KAI

What was wrong with me? Reconnecting with my heartstone had turned me into an emotional wreck. The Valos were a peaceful people. We didn’t fight each other and kept rivalries to friendly challenges. Duke’s gaze upon Lydia held no covetous edge. His kindness toward her followed our customs of hospitality. Yet, the attention she bestowed upon him bothered me to no end. An irrational aggression had robbed me of coherent thought the minute Lydia’s lips had connected with his cheek. I’d recognized it as a mere sign of gratitude but it still made my heartstone burn. Her current coverings looked pitiful. I should have thought of it first.

Duke’s rippling muscles played under the ice-blue skin of his strong back as he marched toward the living area. Almost as bulky as Miners, Builders like Duke developed muscular bodies. I remembered all too well how Lydia’s eyes had scrutinized my brother. For the first time in my existence, I felt inadequate. As an artist, I could make pretty things for her, but Builders were better suited to provide the exotic female with convenience and comfort. Gatherers and Hunters could supply a greater diversity of food and meal preparations. And there was no question Lydia loved food.

The memory of her warm skin against mine as I fed her awakened sensations beneath my loincloth I had long forgotten. Who could have imagined I’d ever welcome again anything other than frost? Yet, the heat of her body had seeped into mine, melting the ice that ran through my veins. Her softness made my fingers itch with need, especially those ridiculous bumps that had risen all over her. Lydia’s pliable curves nestled perfectly with mine. I wished that meal had never ended so that she’d remain on my lap, in my embrace, forever. Remembering the sounds of pleasure she made while eating fanned the fire in my belly.

What would it feel like for her to press her lips to my cheek as well? What would it be like to have her entirely naked, pressed against my own bare flesh?

What does she look like beneath those rags?

Her shyness at exposing herself made my brows twitch. Why hide? Showing her legs, arms, and face didn’t seem to bother her. What could be so special about her torso and groin that it should remain covered?

An unpleasant thought crossed my mind. Her breasts were big, swelling under her coverings. Our females’ chests only inflated when with child or during their nursing years. By their size, and considering Lydia’s flat belly, no babe grew inside her. Did she have offspring somewhere desperate for the return of their mother?

Duke came to a halt in the middle of the living area then turned to face me. His serious expression put a damper on my thoughts.

“The female is strange, but clearly not a Creator. Has she told you where she came from and what brought her here?”

I ran a hand over the braid at the back of my head, my heartstone heating with embarrassment.
