Nalu kissed her shoulder. “Stay in bed. Please.”

She thought about it, shrugged, and burrowed against her ex-boyfriend, who was now her current mate.

Nalu chuckled. “You know he can hear that, right?”

“Hmm?”

“We can hear your thoughts. He didn’t tell you?” Nalu chuckled

“No. He didn’t.” Make that ex-mate.

She was grabbed and squeezed tight. Keahi murmured, “I just wanted to make sure that you wanted us for us, and if there were a weird fangirl thing going on, we would accommodate. Imagine my surprise when I saw walls of text when you looked at us with all the sexy words scribbled out, even in your thoughts. You are weird, Eliana, but you are ours. And we aren’t going to censor our thoughts anymore.”

Elly was blushing then frowning and then gasping as she spent the rest of the morning wrapped in dragons.

Mano walked with her through the village and got her some flowers. “In answer to your question, I am good with it. I haven’t ever thought I would find a mate, let alone one who knew who I am at the base of me.”

Elly was holding onto his arm and smiled. “Sharks don’t scare me.”

“I mean, you actually seeing me and brightening when you look at me. That means more to me than you can imagine. I expect to see it for the dragons but never expected it for a lowly shark.”

“Dude, you are huge. I love it when you frighten the smaller sharks.” She chuckled.

“Well, Mort is back in the area. He’s bigger and easier to ride.”

“You are no slouch, Mano. You are just the right size to park my thighs around. With a lovely swish when your tail puts on the power.”

“Talk dirty to me,” Mano murmured close to her.

She giggled and held the flowers close. “Rough grey skin, pale belly, and those eyes... oh, those eyes.”

He swung her in his arms, and she laughed as he ran into the jungle to find some privacy. It was just kissing, but he settled on the grass and flipped her skirt out of the way. The kissing took on a different tone, and she kept her hand over her mouth to stop her from scaring the birds. Then she screamed into her palm, and he let her wind down before he started again.

They emerged from the jungle half an hour later, and there was a bit of applause from the local vendors who were near where they exited, and her face turned crimson and stayed that way until they were home.

“Where are the guys?”

“Getting a surprise from the city.”

“Oh. Okay.”

She put the flowers in water and puttered around the kitchen that had been assembled until she had a glass of iced tea. She got her laptop, heading out to her office. It was just there this morning, and she took it to be hers.

She turned on her laptop and got to work. She tapped at her keys until she felt a warmth behind her. “Hey, Keahi. Finish your errand?”

“Turn around, and you tell me?”

She finished her sentence, saved it, and closed her laptop. She rotated and blinked. “Oh. People.” She stood up and rubbed her eyes.

“Eliana, what the hell are you wearing?” Her sister’s strident shriek cut through her skull.

“Oh, Gwen. What a lovely singing voice you must have.” She grimaced and walked into the shadows. There were a lot of people.

Keahi chuckled. “We thought it would be best to get everyone here.”

She nodded and walked to her mom, hugging her.

“Gwen, I am wearing what half the people in the royal village are wearing. You are going to sweat into a puddle if you keep those clothes on.”
