Jenner
Calabria had won the lottery. But win
was not a word Jen would associate with what was to become of him. An alliance
with the Adredules was all well and fine, but he wanted nothing to do with it.
He’d had no choice. Because he was twenty-two, he’d had to draw for the
lottery.
Earth
Global, to placate the rulers of Adredule, were to provide a consort for the
royal house. A human. Jenner.
Jen
was somewhat familiar with the ‘Dules, since his former boss was one. But
Adredules were ugly! They were bi-pedal, like humans, but that was where any
similarity ended. Abnormally tall, hairless, with only three fingers and toes,
skin like leather, and eyes that reminded him of the old, extinct crocodiles,
Jen feared the worse. And to top it off, Jen preferred males.
He
only hoped, when he reached Adredule, that he could remember all the rituals,
rules and laws…and go through with the mating.

Te’Dalrian
was incised that his father, the emperor of Adredule would make an alliance
with the Terran humans. Te’Dalrian was perfectly capable of finding his own
consort, thank you very much! But the deal had been struck, and he was trapped
into a mating with a being he knew nothing about.
His
only salvation was his father knowing he preferred males. He’d been assured
that the consort picked would be a man. He still wasn’t happy. Humans were
strange beings, not that Te’Dalrian had ever actually seen one. But he’d heard
about them. And what he’d heard made him shudder with revulsion.
But
when his new consort arrived, Te’Dalrian was surprised, and pleased with the
man they had selected, Jenner Calabria. He was gorgeous…for a human. Now, if he
could only get Jenner to cooperate.
