Irron’s orders, Raina was too restless to sleep. She took one look at Kotto’s bed and decided to curl up on the couch. If he came home and found her sleeping in his bed, it would send the wrong message. She was attracted to him, was willing to explore the chemistry they generated, but that was as far as she was willing to go. She had too much to accomplish, too much to learn, before she’d even consider a serious relationship. The language infusion had been strange, yet less invasive than she’d feared. Dr. Irron hooked up electrodes as if he were going to give her an EEG. There had been a brief rush of sensation, a flurry of sounds and images that left her with a throbbing headache. The entire process only took a few minutes then Irron gave her an analgesic mist to ease the pain and escorted her to Kotto’s cabin so she could rest. Shortly after she lay down, however, the infusion must have kicked in. She looked around the room and strange-sounding words echoed through her mind.
