Chapter 21

The moment had arrived-or rather they had arrived at Kor's planet-and Diana's stomach felt like a herd of butterflies had taken up residence. She clutched Kor's hand tightly, her face taut with tension while she prayed she wouldn't throw up on anybody's shoes.

Kor pulled her death grip loose and hugged her in his arms. "Why are you so nervous?" he asked.

"Hmm, let me see," she said sarcastically. "I'm going to a new planet full of woman-hungry aliens, where the only thing familiar will be my face in a mirror, not to mention meeting your mother for the first time. Gee, nothing to worry about at all."

"I know how I can get you to relax. Let's go back to bed," he whispered in her ear before licking it.

Diana gasped. "Kor, that's not funny. How can you think about sex at a time like this?" Well, that's a dumb question. After all, he is a man, and to be honest, hiding under the covers sounds mighty good right about now.
