Chapter 11
Mackenna
I fall asleep in Coxâs arms, and I feel safe and loved and protected.
And it terrifies me to no end.
But I don't jerk away from him when I wake. I just stay there, in his arms, until I realize he's awake too.
âWere you watching me sleep?â I ask him.
âI woke a moment or two before you did.â
âDid something wake us?â
âNo. Are you hungry?â
I shake my head even though I could eat. âI⦠You havenât been to Alea in three years.â
âLonger,â he admits. âI visited other planets to find youâto find my mateâbefore I went to Earth.â
âIt hasnâtâ¦â I swallow hard. âIt hasnât been since you were in your twenties since youâve been home, has it? Please tell me that isnât the case.â
âA decade,â he says. âI tried for the initial trip for a decade. Thatâs how long Leanians will typically try for and then gave up, and Iâll admit that I gave up for a time.â
âYou donât look like youâre old,â I murmur.
âIâm sixty-nine.â
I burst out laughing. âOf course you are.â
He furrows his brow. âWhat do you mean?â
âIâll explain it to you another time. I want to talk now.â
âAh, so itâs something sexual.â
âYes. Now, continue. You gave up.â
âI did, and I stayed here on Leanian for another decade. I had waited a bit for my first trip, until I was thirty, because I wanted to spend more time with my siblings, but I could wait no longer.â
âSo⦠thirty, forty, fifty. You havenât been gone for almost two decades, have you?â
âItâs been a long, long quest to find you, Mackenna.â
âDo you have anything else for me to wear?â I ask, sitting up. âThis smells like sex, and I think it has cum stains on it.â
âIâm sorry. Let me see what I can do.â
He kisses me, dresses, and leaves the room only to return with a small plate of food and a drink that reminds me more of half and half. I eat as he leaves again, and when he returns, he has a dress that is little more than a slip.
âItâs not much, but itâs the best I can do,â he says. âIf I had more time, I could make youââ
âWait, you just went and made this for me now?â I interrupt.
âYes.â
âBut you donât know my measurements.â
He smirks. âDonât I?â He holds out his arms as if heâs hugging me. âMy arms do.â
I try the dress on. It fits like it was made for me, which it had been.
âYou really did learn a lot of trades, didnât you?â
âI learned from people on so many planets, and Iâm more than willing to teach you and any future children, and if we donât have any, maybe my siblings will allow me to teach their children. Knowledge should never be wasted.â
âNo,â I murmur.
He eyes the plate. I ate exactly half. âArenât you hungry? Do you not like it?â
âI saved it for you, but yes, Iâm hungry.â I bite my lower lip. âYouâve been gone for almost twenty years. You should go and see your family.
