I usually camped out in my father’s office during missions, but since he seemed deeply invested in whatever he was working on, I’d set up in the conference room. Half because Amun was so large and the three of us wouldn’t have fit in that office all together, but also because this room reminded me of my nightmares.

My nightmares. I’d always thought of them as such, but were they?

I honestly think I was a bit more angry than sad. No, I felt pretty dejected as well. Hopeless? I had no idea how to feel. Especially since from what I had gathered from Amun… the most likely scenario wasn’t that they didn’t want me, it was that they were worried they would hurt me in the process of expressing how much they wanted me. A decision and risk that a twenty-four year old woman was perfectly capable of making for herself, for the record.

Yeah, this was going to require a conversation for sure.

Although, would a conversation actually change anything? I mean, all I could say was ‘Hey, I’m not worried about you killing me, so if you wanted to, you know… get down and dirty, I’m game.’ I nearly face-palmed at that thought. What was wrong with me? Seriously, down and dirty? Maybe, just maybe, this was why I couldn’t get laid. Just a fucking thought there.

It was just frustrating, because of course they had an affect on me, but the very center of my chest, my instinct, was telling me that they wouldn’t hurt me. Even Amun. That being with them was the right thing.

I really didn’t think this was just my body doing the thinking for my brain, either. Although, I had to admit, there was a lot of pent-up sexual tension there, so I could hardly blame myself.

A shiver ran up my spine as I considered the kiss Amun and I had shared, leaving me light-headed and dizzy. Honestly, it had been absolutely amazing, and the only time I started to feel sick at all was when he’d pulled away. It was as if I was already addicted to his touch. As if he had stopped something that was supposed to be natural. A frustrated sound broke from my throat as my skin pulsed, wanting his touch once again.

“You haven’t finished your dinner,” Amun observed as he walked in the room. My eyes darted up to him, and I tried to hide my blush behind taking a sip of my tea in my familiar unicorn mug. I felt like I’d been caught thinking about him… because I literally had been.

My eyes ran over his handsome self, who had clearly not only showered but changed while stopping by the dorms. His once muscular, uncovered chest was now clothed in a dark ISS training shirt and athletic pants that made him look a bit more modern. Although I had to admit, I missed his bare chest and my hands running over it…

I tried to refocus, looking at the large serving of pasta that my father had ordered from the kitchen for me.
