“She was taking the kids to the park. Why?”

Rho was beyond pissed.“Detja said Jand has offered to mate with Tess.”

The matchmaker struck again.“Why should it matter to you? You don’t want a mate.”

“He touches her, and I will kill him.” Poof!Rho vanished.

I linked with my aunt.“Rho’s heading your way. He thinks Jand is the love of your life.”

“What! Who told him that?”

“Detja.”

“Thanks for the heads-up.”

“Give him hell.”I spotted Jand and waved at him.“Yo! Can you give me a lift to the cavern?”

He carefully surveyed the hallway.“Is Tihar here?”

“No.”

“I would be honored.”He wrapped an arm around my waist, and a fleeting second later, I was in the cavern.

“If I were you, I’d stay away from my aunt and Rho. He’s a bit homicidal right now, and if he sees you, who knows what will happen.”

Jand frowned.“You think Rho would attack me?”

“I know he will. He’s got the weird idea that you want Aunt Tess.”

“She is a capable female, but I have found my mate.”

That stopped me dead.“Oh, that’s wonderful. Who is it?”

“Eve.”Jand teleported away.

Whoa! Eve? This could get interesting. I grabbed a basket and went to work. The cavern was eerily quiet. The only noise was thesnip, snipof my shears. The gray Son Doong mushrooms grew beneath the crystals jutting from the walls. My floating light balls threw a rainbow of color over the ceiling. I wiped the sweat out of my eyes and stretched my aching back. Four more hours of hell.

A faint whooshing noise caught my attention. I looked around and blinked in surprise. All the empty baskets were now full. How was that possible?

A black blur zoomed toward me. Joy filled me.“Tihar! You’re here!”

He scooped me up.“I could not stay away another minute. We need to start building our dynasty.”

I threw my arms around his neck.“We do. Did you find the planet killer?”

“We did. It has been disarmed and destroyed.”Tihar’s mouth fastened on mine. The sensual stroke of his tongue had my body vibrating with need.“The Son Doong have been harvested, and you are all mine.”

“Superspeed and talons do have their uses.”I wrapped a mental hand around his penis and squeezed.“Ready for another blowjob?”

Whoosh!We were in my room. Within seconds, Tihar’s armor had vanished and his claws made short work of my clothing.“Babe, that’s one hell of a boner.”

“I’ve been celibate for two years.”Tihar took my mouth in a toe-curling kiss.

My hands roamed over him, relearning the texture of his skin, the feel of his thickly muscled chest. It wasn’t a dream. He was real. I was going to use wild monkey sex to keep him close.“Ready for me to slurp the gherkin?”

“Slurp the gherkin?”Tihar’s expression of total confusion was adorable.

“That’s what my mom called a blowjob.”
