FERTILITY RITE

brained felt fried. “Let’s talk about this tomorrow. It’s getting late. I assume you don’t have anyplace to stay? How did you get here?”

“Teleportation. I must return to the same spot to be transported back to Vrotia. We have forty-eight hours before I must return.”

“Forty-eight hours! That’s not long enough to get to know someone before—” Every time he attempted to say something to her it seemed he got tongue-tied. This situation was way outside of his comfort zone.

Did he want to take her to bed? Well, hell yes. Who wouldn’t? But like this?

“It is all the time we have before I must return.”

He turned away from her. “Come with me. I’ll show you where you can sleep. You can have my sister’s old room.”

“She won’t mind?”

“She’s been gone a long time. She’s married now. I guess that would translate to mated for you.”

“She was given her own estate to manage?”

He snorted. “Hardly. She moved to the city and got a job. She and her husband live in an apartment there.”

He saw surprise in her eyes. “She left all this? Amazing. On Vrotia, when a Vrotian mates, she is provided an estate, much like this. To live in a city would not be something one chose to do if there was another option. Like this. Tradespeople live in the cities—mostly those from other planets who are mated with our winged women of the secondary societies.”

“Sounds complicated. So, what? Does the mate work for her?”

“Goodness no, they are equal partners. Simply because he is not a Vrotian does not make him a lesser citizen.”

“So is there divorce on your planet?”

“Divorce?”

“Do mates ever split up?”

“No. Never that I have heard of. Mating is for life.”
