The Alien's Little Sister: a Humorous Science Fiction Story

When my employee propositions me, I'm taken aback. Yeah, she's gorgeous, exotic, and adventuresome, but besides the issue of me being her boss, she proposes something casual. Which is reason enough to give me pause, because I'm not a casual kind of guy.
But long story short, we get together, it's great, and I'm crazy about her, which means I have a big problem. Seven of them, actually-that's how many brothers she has. And I don't know about you, but to me, that sounds like the recipe for an @$$ whooping. *Seven* super overprotective brothers means they aren't going to hesitate to beat me into a whimpering bag of meat for touching their little sister. Yippee.
Is that enough to deter me from falling for her? Evidently not, and I guess it's because Inara is an alien, and there are a couple of pretty big galaxies separating me from her bad@$$ family, so I'm safe.
Or so I pretend. Because it isn't the threat of her brothers that worries me. It's these damn inconvenient feelings that stubbornly refuse to quit growing. I care about Inara. A lot. And that's a problem, because as far as she's concerned, she still thinks she's just having a simple fling. Me? Here's the whole truth: I freaking love her.
And she's going to break my heart when she goes back home without me... Unless I convince her to take me with her.
