Page 88 of Alien Jeopardy

Lucy: I’m considering banging him just to feel better

I pause the message I’d been tapping out, completely thrown by Lucy’s. I don’t know why I didn’t stop to consider they were probably all in heat and struggling with it. It didn’t even occur to me that they:

were also in heat

were likely feeling horrible because of point number one

weren’t in love with their partners

Which leads me to point four: I am falling in love with Ka-Rexsh

It’s funny how it bubbles up to my consciousness fully now, the truth of it.

“Are you going to tell them you are safe, hyrulis?” Ka-Rexsh prods, a quizzical look on his face. His tail wraps around my ankle, an alien gesture that makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside all the same.

Ellison: We’re safe

I bite my lip. It feels wrong to tell them we won the luxury reward challenge. It would feel even worse to not tell them I’m not in heat.

Ellison: Rex and I mated. I’m not in heat

Lucy: Holy shit Ell are you okay

Lily: I’ll come find him and kill him if I have to

Ellison: I’m better than okay

Ellison: It was my choice, and I have no regrets

Lucy: Once again, and I cannot emphasize this enough, holy shit. You are the queen of regret when it comes to men. Are you okay?

Lily: I would ask if you’ve been abducted by aliens, but uh…

Selene: Congratulations

Selene: Whatever you do, don’t go back to their planet with him

“That’s ominous,” I say out loud.

Selene: That is, if you get off this one

Right. Let’s borrowthattrouble. Sheesh. Selene is a real ray of sunshine. I frown, thinking it over. How the hell would she know enough about the Draegon to advise me not to go back to their planet?

Weird.

Lily: It’s a space station, not a planet
