I was never one for trying on clothes in the shop before my accident. The relief that I feel when Jyr steps in to stop the bossy lizard lady making me strip is unreal.

Instead, she walks around me, holding out her strange, scaly hand to show she wants to touch me. I let her run her hands over my body. She clicks to herself as if she’s taking measurements. In a whirl of activity, she’s pulling out boxes and fabric from everywhere, and a pile of clothing grows before me. Now and then she holds something up against me, with further rapid clicks, and it goes on the pile, or slow clicks and it’s thrown to one side.

Finally, she seems to have finished her clothes tsunami impression and sorts through the pile.

“I have some everyday outfits here for you.” She puts several sets of dark red leather-like trousers to one side along with a couple of matching tops, made of a similar material and long-sleeved. “And something for your mating celebration.”

“Mating celebration?” I sound like an idiot as she holds up a dark green dress that’s covered in gold embroidery.

“The Gryn are planning a celebration, are they not?” She cocks her head to one side, and I’m reminded of a chameleon, especially as her scales seem to shimmer to a different color. “They have doubled their food requests and have increased their var beer production.”

“There’s going to be a celebration, but just to introduce me to the rest of the Gryn.”

Lizard lady shakes her head and makes a hiccuping sound.

“You are already mated, but it will not be confirmed until he has shown you to all the warriors in his lair.” She presses a hand over my stomach. “And you are impregnated with his young.”

I jump back from her. “He already knows that’s not going to happen.”

She hiccups again. “The mate bond is strong between you. You cannot deny what your body wants.”

“For fuck’s sake, is every species on this godforsaken planet fucking telepathic?” I fire out. I had more than my fill of humans thinking they knew what was best for me, and I’m damned if I’m going to let a bunch of aliens do the same.

“I only say what I see, my lady Prime.” The lizard lady takes a step back, her forked tongue flicking in the air. “We Kijg have known Jyr a long time, and I have never seen him like this.”

“Like what?” Jyr doesn’t seem to be any different from when I first met him, big, self-assured and as arrogant as fuck, especially when I heard him barking orders at the warriors outside.

“So in love.”

I gape at her, working my mouth like a goldfish at the fair. All this talk of fated mates, of thoughtbonds and mating celebrations.

My mind was already reeling. But love…it had never occurred to me that all of this was about love. That love was at the heart of what Jyr feels towards me.

That my heart could love.

I’m hot and cold at the same time.
