She was still hungry. She pulled out a pretty package. Chocolate! This would fill her stomach. She carried the bag back to the lounging sofa and got comfortable. Chocolate was good. Better than sex—almost. What about chocolate and sex at the same time? Her nipples tightened and began to ache as a burst of heat inflamed her body. Just as quickly, passion’s fire extinguished. An emotion she was only vaguely familiar with ran through her. Guilt? She didn’t like guilt. Succumbing to temptation made her feel guilty because she knew how hard it would be to give all this up. Had Mala tasted chocolate? Her brow puckered. If Mala had discovered men, sex, water that cascaded over one’s body, and chocolate, it might be impossible to get her to leave Earth. She unwrapped another bar and chewed slowly, savoring the taste. What other things had Mala discovered that Kia hadn’t? She could feel the blood drain from her face as a wave of dizziness washed over her. Would she discover more pleasure while on Earth?
