to have a
child. Sivadians were far more advanced than humans. If human scientist could make
the advancements they had, Sivadian scientists could figure a simpler way to
conceive.
    Once
this training ’ s over, I need to research this. Maybe I ’ ll get Mom —no!
I will not ask anything from her.
    “After
the fertility ritual,” Kyra continued, “you ’ ll have the ability
to conceive if you choose. However, you must have sex within one week of
absorbing the light. Your body’s need to procreate during that week will cause
a tremendous increase in your sex drive. You may find it necessary to isolate
yourself from males in order not to become pregnant. That ’ s
why the ritual is on the last day of your training.”
    Just
great, we ’ ll turn into sex starved fiends for an entire
week. Unlike Elle, I don ’ t have a harem of human men at my beck and
call. If it becomes unbearable,
I may have to find my own. At least I wouldn ’ t have to worry about becoming pregnant with a human.
    “If
you ’ re not ready to have children, stay away from men.
When you are ready, you must do what I refer to as a reboot. You ’ ll
go to one of the regions on Earth with low magnetic field lines and pull energy
from them. There are many of these on every continent. After the fertility
ritual you ’ ll naturally feel their pull, making them easy to
recognize. This part of the process is called ‘Life Light. ’ ‘ Life ’ because
our continued existence depends on the ability to complete this process, and
‘Light ’ because when you pull from a magnetic field line,
you will dissolve into a luminescent sphere of light as you float along the
lines, absorbing the electromagnetic vibrations the Earth offers. Both of these
experiences are described as exhilarating, and will leave you with a sense of
oneness with this world like you ’ ve never experienced before.”
    Kyra glanced at the clock behind her.
She turned back to the class with an uncharacteristic smile.
    Riana ’ s
eyes widened. Any moment, she expected Kyra ’ s face to crack.
    “Okay, ladies, after lunch your first
one-on-one assessments will begin. The sign-up sheet is on my desk. Stop by and
pick a time on your way out.”
    So,
that ’ s why the smile.
    Visions of Kyra beating her into a
bloody mess came to mind. Riana stopped at her desk and signed up for the last
session of the day, dreading the inevitable.
    ***
    Cy stood close to the gym waiting for
Riana to come out of class. He planned to make it appear as if he were passing
by at that particular moment, anxious to see her reaction to the roses.
    After
leaving his mother ’ s, he ’ d tossed and turned,
unable to sleep. Every time he drifted off, a pair of brilliant green eyes
haunted his dreams. If Riana didn ’ t change her mind about spending time with him, he
might never get another peaceful night ’ s rest.
    Riana exited the building, and Cy
headed in her direction. The moment she saw him, a dazzling smile lit her face.
    That ’ s a good sign. At
least she wasn ’ t ignoring him like last night when she got out of
the Hummer.
    “I ’ ll
meet you back at our place,” Elle said as Riana stopped in front of him.
    “Thank
you for the beautiful roses. You really shouldn ’ t ha—”
    “No, I really should have,” he interrupted softly. “They pale in
comparison to you.”
    Oh
my God, could that line have sounded cheesier? Why do I turn into a rambling idiot when I ’ m around her?
    Riana ’ s
cheeks turned a light shade of pink. “Well, thank you.” She hesitated and drew
a slow breath. “ I was wondering …if the offer for dinner is still on the table.”
    Cy ’ s
brows popped. Had he just heard her right? “Yes, it most definitely is.
Nothing would please me more.”
    Well
there is one thing, but I better keep that to myself for now.
    “What time should I pick you up?”
    “Is seven all right?”
    “It ’ s
perfect.” Cy tried to keep from grinning like an idiot. “Are you
