Yours by Thea Masen

My True Mate is somewhere on this starship. But finding her won’t be easy.

Zenth:
I’m in love with my best friend. I’ve wanted her ever since we were young, and it’s only gotten worse. She’s sensual and fun and knows me better than anyone else in the five solar systems. But she doesn’t think of me that way.
Ever since I found out my True Mate is on The Rose, I’ve been avoiding Vera. If my fated mate is here, I should be looking for her—not pining after my best friend.
No matter how hard I try to move on, Vera’s the only one I want. And tonight, she’s looking at me in ways that make me feel exposed and brazen. It makes me want to something stupid—like kiss my best friend.
What would she do if I tried?

Vera:
Zenth is acting weird. He’s never been a tease or a flirt, but ever since we left the space station, he’s been dating a lot more than normal. I’ve barely seen him, and I don’t like it. I miss my best friend.
When we’re given twenty-four hours on the pleasure planet Mookon 5, I make it my mission to find out what’s going on with him. But now that we’re finally spending time together, it’s clear Zenth isn’t the only one acting strange.
When did my best friend get hot? And why does every touch between us feel charged in a way it never has before?
