can’t thank you enough for what you both did for me yesterday.” She faltered. She wanted to add more but couldn’t find the right words to convey her feelings.
    The men seemed to ascertain her thoughts because they both smiled broadly. “You’re very welcome. Now that you’ve had a chance to rest would you like something to eat?” Kor asked.
    To her horror, the mention of food caused her stomach let out a huge rumble and Ty chuckled. “I’ll take that as a yes.”
    Shyly, she smiled back at them and moved to get out of the bed. They both stepped forward and held a hand out to assist her. After a moment’s hesitation she accepted and allowed the men to help her in climbing out of the huge bed.
    Once she was standing she remembered that she wasn’t wearing any bottoms. Even though the shirt she wore nearly touched her knees, she felt a blush creep over her cheeks as she tried to tug the shirt down further.
    Kor noticed what she was doing and smiled at her. “Why don’t I get you something else to wear?” He brought his hand from around his back to reveal a bundle of fabric.
    She didn’t realize what it was at first because she was busy looking at the color. It was a beautiful and rich blue. One of her favorite colors. “It’s beautiful…” she said in wonder.
    He let some of the material drop and she saw that it was a dress. One of the most masculine men she’d ever seen was holding up a delicate dress, which he had obviously bought for her, and looking at her expectantly.
    “I hope this wasn’t also in Ty’s closet…” she said with a nervous smile.
    Kor gave a small chuckle. “No, I bought this for you back in town, before we left. I thought you might like something wear, other than that costume you had on.”
    She didn’t know what to say.
    Kor mistook her silence for displeasure. “If you don’t like the color we can find you a new one at the next port, but I heard that Earth has many oceans, so I thought you might like the color blue to remind you of your homeworld.”
    She gently took it from him and stroked the material, still smiling. “Thank you Kor, I absolutely love it.” She was feeling overwhelmed as she went to the bathing chamber to change.
    From behind her, she heard Ty say to Kor: “You’ve never bought me clothes.” There was humor in his voice.
    It only took her a moment to change into the simple, but beautiful, blue dress and then rejoin the men. She was met with wide eyes from them both that made her slightly self-conscious. She looked down to make sure she had it on right, then finally had to ask, “Do you like it?” to break the silence.
    Ty found his voice first. “You look beautiful.” His sincerity was evident.  
    After hesitating a moment she took his offered hand and smiled brightly. Ty led her out of the room into the hall, Kor following closely on their heels.
    Lacy was led through the ship by the hand towards a heavenly smell. What had to be a kitchen came into view and she was surprised to see several plates of food, already out on a large table.  
    “Don’t worry, Ty is a wonderful cook.” Kor said from her side.
    “Although, I’m afraid that I don’t know any Earth dishes, so this will all be foreign to you.” Ty said as he motioned for them to all sit down on a long padded bench on one side of the table. It reminded her, in a way, of an over-sized booth at a restaurant. She slid in with Ty at her left and Kor sitting her on her right.
    “That’s ok. When in Rome…” she responded. She gave a small laugh at the men’s obvious confusion. Thankfully, she was saved from having to explain by her stomach letting out another loud rumble. 
    “Shall we eat now?” Ty asked.
    “Yes please!” she replied eagerly.
    Lacy tried not to think about how nice if felt to have the solid presence of the two men at either side of her, instead she looked at the plates of food on the table. It reminded her of what she would call “family style” eating, but
