“Don’t remind me!” Mattie laughed and elbowed her friend. “I can’t believe how wrong I was!” She narrowed her eyes at Sophie. “Hey, did you have any idea when you suggested that Grath and I fake-date for my parents that this would happen? I mean, that we’d end up together?”
Sophie laughed.
“Well…maybe. You know, the opposite of love isn’t hate—it’s indifference. And you and Grath wereneverindifferent to each other. You got on each other’s nerves so much, I was sure there had to besomethingbetween you.”
“You were right,” Mattie admitted, laughing. “There definitely was—issomething between us.We can’t keep our hands off each other!”
She and Sophie went into another fit of giggles and then she heard a deep voice inside her head.
“Hey, what’s so funny, baby?”
“Oh, nothing—just talking with Sophie,”she sent back to Grath and made a silent motion to Sophie, letting her know she was having a mental conversation with her mate.“Did you explain everything to Commander Sylvan?”
“Sure did—we’re going to be assigned to Class 1 planets until after you give birth.”
“That’s just what I hoped for!”Mattie exclaimed.“And speaking of that, Sophie says she can get me set up with an early pregnancy test so we can find out the sex of the baby.”
“Better hold off on that for a little while,”Grath sent, surprising her.
“What? But why? Don’t you want to know?”
“Yeah, but first I want to see if I can plantanotherbaby inside you,”he growled through their link.“We should probably wait until I finish breeding you—then we can find out the sexes of all the babies at once.”
“Grath, you’re so bad!”Mattie sent back, laughing, but she got the definite sense that the big Hybrid was only halfway kidding. There was a hunger behind his words—a deep desire that she felt too.
Opening her eyes, she looked at Sophie.
“Grath is telling me there’s something we need to do back at our suite, but could I call you about getting that pregnancy test later?”
Sophie’s green eyes were dancing in a way that let Mattie knew she understood.
“Absolutely—go ahead and call me when you get the chance,” she said, squeezing Mattie’s arm again. “And I’ll talk to you later—if Grath ever lets you out of your suite!”
Mattie laughed and blushed but she knew it was true—she and her new mate just couldn’t get enough of each other. Even now she was longing to bond with him all over again.
As they walked to the door of Sophie’s suite, she reflected that the past week had been a wild ride. But despite all the crazy things that had happened to her, this had definitely been the best Christmas ever.
