Story: Lost Companion

Ranna listened to thedistinctive sounds and blushed. The five males looked at her with curiosity. Vogar asked, “Is that what I think it is?”

“She’s been very demanding since her pregnancy, and Overseer Rath is always welcome to oblige.”

A particularly loud shriek, followed by soft masculine laughter, tore through the air.

Vogar covered his mouth with his hand. “He sounds devoted to duty.”

Ranna nodded. “Oh, he is. She is, too. She designed the program to carry the channels that are holding your projections.”

The guys all looked at each other, and Mywel asked, “Is she willing to share it?”

“She might be. I will ask her later.” Ranna winced at the giddy warble that came through the walls. “Much later.”

They all laughed.

Vogar asked, “Do you live with your father?”

“No, I live on a nearby estate a few hours away.”

Mywel nodded. “Good. That much sex has bound to be distracting.”

“They are so adorable together. It is good to see them so happy, and soon, I will have a sibling, and then I will have someone to coo over and play with.” Ranna chuckled. “And the way Riley goes into receptivity so quickly, this won’t be the last. I anticipate the day I signed the first contract with Riley to be a planet-wide holiday in no time.”

Riley made life interesting, and Rath had made sure that she would be around for a very long time.
