“Of course.”

Morgan’s peel of laughter drew his gaze.Her bright eyes and pink cheeks highlighted her beauty, while the slight jiggle of her pert breasts as her shoulders shook intrigued his cock.His tail rose slightly before he wrangled it around his chair leg.Goddess, I’d love to see her riding me, her flesh all dewy and pink, those luscious globes free of confinement and in my hands.Despite my best efforts, I want her now more than ever.

To give his hard cock a chance to settle, he offered to clean up.He remained seated after everyone left to hide the bulge.Standing, he snorted in disgust at himself as he picked up the dirty dishes and put them in the recycler.

I think it’s time to seriously consider going to Costonia.I’m not sure I can continue to resist her.

Chapter 20

Thetimetotravelto Arona passed quickly now that Niksen and Lollek spent time with the women.With Niksen’s relationship with Krinir resolved to her satisfaction, Morgan realized she liked the Orkite’s true personality.Funny, kind, and a good head on her shoulders made her beautiful inside and out.I almost wish I could still hate her.When she was queen bitch, I didn’t feel jealous at all of her stunning looks.But now, I wonder if Stalad regrets turning her down.

The females trained with the humans and taught the women defensive moves.The Orkites also asked Rain and Kara to teach them some of their human fighting techniques.Each learned more about each other’s species and cultural beliefs.

Sitting on the floor in the cargo bay on the mats, they drank from water pouches and talked.

“What is going on with you and Stalad?Have you taken him to your bed yet?”

Morgan’s eyes flew up to meet Lollek’s.

“Nothing.No.It’s as he said to Niksen.He doesn’t know if there is someone waiting for him, so he doesn’t want to pursue anything.”

“You know the male wants to do wonderfully dirty things with you, don’t you?”Niksen sighed.“If you’re lucky, he’ll be as talented as Krinir.”

“Stop.”Morgan tossed an empty water pouch at the Orkite.“It’s not like that.”

“Of course it is.As soon as he knows he’s single and free, he’ll be all over you like white on rice.”Kara waggled her eyebrows.“When that time comes, if you want to borrow some of the outfits I made for Rumaska, just let me know.I kept them for my own private time with Crax.”

“There’s definitely heat between you two.”Rain stretched her legs out in front of her and leaned back on her hands.“You have to respect the guy being honorable.What a difference from a lot of Earth men.”

Morgan picked at non-existent lint on her pants.

“I’m sure it’s just sexual attraction.He won’t want me long term.They never do.It’s worse now that I was a sex slave.”

“The right man won’t care about your past beyond how it affects you now.You had no choice but to survive any way you could.”Abby pinned her with a sharp look.“Stalad does not strike me as a male who would make you feel less because of it.”

“No, he never has.I just feel like we’re in limbo until he regains his memories.I care for him enough that I’m willing to risk that nothing will ever happen, but I just want to know one way or another.”I’m still not sure I’m worthy of him.

“What are you going to do about it?”Rain brought her knees to her chest and sat forward with her elbows resting on them.

“What can I do?”

“Push the issue.”Niksen’s tusks jutted out.“It worked for me…eventually.”

The ladies giggled.

“How?”

“Talk to Makai about heading to Costonia sooner rather than later.We reach Arona tomorrow and we have no jobs waiting.Sounds like a good time to take the detour.”Kara’s pink hair stood up after she combed her fingers through it.

“I agree with Kara.Time to rip the bandage off.”Abby finished her water pouch and folded into a small square.

“We’ll back you.”Rain’s forehead wrinkled.“Would you stay on Costonia with him while you figure it out?I’m not sure how long theFortitudecould remain there, especially if someone hires us.”

“Probably.Although I’d miss you guys a lot.”Morgan rubbed her palms on her thighs and sniffed.“The last few years I’ve had to say goodbye to too many friends.”I miss Sophia and Faith.I’ll miss these women, too.

“Hey, we’d stay in touch.”Kara held up her tablet.“As much as I enjoy having you around, I think if you could use your degree and teach, you’d feel more fulfilled.At the very least, you deserve the chance to find out if it’s right for you.”

“You’re our friend and we want you to find what makes you happiest,” Abby said with a gentle smile.
