CEPHARIUS

My little mate was tucked against me, and as ludicrous as the situation was—her being only a third of my total body mass, if that—it was as if someone had placed an anchor on my heart.

I wouldn't move her till she woke up on her own. I stroked against her soft, soft skin. I didn't really think she was bred—nor did she, I knew—but we had tried our hardest.

"Is that what you wanted?" I thought out at the spaceship.

Was that why it'd brought me here?

So that I could please Elle?

I didn't get an answer, but the wavelength of light in the room that made her glow to me brightened a little.

"If you can see into my mind—why can't you just tell me what you're thinking?" I cast out, as loudly as I could.

It was a mistake—it roused Elle. "Cepharius?" she sleepily wondered.

I wound protective tentacles around her. "Shhhh, little pearl. Breeding is exhausting. Sleep." She had done so well, and brought both of us so much pleasure.

"You should rest too." A voice I didn't recognize came onto our shared 'qa—and before I could panic and wake Elle up, it pushed me down until I also fell under.
