Cosmic Sex by Karen Kelley

we have sex after we get back to your apartment?”
    The two women, who were closer now, jerked their heads around to stare.
    Nick coughed.
    People seemed to do a lot of choking when she mentioned sex, then they looked around at other people. Odd behavior. Maybe she should explain.
    “You said we could have sex when you discovered who I am. Now that you have accepted the truth, we can have sex.”
    “We don’t discuss sex in grocery stores,” he whispered.
    The women chuckled. She could see they were friendly.
    “Then where do you discuss it?” she asked, turning her attention back to Nick.
    “In private.”
    She thought about it for a second. “If you insist, but you do realize I’m not wearing any undergarments beneath this dress. The material rubbing against my nipples is causing numerous sensations inside me. I don’t know how long I can go without fulfilling my desires. I want to have sex with you very much.”
    When her gaze lowered, she saw the familiar tightening in his pants. She liked that she hadn’t even pushed a button to make him expand.
    As she returned her gaze to his face, she noticed a bright yellow fruit. Momentarily distracted, she picked it up, lightly running her fingernails over the length.
    “What’s this?” It reminded her of the male anatomy. Interesting.
    “A banana.” He grabbed it from her hands and dropped it into the cart along with some other things as he hurried her up and down the aisles at a brisk pace. He seemed to be in a hurry. Maybe he did want to have sex with her after all.
    She snuggled inside the fur coat, pulling the collar up. The soft pelt felt wonderful against her skin. Sherry had been right when she told Kia that no man would be able to resist her when she wore this dress. And she had more clothes in which to seduce Nick. Before she left Earth, she would have many sexual experiences with him.
    Sex first, then they would begin the search for Mala.
    And food. She couldn’t forget about eating.
    She sighed. Earth might not be as bad as she’d first thought.
    Nick slowed, leaning over a bin with fogged glass. She joined him. The temperature had dropped considerably in this area and strange things were happening. She laughed.
    “What’s so funny?”
    She opened her coat. “Look, the cold air has made my nipples hard. You can see them through my dress.”
    “Ah, shit.”
    People were staring again. When she smiled, though, they smiled back.
    But Nick didn’t seem to want to stay and interact with them. He hurried down another aisle with boxes and boxes of food. When he stopped, so did she. Good, she wanted to see what other treats were in store for her. She read some of the containers.
    Chocolate.
    She scanned the labels. Chocolate cupcakes, bags of chocolate candy, chocolate cookies.
    It must be a favorite Earth diet staple since they had so much of it. Would it taste as good as pancakes?
    She cast a covert look in Nick’s direction as he reached the end of the aisle and disappeared around the corner. She had money. They shouldn’t mind if she tried their product if she was able to pay for it.
    The aromas in this area were so very tantalizing and she was so hungry. The food capsules she’d taken last night no longer made her feel full and Nick hadn’t given her a chance to finish her pancakes and the ones Manager had ordered hadn’t filled her nearly enough.
    She squared her shoulders. Wasn’t she a warrior? Afraid of nothing? Besides, she was a superior being. It was her right to try this food called chocolate.
    Having made her decision, she opened the bag of chocolate candy bars.
     

Chapter 9
    “They went into Albertsons,” Darla said into her cell phone.
    “And you say she has a pouch full of jewels?” Slava sounded skeptical.
    “Well, yeah, I saw them when she was shopping for clothes. I heard the clerk say she was some kind of princess or something.”
    Slava didn’t believe her. He could be such an ass, just because his Uncle Yuri was a hot
