orgasm if I am not in the room and horny.”
He snuck up on her and kissed her chin, which opened up another round of her trying to drown him. Finally she gave up and sat panting in a corner. “So, you are saying that I am in heat. Kennek mentioned it on the shuttle, but I didn’t think he was serious.”
“Oh, he was serious. Your cycle stopped when you became an Agent, right?”
“Yeah.”
“When you allowed your glands to be reactivated it woke up your reproductive system. You are now going to be in heat until you get pregnant.”
Pregnant, whoa. She had not thought about crib midgets. “Is there a way to end this without having kids?”
“Only having Medical turn off your hormones again. And even then, they will simply freeze you in this mode with your body sending out thousands of pheromones trying to get pregnant.”
She asked in a small voice, “Do you want kids?”
He wrapped his arms around her and lifted her into his lap again. If the erection he was now sporting was any indication, the answer was yes. “Yes, I do. I asked you to be my mate because I want offspring with you, and to see your face every moment of every day.”
Tears seeped from behind her closed lashes. That was what she needed to hear. She cuddled against him tightly and he stroked her hair. Life was good. And with the sudden pressure of his hand on her mask, she could see again.
He was wearing tearstained eyes that were bright red, marks of his mating fever, which matched her own. Laughing and crying at the same time, she leaned up to kiss him. A solid kiss, a meeting of mouths, emotions and souls.
With sudden clarity, she realized that he was hers for life and she was his. It was all a little heady and it had her straddling him to get a better grip on his hair for the kiss.
His obvious interest in her was re-awakening as the kiss continued. She shifted against him and trapped his cock between her belly and his. She was definitely interested, but she was not sure how much more she could take. “Can we just cuddle for a bit?”
His eyes sparked with heat and amusement. “Sure, but watch out. If you fall asleep, you are fair game.” He got to his feet, water sluicing off him, dumping her back into the bath.
She got up on her own and gracefully took the hand that he extended to help her out of the tub. “That was sneaky.” She flicked his cock with the snap of a finger and he winced, but took the punishment in stride.
He wrapped her from head to toe in a fluffy towel and, after a moment of carrying her squealing, kicking body, dropped her back onto the bed that they had shared. Only now there was a slight difference, someone had changed the sheets and coverlet. Seval could tell by the feel of the fabric under her hands. Someone had been in their room. “Vorabenik, please tell me that your mother doesn’t make your bed.”
Chapter Fourteen
He laughed and told her that when they went to the bathing room, he had rung for one of the servants to change the sheets and leave them some food. The food in question was on a small table behind them. “I thought you wanted to cuddle.”
She agreed that she did and crawled into his arms to rest there, with him spooning her from behind. After all the stresses of the day, she did the unthinkable, she fell asleep in his arms.
When she woke, her body was on fire. The only thing she was sure of was that he was inside her moving deliberately. He kept one hand on her belly and thrust slowly and softly into her with the beat of her breathing. She relaxed into him and turned her head to look into his serious features.
“That was very sneaky.” Seval was unable to say anything else as he took her mouth in the most serious kiss that he had ever laid on her. Twisting her head and shoulders to give better access, she gripped his hair and held onto him as he continued to thrust into her in that same slow beat. As her body’s reaction flared, she used her own
