Chapter Seven

Dinner at the village was sparsely populated. Ceelie smiled sheepishly at the exhausted couples that did manage to attend. Warcoth and Gilla were sitting side by side, occasionally holding hands as they passed food to the avatars that were, themselves, a little tired.

The curious gazes that focussed on Ceelie’s bite were intense and constant. She finally had to ask Rimeer, “I am guessing that the biting is no longer a common thing.”

He wove his fingers through hers. His hair gleamed from their bath. “It is not. Drinking of the water brought them closer to the planet, so a bond is formed on a sub-network of senses now. They do not need the more aggressive bond that my people formed.”

“You bonded by blood.”

“It proved compatibility. The women bit the men, the men the women and if either suffered from any side effects beyond the euphoria, the match was negated.”

She leaned forward. “You would enjoy being bitten yourself?”

He sighed. “You are not equipped to engage in that sort of bite.”

Ceelie twisted her lips and contacted Hassoi. Would he truly want me to be able to bite him?

Yes. He yearns to feel your teeth in his flesh as you tighten around him.

Can you start the change?

It has already begun.

Ceelie smiled. “I might be. You haven’t seen all the changes that Hassoi has engaged in. He simply didn’t get your entire list.”

“I told him not to change your appearance.”

“He took that to mean teeth as well. He is working on it as we speak.” She could feel the tingle of power that accompanied Hassoi’s changes. It was an odd feeling to have fangs taking the place of the first three teeth next to her incisors on either side. These teeth were meant for serious slicing. There was no doubt about it.

“You will have to bear with me as the teeth come in.” She ran a finger along the edge of her teeth. When she tasted blood, she pulled her finger out.

“You seriously asked Hassoi for bonding teeth?” Rimeer’s features took on a cast that she was becoming intimately familiar with. He was turned on.

“I did. Since we are bonded mates, I may as well go all the way, so to speak.”

He pulled her onto his lap and settled her against him. “Hassoi is healing you, but you have had enough going all the way for the day. Relax and rest. We will be travelling quite a bit over the next few days, so you will need to rest when you can.”

“Why will we travel?”

“Your people need to see you. Hassoi has spread the word that he has tapped a second avatar and that she is not of this world. They will need to see you to understand.”

Biting her lip, she looked up at him. “Am I that hard to fathom?”

Rimeer hugged her tightly. “It is a pursuit that I will give myself to for the next thousand years or so. After that, I may ask for a hint.”

She sighed and leaned against him, Hassoi hard at work healing and reshaping parts of her body.
