Kyda looked at the expectant Ados. “Oh, so like... now?”
“Please. I will come with you and show you the dress.”
She got to her feet and nodded. “Okay. So, I need a shower because I have been working and crawling around in the yard.”
“That’s fine. Let’s get that underway.”
She headed up the stairs, and he followed her. She went to the wardrobe and opened it. “Which one?”
He smirked and reached past her to pull out a garment bag that, when opened, exposed a midnight and crimson dress.
“Huh. Are there shoes for that?”
He hooked a finger on the hanger and pulled out a small pouch with matching slippers. “The sooner you are showered and changed, the sooner we can return home.”
“Home?”
“Oh, sorry. The sooner we can go to the Sethir-Nin stronghold, the sooner you can be back here with Nandy.”
She put the dress on the bed and glanced at him. “The sooner you are out of here, the sooner I will hit the shower.”
He nodded and left, closing the door.
She slid a hand under the fabric of the dress and exhaled. It was opaque. Barely. The fabric looked similar to her blue-black hair. She snorted and headed for the shower. While under the spray, she bet the dress wasn’t designed for undergarments. Sethir were pervs of the highest order. They were also focused on mating to a fault. When she learned that the patron who wanted the sweet dates was a Sethir, she nearly cancelled her account.
She dried off and brushed her hair. Going to the stronghold was nerve-racking, but she was pretty sure that Ados would bring her back to Nandy’s place.
Kyda put on some underwear, got dressed, and looked at her reflection. She grimaced and removed her underwear then resettled the dress. Yeah, it wasn’t designed for underwear or, at least, not the style that Kyda had available.
She went back to the wardrobe and found something that might work in the panty department. She slid on the whisper of lace and scowled, staring at her crotch in the mirror. She swished the dress, and it moved over the lace on her skin. It was a bit of relief, but she had been taught to dress herself with dignity. Now she could at least hold her head high without worrying about getting a draft.
She lifted the edge of her dress and walked down the steps until she was in the kitchen.
Nandy looked at her and gasped. “Oh, Kyda. You look lovely. Stunning. Aluhara will be so pleased.”
She smiled. “I hope so. I rarely meet strangers who don’t want a latte.”
Nandy laughed, and Ados walked in.
“Whoa. Kyda. You look...”
He walked up to her and ran a hand over her hair and down her back.
“So, we are grabby because?” She looked up at him, and he grinned down at her.
“Because I want to be? Now, we had better get going.”
He took her by the hand and kissed it before he nodded to Nandy and headed outside. The scientist followed them and smiled when Ados pulled Kyda into his arms.
He murmured, “Ready?”
She nodded. “Ready.”
She wrapped her arms around him, and he did the same with her.
“Hold tight.”
She held him tight, and lightning crackled around them. She kept her eyes closed, and when she opened them, they were in a courtyard with dozens of alphas staring at them. She whispered, “Is my dress still on?”
