Chapter 34
Caleb wasn’t alone when he woke. He also wasn’t in his cell.
Or maybe he was.
He glanced around the room without moving his head, which felt like it had a vice pressing on it. He was in another bedroom. It was larger and more luxurious, with numerous holographic artworks projecting out from the walls, displaying scenes that Lieutenant Harai had likely found erotic. Inahri women mostly, in various number, scene, pose, and state of undress. An entire pool of women frolicking beneath a waterfall. A single Inahri female stretched out languidly on a bed. There were others, but Caleb lost interest.
The blankets beneath him were some kind of fur, softer than anything he had felt before. A canopy hung above him, intricately woven with thread that changed color with each minute shift of his eyes. There was a pool to his left—like the one in the harem—filled with steaming hot water. On his right was a second smaller bed, its purpose unclear to him. He found the bathroom beside it, clearly more substantial than his last one.
He glanced down. He was naked again, the wound from the Dabboth branch completely healed.
“Sergeant Caleb,” Lia said.
He didn’t see her right away. He forced his head off the pillow, wincing when it throbbed with the effort. She was standing in the doorway to the bedroom, dressed in a semi-translucent robe that turned opaque only when it reached the tips of her breasts and dropped between her legs. He hadn’t seen her like this before. Nobody would ever mistake her for a model or even a highly-regarded breeder. But she was natural. Normal. Real.
“This is Lieutenant Harai’s cell,” he guessed. It hurt his head more to speak.
“It’s yours now.”
“How long was I out?” He felt like he was spending more time unconscious than conscious since he had arrived at the Citadel.
“One-eighth cycle.” More than a day by Earth standards. “Harai ordered me here to wait for you to wake. It’s Inahri custom for the winner of a Kuu challenge to choose, but since you picked me the prior evening, he said you wouldn’t mind.”
“I don’t mind,” Caleb said. It meant Harai had no idea what they had spoken about that night. As far as the Lieutenant was concerned, he and Lia had slept together. “So I’m in charge of Dojo Shing?”
She smiled. “You are.”
“That seems pretty convenient, doesn’t it?”
“It does. You aren’t happy about it?”
“No. Why are you standing over there?”
“You haven’t asked me in.”
“Am I supposed to?”
“I thought it would be best. If you want to pick a different woman—a breeder maybe—the Shing is yours now. All of Harai’s breeders are yours, save for a few that he brought to his new cell with him.”
“Is Oni still out there?”
“She is. Do you prefer her?”
“I prefer both of you. Is that allowed?”
Lia looked slightly disappointed. “Of course. You could have all of us at once if that’s what you want.”
“Don’t get the wrong idea. We’ve got work to do. Go fetch Oni and bring her back here with you, please.
