"But?" Korrev nibbled on her ear. "I can feel a "but" coming."

Karin let out a small laugh. "I don't want to say it. Otherwise, you are going to get an even bigger head than the one you already have."

"Say it."

"I miss home," she finally blurted out. Karin looked like she couldn't believe she had said it.

A proud smile appeared on Korrev's face even though he tried to hide it.

Karin gave him a whack on the shoulder. "Don't be smug. It's not attractive."

"I'm not being smug. It just pleases me you think of Krotev as home after despising it for so long."

"I didn't despise Krotev, I despised you, for pulling me around on a leash," she answered back snarkily. "But I do miss it, and Alice, of course. Our bed is much more comfortable there. Krotev is so much more peaceful than Earth. I never knew how peaceful until I returned to Earth."

"Do you want to go back?" he asked hopefully. They still had a week left in their travel plans. She had gotten it into her head she wanted to go visit Italy.

Karin smirked. "Nice try. You promised me Italy, and we are going to Italy." She squeezed his hand. "We are going to have the rest of our lives in Krotev. Let's enjoy this moment together, just the two of us."

"Karin, you have to let me go." Korrev tried to unhook Karin's arms which were wrapped around him. Karin's bare breasts were rubbing against his torso and his cock was hard. But he didn't have time for morning sex.

He was behind on meetings because of the time he had spent in Europe. Korrev could not spend more time in bed with his queen, no matter how much he wanted to.

Karin pouted but eventually let him go. "Will you be back for lunch?"

"No." Korrev kissed her forehead as he put on his clothes. "But I will be back for dinner. Make sure you take your nap."

"I will." Karin sulked. "Can I visit Alice and the baby?"

Korrev hesitated.

Karin rolled her eyes. "They live in the palace." She pointed to her choker. "Not to mention, you have this to keep me in line."

"Fine. You can go after you take your nap and before dinner. I don't want to have to chase you down, Karin."

Karin rolled her eyes. Korrev gave her a playful slap on the bottom, causing her to giggle.

After eating lunch and taking a very short nap, Karin made her way to Alice's quarters. Kyvan was not there, so Aliceanswered the door. Unlike Karin, she was half dressed with the exception of her breasts.

Alice complained she was always constantly leaking or the baby was always hungry. There was no point, she said, in covering up.

Kovin was happily sucking on her breast while poor Alice looked on the verge of exhaustion.

"Are you sure this is what you want?" she asked teasingly as Karin prepared drinks and snacks.

"More than anything." Karin squeezed Kovin's little foot. "Though, hopefully, my babies are only half the size of yours."

Alice let out a small laugh. "I doubt it. Krotev men are large, so it means large babies, unfortunately. Azis has the best medication, though. You won't even feel a thing. Believe me, the pain comes afterwards when the baby is hungry every five seconds and both your son and your mate want your attention at the same time." Alice let out a small laugh. "I was surprised when I found out my son and Kyvan could argue with each other, even though one of them can't talk."

Karin smiled, but she couldn't ignore the pang of sadness she felt in her chest. When she had been in Europe, becoming pregnant had been the furthest thing from her mind, but now she was in Krotev, and it was the only thing she could think about.

Alice sensed she must have said something insensitive because she quickly changed the topic. "How was Europe? Don't leave one thing out. I want to hear all about Korrev riding public transportation and dealing with tourists."

Karin laughed as she told her about the places they visited, the food, and Korrev's lousy mood. She had brought a few gifts back for them. For Kyvan, she had brought a case of French cigarettes, for Alice, some lovely hair accessories, and for Kovin,many little toys he could play with since he was too big to fit into normal baby-sized clothing.

"Thank you, Karin, you have been very generous," Alice replied warmly. "Not to mention, you have managed to distract me from breastfeeding which I greatly appreciate."
