CHAPTER SEVEN

AAREK

The memory of Vivian’s kiss played across my mouth like ghostly fingers. My lips still tingled where we had touched.

I had to force myself not to think about it too much—every time the memory crossed my mind, my cock twitched. I wanted more than anything to bury myself in her, make her mine.

Technically, Khanavai males stationed on Earth were not supposed to actively search for mates among human women. All pairings were supposed to go through Station 21 and the Bride Lottery.

But I assumed that was simply a formality—Central Command wanted human-Khanavai pairings, and as long as we registered our commitment to one another with the proper authorities, both on Earth and on Khanavai Prime, no one would stop us from being together.

But for now, I had to content myself with the knowledge that she was as interested in me as I was in her.

We had work to do first.

I had sent the Khanavai guardsman to various strategic points in the building. Clearly, the MEHA humans did not have a complete blueprint of the Embassy, which led me to believe they had somehow gotten their hands on one of the original blueprints. As the Embassy was being built, those were modified for security purposes. And specific elements, like the ambassador’s private lift, had been added but not advertised.

In the hallway outside the ballroom, the two guards I had sent to the catering area joined us.

“Everything secure?” I asked.

The senior guardsman of the two gave a curt nod. “They had two humans guarding the catering staff. They have been stunned and secured.”

Good. I did not want to kill any more of them than absolutely necessary. That would be too easy for them.

I wanted these monsters to suffer at the hands of the Khanavai judicial system.

We were not as soft as human judges.

Besides, if we used our stun settings, it wouldn’t matter if some guests were caught in Khanavai friendly fire. They might be displeased, but they would be alive. Our only real concern was keeping them from being shot by the terrorists.

I checked on the other guards, using the com system that I had set to a secure channel. The MEHA humans might have the system locked down in terms of outgoing calls, but they did not have the technological knowledge to keep us from communicating with one another on a strictly Khanavai channel.

“Everyone in place?” I murmured into my wristcom.

A number of affirmative responses came back, along with some other text responses from the guards who were concerned that they might be overheard if they spoke.

Most of those guards were currently situated in the maintenance areas of the embassy—including several in the ceiling above the ballroom itself. The maintenance spaces had been enlarged from the original blueprint to be made big enough for Khanavai males to use them.

I gave the predetermined command to set our plan in motion. “On the count of three, everyone. One, two, three. Go, go, go!”

I took up the rear of the line of Khanavai guardsman, pulling Vivian in close to me.
