Chapter Six

Early the next morning, Cindra had to drag herself out of bed. Not only had she gotten very little sleep the night before, but she didn’t know how to face the day. Her life, which just a few days ago had seemed so settled, was now a seething mass of confusion.

After that intensely erotic interlude with Stefon and Tempos, she’d come to her senses and, muttering her excuses, had righted her clothes and rushed back to the farmhouse. They’d been perplexed by her desire to run off and had tried to stop her, but she hadn’t given in. After the incredible ecstasy they’d inflicted on her body, she’d needed some time alone. Time to reflect on her future.

The idea of spending the rest of her days with Adamon no longer seemed as perfect as it once had. But the thought of being without him, of leaving behind the family and farmhouse that she’d come to call home, frightened her to death. Adamon and his family meant comfort and security to her, and without them she feared she’d never feel safe.

What a horrible dilemma.

Her inner crisis firmly in mind, she hurried to dress and sneak out of the house before she could run into Adamon or his parents, who were no doubt already up and preparing for their duties on the farm. She grabbed the basket of fruit and vegetables by the front door, some of yesterday’s crop to be sold in the store, and hurried on her way. To her surprise, there wasn’t a single Spygian to block her path.

“What a relief.”

At least that’s what she tried to convince herself. The last thing she needed was one or more of them around to confuse her further.

She spent a blissfully quiet morning at the shop. That was, until Amra wandered in about half an hour before Cindra’s shift was due to end.

“I don’t understand what’s happening to this town,” Amra grumbled as she walked in the door, her plump, weathered face wrinkled in disgust.

“What’s that, Amra?” Cindra asked, trying for her best friendly tone.

Amra’s gaze traveled over Cindra’s body, her expression showing she found fault with something, not that this was new.

“You need a new gown, dear,” Amra said. “That one is far too tight.”

Her cheeks heating, Cindra resisted the urge to glance down at her cream-colored dress. Yes, it was a bit too small, highlighting her full, non-Keulot-like breasts even under the conservative high neckline. But she only had two dresses, and the one she normally wore was now crumpled in the back of her closet, stained with dirt from last night’s fiasco. Until she had a chance to wash it off in the stream, this tighter dress would have to do.

Giving Amra a bright smile, she changed the subject. “Can I help you with anything?”

“Harrumph.” Amra glanced toward the front door. “Perhaps you can tell me why, in the matter of a few days, we’ve had two sets of visitors, when our last strange visitor to the area was…well, in fact, you.
