I roused slowly. I didn’t want to open my eyes. My bed was so unbelievably soft, and my pillow was so warm. I groaned, not yet wanting to enter the world of the awakened, and snuggled closer to my pillow.

Then I felt the wetness.

I paused. I was a grown man with no underlying health issues. There was no way I’d wet myself in the night. So, what the hell was that?

Before I could muster the courage to wake up and check, a horrible buzzing sound shattered the peace and quiet.

It took me a second to recognize the noise—my UniCom. It was never a pleasant sound, but it felt particularly grating and out of place.

Groaning, I forced my eyes open. I randomly moved my hand around my bed, trying to find it. Usually it was on my nightstand, but—

A rumbling growl came from beside me. From Zat’tor.

It felt like lightning struck me.

That’s right, I thought. Last night, we...

Without opening his eyes, Zat’tor smacked the UniCom with precision. It flew across the den, smacking against the furthest wall and falling to the ground. The buzzing stopped.

I gaped in both dismay and amusement. Despite the situation, I couldn’t help but laugh.

“Zat’tor,” I chided gently. “That’s a very expensive piece of equipment you might have just broken.”

I wasn’t too worried. They were built as sturdy as possible to withstand a range of elements. Besides, Jaeyoung and Paz also had their own UniComs, so we wouldn’t be stranded if mine broke. Still, I figured I should check it out.

When I tried to stand up, Zat’tor’s tentacle wrapped around my waist and pulled me back down.

“Stay here,” he mumbled, both petulant and demanding.

I grinned as he forced me to snuggle instead of checking the UniCom.

“That’s probably important,” I told him. But in all honesty, I could’ve gone the rest of the day without thinking about work.

“This is more important,” Zat’tor argued, resting his chin on my shoulder as he spooned me from behind. I could’ve gotten out of his grip if I really wanted to, but I didn’t.

I sighed. “Oh, well. I guess command will have to wait.”

“Who is commanding you?” Zat’tor asked. His voice was rough and sexy with sleep. “I’ll rip their heads off...”

I snorted. Then I realized Zat’tor didn’t know anything about my mission, or why I ended up on Eukaria. From his perspective, I’d just fallen out of the sky one day. I hadn’t thought much about my original mission, either, besides the fact that I’d totally botched it. Although, with every passing moment I spent with Zat’tor, that felt less like a failure and more like a blessing in disguise.

The UniCom buzzed again.

From the corner of my eye, I saw Zat’tor glare at it like he had laser vision. Hell, maybe he did. Maeleons were an interesting species.

Instead of zapping it into a pile of soot, Zat’tor sighed and released me.

“Go, if you must, and turn that wretched sound off,” he said.

I didn’t want to leave his embrace any more than he wanted me to leave, but I’d go if it meant getting our peaceful silence back.
