Story: Lost Companion
He leaned forward and flicked his stinger at her shoulder, and the fire in her nerves caught as she came. Her body tried to hold his, but he continued to move, and she gasped and twisted as pleasure moved over her, through her, and along every inch of her.
She rode the waves until he finally shuddered and spilled into her. She felt soft kisses on her eyes, cheeks, and lips. He whispered, “Can you take it in?”
She whispered, “Move back one ring.”
He carefully backed up, the pressure built, and when the mild snapping of her tissue happened. She went off on a wave of pulsing and clasping.
He let out an encouraging croon, and she felt more heat fill her, which caused the fluttering again.
She felt him wrapping her in his arms, a wing eased under her, and then he rolled to his back with him still inside her. The other wing wrapped around her, and she was in a Rath-scented burrito.
He murmured against her ear, “If you need me, just press your hand flat against my chest, no matter the situation.”
She nodded. She was waiting for her body to stop pulsing, but she nodded off.
Riley stood next to Rath as they left the shuttle with the dozen ladies for Hebor. Sam and Pixie were in the mix. Sam kept staring at Riley, so Riley flipped her off. Sam giggled.
Rath walked toward the Hmrain who was landing, and she came with him, backed by his wing. Heboren’s consort was with him and looked fairly pregnant.
Rath and Heboren did that weird forearm clasp that muscly dudes seemed to do. Heboren smiled. “Congratulations on finding your consort.”
“Congratulations on your consort and impending child.”
Heboren smiled. “It will be our second.”
His consort snorted. “Missing the important part. Hello, miss, I am Nova.”
Riley smiled and extended her hand. “I am Riley, Consort of Rath, inhabitant of Arro.”
Nova blinked. “Not a citizen?”
“Nope. I went from my first platonic companion bond to this.” She pointed at Rath.
“A bit of a jump.”
“Not really. My platonic bond was with his daughter. I was her emotional support human.”
Rath snorted.
Heboren blinked. “You have children?”
“A daughter from a consort three centuries ago. Riley is something else.”
Nova asked, “Will your daughter be upset?”
Riley snorted.
Rath grinned. “I have seen my daughter more in the last five years than in the previous hundred. She was parading Riley in front of me at every opportunity.” He shrugged. “My daughter has a smug streak and knew what she was looking at when she saw Riley.”
Riley smirked. “According to Lady Ranna, she was looking at a huge pain in the ass.”
Nova giggled. “So, you have found some more Terrans?”
“And other species who are compatible with the races here. Sam and Pixie are the Terrans.”
Nova smiled. “Will you introduce me?”
“Sure. As long as Heboren is holding to letting them choose out of a limited pool.”
