Fair point. That said,, they are both (non-standard) telepathic, so that kind of dissonance is slightly less of an issue -- she knows who he is on the inside. (A related issue was going to -- and may yet, if I can find a less-problematic approach -- be a key point, though.)One of the most common tropes in romances (and the fan fictions thereof) is the Enemies to Lovers trope.
When you can "mobilize consciousness" between bodies ...... you wind up with this really WEIRD syncretic mix of "Friends IN Enemies become Lovers" ...
... which only gets weirder when you throw cross-species mobilization of consciousness into the mix.
As much as Piers and Roni might WANT to be Friends With Benefits ... accomplishing that with the DNA sequence of an "enemy" really ought to be something of a No No.
"Breeding" with an enemy, just because my "friend is inside" that enemy ... yeah, um ... no ...?
Thank you!
