The soft morning light and the sound of the third-lane traffic. Filtered through the thick glass of the hotel’s window as I slowly opened my eyes. Moses lay beside me, on the queen-size bed. His body was warm and comforting, one arm draped across my waist. My body was aching pleasantly from the night before, memories of our passionate encounter flooding my mind.
The holographic clock reads 7:45 AM. I studied Moses’s face in the quiet morning light—the strong line of his jaw, the gentle curve of his lips. He was so different from my husband—attentive, and present. When his eyes opened, they met mine immediately, filled with a hunger that made my breath catch.
“That perfume,” he murmured, pulling me closer. His lips brushed my neck, sending shivers through me. “I noticed it last night. Absolutely intoxicating.” I felt a rush of pleasure, knowing I had chosen it precisely to entice him.
We both slid out of bed and made our way to the bathroom. The steam from the shower rose around us, transforming the small space into an intimate world. Pressing my palms against the cool tiles, I felt Moses behind me, his strong hands gripping my hips. His touch was both possessive and reassuring.
After months of neglect from my husband, feeling invisible to him. Moses made me feel alive. Every touch was a revelation, and every shared moment fulfilled something deep within me. He was deliberate, powerful—a mature man who knew exactly what he wanted and how to take it.
Hot water cascaded over us, blurring the boundaries of where his body ended and mine began. I arched my back into him, a growl escaping my throat. This wasn’t just sex. It was passion and connection.
“Mine,” he announces into my ear, his breath hot and his Dick moving possessively in my pussy. I didn’t respond with words but with the arch of my body, the press of my ass closer to him. In this space, I belonged, to the moment and our passion.
Our rhythm syncing, slow and deliberate, builds intensity. I slid one hand from the wall to stroke my clitoris. Trying to match the timing and feel of his movements. Together, we searched for that moment of shared release.
“That’s right, my tigress. Let me feel you tighten around me,” he urged, his voice low and commanding.
As if he could sense my growing pleasure, Moses quickened his pace. The tension within me began to rise, spreading through my body.
“Moses!” I whimpered, the pleasure overwhelming.
“That’s it, beautiful. Let go. Stop fighting it. You deserve this,” he whispered. Those words were all it took. My orgasm arrived in a wave and I clenched around him. Crying out loudly.
When we finished, we remained close, breathing heavily. The shower continued to run, washing away any evidence of our encounter. It felt like the water carried our secrets, preparing us to return to our carefully constructed lives.
By 8:10 AM, we were dressed and walking through the hotel lobby. My fingers intertwined with his, and I felt transformed. Beautiful, desired, and truly seen. The world around us seemed to fade, irrelevant compared to our shared connection.
Suddenly, camera flashes erupted. Click. Flash. But I barely noticed, lost in Moses, in the moment and the promise of whatever might come next.
Ruth stood at the entrance of the megachurch, her sharp amber eyes scanning the grand foyer. The air was crisp with the faint tang of polished wood and incense. Her tail twitched behind her as she padded across the cool marble floor, ears swiveling toward the faint murmurs of activity deeper inside.
She wasn’t here for Moses this time—not directly, anyway. Ruth’s jaw tightened as she thought of him, but she pushed the anger down. Today, her focus was on Jane.
A receptionist nodded politely as Ruth made her way to Jane’s office. She knocked lightly on the wooden door, the sound sharp in the quiet hallway.
“Come in,” came Jane’s voice from inside, calm but firm.
Ruth opened the door to find Jane seated at her desk, a neat stack of papers in front of her. The older fox didn’t bother standing, but her ears flicked in acknowledgment.
“Ruth,” Jane said, her voice steady as her sharp golden eyes met Ruth’s. “I didn’t expect you this early.”
“Figured we’d get this over with,” Ruth replied, leaning against the door frame momentarily before stepping fully inside. Her feet sank into the soft carpet.
Jane’s lips twitched in the faintest hint of a smile. “I’m aware.”
Ruth crossed her arms, her tail flicking behind her. “Is this Rose person at the church?”
Jane nodded, standing and smoothing down her fur. “She’s with the kids. Let’s go before she gets too busy.”
The walk to the nursery was brief but laden with tension. Ruth noticed how Jane’s posture straightened as they passed other staff members, her tail held at just the right angle to exude confidence. Ruth had seen that before—Jane’s ability to mask any sign of weakness.
They entered the nursery to find Rose kneeling on a brightly colored mat, sorting a pile of colorful blocks. The squirrel woman’s tail fluffed slightly when she noticed them, the insides of her round ears darkening with a faint blush. She set an oversized block aside and rose to her feet. Brushing her hands against her fur.
“Jane,” Rose greeted, her voice cheerful but slightly strained. “Didn’t expect both of you.” Her gaze flickered briefly between them before she offered a nervous smile.
“We need to talk,” Jane said simply, her tone soft but firm. “Can someone cover for you?”
Rose hesitated, glancing at the rabbit woman near the toy bins. “Pam, can you handle things for a few minutes?”
Pam waved a hand, her long ears bobbing. “Of course. Take your time.”
The three women moved to a small break room adjacent to the nursery. Ruth took the seat closest to the door, her movements deliberate and measured, while Jane sat across from Rose. The squirrel woman’s tail curled protectively around her waist, her hands clasped tightly in her lap.
“What’s this about?” Rose asked, her voice casual, but the faint flick of her tail betrayed her unease.
Ruth let Jane take the lead, leaning back slightly in her chair as Jane leaned forward, her elbows resting on the table. “Rose, we need to talk about Moses,” Jane began, her voice steady but carrying an edge of urgency.
Rose blinked, the blush inside her ears deepening as she shifted in her seat. “What about him?” she asked cautiously.
Jane’s tone didn’t waver. “What he’s been doing to women in this church—using them and throwing them aside—it’s wrong. You know it is.”
Rose flinched slightly, her gaze darting toward Ruth, but Ruth remained silent, watching her closely.
“He’s supposed to be a man of God,” Jane continued, “but he’s been using his position to take advantage of people. We need to stop him.”
Rose’s hands tightened in her lap, her claws pressing into her palms. “I don’t know about all that,” she said quietly, her voice trembling. “I mean ... it’s not like he made anyone do anything.”
Ruth finally leaned forward, her voice calm but pointed. “That doesn’t make it right. He’s a hypocrite, Rose, and you know it.”
Rose’s tail flicked sharply, and her eyes narrowed as she looked at Ruth. “What is your name? And who are you to lecture me about this?”
Ruth didn’t hesitate. “I’m his daughter,” she said evenly.
The silence in the room was heavy. Rose’s ears drooped slightly, and she looked down at the table, her voice barely above a whisper. “I ... I heard about you. The scandal.” Her tail curled tighter around her waist.
Ruth’s gaze didn’t soften. “I’m here because someone has to stop him,” she said.
Rose shook her head, her claws now tapping nervously against the table. “I can’t do it,” she said finally, her voice trembling. “I have my family to think about. My husband ... my kids ... They don’t know about...” She trailed off, her blush deepening to a dark red hue inside her ears.
Jane sat back, her expression unreadable, but Ruth could sense the frustration radiating off her.
Rose glanced at Jane, her voice soft and hesitant. “And you ... Jane ... I thought we ... I thought you...” She bit her lip, unable to finish.
Jane’s ears flicked, and for a moment, a shadow of guilt crossed her face. “I know,” she said gently. “But this is bigger than us.”
Ruth sighed, placing a hand lightly on Jane’s arm. “She’s made her choice.” Her voice was calm, but the weight of disappointment lingered in the air.
Rose looked up at Ruth, her eyes glassy with unshed tears. “I’m sorry,” she whispered. “I just ... I can’t.”
Ruth stood, her chair scraping against the floor. “We understand,” she said, her voice even but firm.
As they left the break room, Ruth didn’t look back. She heard Rose hesitate by the nursery door before returning to the children.
Back in the hovercar, Ruth started the engine, her movements precise and deliberate. Jane stared out the window, her shoulders tense and her tail motionless. “Ready for the next one?” Ruth asked, her tone neutral.
Jane nodded slowly, though her posture remained tight. Ruth focused on the road ahead, but the weight of their failure hung between them like a stone.
Jane gripped the edge of the hovercar’s seat as Ruth navigated through the quiet suburban neighborhood. Neat houses with manicured lawns and decorative spiritual markers lined the streets—a testament to the community’s devout nature.
They pulled up to a quaint cottage-style home, its white picket fence adorned with climbing vines. Delicate wind chimes hung from the porch, tinkling softly in the breeze. Jane recognized the address immediately—Margaret Redwood’s residence.
Ruth killed the engine, her amber eyes scanning the house. “Ready?” she asked her tone more statement than a question.
Margaret was waiting at the door before they could knock, her silver-furred ears already perked in recognition. A delicate gold chain hung around her neck, bearing an intricate medallion etched with ancient spiritual symbols. “Jane,” she greeted warmly, “I’ve been expecting you.”
The interior of Margaret’s home was a shrine to her faith—religious artwork covered the walls, ceramic figurines of spiritual guardians perched on shelves, and carefully inscribed scrolls framed in carved wooden borders.
She guided them to a living room where delicate hand-woven mats protected polished surfaces and a well-worn spiritual text sat prominently on a side table.
“Tea?” Margaret asked, her movements practiced and gentle. Without waiting for a response, she disappeared into the kitchen, returning moments later with a silver tea service.
Jane watched as Margaret poured, her movements deliberate and graceful. “This is Ruth,” Jane said, gesturing to her companion. “Moses Lightfur’s daughter.”
Margaret’s ears twitched, but her smile remained placid. “I heard of you,” she said simply. Passing Jane a delicate porcelain cup.
Ruth sat quietly, allowing Jane to lead the conversation. Her eyes never left Margaret, watching every subtle movement.
“We’re here about Moses,” Jane began, her voice soft but firm. “About what he’s been doing in the church.”
Margaret’s tail curled demurely. “I know my own sins,” she said quietly. “I’ve asked the Divine’s forgiveness, and it has been granted.”
Jane leaned forward. “But he’s continuing to take advantage of women, Margaret. Using his position of spiritual authority to—”
“The Divine works in mysterious ways,” Margaret interrupted, her voice calm. “If Moses has sinned, the higher power will handle it.”
Ruth finally spoke, her voice cutting through the room’s gentle atmosphere. “And what about the women he’s hurting? What about accountability?”
Margaret’s smile never wavered. “The Divine forgives,” she repeated, “and who are we to judge?”
Jane fought down her frustration, watching the older fox’s serene expression. Another dead end.
They finished their tea in polite silence, the religious artifacts around them seeming to watch with their own kind of judgment.
As they prepared to leave, Jane said softly, “Well, you have a good day.”
Margaret’s smile grew warm. “Bless you,” she responded. “The Divine will help you.” Her ears perked slightly. “And, the Divine will guide your path.”
Outside, Ruth started the hovercar. “Two down,” she said flatly. Jane simply nodded, the weight of their mission hanging between them.
Ruth studied the middle-class apartment complex as she and Jane approached the door. Another stop, another potential dead end.
The sound of blaring holovision leaked through the door. As Jane knocked. “Come in!” a female voice called out.
The door swung open. Inside, Delia Martinez lounged on a worn leather sofa, cigarette dangling from her crimson lips, a beer bottle in hand. Her makeup was sharp, her demeanor anything but the naive church mouse Jane once knew.
“Jane,” Delia drawled without moving, “who’s your friend?” Her eyes swept over Ruth with casual interest.
“This is Ruth,” Jane said. “Moses Lightfur’s daughter.”
Delia’s laugh was sharp. “Oh, the one who was called a whore by the pastor in front of the whole congregation? Heard about that.” She took a long drag of her cigarette.
Ruth’s smile was neutral. She’d heard worse.
The apartment was a stark contrast to Margaret’s carefully curated spiritual space—loud holovision, scattered beer bottles, an ashtray overflowing with cigarette butts. A soap opera played in the background, the volume just low enough to allow conversation.
“So,” Delia said, shifting slightly on the sofa, “what brings you here?”
Jane leaned forward. “We want to talk about Moses.”
Delia’s laugh was sardonic. “Been there, done that. What’s there to talk about?”
“He’s been using his position to manipulate women,” Jane pressed. “We want to expose his hypocrisy.”
“Hypocrisy?” Delia took another drag. “Honey, that’s religion in a nutshell. Moses just did what everyone else does—he just hasn’t got caught yet.”
The door of the apartment opened. A muscular mouse man entered, carrying cases of beer. “Hey, babe,” he called out, dropping the cases on the counter.
“Jock, these are some church people I used to know,” Delia said, waving a dismissive hand.
Jock grunted, grabbed a beer, and disappeared into the back room.
“Help us take down Moses,” Jane urged.
Delia’s response was immediate. “Why would I? It’s not my life anymore.” She leaned forward, a subtle invitation in her eyes. “Besides, I’m better and know so much more now. Than I did when you, me and Moses Lightfur were together.”
Her gaze turned suggestive. “Maybe you, me, and Jock could ... catch up. I bet he’d be interested and if not I wouldn’t mind having some girl time with you.”
Jane blushed, looking away. “No, that’s not why I’m here.”
“Your loss,” Delia winked. “My Jock is really good. Much better than Moses ever was and I’m good myself.”
Ruth watched the interaction, silent but observant. Another potential ally lost.
As they prepared to leave, Delia called out, “If you change your mind. Let me know...” But her attention was already shifting back to her soap opera and her beer.
Outside, Ruth started the hovercar. “Three down,” she said to Jane. The weight of their mission hung heavy between them.
My hands moved methodically beneath Bartholomew Stoneclaw’s sleek black hover limousine, grease smudging the name tag on my coveralls. The garage buzzed around me, but my mind was trapped in a memory from months ago—the day I’d scrolled through my wife’s phone and found that devastating message to Jane.
It had been an impulse. A moment of doubt. When she was in the shower, I’d picked up her device, something gnawing at me. And there it was. One message. Clear as day. From my wife to Jane: “What did I do wrong? I mean ... I did everything he liked—everything you liked. Just give me another chance. I’m sorry, I mean it ... I love you two. Can we get back together?”
My world had stopped spinning at that moment.
I first saw Jane at the church when I picked up my wife from one of her volunteer days. She was talking with some other staff members, a fox with sharp amber eyes and a confident posture. I’d memorized her face without meaning to.
Weeks later, at the bar, there she was again. Sitting at the counter, talking closely with another woman. Her tail curled slightly, her ears twitching as she leaned in. I was tucked in the corner, nursing a whiskey, invisible. Watching. Wondering.
Two kids. Twenty years of marriage. And for what? My tail twitched involuntarily as I ran a precision tool along the hover limo’s undercarriage. “Why can’t women be like cars?” I muttered. Vehicles made sense. You could diagnose a problem. Fix it. Understand its inner workings.
My boss’s voice cut through my spiraling thoughts. A firm kick against my boot, my legs sticking out from under the vehicle. “Earl!” he called. “How long are you going to be working on that car?”
“Couple more days,” I responded, my voice a mechanical monotone. “She’ll be running perfect.” Perfect. The most ironic word in my vocabulary right now.
“Good,” he replied. “Bartholomew Stoneclaw is an important client. This could mean more business for us. Don’t mess this up.”
Sure. Don’t mess up the car. If only marriages came with such clear instructions. Twenty years. Two children. And now? Suspicion. Uncertainty. A connection fraying like an old electrical wire, ready to short-circuit at any moment.
Once I finished this job, I’d deliver the hover limousine to Bartholomew Stoneclaw’s home. Smooth. Precise. Exactly as it was meant to be. If only my own life could be repaired with such mechanical certainty.
The Stoneclaw estate sprawled large and imposing under their flight path. Its manicured gardens were unnaturally perfect as if nature itself bent to the will of wealth. Ruth angled the hover car down along the sweeping drive, her sharp amber eyes scanning the imposing mansion ahead. The hedges were flawless, the energy-absorbing roofing tiles gleaming under the press of the sun’s rays. Everything about the place exuded power and status.
Beside her, Jane shifted uncomfortably, her tail curling around her. “Vivian Stoneclaw,” she muttered, her voice low but tight. “She’s one of Moses’s conquests now. Don’t expect her to hear us out easily.”
Ruth’s grip on the controls tightened. “We don’t have a choice. She’s influential, and she might be our best shot at getting people to listen.”
The rabbit butler who opened the grand double doors was the picture of old-school refinement. His silver-flecked ears stood at attention, and his suit was impeccable, every line crisp. “Ms. Stoneclaw is in the salon,” he said, his voice smooth as polished stone.
Ruth followed Jane inside, her ears swiveling at the faint murmur of distant conversations. The air was perfumed with lavender and something sharper she couldn’t place, and every detail of the interior seemed calculated to impress.
In the salon, Vivian Stoneclaw reclined like a queen on her chaise lounge, a silk robe draped over her lithe frame. Her tiger-striped fur gleamed under the soft lighting, and her amber eyes flicked lazily over the newcomers.
“Jane,” she purred, her lips curling into a smile. “What a surprise. And you’ve brought someone.” Her gaze lingered on Ruth, sharp and appraising.
“This is Ruth,” Jane said smoothly, her posture carefully neutral. “She’s been doing important work ... uncovering the truth about Moses Lightfur.”
Vivian’s brow arched, a flicker of curiosity dancing in her gaze. “Moses Lightfur,” she echoed, her voice like silk over steel. “Such a fascinating man. What’s this ‘truth’ you’ve uncovered?”
Ruth stepped forward, her tail flicking behind her. “It’s more than just fascination, Ms. Stoneclaw. Moses has been manipulating and using women for years, using his position to exploit them. People trust him, and he’s betraying that trust in the worst ways.”
Vivian’s smile deepened, her tail flicking languidly. “Moses is a compelling man. Charismatic. Powerful. People are drawn to him. I wouldn’t be surprised if there were some women who would be a little disgruntled with him if their encounters didn’t end up the way they wanted.” Her gaze sharpened, a challenge glinting in her eyes. “But I still don’t see what any of this has to do with me.”
Jane spoke gently, her tone diplomatic. “Vivian, your voice carries weight in this community. You’ve built a reputation that people respect. If you spoke out—if you helped us expose him—”
Vivian interrupted with a soft laugh, her head tilting to the side. “Expose him? For what, exactly? Being mortal? Making mistakes? Relationships can get intense. Life isn’t like a fairytale.” She leaned forward slightly, her golden eyes gleaming. “Let’s not pretend we’re all saints, Jane. Some of us have our own ... indulgences to protect.”
The meaning behind her words was unmistakable, and Ruth felt the weight of them.
“Ms. Stoneclaw,” she said, her voice firm despite the feeling of dismissal radiating from the socialite. “This isn’t about judging anyone’s private life. It’s about stopping Moses from hurting more people. You know how persuasive he can be. You’ve seen it firsthand.”
Vivian’s expression cooled, the warmth draining from her smile. “You presume a lot about what I’ve seen, Ms. Ruth!” She straightened, her silk robe shifting as she crossed one shapely leg over the other. “Moses isn’t perfect. Like most of us aren’t. But he’s not the monster you seem to think he is. He’s...” Her gaze drifted for a moment, softening briefly before she caught herself. “Complicated.”
The massage room door opened, and Claude stepped in, his presence filling the room. Ruth’s breath caught as their eyes met, a current of recognition passing between them.
“Ms. Stoneclaw,” the bear greeted, his tone professional.
Vivian’s smile returned, warmer now. “Claude, darling. I would like you to Meet Ruth and Jane. We’ve had quite an interesting conversation, but they’re about to leave now.”
Claude inclined his head politely but said nothing more.
Vivian rose smoothly, her movements deliberate. “Well, this has been delightful, but I’m afraid I have other matters to attend to. Ladies, thank you for coming to me with your information, but I don’t think I can help you.” She paused, adding, “Jane, always a pleasure seeing you.” As if summoned by magic, the seasoned butler arrived. She turned to him. “Samuel, would you escort our guests out, please?”
The butler stepped forward with a dancer’s grace, gesturing for Ruth and Jane to follow him. As they moved through the hallway, the butler paused by the vestibule.
“I’ll need just a moment to retrieve something I forgot,” he said, his voice apologetic and polite. “Please, have a seat here while I fetch it.”
Ruth glanced at Jane, who shrugged but sank into one of the ornate chairs. “Well,” Jane murmured, her voice low, “this was always a long shot. She’s clearly wrapped up in Moses.”
“We had to try,” Ruth replied quietly, her tail flicking with frustration. “But I hate leaving knowing she doesn’t care what he’s done.”
The butler returned after a few minutes, his posture as composed as before. “Thank you for your patience, ladies,” he said, resuming his path toward the exit.
As he held the front door open, Ruth felt the subtle brush of paper against her palm—a folded note slipped to her with practiced subtlety.
Outside, the hover car waited, its sleek body gleaming in the sun. Jane slumped in her seat as they climbed in, her sigh heavy with defeat.
Ruth said nothing, her mind racing. The note cool against her palm and Claude’s face lingered in her thoughts.
The silence in the hovercar was stifling.
Ruth’s sharp amber eyes stayed on the road, but her thoughts swirled like a storm. The fourth rejection weighed on her, the certainty of failure looming. She glanced sideways, catching Jane fidgeting with the waist strap of her body harness. Ruth didn’t need words to know Jane’s resolve was slipping. The woman’s tail twitched, her lips pressed into a thin line as if she were holding back something—perhaps frustration, perhaps regret. Ruth tightened her grip on the controls briefly before exhaling, her breath steadying her own doubts.
Jane looked out the window, her face showing signs of resignation. Ruth could feel it radiating off her. She’s wavering. Ruth hated that her father had so much influence over the people in his life. She flicked the hovercar to autopilot, the hum of the engine adjusting as the vehicle’s controls took over.
Ruth turned to her, sliding closer on the sleek leather seat. Her hand brushed lightly against Jane’s thigh before resting there, a touch that lingered with careful pressure. “Jane,” she said softly, her voice a low murmur. “I know it feels like this is all pointless. Like these women will never speak up. But we’re doing the right thing, and you know it.”
Jane’s breath hitched, her body tensing under Ruth’s hand. Ruth saw the flicker of conflict in her eyes as Jane turned to meet her gaze. “Ruth, I...” Jane hesitated, her voice trembling. “I’m just not sure anymore. None of them will stand with us. And ... what if we’re wrong about all of this? About what we’re trying to do?”
Ruth leaned in, her amber eyes locking onto Jane’s. Her fingers squeezed gently on Jane’s thigh, grounding her while igniting something else. “We’re not wrong,” Ruth said, her voice unwavering. “You’ve seen it yourself—how he manipulates, how he twists faith to get what he wants. I need you, Jane. We can do this together. You’re the only one who truly understands how dangerous my father is.”
Jane shivered, her breathing uneven. Ruth felt the shift, saw the way Jane’s lips parted slightly as her pulse quickened. The attraction was there—Ruth had known that for a while, but now it was palpable, hanging between them like the charge before a storm. Ruth leaned closer, her shoulder brushing against Jane’s. “Don’t give up on us,” she whispered. “We can stop him. But I can’t do it without you.”
The air in the hovercar thickened with tension. Jane’s eyes flickered to Ruth’s lips before darting away, guilt and desire warring in her expression. “You don’t know how hard this is for me,” Jane said, her voice barely above a whisper. “He’s ... he’s my boss, Ruth. And I’ve...” She trailed off, her hands twisting together in her lap.
Ruth tilted her head, her voice softening. “But you’re not him, Jane. You’re better than him. That’s why you’re here with me, trying to fix this mess. You care about these women, even if you’ve been caught up in his world.” She let her fingers stroke up along the straps of Jane’s body harness, a subtle, deliberate gesture. “And I care about you. Don’t let him win by walking away now.”
Jane closed her eyes, a shaky sigh escaping her lips. “I don’t know if I can,” she admitted, her voice thick with emotion. “But I...” She opened her eyes, meeting Ruth’s unwavering gaze. “I don’t want to let you down.”
Ruth smiled the curve of her lips warm but knowing. “You won’t,” she murmured, her hand sliding down, resting on Jane’s knee, just enough to make sure she felt her. The hovercar chimed softly, signaling their arrival at Jane’s home. Ruth leaned in, her voice low. “Trust me, Jane. We’re in this together.”
Before Jane could respond, Ruth pressed her lips to hers. A soft, lingering kiss that tasted of promise and possibilities. Jane gasped against her mouth, her hands fluttering before settling hesitantly on Ruth’s shoulders. Ruth felt the spark ignite, Jane melting into her for a fleeting moment before pulling back, her breath shaky.
The hovercar landed with a gentle thud. Jane pulled herself together quickly, her fingers brushing her lips as if she could still feel Ruth there. “Tomorrow,” she said, her voice steadier than Ruth expected. “We’ll figure out the next step tomorrow.”
Ruth nodded, her expression composed but triumphant. “Tomorrow,” she agreed, watching as Jane stepped out of the hovercar, her movements hurried. As Jane disappeared into her home, Ruth let the smile fade, her amber eyes narrowing in thought.
She shifted the hovercar into manual, driving toward her own home.
Jane
Ruth’s hovercar drifted into the twilight, leaving me standing there, watching until its silhouette vanished. My whole body thrummed with tension—the kind that builds after spending all day near someone you want but shouldn’t have. Every time she tried to convince the other women of the righteousness of our cause, every accidental brush of her tail or hand against me ... God, it had been torture.
