“Of course. We'll skip that and go straight for the final segment.”
Xark'ion bent down to kiss her hair. “I love my Earthling female.”
“And I love my lusty warrior.”
He stroked the twins across their cheeks, both at the same time. “It appears both our offspring are sleeping soundly. Do you think we can make our escape right now? Everyone will understand. The cake ritual is complete and the coffee ritual is urgent.”

Her everything.
