few steps inside the doorway. “Carrie, we need to talk about last night.”
    Tears formed in her eyes. “I’m very grateful for the….gift you gave me. I will always remember you for that, and the wonderful night we spent together.”
    Unable to hold back any longer, he set the phone down on a side table and pulled her into his arms. He kissed her forehead then trailed kisses down her face to her lips.
    She responded briefly before pulling away. “I can’t do this.”
    His heart ripped wide open, but his arms would not let her go. “Why? Are you afraid of what I really am? Does being with an alien disgust you?”
    Her expression changed to shock. “No, last night was very special. I have no problems with what you are. I will never forget you.”
    He lowered his hands to her waist and kept her in front of him. “Then why? Why can’t you be with me?”
    “I understand why you want to experience other women, but I don’t want to be tossed away when you’re done. I can’t handle that again. It’s easier to just leave this now and remember our one-night stand.”
    Resting his hand under her chin, his thumb brushed across her cheekbone. Her heart was still so fragile after her husband had left her, but he could not let her walk away. “There is a reason I took so long to find my perfect match. It relates to me being an alien, but there’s so much more involved.”
    “Why then?” Even on the verge of tears, her cold words pierced him. “Why should I feel special that you picked me to have sex with?”
    He leaned down to kiss her neck then moved his lips to her ear. “Not only did I want to find a gorgeous woman to share my gift with, but I was looking for more than a one-night stand. Ginnunians mate for life.”

    She gasped. Had she heard him correctly? “For life?”
    His light kisses on her neck sent thrilling sensations through her body, coming to rest between her legs. She resisted the temptation. She didn’t want to go through all that pain again. “Why should I believe you?”
    He stood upright. His hands rested on her arms and he held her with his gaze. The black pools of emotion returned. She saw his fear, his desperation.
    “I can’t make you believe anything, but Carrie, you are my only mate. I never have and never will be with another. If you are not with me, I will live and die alone.”
    After only one night of staring into his revealing alien eyes, she knew he wasn’t lying. They gave everything away. She leaned into his chest and he surrounded her. Her body gave way to exhaustion and her tears flowed. As he kissed them away, she asked, “So what do we do now?”
    Will we date? Will we move in together right away?
    As if he’d read her mind, his mouth crushed hers, his kiss numbing her thoughts. He scooped her up in his arms. “Let’s not worry about the future just yet. You look like you need to sleep.” He carried her to his room and laid her down on the bed.
    As he lay behind her, molding his body to hers, he changed to his alien form. This is my Frey now . His blue, elongated fingers combed lightly through her hair, bringing her a sense of peace. Then he rested his hand on her belly.
    She closed her eyes and heard him whisper, “Rest now my love, because in nine months our baby will be born.”

    Danyka’s eyes flew open. The phone danced around on her nightstand. The numbers on her alarm clock blurred and came into focus. Seven o’clock. Shit ! She’d meant to nap for an hour, but had slept for three. She fumbled for the device, but it stopped before she could reach it.
    Eighties pop music jived from her Android again, sending it into another jig. Grabbing the phone, she pressed it against her head. “Hello?”
    “Dany, where are you?” Her
