Chapter Eleven

It wasn’t exactly the good time she expected for two virile, nubile “newlyweds”, but she was determined to make it a judgment free experience.

A deep rumble of merriment escaped from Remar and it took all of her self-control not to laugh at the scene around her.

“Now this is humor,” he commented seeming unable to take his eyes off the life sized holographic images moving around them.

She admitted it was far more advanced than the Extreme Definition hybrid enhancements used for personal viewing back on earth. Still she never imagined herself plopped on an alien world and snuggled up with what amounted to her husband watching vintage Scooby-Doo.

“Your Shoggy and Scoppy Doppy Doo are quite comical,” he said with joviality she hadn’t believed he was actually capable of showing.

“Yeah, hilarious.” Would he care that the cartoon antics pre-dated the term retro? From the antiquated look of the animation and cheesy one liners she guessed the episode to be from the original series, circa 1970. An era in earth’s history still riding the wave of the 60’s style of free love, rampant illegal drug use and the absence of much needed mirrors apparently.

She chose to keep her mouth close.

Maybe it was Remar’s participatory style of watching that made the program pleasing but by the end of the episode she could honestly say she enjoyed herself.

“There are other viewings should you wish to see more,” he said with unexpected enthusiasm.

“No, why don’t we save that good time for later. Ever heard of the concept of too much of a good thing?”

His responding furrowed brows suggested he hadn’t.

“Out of curiosity, exactly how many viewings are there?” she asked.

“Twenty, I have long given up hope that others would come through the aberration.”

His genuine disappointment was magnetic.

She shifted to look up at him as the holograms faded into oblivion.

“They stopped making the program over a century ago.”

“Surely, there are other E’rthrs and their animal companions from whom they can make more anecdotal shows?”

She certainly hoped not.

“I have to say I’m a little surprised by your choice in activity.”

A look of disappointment crossed his features. “You did not enjoy the way we have spent our time?”

“It was nice,” she rushed. “Just unexpected.”

“And what were you expecting?” He pinned her with a curious gaze.

She shrugged, not sure how to honestly answer.

“Perhaps you were thinking of something more suited for our location?” he provided.

Her muffled ‘maybe’ barely made it from her lips before Dallas found herself being pulled across his lap.

“You know that wasn’t an invitation, right?” she asked weakly.

“No?”

“No.”

His hold on her loosened. “Then you are free to go.”

“Just like that?” The question tumbled out too quick for her to catch it.

“Aye, if that is what you want.”

Was it what she wanted?

Hadn’t she committed to making the best of her situation on Chezar? And wasn’t Remar now a large part of her current situation? It didn’t hurt that in spite of how things began for them she did find him very attractive…and the sex wasn’t too bad either.
