Suddenly, the bruise that disappeared after having sex made sense.
Most of the species in the prison had the ability to heal quickly.
After spending the night with Egara, I had benefited from his ability too.
“How long will this last?” I said, still barely able to keep my surprise hidden.
“Kissing will last for minutes,” he said, “but it depends how much we kiss. Vulcarians mate a little differently to most other species. We share our strengths, weaknesses, and once we mate, it’s for life.”
My breath caught in my throat.
“You’re saying we’re mated for life now?”
Egara shook his head and had a small smile on his face.
“No. Fated mates do not become a pair until they are both in love.”
“How do you know we aren’t fated mates already?”
“You would know. Trust me. So would I.”
I smiled and thought back to our experience the previous night.
If that wasn’t how fated mates mated, then how did I explain that explosion of golden light in my chest?
I had never felt anything like it before.
Maybe for him it was normal, but for me, a regular female, it was anything but normal.
“Are you still hungry?” Egara said.
“Hm?” I said, lost in a world of my own. “Oh. Um… Not really.”
My stomach growled.
“Your stomach appears to be making the counter-argument,” Egara said.
I rapped my stomach gently and shook my head.
“He’s always had a mind of his own,” I said. “I tell him I’m not hungry and he insists on eating any nearby chocolate.”
“I’m the same when it comes to Vulcarian rice cake. I just can’t stop eating it.”
He got to his feet and dusted off his hands.
I peered at the desert around us.
Good luck finding any food in this place, I thought.
Egara stood up straight and his ears fluttered.
They turned from one side to the other, his left ear turning sharply one way, his right the other.
Gradually, his left ear drew around to point in the same direction as his right.
At me.
Egara approached me with that same intense look in his eyes that I recognized from making love.
