He sees Ren is interested but shocked to learn his new friend is not from earth. Darzul knows it takes more than hot sex to build a partnership. While outside threats may force them to work together, that alone cannot forge a bond. Will they live long enough to accomplish their mission and become real partners?

Druid in Drag

The next thing he noticed was the cloying scent. Why did it seem familiar? He and Darzul recognized the odor at nearly the same instant and murmured the same exclamation.


This is where the new drug comes from then, where it’s grown. We’re probably in the middle of a spice plantation or forest. Not exactly a safe place to be found…


Ren turned in a fast circle, scanning for any sign their arrival had been noticed. He saw that Darzul did much the same. As far as they could tell, they were alone in the grove, unobserved. That seemed too good to be true. A commodity of such value must be guarded, monitored, protected…


It was. For an instant, Ren had no idea what he was sensing, although Darzul’s tension conveyed danger even before he sent an urgent warning.
