  "Where the heck are we?" I said, looking up at the beautiful colors on the ceiling.

  "A haven," he said.

  "Why would I need a haven?" I said, frowning.

  "It's just in case. My mother is a woman who gets her way. I don't know how far she is willing to go to save her only son from making a huge mistake."

  I looked at him, feeling troubled.

  "That's how she sees it, Kenna."

  "I know that. You're going through a lot of trouble for me. I'm not sure why." I looked down at the floor. It consisted of shiny black stone that reflected the dancing lights from the ceiling. "I'm nothing special, Dar. Why would you jeopardize everything in your life for me? It doesn't make sense."

  He gazed into my eyes, and I could see he was not troubled. Not in the least. His eyes were full of something. Was it love? He was looking at me the way my Gran used to. I felt like I was the most amazing thing in the universe, and he would never stop loving me. Oh God. If I fucked this up, he was going to get badly hurt.

  "Kenna." He took my face in his large hands.

  "Yes?" I said, a little breathless.

  "I. Love. You."

  "Oh," I said, drawing in a shaky breath and unable to look away from the intensity in his eyes.

  "You are amazing. You are special. And it will never be any trouble for me to be with you, to protect you, and to make sure that you're safe from harm. Do you understand?"

  He dropped his hands to my shoulders and placed a reverent kiss on my forehead. I swallowed hard.

  "Yes. But Dar..."

  He waited.

  "I never told you that I loved you back."

  He just looked at me.

  "I never asked you to, Kenna."

  "But what if I don't love you? I don't want to hurt you, Dar."

  "I am willing to wait until you know one way or the other, Kenna. And I will accept your decision either way. It is far too late for me to stop loving you now."

  "Oh," I said in a small voice. I looked down again at the pretty colors moving in complicated patterns over the floor of the cave. "Honestly, Dar. I don't think that I'm good enough for you."

  His eyes flashed, and his hand came under my chin, forcing me to look up at him.

  "Don't you ever say that again, Kenna. My mother is wrong in every way when she says that we are not equals. If anything, I am not good enough to deserve an angel like you. But I'm not going to quibble. No one that's going to keep us apart."

  I felt breathless and a little in awe of Dar, so filled with righteous indignation for us.

  He pulled me to him until our bodies were touching along their entire length.

  We were made for each other.

  I thought about that for a moment. Through all of the years that we spent light-years apart, divine power had been closing the gap and bringing us to this moment when I couldn't tell where my body ended, and his began.

  There is no one in the universe that is going to keep us apart.

  At this instant, I felt the truth of those words in my heart, though my mind still refused to believe them.

  "Kenna," he whispered, his face buried in my neck. His hands tangled in my hair. "Do you want me?"

  Ah, he was back to Susohn tradition, now that we were on his home turf, asking my permission to make love to me. I had to admit that it made me as wet as the first time he had asked me, a lifetime ago when we had first met on Dobu.

  "Yes," I said into his ear, my hands exploring under his shirt and running up and down his muscular back.

  He dropped then and lifted the Susohnnan skirt I had put on. Then he planted a firm kiss on my left hip.

  I hissed at the sensations that kiss produced.

  "Why do you do that?" I said, a little breathless. "There's no scar."

  "It is a tradition on my planet that there is no mating without the proper respect being shown. It is how I show my respect for you as a woman and as my partner," he told me. "It doesn't matter that there is no scar. The intent behind the kiss is important."

  For a moment I wished I had a scar. If I had a scar, it would mean that I would feel like less of an impostor. Nothing could make me Susohnnan, but I would scar myself to please him. If it would please him. I didn't know if it would, after all. He seemed to like me just the way I was, unscarred human and all.

  All thoughts of scars were pushed out of my head when he pulled his shirt off. My heart rate sped up just looking at those finely chiseled abs and his well-formed biceps. I swallowed hard. He was so handsome and sexy. How could he possibly love and desire someone like me?

  He pulled my shirt off next and kissed me again. I pressed our bodies together, and I loved the feel of his hardness pressing into my soft breasts.

  "You are so beautiful," he said as he bent down and suckled my breasts. My legs became unsteady as the pleasure flowed over me. He took off my skirt and his pants and laid them all on the floor before we lay down.

  He worshiped my body, and I had never felt so desirable before. My heart felt full to overflowing with some emotion that kept bringing tears to my eyes. I was afraid to name it, even though I couldn't ignore it.

  When I was wet and panting, he came between my legs, but I pushed him, forcing him to lie down instead.

  "It's your turn to relax today," I told him and he lifted his eyebrows but lay back.

  I sucked his big, beautiful cock until he made me stop. Then I climbed on top of him and eased myself down onto him.

  "Kenna," he groaned as I joined our bodies, taking all of him until our hips were pressed tightly together. I supported myself on my hands and began to move up and down over him. I closed my eyes. Oh, that was so good. I needed him inside me. I needed him to be so close to me that I couldn't tell us apart.

  After what seemed to be a long time of me grinding my pussy against him, I felt myself starting to come. The climax was slow to begin but unbelievably intense. Waves of sheer ecstasy rocked me, and I cried out, my voice echoing in the enormous cavern.

  "Kenna," Dar said, as he waited till I was still. Then he drove up into me hard over and over, seeking his release now that he knew I had mine. I felt his passion building, and he held my hips hard against him while he exploded inside of me.

  I moaned and came again from the intolerable pleasure of him thrusting inside me deep and hard and fast. It was the first time I had ever come twice in a row.

  When we were both still, he spoke softly in my ear.

  "Did you come twice?" he said.

  "Mmmm, hmmm," I murmured.

  "Damn, I'm good," he said, and I laughed lazily.

  "Yes, Dar. You are."

  * * *

  Dar and I lay in each other's arms for a long time, talking about nothing in particular until he regretfully said that we had better get back to the palace.

  When we arrived, we parking the hovercraft and entered one of the side doors of the building.

  "I talked to Mana and Jared before I came to see you, and we think we have a plan for stopping the terrorists for good," Dar told me.

  Suddenly, a group of imperial guards appeared around us, blocking our path.

  "Excuse us," Dar said, waiting for them to step aside. But they didn't.

  Dar frowned. "Please get out of our way."

  He was clearly not used to his servants not listening to him.

  "Sorry, your majesty. Queen's orders."

  "I am the ruling king. My orders take precedence over the queen's. Please let us pass, Narrin."

  The guard looked uncomfortable.

  "I'm very sorry, sir, but I've been ordered to arrest you, sir."

  "Arrest me?" Narrin's words shocked Dar.

  "Yes, sir," the man said, looking completely miserable.

  "For what?"

  Narrin closed his eyes and then looked at Dar. I realized that he had not looked at me at all.

  "For consorting with inferior species, sir."

  To his credit, Dar didn't blush. But the guard did.

  "The
old harridan," Dar said under his breath. "I never thought she'd invoke it."

  I looked at him.

  "The statute I was telling you about." He looked back at the guard. "She has no proof."

  "She has a witness that is willing to testify that she saw you going into the oasis. And that you were alone there for some time. It is enough to cast considerable doubt, sir," he said, apologetic now.

  "Who is willing to testify?" Dar demanded.

  "Salya Mayerova."

  Dar's breath hissed in at the name, and I heard him mutter, "That jealous bitch."

  He turned to me, wincing.

  "She's a former lover. One who hoped to be queen and was not pleased when I told her that was never going to happen."

  The guard wasn't done. "The queen mother also said…" he paused, swallowing audibly. "That if you were to refuse to come with me that I was to tell you we will seize the female."

  He looked over at me.

  "And a sample taken from inside of her, as proof that you hadn't had sexual relations."

  All the bluster drained from Dar's body, and he looked beaten. He would never let them test me like that, would he?

  He held out his hands so Narrin could handcuff him. No, of course he wouldn't. Besides, it would only prove their case, seeing as I still had his seed inside of me. We were trapped. And it looked as though Dar was going to be arrested.

  "You admit to having sex with her?" the man continued what was clearly a distasteful mission to him.

  Dar nodded sadly.

  "Well, I admit to making love to her," he said, looking the man straight in the eye. "She is my sheeranla," he said. He had dropped out of Unified, which was the common language that was used all over the galaxy, and back into his mother tongue.

  I wondered what the word was that he had used to describe me.

  "I'm so sorry, your highness," he said, as he placed the handcuffs on Dar's wrists. "I'm following orders."

  "I know, Narrin. I never thought she'd do this to me. Will you take care of Kenna and make sure she gets the safe passage back to Earth that my mother promised?"

  My heart clenched at the thought of leaving him. I didn't know if I loved him, but I knew that I didn't want to separate from him.

  Narrin sighed deeply.

  "I'm afraid that's out of the question, your majesty."

  "What do you mean?" Dar said, looking even more upset than before if that was even possible.

  "If you admit to having sexual intercourse with this female, she is to be taken into custody with you."

  "What is to be done with us?" I said, unable to keep silent any longer while these men talked about me as if I wasn't even here.

  The guard now avoided both of our gazes as he put handcuffs on my wrists.

  "Well, the statute calls for the highest penalty."

  "What's the highest penalty?" I said, looking at Dar in fear now. The situation was quickly getting out of hand. "Death?"

  "No. We would never kill another Susohnnan, no matter what they had done," the guard said. "That's what humans do."

  He looked down his nose at me.

  "What then?" I said, looking to Dar for an answer. But the guard quickly spoke before Dar could tell me.

  "We can avoid this, your majesty, if you admit that you do not love her and say that you will never see her, ever again. There is no need for the penalty to be enforced," the guard said, and there was pleading in his tone. I assumed that Dar knew the man well. There seemed to be a subtext of this whole conversation that I wasn't quite picking up.

  "I can't say that, Narrin. It would be lying. I do love her."

  "But your majesty..."

  "Okay, stop right now both of you," I said, and there was an authority in my tone. I wasn't going to be kept in the dark any longer. "Supposing that Dar is unwilling to tell the queen what she wants to hear. What then? What is this highest penalty if it's not death?"

  The guard looked me in the eyes. His face filled with sadness, and I wondered how long he had known Dar.

  "We will take you to Mount Shassin," the guard said.

  "And?" God, it was like pulling teeth.

  "It is an active volcano."

  I blinked, not sure I wanted to know any more. Maybe I would be happier in the dark. Didn't they say that ignorance was bliss?

  "There is a platform that overhangs the volcanic crater. You will be placed on this platform using a hovercraft. There is no way off of it."

  Narrin hesitated a moment.

  "And we will be left there, Kenna. My people wouldn't actively take another's life. But for the…" His jaw tensed. "…worst criminals in society, we are content to let them die, if circumstances so dictate." Dar said.

  "Will you swear before the court that you don't love this female and that you will have nothing more to do with her, your highness?" Narrin said, trying one more time.

  "Never," Dar said, stepping over to me so that our arms touched. The tiny bit of contact comforted me. "Take us to the volcano."

  The time for conversation had ended. The guards escorted us back to the landing area and forced us to board a hovercraft.

  * * *

  It was HOT. I was sweating already, glistening really, and smoke filled the sky.

  The hovercraft hung in the air over a small platform near the top of the volcano. How had they ever built this thing?

  When I looked down at the volcano, the platform appeared to be about the size of a postage stamp. Below us, molten lava moved lazily. I glanced at Dar with fear in my heart. They were putting us down there? Why was it so important that he maintain his integrity, again? All of a sudden, a little white lie about his feelings for me didn't seem bad. Maybe he should say whatever they want him to say.

  "It's always a little tricky getting prisoners onto the platform," the pilot said. Was this guy talking to himself? "Sometimes we drop them a wee bit to the side. Not good."

  I didn't say anything and prayed that he wasn't going to have an accident and drop us in the volcano. I supposed for a Susohnnan, an 'accidental' death was totally different than intentional murder.

  My mind could barely focus on anything, but the pilot was giving us instructions on how to survive getting onto the platform. "When you jump, now, mind that you aim right for the center of the platform. Sometimes we're all lined up but then the prisoners can't even exit the ship correctly. Not my fault."

  I looked at Dar, my eyes wide with alarm. I was no acrobat. How could I jump off this hovercraft and land on that tiny area?

  If anything, the heat had increased as we approached the lip of the volcano. "Okay, I'm in position," the guard informed us. "Get to the door, you two. And may The Three be with you… because there isn't anyone else who is."

  Another guard had been holding a gun on us the entire time. He gestured with the gun, and we climbed over.

  "Kenna, listen," Dar said, taking my cold hands in his own. "Just keep your eyes on the platform. It won't be that hard. Just make sure you're looking where you want to go, okay?"

  "You've done this before?" I asked.

  "I just wanted to be encouraging," he said.

  The wind was blowing off the desert, and the heat from the volcano was oppressive even from this height. What had we got ourselves into?

  He kissed me quickly, and I readied myself.

  I took a deep breath, closed my eyes, and sent a quick prayer to whatever deity might be watching over me. Then I fixed my eyes on the platform and without thinking, jumped.

  I hit the wood hard and slammed my knees. I hoped I avoided bruises but that might not matter anymore. With a grunt of pain, I got up and moved quickly to the side, so that Dar could jump. I couldn't watch. I didn't want to see if he didn't make it.

  There was a loud thump and a groan and then Dar was beside me, pulling me to him. We were safe.

  Hooray.

  The hovercraft pulled up and flew away.

  Part 5: Capture

  KENNA, ON THE EDGE OF A VOLCANO
r />   I shifted my feet nervously, and I accidentally touched a screw on the platform. I jumped away from the burning hot metal with a yelp.

  "Are you okay?" Dar said, concern in his voice.

  "Yeah, I just touched a bit of hot metal, that's all."

  I could feel my foot beginning to ache, but I didn't complain. We had bigger problems than my foot.

  We were on a wooden platform that had been built to hold Susohn's worst criminals. Mount Shassin was an active volcano — and yes, actually, that is as scary as it sounds. It was hot, there was smoke, and I felt like I was going to melt.

  I made the mistake of looking down into the crater, and I felt my head spin. We were nearly four hundred feet above the lava, according to Dar. Below us, the volcano looked like deadly glowing coals. I wondered if anyone had ever given up hope and jumped. I shuddered at the thought of my fragile flesh being destroyed by the molten rock.

  The heat was intense, like sitting beside an open oven set at maximum times about a million. I felt like I was baking. The sweat was already dripping down my neck.

  It was awful, but I felt that I could handle the heat and the fear.

  The infernal noise was making me lose my mind. As we had approached the volcano, the sounds got louder and louder. Sitting here on top of everything, I heard a dull roar that didn't stop. I felt like I couldn't even think. When Dar spoke, he had to raise his voice for me to hear him over the volcano.

  "Kenna, I'm sorry. I should have just lied. Then we would not be here now," Dar shouted, his face full of regret. "I was not thinking clearly."

  "No. Don't be silly. You had to tell the truth. Then you would be alive but you wouldn't be able to live with yourself." It was crazy, but I knew it to be true. His integrity was important to him. It would kill him to lie, especially in a situation like this. "Besides we're not dead yet, are we?" I grinned to show him I couldn't be beaten.

  "No. Not yet," he said, looking away across the crater to where we could see the capital city in the distance. The palace gleamed in the fading light of one of Susohn's suns as it set. It was mocking us.
