world is different. If you want to eat, you have to catch your food, kill it, and store it. You have to portion and prepare for the long winter—the brutal season. You can’t have lazy days in bed and do nothing. And he grew up in a tribe that only had four women for almost forty men. More humans have come, but he still hasn’t resonated, and there haven’t been any single women left to play the field. The more I think about it, the more I’m almost positive he was a virgin when we got together.

In short, Taushen has no clue how to handle a relationship. Me? I’m used to the games. I’m used to feigning disinterest and not calling guys back for days—or weeks—to make it seem like I’m not all that interested. I’m used to playing the field. Most of all, I’m used to not needing anyone but myself. If a guy doesn’t like me? Oh well, there’s more fish in the sea. But poor Taushen doesn’t have the same option. No wonder he feels desperate when he looks at me. I’m the only single girl.
