We stepped out into the hall where Terrek stood with a small group of crew members.
“Oh, good, you’re up. I was waiting for you. I did not want to disturb you ladies and your resting time.” He leaned down to kiss me.
“Do you feel well, my Flame?” Terrek asked, looking her over to be sure.
“Yes, I feel great.” Flame said as she smiled up at him. Terrek leaned in to kiss her sweetly, too.
“Good, just the way I like it. My girls are happy and healthy.” Terrek turned to the crew.
“Okay, let’s get this job done.” He said as they carried tools and materials into our room.
“What are you up to?” I asked curiously.
“I am extending our bed. We need to make room so Flame will feel welcomed.”
“Is that not the sweetest damn thing?” I said as I looked at Flame, who looked like she was holding back tears that brimmed her eyes.
“Oh, Hun, we want you in our bed. You are our mate. It is now your bed, too.” I said as I pulled her in for a Texas-sized hug.
Terrek pulled us both into a big hug. “You are ours forever. I go wherever you two go.”
He kissed our heads, patted our butts, and then turned to help the crew build a big enough bed for us.
“I don’t know why that choked me up. I am just so happy.” Flame said as she composed herself, and we went back to duty.
“I think we all deserve our happiness. I am glad I have you, too, Flame.” I said as we held hands as we went to the command deck.
The defense grid was almost entirely built. The Frio engineers were spacewalkers working like busy ants efficiently with a determined purpose.
Watching them on the viewing display was fascinating. They were in outer space as if they were on a planet. Free of the protections that we would need. Flame sent a drone with blue ice crystals to deliver to Glacier. He sent a video message in return.
“My favorite Fire, I could never repay you for this gift.” The droning voice said, and his almost featureless face still conveyed deep gratitude.
“No need to ever repay me, my friend. I owe you more than those blue ice crystals could ever amount to.”
“I would burn in a scorching fire for you, my dear friend Flame,” Glacier said with a salute.
I knew that must have been a huge compliment from a Frio being. I reached out for Flame’s hand and squeezed hers. I know how he feels. I would die for her, for Terrek, without hesitation.
“That male truly respects you,” I said as a censor alarm blared.
The AI announcement called out. “Unknown lifeform is being tracked on Laverian.”
“Mark the location and get a jump ship ready.” Flame demanded as a commotion erupted among the crew.
“Where did it come from? Do you think it is a Kanenites spy?” I asked, my heart was pounding.
I rushed after Flame as we made our way to the jump pods. Terrek ran up to us just as the door opened.
“I am not sure, but it does not matter. I will find out.” Flame said all business.
“I go wherever you two go!” Terrek said as he handed each of us the galaxtic empires modified device wands.
We quickly boarded the jump ship. We were suctioned to our seats like a magnet. As the pod jumped away from Stealth Davis, we flew to the location of the lifeform that appeared out of nowhere on our radar.
“This doesn’t make sense. No craft has entered the planet’s atmosphere or been in the range of our censors.” Flame looked concerned.
“They have only plant life and microbial and the prill fish left on Laverian. There should be no lifeform on the surface.” Flame tried to figure out how a lifeform was on the surface, and she did not look happy about not knowing. Her forehead crinkled with stress lines, and her face reddened. She hit scanning buttons with hard jabs.
