“Where is the nearest centre that could do that particular round of tests?”

“Other side of the island in the city.”

“Wait. There is a city? Why the hell are we here?”

“Royal village. This is where Syar likes to live, so this is the most exclusive place on the island.”

“Oh, that explains the lack of tourists.”

“Yes, the city is much more frenzied. Here, we get to live quietly.” Reynaldo stroked her hair. “He has to approve stacks of documents every day, and I watch over him.”

“Right. So, what is my role here? I have had my vacation.”

He chuckled. “I am flattered that you considered it such. You handled me easily.”

She blushed. “Well, you were purring most of the time.”

Reynaldo wrapped his arms around her. “With such a pretty kitten in my arms, the purring came naturally.”

She hid her face against his chest. “Stop calling me a kitten.”

He squeezed her. “You are a precious and necessary part of me, just as Syar is.”

“I don’t know how to fit.”

“Just keep doing what you are doing. We want you as you are, and Syar and I are better now with you here.”

“What do you mean, better?”

“Syar sleeps through the night. He’s more confident and is working through some of his own issues because he sees them in you, and you are handling them using tools you have learned. He’s watching you and using those tools. Some of them are transferred through your link.”

She blinked and kept her head down. “I am glad I am upholding my contract obligations.”

“It goes beyond the contract and the comfort he gets from your presence. He isbetterwith you around. He wants to be better. So do I.”

She snuffled. “You are going to make me cry.”

He ran his hand up and down her back. “How are you feeling?”

She lifted her head in surprise. “Huh?”

“Are you sore, chafed?”

“Um, my ribs and tummy are a little delicate. I think what you did qualifies as cannibalism.”

He sighed. “That wasn’t me. That was him. Can I check?”

She nodded, and he stroked his fingers across the newly smooth skin.

He nudged her chin up. “Are you pissed at him for this?”

“No. It’s fine. I was just surprised to be pinned down until he got to the base layers.” She sighed. “At least he saved it for last.”

She chuckled. “I got some of you in me, and you have some of me in you.”

He smiled. “I will keep up my end of things; just let me know.”

Ven frowned. “What?”
