Chapter 12

I didn’t say anything for a second, but just as it started to look like Yu was going to piss himself, I shook my head.

“I appreciate you volunteering, Lux,” I told the warrior woman. “Under different circumstances, I would accept your offer, but I want you to come with me down to Patapi - 2g.”

“You do?” Lux asked.

“Yes,” I answered. “Someone else can guard Yu on Persephone. You’ll be of greater use to me down on the planet, and in fact, if this bunker is locked up as tight as I think it will be, I’ll definitely want you with me.”

The black-haired Valkyrie’s face didn’t betray a single emotion, but I felt an undeniable rush of pleasure flow toward me from her. The feeling was strong for less than half a second before it faded away, but in that brief moment, I sensed feelings of deep pride mixed in too, along with something else that I couldn’t quite identify.

I had been able to sense Dana’s emotions before through her submission bond to Madalena, so I realized this same connection must be the reason I felt Lux’s emotions now since the pig-tailed Valkyrie was also submitted to my warrior wife.

I just hadn’t expected to feel them quite so strongly.

“As you wish, Adam,” Lux replied, and then she stepped back into the shadows of the restaurant.

“Then who will guard me?” Yu looked relieved but a little disappointed at the same time.

“Dragon and his four ex-wives,” I chuckled. “I know it’s been a while since you last saw Dragon, or should I say, since you last held him as your prisoner, so I’m sure you two will have plenty to catch up on.”

That surprise managed to shut Yu up until after we had finished our dinner, so I knew it was the correct decision.

Once we were done eating, I had Calisto summon everyone back to Persephone so we could all go over our plans together. There was still plenty to think about when it came to the rest of our rescue mission, like how we were going to bypass security and break into a secret underwater facility, but now that we had a way to keep Eve somewhere as a decoy while she also came with us, we had one less problem to deal with.

Everything else was only a matter of details.

Our hovercraft reached Persephone before any of the rest of my wives, but as soon as we headed up to the bridge, I saw that Dragon and his four ex-wives were already there.

“Ah, Tiger, it is good to see this man as a prisoner.” Dragon stood up from his gunner station to bow to me. “He has caused us both a great deal of pain, and for this alone, he deserves no mercy.”

“That might be true,” I replied. “But right now, he’s useful to me.”

“Hello, Dragon,” Yu said. “Lovely to see you again. Been a while, has it? Well, I won’t apologize for everything that happened the last time we were
