sticking its head out. Then Lexy’s tongue probed the seam of his lips, and Huv didn’t know what the hell he was feeling. Jerking away, he backpedaled until he hit the wall.
    “Whoa, I’m not … this isn’t…” Ah, gods. This couldn’t be happening to him.
    “Not quite the reaction I expected.” Lexy’s tone was wry, but despite his own distress, Huv could hear the hurt behind it.
    Raking his hand through his hair, Huv tugged hard as if the movement would straighten out his head. “Look, I think there’s been a miscommunication here. I’m really sorry if I misled you, but I’m not gay.”
    “Okay.” Lexy sounded like he was humoring him.
    “No, really. I like women. A lot.”
    “I’m glad to hear it.” Lexy shot him an amused smile. “Strictly speaking, I’m not gay either, although I guess you could argue I’m half gay. I’m simply Cedecian.”
    “You told me that,” Huv said, but he felt like he must have missed something.
    Apparently Lexy figured that out, too. A frown formed in the middle of his smooth brow before tipping down the corners of his lips. “And you told me there isn’t much diversity on your home planet. You don’t know much about Cedecians, do you?”
    “Not really.”
    “Oh, boy.” Lexy winced. “Maybe you’d better sit down.”
    Realizing he was cowering against the wall, Huv felt a flush of embarrassment. He accepted the seat Lexy offered him in the living room and settled across from him.
    “I’ll get right to the point,” Lexy said. “Cedecians are a bi-gender race.”
    Huv blinked. “Bi—”
    “Gender. We shift back and forth between male and female, spending equal time as each.”
    Stars above, he would have remembered hearing something like that. “Nifty trick.” He audibly swallowed. “Do you … uh … do that often?”
    “Change sexes?” Although Lexy propped his ankle on his knee and leaned back casually, he kept bouncing his foot. “We can do it at will with a great deal of concentration, but it’s uncomfortable if the timing isn’t right. Right now, I’m at the male stage of my cycle. In a few days, I’ll transform to female. The only time we don’t have a choice in the matter is when we’re in our fertile period and have a permanent lover. Then we take whatever form complements them.”
    “I see.” Actually, Huv felt like he was cross-eyed at the moment, but what could he say?
    He almost flinched when Lexy came over and sat beside him on the sofa.
    “Look, I can see you’re taken aback,” Lexy told him. “I don’t mean to push you, but I couldn’t help but notice you responded to my kiss. Well, at least until you remembered you were kissing a man.”
    Oh, gods. Huv’s heart beat a wild tattoo. “But I’m not gay,” he repeated. “Or bisexual.”
    Lexy patted his arm. “I have to ask, and this question isn’t as stupid as it might sound. Are you sure?”
    “Of course, I … damn.” Huv scrubbed his palms over his face. He couldn’t deny he’d reacted to Lexy. Hadn’t he wondered the same thing?
    “Have you ever tried a sexual interaction with a male?” Lexy’s tone was gentle.
    “No … except … I mean I hadn’t, but…”
    Lexy rubbed his arm. “It’s okay to tell me. I won’t use it to pressure you.”
    Huv groaned. “At that class I modeled for. The students came up for a hands-on anatomy lesson, and I let them touch me. Most of the guys opted to just look, but this one Nimanian man took my cock in his hand. I didn’t even pay attention to what he looked like. It’s not that I was interested in him, but when he put his hand on me—”
    “You enjoyed it?”
    Shaking his head, Huv stared at his hands. “I don’t know. I just … don’t know. I’m thirty-six years old. Shouldn’t this have come up before now?”
    Lexy responded with a small smile. “I’ll ignore the obvious pun and answer maybe. People can spend their whole lives exploring their sexuality. Maybe you’re ready to try a new
