The colors of each planet were like none found on Earth. Pluto wasn't gray, it looked like steel. The azure sight of Neptune made a shiver run down her spine. But then she realized it wasn't the sight of the planet. It was something else.
Shanti shifted in her seat. She felt a throb from her core all the way up her backside. The throb was not one of pain or discomfort. It was an awareness, a reminder of what she'd been doing a few hours ago.
A deep chuckle sounded behind her.
Shanti ignored Hsing's laughter, which was easier than ignoring the effect he had on her.
