Chapter 12
Sunder
I hated leaving Aggyâs side. More than anything, Iâd wanted to take her up on her invitation and curl under the blankets with her. Not even for sex, though sex would have been great, I would have been more than happy to just hold her in my arms.
Iâd seen the disappointment on her face, and I knew she thought I was going to say this shouldnât be happening again. Except I couldnât, Iâd never been this attracted to a female before, Aggy was right, I shouldnât squander that. So after our escape, I wasnât going to let her get away, Iâd just have to be patient, the kids were our priority, and neither of us should lose track of that.
Ducking into the bunk room in the barracks after a quick shower, I made sure Uron was in his bed as he was supposed to be. Then I crashed for a couple of hours of much-needed rest. I was planning on being up bright and early so I could take Uron to the courtyard for a training session before the boys were up. I needed some practice as soon as possible to make sure my balance was right.
The young guard had more trouble waking up that morning than I did, and he hated having to get a move on before heâd eaten breakfast. Tough, I wasnât going to pamper him, he needed to work, he needed purpose. It was hard enough to find one on a base filled with slaves and drug makers, so physical activity was the best thing I could do for him.
In the courtyard, we went through the standard warm-up, revised the basics together, and then we sparred for a bit. The young Rummicaron had promise, but he was sloppy and lazy. At least it was good enough for me to figure out how to move with a shortened tail, it was an easy adjustment so I was reassured about my skills for the future.
When Aggy showed up with the kids in tow, I paused to look at them. My eyes skirted over the boys, Jettâs beaming smile. They were alright, no worse for wear after a night partially under Uronâs supervision, not that they knew about that. Aggy was in what she probably thought of as her disguise, the stern ankle-length dress and tight hairdo making her look nothing like her normal sunny self.
Then she ruined the impression by offering me a wide smile full of warmth and mischief, of shared late-night secrets. My cock twitched beneath my kilt and I lashed my shortened tail in agitation, trying to hide just how affected I was by that smile. As I looked at Uron from the corner of my eye, I saw that the young Rummicaron had the audacity to smirk.
Unlike the normal, run-of-the-mill kind of Rummicaron, Uron was part of a small subset of his species where emotions were not quite so suppressed. I felt for the guy because that was a deficiency in the eyes of his people, one heâd been under enormous strain to hide.
