brother.
****
Natalie was spending time each day with her Ankida , Peet and Reeko, getting to know them. She was happy they had agreed to court her slowly. Sometimes it was hard; she was insanely attracted to the strong, dour warriors. When they described their province on HeVan, she realized it was much like Scotland. She began to think of them as highlanders, like the men in the historical romances she often read. Of course, she had two men, which was a new one and the main reason she was moving slowly.
They each spoke of their childhoods and what growing up was like on each of their planets. She introduced them to movies and had given them a large list of must-see videos so they could understand her culture better. It also gave them something to do while she went about her duties. They had wanted to act as her personal guard , but she had put a stop to that idea.
Where was the danger? Natalie thought.
Being one of only a few women on the ship who wasn’t pregnant, Natalie and Jennifer had both requested duties on the ship. Jennifer worked in the kitchen and Natalie was in charge of all visitors. She’d enjoyed being the official greeter when King Ben first came on board. Her background in marketing made her a natural for the role. Her seventh degree black belt added an extra boost of confidence. In addition to their conversations—Peet and Reeko, when they learned of her expertise, enjoyed working out with her. They all learned and it gave them more opportunities to hold her close.
The warriors she dealt with every day responded to female authority, making it much easier to juggle all the requests they still received from the Venger on a daily basis. Many of the House representatives wanted to meet individually with the queen. They had concerns about the situations in their individual Houses and this was the perfect opportunity to discuss them with Addie. The queen was more or less a captive audience; her Ankida made sure she didn’t overtire herself.
For those who were given an appointment, Natalie met their shuttle and escorted them to Addie’s cabin. After their time was up, she interrupted the visit and escorted them back to the shuttle bay. She often wished for roller skates on busy days. It seemed as if she spent all her time walking the corridors between the shuttle bay and the queen’s quarters. She considered it her cardio exercise.
Still, she was glad to have something to do. Long space voyages were pretty boring. It was almost like taking a cruise: look out the porthole and the view was always the same. The fun happened when they hit port.
They had cut back on the travel between ships during most of their flight due to the difficulty in docking while both ships were moving. In those instances when it was necessary, they allowed the shuttle to come into the landing bay. It was only during these brief stops for supplies or for other reasons when she got super busy, that she enjoyed it. Besides, all the walking made her butt look great. Since she had met her Ankida , this was especially important to her.
They had been orbiting the planet for eight days. They had agreed to orbit for ten to allow for the maximum amount of women to become pregnant. Being in one place for so long, resulted in a lot of comings and goings between the two ships. They were also taking advantage of the king’s hospitality and reloading the ship’s stores. They now had more than enough beautiful maternity clothes and also two store rooms full of things for the babies as thank you gifts from the grateful women of KowLer. If they stayed for much longer, though, they would need water. It was much harder to fill the water reservoirs without docking at a station. Arjun didn’t trust the KowLer that far as of yet. Natalie decided to stop in and see what Jennifer had cooking as soon as she got a break.
Jennifer was really busy using all the new fresh
