Lt. Commander Dirks gets his kink on by hooking himself to a homemade hologram machine. He’s programmed in the woman he’s loved his entire life and spends his free time taking her every way he can. The only problem is, she’s not the real deal—she’s not his Haels. Haeley settled on a planet that doesn’t allow modern technologies because she wanted away from anything to do with the Star Union—the very organization that lured Dirks away from her so many years ago. When he shows up, attempting to negotiate the safe return of one of his crew members, she’s shocked to see him and even more surprised to learn he still has feelings for her. She doesn’t shy away from his advances. She’s hardly the same girl she used to be. Now she’s a woman who is in control of her sexual side and isn’t afraid to show it. Desire ignites and the two find themselves heating up the sheets, the wall, the floor and just about anywhere else they can manage.
