How do I tell the alien who saved me from smugglers that I want him as more than a best friend? I was abducted off Earth, my DNA was altered to fit the characteristics of another species, and I was almost sold off to the highest bidder. That was my life before Phial saved me. My rescue was a group effort, of course, but only one of the crew came on board the smuggling ship to cradle me softly in his scaled arms and promised me nothing bad would ever happen to me again. When some of the alterations of my DNA have us staying on a planet better suited to helping me, I start to heal. It's slow at first but grows over time. As I heal, I realize there's only one male I want-the scrawny lizard man who makes too many jokes and blames his deity for anything annoying he does. I can't deny my feelings for much longer. The only thing holding me back is that I don't know if Phial wants me, too, or if my feelings for him will ruin the friendship we've built with one another.
