Chapter 50

Lex watched with hooded eyes as Maya covered her delectable curves, her face expressionless, even as her slamming of drawers indicated ire.

Didn't she enjoy my touch? Actually, he knew she had. The taste of her-ambrosia, for sure-still lingered on his tongue. Why her displeasure then?

Fabric came flying at him and hit him in the face, along with a terse, "Get dressed."

Confused by the earthling's reaction, and even more by his-I want her back in bed, naked-he dressed in the odd clothing she'd given him. The shirt, with short sleeves, stretched tight across his shoulders and featured a faded picture of a rainbow. A pair of short pants that left his legs bare completed the makeshift outfit, and thus attired, he went looking for her out in her main living area.

He found her in the food preparation area banging around, and he approached tentatively and slowly like one would with a ready-to-bolt Jelaxian mount.
