How can such a short
story contain both aspects? Well, Molly is searching for the man she loved, the
man she lost. Without enough proof, she refuses to believe he’s dead, and sets
off into space to find him. She gives up everything, leaves family and friends
behind, for him. Would you do that for the person you loved?
And, of course, when she
believes she’s found him, their reunion is hot and heavy. But is everything as
it seems? Has Molly really found her fiancé?
Here’s an excerpt:
“Incoming message,” the computer chimed. “Source located one nautical
mile away, starboard.”
She brushed her hands across the console and brought the video feed from
the ship’s right hand side onscreen. The image quivered, and she groaned when
it finally became clear. A Moloxian starcruiser.
Shit! I just want to go
home. During
her search, the crews of the few Moloxian scavenger ships she’d come across had
been willing to let her pass if she traded with them. But she had nothing left,
only enough food and fuel to reach Earth, and even then she’d be hungry during
the last leg of her journey.
“Play.” She decided to listen to their demands, give them what they
wanted, and move on. She had no other choice. Starvation was a better
alternative than providing the sexual services they’d always hinted at. The
Moloxians, though humanoid, had scale-covered bodies. So incompatible with her
own. She wouldn’t survive unscathed and didn’t sleep around anyway.
“Prepare to be boarded.” The deep computerized voice shook her. No slur,
and therefore not Moloxian. Who the hell was he?
She didn’t have time to contemplate. Her blood boiling, she gripped the
arms of her chair. The creature, whatever species he happened to be, planned to
come onto her ship. No one
boarded without her permission, which she would not grant. At the sound of her
transporter, like the pitter-patter of rain on Earth, she leaped from her seat
and spun around. She grasped her bolt stunner and pointed it at the figure
materializing into solid form before her eyes.
With a huge outline, the
male boarding her ship would only bring her trouble. If his strength matched
his size, she had one option: to kill him. She took in his bare, broad chest,
sculpted abs, and muscled arms. His tanned skin shone with brilliance, as if
the sun rested behind him. She gazed up at his dark hair and warm brown eyes.
He studied her with an intense stare while his soft lips curved into a smile.
She gasped. “Diego?”
