Kash knew that his rooms were barren and cold compared to the comfortable haven Gwen had created for herself back on Earth. He could claim that it was because these were only temporary quarters, but his residence back on Pyros wasn’t much better. A lifetime of military service had made him a minimalist. He could live in the palace, but he’d always chosen to reside near his men. Now that Gwen was part of his life, that would have to change. Flames. Everything was going to change, now. He stared in wonder at the female curled against his side. He was a mated male.

Curious, he held up his hand and focused his thoughts, visualizing flames enveloping his fingers. The fire erupted almost instantly.

“Whoa! Warn a girl, would you?” Gwen flinched, then retreated from the flames.

“Apologies. I hadn’t expected it to work the first time I tried it.” He banished the flames with a flick of his hand.

“Isn’t fire a bad thing in space? What happens if you set the room on fire? Or me, for that matter? I’ve already been burned once today, thank you.”

“As my mate, you are immune to my flames. And given what we are, every ship in the fleet is outfitted with extensive fire prevention measures. There was a time when there were enough mated soldiers that they could work together to form a sort of living weapon. We were feared throughout worlds, and none dared to threaten us.” He summoned the flame again, a tiny blaze that danced on his outstretched palm.

“You’re sure I won’t get burned?”

“I would never risk harming you, kaheya.”

She ran her fingers up the length of his forearm, pausing when she reached his hand. “I don’t feel much heat.”

“Nor do I.”

It pleased him that she trusted him enough to test the flame, passing her hand over of it, and then through it.

“That’s amazing. I thought you were a badass before. Now, you’re like a badass dual-class fighter wizard.”

“A what?” He had no idea what a wizard was, but he liked the sound of it.

“I guess your education didn’t include Tolkien’s books or Dungeons and Dragons. A wizard is someone who can wield magic. Not that magic really exists. Well, maybe it does. I mean, Lisa drew a picture of Vadir weeks ago, and she got every detail right. So maybe?” She closed her eyes. “I’m too tired to deal with that possibility right now. I’m still dealing with the fact aliens are real.”

“You can tell me more about wizards and Tolkien another time. And I would like to hear about dragons, too. The Romaki dragon clans will likely be very interested to hear that there is a word for their species on your planet. Perhaps the Pyrosians were not the only ones to visit your world.”

“Wait. What? There are space dragons? Big, fire-breathing lizard things with wings and piles of treasure?”

“There are two Romaki clans: Snow and Fire. They are an ancient race, and yes, in their beast forms they do have wings.
