I came out of the shower and paused in drying my hair when I found her lying in the bed.
My bed.
She lay with her back facing me, still wearing her sheer dress.
She was virtually naked in there.
I could slip under the covers and just as easily slip inside her…
I shook my head of the thoughts and images running rampant.
I finished drying off my hair and dropped the towel in the laundry basket on the other side of the room.
The girl still hadn’t moved a muscle.
Did she expect me to believe she was asleep while she was in a strange room with an alien?
I was naked from the shower and rounded the bed, keeping an eye on her the entire time.
Her eyes were shut but with each of my heavy footsteps, she shuddered a little more.
I would have slept on the floor but I had no cushions or extra blankets.
I could control myself, I told myself.
I usually liked to sleep naked but for her sake, I slipped on some underwear and a regular T-shirt.
I slid under the blankets and lay my head on the pillow.
I stared at the ceiling of my cell, unsure what to do next.
She had to still be awake. Nothing else made sense.
There was a long pause before I finally spoke.
“Have you ever done something and you’re not sure why you did it?”
The girl just lay there, eyes clamped shut, continuing with her pretense she was asleep.
“I chose you because something inside me told me to,” I said. “I think you’re beautiful, sexy, and really cute. I’m not going to force myself on you.”
No matter how much I might want to.
“In the morning, you can return to the Prize Pool and tell them whatever story you want to. But there’s no need for you to feel uncomfortable with me now. And you don’t need to pretend to be asleep either.”
It took a full minute before the girl opened her eyes.
Those big, beautiful eyes.
She looked me over uncertainly.
We were both half-naked and sharing a single bed, after all.
“How did you know I was awake?” she said.
“Strange room, strange alien… I can’t imagine many people would feel comfortable. What’s your name?”
“Ivy.”
