The glow of amazement on her face kept him grinning. He was going to be a father to her child. “The scent of pregnancy is remarkable, so yes, now I’ve had more time to sniff, I’m sure. You are a fecund and fertile bitch and from memory, my litters are usually around three, minimum.”
“Ohmigods. No. Three? Three? Three huleon babies.” She put fingers over her mouth.
“It’s likely. Don’t worry. They are born small.” He heaved her into a better position in his arms and began climbing a mild slope between two shattered spaceships. Another few minutes and they’d reach the palace perimeter.
The men who’d followed him in would be still following at a discreet distance, but with the bot flanking them they’d be safe. Besides, General Vass had been among the dead. The rebellion was broken.
For a while, he ran through the reports he’d been given on the way here.
“General Vass was among the dead at the ambush and the news I have says the other raid was a minor scuffle. If anything, this ambush was our victory. More would have died in the coming days, if this had not occurred. You did not cause people to die. It is not your fault. Okay?” She nodded. “I will see what other data arrives, but the rebellion is likely crushed. The palace guard will be examined, and the guilty will be charged, if necessary, with treason. We will bring peace to this kingdom, finally, real peace.”
“Good. So, you forgive me for lying to you. Not that I want to rehash this, but I need something. I don’t know why but I do.”
“I need something too. If you ever lose faith in me again, I will have to throw you into prison in chains. I will break this off no matter how the people perceive my actions.” Under his breath, he added, “And only visit you to fuck you. This time? We need something symbolic of my displeasure, that won’t risk you losing these babies. Hmmm.”
She nodded and her mouth downturned. “Thank you. It will let me be free of this. I am sorry. I want to say that a million times.”
“And that you are sorry, that you’ve already beaten yourself up severely, that is why I am happy to forgive.”
“It’s ridiculous how bad I feel, still. I’m not sure what to think of that.” Her focus shifted to his shirt buttons and she plucked at one, a little annoyed, he figured. “You morphed me into being this creature who needs your approval and I’m almost peeved.”
He laughed. “Now that really makes me need to see your ass before me, naked and red. This doctor had better have some suggestions about limits. I need to paddle you, spank you. I’d love to chain you up, hands above, and do that... then fuck you until you turn into a puddle. If only.” There was a wistfulness to his words, and he knew it.
“Mmmm. Please?”
He snorted.
The double-gated entrance leading into the palace grounds lay ahead. A guard had seen them and opened the first gate that led beneath the thick wall.
“First, you’ll clean up and dress. We need a speech to broadcast, saying you are well and unharmed. We need the doctor to check you. After that... hmmm.”
He hoped the hmmm gave her palpitations, if small ones.
“I’m going to have to put you down now.” He groaned and set her on her feet. “The babies are growing inside you already, my plump princess.” Then he patted her butt, squeezed it, sank the very tips of his claws into her.
The nearby guard chuckled then shut up.
Her O of consternation was perfect.
“Hey. My cloak went missing,” she whispered, gesturing at her very visible nipples. “Your coat?”
“Let me think on this.” He let his eyes narrow. The guard was about to die of an attack of something from the reddening of his face.
“Drake. Please? Pretty please? Sir?”
“The right words.” He shucked off his coat and wrapped it over her shoulders.
