With a whoosh, the room’s door opened, and Sona hustled in, heading straight to the medi-bed.
Lis held her hands up. “I didn’t do it.”
Sona snickered. “Of course you didn’t. The medi-bed has done its thing. Our patient is healed and should be awaking up.” With the touch of a few buttons, the tube cracked open and slid back into the slab, revealing Nox’s still form within.
“Nox,” she said, moving towards him.
Sona held up a hand. “Give me a second to check him over, and then he’s all yours.” It only took a few minutes for her to scan him with her diagnostic wand, read over the data, and proclaim him healed. “Nothing too strenuous, mind you,” she said, giving Lis a hard look.
Lis nodded. “Got it.”
“I mean it,” Sona said, her hands on her hips.
“Of course.”
Sona pinched the bridge of her nose and sighed. “What am I saying? New mates. Just… be careful, okay? He might be fixed, but he’s still recovering.” She paused by the open door, pointing at the control panel. “Press here to lock the door from the inside,” she said.
Wasting no time, she locked the door behind the doctor.
“Lis?” Nox said, his voice rough.
“Oh, thank god. You’re awake.” Lis handed him a glass of water and helped him sit up. “How are you feeling?” she asked, hopping up on the slab next to him.
“Not bad, considering.” He ran a careful hand over his head as he drank the water. “What happened after I got knocked out? I’m assuming we won, since we’re back at the clinic.”
“We did.” She took the empty pouch and set it on a bedside table, then tugged his hand into her lap, wrapping it in hers. “Trolls defeated and turned over to the matriarchs and, holy cats, those ladies are scary when they’re pissed.” She grinned, remembering the way the troll boys cowered before the matriarchs. “We rescued twenty-two people.”
He sat a little taller. “More than I expected. That’s good.”
“Yeah, really good. I wish you could’ve seen the relief on their faces when we let them out of those metal boxes. It was amazing.” She gave him a grin and bumped his shoulder. “Oh, and I got my stuff back. Navi took it up to Antana’s Luck for me.”
His hand reflexively squeezed hers. “Does this mean you’re accepting my invitation?” he asked.
She shifted on the slab, turning towards him. “Is the offer still on the table?”
“Absolutely.” He wrapped an arm around her shoulders, pulling her close to place a kiss on the top of her head. “I want you with me. Always.”

LIS
“Always? Are you sure about that? Because I can be a pretty big pain in the ass.” She needed more than a kiss on the head after all they’d been through. Rising to her knees, she gathered up the hem of the caftan Feriq had gifted her and slung a leg over Nox’s thighs, straddling him. as his leg hair tickled her inner thighs. Heat pooled in her belly.
“Have you met Navi? I can handle a pain in my ass.” His body jolted as she ripped his crinkly hospital gown in half and tossed the pieces over her shoulder.
“You might think so now,” she said, her fingers trailing over his bare chest, following the deep scars across his pectoral and down to his abs, his muscles clenching under her touch. “But I will use up all the hot water.”
“We’ll tweak the heating component.” He groaned when she wrapped a hand around his hard length.
She stroked his shaft, loving how his cock grew beneath her touch. “I leave my clothes everywhere, wet towels on the floor.”
“I’ll get a cleaning bot.” He gripped her hips, his fingers making indentations.
“I’m demanding, bossy, independent, and used to getting my way.” She ran a thumb over the head, smearing precum across the tip.
“Then we’ll talk and fight, then compromise and find extremely satisfying ways to make up,” he groaned. “Let’s be sure to add this to the list.”
“Oh, so you like this?” she asked, using the liquid leaking from his cock to coat the shaft. She gave it a few slow pumps.
