Her mother stared at them and then laughed. “Right. It is sensible that this is what Elly would consider excellent partner potential. She has always been rather fanciful when planning her life and practical in the execution of it. Well, boys, I am delighted to meet you all. Welcome to the family.”
Elly drank fruit juice and kept an eye on her mother, but when she talked to each of the guys in turn, she ended up more and more pleased with things.
Keahi murmured, “Mano works for the oceanography centre, Nalu works with the deep-sea research vessels, and I am into volcanoes.”
“Really?”
“I am into deep, hot holes.” He chuckled wickedly.
She glared at him. “That’s going in a book and possibly on a t-shirt.”
He pressed his forehead to hers. “Oh, I am full of inspiration.”
She laughed. “Full of something. So, how long do you think it will be to my heat?”
He opened his lips and inhaled her scent. “We have a few months to settle in.”
“Oh, good. I hate rushing.” She chuckled. “I don’t have Ven’s temperament or ability to heal rapidly.”
He smiled. “Yes, you do, but I understand the sentiment. You want to make sure I am not going anywhere.”
“Well, I don’t want you to have to head out to any weird training.”
He chuckled. “All classes and occupations will be carried out here on the island. So, we need to move all your stuff here.”
“I don’t think I have any clothing that is appropriate in my apartment.” She chuckled. “I do want my books, my computers, that kind of thing.”
“Will your mom pack for you?”
“Maybe, but it will be easier if Luna does it.”
He nodded. “Will you ask her?”
“I will. One of the ladies is super fast. She also loves books, so I would get them all here in one piece.”
Keahi nodded. “Let me know when you make the call. I will ask Syar to make the arrangements to have them brought over in the hold of the plane.”
“Okay.”
She smiled as they watched the families mingling together, and Elly was happy when her mother continued to smile and move around the room with Nalu’s mother. The moms eventually got together and got into a deep discussion with a lot of glances toward her.
She muttered, “It is still two months away?”
He caught on and chuckled. “Yeah, but we can do trial runs with the beasts just to make sure you are comfortable with it. Why?”
“Because the moms look like they want things to start right frigging now.”
“They can want what they want, but if we have children, they will be here in time. Even the beasts know that, which is why they are showing restraint.”
“Is that what they are doing? I just thought I wasn’t their type, or I upset them on the night they marked me.”
He chuckled. “No, they held themselves back that night because Nalu and I threatened dire consequences if they did anything untoward.”
She turned in his arms. “Can I express my gratitude for you threatening yourself? I am sure you were harsh on the other half of you. Really put your foot down, cracked the whip.”
His eyes glittered. “Are you taunting me?”
“A little bit.” She swayed against him.
