BANTOKK

We get out of Reztax’s pleasure house as soon as our business is done. He’s set up a meeting for us with the Rulmek. Now we just have to wait. This planet unnerves me. Knowing such seedy dealings are going on basically everywhere gives me an uneasy feeling, as if the vice and degeneracy will infect me.

We walk the streets, trying to get out of the downtown. We foolishly think that when we get to the outskirts of the city that the landscape will return to some semblance of normalcy. But if anything, the city center is where the more mainstream vices are located, and the outskirts are where the fringe pleasures are indulged.

Still, we find a place that rents rooms, and I pay for one room. Lia shoots me a look, but I ignore her. If she thinks I’m leaving her alone in her own room in a place like Irji, then she’s crazier than I thought. We find our room, and instead of the opulence and comfort that was exuded by Reztax’s pleasure house, this is bare-bones minimalist. The floors are utility-grade polymer composite, and the one window is fitted with polycarbonate scratched and opaque from the years and the countless travelers. There are no comm or entertainment devices in the room, and the shower is a bare pipe jutting from the wall.

“Fancy,” Lia says as she takes a look around. “You really know how to treat a lady.”

“The simplicity will remind us of our purpose,” I say. “We are not on a vacation, entitled to luxurious rest and relaxation.”

“I don’t think I could relax if I tried,” she says, and I believe that. “Especially since there’s only one bed.”

It’s a large mattress, but still, we will be sharing it. The thought of being so close to her, of being able to feel her warmth and inhale her scent, is causing me to flush uncomfortably. Could it be? I feel hot all over, pinpricks erupting on my skin. Like I just contracted a fast-acting fever in a far-flung tropical planet. I go into the bathroom and close the door. There is a mirror bolted to the wall, smeared and greasy with fingerprints of various races with various appendages. Still, I can see my reflection well enough.

I’m undergoing the change.

My chest is turning purple—that’s the visible physical sign. But there’s more changes happening on a molecular level. My body is changing, literally, to attach myself to my mate. Unless I can get this under control, I’m going to start rutting. I’m going to claim Lia as my mate right now in this dingy rented room.

Because she is my mate. Mine.

My bonded mate.

I can feel it now. The desire I’ve felt toward her was no paltry lust. It was a sign from the Universe. The fates trying to tell me something. Hey, you, here’s your mate, you lucky bastard. Except I don’t feel so lucky. Lia and I have two completely different ways of life. There’s no way this could work.
