"Are you ready," Modok says as he looks down at me and I nod. I clutch the fancy basket of fruit a little tighter and Modok presses a button beside the front door. But when the door slides open there isn't anyone to greet us. The entryway is empty. "That's weird. They should be expecting us," Modok says as he steps in front of me. He steps inside the home and listens for a second before turning to look at me. "Stay behind me. I do not believe there is danger, but just in case," Modok says, and I nod. I follow him inside and he leads me down a spacious hallway. When we reach a large open room, he sighs, and I look past him to find three Gaimo people watching a projection screen. "Eida, Mother, Father. What is going on? I have brought my mate to meet you," Modok says loudly and the older of the two women whips around. "Oh my goodness, Mo, we missed the door alert... (she looks back at the screen) The harvest selection has been completed, but there is a problem. Zor of Mak

"Send two. It will give us a few extra seconds," I say as Burk begins to set the coordinates. He nods to show he heard me and Nole continues to pace back and forth behind us. Sending the scanners ahead of us is a good idea. It eliminates the threat of ambush and gives us a read on our enemy and Krystal's whereabouts. Plus we can cloak our transport. They will only see the scanners on their machines. "Garlof should be ready," Burk growls under his breath and I am reminded how screwed up this day has become. We should each be happy and showing our mates a good first day on our planets, but instead, we are here dealing with this. Leaving Xiu behind with my parents was hard. I wanted to spend our first day together bonding, but I couldn't abandon Burk. He deserves my loyalty and help. I know if the situation was reversed he would be aiding me. Besides Krystal is also important to Xiu and Nole's mate. "They have been sent. Let's go. While we are on the planet, they will give u

3 MONTHS LATERI shyly glance at Modok and then smile. I feel so giddy and happy all the time. Every day is better than the day before. My mate is kind, but strong. He is someone I can depend on no matter what. I feel proud to call him mine. "I can feel your eyes, Xiu. Do you need attention," Modok asks as he sets down his cup of juice. Lust instantly ignites between my legs. Modok's form of attention is nothing short of spectacular. His mouth and fingers have made me see stars every night for the past month. "I...," I manage to whisper before my voice trails off. He immediately closes the distance between us and lifts my chin with a single finger. His reptile-like eyes that shocked Zuri stare into my soul, and feelings that are still foreign to me spring to life. "Tell me Xiu. Do you need my attention," Modok asks again with a much deeper voice and my legs actually tremble with excitement. His green eyes flash with excitement as he sees my reaction and he swings me u

"Burk didn't join me. I am not sure he completely agrees with what I am about to say," Krystal says and I eye her. She is up to something. I can tell. She has her usual plotting face... But why involve me? Jia is normally her partner in crime, not me. "Spill it, Krystal," I say as I place my teacup down. I have zero patience for her long, drawn-out tactics. I want to be back in bed with Modok. I want to have my legs wrapped around him. His hips... his head it doesn't matter which. The only reason I left our bed at all was because I had promised to meet with Krystal today to discuss something important to her. "Fine. I appealed to the council... or rather I suggested they employ you as their person to speak with Earth," Krystal says and my eyes go round. I open my mouth to ask why she would do such a ridiculous thing and she holds up her hand. "Before you go all "Xiu" on me just listen. You have one of the sharpest minds on planet Earth. Your education and business etiquet
