“Fine, I’ll do your Tide pod challenge, but can I ask a question first?”

“Always, pup.”

“You want to spend time with me, right?”

My hearts stop. Odette’s voice carries so much vulnerability when she asks me that. I could spend every moment of the rest of my life with her and still it wouldn’t be enough time with my mate. I ache to be near her when my big dumb mouth agrees to a meeting. Drowning her with my attention should be my only job, and I’m still failing.

“More than anything,” I promise, kissing her softly. “This transition is just taking a bit to set in.”

“Some pills are hard to swallow, but we’ve all got to do it at some point,” she says before climbing off me.

I watch her, the bounce in her step that makes her pink backside jiggle hypnotising me. There is nothing I wouldn’t do for her. I’d travel to the edge of the known universe if she asked. Axilariansknowtheir mates and our bonds are life long. We are a species who have always believed in finding our true mate and giving them our everything.

Why am I not giving Odette the time she wants then? The time that I want for that matter? Did existing in that gooey human body for an evening scramble my brain? I’m filled with questions as I watch my mate pick up the hard pill she’s got to take for the better.

She pops the capsule and her eyes widen as she swallows the pod.

“Tastes like a pornstar.”

Chapter 13

Odette

Another cramp hits mehard as I slap my comm down on the bathroom counter. They weren’t fucking joking about this period ender. My head is a bit heavy, the big caveat to this capsule was that it makes you feel a bit drunk.

“Motherfucker,” I grunt and press hard on my lower stomach just as another piece of something falls into the toilet.

My stomach heaves. This last cramp wasn’t nearly as bad and Ma’xon has been updating me through the door every fifteen minutes. I’ve only got another ten or so before I’m done. My legs might be numb from sitting on the toilet for so long, but my fingers worked fine to shoot off a text to Pri’za.

Me: Booji tep

Pri’za: Is this one of those drunk human messages lol

Me: No

Me: maybbbb

Me: do the thing

Pri’za: so bossy >:)

I take a deep breath through my nose and then breathe out my mouth. Another cramp rolls through my uterus, but the pain doesn’t radiate or stay long. Nor does anything come out of my body. Praise be. This shit better be like waxing, the more I do it the easier it gets.

I wake up clutching the sad pillow again, but when I peel my eyes open, Ma’xon is in bed still. This is the first time this has happened since I told Pri’za we are doing the surprise retirement party. We had to wait another week to get the right provisions from the Solarium Union for Ma’xon to travel back to Earth, but we have it finally.

This is my chance. Now, I just have to ask Ma’xon to get Marbles. Well, assuming the house is untouched, but even a new teddy bear would be vastly better than my current blob.

Which he’s glaring at. Perfect.

I shimmy myself across the waterbed until we are almost touching noses. His eyes move back to me and I feel that cosy flutter. The one that fills me with giddiness and hope. Nothing could ever make me regret agreeing to be his. Being abducted is the best dang thing to ever happen to me.

He takes the pillow from my arms and tosses it over his shoulder. He then takes the arm I’m not laying on and drapes it around his neck while he wraps himself around me. Inadvertently, this does shove my other hand right into his gills. His cocks poke at my shins.

“Mornin’.” I smile, scratching my fingers around the base of his fin.

“Gimme a reason to stay in bed,” he grumbles.

“I mean..” My fingers between his gills wiggle enough to make him jolt. One of his cocks slips between my legs and I tense my calves to tease him more. “It seems like there is plenty a reason to stay with your mate.”
