He chuckled.“I usually wear less.This is just for company.”

“Oh.Great.That will haunt my dreams.Wait.How did you get into my dreams?”

He huffed in amusement.“We are bound, you and I.We always have been.”

She looked up at him.“Fuck, you are tall.”

He grinned.“You just noticed?”

“It didn’t matter when you were teaching me or when I was on a mission.It matters when I am not dressed.”

“Your lack of armoured clothing is very much on my mind.”His fingers strummed the tie of her bikini top.

“Don’t you dare.”

“What?Your skin is so golden smooth that this shouldn’t interfere.”The tie came apart under his fingers, and she felt her breasts shift.

She squawked in panic and pressed her arms down at her sides to hold the rest of the top in place.

He chuckled and stroked her back.She shivered and hid herself against him.His hands covered most of her back, and he shuddered.

“I had no idea you would fit my hands like this.”

“Power bias,” she murmured.

“What?”

“You saw me through my activation, which is powerful, ergo I must be taller.”

“You aren’t an omega?”

“Nope.That is why the Sethir dumped me.If I were an omega, I would be in activation restrictors with a few babies and a snarling alpha visiting when I went into heat.”

“My half-brother and his adviser are both alphas.Their queen is an omega.A heavy-hitter and sculptor, but a heavy-hitter nonetheless.”

“I heard that on the news.She’s Uraddan.”

“You are correct.”His fingertips were under her hair.“Purple hair?”

“Yeah.It’s one of the reasons my parents couldn’t pretend I was human.I couldn’t be like my elder sister, who went to school.”

“What was her name?”

“Bira.Bira Du-melo.”

“Have you ever heard from her?”

“No.She probably has a family somewhere.She had a caretaking adaptation.”

“How could you tell?”

“She also had purple hair, but no one could find her activation, so she was able to get a scholarship to university.”

“How much older than you is she?”

“Two years.She went to university and never came home.”She trailed off.“Oh.She had to leave, too.”

“That was what my research indicated.Did you have any caretakers that you felt close to?”
