“What are we going to do? To stop this from happening again? I mean, what if it’s us losing our mates next time?” Lorelai asks.

“That will never happen,” Slyth says, pulling her close. “But don’t worry, we have plans to stop this from happening again. We’re going to start working tomorrow. Tonight, we need to rest.”

“Let’s go to our room,” Selliss whispers to me.

“Good idea, I can fix you up,” I say. “Guys, we’re going to retreat to our quarters if that’s okay. Selliss has got some injuries that need fixing up.”

Almost on cue, all three women start looking their men up and down, searching for injuries on them. Lasta waves Krista off before crossing the room towards us.

He sticks his hand out to Selliss, and the two of them shake hands.

“All is forgiven,” Lasta says.

Selliss bows his head slightly, and I can tell this means a lot to him. He looks up at Zalith and Slyth, who both nod at him.

Finally, Selliss and I head to our room, something I wasn’t sure was ever going to happen again.

“I’m glad you’re okay,” I say as we walk in.

I immediately find the bandage kit in the bathroom, and Selliss strips off his shirt so I can help him. We spend the next ten minutes smearing a medicinal salve onto his cuts and sealing them with a bandage until I’m satisfied.

“Selliss?”

“Yeah?”

“I was thinking, while you were gone… and I wanted to tell you that I would be honored to have your babies,” I say, biting my lower lip.

“You… you would want that?” His jaw drops.

“Yes… and I want us to have a mating ceremony. If last night taught me anything, it’s that I need to hold onto you while I can. I don’t want to lose you. I love you so much, Selliss…”

He continues staring at me incredulously. I begin to feel worried that maybe he doesn’t want the same thing.

“I know it’s soon, but if you don’t want the same then –”

He puts a finger on my lips to stop me from talking.

“I want all of that… I just never thought anyone would ever feel this way about me. I never saw myself falling in love and having a partner. But I especially didn’t think anyone would ever want to be my mate or carry my eggs. But I want that so much with you, Maya. I want us to have a ceremony immediately.”

I breathe a sigh of relief.

“Oh thank gods… you scared me for a second there.”

He pulls me into his arms, and we stay wrapped around each other for what feels like hours.

I never want to let go.

SELLISS

It's taken longer than I'd hoped to fully heal, but with Maya's tender caresses, I am back to full strength. Nothing turned out as expected. Everything is so much better.

My redheaded beauty is at my side, and I am happy to have her. I stroke her back. The healer has released my eggs, and I'm eager to pump them into her womb. I want her to grow round with my children.

Nothing would give me greater joy.

Maya stands on her tiptoes to kiss me, before lowering herself down the length of my body to release my cocks from their confinement.
