Clarabelle paced inside the ship. She didn’t want to stay on this planet, but at the same time, she did need to prove a point to him and nothing more.

Soulmates indeed. The guy had a freaking tail. And glowing eyes. And broad shoulders. Did he have wings, too? She’d not yet seen his back. The lack of lumps under his cloak seemed to indicate a flat surface, but the same cloak had also hidden the tail.

As if she’d ever hook up with a guy sporting extra body parts. She knew some of the orphans were okay with it, but she found herself averse with no clear reason why.

Perhaps she should try and look past her prejudice to see the man and not the tail. Would the appendage between his legs be as expected or shocking? He claimed it was big. How big? He’d probably show her if she asked.

She shook her head to dispel the thought.

“Are you done sulking?” Ishtara’s voice broke through her mental pacing.

“No, as a matter of fact, I’m not. How could you?” she said, whirling to face Ishtara.

“Not tell you possibility the planet was inhabited by non-humans?” Ishtara shrugged. “You would have said no.”

That actually wasn’t what she’d been about to ask. “Is that why you took his side instead of mine?”

“I do not understand your irritation. Our quest was to find compatible companions for you and the other orphans.”

“Human ones!”

“Which, as you’ve discovered, is harder than you thought.”

“They exist,” she said, her lower lip jutting.

“Yes, and he is the one with their location. Meaning you need to stop whining about the deal you’ve struck and make the most of it.”

“I am not whining. I don’t like being forced.”

“Then we leave. I will prep the ship.” Ishtara moved from the doorway.

It took her a moment to yell, “Don’t.”

Her friend hadn’t gone far. Ish peered around the jamb. “Yessss?”

The petulance shone in Clarabelle’s reply as she said, “I’ll give him his eight bloody days.”

“Was that so difficult?” Ishtara asked.

“It’s—" The ship jolted. Clarabelle’s eyes widened. “What’s happening?”

“The Spa’Rtk’un don’t allow surface vehicles to sit for long. They’re parking us in one of their underground hangars.”

Trapping them.

Since Ishtara didn’t seem worried, Clarabelle feigned nonchalance as well.

“Do you know where we’ll be staying?” she asked.

“I’ll be remaining aboard the ship, monitoring the repairs Thyos has offered to have made.”

“You make it sound as if I won’t be.”

“Your bargain is to spend your time with him.”

“Alone?”

Clarabelle probably deserved the snorted, “Is that fear I smell?”

She threw back her shoulders. “If he thinks I’m going to spread my legs for him…” She had a knife that would solve that problem.

She packed a rucksack of clothes, a few weapons, and a scanner to check all food and drink for narcotics. Last thing she needed was to be roofied and wake up with morning-after regret. As for booze, she’d steer clear of it.

The ship jolted a few more times before it stilled. When it appeared to be done moving, she took a deep breath and made her way to the exit chamber.
