“We’ll talk later,” Dr. Cohen said, waving at Brook before following her mate towards the door.
“You can count on that, and congratulations!”
“Thanks,” the scientist said, putting a gentle hand on her belly.
After they’d left, Ontarii turned to her. “What were you congratulating her for?”
Brook gave him a wide smile. “The Supreme Regent is going to be a father.”
Ontarii’s face filled with surprise just before he stood up and pulled Brook into his arms.
“Oh, my love, that’s wonderful news!”
“Yes it is.” She pulled him down for a long kiss. “Now let’s go see if we can make our own.”
“But we just mated. I would think that was our opportunity.” His eyebrow lifted in question.
“Are you refusing to make love to me?” She smiled nefariously.
“Right. Get in the bed, woman. What was I thinking?”
“You weren’t.”
The End
