.Kallon’s cheeks turned a lovely shade of pink and Ulixes’s eyes were steadily studying the ground.How interesting.“Anytime, Trejani.She’s a lovely female.Cato is very fortunate.”At Drusus’s nod, Ulixes appeared to recover his usually calm demeanor.“I received your message shortly before Cato called for assistance.I saw no need to take the plane when he was already heading this way.I look forward to meeting with your father and the Senate as well.”Drusus smiled and passed a quick glance between the two men.“You know, Ulixes.You and our physician have much in common.”Ulixes’s warm, brown eyes flipped up and his face paled.“How so?”Cato squashed a grin as Drusus casually opened the copilot door and winked.“Chess.You both like chess.Kallon is not only our Master Surgeon, but also a master chess player.You two should catch a game when you have the chance.”Ulixes’s color returned and he slid a sidewise glance to Kallon, who was now studying the toe of his boots and twirling the end of his braid.“Indeed.I would like that very much.That is if he is so inclined.”Kallon straightened and cleared his throat.“Of course.Anytime.Just let me know.”Ulixes closed his eyes for a brief moment, smiled, and slid the door panel aside.“After you, doctor.”Maxim clambered into the pilot’s seat and buckled up.“Get settled everyone.I want to get this baby to the other site and covered before we get spotted again.”Four minutes later, they were in the air and on the way to the second vortex site.Drusus swiveled in his seat and looked down at Luna strapped on the gurney.“If you don’t mind me asking, Cato.What happened here?”Cato reached down, stroked Luna’s hand, and said in a rough voice, “She was attacked while on a pay phone.I believe her ex-boyfriend did it, or had it done.As soon as I’m positive, he’s toast.I’ll be truthful with you, Trejani.I tested her compatibility so I could bring her home for treatment without facing Senate interrogation.Hell, I would’ve fought my way past them even if she hadn’t heated my necklace.She’s never met me and may very well want nothing to do with me when she finally wakes.She’ll remain in stasis after she’s treated.Unless I can convince her to be mine, she’ll never know of our world.”Cato had always liked the Trejani’s style of approach.He wasn’t a bullshitter and when he looked you in the eyes, you saw nothing other than the hard truth of things.That’s what he needed right now.As he stared into the unwavering emerald eyes of his prince, he knew that was exactly what he was about to get.“I would’ve helped you.Kick their ass, that is.The idiot ex or the Senate bullshit.Doesn’t matter.Nothing should hinder the needs of a mate, even our own gods damn rules.If she wakes and gets a peek at our world, we’ll deal with it.Lay aside that concern and focus it toward getting her well.Let me worry about the Senate.”He couldn’t have loved his leader more in that moment than he could in a lifetime.Blinking rapidly, he glanced around and caught the subtle nods of every male on board.Even Ulixes, an exiled male without a drop of Insedi blood running through his veins, bobbed his head in camaraderie.They had his back, no questions asked.They all were truly brothers, if not by blood, then forged in commitment to the survival of their race.Cato cleared his throat.“Thank you, my brothers.” And as with any group of males finding themselves blanketed in emotions usually reserved for their female counterparts, a diversion was quickly found at the bark of Drusus’s laugh.“Hell! What am I saying? All I have to do is send Avelina and Cassie to plead your case and they’d be putty in their hands.Ever since both were claimed by a Lemarok, they’ve been spoiled rotten.”Cato laughed, partly from relief, but mostly from shock.“You’re kidding! There’s not been a claiming in over fifty years.Now there’s been two?”Drusus nodded.“Oh, yes.It was immediate.They’d not had their feet upon the ground for more than ten minutes and they were owned.I’ll let Severus tell you of Cassie’s reaction.If I try, I’ll laugh myself senseless.”Cato chuckled.“I bet that was a sight.Cassie isn’t known for holding back her thoughts.”Drusus shook his head.“You’ve no idea.We’ve been home less than a week and she’s wielding my Avelina’s power as princess like a sword.The Senate has actually agreed to allow import of certain Earth foods.She’s convinced them that bringing Earth to the females will keep them from dragging their males away from the homeland for extended periods.Alcinder’s mate, Deanna, worked as a restaurant manager in Dallas.Cassie convinced her to oversee the construction, stocking, and management of an eatery that would combine the best of both worlds.Brace yourself.She and Avelina were drawing up designs for a mall when I was called away.Her words to the Senate were, and I quote, ‘Look it.Magenta grass and three moons are cool and all, but it’s not long before you start missing Victoria’s Secret.’ Severus had to sit down after that.”Cato burst out laughing and looked down to Luna.He bent low and whispered, “I have two ladies that are going to adore you, my sweet Luna.You’ll have friends for life.”Chapter 13“Geez!” Cassie exclaimed.“We leave you for a few days and you turn up with a gorgeous brunette passed out in your arms.Want to clue us in here?”Cato stared at the congregation that met him as soon as he stepped from the vortex.Cassie wore her trademarked, lopsided grin and threw him a wink.Lina’s smile stretched her cheeks as she stared adoringly at Luna, and Severus had a “what the fuck” look riding his puss.He guessed it would look a little strange from their point of view.When three sets of brows rose in expectation, he decided the truth probably wouldn’t hurt.“Her name’s Luna and she’s my Occasio.Her ex-boyfriend had her beaten for leaving him and I brought Kallon back with me to heal her brain trauma.She looked worse than this not more than five hours ago.That about covers it.”He had two females on him before he could blink.They immediately began fussing over Luna.Cassie’s husky voice came out contrite and hushed [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
