“It is not my intention to order you to do anything. I only want to keep you safe.” Relyn was not above pleading with his new mate.
“I’m not made out of glass. I’m from Philly for goodness sake.”
“I thought you were from Terra.”
“Philly is a city on Terra. It’s in the U.S. The United States,” she explained.
“So it is like your clan,” he tried to reason.
Nora opened her mouth, then closed it again, shaking her head.
“Never mind. Just… my people are tough. We got hit hard by the Suhlik and even before that, we have always been fighters. It’s the first capital of… never mind.”
“There are dangers here, and it is my duty to protect you.”
“That’s sweet, hun, but you’ve already made it clear that you intend to stay here, and I’ve gotta find my way home.”
“Our circumstances have changed,” Relyn said, nearly forgetting the good news that he had for her. “Rutra is letting us go. All of us.”
Her eyes narrowed and she crossed her hands over her chest.
“What’s the catch?”
“Catch?” There was nothing to catch.
“When someone offers a deal that is too good to be true, it means there is a downside. What does Rutra get out of the deal?”
“He believes we will capture Alana for him, and bring her back here, or at least alert him to her hiding place.”
“This sounds like it was a very bad break up,” Nora said.
“It was before my time on the ship, but it means that we will be heading back to the ship shortly.”
Nora huffed and then went over to the crate. “You hear that buddy? It looks like you get to go back sooner than I thought. Doesn’t that make you happy?”
The creature in the crate let out a sound that Relyn inferred meant that it was not at all happy. Relyn had no interest in its happiness. He was only interested in his mate’s pleasure. And now that the immediate danger was over, his own arousal was beginning to mount.
“There will be some time before we may reboard,” Relyn said.
“I thought we were fighting,” Nora said.
“I have resolved it. I have won. You have won.”
“I have, have I?” She was not convinced.
“We are getting on the ship and heading towards Terra. This will make you happy and grateful.”
“Grateful, eh?”
Nora approached him, a half smile on her face. She reached out and ran a hand over the front of his trousers. His cock leaped up to greet her.
“So if this isn’t your real shape, how the heck are you hard?”
“I have no idea. It has never happened before, unless I willed it.”
“So you are unwilling?”
“No, I am very willing,” Relyn confessed.
