Rolling to my back, I tuck one arm behind my head and settle my other hand on my cock.

“What shall we do tonight,Kosha?” I ask her, letting my hand slide lazily up and down my thick shaft. At its base I can feel myvolsysquirming, seeking.

In the doorway, she shifts, and everything in my body locks up when she takes a step.Closer.

“Are you coming to me, myb’dyna?”

She takes another step, and another. Her small, bared feet seem to float across the floor until she’s standing at the foot of my bed. My heart is pounding in my chest, and I’m just about to sit up in bed when she lifts a leg and starts to crawl up onto the mattress.

Jebi!I’m frozen, terrified to do more than breathe, lest I frighten her away. I can feel her slight weight as her knees straddle my legs and she slowly makes her way up my body.

When she gets to my hips, she pauses. Her eyes are wide; the pupils, which are usually small and round, have eaten up all but a thin band of gray. I can hear each of her soft breaths.

“What will you do now?” I ask.

She inches closer until she’s straddling me. If she were real, I would be able to feel the heat from her core right over my cock. Instead the dream only imagines the slight pressure of her. My hands, which have fallen to my sides, itch to grip her hips. My throat is dry when I swallow.

“Please,” she says in the same breathy voice I heard—that I’ve imagined—ever since I first saw her on the desert planet, so many revs ago.

“Please what,Ashluh?” I whisper back. “What do you want from me?”

“Please.” Her small hands fist the covers on either side of me. Her expression is changing to concern, and her eyes dart back and forth. “Please. Please!”

“What is it? What is wrong?” My heart feels like it’s being gripped in an icy fist. What is it she wants? “I don’t know how to help you?”

Her head swivels back and forth, and she is looking more panicked by the moment. “Please! PLEASE!!” Her hands scrabble on the bedding, the fibers sifting through her fingers like sand.

Then, as if something grabbed her around her waist, she is pulled backward. She screams, a thin, terrified sound. “HELP ME!”

“No!” My body jolts upright, my hands reaching for her, but she’s gone before I can reach her, and then I’m falling through space.

My body hits the hard ground with a thud, jolting me awake from the dream. My arm is outstretched, as if I were lunging for her, even in my deepest sleep.

My chest aches, and my throat feels raw like I was screaming for her. I curl my legs under me and lean back against my bed. Air heaves in and out of my lungs.

Just a dream.

But it didn’t feel that way.

I dig my palms into the sockets of my eyes and drag them down my face, over my mouth and thevolsythat grow from my chin. When I first met the human female, I knew immediately she was myb’dyna. My destiny. Only to find out she was just a youngling, years away from maturity. So, I did the only thing I could think to do. I left. Fled. Ran as fast and as far as I could. To give her time and space.

I’ve driven myself into taking every bounty I can find to keep from thinking of her. Even as I find myself constantly buying anything and everything I come across that somehow reminds me of her or I think she might like. Clothes that will complement her. Jewels that will shine like her eyes. Textiles in the softest fabrics. The most pleasing scents. Trinkets and baubles I think will appeal to her.

I’ve gathered revs’ worth of things in preparation for the time when we are reunited. For when she might accept me. After watching her being ripped away from me, I know that time has come.

Pushing myself up from the floor, I race through my cruiser to the cockpit, where I pull up the nav chart and punch in the coordinates to Pamia. I’ve stayed away for as long as I can. Whether she’s ready or not, it’s time to claim myAshlah.
