“What? Treason?” the doctor screeched as she felt the cold steel around her wrists. “I only wanted what's best for the prince-”
“By placing both him and his Hon'eekoh in mortal danger in an entirely frivolous attempt to have your own daughter put on the throne?” the colonel inquired coldly. “The prince questions if your actions were truly in his best interest. Or your daughter's. He has of course granted her a royal pardon for any collaboration she may have supplied, but it seems she is also a victim in this shameful affair. She certainly wants nothing to do with you anymore. It was the purest luck that His Highness was able to save her as well, after he had made sure that his Hon'eekoh was secure. But all will be revealed at the trial. Come with us, please...”
The three large officers had their hands full dragging the kicking and screaming and biting doctor along the corridors to the brig section. Once more Colonel Dec'Hor cursed the lack of turbolifts on the ship.
But at least, this time he didn't have to run.

“How is my love?” the prince asked and kissed the top of her head. He could not get enough of her alien and heavenly scent, and she seemed to be especially fragrant on top of her head, like a flower.
“Oh, you know,” Jen said, lazily. “The usual. Satisfied. Properly exhausted. Excited. Slightly horny again. So just wonderful, I guess.” She heard Tar'Shoc's slow heartbeat in one ear and his deep voice in the other. His chest turned out to be a pretty good pillow – firm, but warm.
“I'm astounded that my Hon'eekoh turned out to be an alien,” the prince said. “That has never happened to any royal before. Or anyone else, to my knowledge.”
“But I'm not an alien,” Jen said, content. “You're the alien.”
The prince chuckled and his chest shook. “Maybe. But we will never be aliens to each other. We are Hon'eekohs now. We will always be one. What do you call that in your language?”
Jen scratched her thigh. “You mean the One True Love that's meant to be? We don't really have those. Or we have them, it's just that we tend to settle for someone who's obviously not the One, but just about good enough. We're pretty impatient like that.”
“Not a good thing for a species to do,” the prince reflected. “It's bound to lead to discord.”
“Yeah, well,” Jen said. “Some discord can be good, I think.” She was not going to accept any weird criticism of her own species.
“But not between us,” the prince stated calmly. “We are in tune now, married and consummated. We will forever be one, even when apart, even when separated by huge interstellar distances. Whether we're aliens or not.”
She angled her neck to look up at his sensationally handsome face. One with that? Forever? Hell yes.
“Let's just get one thing straight,” she said mischievously. “I'm not an alien. You're the alien.”
He smiled and kissed her head again. He really could not get enough of that scent.
