My heart skips a beat as we stare at each other.

What did I just say?

She blinks and lets go of my hand. “Focus on driving.”

“Oh, right!” I look at the panel again. We’re in the sky, following the passage of spaceships with driving assistance on, so it should be fine. There’s not going to be a kid coming out of nowhere in the sky.

I clear my throat. “I don’t mean to make you uncomfortable.”

“You didn’t.”

So... What does that mean?

Does she like me back?

Do I mean what I said? That I want more than just hook-ups?

I like how her body feels and her smile sets me on fire all the time, but...

I don’t know. It doesn’t feel like I’m smart enough to have her as my mate.

I’m just a meathead that’s not even that good at floatball. Maybe I can smack bad guys and protect her, but she is probably not looking for that in her mate.

Now, icy silence lingers between us.

I silently shout at myself. I just can’t stop making it hard on her... What if she doesn’t want to talk about that?

It doesn’t take long before we arrive at the diversion. I press the button for the light that’ll tell spaceships behind us about our path.

“We’re a few minutes from the taco place.”

“Good.”

Except her voice outs her...

Chapter 29

Winnie

Am I in the wrong?

I was the one asking what he wanted out of our hook-up, and I thought that was what he wanted. To be honest, I wouldn’t be upset, even if he told me that he wanted the sex and that’s all about it.

He is a handsome guy and...

Fuck... There are buzzes in my pussy even when I think about what he made me feel. I won’t mind if we’re just going to hook up with each other, but...

Part of me wants to be closer to him, but part of me knows better.

He parks the spaceship and undoes the seatbelt. “Here, let’s grab food. I’m starving.”

“Sure.” I follow him.

He puts a smile on his face, but his eyes are... not as intense as they were. Maybe he’s deep in thought too.

I just know that I’m not good for him or anyone. I’m not even good for myself.

Wait... Where are we?
