He chuckled. “Did you dream?”
“I dreamt of air and sunlight and freedom to move. Right now, I have air and sunlight.” She moved her head toward him as he continued brushing her neck with his lips.
He sighed. “Your scent is faint but very pretty.”
“Well, I have only been wearing my own body for less than a week.” She smiled. “Plus, I have created this field around me that reduces the possibility of getting things in or out.”
“Will you allow me to make a temporary claim?” He sat up and met her gaze with his silver one.
“A what?”
“Well, it will let me defend you if any Sethir end up on the island and spot you, and if I injure them, there are legal defenses.”
“I will injure them.”
“Omegas are not legally allowed to cause bodily harm. It doesn’t happen, so there has never been a set of laws regarding it.” He stroked the curve of her waist. “They would start grabbing first and deal with the loss of limbs immediately.”
“I could figure out how to use Jeron’s activation and simply get away.”
He chuckled. “You have collected quite a few.”
“Yeah. They are like templates I pull out when I need them, but I have to figure out how to use them.” She smiled. “Sometimes it takes a while.”
“Does it ever cause injury?”
“It does, but I get over it as long as Zella isn’t there.”
“What will happen when you see your sister?”
“Oh, she’s gonna pitch a fit and try to find a way to get them to drag me back to Aksalla.”
“Is that a true concern?”
“Yeah. I mean, she’s going to try, but she has been in control of my body for years. She is probably terrified to be out on her own.”
“May I place a fading mark on you?”
She looked up at him and saw an extensive future. Him holding her, laughing with him, learning to swim, playing with dolphins. First and all subsequent kids and a lot of intense sex. He didn’t do playful sex very well.
She stared and blinked.
He smiled slightly. “Well?”
She nodded. “Yes, I suppose.”
Yukaro smiled and bent, grazing her skin with his very sharp teeth. Curls of consciousness touched hers, and tendrils of heat sought out nerves and washed them with pleasure.
She blinked slowly. “Oh. That’s what the bite is for.”
He licked slowly at the light scratch. “It is. We are linked to our mates for life. So, you have absorbed a seer?”
She shivered as the slow licking made her body warm. “A couple of them.”
“What do you see when you look at me?” He raised his head.
“A lot more than a first look deserves.” She saw him sitting with a bunch of kids, and they were having a tea party. He had on a small tiara.
She shook her head and rubbed her forehead.
