It was not traditional Titan music, which tended to be loud and boisterous and full of energy. This was different. It was sultry and deep. Her voice was gorgeous and thick like velvet.
Her eyes were closed during most of the performance and her body gently swayed side to side. She ran her hands over her body and more than one mouth fell open. Even the bartender, who must have been used to all kinds of performances, stopped wiping his glass and watched.
Mesmerized.
All eyes were on her.
My eyes were on her.
I couldn’t stop staring. She sang about fire, fever, and passion. She could have sung about shuttlecraft replacements parts and it would have had the same effect on me.
I glanced out the corner of my eyes and quickly readjusted myself. I was thankful I was wearing my loose-fitting costume.
She hit the final note and opened her eyes. She looked at me and smiled that gorgeous wide grin of hers.
I was hooked.
When the lights came up and the darkness was removed, the other lords and ladies rose to their feet and clapped, cheering the performance. I did the same. It was nothing like anything I’d ever seen on Titan before.
Sirena took a deep bow. She clapped the musicians behind her, who nodded their thanks.
I didn’t know who she was or the location of this planet she came from, but I was definitely going to find out.
I waited for the other shows to finish, hoping Sirena might perform an encore, but my hopes were dashed.
“Thanks for listening to our performances tonight,” a skinny Titan musician said after the final act. “If you’d like to book us for future performances please contact…”
I phased out the rest of what he said and downed the last of my fifth mojito. Oh well. At least I got to enjoy her company for a little while. And her singing. Wow. I’d be dreaming about that act for months to come.
The entire evening felt like something written in the stars, as if it were meant to be. She looked so much like my wife, sounded like her, acted like her, smelled like her…
Tasted like her?
I growled at myself and stumbled in the direction of Zes’s table. He sat upright with his head thrown back, snoring even louder than usual. I’d wake him up and help him to his room.
Each time I blinked, I saw her. The way her dress plunged down the front, revealing her sexy voluptuous figure, and the split up one side, revealing a toned leg.
Maybe I should call on her. Maybe I should let her know I was interested…
Who was I kidding? She probably had a guy. Maybe even a few guys, stringing them along with empty promises. A woman like that could have any guy she wanted.
“Still here, Kal-i?”
Her deep voice sent a shiver up my spine.
I glanced over at her in an attempt at playing it cool.
“Yes,” I said.
My voice squeaked. So much for playing it cool.
“I thought I might as well catch a few more performances while I’m here,” I said.
“See anything you like?” she said, her hands on her hips and staring me in the eye.
I gulped. Plenty.
“I thought… I thought they were all good,” I said. “Would you like a drink?”
