Of course she knew who he was. Everyone did. The warrior who was captured, tortured, and rescued. The winged warrior without wings. His back was to her and she could see the bandages covering the spots above his shoulder blades where his wings had been.
He looked to the side and ran his fingers lightly along the edge of a flower. Sofia’s eyes followed his fingers. He was so big, his forearm as big as her upper arm, but his touch was so gentle. He looked up at the moon, his face bathed in soft silver light. She had thought she’d see sadness in his expression, defeat, but he seemed calm, peaceful, as if he accepted what happened and had already moved on. Sofia wished she could be so strong.
With a last look at the flower he was caressing, Thal moved into the shadows, his footsteps growing faint as he headed toward the building.
Sofia walked to where he had been standing, glancing around nervously, as if he might come back. She looked at the flower he had been admiring. It was white with a light spatter of purple in the center of the leaves, as if someone had shaken a paintbrush over the flowers.
She ran the fingers of her left hand along the soft-looking flower petals, not surprised when she felt nothing. She sighed, shaking her head, then looked down the path Thal had taken. She had heard he’d be going to another planet with aliens that specialized in cybernetics. If things went as planned, he’d have a new pair of wings when he returned.
No. It’s crazy. Just stop it.
Sofia tried to shy away from the idea forming in her head, but she couldn’t help herself. It was totally insane, completely unlike her. She would need Paisley’s help to make it happen, and she’d never live that down in a million years. But the crazy idea might just work.

Of Sex and Starships
~ The Ramblings of Becca Colton ~
Hey there. Welcome back for more adventure and romance . . . in space!
I hope you enjoyed Corsar and Chloe’s story. Next up, as I’m sure you guessed from the epilogue, is Sofia and Thal. Poor Thal had a rough time in this one but I promise he has a happily-ever-after waiting for him in Book 3.
I can’t seem to keep from introducing new ideas in my current works in progress. With Book 1, I hinted at the beginning of an interstellar dating agency. Yeah, there’s a few out there already, but can there ever really be too many? In Book 2, I mentioned Cyborgladiators. They’ll be appearing in the third book of the Sky Warriors series, too, and they just might get their own series if you’re interested in reading more about them. So send me an email and let me know what you think.
Until next time, may all your dreams include sex and starships.
