will. I have always wanted to get a good look at the Almoss gardens.”
Xeric nodded. “As kinswoman of the Almoss heir, you are welcome anytime.”
The bright smiles on the Zels’ faces were a good way to take her leave. Lilia nodded to Yeena and Xarit.
Yeena smiled. “See you at home, daughter.”
Xeric lifted her in his arms. “Not for a day or so, Mother.”
Lilia laughed and held on as she was carried out of the Zel home and settled in a transport. “You don’t have to carry me.”
“I want to. I like to know where you are at any given time.”
He settled behind the controls and keyed in their destination. Once that was done and the vehicle was moving, he pulled her into his lap.
They kissed softly and constantly on the whole trip to the Almoss home. When they arrived, Xeric had to stroke her cheek. “We are home.”
She blinked out of her warm haze and looked up. “Oh my.”
The interior of the courtyard was wearing hundreds of flowers, and when they left the vehicle, the scents assailed her and blended into a copy of her perfume.
She smiled shyly. “You decorated with me.”
He nodded and helped her out of the vehicle. “As the new Almoss heir, it was appropriate. And honestly, it kept me from going over to the Zel house.”
She looked at the walls hung with long strands of woven flowers. “You did all this?”
“I had help. The staff wanted to make sure you knew you were welcome. With Lemko’s trial coming up, they want you where you can defend them.”
“I will. If he comes back here, he will be sent out with all the force I can manage, and that is quite a bit.”
Xeric laughed, “It is. You also have me to call upon. Now, enough idle chatter; I wish to actually have some privacy with you to discuss things.”
She thought she had an idea of the things he wanted to discuss, but after they were in the larger mated quarters, they removed their clothing and he settled her on the petal-strewn bed.
When he settled next to her with his hand on her hip, face to face in the softly perfumed space, he whispered, “Tell me about your life. From your first memory until now.”
Lilia blinked. “That is a little heavy for a mating night.”
“You tell me about your life, I will tell you about mine and we will begin our mating on even footing.”
She nodded and took a deep breath, starting with what she knew about where she had been found, six months old, nearly dead and wrapped in newspaper.
Lilia went through the litany of failed adoptions, the foster mother who used the switch and finally the woman who had offered her education as a way out.
The jobs and folks she had worked for was an easy conversation, and finally, she ended with, “Then, I went to work for the Zels, and here I am.”
He smiled and went through his early schooling being monitored by others of his genetic class. He went through his training and the strained relationship with his family.
When they had both poured their hearts out, Lilia cuddled up to him and wrapped her arm around his back, stroking his skin and holding him close.
The stroking was reciprocated, and soon, the caresses increased into a gentle arousal.
Xeric stroked her clit and slid a finger inside her, working in and out until she twisted against his hand. The sun was setting outside the window, and as the night took over, the bed began to glow.
Her olfactory senses combined with her hormonal triggers, and she felt the surge of liquid around his finger. She wanted to be mad about the flower petals that were setting off her arousal, but she had other things to deal with. He slid two fingers into her, and after she moved against him again, he added a third.
She was rocking her hips against his hand, her skin lit with the soft glow of the flower petals. His features were cast into soft relief by that same glow, and when he lifted her thigh over his hip and pressed his cock into her, he held her to him as he rolled to his back.
