a dick they wouldn’t mind using.
    I try not to focus on the negative, but it’s hard when the ship is completely silent. Even though there are plenty of people on it, the ship is so big that there is almost never any noise. When I imagined spaceships as a kid, I pictured noises and whirring and sounds, but strangely, everything seems quiet.
    Much quieter than Earth.
    Even as the planet was falling apart, people were loud. Babies cried, people sang and yelled and shouted. There was always something happening.
    Now I’m sitting in a sterile room just waiting for something.
    After a long time, Ruby returns with Jenika. They’re speaking in the other language, the one I can’t understand.
    Ruby is motioning wildly at my body and I immediately try to cover myself, but Jenika doesn’t seem bothered by my nudity. If anything, she seems curious. She eyes me with surprise and perhaps a bit of uncertainty, but finally, she speaks to me.
    “You’ve never been fucked?”
    I shake my head.
    “Not even at all?”
    “No,” I whisper. “Not even at all.”
    “Are you a prude?” Jenika asks.
    “Um, no,” I mumble. Suddenly, I’m a bit embarrassed by my lack of experience. I really talked myself up about it, but now that it’s go-time? Now I’m a little nervous. “I just never had a chance.”
    “Oh, this is good,” Jenika says, rubbing her hands together like she’s coming up with an evil plan. “He’ll like that.”
    “Who?” I ask.
    “The King, of course,” Jenika waves her hand away. “We’ve never had a human virgin before. He’ll want you. Of all the girls, I guarantee he’ll pick you.”
    The King?
    “You have a King?”
    “Yes, he’s very handsome,” Ruby says, a little dreamily.
    “What would he want with me?” I ask, and both women just start laughing.
    “Oh, doll,” Ruby says. “We have a lot more to work on than your body hair. A lot more. Best we get started.”
     
    ***
     
    The two women are in cahoots with Hal and they all come up with a plan for making me as fit for the King as possible. I have no idea if their plan is going to work or what the consequences for failure might be, but they seem certain they can whip me into shape before we reach Taneyemm.
    Apparently, the King is notoriously picky about his females and never keeps a woman for very long. Oh, when he’s done with them, he sends them to the countryside to live in this mansion with the other females he’s given up on, but apparently the planet is tired of him not having a proper queen, and he’s been given an ultimatum.
    Basically, that’s where I come in.
    Jenika is going to teach me the language. The other girls will learn a small amount when they’re woke prior to our arrival, but after four years of speaking, I should be able to communicate very well. That’ll be points in my favor, but there are plenty of other things I need to learn about Taneyemm.
    Ruby volunteered to teach me about pleasing a man. Jenika wants to watch those lessons, but I’m not sure why. Perhaps she wants to see that I’m learning correctly. Maybe she’s just horny. I don’t know. Hal doesn’t care and he’ll focus on teaching me the traditions and customs of Taneyemm.
    All I know is that four years doesn’t seem like a long time to be primed for a possible marriage when there’s no guarantee the King will even want me.
    I’m just a human and he’s…well, if what Hal says is accurate, he’s an alien dragon with an insatiable appetite for women.
    And me?
    I’m just a virgin.
    How can I possibly be enough for him?
     
     

Chapter Five
     
    Four years later
     
     
    By the time we land on Taneyemm, I’m accustomed to the light. The other girls aren’t quite as lucky and most of them still wear large, dark glasses to shield their eyes from Taneyemm’s sun.
    Me?
    I just look around. I try to take it all in. This is my first time seeing another planet and I don’t want to miss a damn thing.
    After four years of training, I’m
