His groan of pleasure filled her with joy. Never, she thought, never had she dreamed that love could be so wonderful, so beautiful.

Locked in each other’s arms, they sank to the ground. Heart pounding, Kara lay back while Alex undressed her with gentle hands, his dark eyes aglow with love and desire. And then he was kissing her again, his tongue moving over her like a flame of fire.

She drew him deep inside her, wanting to shelter him, to shield him, to absorb him into herself.

“Alex!” She cried his name aloud as his body merged with hers. Her nails raked his back, fueling his desire, until she writhed beneath him. “I love you,” she gasped.

“Love you!”

The words rose in her throat, repeating themselves over and over again as he carried her higher, higher, until they soared above the earth, bodies and souls melded into one.

Natayah…

She heard his voice in her mind, an exultant cry as she shuddered to completion beneath him.

Kara, ah, Kara …

She felt his warmth spill into her, filling her, and then he buried his face against her shoulder, his body trembling convulsively.

“I love you, Alex.” She whispered the words as she stroked his hair. “I love you so.”

Much later, after a leisurely soak in the hot spring, they lay side by side in the moonlight. Kara gazed up at the stars, wondering again which one was his. There was so much about him she didn’t know.

“You’re very quiet,” Alex remarked. “Is anything wrong?”

“No. I was just wondering … do your people believe in God?”

“Of course.”

Turning on her side, she raised herself on her elbow so she could see his face.

“Tell me what you believe.”

“Our beliefs are much like yours. We believe in one God, a superior Being who created the universe. It is against our laws to steal, to kill, to lie.”

“Do you have churches?”

“Yes.”

“Do you have more than one religion?”

“No. In that, my people are different from yours.

Every race of people I’ve ever encountered believes in a Supreme Being, but it is the same God, Kara. It doesn’t matter whether you call him Wakan Tonka, Elohim, or Allah. He is the same. Omnipotent. Eternal. Without beginning of days or end of years.”

Kara nodded. What he said was what she had always believed. She remembered a scripture she had read once that had stuck in her mind: “Worlds without number have I created; and I also created them for mine own purpose … For behold, there are many worlds that have passed away … And there are many that now stand, and innumerable are they unto man; but all things are numbered unto me, for they are mine and I know them … .”

“Were you … are you a religious man?”

Alex nodded, the burden of killing Rell pricking his conscience. But he did not regret killing the man; he would do it again even though he knew it was wrong.

“Have you been to other planets?”

Alex turned on his side to face her. “Some. People are the same wherever you find them, Kara.
