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
