Atorax lifted the dull, gray cylinder and carried it to an airlock, then ejected the AI into space and set it on the appropriate course using a tractor beam, propelling it away in its chosen direction.
“I have him to thank for everything,” Ator'aq reflected. “He said that I would find a warrior who would be crucial in our war. But he said nothing about that warrior becoming my wife and queen.”
“If he had, would you have believed him?” Olivia asked.
Her husband leaned in and kissed her. He had been doing that a lot. “Not before I saw you. And then I would have been able to think of nothing else.”

When the evening came on coronation day, Ator'aq saw that his wife was about to faint from exhaustion. He took her by the arm and escorted her to their quarters. He helped her undress and laid her in their bed.
She peered up at him. He stood over her, smiling warmly. He looked so handsome in his uniform that she felt that special tingle go through her again.
“You know, I'm not that tired,” she said and folded the covers back so he could see that she had slipped off her underwear. “Come join me?”
He took off his jacket in a way that didn't pay much heed to the many hours it had taken Earth's finest tailors to make it.
“I believe I will, my queen.”
And there was that damn smirk again.

StarSet (The Warrior Prince's Claim - BBW Science Fiction Romance)
A ship breach at the hands of blood-eyed acquisitioners, a bleeding... thing on the 8th deck disembodied at the hands of a Teleran prince, and the royal warrior's intense interest in forbidden fraternization with the duty-bound Shala puts the voluptuous of officer in a compromising position, even as the prince is sure to be imprisoned for spilling a Tavalar ward's blood.
Shala can't wait to get off of Telera One the second it docks and recolonizes the people of the original Telera. Gruff, ornery, and generally suspicious of outsiders, they haven't made her time easy as an officer of the allied forces. So, when their prince is forced to defend himself and nearly murder an intruder, and the captain delays reports of it, she's understandably confused. Especially when despite the no-fraternization rule of the allied forces, she's invited to one of the Telerans' most sacred spirit-revering ceremonies as his esteemed “plus one.”
Can she really keep denying how hot the room gets when he enters it, or the not-uncomfortably invasive way he looks at her? And when he goes all in for the claim, will she accept an uncertain future as a princess, in the middle of a burgeoning blood feud with the father of the intruder he bloodied?
It seems like a sure dance with the devil; so why is she making her way toward the dance floor...
