court where she had planted a vegetable garden.
    The sun was coming up over the horizon into their courtyard as she settled down with her electronic tablet. It was chilly in the mornings, so she grabbed a blanket and arranged herself on their favorite double-wide lounge chair.
    She didn’t read the news, so she got right back into the mystery novel she was in the middle of. Reading novels was a favorite pastime of Kylie’s. While there were Zehavian novelists, she far preferred the earthly mysteries and romances. It was like visiting home with every book she read.
    By the time Aiden padded into the courtyard, the sun was hitting the stone pavement around her. When he sat down next to her on the chaise lounge chair, she jumped. “You scared me!” she exclaimed.
    “Good part?” he asked.
    “I’m almost finished,” she said, burying her face back in the tablet.
    With a chuckle, Aiden grabbed her coffee to warm it up and get one of his own. By the time he got back, he was surprised she was setting down the tablet. Kylie often said she was almost finished or would finish in a minute, but would continue reading.
    “Thanks,” she said as she reached for the coffee. Aiden sat down on the chaise next to her. He picked up the breakfast plate, handing her a pastry before beginning to eat one.
    “What is the next step for the internship?” Kylie asked as she snuggled in next to Aiden.
    Between bites, Aiden explained, “First we will hear back from the applicants as to what couples they are interested in living with. Then we extend offers of apprenticeship to the cadets. They will make their decisions and let us know.”
    “Do you think there will be any interest?” she inquired.
    “I’m sure there will be.” He met her eyes. Kylie believed his words, but could tell he was trying to soothe her at the same time.
    “Really? Even though I am from earth?” she asked.
    “It will be a barrier for some,” Aiden admitted. “I don’t think men are as prejudiced against earthlings as the women are. You remember how accepted you were by the men on our ship, don’t you?”
    Kylie blushed when she remembered how many of them flirted with her. “Yes, but I was the only female on the ship.” It was true. It was only when they landed on the planet that she noticed there was a prejudice against earthlings.
    “Even so, I know they genuinely liked you,” he insisted. They both knew they also liked the positive influence on his demeanor more than anything. The subject was still sore, since the reason he had been so surly was because he was having a hard time dealing with the death of his friend at the time.
    “Always remember though, Kylie, I love you. I chose you. I have loved you from the first moment I met you.” He pulled her onto his lap. “I could have chosen any of those Zehavians women before I left on my mission. I think I was waiting for you. It didn’t matter where you were from.” His hand slipped into her robe. “You saw me for who I am, not my status, not my heritage or money. I could have had any of the women here, but I didn’t want them. I didn’t want Cheryl. I didn’t want Betsy. I wanted you.” Aiden pulled her in for a soft kiss. “I want you,” he whispered as he cupped her breast.
    Kylie’s eyes got a little misty at his declaration. It wasn’t as if he didn’t say or show his love all of the time, but deep personal assertions were rare.
    She knew he had been much sought after and really could have had anybody he wanted. Kylie let her robe fall open as she straddled his lap, letting her body rub against his as she kissed him. He pulled her robe off. His cock sought entrance to her body. It was a slow coupling. They could discuss the details of the apprenticeship later, Kylie thought to herself.

    The next day when Aiden had gone back to work, Kylie received requests from eight of the boys they had met in the mail. She was astounded. She felt a rush of warmth as she saw
