She blinked at the flash of anger in his tone. But… “This is crazy talk. Do you have any proof? If so, prove it to me. Prove to me that you’re not human,” she said, wanting to end this charade right now.
“I am not human,” he repeated. “I am R’Etor. And Iwillprove it to you.”
“Oh, please,” she answered, “you don’t have any—”
And then he smoothed his white hair away from his face, exposing for her the pointed tip of his ear she hadn’t noticed before.
Pointed ears?
She shrugged and snorted out a kind of half-laugh, completely unimpressed. “I did a better job last year with the fake ears I used for my Halloween costume.” She shifted on her feet and shook her head. “And I can’t believe a few minutes ago I was kissing a man who is now trying to pretend to be alien and is walking around Hearst Castle showing off his fake Spock-ears.” It made her want to cry all over again. She was starting to feel like the biggest idiot who ever lived. Her eyes darted left and right, trying to plan her escape from this guy she was beginning to feel unsafe around. She could see a Hearst Castle employee out of the corner of her eye, standing at the end of the path, near the edge of a guest cottage. This reassured her.
Heriot let out a puff of irritation. He pulled out his fancy, super-sleek glass tablet, the same one he’d been using earlier. He tilted it towards her, so she could see all kinds of pictures of their location that seemed to be shot from overhead. And an alien-looking language she couldn’t possibly decipher was scrolling across the screen.
Yeah, that was good, but… “That’s a great prop,” she answered, “but you could’ve had that made just for this con.”
He cursed under his breath, grabbed her arm and pulled her deeper into the garden. They went around a bend and farther from the tour group and the employee she’d noticed earlier.
She was so totally going to miss this tour. She just needed to accept it.
He pulled her into the bushes, and luckily there was a small opening inside. A brick wall that was seat height. Dense shrubbery all around. “The only way for you to believe I’m R’Etor is for me to show you,” he said. And he started to unzip his pants.
She sucked in a breath. Three parts scared and one part totally, totally turned on because the bulge behind those pants was impressive. Which, to be truthful, made her ashamed of herself, lusting after a man who was lying to her.
“W…wait,” she gasped. “What are you doing?” OMG, why had she allowed herself to be alone with this guy?
“You don’t believe that I am R’Etor?” he answered. “I will show you. I’ll give you proof.”
And of course, she had to look because she’d never seen a man’s penis before in real life, and a glimpse at what Heriot was hiding behind that zipper was something she couldn’t possibly overlook, right? Her eyes zeroed in on his crotch. His black trousers unzipped, and he pulled out his massive cock. Her jaw dropped. He was beautiful. Impressive. Thick and long. And it was hard and pointing right at her, begging for attention.
But wait.
“Your shaft, it’s…red,” she whispered. It was a deep red. A luscious red. His penis was flaming red! Like it had been spray painted at a body shop.
What the hell?
She might be a virgin, but she’d watched as much internet porn as the next twenty-something American girl, and this waswrong.
He lifted his shirt to expose his amazing abs and the V of muscles that pointed to the glory down below. And wait, his pearly-white stomach had turned pink and was in fact becoming red. It looked hot and painful. And…she looked back up at his face, realizing this all matched the pink that had been steadily increasing on his facial skin and in his eyes. The color was shifting right now from pink to that bright red, which was even more striking juxtaposed with his white skin.
Holy crap.
“You’re not human,” she gasped.
He wasn’t human he wasn’t human he wasn’t human.
And he’d been trying to tell her.
He hadn’t been lying! Heriot wasn’t a liar.
She’d been hanging out with, and kissing, a man who…wasn’t a man. He was another species from another planet. She bit her lip, trying to slow down her quickened breaths, the erratic thumping of her heart. Aliens were actually a real thing. Not just make-believe in books and on TV. There really was life on other planets in the universe and she was talking to someone from another planet and—
“I’m from the planet R’Etor. An assassin hired to kill Fucyu T’Antor, who is also a citizen of R’Etor. I am here for two Earth diurnal rotations to complete my mission. I have one day left. I leave Earth by end of this diurnal rotation.”
“You’re not human,” she repeated, still trying to process his Crayola-white skin, his silver eyes, the pointed ears, and not freak out. They’d seemed out of the ordinary before, but not alien. But, his otherworldness seemed so concrete now, like a neon sign blinking in the night: This Guy Is An Alien. How couldn’t she have realized this before? He’d shown her his ear and she’d laughed it off! His tablet… No wonder he hadn’t known what the word albino meant. She shook her head, trying to respond with actual words. “Two days? You’re only on Earth for two days? Why so short?”
“My work permit, which allows me access to this primitive planet, expires in two rotations. But also.” He pointed at his chest and she did her best to not stare openly at his erection jutting just below those pinkened abs, but it was difficult. “Because of this, I did not want to stay long. I do not normally look like this. I am suffering from flush, or pigment transformation. It is causing this change in my skin and eyes. And now that this is happening, I cannot survive on this planet without exposing myself to humans as an alien species.”
A sourness formed in her stomach. “You’ll die if you stay here too long?”
