“I’m going back in,” I said. “Let’s do this thing.”
“You mean the marriage?” she said. “I’ll have to call the priest I have on standby. I didn’t have him ready to go because I thought you were going to turn this down. You told me you weren’t going through with it before you even came here.”
“I’ve changed my mind.” I tucked my phone back in my pocket. “I’m going to go talk to him, and if he is willing to work with my conditions, then we’re doing this.”
“Really?” Caley gasped. “I have a bunch of dresses in that closet.”
I looked at her.
“You went shopping for wedding dresses?” I asked.
She blushed.
“Yes,” she said. “I thought I should have options for people who didn’t come prepared. It's a special day, and not everyone is going to be coming here in the best of circumstances, so I thought I should make an effort to make it feel like a good thing, because this is a good thing.”
That was the kind loving woman I grew up with.
She might not be good at thinking she needed to warn her friend she was meeting a giant snake man, but she knew that at least at first, her clientele was going to include women who needed an escape of some sort, and that not everyone was going to come here because they believed in love.
That or they would be thirsty bitches looking for some fat monster peen.
Especially after my livestream.
I brushed those thoughts away.
“Let me talk to him first,” I said. “But if I yell spaghetti, you and your cat elf come in with claws out and weapons drawn, okay?”
“You got it,” she nodded. “The nope word is spaghetti. You won’t need it though. Our aliens are thoroughly vetted and we have them take a mandatory course on human consent communication. Just say ‘no’ or ‘stop’ and he will. Still, yell spaghetti and we will come in.”
I took a deep breath, thinking about the way the strong muscles of his tail had felt pressed against me. I felt my skin flush with heat.
“Ok, here goes deciding a major pivotal point in my life,” I said.
“You can just walk away,” Caley reminded me.
“Well, yeah, this is all about choices, my choice in this moment in particular,” I replied. “I want to make sure I know for certain what I’m getting or giving up before I decide.”
Caley nodded and didn’t say anything.
I walked out of the room and headed to negotiate my future.

AESON
The Norratar who was running this operation had just left before my small human bride walked back into the room. I held myself still, wanting to wrap myself around her and take her in my arms.
She was mine.
She had made her claim and I wanted her.
Even if I had fight dozens of her males to be with her.
She was strange looking, so small and bipedal. I wasn’t even sure we would fit together but I was more than willing to try. There had been several human Atisari matings already from the women who had been taken from this planet against their will and sold. When I had seen pictures, I’d always felt intrigued by the species. The moment this marriage agency was announced, I had rushed to apply.
It was a good thing the Norratar had taken over the planet. They were putting and end to the trade that abducted women coming from this planet. They had been regularly captured, packaged up in cryo pods, and sold around the galaxy as breeders. They had rounded up the traders who had been in the system when they had arrived.
Now, the only legitimate way to get a human bride from Earth was to go through their mating agency.
