Chapter Seven

Her hair was in her standard braids along her skull, turning into loose waves down past her shoulders, but the beads on the ends had been changed to match her evening wear.

Her nails also sported black and silver, as did her eye makeup. When she left the spa and salon, she was coordinated from head to toe with her bodysuit in Dotha’s care.

“Oh, I forgot to give this to you. Nothven would have my head if you showed up without it.”

An elegant silver skimmer was Dotha’s personal conveyance, and she fished around in a compartment, producing a box with a flourish. “Aha!”

Curious, Mae opened the box and looked with confusion at the object inside until understanding rippled through her. Giggles broke out as she put in the hooks that allowed the goblets to swing gently against her neck, and she then slipped the necklace with the hanging goblets around her neck.

“I don’t understand the significance, but if you find it funny, it is obviously a joke between you two.”

Mae grinned. “It hearkens back to the first time I met him.”

Dotha raised her hands. “I don’t want to know, we are going to be late if we don’t get going.”

As Mae took her seat, Dotha triggered a bubble over the skimmer. “I don’t want to mess up your hair, though that is a really practical hairdo.”

Mae chuckled as they left the boutique area of the new city and headed for a huge building on the outer rim of the habitation.

Dotha sighed. “I hope one day I am invited to this party, but until that day, I will have to be satisfied living vicariously through you.”

The light had turned to a pinkish purple as the sunlight began its daily march. The building Dotha stopped at looked far older than the colony was. Dotha pulled into the rotunda and a doorman assisted Mae out of the skimmer. “Agent Lassiter, Commander Harring is waiting inside.”

She inclined her head and walked into the building, head high and shoulders bare. The moment she saw Nothven in his black silk shirt and tight trousers, she could feel the heat in his gaze.

His stride was purposeful as he approached her. “You look…”

She fought a shiver as he pressed a kiss to the inside of her wrist. “Thank you. I feel good as well. Your cousin is quite the enthusiast for all things spa related.”

Nothven smiled. “She really is. Did you have fun with her?”

Mae nodded. “It was the first girl’s day out I have had in a very long time. Certainly the first time I have ever received a four-armed massage.”

He turned and tucked her hand around his arm. “Well, let me introduce you around.”

She fixed a smile on her face, and for the next hour and a half, she allowed herself to be introduced to every mated male of standing in the entire community.

The mayor’s wife was indeed wearing the Rehani knock-off. She complimented the mayor’s wife on the gown, and the woman smiled, “It’s an original Rehani.
