Andi produced the stiff parchment covered in golden script and showed it to him. The servant studied it for a moment and then nodded.

“Yes, everything is in order. Come in and I’ll announce you.”

The four of them entered the ice-cream scoop mansion, which looked even bigger on the inside. The walls were all rounded, Thrax noticed with interest. Everything was all curves and no corners.

The entryway led into an extremely large living area scattered with furniture which seemed to be made for lounging. In fact, he noticed many of the males sitting around with their “Queens” sitting on top of them, almost like they were part of the furniture themselves.

In the center of the room was a kind of small stage—only big enough for two or three people—with three steps leading up to it. The male servant went to stand beside it and Thrax heard Shanna whisper to Andi,

“All right now—just watch how Rux and I do it.”

Then the servant cleared his throat and announced,

“Queen Shannabatch Keenasdaughter and her male-wife, Rux!”

As he spoke, both Shanna and her male climbed onto the stage. As all eyes turned in their direction, Rux knelt before his mate. From his pocket he produced the same kind of jewelry that Kat had given them.

Reaching up, he unbuttoned Shanna’s top and spread it wide, bearing her breasts. Thrax watched with interest—he liked breasts as much as the next male. He expected to see Rux put the tiny golden cuffs with their long, dangling golden threads on his mate’s tight nipples.

And that did seem to be what Rux intended to do. First, however, he leaned forward and captured one of Shanna’s nipples in his mouth. He sucked long and hard while she moaned softly and ran her hands through his thick, curly hair. It wasn’t until he released her tight peak that he put the golden cuff on it.

He repeated the process with the other breast and Thrax felt helpless not to watch. But he couldn’t help also shooting a glance at Andi. What did she think of all this? She’d been fine with him handling her breasts, but what would she think if he had to suck her nipples too?

Just the thought of taking those ripe peaks between his lips made Thrax hard. He’d fantasized such scenarios about his partner before—though he felt guilty doing it. But Andi was just so fucking gorgeous it was hard not to think of her that way sometimes and as long as he kept things professional when they were together, what was the harm?

The harm is you falling for your partner and making a fool of yourself, he told himself harshly. How many times has she said that she’s through with males completely? And who could blame her after the way that asshole of an ex-mate treated her!

His thoughts were drawn back to the present as he realized that Rux had finished putting the second golden cuff on his Queen’s other nipple and now he was buttoning her blouse back up. As the two of them descended the stage, Shanna whispered to Andi,

“See? Nothing to it.”

Thrax realized it was their turn to do the bizarre little ritual and he still didn’t know how his partner felt about it. Ducking his head, he met her eyes and raised his eyebrows.

Andi nodded—a short, sharp jerk of her head. She didn’t look particularly comfortable, but she wasn’t “freaked out” either—as the humans said. Thrax had been working with her long enough to know what the nod meant—“Do what you have to.”

He nodded back and the two of them climbed the platform.

Andi stood in the middle and Thrax dropped to his knees before her. Even with him kneeling, they were still almost eye-to-eye.

His cock felt heavy and hard between his thighs as he unbuttoned her blouse and spread it wide to bare her full, luscious breasts. Her areolas were wide, dark bands and her nipples were already tight—their rosy tips pointing straight at him thanks to the float dots Kat had given her to wear. They looked incredibly sensitive.

Thrax sucked in a breath as his eyes roved hungrily over his partner’s body. Gods, he’d dreamed of this so often! Now that it was really happening, he didn’t just want to play a part—he truly wanted to give her pleasure.

“My Queen,” he murmured, meeting Andi’s eyes. “Allow me to pleasure you.”

“Oh, uh…” Andi seemed flustered by his words—her cheeks turned bright pink, a sure sign of embarrassment. “Of course, Thrax,” she answered at last. “You, er, have my permission to do that. To, uh, pleasure me.”

“Thank you, my Queen.” Leaning forward, Thrax swirled the tip of his tongue around one tight peak for a moment before sucking it.

He sucked lightly at first…and then he heard Andi give a breathless moan and his instincts kicked in, making him draw as much of her breast as he could into his mouth. He was sucking much harder now and Andi seemed to be enjoying it—at least, if the way she was running her hands over his horns was any indication.

Thrax loved to feel her pulling on his horns as he sucked—he loved it when a woman guided him and showed him exactly what she wanted and where she needed him…

“That’s right, my beautiful boy,” purred a soft voice in his head. “Let Mistress guide you…just follow my lead and I’ll show you exactly how to make me feel good…”

Thrax pushed the memory away and finally made himself release Andi’s right nipple. When he withdrew his mouth, he saw that it was much darker than it had been and the tip looked achingly sensitive.

“Oh…what…?” Andi looked confused for a moment—her flushed cheeks and dilated pupils told Thrax that she’d been enjoying herself almost as much as he had.
