Denier growled. “I will protect you.”
He heard the earnestness in her voice when she said, “You don’t have to. I just need to get them to send my blood kit, and I can defend myself.”
He looked at her. “And you will change shape?”
“Well, yeah.”
“No. No blood kit. No changing shape until we know whether or not you are pregnant.”
The dark look she gave him made him laugh. “I am sorry, pet. But if you are pregnant and you try, you could injure yourself.”
Etgar chuckled. “I am still on the call, Den.”
“Right. Thanks for the warning, but we are still recovering from her heat. She isn’t going anywhere.”

Brit rolled to the side and angled her com unit. She punched in a code and was soon looking at Vallu. “Hey, bride. You came home early.”
Vallu chuckled. “It is much nicer to have sex in one’s own home. I like the sheets better, and my newly acute sense of smell has an easier time of things. So, you are on the island?”
“Yeah. Heat is over. Looks like Ylara set me off... again.”
Vallu laughed. “You rode it out with... help?”
“You could describe it that way. I have signed up to be his mistress. There wasn’t a thorough briefing on what that entailed, but I think we can meet for tea when you finish your honeymoon.”
Vallu chuckled. “Quilting session at my place as soon as you can get your mate to let you wander around.”
“Deal. So, how long do you think house arrest will last?”
“Don’t know. Every time I try and get out of bed, he growls.” Vallu sighed. “And we are taking care of Sabine right now.”
“What’s wrong with Sabine?” Brit sat up and stared at the image of Vallu.
“She’s recovering from her injuries. Shavore is taking care of her.”
“Oh. Got it. So, she’s on lockdown as well.”
Vallu chuckled. “Yeah. Ylara has yet to surface, but I will let you know when I find her.”
“Please. If not, we will have to have the other precogs find her, and that could be embarrassing, though her heat should have been satisfied by now.”
“I will have Etgar look into it. You can also ask Denier. I mean, I told her that catching the bouquet was legally binding, but I am not sure that Riithan is going to bring her back.”
A dark arm wrapped around Brit’s waist and pulled her back. “Gotta go, bye.”
Vallu laughed, and then, she squawked in surprise. The call disconnected.
Brit caressed Denier’s arm. “I am worried about Ylara. Vallu hasn’t heard from her since the wedding.”
“I will go looking for her. Riithan stands out and is easy to locate. I am guessing that he and she are in close proximity.”
She felt his erection against her back, and she turned to him. “I thought your rut was over.”
He smiled. “Did you think that I would only want you during rut?”
She scowled. “Well, yeah. I know you would want more eventually, but I thought you would be sated.”
