“Perhaps,” he said oddly. “The library is down the opposite corridor from here.”
I nodded, starting to back away from him.
“I’ll escort you.”
“That’s not necessary.”
“You know the way?” He lifted a brow, clearly questioning the validity of everything I’d just said. His gaze bore down on me, and I backed away faster even though he didn’t move.
“No. I just…don’t think I’ll be able to read after…this. I’d like to retire now.”
A ghost of a smile seemed to curve his lips, but it came and left so quickly that I thought I imagined it. I kept backing up until I felt the door behind me and found the doorknob. Opening it, I winced at the pain from my blisters. Just before I escaped, he spoke so softly I almost didn’t hear him. “Perhaps you’ll meet me there some night.”
Taboo
Leslie Dicken
When two strangers meet by chance, their shared ecstasy challenges cultural differences and changes the course of their future.
Two societies have lived apart on a remote planet for generations. At the top of the Dwelling live the Aerotaun, people who have built wings to help them fly. The bottom is occupied by the Marimar, hearty swimmers who live and feed by the sea. Because of the mystery surrounding their ancestors’ landing, suspicions and distrust thrive between the cultures.
Until a taboo encounter occurs on an isolated beach.
Ariana, an Aerotaun, cannot resist the seductive allure of the forbidden Andreus. Their few days alone ignite sexual exploration and uninhibited ecstasy. But when Ariana finally learns the shocking secret about their purpose on the planet, she must decide if her heart belongs with her people or the sexy Marimar.
