.To distract the grid operator, she had put on some of her most attractive ornaments, and a spicy cologne which approximated the pheromones of mating.She had not counted on anyone else coming along, espedally not the Treaty Controller.At once she assumed a position both humble and hardworking, hoping he would look away.To her.horror, she saw his nostrils flare as he scented her."Rrrmmm,' he purred, moving toward her."And who is this? what is your name, lovely one?" Flustered, she murmured her name, and was gently asked to repeat it."Nrrna.""Nrrna.A soft name for a soft pelt.I find you most attractive, Nrrna." He rubbed his hand alon the length of her arm.Offended by the familiarity of the contact, she moved her arm, trying not to give deliberate insult.After all, she was wearing a provocative scent."You honor me, sir, but I am already promised.""Surely no single male will be sufficient to relieve one as young and feminine as you, Nrrna,' the Controller said, pitching his voice intimately."I would be the one honored if you would choose to favor me with your company." Nrrna looked to the grid operator for assistance, but he had folded his ears tight to his head in an effort not to overhear.which was only discreet of him, Nrrna had to admit.Why had she chosen such an alluring scent? She really had left herself open to offers.The operator she could have teased, but it would be most unwise of her to lead on the Treaty Controller."Please, sir, I am prom5sed as lifemate." She hadn't wanted to admit that yet.Particularly not to this old male.She edged away.He sidled closer to her, and she could feel the heat of his body against hers and the rising scent of his sensual response to her condition."I am not yet at full cycle,' she added as coolly as she could.Indeed she was a few weeks away from her season and sexual activity would be distasteful.He had no right to be harassing her."Really?" and the Controller looked genuinely surprised."I think perhaps you have misjudged your readiness, soft Nrrna,' the Controller suggested in a low voice."My quarters are most comfortable." He was a much older male, with persuasive ways that should overwhelm such a young and obviously inexperienced female.She shifted away from him, revolted by his manner.Any decent male would have desisted, but this old stoker obviously didn't recognize a genuine denial."The transmission from Earth,' the operator announced.With the agility of her youth, Nrrna sprang toward the pallet in a graceful leap that took the Controller totally by surprise.With her own hands, she helped the operator roll the crate off the transport grid to make room for the next transmissn.However, the Controller, not to be done out of his prize, followed her.Ignoring him, she opened the top crate, which did not contain Kelly, and began to inventory the materials very slowly, checking each box several times as she marked it off on her list."One box of size OO sutures, one box of size 0 sutures, four cases of plas-skin."You haven't answered my question yet, Nrrna,' the Treaty Controller pressed.She gave him a smile."All thought of personal indulgence must give way to duty, honored sir." She paused to give him the most courteous and coolest of bows."You must forgive my diligence but it is my first position and I cannot discredit my Stripe with less than my closest attention.Everything must be inventoried before it can be transported to the village center." She began her count over, glancing from the clipboard to the pallet with an anxious expression."One box of size OO sutures, one box of size 0 sutures."I thought you needed to get this to the medical center as quickly as you could,' complained the operator, wondering that the pretty female was silly enough to ignore a Controller."As soon as it is counted,' Nrrna said firmly."Earth must be notified promptly if the count is short." Once again, she began at the top of her list.Just as the Treaty Controller moved in to pursue her, the grid bell rang."Honored sir, the transmission from Hrruba!"
