Ambassador's Stowaway Avery Rae

I had my getaway perfectly planned. Then I got on the wrong ship. His ship.

Talys is supposed to be an ambassador but he has the social graces of a donkey. And now I'm stuck with him.

Look, I know people are trying to change things on Korystus. They want to prove that humans and Korysti can live together. There's too much bad blood, if you ask me.

Talys is kinda proof it's all a waste. I mean, he plans on hauling me right back to Korystus when he's done with his trip. Our kind will never get along as long at this rate.

Which is why I shouldn't be so tempted by Talys's offer to join him in his quarters. I gotta stick to my guns, though. I'm not taking a tumble in his sheets, and I'm definitely not going back to Korystus.

So, all I have to do is stay out of his room, keep my mouth shut, and run for freedom when we land. Simple, right?

The thing is... my self-control sucks, he's really good at getting a rise out of me, and I'm a terrible runner.

This is going to be a long trip.
