Okhet looked concerned.
“Already?” she said. “I think our people ought to be paying more attention to humans than we thought…”
Oops. Did I just encourage an alien race to spy on humans? Maybe it was a good thing, I told myself, but no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t think of many movies where the alien race was actually kind toward us.
I hope I didn’t just send us down the path of extinction.
“You’re descended from apes, right?” Okhet said.
“Yeah. How about you?”
“Primordial ooze.”
“Oh.”
I didn’t know whether or not to feel sorry for her.
“Everyone here descended from one species or another,” Okhet said. “It doesn’t matter how we got here, only how we intend to move on. That’s what my mom used to tell me. That’s why I’m here. I’m looking for my fated mate and there are few better mates than a Titan.”
“Why?”
“Come on, girl, where have you been? Oh. Right. On Earth. With no contact or knowledge of the galaxy. Well, they’re the hunks! They’re the most powerful too. And they’re peaceful. They got to where they are by trading and doing business. They didn’t attack or fight like other species to expand their empire. Everyone likes them. Except for the jealous species. If you manage to land yourself a Titan, you’re in good hands. And here’s a secret not many people will tell you… We’re as exotic to them as they are to us! That’s why they like us. We’re different. And Titan culture is much more accepting of other cultures than many out there.”
I didn’t care how smart or hunky or accepting they were. I didn’t want to be owned by a Titan or any other man.
I would keep my head down and work for the next two years until my debt was repaid. I wouldn’t put a foot wrong.
And then, of course, that asshole chose me…
“Don’t fall.”
