She shivered, and not entirely from fear. She had a very good idea what he planned to do with her, but surely, he didn't expect her to sit around doing nothing while waiting for him to come home each day. In the end, she decided to continue with her normal routine as if they'd never invaded her home.
She was preparing more jars for canning in the kitchen area when the aliens trooped in at dusk. Zacar homed in on her immediately. Natalie's whole body tingled, remembering his hands rubbing salve over her naked flesh, and she could feel the burn spreading from the top of her head to her toes. She kept her back to him, hoping he wouldn't notice.
What did he think of her? Was he as drawn to her naked body as she'd been to his? What did Zyrgins find pleasing in a woman?
Standing at the kitchen table, she wrung her hands. Why was she even worrying about it? Why should she care if a stubborn alien found her attractive or not?
