He smiled. “The burden our females bear is great.”
“Yeah, but guys like Imko giving backrubs is a mighty inducement.”
Mahel smiled. “You will have two doting mates rubbing your back and your feet. And we will be there when our tiny girls are born, and we will raise them and protect them and beat the hell out of the males who try to get to them until they are ready and tell us it is time for us to let them go.”
She kissed him as she absorbed the sweetest thing she could have imagined from this second life. She was dead, she was back, and she was going to have kids. Not bad for a fifty-eight-year-old hydrological engineer.
Chapter Six
She was dozing on Mahel when Kresso joined them. Mahel pressed soft kisses to her cheek and stroked her hair while his purr rumbled under her.
“Her scent came in.” Mahel smiled. She could hear it in his voice.
She knew she was covered in slick and Mahel’s contribution, but she didn’t care. She was purring softly and knew he was grinning.
“Our mate is a mess, Mahel.” Kresso chuckled.
“She’s relaxing into her instincts faster than I imagined.” Mahel was smirking; she could feel it.
Kresso knelt in her line of sight and smiled. “How are you doing, Lyra?”
She smiled. “Nice. Good. How are you?”
“I am well. Sorry, I missed all the fun.”
She gave him a sleepy look. “There is more fun.”
He stroked her back. “Glad to hear it. Can you sit up so I can run some scans on you?”
She fought her pout. She never pouted. “I will get cold.”
“I promise to warm you up if you get chilled. You are still changing, and we need to keep track of the changes. It will help the researchers if any of the others wake up.”
Lyra sat up and scooted so her legs were over the edge of the lounge. Kresso had brought his kit with him and grinned. “You look relaxed.”
Mahel chuckled. “I had to work hard to get that look on her face. Don’t upset her, or she’ll go after your cock. She could suck the plasma out of a grenade.”
Lyra smiled at the surprised Kresso. “It makes him stop talking.”
Kresso laughed. “Remind me to pick up an annoying habit.”
He started the scan and frowned as he went past her belly and focused beneath her navel.
“Why are you frowning?”
He looked up at her. “How do you feel?”
“Fine. Sleepy, horny. Why?”
He chuckled. “You have something interesting going on.”
“What?”
“You will be in heat tomorrow.”
Mahel sat up. “What?” His shock rippled through the air.
“Yeah. You have an egg ready on the left and another on the right.” He pressed a device to her outer thigh and checked a readout. “Your hormone levels are rising.”
