could see of his body and the top of his head rose into soft, wrinkled flesh.

He tilted his dick—erm, head to her and Evren gave him a tight smile before walking hurriedly in the opposite direction.

Weed and dicks.

Unaware, she must have walked into alien sex city.

As she searched for a store selling cloth she’d need if she was going to make her clothes, she passed aliens with horns on their heads, aliens with tails, aliens that looked like elves, aliens with multiple eyes, heads, arms, even a set of identical aliens that walked and spoke together as if they were one unit.

It was chaos, but it was beautiful—like a whole ecosystem that she’d discovered and could study.

She was walking for a good ten minutes, looking into every open stall, but she could not find what she needed.

She’d seen some fruit that looked like apples and she’d spent some of the credits she’d been allotted on a few of them but that had been all she’d bought.

About to give up on the cloth and head back to her apartment, she turned around only to find someone standing in her way.

“Sorry.” She made to sidestep the person, but they thwarted her efforts by moving in the same direction.

“You’re new here.” It was a male voice she didn’t recognize.

Raising her eyes to look at the being that was in her way, Evren put on her best polite face. The alien in front of her was just a little taller than she was. He had dark, hard material over his entire body, like a fighter beetle.

Ah, chitin, she mused to herself. This was the first alien she’d seen with chitin covering his entire frame.

And he was naked.

Well, she assumed he was, for she didn’t see an item of clothing on him whatsoever.

Possibly, he belonged to the pleasure section of the market?

It was good that she could see no private parts. They seemed hidden behind the chitin plates and she thanked God for that. She’d seen enough dicks at the dick stall, the memory of which would serve her for the rest of the day.

Not that she hated seeing dicks. But a girl liked to invite the dicks into her life, not have them thrust randomly into her face.

She’d come back tomorrow if she needed more intrusive dicks in front of her eyes.

And alien dicks...well, she would have to get used to that.

The male before her had a tail as well, and she only noticed because he swished it absently behind him before it curved around to brush against her arm.

The movement pulled her from her musing immediately, the hairs along her spine standing on end.

Jerking backward, Evren kept her facial features neutral, but she was squeezing the basket in her hand so hard she was sure she was damaging whatever fibers it was composed of.

“You’re one of the humans unit Reku5 rescued, aren’t you?”

“Reku5?” She raised an eyebrow at him.

“Xul’s team.” His voice deepened and she wasn’t sure if that was because of disdain or attraction. No. It was disdain. Definitely disdain.

Xul was the commander of the ship that had rescued her and the other women. From what she’d gathered, he was respected by all members of his team.

But the way this chitinous nudist spoke made his words sound dirty and slimy, as if he had some kind of malicious intent. And maybe it was just her imagination and anxiety making her think that, but she was sure he took a step toward her even though she’d jerked back to put space between them.

Thoughts flew wildly in her head and Evren sorted through them in record time with practiced skill.

She couldn’t make a scene.

One, she was new here.

And two, she didn’t know if he was being a creep or if creepiness was just a part of his culture.

“The name is Shive. It is a great gift to meet you.”

“Hello, Shive.” She wouldn’t return his sentiments. It was not a pleasure meeting him. As a matter of fact, it felt absolutely unpleasant.

On purpose, she refrained to tell him her name. Something told her she should cut this conversation short and make her way back home.

“Well, I must get going.” She used her free arm to motion with her basket. “Shopping.” She forced a smile. “Bye now.”

She made to step around the male once more and again he stepped in front of her, cutting off her movement.

“You’re here alone.”

Evren noted it wasn’t a question. Had he been watching her? Following her?

“Didn’t expect you humans to venture
