Chapter Seven

They traveled in circles for more than a day, simply to make sure that their path

back to Spygia was not tailed by the Malucon ship they had encountered. Natalie found that out when she asked why it was taking them so long to reach deep space. Not that

she was anxious for that to happen, or anything.

Yeah, right.

She knew full well that they wouldn’t be able to leave the ship on autopilot until

they’d hit deep space. And they wouldn’t complete the mating ritual until then. Even

though she had already been with Andros the night that the Malucon ship approached,

the ritual would not be complete until she had mated with all of them, and they all had to be there when it happened.

The whole thing left her completely hot and bothered, especially since, with the

exception of her one bathroom romp with Zafron, none of the men would go anywhere

near her. She would have been insulted if not for the looks of deep longing and

frustrated lust they were constantly sending her way. No, it was obvious that their

control was stretched to the limit, that they had reached the point where they didn’t trust themselves any longer to touch her body without taking her.

Which left her with a lot of time to herself. Thank goodness for the library.

When Natalie had first visited the library, she’d been shocked to see that it

contained books made of a thin paper. They were very much like the books from her

planet, but the paper looked like a stronger, more durable version of vellum. Even more surprising was the translator, a small portable device with a computer-like screen that she could place the book into and have the Spygian words translated into any language she chose, including English.

It had been amusing to see that the Spygian books bore a similarity to those from

Earth. There were fiction novels that seemed to feature battles between different worlds.

A few books that made her cheeks flush, with their depictions of various sexual

positions. Sort of like the Spygian Kama Sutra, with most of the illustrations containing two or more men pleasuring—or being pleasured by—one woman. Apparently Andros

hadn’t been lying about the Spygian culture’s ready encouragement of multi-partner

relationships.

There had also been some Spygian history books, as Andros had assured her. She

carried one out to the greenhouse today, spreading a blanket out on the grass floor by the bridge, where she could hear the steady trickle of the artificial creek and take in the lavender scent of the theamene. It was fascinating to read the early history of the planet, to learn that it was so similar in many ways to Earth. She lost track of the time she’d been out there when a deep, amused voice sounded from behind her. “Having a

picnic?”

She turned. Andros strode toward her from the meandering path. Hastily sitting up

from her prone position, she swept her hair back with a blush. “Oh, no, just reading

some of your history.”

Taking large strides, he quickly reached the blanket. “May I sit with you for a

time?”

Natalie nodded her head, her heart skipping a beat.
