needed.” He pressed his lips to her shoulder.
“So, I am in heat?”
He chuckled against her skin. “Yes. Definitely.”
She nodded. “How long will it last?”
“Don’t know. A day, a week, a month? No idea. I will be here for you.”
He bit her shoulder gently, and she shivered. “Oh. Great. That has a tone of cheerful menace to it.”
He chuckled against her skin. “Good. You are paying attention.”
He licked her shoulder and neck before turning her with a splash and pulling her astride him. The moment that his cock found her opening, she thrust her hips and took him inside her with the water sloshing around them. She slowly rode him, his hands stroking her breasts and cupping her hips, sliding over her and pulling her in so he could use his mouth on her skin. The friction caused by the water rinsing away her essence was sweet, and it was heightened by the nipping kisses that Yr-el gave her while she slowly rode him until she arched back and shuddered in his arms.
The message on the flashing com was from Mr. Blue, and they listed as they ate. Styra, you are hereby relieved of duty and are assigned to the Ackerwol Imperium. Your base will be Harva. Your position is as security protocol programmer. Your cousins want to throw you a going-away party if your mate will part with you for a few hours.
She blinked. “Harva? Where the hell is Harva?”
He chuckled. “It is my home. We have two dozen large cities and lots of open space. It is the ideal place to raise offspring.”
She froze. “Offspring?”
“Certainly. That is what your heat is about. I am surprised that Mbrak is encouraging you to meet up with your relatives.”
She curled up, and he wrapped around her back. “What is so weird about me meeting up with my cousins?”
“Well, unless I miss my guess, they are all female, and as you are in a strong heat, you will begin the process to trigger the ones who are developed enough to pursue a mate of their own.” He slid his hand down and pressed it to her belly. “That is if your heat is still active.”
Her body had lit up when he ran his hand across her skin, but she sighed. “I don’t give a fuck what my body wants right now. My brain needs sleep.”
He chuckled. “Then, as long as I can touch you, sleep it shall be.”
She gave a low huff and wiggled against him to get comfortable and make him uncomfortable. She wished that she had been able to keep the smirk off her face. He stroked a hand across her cheek and turned her head for a kiss. Her body warmed rapidly, and then, he cuddled her close, chuckling softly.
She closed her eyes and pretended that the slight contact hadn’t set her blood on fire.
Her body was content to rest, but she was not going to sleep deeply. She had an agenda to plan for. When she was dumped on a new world, she was going to need a plan and possibly some clothing that didn’t have a magnetic closure.
Dancing for hours with her cousins was highly enjoyable. Mr. Blue had given them all a few hours off and was managing the entertainment center himself during that time.
Styra enjoyed flinging her limbs around with her cousins, but it was disconcerting that Yr-el had invited himself to the party. Weirdly, the ladies had been happy to have him.
Styra was still aching from her previous activity, so she took a seat in the private room of the club near the port. Abil was there, smiling with her clipboard in her hands.
“You look happy, Styra.” Abil nodded as if affirming her identification of the emotion she was seeing.
Styra sipped at a juice. “I am. I think. I don’t know. It has been so long since I felt more than the small trill of excitement when rescuing a client. Now, it seems to happen every few minutes when I am with him.”
“Really? Exciting?” Abil frowned. “Maybe I should get my own. I am next eldest, after all.”
Styra chuckled. “You won’t have to look too hard. I think that now that we are all adults, Mr. Blue has decided to bring the mates to us. Mine was just the first.”
Abil chuckled. “There is another one on the way right now. His ship is docking right now, but I am to keep you away from him. Your pheromones are a little potent.”
Styra blinked. “Really? I can’t
