know. That means the obvious, then. I’m still your captive.”
    “No, you aren’t. You aren’t my captive. However, you aren’t exactly thinking straight at the moment, and you’re safer with me than you would be wandering throughout this ship. Even though my men have been ordered to stay away from you …
    they might not be able to restrain themselves if you go prancing through the ship in your current state.”
    “Current state?”
    “You look positively radiant. It’s the fever that is making you look so bloody alluring. If I didn’t have such a good sense of self-control, I’d already be helping you out of your clothes.”
    “Well, why don’t you throw caution to the winds, and try?”
    “Because you are three sheets to the wind.”

    “You have been researching old Earth sayings.”
    “Many of the sayings you Terrans use, we use as well. We are quite alike. Didn’t you know that the ancient Celts and many of your other great civilizations once hailed from our worlds? Yes, they were Gaians.”
    “You are insane. Are you telling me that they came to our planet in space ships only to live without that technology once on Earth?”
    “No. I’m telling you why there’s so many Celtic Ruins around your world. They were once used as doorways to the stars.”
    She stopped in mid-step. “Is that why your Emperor wants Terran females to use as breeding machines?”
    “You would be correct. We are quite similar when it comes to our genetic makeup. The children we would have together would be a benefit to both of our races.”
    She started to unbutton her shirt, while he continued to drone on about the history they both shared. Throwing her blouse on a nearby chair, she reached for the zipper to her pants. She knew what she was doing, and she knew what she risked. But she wasn’t going to let him get the upper hand. If someone were going to be in control, it would be her. She was reaching to the clasp on her bra when he stepped forward.
    “What are you doing?”
    “If you don’t know, then I’m going to have one hell of a fine time tonight.”

    She undid her bra, and watched his jaw drop as it fell to the floor.
    “You’re deeply intoxicated, you don’t know what you’re doing.”
    “Oh, I know what I’m doing … I just feel a bit more liberated than I normally do
    … my inhibitions have been let loose. As far as I’m concerned though, I’m in control. I know what I want, and I know how to get it.”
    He took a step backward. She was reaching to shimmy out of her underpants.
    “You should stop now.”
    “Now I have you at a loss. Now you want me to stop … how very nice. I’ve finally managed to turn the tables on the great and mighty Prince Aries. I should give myself a round of applause.”
    “Stop it.”
    “Why? You said yourself that you wanted me … well, here I am, and this way, I’m in the driver’s seat. I won’t be under your thumb. If you won’t let me go, then I’m simply going to have to make the best out of a very bad situation.” He swallowed so hard his Adam’s apple bobbed up and down. “Well, you have an Adam’s Apple, so ….” She dropped her eyes to his waistline. “Everything else should work the same way.”
    “Work the same way?”
    “Yeah, you know … are you built the same way as a human male from Earth?”
    “I don’t like this side of you, Freya. You’ve become darker. You should stop now before it’s too late. I won’t have you lay the finger of blame on me.”
    “I’m not going to blame you. I told you, I’m instigating this … I want this. I want you make love to me, tonight. We should have something to eat soon, and take a shower as well. I still feel grimy even if you say I smell okay.”
    She could tell that he was having one hell of a bloody time maintaining his control. “You need to go into the bathroom and take a cold shower. You’re
