He had thought he would never love again after Barbara's betrayal. And while it was a mystery to him that he could love Ava at all, he couldn't deny that what he felt for the fiery Adept half his age was every bit as strong as anything he had ever felt for his wife.
Once in his room, Jack collapsed on his bed, his lack of rest finally getting the best of him. As he lay on his back, he pondered how best to tell Garek of his desire to court his daughter. To say he was apprehensive about the Captain's reaction would be an understatement.
If I had a daughter, I wouldn't want a man like me for her either,Jack thought. But he had promised Ava. He'd known that his promise had meant something from the way her gaze had softened when he'd insisted on honoring her people's customs. And she loved him. Surely that would mean something to the Captain. The thought of Ava's eyes shining with her love for him, of the way her sensuous body responded to his, filled him with an excited eagerness that overruled any uncertainty.
For months, he'd been existing in a stupor like a man sleep-walking through the motions of life. Now, he felt something that he hadn't truly felt since the day he had discovered Barbara's treachery. Despite his weariness, the realization made him smile.
"I feel alive," he murmured just before sleep claimed him.

Langeann3 months agoOh dear … another unfinished story. This site is full of them. I wonder why these ‘authors’ refuse to finish their stories?
Anonymousover 1 year agoWhat about finishing/ it fully restructuring story at a non erotic fantasy adventure? Just the typical romance arcs? It's a great story..... It really doesn't need the erotic hooks to make it interesting.
Anonymousover 1 year agoSigh. So good. I've of the really good stories I've read here. Would love to have more. Sad that it stopped just when it was really taking off. Thank you for those lovely story.
ausvirgoover 2 years agoReally loved the story as far as it went, but Sirreadsalot10's biography states"
"Due to personal reasons I no longer write erotic fiction",
so unless another author takes up this story, or Sirreadsalot10 changes their mind, it's a dead end.
