Less than an hour later, their shuttle docked on a small islet. Lush vegetation covered the center of it and pale pink sand gleamed beneath the intense rays of the sun.

A tall cliff, perfect for diving, stood on the east side.

Outside the shuttle, Xenos stood barefoot in the sand, relishing the sensation of it against his flesh. He closed his eyes for a moment and inhaled deeply, enjoying the salty aroma of sea air.

It was a pity he wasn’t revisiting this incomparable planet under better circumstances. Even worse, his pleasure each time he visited Tydepth was tainted by bitterness because he had been denied permanent residence here. He was allowed to visit and had been given permission to have his ashes scattered in Tydisian waters after his death. Despite the deep connection he felt to the water, he would never belong to it as a pure-blooded Tydisian and they would not let him forget it.

It was funny that Moonlight had assumed a Tydisian female would want him. They generally shared the same undesirable opinion of him as Laetez and human females.

However, there were exceptions, such as Princess Shaloa and Moonlight herself. Not that he could compare the two.

Shaloa wanted him because she was rebellious and knew her father didn’t approve of him, not to mention she had been curious about fucking a mongrel. Fortunately for both of them, she’d been thoroughly pleased by the experience. Shaloa had a preference for large cocks and she wouldn’t find any among pure-blooded Tydisian males.

Sex with Shaloa had been physically satisfying, but lacked the complete fulfillment he experienced with Moonlight. Moonlight had a deep and beautiful soul, something neither he nor Shaloa shared. Perhaps he was better suited to a woman like the Princess, yet he didn’t want her. In spite of how he tried not to, he craved Moonlight’s company.

“This is unbelievably gorgeous,” Moonlight said, stooping to pick up handfuls of the dazzling pink sand.

The sight of her enjoying the richness of Tydepth pleased him. Oddly, he’d wanted her to appreciate it. Perhaps in a way, it further confirmed her acceptance of him.

He growled deep in his chest. Since when had he cared whether or not a pure-blood, in particular a human or Laetez, accepted him?

“We’d better start diving,” Tepidat said. “My wife won’t be happy if we’re late for dinner.”

“Are you diving from that cliff?” Moonlight pointed toward the tall, rocky structure.

“Yes,” Xenos said.

“Good. I’ll be able to watch from here.”

“If you get bored, there’s a freshwater pool about half a mile inland,” Xenos told her. “No large predators, so you’ll be safe.”

They exchanged glances before he followed Tepidat and Zale toward the cliff.

A short time later, they were diving into the deep, warm sea.

At first, Xenos was so taken by the pleasure that all he noticed was the thrill of soaring over the cliff and the joy of swimming. Then, as he positioned himself on the edge of the cliff for another dive, he caught saw Moonlight watching from the beach and warmth spread through him.
