Prologue
Since the moment she stepped off the shuttle, Torr had been all up in her business. That wasn’t all, he had made it plain that he wanted them to get to know each other much better. It was his plan, but it wasn’t hers. Unfortunately, while she managed the program to bring those from her world that qualified to Draconis and its other worlds, Torr, the emperor was the one she handled the program for.
Torr would be involved every step of the way and she would be forced to deal with him. He would do what she needed to make this program all it could be. She would be the ambassador between his world and hers.
Kitty worked hard on her computer and when she looked up, there he was again. “It’s lunch time Kitty. Come to the cafeteria with me and we can discuss this program in more detail.”
“Fine.” She replied as she turned off her computer and joined him.
Eating meals together was becoming a habit. For now, she would allow it since she needed his help to make changes and get funding. That was the only reason, really. His good looks and the fact that he was likeable meant nothing. Really.
For now, she would go along with things to a point, but a time would come when she would have to break free from this routine and tell him she wasn’t going to be his.
