Conell watched as the woman he’d fallen in love with walked away. She was so tiny and petite in comparison to him that he often wanted to pull her into his arms and shelter her from the world. He couldn’t explain his behavior before learning she’d been selected for him, nor had he tried, but after hearing the exchange between her and Darrin, he understood.

He locked gazes with a man he knew well. “Tell me everything.”

“She should be the one to tell you.”

“Darrin, don’t. She won’t and you know it.” He let out a long, shaky breath, stunned his brother knew more about Kiwi than he did. “Start at the beginning. You know, the part where Mom and Dad arranged for me to be married but didn’t feel the need to tell me.”

His older brother sighed. “You spent so long denying the Vanos part of us that they were afraid you wouldn’t look for your mate. That you’d ignore the urges and keep your nose buried in a book so they took it upon themselves to find her.”

His mate?

He’d heard of such a thing—that the Vanos, unlike humanoids, had a perfect someone they were compatible with. Sure, they could breed, even care for another, but in the end, legends told of how each had a lifemate, a perfect match roaming the universe. Being a man of science, Conell put little to no stock in legends. His parents knew him well. He’d have laughed at the idea of having a mate.

That was the old Conell. The new one had a nagging feeling there was truth behind the tales. From the very moment he’d laid eyes on the stubborn girl with a hot temper and a quick wit, his cock had been in a permanent state of erection. He hadn’t been joking when he told Kiwi he was a smart man until he was around her and then he suddenly had trouble forming sentences.

Conell would spend countless hours watching her from afar, memorizing every curve of her heart-shaped face and every fleck of color sprinkled through her hazel eyes. Brad, a long-time friend and the commander of the vessel, often teased him about laws being in place to prevent men from following women around but Conell couldn’t help himself.

“How did Mom and Dad find her?”

Darrin shut the hatch to his Star Union vessel. “They didn’t. Her father found them. He said his daughter was plagued by reoccurring dreams and that she talked in her sleep. He also mentioned she had no memory of them upon waking. They brought in a sleep expert and they hooked her up to a viewing machine.”

Conell had heard of the technique. It allowed people to see what the person dreaming was seeing. “And?”

Darrin grinned. “And apparently, she was dreaming of your sorry self. You know—” Darrin winked, “—home, hubby, two kids. The works. I guess when they spotted your University nametag, they hunted you down. Our parents decided the best way to ensure you’d meet with her would be to simply drop her off on your doorstep with the news she was to be your wife.
