Krix moved his hand between them, and he rubbed his thumb against her clit until she felt a hot rush inside her again, and she twitched after the orgasm.
She came to herself and stared up at him.
He smiled down at her. “Not this time, but do you want kids?”
She was pinned to him, but he seemed chatty, so she answered. “Yes. I am content to be an aunt if needed but do want a family eventually. Work is going to be nuts, now that Desmond is gone.”
He smiled. “I am an only child, so my parents are watching me closely.”
“My mom has siblings, and they all have kids, and all want kids and more kids.” She smiled. “My mom was underpowered compared to the other members of her family, but she was strong and good at her job. She’s always wanted more direct family than me, and I would love to see the look in her eyes as a grandma for the first time. She would finally be able to stand with her siblings with her head high. There’s a lot of subtle classism there. They love her, but she’s the one who only knows truth. She can’t punch through a wall.”
“She’s never been married?”
“Um, no, but we are working on it.”
He grinned. “What do you mean?”
“Well, a few years ago, when I was still a minor, Mom and I had to put in for repairs at an island. The local defender was smitten with her, and they spent time together. Nothing went beyond flirtation, but he’s still interested, and so is she, so... they are going on a date.” It was weird to have this conversation while impaled and locked, but Krix was asking.
“Who is the defender?”
She started laughing, and then gasped as her movements tugged things. “Um, Nautilus.”
Krix froze. “Nautilus?”
“Yes.”
“Oh. Okay. He’s a solid guy.”
She snickered. “Yeah, he and I have chatted, and I gave him full authorization to date my mom. He called her immediately.”
She smiled. “Mom looked equal parts happy and appalled at my attitude. But she really liked him back then, and I already planted the seed that she’s not too old to have kids if he’s spry.”
Krix stared at her. “You didn’t.”
“Oh, I did. And when I disconnected, I called him Dad. So, I think he knows I am in favour of the connection.”
“That was very obvious.”
“I was raised by someone who can force truth. It is just easier. It also makes me a dangerous hostage. I tell folks whatever they ask.”
“I see. So, you need watching.”
“Naw, I need a rescuer. I do a lot of stupid stuff.”
He chuckled. “I can help you there, as long as you call me when something happens.”
“Yup. Zera can even give you the frequency for my panic implant. That’s what notified her the first time.”
“That is why she had your location.”
“Yeah. Betcha can’t tell I had implants.”
He snorted and pressed his forehead to hers. “I can’t, and I was really looking.”
Krix began to rock slowly against her, and the gentle motion caused a wild swirling of sensation to move through her. He smiled. “You shift from appearance to appearance when I am inside you.”
She gasped and clutched at him. “I am trying to figure out the best fit. It’s all the same.”
