Mollie took the other one, and the two of them led me away, chattering about all the things they had ready. “We’ll get you some panties! The guys may go commando, but these work pants aren’t exactly soft where it counts.”
As we approached the door, I looked back over my shoulder to throw Wrin a smile.
He’d been right. With him and Max and all these women...
TheDaredevilwas my home.
CHAPTER TWENTY
Wrin
I shouldn’t have begrudged the other Hyoo-mon women wanting some time with Vivv alone.
Yet I did.
I couldn’t tear my eyes from her as she disappeared into the corridor leading to the rest of the ship.
A meaty hand clapped me on the back. “Frek, I know that look. You got it bad,” Sul said, a touch of sympathy underscoring his jovial voice.
“It’s hard before you mate bond,” Kirel agreed, coming up to stand at my other side.
“It’s not that,” I said. “We’re already bonded.”
“What? Way to go!” Sul crowed. “That was fast. You beat Gravin’s record. He’s going to be so frekking pissed.”
“You’re already mate bonded, but”—Kirel turned his sharp eyes on me—“you’re not happy about it. Why not?”
“I’m thrilled. It’s what every Zaarn expects, to mate bond right away.” Then all the thoughts I hadn’t allowed myself to acknowledge finally overwhelmed me. I’d held them off by focusing on getting Vivv safely off Zaar and to theDaredevil. With that accomplished, I could no longer ignore my concerns. “But it’s not what Hyoo-mons expect. It’s not what any of you did with your females. Vivv and I were forced to mate bond to prove we’re fated mates. She agreed because I would have been killed otherwise. She didn’t do it—”
I broke off, unable to grit out the words, no matter how much they echoed inside my head.
She didn’t do it because she loves me.
“Aw, frek. I didn’t know.” Sul rubbed at the back of his neck.
“She’ll come around,” Kirel said.
“Frek yeah she will!” Sul’s voice regained its cheer, and he hooked a thumb toward his friend. “And if she doesn’t, Kirel will teach you how to sweet talk her.”
“You make it sound as if I bedded every female in the seven sectors before meeting my Hay-Zul.”
“Well, didn’t you?” The big merc laughed. “Besides, Wrin sure as frek won’t get any help from me. It’s only ever been Mol-Lee for me.” Then he grinned. “But I can tell you one thing that works. Kizz her. Kizz her everywhere.”
Frek! I forgot about Hyoo-mon kizzing!
I’d licked the glorious honey from between her legs, I’d laved her sweet little breasts with my tongue, but I hadn’t done the kizzing the females liked so well.
I hadn’t feasted on her mouth.
Yet.
With theDaredevilstationed at Breyva to protectARK 1instead of flying active missions, not much had happened with the ship while I was away. I left the bridge only a few minutes after entering it. My crew had everything well in hand, as they should—I’d trained every one of them.
Restlessness ate at me, my mind turning to our bigger problems:
The Grug.
And finding a place for all the still-frozen Hyoo-mons.
