There are all sizes in each
design, so you don’t need to worry about taking something or not. Choose
whatever you want.” Pressing a kiss to her lips, he waved her into the room, then
followed before settling on a crate to one side.
She went through the clothing,
shooting him looks from time to time. “Your people cover up far more of their
bodies than mine do, ”
she said with a frown as she looked at the clothing. “I’m not saying that it’s
bad, just that it’s something I will need to get used to.”
“Not really. These are going to
one of the larger moon colonies where it is not nearly as warm as the home
world, or Craegin for that matter. When we return home, I’ll take you shopping to one of the
seamstress shops. Although I will admit that when I saw everything I was rather
pleased by the fact you would be mostly covered up.”
That had her grinning. She touched the fabrics and from time
to time lifted one up to rub against her cheek. “They ’ re all so soft.” She had soft
clothing back home as well, but nothing like this.
After half an hour she had
selected a full wardrobe for herself, and then some. “Now the question is, how
do we get this back to our rooms and where in the world do we put all of it?”
She realized that she might have gone overboard in her selections.
“We move clothing from one rack
to the others and put yours on the rack we have cleared. Then we can wheel it to the cargo
lift and take it to our rooms. And you haven’t seen your closet yet. We’ll make
room.” Pushing to his feet, he moved to the rack with the least amount of clothing remaining on it and began to transfer items over to
the other racks.
She had to grin at that fact. “So your people realize that
women need far more clothing than men do?” she teased, moving to assist him.
“As long as you don’t mind me getting so many clothes and you don’t mind paying
for them.” She’d been a small child the last time anyone had paid for all of
her things, and she felt bad that he was doing so now.
“I don’t mind in the least,
little one. Except for my familial home’s upkeep I spend practically nothing
that I earn from the military.” Giving the rack a push, he headed for the door.
“How often are you at your
family estates? The way you make it sound you spend all of your time on your
ship and not on your planet. Not that I mind, because I’ve never been on a
ship, so I’m finding this all quite fascinating. Well, another ship aside from
the pleasure cruise of course.”
“I’m out here the majority of a
solar cycle training one class or another. I have a lovely couple who act as
caretakers while I’m away. They have been working for me for at least twenty
solar cycles now, maybe more. You’ll like them, and I know they will adore you.
The wife is actually Craegin. She was kidnapped as a child, but her kin never came looking for her. She was
raised on an outlying planet until she met her soul-bond mate and they joined.”
She shook her head in stupefaction . “If we ever have a child and
it goes missing we will turn over the universe looking for them. Her family
must have been deceased or I’m sure they would have looked for her.”
Chevon shrugged. “She doesn’t
remember them, and at that particular time there was a lot of unrest on the
outlying planets. And if we ever have a child who is taken as she was I will
tear both worlds apart to find them. With you at my side,” he added when she shot him a
look. “Always with you at my side, Laura.”
“Great answer.” She had to smile. The man was already
learning what made her tick and part of that was being included in any and all
decisions that were made in their lives.
“I thought so, too,” he said.
Sending a smile her direction, he wheeled the rack into a much larger lift. She
noticed it was designed differently and had manual controls easily accessible
unlike the others on the cruiser. “Many will claim an old man cannot learn
design, so you don’t need to worry about taking something or not. Choose
whatever you want.” Pressing a kiss to her lips, he waved her into the room, then
followed before settling on a crate to one side.
