Yes! He wanted to shout his agreement, but she still wasn’t looking at him. He placed a finger under her chin to lift her face to his. “Is this what you want?”
Her eyes filled with tears, and his heart sank, but then she nodded. “Yes, I really do. I never thought I would want to have a child, but my life has changed so much. And you will be a wonderful father, Baralt.”
“Our child will never doubt that she is loved,” he promised her.
His kotra throbbed eagerly, and he lifted her dress so that he could press it against her sweet, wet cunt. “Perhaps we should begin practicing.”
“We get plenty of practice,” she said dryly, but she moved slowly along his slick shaft. “And not until the resort is finished. I don’t want to be carrying a baby around a construction site.”
“Which reminds me of my other news.” Unable to wait any longer, he lifted her enough to find her entrance, then worked his way into the silken fist of her channel. They both groaned.
“Wh-what news?” Her eyes fluttered closed as she rocked her hips, adjusting to his size.
“Njkall wants to send us to see the Emperor.”
“What?” Her eyes flew open, and she stopped the sensuous dance.
He took over, moving her up and down his kotra in the same easy motion.
“I can’t go. I’m an escaped—oh God, that feels good.”
“There are no records of that, and even if there were, the Emperor has forbidden all trafficking on pre-spaceflight worlds.”
Her tight little passage was beginning to pulsate around him, and he knew she was on the verge of coming, but she tried to continue the argument.
“But…”
“He has a human mate, and I’m sure she’d love to meet you.”
“But…”
Her body quivered as he held her suspended at the tip of his kotra. “Say yes,” he coaxed.
“Yes,” she cried, and he slammed up into her. She shuddered and came, her impossibly tight cunt milking him in long, hard pulses that triggered his own climax. She collapsed against his chest as his ring expanded, locking them together, and he held her close.
Several minutes later, she frowned up at him. “That was a dirty trick.”
“What was?” he asked innocently.
“Not letting me come until I agreed to go see this Emperor of yours.”
“It’s a great honor,” he assured her.
“Letting me come or seeing the Emperor?”
“Both,” he said, his face solemn, and she laughed.
“I must admit, not many diner waitresses get to meet an emperor. What about you? Are you excited?”
“Not as excited as I am about your suggestion, but I hope that it will help Hothrest.”
“And he really has a human mate?”
“He does. Which means he is a very lucky male, although not, of course, as lucky as I am.”
He gently stroked her cheek, the same way he had done the first time they’d met, but this time, she smiled at him, her eyes full of love, and as he bent his head to kiss her, he silently thanked the gods for bringing them together.
