“According to what we were told by Dr. Williams, humans are
very interested in the mating process, especially for procreation.”
“Sometimes,” he conceded. “Other times it’s nothing more
than a tumble between the sheets.” He depressed the accelerator even farther
and reset the cruise at one ninety. He needed to get them back to the main
highway as soon as possible. This conversation was headed in the wrong
direction, just as they’d been during the previous day’s storm.
Much to his chagrin, Alora wasn’t quite finished with the
subject. “I accessed the databanks in Dr. Williams’ office to do some research
on the mating habits of humans. After Fiona died, I wanted to see for myself if
it was as horrible as she’d envisioned.”
“And, what did you find?”
“A lot of technical terms. None of which made sense to me.”
She paused and drew a breath. “Fornication, for instance.”
He bit his lip, fighting back a chuckle. “Yes?”
“This is the word your species has given to the act of
coupling between men and women?”
“One of them. There are other names for it.”
“Oh, yes,” she agreed. “I found those in the archives as
well. There was...uh...coitus and copulation.” She tapped a finger to her
forehead, struggling for more euphemisms. “Sex. I found that one interesting
since it’s also the word used to define the difference between male and female
orientation.”
“Let it never be said there aren’t many routes to the same
end when it comes to the English language.”
“And then, there were the...uh...slang terms.”
Oh boy. Liam shook his head, drew a breath for calm, and
waited. In an effort to avoid Alora’s take on slang, he asked, “What do you
call the mating process on Tethys?”
“Simple. It’s referred to breeding. A term, I might add,
once used on Earth when referring to animals.”
“The term was also used for humans in some cases.”
Alora sank back into the seat, released a long sigh, and
turned her attention to the passing scenery. A few minutes went by before she
spoke again. “Hump, screw, and fuck.”
Liam burst out laughing, unable to stop the welcome release.
“You’re a quick study, Alora of Delawon.”
“May I ask you something?”
His shoulders rose and fell on a deep shrug. “I suppose.”
“How many women have done the fuck with you?”
He almost choked on a second round of laughter. “A few.”
“And, did you enjoy it?”

predecessors their very lives.
Alora of Delawon is an
alien princess who holds the key to the survival of mankind. With the women of
the United Republic left barren by previous chemical warfare, Alora’s ability

fighting off raiders, survivalists, and an unexpected attraction to one
another.

in danger? Or, will their being together become more important than the

AUTHOR Bio and Links:
Like most authors, Nancy Fraser began writing at an early age,
usually on the walls and with crayons or, heaven forbid, permanent markers. Her
love of writing often made her the English teacher’s pet, which, of course,
resulted in a whole lot of teasing. Still, it was worth it.
Published in multiple genres, Nancy currently writes for four
publishers. She has published twenty-four books in both full-length and novella
format. In November 2016 Nancy celebrated twenty years as a published author
and will release her 25th book in mid-2017.
When not writing (which is almost never), Nancy splits her free
time between her five grandchildren. She’s also an avid traveler with Las Vegas
being her favorite destination. Nancy lives in Atlantic Canada where she enjoys
the relaxed pace and colorful people.
