Chapter 13

As Rydak pulled up in front of Jaron’s house, he sat for a moment trying to understand what he’d witnessed. One of Jaron’s three sisters had an arm wrapped around her maman and both females seemed to be having a fit of girlish giggles. Jaron’s papan came from around the back of the house, a dark frown pulling down the sides of his mouth. Not a common expression, since Donil always found a reason to smile.

Like their son, Jaron’s family possessed a healthy sense of humor. Each of them. Which meant something was going on. Rydak exited the hover-car wondering what to expect.

Suddenly, Jaron came barreling from the back of the home as well. His sister and maman squealed. Then both females darted toward Donil and hid behind him. Ignoring his maman, Jaron reached over his papan’s shoulder, trying to get to his oldest sister. Tuali continued to laugh and dance out of reach.

“No, Jaron!” His maman stepped forward and held up her arms to block, all the while grinning.

“Maman, do not encourage her.” Jaron stopped his efforts and planted his hands at his waist to glare.

Donil shook his head at their antics. “Trelia, my Chosen, let them resolve it.”

Jaron’s maman eased from behind her Chosen and assumed a more serious expression though her eyes still twinkled. “You are right. Jaron, your sister meant no harm.”

Jaron’s loud growl said different. More giggles burst forth from Tuali and Jaron’s youngest sister came flying from the back of the home, her little legs kicking up dirt, feet bare. “I hid from Jaron. I win.”

Jaron caught the little one as she tripped saving her from a spill on the ground. He swung Jaeli in the air and more laughter poured forth to fill the yard. Rydak folded his arms and waited. The Aches family made no secret of their enjoyment of personal time together.

The middle sister strolled outside at a more sedate pass, though she wore a smirk plastered on her face. Her blue eyes landed on Rydak and her expression took on a familiar cast. Hopeful and filled with want as she let her gaze moved over him from head to toe. Rydak ignored it as he ignored most females, who seemed to be taken with his physical appearance.

Many found his features more than favorable and his team mates took every opportunity to teasingly reference his looks. He knew they meant no harm. He also knew Misha didn’t truly have an interest in him. She was appreciating the view and not afraid to show it. If his cheeks heated a bit, he ignored that too.

Jaron set his baby sister on her feet as soon as he saw Rydak and with one last glare for his other sister, Tuali, bid them farewell.

His maman ran behind Jaron and hugged him close. Rydak heard her whispered apology, then she waved at Rydak, lips quirked up in greeting. He nodded in return and acknowledged Jaron’s papan, Donil, as well with a respectful incline of his head.
